Four Brits hit the world the TR! ***Finished***

[rentayenta]

Jo, you and your daughters are so darling! I loved Figment too. It's looks like he's playing with you hair. Maybe he had a crush.


WooHoo on the Dream Ears! I love the silver.


Can't wait to read more of this perfect balance of pics and word trip report!

More please Jo.I remember how exciteed I was when another Disser spotted me in line for Crushand of course we Focked. My lanyard was the trick ,her hubby was wearing hers and came over too!

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

Hi Jo! It's me, Michelle, trying out my new screen name! I wanted to change it before I start my new TR. Anyway, I love the pictures - the girls look great in their DIS wear! I really hope I can get my kids to wear their Focker lanyards! Oh, and don't worry about your eye! You can hardly tell. I have chronic sinusitis and my face usually blows up before each WDW vacation. I have learned to just go with it and not worry about how I look. Trust me, all you will remember is the fabulous vacation that you had. I'm so glad that you got your dream ears!!! WoW! I don't have a picture with Figment! I have to put that on our WDW To Do List. And your first DIS encounter! How cool! I'm sure there are many more to come!!!

Can't wait to read more!!!

This Yank is off to DW and will be hunting for some of the folks with the funny accents. Just love to hear them talk. Even obscenities sound classy when said with an English accent.

Other than America, England is my very favorite country. Hey, I sleep with an English tour book people!!! It is my goal to make friends with dozens of English friends who will each invite me over the pond for a week and I could spend an entire year touring the country and getting to know lots of people. (sneaky, are I not?)

Until then I will have to settle for my upcoming dinner at the R&C with hopes of seeing Illuminations from there.

english rose 47, I am putting a lanyard on my purse as well as one around my hubby's neck and my own in hopes of entrapping an unsuspecting fellow Diser.

I've had my laptop for about 2 years, and now when I go plug it into the "station" in the office, which has the mouse, keyboard, printer, external hard drive, etc. connected up, I can't type at all!

Jo, if you would just move all the junk to the back of your desk instead of on top of your keyboard you might have an easier time of it.

Yummm! Dessert for breakfast?
How fun to meet Zorylee! I'll have to quiz you later (once my trip is closer) as to what was worth watching and what wasn't in Epcot. I ordered a cool book about the countries and homeschooling through Epcot. Can't wait to read more.

It takes one to know one ya know??

Thank you

Hi computor is still messing up ! Haven't been able to connect for 2 days. Anyone know a computor whiz!!

I thought you were our computer whiz To post photo's Rosie you first need to load them into an account like photobucket, it's free you then use the image code!

WooHoo! You met the dream team,way to go! Was Elton there?

He wasn't it was just 2 men, I didn't care though as they gave me ears

I love that the girls got a sucker unicorn. It looks beautiful (even unfinished).

I told them to ask for a unicorn as apparently it's one of the best to ask for

What a great water picture! You captured just the exact moment that the water was coming straight for her!

Thanks, DH is the photographer and it took several attempts, I don't think Jess minded though as it meant she got wetter

Did you like the film?? I thought it was pretty good, but needed seats.

I did I was surprised at how much, but yeah I agree seats would be nice but they'd need to swivel

I would have probably eaten it on the way from Japan to China!

Noooo far to pretty to eat, last trips ones made it all the way back to England unharmed!

Did they like the pool? I thought it was pretty neat!

We did but actually prefered the quiet pool as we often had it to ourselves

Great update Jo!! I had never even heard of the candy lady!!

You must go see her Tara, her stall is by the entrance to the store in Japan!

Wow, Great day, but a long line for figment It has always been a walk-on for us So cool that you got meet figment, he wasn't out when we were there. Jimmy would haveloved to see him. I will have to add that to the must do list.

I know Janet who'd have thought Figment would have been that popular

That is awesome that you ran into Li, I kept my eyes open for DISers on my trip but did not see a single one. Oh well, hopefully next time!

It really helps if you know who you're looking for as there are just so many people, good luck for next time

That Belle has to be one of the prettiest ones I have seen. Was she at Akerhaus??

She was, and I agree she is pretty

Your girls are soo cute, they look just like you

Awwww thanks T that's so sweet of you.

Sorry to hear your unicorn was injured, I dont understand people, why would she step on your bag

What the heck??? Why???

