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

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

LOL at Hunter showing off his calf muscles!!

We haven't seen F! in FOREVER, I think it's high time we made the 18 mile long trek to the show!

 

[KatMark]

I am over Hunter trying to impress Michelle's girls.

We missed Fantasmic again this trip.

Therefore I really enjoyed seeing your pictures....you got some great ones.

 

[ronnmel]

I only like Fantasmic if I don't have to wait for it. Glad you got great seats!

 

[racefanof88]

LOVE all your pictures!!! Y'all are all a hot mess.............. I am so glad that y'all were able to take Jesse and Lacey, AND get Jesse infected with the Disney bug!!!! Poor man; he didn't have a chance and I'm sure he wasn't aware that there isn't a cure......... .

 

[shan23877]

Would you believe that we've managed to miss Fantasmic on every single trip? None of us has seen it! We've got to change that.

Love all of the family photos. It struck me how very happy Lacey looks.

 

[rndmr2]

I got caught up today and tonight with your last couple of updates, you really got some great pics of Fantasmic! I gave up on getting good pics of it until I get a better camera, I just sit back and enjoy. I think I might have taken one or 2 last time.

 

[MEK]

I haven't seen Fantasmic since 2008. I think maybe its time.

Yeah for RnR! Love that ride and the pre show is fun!

Love the group foot shot.

Oh and Hunter showing off his big old calf muscle! Too funny.

Your first picture in this update is soooooo pretty! Very nice!

 

[TinksThree]

Fantasmic is allusive to my family! I keep trying to plan it and it just doesn't happen! I keep saying "one day"! I saw pictures I have never seen before!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Caught up again!

You had me CRACKING UP at your Hannibal Lector picture on BTMRR! Oh, that was a good one! I post the good, the bad and the crazy too on my TR...as I'm sure you've noticed! LOL

I love that Hunter was trying to impress the girls. Too funny! And your next bit "the backsack is not a jockstrap!" YIKES! This should be good...

 

[mickeystoontown]

Hello! I hope that you all had a great weekend and are gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas! It was a pretty busy weekend around the McBride household as always thus no update or replies on the trip report. I hope to remedy that this afternoon and tomorrow.

Do any of you still have VCRs? If you do and have young children, shoot me a p.m. I have quite a few VHS movies that I would like to get rid of but I can't find anybody who still has a VCR. All you'd have to do is pay for the shipping costs....the tapes will be free!

 

[Kathy Jetson]

I've never ridden RNRC because I'm chicken. Are there stomach drops? I hate those and am to scared to try it.

We bought that R2D2 cup during Star Wars weekend. Ours came with a drink in it. Its sitting on my Disney shelf right now.

We love Fantasmic too. I can never get a good picture of it but that doesn't stop me from trying

You say you can't find anyone with a VCR? Not only do I have one but I have 2 and they both work! But I know what you mean I don't think I know anyone who has one anymore. Mine are both VCR DVD combos.

I bet you are itching to get on the road to see Lacey & Jesse!

 

[scottny]

All caught up.

Good times at DHS with the finale being Fantasmic.

The licking pic, eewww.

great pics. Looking forward to more. If I don't get back in time hope you all have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

Hey Lisa, Whew.....just got all caught up. I must say this...I love your trip reports! So entertaining! So pardon me if I missed this update but let me ask this? Where did you end up booking? Last thing I remember reading was your ticker said CSR but I thought your ticker now says CBR.....which one? My brother & sister in law just got back from an 8 night stay at CBR and loved it! That was their first time there! We stayed at POR last year for the first time & fell in love! Loved your Hannibal Lector picture!!! LOL I know what you mean about Sci Fin....food isn't really anything spectacular but the atmosphere makes up for it. Having dinner at Sci Fi has become a favorite family tradition for us! Oh well....thanks for all the updates! Safe travels to TN for Thanksgiving!

As of right now, we're back at the CBR. There's a large convention booked at the CSR and I could tell that Mama was a bit worried about the CSR and a convention and it wasn't worth the worry so we switched back. After we made the switch, Lacey admitted that Jesse had wanted to stay at the CBR again so that he could explore the resort a bit more than he had the chance to on the previous trip. Guess we'll give another moderate a shot sometime in the future.

I'm more than ready to hit the road tomorrow. I've been dropping hints to the boss about how long of a drive it is so that he'll take pity on me and let me leave early.

You can never tell what John is going to do but I didn't expect that big lick!

I hope that you and Vinny have a great Thanksgiving as well!

I'm a rollercoaster chicken too but I love RnRC. It's so fun and the loops and all are so quick that you don't realize you're even upside down.

We still have a VCR/DVD combo and it works but some of these movies are ones that I know Hunter would never ever pull out and watch again.

Caught up again!

I knew that the Hannibal Lector picture would get a few laughs and, if nothing else, make someone's day.

The backsack/jockstrap post comes about because of Jen and Skip.

Fantasmic is allusive to my family! I keep trying to plan it and it just doesn't happen! I keep saying "one day"! I saw pictures I have never seen before!

Are you kidding me? You've got to see Fantasmic!

Good gosh! You haven't seen Fantasmic in four years? It's time, Mary Ellen, it's time.

Hunter was certainly trying to impress the ladies with his muscular legs.

I got caught up today and tonight with your last couple of updates, you really got some great pics of Fantasmic! I gave up on getting good pics of it until I get a better camera, I just sit back and enjoy. I think I might have taken one or 2 last time.

