It's okay DM. You got my accent in the video I posted. Your going to love the next installment I like to call scarying the poop out of the nephew.

 

[SingingMom]

Yep - the "Doing Laundry" voice definitely has a "Southern exposure" to it!!

 

[mandy200587]

I could post a video from a concert where you can hear me but than you may need the psych ward after my awful singing. I make Britney Spears sound good.

 

[CourtneyandRyan]

Great update Mandy! Loved the video!!!! Keep posting--- Love it!

OKay so sorry I haven't posted the next installment. I'm going to have to try my best on this one. It's been almost a month now since this happened so please bare with me.


Today we make the trip to Animal Kingdom for a day full of scaring the nephew, about losing my temper, among the infamous getting soaked.

So we start our wonderful day off eating some breakfast at the hotel then it's off to AK. Not to long of a wait for a bus so score there. We arrive and we end up waiting fifteen minutes for my sister cause of the survey people. Don't know they were on a mission to get to EE? My gosh.

So finally we get going and I'm off ahead of everyone, we get to Asia wait it's time to find a bathroom so we find one then we're off on our way to EE. 20 minute wait not bad at all, hop in line and this is everyone's first time riding it but me. I wanted to ride front but there's no way I could do front with my whole family being in the same car. We sat second row. This is where it gets good. My nephew sat with me, I'm a thrill junkie when it comes to Disney. Well needless to say my mom, me and sister enjoyed it but my nephew was well scared. Ya'll can figure out the term I want to use there. Well we got off and I took off my waist pack it's easier to ride that way well the waistpack got caught on the netting. Oh joy, get that lose .

OKay so now we're off to Kali. All but my sister rides due to an ear problem so she sits off to the side and waits with everything. Well we were on the raft with two people who wore ponchos. Four people were from Ireland and they were wanting to get wet. Well guess who got soaked. My mom and I mean soaked. We packed up Saturday night and her stuff still wasn't dry!

Okay now we're off to Dinoland. Pass Nemo, to long of a line so we skip that. We're off to PW, we have no wait. Maybe 5 minutes at most. No one was in line for that. Finish up that ride while trying to get my balance back after getting off. It knocked me for a loop this year. Well brat wants to play the games and we say no. So we stand off and let him go on the dinosaur ride. Well he rides that, it's about 11 something now so we head to Dinosaur to find it's down. Darn, can't ya tell I'm so upset. Not! I hate this ride and the jerkiness.

So now we head to the quick service by Dinosaur. We can't get into 11:30, okay fine by us. We sit down and talk and we goof off. Well nephew gets mad and goes away from us. We head inside after getting him and sit down to eat. We finish up well Dinosaur had opened back up and well none of us really want to do it and well guess what happens he gets mad again.

Well after we take a quick break we head over toward the exit of Dinoland. Well nephew wants to go on it and I'm ready to go on and do other stuff. I'm getting annoyed at this point. Well sister says come on and we go on and take some pictures along the way. We had one in front of the Tree of Life but it's on photopass and we don't have those pictures. Next we see Stitch. The first character we've been able to wait in line for so I'm all game.

Okay so now we're heading to Camp Mickey Minnie where we're meeting up with. Well we get in and head to Festival of the Lion King. I would post pictures but they are horrible quality. Left there and now we're off to Safari. It's about 1 or 2 in the afternoon now.

Okay we got off the ride, thank god. THey had all five of us in one row. Not smart idea, very uncomfortable. Okay finished up there and now we headed to do some shopping. Heat's getting to me and my sister. We're ready to go back. We said the others could stay but mom and sil decide to come back with us. No bugs life, darn another one I don't like.We headed back to the hotel and relaxed.

That's all for about now.

Last year, Bob was DRENCHED beyond belief! This year, it wasn't quite as bad. lol

I mentioned it before - but when Dana & Bob were riding EE, as they were ascending that steep part, he heard this little voice say, "oh, crud". Afterwards, she said she "LOVED IT!" I, of course, was off getting FP for the safari and bumping into COURTNEY and RYAN! I was a very good stalker!!!

