Excuse me, you'll need to see security. What has Mickeystoontown done? Update 3/25x2

I love the Monster's Inc Laugh Floor! Yay for Jesse and Hunter getting to be in the show!!

 

[KatMark]

Although I'm not a big fan of the Laugh Comedy, I'm glad you guys got in there and Hunter's joke was picked. And even better that Jesse was part of the show. He sure was getting the "full treatment" of pixie dust and the magic of DW!

 

[ronnmel]

I didn't know there were specific spots to sit at in the Laugh Floor to get on camera! Where are those spots?

 

[Caretames1]

You are the bravest lady EVER! Funniest too! Nice picture!

I knew John couldn't stay away from Roz! She quite the sexy one.

I need to hit you up for some info on driving directions home from Pigeon Forge. We may be going up for Thanksgiving but I sure as heck don't want to get stuck in traffic like we did last year. Remember that 17 hour drive from HE** that should have taken us 10 hours?

I have to admit that I'd much rather be looking at crazy pictures of myself than listening to the political debates. They can be so frustrating. The debates...not my pictures.

I think Keith is wanting to head back for Thanksgiving as well!! I need to get some reservations made! I will PM directions plus a scenic route we really like if you have the desire! Those political debates annoy me to no end. I keep "yelling" at the tv to "BE NICE"!!!

I love Monster's Inc and hooray for Jesse getting chosen even if he wasn't "that guy"!!! Ohana!!!! Two weeks from last night we will be there!!!

 

[shan23877]

So glad to hear that Monsters Inc was a success! I really love that show.

Too bad there wasn't an Ohana ressie available for all of you, but Kona sounds like a nice compromise for Lacey and Jesse. Can't wait to hear about it!

 

[Millie12591]

Jesse sure is getting some magic this trip!!

Sounds like y'all are having such a great time.

Monsters Inc., Laugh Floor, huh? Never been, I think the rest of my family has, but I haven't. How did that happen?!?

Can't wait to see what y'all think of Kona, it's one of my favs.

 

[Kathy Jetson]

It looks like you were having a lot of luck with your wait times. Even getting a good spot in the rain for the parade.

John looks so happy talking to Tiana! We have never gotten her. Her line was always to long when we came across her.

OK you cheered me up with your BTM pictures too. The one with the straps wrapped around it looks like your in pain!

That's great Jesse got picked to be part of Monsters Inc. For some reason we skipped it the 2 previous trips but we caught it this time. I forgot how much I liked it.

Can't wait to see what happens next!

Hi,
I work third shift and just spent the majority reading about your trip. It sounds like you guys had a fun time. I'm sorry the cruise wasn't all you wanted it t be. I have been debating taking one with my family.
I'm sorry about the passing of your aunts as well. I agree with you about funerals, isn't it funny how many people show up for those? Half the time the family has never seen some of the people before.
I can't wait to read more.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

It just sounds so funny when you say "we retrieved Jesus from the locker".

 

[Woth2982]

How fun Jesse got to be on the screen a few times and Hunters joke got picked! My friend has the system down pat so well she always has her joke picked. The more Disney you make your joke the more likely it is to be chosen. Sounds like Jesse had a great first day at the Magic Kingdom! He must have been sold on Disney after that first day with you all!

 

[francis6306]

I enjoyed the Laugh floor. It's one of those things that is really fun for kids!

Boo to the O'Hana not having a ressie for 5! We haven't done Kona or O'Hana yet. One day… ONE day!

 

[lovethattink]

That's awesome that Jesse got picked and Hunter's joke was used!! What a special experience!

That is one of my son's favorite attractions. I always hope they put us in the front, because he laughs so hard and loud I feel sorry for the people in front of us. But at the same time it's great to see how much he gets immersed in the show.

We stayed at the Alligator Bayou one year and the "we live there" feeling was strong, especially with DH. Not that we live in an actual Bayou, but Lower Alabama has some of the same feel, and we're just as close to Louisianna as we are to Disney (closer actually) so . . .as nicely themed as it is, it was to familiar.

But it is smaller for Mama. That being mentioned, my Mom, who was 77 when she went with us, loved CBR. And for the most part, kept up in the parks, though she always took a mid-day break, while the rest of us were still in the parks.

Always good to see a newbie have a great time.

 

[Caretames1]

Also forgot to say I hope you get to stay at POR. I LOVE it there!!

Yay. I am so happy Jesse got to be on the big screen. It sounds like he is really having a good time on his first day.

Hi Lisa!

It has a been a couple of long, busy weeks and I got behind on your TR, but I had fun catching up this morning!!!

Thanks for your description of the Family Guy episode. My boys watch it WAY.TOO.MUCH, I'll have to ask them to let me know when this one airs. The Simpsons also has an episode that parodies Disney and whenever my family watches it we say "How does this show not get sued?"

Good parade pictures! In some of the parade shots it doesn't look too rainy, but you can actually see the rain drops on Brer Fox's face.

The pictures of John and Tiana are priceless! I hear that she is the perfect princess full of Southern hospitality.

Thank you so much for sharing ALL your pictures of BTM, at your expense, but for our amusement.



It has been a long time since we have gone into the Laugh Floor. How did people submit jokes before everyone had cell phones? Did you write them down on a slip of paper? I seem to remember that. That is awesome that Hunter's joke got picked and Jesse was featured on screen.

Finally- that Big Thunder Mountain poster is awesome. That is my favorite ride in MK, and I think I need to snap a photo of that sign myself next time I am there.

 

[Self_resqing_princz]

So- this is the first TR of yours that I've read... this is also the first time I've commented because I started so late! A few things-
Your daughter & son in law remind me of me and my husband... except I was the one who hadn't really experienced the Disney magic until I went with his family in 06.
Also, I'm SUPER sorry your cruise didn't go so well. We chose to go on a Royal Caribbean cruise for our honeymoon and we stopped at Nassau and did a "pirate tour"... we went to the Queen's staircase, a pirate museum and the forts at the top of the hill- I would almost guarantee we went to the same fort you did.. but we also went to Fort Charolette... the only reason I remember that is because I have the pamphlet from it in our honeymoon collage.
You should try a different cruise line-- honestly, there are rude people everywhere you go... but if you go on a different cruise line, they will generally be either couples or older people (they say cruises are mainly for honeymooers and retireees and that was 80% of the population on our RC cruise). Maybe try a different cruise line-- I'm sorry to say that, but with less kids on the boat, the atmosphere is probably a lot different.
Also, I love that you got/get to experience Disney through the eyes of a "newbie" it's always more magical that way!
Love all the pictures! Can't wait to read more!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I've been gone (to WDW!) for the week so I had to go back and read about 7 pages!
I also LOL'd at your Hannibal picture and the comment about retrieving Jesus from the locker!

I love that John had to meet Tiana! My DH would probably go for Jasmine! I remember at the princess breakfasts we've had, all the men seemed happy to see her and watched her make her way around the room!

 

[TeresaNJ]

All caught up again! I love the pics of your hubby with Tiana! They are priceless. I have to admit, your Hannibal pic is pretty funny! I admire your courage in posting it! LOL! You are a good sport, and your family seems like a great group to go to Disney with.
