[Shelby5514]

Wow! that must be some meeting! We're ready when you are!

 

[bostonchowdah]

Sorry guys...got really busy after the meeting...and between traveling for the holidays and work...I found no time to sit down and finish my post....but rest assure, it will be completed...

....
We grabbed Fast Passes for Space and headed over to Buzz. It was a short wait...maybe only like 10 or so minutes...and we took our positions in the the little pod cars. If we got a score above 250,000 we would get extra points in the challenge...so that score was our goal. Unfortunately...with strudle driving the car...we barely broke 10,000 (combined)! Every time I would line up for a shot...her hand would jerk that little joystick around...and I would end up shooting Munch and Coco behind us. Its a good thing those lasers aren't that powerful...or they would have gone blind! Even though we had that little mishap...we decided to try again, and Munch shot some random thing on the wall that gave her 500,000....mission complete. After exiting Buzz...we headed over to Space. Our FPs allowed for a short wait...and we video taped ourselves sitting in the cars before the ride began. I had "heard" horror stories about falling video cameras from this ride injuring other passengers....so I promptly stored my video camera...not because I was affraid it would hit somebody...but because if it did fall...we would lose our tape for the challenge! SO NOT COOL!

*Ride an attraction in every "land"*
After Space...we headed over to Fantasy land...and grabbed a quick bite to eat. Sitting at the window...we noticed a group of men casually sitting on some benches eating. What's this? Could this be the other team...in deed it was...

*Find the other team*
If we found the other team and filmed them...that ment major bonus points. We sat there and filmed for a good two minutes...and I think others there began to look at us funny. Let me just say that stalking is wicked fun...and while the police department may frown upon it... I suggest everyone at least try it once. To make our latest discovery more entertaining....we decided to call the guys..and make it known that someone's watching. We knew there was no way that they would big up the phone if they saw our names on the caller ID...so we did some special thing that allows your number to show up as "private" or "unknown caller"...we hoped that they would pick up the phone. We felt it best to call Murph...the team captain...

Murph- Hello?
Munch- Hey its me...
Murph- What do you want....
Munch- Do you think that girl in the pink that just walked by is pretty cute?
(Murph is now looking back at the girl in the pink that just walked by him)
Munch- I think that guy in the hat looks pretty funny huh? Over there on that bench...right across from you?
(Murph sees the guy on the bench...signals over to the other guys)
Munch- I can't believe your eating ice cream...aren't you cold enough in those shorts and flip flops? It's pretty chilly out...don't you think? (hangs up the phone)

After we hung up the phone...we broke into laughter. We watched as Murph broke the news to the guys that they had been "caught". The guys looked confused...and it appeared as if no one believed murph...and so another phone call was placed...

Matt- This is Matt... (He has to answer his phone that was in case its one of his business related people...its very cute...and since the called showed us as unknown caller...he couldn't risk sounding "unproffesional")
Me- Can you buy me and Ice cream...
Matt- What? No....what are you talking about
Me- Your standing right next to the ice cream guy...I want that Mickey Ear one...oh...and you look very cute today with your hat and sunglasses...(hangs up phone)

Right away the guys go into panic mode...it became obvious that they knew this wasn't a joke....that we really could see them. They frantically combed the area looking for us...and with no success...headed towards the park exit.

It was then back off to Fantasyland, where we rode Pooh...then off to Fronteerland (I dunno how to spell that one)...where we rode Splash...then over to Adventureland where we rode the boat ride...which by the was is a rather fun ride...and by the time this was all completed it was close to 1:30....maybe even 2...and we felt it best to head over to MGM.

Upon arrival...we headed over to the Sci-fi for a late lunch...
Soon after that we took a seat for the parade
*Film one of Disney's theme park parades*
We grapped a Mickey Ear Ice Cream and took a seat along the street. Sitting there we looked at the tape we had just filmed and soon the parade came and went...and we headed over to the attractions.

*Ride two e-ride attractions*
Lines were short for both, and we didn't even bother getting Fast Passes.
We completed both within a short time span, and exited the park. We decided to take a boat to the Boardwalk.

We got pictures with Resort CMs for the Boardwalk, Boardwalk villas, Yacht & Beach club, and the beach club villas...and we then entered into Epcot.

*Time Out* Have to go coach...but I promise to finish these sooner then I have!

Gosh, this is the first trip report I have ever read and it's hilarious, I hope she comes back, it's way past April 11th. Today is April 28th (I think) and we are off to Disney tomorrow for a measley 5-6 days (compared to Chowdah). What a crazy group!

Gosh, I hope she comes back.

I can't change the Official Title of the thread...so I guess its gunna say 3/26 update form now on!

PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!
PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!​

I know that it has been weeks since I have replied to this thread... and I know a lot of people were reading and intrested in it. But to be honest...writing about my past trip...was making me rather depressed and I went into post-disney depression big time. I missed simple things like the plates and CMs...even certain smells and sounds....and writing about them...made me miss them even more. The worst part about it was the fact that it was officially over...and I wasn't sure when I would be returning. Home alone, I sat one night looking at all the videos and picutres...practically in tears...reliving every moment of our trip...which in turn made me even sadder. I got into a slump...one I just couldn't shake! Matt caught on when I wan't even interested in making wedding plans (you know I guy gets desperate when he asks about his own wedding plans)
I talked about my "issues" with Strudle during the Desperate Hosuewifes commercials...and she too felt the same way. We couldn't understand why we felt it...but we just had to accept it...kinda like the way they get peanut butter and jelly int eh same jar with out blending together...you don't know how they do it...but you just accept it. So me and Studle did what any girl does...we stuffed our faces with Ben and Jerry's ice cream... and went shopping the next day. Even that didn't seem to work though...
All I had on my mind was Disney...and nothing else...it was like an obsession times a million. I searched sites for pictures and videos...and finally made a decision...I needed to go back! I discussed the situation with strudle and she felt that it was a good solution. I knew Matt was "disneyed-out" and the last thing on his mind was to go back again. I think I misunderstood what a "Disney Vacation" really was. When you go tot Disney with me... its practically a Disney Death march...I like to be there early...get stuff done..and relax in the afternoon. That ment getting up at 8...as posted before...Matt wasn;t really feeling that. I think I may have potnenially scared his future disney vacations.
Soon after..I came up with an idea...what if we had a "girls only" weekend trip?! My finances wouldn't allow for anything longer than a 4-day weekend...but since we only had to pay for a room (we still had our APs)...we knew it would be cheap...plus the fact that we could drive down. So...we made a pact to go mid-june... just the 3 girls...and I began planning ASAP. It's pretty easy to plan when you have limited finances...so it was simple. I was affraid to tell Matt...but we requested the days off...and said that we wanted to have a gilrs only weekend.
None the Less...the point of my story was the fact that planning for this next trip helped get me out of the slump...it sorta filled the void that my last trip had left. So...what does this mean to you guys...I finally feel comfrotable sitting at the computer again and writing about my last trip.....because now...not only can I enjoy the the memories of it...but I can think of the new ones that will come with this next trip!

I hope to have another post later this evening....if not then, then first thing tomorrow.