Great TR, Mandy enjoying reading it and looking at the pictures.

 

[mandy200587]

I haven't forgot about guys I promise. Things have been a bit crazy to say the least. I'll have this finished soon. I start school on the 27th so I'll have it done by then. I just need to recover from paying for tuition.

 

[mandy200587]

OKay I'm updating finally. Please bare with me it may take a while to remember everything. This day there's also a shortage in pictures. I will give you two options for the last post. I can end it at the airport in Nashville or I can go on about the concert I attended that night, it's up to ya'll. I won't have many pictures either way but I will try.

But on with the story:

It's Saturday morning, our last full day in Disney World. What are we doing, we're going to SWW. I think I must have insane written on my forehead cause my nephew wants autographs and I didn't even want to go to the park. I could think of other places I could go. MK anyone? Okay so we get up,we got a bit of a late start so we're off to Kona for breakfast. Got some yummy pancakes. By the end of this trip I'm sick of pancakes. I love the Mickey waffles but sick of pancakes.

So we finished eating and head to catch the bus to MGM. It's a miracle, no hour wait today for the bus. So we're off to MGM, it's about 10 or so by the time we get there. We get there, can't do the autographs, gosh darn it. Well next we're off to the ride. My SIL sits it out, after it making her sick the last time. Well we get in line, and one of my biggest pet peeves at DIsney for some reason when people stop to gawk as the line is moving and there becomes a gap. Pay attention people. Did I mention I'm already cranky at this point? So we rode the ride, good gosh it was jerkier this time. So we got off, and the store is packed. Well from there I went outside with mom and sister to wait. Well mom says to go on, because at this point I'm losing my patience and there's no breeze in that area.

We walk over to the area where they use to sell the Grey's merchandise last year because I wanted a Grey's Anatomy tshirt so bad and well of course there's no Grey's stuff it's all Lost. Okay so we walk back and get something to drink and watch the characters come out from Cars and Power Rangers. The rest of them finally meet up with us and we let him get some pictures with the Power Rangers and that. Well from there we start walking. He wants to do Backlot Tour, wait is at least 30 minutes and it's out into the sun no thank you!

Well I have to stop and take this picture on the way down Mickey Avenue.

and this picture for my sister:

Well we can't figure out what to eat and by this time we've walked back to where the main area is and finally decide on ABC Commisary. Well I end up getting a kids meal. We all agreed that next year this place is a big fat NO. So we finished eating, all while during lunch I'm looking at the tv and drooling anytime I see Grey's.

Well we do the Movie Ride sometime before Lunch or after it. I don't remember. He wanted to RNR but we said no because him and a 45 minute wait,nuh uh would of slugged him. Plus sis isn't feeling well again so we head back to the hotel to freshen up and relax before dinner and let him swim.

Well we have dinner that night at Park Fare. When we got there, we saw two Disney brides. One had a beautiful dress and the other one I didn't like as much. Well we shopped around and killed some time then we headed down and got seated for dinner. The dinner was okay, I prefer the breakfast.

Here are some pictures from dinner:

My nephew got mad at me of course was we all were picking on him about having Cinderella kiss him. He didn't like that, oh but I loved it. I'm an evil aunt I know I am. Well we finished up dinner and now I'm looking for a purse that's the big item I wanted this year. It's the blue comic purse that I was looking for. Ended up at BVC at Contemporary to get it. We did a bit of shopping and now it's back to the hotel to pack up and relax for the night. Vacation was almost over, I was glad but sad at the same time.

Next: the flight!

 

[castawaymam]

mandy sorry you had such a rotten day at MGM. And we love picking on Ryan(DS) when Snow White kissed him back in 02, told him this past June when we were there that if he didn't behave inline as we were waiting in the Hall of Fame that I was going to have Snow White kiss again this year.
The pictures look great, glad that you found the purse you wanted.

 

[Disneyolic]

What a big meany grump you are... I love the picture of McDreamy....oh and the rest of the cast, whatever. But I love me some Captain Jack!!!

Let's hear about your flight back. I know it's a bummer but you have to tell us about it.
