Everybody's got a Laughing Place...ours was our Disneymoon!8-26-Day 3 Complete! Pg13

Aww hey girl!!! Sounds awesome..

what did your husband get(job wise) thats sooo AWESOME you dont even know! i'm waiting ever so patiently on a phone call from a job I had an interview on Weds. 7/29/09 .. the interview was 1 hr and sounded so promising etc. then on Mon. 8/3/09 one of my references were called and emailed me--ever since then the interview person fell off the face of the earth:sad1: i'm affraid i dont have the job now.. so heres the deal he also said at our interview he would be calling early next week.. well its now Saturday 8/8 of that week and no call.. so I kindly called him late Thurs. 8/6 and kindly said i'm following up from the interview and that i was serious and interested and asked for a call OR email, i gave him many options haha.. to contact me.. and nope no return call.. not sure if thats good or not!? maybe hes waiting to call me beginning of THIS week now? and that he was waiting for my background check to come back?? ahh i hope so i really want and need this job SO BAD!

what does your husband do currently?
I know your a teacher and thats sooo awesome girl:)

I'm just about to read your DAY 2..
hope your weekend is good as well.. unfortunately heres one of the reasons im trying to leave this job(ONE of the reasons) lol.. i work EVERY weekend.. no rotation! every FRI SAT SUN! its ridculous.. i dont get paid more for that or anything. its horrible!!!!! life is to short to have job you dont like .. you dont have to LOVE your job.. but enjoy waking up and going there..

i can tell you there is NOTHIGN i like about this job.. not one thing!!!

other than that.. I enjoy reading your thread cant wait for more:woohoo:

I'll answer since vin is trying hard to fish out the 2x4 piece of wood from the drain:rotfl:

He currently works at the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn, Catholic Newspaper- the Tablet and their website. But, it seems as though he has finally gotten into the Electrical Union! Something he's wanted for years and he got his wish before he's 30...so thats pretty awesome.

It starts off slow and a pain (five years of apprenticeship) but, we're young so who cares!:cool1: As long as he's happy..

Now if we can get the wood of of this pipe that would be another story...

good luck with that job hun. They have done the same with vin, interviews and "We'll call" and then never getting back to him. The waiting game is so terrible I wish sometimes they would just be honest and not give false hope lol....

Ill say a little prayer:hug:
 
I finally all caught up.

I often wonder about the 7th floor at the WL. Only stayed at 4th & 5th floor. Now that I kinda know the layout, not sure I would want to try the club level room. The TV noise would've sent me off the edge.

So I finally get to see the infamous secret Disney Crocs you mentioned in my TR. It's not too bad. My DW has a pair of red ones and I still haven't wear my Disney Crocs flip-flop yet.

WCC is an awesome restaurant. Do you try their milkshake? It's the best in the whole WDW.

Very cool firework experience. :thumbsup2 If I was that close, my camera would've gone over drive.

Good luck with Vin's new job opportunity.

A 2x4 lodged into a pipe that clog the drainage. That sound like a fascinating story behind it. :rolleyes1
 
I just caught up on day 2...I'm loving it...but note to self...No rooms by TVs...What was Disney thinking with this one! I hope you get some sleep during your honeymoon!!!

Vin-I think its adorable how you wanted to get her a pearl...made me pull out the one I got last time we were in Epcot. It's an 8mm pink pearl ring...the only problem is that it is 3 sizes too big...WHOOPS! I didn't take into account the swelling in my fingers! I haven't had it sized since 2006...So, guess what is on the agenda this week!
(and I want to make sure DF doesn't say I can't do it again-I loved the experience! :rotfl:)

Glad to hear Vin got into the union. That is awesome! :thumbsup2

Can;t wait to hear more!

Aww thank you so much! :hug: Yeah, I completely understand people are busy-but pleaseee if you say you are going to call and give me every notion I have the job especially after a 1 hour interview then please give me the call haha. I even did a follow-up call that was ignored.. thats not good :guilty: so yeah its tough out there, especially in these times you know! Well i'm SOO happy for your husband(I keep forgetting hes on now) so congrats Vinnie:thumbsup2That is one of the best feelings in the world to get something you have longed for and something that you want to do!!

