"ENCHANTED TALES with ROB" - A Birthday/Christmas DISer Celebration! **NEW TR LINK**

[peachmermaid]

Yay for the great movie ride! It's in MAJOR need of some love but it's one of my faves. You just can't deny it. (Even though my husband would like to.) I'm very glad you got the cowboy scene! I don't know how the gangster scene is so much more common...

I love your ride photos! Best birthday ever indeed! Although that poor little girl & her brother in the front there. It looks like he's trying to meditate the horror that is ToT away.

Do not disrespect Stacey people! She is a disney girl who knows all & we must be respectful at all times! Come on now.

 

[emmysmommy]

That must have been a total oops to get the Cowboy scene. That never happens.

Gertie has smoke coming out of her nostrils??? I declare! I didn't know that. I need more powers of observation. Obviously.

I would hope that between being in WDW, having Stacey near to your heart and being on ToT that truly is a formula to = Best Birthday Ever!! At least the photo CMs could appreciate the sentiment.

Ahhh Wishes O Clock... I know where you'll be in a few hours.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Yeah - you got the Cowboy scene! Maybe the curse has been broken! .... Or evil Sophia stole the soul of the Gangster.

I just love how you take an interraction with ducks and your takeaway is a lesson for humanity - just appreciate your insightful eye

And no, just no, don't besmearch Stacey

 

[MEK]

You have your own Stacy T-shirt. I am impressed. I am sure she would appreciate being called an unofficial princess! My brother actually developed quite a crush on her last summer when his family went with us.

8 rides in a row on EE. Darn - that's pretty impressive. Love the ride photos. I was just editing my front row ride photos this evening and it looks like we have quite a few of the same ones.

Love your pictures of Pop waking up in the morning.

Cute duckies! I love the wildlife in WDW! Cowboy scene? Lucky! I just got it for the first time last trip and only because I asked. My guess is that it takes a while to reset after the fire so they do that one a lot less.
Hmmm not cool that the FP+ wasn't working for you. I never saw the dreaded blue light, we had such good luck! Hoping it gets better for you! Love that TOT ride photo, especially awesome that the cms deemed it their second favourite and gave you a print! Hmmm yeah giving Stacey and her "must dos" a whole new meaning is not cool guys, not in WDW. Wishes O'clock! I can't wait! Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

What a great afternoon at DHS!!

I have seen Osbourne lights in various stages-going up, lit, coming down. Trying to remember if I've ever seen DHS without "stuff" all over the buildings.

Loved your RNRC photo! But I was caught between thinking you were posed to blow a kiss or holding back from throwing up.

CMs not knowing who Stacy is? She's only on the TVs all day every day. I suppose there are CMs who go to work there just to have a job, not for their love of Disney.

Looking forward to your evening in the MK!

 

[JessM]

Great update Rob! You had me giggling thru the entire thing

Being the engineering dork that I am I think the Osborne lights are cool not lit up. You can see how they were all put together, very neat!

You had me worried there for a second the little ducks weren't going to come back, I'm glad they made it thought and you are right no one is exempt from queue lines at Disney!

SO HAPPY YOU FINALLY GOT THE COWBOY SCENE! And on your Birthday! Perfect!
I must be special because Cowboy scene privileges is all I have
I really think that once you get the Cowboy scene once you get it for the rest of your life, you just wait and see.

SO many CMs while I was there wondered why the light turns blue not red. I like your explanations, too funny!

I LOVE the TOT ride pic! I love the signs, what a great idea.
I also love the family in the front row, the little boy looks like he's praying or something, too cute.

The RNRC pic is too funny too. That little boy! Poor kid, but now I understand why Hanes is the ride sponsor.

I thought the same thing when I saw Sofia the first. In addition to her big head and creepy eyes, the way she was swaying around when I saw her was SUPER weird.

I can't wait to hear about the rest of your B-day!

 

[amazingact21]

I swear, this update had me laughing out loud. My poor husband had to listen as I read most of it to him, because I just had to share the humor.


I can't believe more people didn't recognize Stacey... I would think a good chunk of Cast Members are at least familiar with the name...


People who talk during shows are one of my pet peeves. Especially when it's a live show. But, what can you do...the joys of being around other guests in WDW.

 

[PopArtGal]

I love the great movie ride! After seeing the two scenarios I have to say I'm more of a gangster than a cowgirl.

 

[missangelalexis]

Aww those ducks are so cute!

How awesome that you got the cowboy scene!

Great ToT photo, and nice that you got the print too!

Sofia certainly does have a large head!

Can't wait to hear about the rest of your birthday!!

