"Do You Mind?" - Disney Adventures with Teens August Trip Report

[swwake]

I think we should make custom tshirts and wear them in August. The logo could be a giant pineapple with a straw.

Great idea! Let's work on that!

I want to see pictures of that. Before the Lapus and after!

As you may have noticed, I have recently become quite competent at using my new camera. So believe me, as long as one of us is able to use our index finger, there will be pictures...

 

[Native NYer]

Congrats on your diet!!!!!

Katie's room looks great. I love it. The tourquois is a great color.

I'm still looking for the stroller cup holder large enough to hold my pineapple

I will be on the lookout for that on my shopping expeditions. As a matter of fact, I think I might have seen one today at the Disney Store outlet (yes, I did go there). Just kidding, didn't see a lapu-lapu holder. Maybe we can make one of those old school beer helmet things? Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?

If no one can use their index fingers, then the bartender will have to

I better up my work outs at the gym. I want to be able to carry two pineapples on my head.

Thanks so much! She calls it "Valero Teal". Not sure if they have Valero stations outside of Texas, but their signs and roofs are all that color. When we first painted the room, the teal was too light for her. We said "what do you want?" and she kept saying "I want Valero teal." So we went to Home Depot and got a ton of paint chips and took them to Valero to match them. Then we repainted two coats on 4 of her 5 walls. You saw what happened to the 5th wall. I can't believe how many coats of paint are on the walls of her room.

Ok, maybe she IS spoiled...

Nothing wrong with being spoiled

Jen, why does everything you say echo double entendres? You keep me laughing!!

thank you thank you! It was hard work (well the paint and the curtains, but she hung all the teenage crap on the walls)

hmmmm Good to know!

I didn't realize it until I reread the index finger comment.

That's why I'm glad we hired someone to paint our house. The pink in Daisy's room might have killed me!

We are going to be quite entertaining at Tambu Lounge. We should charge a cover.

Oh, we really enjoyed it. It was just one room. or maybe two, or was it three? Let's see, media room painted three times, wine cellar painted twice...

Here's something for you, Jennifer...

I'd like to see you wearing that around MK....

I just hope I make it back to my room. I don't want to get on the monorail by mistake and end up making the loop over and over again.

That picture is hilarious. I would wear it. If I drank my happy juice all day in the MK, I wouldn't care about lines or crowds. I wonder if I'd get strange looks

 

[Grandma Bonnie]

I love mint juleps

The first mint julep I ever drank was at the Kentucky Derby. Isn't that where everyone should drink their first?

I hope your dentist fixes that bill.

I'll let you know after I see him tomorrow morning.

I think they would ask you where you got it. And you would have to say "swwake gave it to me as a give. You will have to go find her to get one" and nobody would be able to find me b/c I don't plan to wear my LGMH (sorry)

I think it would be fun to have a few lapu lapus and then ride the monorail around in circles all night.

I actually don't have any LGMH. And if I wore them, my family would have me committed.

We might get dizzy on the monorail

I can't remember, but do you have any ADRs at the Poly?

We have 'Ohana on...let's see....Thursday, the 14th at 7pm

But I think we could make it to 'Ohana almost any day/evening. Most of our dinner reservations are at 7pm. Some might be canceled. The only two that are different are CG the 11th at 7:40pm and Brown Derby/Fantasmic the 12th at 4:30 (ridiculous, huh?), oh and Raglan Rd at 8pm on the 13th after LaNouba. Anyway, we can pretty much do Tambu daily!

Hey I'm watching Psych right now and Shawn just brought a pineapple over to the neighbors as a house warming present.

 

[Grandma Bonnie]

Grandma Bonnie,

Thanks for the recommendations for testing! Ours starts next Tuesday ! I am totally using the peppermints and pencils! I can't do the music because that would result in a testing irregularity!

You're the best!

Happy to help. Music IS an irregularity if it's something you don't do on a regular basis. I always encouraged my teachers to play it all year long.

ANOTHER HISTORY LESSON:When I was in my first two years of teaching (3rd grade), I played Beatles music for morning exercises. We did jumping jacks to I Want To Hold Your Hand. And I had parents complaining because "Those Beatles are Heathens with long hair." Well, look who's laughing now!!!!