Can't wait to read more guys!!! :earboy2:
 

all caught up

congrats on the wedding

to a disneymoon

and vins job :D very cool

sorry about the noise though I would have been a right well lets just say not nice if some one kicked my door im not a morning person any way lol i hope the rest of the trip was good

cant wait for more i hope you two are squeezin in some rest when you can
 
That’s so great that Vinny has the job he’s always wanted. I always wanted to be an interior designer or to work in the music industry (I had work experience at Sony BMG record studios and got to meet a few famous faces but I loved the atmosphere of that workplace) and the interior designer phase has always been with me- but I just cant do the 7 years at university to do it. It’s a big achievement to get into a job that you have always wanted to do. Lately I have been thinking I would like to care for people (like old people), but family keep telling me I would become too attached to them and I would be hard for me when they go. Its something I might think about in the far future! So well done Vin! :thumbsup2

I would have lost it when the kids were screaming outside the door- I think there is nothing worse than being woken up on holiday by inconsiderate people (or kids for this instance!) did you have a honeymoon suite on your door? If I was one of those kids parents I would make sure they weren’t near anybody’s room- even if the kids play area was near someone’s door I would not let them play there- I would make them play in the room or take them outside (god knows what the parents were upto leaving them to run riot outside other peoples rooms!!!!) Some people don’t have any respect! (Like when we was on hols this year and those teenagers kept waking us up shouting and laughing at the top of their voices on the balcony at 3am in the morning!!)

It’s so horrible feeling tired on holiday – especially in a place like Disney where you need a heap of energy to keep you going for the day! And Disneymooners need LOTS of rest! ;) Hehe!!

Those pina coladas look yummy and refreshing! Its so sweet Vinny wanted to get you something from the Pearl Shop- but I agree with you Jenny; most of the bits in there are really pricey although last year I really wanted some pearl earrings but when we went there it would have cost $100+ (I cant remember the exact price but it was over $100!! to get the pearls fresh and get them set in earrings!!

Oh YAY for FOOD PORN PICS!! :banana: I loveee the watermelon in Orlando – it tastes SO different from the melon you get in the UK, in Orlando I always get fresh melon and it has sooo much taste but here in the UK they taste of nothing!

And yay for the hidden mickey- I can never find any- maybe it’s because im blind as a bat but everyone seems to spot them but me hehee!

Vinny- I bet you loved all the surprises Jenny got you- did you like the Crocs!!?? She is a good wife isn’t she!

So that’s a bummer with the piping in your kitchen- I hope it isn’t that bad that you have to have to disturb your kitchen!!

(hope youre feeling better Jen!:hug:)

Lol not too facinating. Vins father was trying to avoid leaves from going down the pipe and put the 2x4... when the big rain came- the wood went down instead of the leaves!:rotfl2:

We didnt have their milkshake unfortunately...vin and I both have a bit of a lactose problem:rolleyes1

But i vicariously watched the children drink it and boy did it look yummy!

I just caught up on day 2...I'm loving it...but note to self...No rooms by TVs...What was Disney thinking with this one! I hope you get some sleep during your honeymoon!!!

Can;t wait to hear more!

He was obsessing over it...the pearl) I wanted a ring but they didnt make sized smaller than 6 and im a 4 and a half. Grr. But you'll see what happens the following thursday:banana:
And trust me- day two's night gets very interesting...:cool1:

Aww thank you so much! :hug: Yeah, I completely understand people are busy-but pleaseee if you say you are going to call and give me every notion I have the job especially after a 1 hour interview then please give me the call haha.

Tomorrows the big day! The physical! Once he passes then hes in!

Maybe they were thinking that honeymooner's didn't sleep much anyway??? ;)

I think im going to try to get him to sit down tonight (Although its his late night) and work on the rest of day two with me...because its a dooseyy..

(hope youre feeling better Jen!:hug:)


He sure loved them all. Vin where are you? Dont pretend you're working im sure your on here!

Im feeling much better thanks now my allergies are acting up but I am okay!

I really still want to be a wedding planner so I know waht you mean. Its going to be hard to get into the field but I am sure I would be good at it. My wish-to work for disney!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh that would be a dream!
 
Hope the physical went well! :woohoo: And hope the issue with the piping is okay now...?


So come on you two newlyweds... where are you :confused3 we are waiting patiently for our next update on the tr! popcorn:: :surfweb:

hehe!!

oh and Jen- you should be a wedding planner (even though your a great teacher too) but imagine working for Disney.... wow! I always think what it would be like to be in the shoes of the wedding planners at Disney.. can you imagine getting a couple that didnt have a budget and wanted you to organise it all... oh that would be so fun! And..... that means you would get to live in Orlando!
 