 

[khertz]

Okay, the ducks in the queue...I might have died from the cuteness had I actually witnessed such a thing! Disney ducks are the best.

Yay for the Cowboy sequence! I hope your cowboy was better than ours, though. I was so excited the first time I got it, and then she was a total dud. We have gotten the gangster ever since.

How awesome about the ride photo. That was so nice of them to give you a physical copy too, and to say it was their second favorite ride. Whatever guy proposed to his girl on ToT...

Unfortunately, she also told me that when they all quote the Must Dos, they tend to take it to a more "Adult" place.

"You're Gonna Get WETTTTTTTT"... "Yup, I BET you are."

I did not like her after that. DO NOT besmirch Stacey.

I apologize profusely, but this made me More your response than what she said, though!! I can just about imagine the look of disgust on your face after that conversation.

 

[JulieODC]

Aww, your first DISmeet story was so sweet! YAY!

Also, I am a nutritionist, and you should know that I totally approve of that cinnamon bun breakfast on your BIRTHDAY at DISNEY.

Great updates all around! DD is obsessed with Sofia the First -- she LOVED meeting her, but I wish she was a real person...the giant head is a little weird

 

[jstkpswimming]

Hi Rob! First time commenting - loving your TR so far!

As a former GMR CM, all I can say is that you must have been there on a fairly busy day! They only do the cowboy scene on busier days when more vehicles are necessary. If you ever see two vehicles waiting for you on the "loading dock," the first one will be the cowboy scene! If there's just one vehicle waiting, you're always going to get the gangster scene!

Looking forward to more updates!

 

[glennbo123]

Yo. Someday I'll get caught up!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

I've never really paid attention to the Osbourne Lights during the day, but they are one of my favorite things about the holidays at Disney World for sure!

Aww I love the little sweet duck family! It sounds like a human family with kids running off and the mama yelling for them to "get back over here right now!" Sounds like MY FAMILY!

Yay for getting the cowboy scene! I believe that I've had that scene... one time before? The gangster one is definitely more popular around these parts.

Awesome ToT ride photo!

So cool someone finally noticed your Stacey shirt!

 

[Tracy161]

Ahhhh, you got the cowboy scene?! And this, right on the heel's of Katt getting the cowboy scene! Sooooo jealous of you two!

Awww, the ducks are so cute and I laughd out loud on your comment about them having to queue up as well!

What?! I find it troubling... Nay, appalling that so few people commented on your shirt! What the heck?!?! Good thing we have fellow Disers we can count on to have it together!

 

[MEK]

Those ducks are adorable. I once watched a family of ducks (smaller than that) try to get in and out of the quiet pool at the Boardwalk. The last little duck could not get out and it really sent the mom into a tizzy. It was so heartwarming to watch.

What? CM's don't know about Stacy? There is something fundamentally wrong with that?

I love your Birthday Sign on ToT! You did deserve a hard copy photograph for that!

 

[scottny]

Hey congrats on the Cowboy scene. I have only seen it once.
There is that sign again on TOT. Very easy to pick you out. LOL
WHAT? No sign on RNRR? LOL
You saw a lot more of the park than I did.
Great update and pics.

 

[natebenma]

The daytime Osborne is not as magical as it is at night, but I still loved seeing the pictures. I'm not sure I have seen that basketball hoop before. That must have looked great at night.

Your duck pictures and story were adorable!

YOU GOT THE COWBOY!!!



We had that scene exactly once. Loved it!

Like Brenda, I didn't know Gertie smokes. Perhaps another explanation for the extinction of the dinosaurs?

ToT ride photos are the BEST and yours is certainly one of the best of the best. That is awesome (and totally deserved) that she gave you a freebie.

I LOL'ed over the adult Stacey comments. Sorry. You don't even want to know about what I am thinking for Summit Plummet.

 

[DaveinFallsChurch]

I tried the Great Movie Ride for the first time last October so I'm still pretty green to the attraction and am just starting to learn about the cowboy sequence. I didn't see it the last time. Or maybe I was too distracted by the gangster that was driving our trams as I was sitting right next to her and she was chatting things up.

I'm sort of curious what criteria Disney uses when deciding when to mask human characters vs. having face characters. So far it appears that all of Disney Jr. characters are masked (Jake, Doc, Einsteins, Sofia) which sort of makes sense because the characters are all very young kids in the show and I think our kids might be equally freaked out by a Jake played by a 20 year old man. But then again Peter Pan never grew up yet is played by a grown man. Sooooo confused. The only other example of masked human characters I can think of are Russell and Carl from Up. Oh, and Hook and Smee. Maybe there's no rhyme or reason.