A whole lot of my Fantasmic pictures came out looking like . I was just snapping away and watching at the same time.

Would you believe that we've managed to miss Fantasmic on every single trip? None of us has seen it! We've got to change that.

Love all of the family photos. It struck me how very happy Lacey looks.

All the more reason to get back to Disney!

Lacey and Jesse are really really happy and it makes me smile to see them that way. I love those two!

LOVE all your pictures!!! Y'all are all a hot mess.............. I am so glad that y'all were able to take Jesse and Lacey, AND get Jesse infected with the Disney bug!!!! Poor man; he didn't have a chance and I'm sure he wasn't aware that there isn't a cure......... .

Dana's in the House! Well, she was in the house and it takes me forever to respond. Oops!

Of course Jesse didn't stand a chance of not catching the Disney bug. It's one of the things that's mandatory when you marry into the McBride family.

I only like Fantasmic if I don't have to wait for it. Glad you got great seats!

Our seats were very good considering we didn't get there super early.

I am over Hunter trying to impress Michelle's girls.

He was trying to be Mr. Smooth!

Just think, you can work Fantasmic into the December plans which is coming up very very quickly, I might add.

LOL at Hunter showing off his calf muscles!!

We haven't seen F! in FOREVER, I think it's high time we made the 18 mile long trek to the show!

Hunter was doing his best to impress!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Love your family pictures! I love reading about how much silly fun your family has together.

Yay for RnRC and a DISmeet! Sorry about the hat hair, but it happens to the best of us.

I was sporting some MAJOR hat hair that day! I should have taken a picture anyway since it couldn't have been any worse than my Hannibal Lector picture.

You are going to Tennessee!!! How exciting...I know you must be to see Lacey and Jesse again! I have been trying to think of other routes as well in case we go. Last night I got three hotels to book last minute. I hate waiting last minute...as in two days prior! But once we know about Chris' schedule I can plan...or not.

My new job position just keeps me behind on these TRs so much! I was way, way back at lunch at ABC Commisory! We haven't been to Lights Motors Action in a while. Once we saw it a few times it was the same old thing and now it may be going away! However I think the Carsland additions could be great!

Yay for rides on ToT and RnR!!!! I love both of those rides soooo much!!! Licking of the face = HILARIOUS!!!!! Reminded me of something Keith would do! And we enjoy Sci-Fi so much! Keith always requests. You are right about the food not being awesome but it is good and the atmosphere more than makes up for it!! Ok...I think I am caught up now so I can get behind again!!

I hope that we run into each other in Tennessee! I never did say thanks for the driving directions p.m. I think that we may take the Nashville/Memphis/Little Rock way back. It says that it adds a little over an hour but the direct route traffic took an extra 7+ hours last year.

You got some really good Fantasmic! shots. I really love black and white Mickey

I liked Fantasmic!, but it's not going to be a every trip thing for me. I plan on skipping it this trip, unless something changes. It is very nicely done and I enjoy it, I just don't feel I need to see it every trip. I feel the same way about Illuminations, which I will do this trip since I skipped it in February, and I get priority viewing with the CP package anyway.

Thanks! I like that picture as well.

Love the pictures with the family. My family isn't much on pictures and usually at Disney it's just DH and me, so we get maybe one or two pictures. He usually has the camera, so there's more pictures of me than him. And there are more than a goodly amount of hat hair pictures.

We usually skip Fatasmic, but went this year and recorded the whole thing. It's a once-in-a-while show, usually when we have newbies.

John's getting better with the camera since the dawn of digital cameras. Back in the film days, I'd get the film developed and most pictures of me had my head cut off.

So I haven't commented on this TR yet (at least I don't think I have) but your Fantasmic photos pulled me from lurkdom! I haven't seen F! since 2004 so I think we are due this next trip! My kiddos have never seen it but your pictures have renewed my excitement for it! I forgot what an awesome show it was!

I love following your TR's, and really appreciate the honest thoughts you have about the cruise and your family is just precious, I feel like I know you. Thanks for sharing!

Sara

Welcome Sara! I'm glad to have you here!

Oh you definitely need to go to Fantasmic so the kids can see it. All of us love it!

Thanks so much for the compliment on the family! We love to travel together and be together especially at Disney.

 

[natebenma]

I've got some catchin' up to do!

What a fun post

When I read the title about licking her face, knowing you were going to the Sci Fi, it was obvious to me that someone was licking hot fudge from someone's face. Boy, was I wrong!

The Sci Fi is a must-do for my family. The first time we went we were late, or early or they couldn't find our reservation. Can't remember which. But they sat us at a table, not in a car. The last two times we have been, we actually requested the table.

I like all of those pictures you took of the windows in the Streets of America. We never slow down long enough to capture the details like that.

 

[natebenma]

Just read your last two updates

Never a dull moment with you guys! I love that you met up with Michelle and her lovely family. They seem like a lot of fun too!

for our hometown boys Aerosmith and RNR. They are one of the few bands that my son and I can listen to together without complaining.

Your pictures at Fantasmic really came out good!!! Really nice closeups on some of them and I agree about the B&W Steamboat Willie. Awesome shot!

Lisa, I hope you and your family have safe (and swift) travels and a blessed Thanksgiving with Lacey and Jesse. Hope you get a little early reprieve from work!

 

[PittypatBR]

Have a safe trip to and from Tennessee, and a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am glad you will all get to be together. Before you start out for home this time, get on someone's computer or smart phone and check out the road conditions. Hope your trip BOTH ways is fast and painless!