Hey there! Your Disneymoon sounds... noisy lol! I hope it quieted down a bit from here on out. Your cruise looked awesome, such great pics, bet your glad Vin got you that awesome camera:goodvibes (Good choice btw) I am super pumped to hear all about this trip!

Oh, and for next time, you get 10% off at Basin with the AP:goodvibes I am truley addicted to that store, Dave loves the Mickey Ginger Ale soap too... who knew that my fiance would have a penchant for $5 soap lol!:rotfl2:
 
And off we went...

So, we had a ressie at Biergarten. And we really couldn’t wait. I wanted to get there early because Epcot is our favorite place to visit…

I knew going there that I couldn’t wait to get Vin to taste the Beverly in Club cool. Okay okay-before I’m labeled a bad wife- I never exactly told him I hated it- I only said “And theres this crazy drink… the Beverly from italy, you HAVE to try it” Yeah that was what I said…

So…off we went…

And… now for the “WAIT..HUH? YOU LIKE THAT??”

Um- maybe I’ll wait because I still can’t believe what I heard… Vin- you can explain my shock and amazement of the Beverly- and your taste buds…:confused3

So we walked around Epcot…:cool1:
PICT1411.jpg


So, that’s when I saw it! The Kim Possible game! :banana:
PICT1413.jpg


I am totally not going to ruin anyones fun by telling you all the “magical” things that happen in this game- but I will tell you- no matter your age- PLAY IT!
(Picture of me with phone)

Its all about going to one country at a time for a mission and finding these little secrets that are hidden throughout that country. We actually had Germany first- which is weird because we were eating there too!

So we closed the phone and off to Biergarten we went!
DSC_0259.jpg

Sorry- we got a little caught up with the entertainment
DSC_0277.jpg


DSC_0273.jpg


So we only have a picture of the food (Ill let vin post it)


As always this is my favorite place. We stayed there for long enough that we were able to actually watch the show twice! Awesome! Once they take out those bells I get really excited- I don’t understand how they play them!!!!:confused:

So- we were done and finished up the Kim possible game in England (PS- Definitely do England- I happen to think it’s the best!) and Vin got a beer from Rose and Crown (Guiness…yum-o!)

And we headed back…. And here’s where the “FUN” begins.

The TV was on again- And blasting. It was 9:40 so we could understand…

So Vin decided to call the “Disney Help Line” or whatever they called it and explained to them that we were hoping at least by ELEVEN the TV would be turned off…or at least lowered…by twelve…

And so… here we were… at 12:00 and the TV was still blasting. Were there any children outside? Nope. So why was it on?

So, Vin called again and explained to them the situation and kindly explained that he would like to know if this will be happening every night for the next eleven days…

That’s when I had it. Ten minutes later when the TV was still on- I said “LETS GO” and went downstairs.(This was around 1:20):scared1::scared1:

I was tired….an emotional wreck… and the boy at the counter- Peter I believe- was too kind…

Peter “Hi, how can I help you tonight?”
Me “We have a huge problem! Weve been waiting for the TV to be shut off.My husband (hehe got to use husband) called and explained that its directly next to our bed, and we don’t have the AC on because we don’t like the cold so we can hear it and cant sleep! We just got married Friday, and havn’t been able to sleep in TWO WEEKS and I want sleep”:sad1:

Peter: “ I am so so sorry maam”
Me- interrupting- “And this morning we got woken up at like 5am by kids banging on our door!”
Peter-“Well we certainly do not accept our visitors being unhappy. Let me go talk to my supervisor and get back to you”

That’s when Ibroke down. I felt so bad. I couldn’t stop crying. I never cry in public but I think I was so exhausted that I couldn’t handle much more. This was our honeymoon after all… I felt like we shouldn’t have had to complain you know?:guilty:

Peter came back and explained that we would be moving to the other side away from the TV tomorrow…. And I was so happy. :worship:

When we got upstairs we found out that they couldn’t find the remote and in turn had to unplug the TV..hmmm…


And then tomorrow starts…
“The Forever Wait of Lies…” and

“The Mad Dash to 1900 Park Fare!”
 
:thumbsup2Hi!

