Is this what my trip report is coming to?!

I'm watching Hugh Hefner's True Hollywood Story! Interesting stuff!

 

[MickeyCrazedMom]

Great update! At least Hunter tried ToT. I couldn't get Aidan to step onto the elevator. Guess we will have to go back to try it again!

We loved the Beauty and the Beast show too, looks like we did the same things at MGM!

YAY!!! You are back!! Great update, I adored all the pictures. You have such a beautiful family. Hunter is so brave doing TOT, even if he didn't like it at least he tried.

Can't wait to read more .

Hi Tracy! Happy to be back on the DIS! Thanks! He felt brave!

Great update! At least Hunter tried ToT. I couldn't get Aidan to step onto the elevator. Guess we will have to go back to try it again!

You mean "not much"?! We were happy with our day. Love that show. And again, found myself tearing up and apparently so did my mom. She said, "We're so weird. What's wrong with us?" I said, "Nothing. I know a big group of people on the internet who do the exact same thing!"

Great update - The shirts you made are nice

Thanks! It was alot of fun, and we got alot of comments.

Monica, first of all.... So glad you're back!

Now, on to the installment:

I absolutely loooovvvveeee the photopass pictures! I'm so aggravated that I didn't get the "stitch" picture. I knew about it, but in all honesty with our 1/2 day at MGM, combined with our JTA catastrophe, I don't think I once saw or even looked for a photopass person until we were leaving. And then it was Shawn who noticed them! Go Shawn!

The shirts look fantastic - you did such a good job!

Sorry, ToT wasn't a hit! I have no idea what the ride is like, because I'm too much of a chicken to go on it! So the fact that he tried it is great! Yay Hunter!

We missed BatB this time (among tons of other things) but I adore it! And yes, you can count me as one of those people on the Internet who understand about you and your mom crying at it! It's very well done!

Can't wait for more!!!!!!

I'M BACK! I'M BACK! I'M BACK, I'M BACK, I'M BACK!!!!!

Now, for my adoring followers, AN UPDATE!

I had to have a little party to celebrate your return! Now I will go read your update!!!!

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

Monica~ that was fantastic!!! Loved your update!!!

Your photopass pics are awesome! We never came across an overly ambitious photopass photographer! They all took maybe 2 pics and then lowered their camera! "Snapping away" was not part of our experience! Oh well!

Your shirts looked great!!! Someone must have given you some really good tips on getting them to turn out so fabulous!

These are for Hunter for trying TOT!!! I am impressed!!! I am too scared to ride it!

 

[kaysmommie]

Great and update and pics! Nice to see you back on the DIS. I guess Hunter won't be riding TOT again. MGM (hollywood studios now) is my least favorite park too . If it wasn't for DS3 needing to see the McQueen and DD loving the animation studio, I would just skip it next trip.

 

[iluv2go2disney]

My kids also don't really care for MGM. There are a few things they like there but we can usually get those done in a few hours. They love Epcot.
Great update. Ready for more.

Monica. Great update. I love the Stitch picture. We did the same one but we didn't make the great faces like you guys did. And I love those shirts. I may have to get that one from you. I'm assuming that's one of your designs? Anyway, I'm glad you are back online again. I'm trying to get my trip report started here, waiting for our photopass cd to arrive. My experience with ToT is much better than Hunter's.

Yeah, some whack-o took over my pre-trip report one day and gave a demonstration. Gotta love thoses whacky friends!

I believe that I have mentioned that I LOVE PHOTOPASS! We were good at finding the photographers that were just standing around. We asked for what we wanted too. (Except for Stitch. That was a fun surprise!)

I've been avoiding your report because I don't want to read The End! I'll get over there tonight.

I want to do the Animation studio sometime and my favorite attraction is...(coming up in my next installment!)

My kids also don't really care for MGM. There are a few things they like there but we can usually get those done in a few hours. They love Epcot.
Great update. Ready for more.

I hope to get another installment up tonight, but Dave needs to reinstall the scanner so I can scan my mom's pictures. So glad you've joined us!

Great report. Really enjoying your trip report and can't wait to hear more.
I LOVE the shirts, how did you do it? Is there thread on the disboards somewhere that shows you how to do these? thanks

 

[jacobsmom00]

Love your report! Can't wait to read the rest!

Thank you and WELCOME! If you search under "spiral Mickey head Family Fun". It was adapted from the Family Fun magazine. Pre wash your shirts w/out fabric softener. You make a flour/water mixture the consistancy of mustard. Start with a cup of warm water and gradually mix in the flour to avoid lumps. Put it in a cake decorator or some kind of squirt bottle. Then make your design. Let dry overnight then spray with spray fabric paint. I prefer the pump spray as opposed to the aeresol because the aeresol tends to soak the fabric too much. Let the paint dry completley, then pick off the dried mixture. It's simple and fun. The thread has pictures. My pre trip report has some too, but it would take awhile to find them! Have fun!

Love your report! Can't wait to read the rest!

Welcome!

Well, I respoded earlier, but it's not here! Welcome back! I'm sure you had a wonderful time. I'm glad to hear you'll be doing a report! Now I won't have to bug you with questions! The shirts are very easy to make. Well, Hunter didn't throw up or scream hysterically so I call it a good experience! I'm just glad he didn't ask me to ride with him!

I'll have an update tommorrow. (Hopefully) I really want to be able to post my mom's pics, but I need the scanner. You really want to see my homemade window clings right?!

Of course we want to see your homemade window clings!!

 

[roxannensteve]

I am so jealous - your pics of Beauty & the Beast make even more disappointed that I missed it.

I love Hunter's scared pictures.

 

[hlrababy]

Awesome update!! I love your pictures~!

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

Of course, when you call me a "whack-o" you are saying that with love, right?

 

[snowbell]

Great update! I love the photopass pictures. I had some great ones at MGM as well. The CM's were very excited. I have the one with Stich too. They would not tell me before hand how it would come out.
Cannot wait to hear more...
