Can't wait for the photopass update!

Hi! I just found your TR and spent the better part of the afternoon reading it (can you tell I am procrastinating getting work done?). Love it so far and I think that we may be related in another life!!

Glad you found me.

Yay for photopass!

Chel, I still cannot see the pretty big pink name you used to have in your signature line. Did you change it, or is it my browser?

The one with Megara? I took it off because it was so big, I couldn't see the numbers on my countdown ticker.

Good, I'm glad I am not going crazy.

"Take it from an old spectator. Life's not a spectator sport. If watchin' is all you're gonna do, then you're gonna watch your life go by without ya." -The Hunchback of Notre Dame

I limped over to where David and Aunt Pat were and re-counted my tale of pain and humiliation, which I'm sure reaffirmed Aunt Pat's decision to not partake in the wedgie slides. All three kids came flying down the slides about then and begged David to go back up with them, which he did. Aunt Pat went to sit and read her book and I was left alone hoping the throbbing pain would subside soon.

When the four of them slid down again and rejoined me, we decided to move on to the next thing, which turned out to be multi rider raft rides. Adam, Daisy and I got in one, David and Joey followed us in another. The rafts float along rather quickly, spinning in the current and go under multiple waterfalls, which much to Adam and my amusement all seemed to pour down on Daisy. This was rather a rough ride on an already tender area of my body, so I chose not to go on the one next to it, but David and the kids did. They were up and back down quickly and then we continued our walk around Typhoon Lagoon.

We entered the Crushin Gusher area and I sent David and the kids off to ride it without me. I was still feeling the affects of the atomic water enema and I wanted to just sit for a little while. Plus I had been thoroughly scared off of Crushin Gusher by DizneyDawn's misadventure on it.

On her pre-trip report "I'll pose for pics & sign autographs"

Now don't get me wrong, I laughed until tears were running down my face at her unfortunate experience, but I did not want to repeat it for myself.

The just sitting seemed to be helping as I no longer felt slightly sick to my stomache. After watching them all coming flying out laughing three or four times, I decided to join them. However I mandated that I would only ride with David. I don't know about anyone else, but when I go on rides with the kids I feel the need to protect them. On this ride I only wanted to think about saving myself not anyone else. Also I told David he had to sit in front, I felt safer that way.

We climbed to the top, my nervousness mounting with every step. I think if there had been a "chicken out" exit at the top I would have taken it. There wasn't however, so we chose the Pineapple Tunnel and all I could do was sit behind David and hope I survived.

The signal to go came and off we went. Wow! This ride was awesome! It was really like being on a water rollercoaster. I was immediately mad at myself for not trying it sooner. The end does tend to launch one or more of the riders off, which generally results in getting dunked underwater. David and I went once more, this time choosing the Banana Tunnel which I liked even better, it had an extra drop. Crushin Gusher was a lot of fun and gets a huge thumbs up from our family!

I know isn't that one of the best stories ever! I'm glad mine had a better ending too.

Your pics have convinced me that we have to go to Typhoon Lagoon in August.

sounds like TL turned out to be a good time after the wedgie.

that does look like fun.

 

[thewesterberg]

Can I just thank you for posting a link to Dizneydawn's TR??? I needed a good laugh tonight and that did it!

I'm amazed that you had the courage to give it a try after your "incident" and having knowledge of Dizneydawn's "INCIDENT"!

Well if you don't get to it, you are getting to the beach, which I'm so jealous of!

It did turn into a very nice time, after I recovered from the wedgie!

Aren't her stories great! That's why I was so scared at the top of Crushin Gusher, seriously I was shaking. It all turned out good though!

Oh I'm so happy! We have plans to visit TL in September because we haven't been for a couple of years. Now I can't wait - it looks like so much fun!

I'll just be sure to avoid wedgie-inducing slides...

That sounds like an awesome ride! Glad your trip down was much better than Dizneydawn's. I have her TR opened-I now MUST read it when I have a few minutes! I was cracking up at the single post!

I really want to try TL...my Aunt RAVES about it. It's her favorite spot.

Great pictures of the kids too!!! I joined a Photopass Share and am looking forward to those pics! In 2006 we only got about 15 pictures total taken of us-but I hear most people get TONS more. I don't know if we just didn't see them, or were in the wrong places, or what?

I have lurked on Buzz's TR, The Man Report, I can't keep up with it-moves too fast! I tried to make sense of what exactly happened, but am still confused. I know he commented on some thread, and someone didn't like what he said... I have no clue what thread, but I'm sad to see that his posts were deleted and his TR was locked down! I was really enjoying reading it.

We didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked, but a good amount. I was just disappointed I didn't get any Photopass pictures at AK, I couldn't ever find a photographer there. I was so glad when Daisy came off the water slide with the photopass card, which by the way only the water parks give you the cool wristband ones. I had put the camera in the locker and wouldn't have had any pictures of the water slides without photopass.

It's very sad! His wife Linnie has a trip report on the Disneyland board. It's
The Woman Report

She just finished up their Disneyland trip and it's a good read too!

Your super water enema reminds me of the first time I tried to water ski........let's just say it was a two for the price of one sort of deal. I got an enema along with something the reminded me of a "summer's eve".

I'm glad you got brave and tried the crushin gusher!