So, we headed into the Club Cool:cool1:- and I was unaware- because I was never there before, and I thought it was pretty interesting that we could try all those sodas. Jen kept tempting me to try the Beverly first. So, I got my cup- and I reached- and at first-

I said "Wow this tastes really good"

Jen’s reaction was “WAIT did you try the right one?” In turn taking a sip and saying “Blah that’s disgusting are you serious”

So then I tried it again and said “Its not the best tasting soda but- I liked the flavor. It kind of taste like licorice”
PICT1410.jpg


And then some kid came up to us out of the blue- pointed to the Beverly and said “Whatever you do don’t try that one!” lol

We went on to try all the others but I wasn’t too impressed by the others. But I must say that both Jen and I loved the Japanese one.

Biergarten-
DSC_0269.jpg


Out of all the places in Epcot, I still find Germany to be the most interesting and full of pleasure. It has the show/entertainment and I really enjoy that.
DSC_0257.jpg


When it comes to the food- I really enjoy it- It has to be one of the best places in Disney to have a dinner.
DSC_0282.jpg



My favorite item there has to be the sausages. But, I also enjoy the German Potroast. Their vegetables are always fresh as well and delicious. I recommend anyone to go there even if you’re a a vegetarian.
DSC_0270.jpg


The desserts are out of this world. The chocolate cake is amazing, the streudal is delicious. They also have a German cheese cake that is very light- and close to a terra misu type.

We had a small issue though when in Germany. As you know in Germany you are required to sit with other couples and share a dinner table with them. For some STRANGE reason, this one couple, no matter what did not want to sit with us! :confused3:confused3

They even spoke to the hostess to sit with someone else! They wanted to keep to themselves, and that’s fine, but they made it very uncomfortable for us! Oh well. We still had an amazing time!
DSC_0263.jpg


Then I was approached by someone from the Disboards(Such a sweetheart) who recognized my picture and was looking for Jen. That made our day !

Rose and Crown

While playing the game Kim Possible- we went to England to go to our next mission and I decided to get a guiness from Rose and Crown. To get the guiness took some time and I was wondering why but when I finally got it, in the foam was a shamrock! So awesome! I thought it was so cool!I wish I would have taken a picture of that!


Back at the Hotel...​
I was really getting tired of the situation (literally) My main feeling was that I figured since we stayed in Carribbean Beach- any problem we had was addressed and we love staying there.

I was surprised because it is a deluxe resort and everything took forever- even to get information.

I was really upset because I had called, over and over, and then spoken to the front desk. And nothing was done about the situation. Again just so disappointing that we took the extra step to have it corrected earlier and nothing was solved.

However- when you are finally speaking to someone who actually cares- Peter the CM- we finally got the room. It wasn’t fair though that it took jen crying on our honeymoon to resolve our issue.

Then we had to pack…again. So we had to re-pack our twelve days worth of clothes- that we just put away….which I thought was also annoying but what can you do?

And just when we thought it was over…the next day comes… lol:rotfl2:
 
Oh no! I don't like these little "wait for the next day" clues you both are hinting at! Can it possibly get worse???

Jenny, I would have totally cried too!

We ate in Germany for the first time this trip and we loved it! It will definitely be put in our pool of regulars from now on!

I saw so many families playing with that Kim Possible, just felt weird as an adult to get it but youv'e inspired me! Next time!

So glad you finally updated! I can't wait to hear more! :thumbsup2
 
HEY Jen! I'm back from my honeymoon and just caught up your report! I'm loving it so far! Sorry for all the difficulties. How did Vin's physical go? Is he good to go for the job? Can't wait to read more!!!

It doesnt really get much worse... well, in our mind...kind of funny....
But we'll explain I promise...

Kim possible rocked. I want to do it again and again! We enjoyed it. Trust me its definitely not looked at as non-adult! The guy who hooked ours up said "WOW ive never been part of a honeymoon before!" lol

HEY Jen! I'm back from my honeymoon and just caught up your report! I'm loving it so far! Sorry for all the difficulties. How did Vin's physical go? Is he good to go for the job? Can't wait to read more!!!

I was just looking at your pictures and I am drooling. I want the cake for myself to eat forever lol.

Vin's actually logging on so I'll let him update on his job!

ps-:banana:
 
I'm glad to hear that you weren't stuck with the annoying tv for the entire trip. The german restaurant sounds like it was a good time. Can't wait to read more.

Glad the room situation got sorted out :thumbsup2

My advice would be to buy it!