I know, in the movie there were long wooden bars seperating all the rows and her party were in front of us and for some reason she ducked under and came into our row and stood on the bag (it was quite dark) there was no apology or anything, it was so weird that she would change rows

Now, that is looking at the bright side!

I don't think I was thinking that when she did it though

 

[DisneyJo]

The candy lady in China... I thought that was one of the neatest things we did the entire trip.

She's so clever isn't she and a great entertainer too

How funny is that? I truly don't think my family gets it and how fantastic a Disney Dream really is! I with you there, Jo. I totally get it!

The girls liked them and David did wear them for quite a while so he must have listened when I said they were special

Cute pic, but tell me where in the world is the Figment meet?

I'll try and explain, from the outside of the building behind the jumping fountains you have the exit to HISTA well to the right of that is another door and it's in there

Oh no! Our candy animal met a similar fate.

Shhhhh don't give stuff away

You mean David wasn't excited to meet more crazy DISers? At least he didn't have to golf with Z!

So exactly how hot were you at this point???? Amazingly hot huh?

Very hot Cathy

You guys look so cute in the pic with your shiny Dream Ears.

Awww thanks Li

I've never even heard of the candy lady!! Something to look forward to next trip.

It's a must do, so unusual!!!

We'd just finished in Norway and we're headed into the China pavillion when all of a sudden I hear "Zorylee?" In this loverly British accent and I turn to my right and lo and behold it's Jo smiling right at me!!!

Glad you heard me

I was so excited I said "Oh my God, Jo!!!" Gave her a hug , which I think caught her off guard (sorry Jo, didn't mean to scare you) I was just so happy to finally meet another DISer.

That's Ok you didn't scare me, I didn't know what to do whether to shake your hand or what just ask Lisa (Zigzagzerrr) It was so good to meet you too!

 

[DisneyJo]

Jo, you and your daughters are so darling! I loved Figment too. It's looks like he's playing with you hair. Maybe he had a crush.

Hi Jo! It's me, Michelle, trying out my new screen name! I wanted to change it before I start my new TR.

Michelle are you trying to confuse us all? Please send me a link when you do a new TR as I will forget your new username

And your first DIS encounter! How cool! I'm sure there are many more to come!!!

Well there may be 1 or 2 more

It is my goal to make friends with dozens of English friends who will each invite me over the pond for a week and I could spend an entire year touring the country and getting to know lots of people. (sneaky, are I not?)

So that's why you're reading my TR is it?

Yummm! Dessert for breakfast?

Quiz away, glad you got your book, is it good?

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Quiz away, glad you got your book, is it good?

I dunno. I just bought it this weekend off eBay. I hope to have it in my hands this week, so we can start studying the countries and finish by Christmas!
I think I'm going to go back and take notes on the shows you liked and didn't. Not to mention, write down to go to the candy lady! I don't think my kids will save theirs. I bet they'll eat them. We'll see, huh?

 

[zigzagzerr]

That's Ok you didn't scare me, I didn't know what to do whether to shake your hand or what just ask Lisa (Zigzagzerrr) It was so good to meet you too!

Yep, I'll vouch for it. It is a bit awkward, meeting your imaginary friends. But well worth it!!

Sounds like a great day, Jo! We started out at Epcot, too, and just like you, things didn't go exactly as planned -- but so what, we're on vacation. Woo hoo!

The picture with Mary Poppins is beautiful, and very very cool about winning the Dream Ears.

Great start to your vacation!!

 

[english rose 47]

Can you do pix on a LapTop?? I have to figure out how to on this messed up computor also! But think I will wait till my solo trip in Feb and bombard you with pix of me!!

 

[winkers]

I'm finally caught up! Snow white looks like dopey was giving her a goose! I laughed out loud at that picture! That's so cool that you got YOAMD ears! We never even saw the dream team while we were there. I guess we had dream repellant on!

 

[TEminnie]

I thought you were our computer whiz To post photo's Rosie you first need to load them into an account like photobucket, it's free you then use the image code!

Uh, Jo, do you really think that that is adequate instruction? It took us 2 weeks to get her avatar changed! Let us know when you get your account!

And Rosie--where did the Focker signature go?? You are still our computer expert!

Can you do pix on a LapTop?? I have to figure out how to on this messed up computor also! But think I will wait till my solo trip in Feb and bombard you with pix of me!!

Uh........step 1.......... www.photobucket.com
create an account here...it's free......yes, Jo will give you HER user name and password to speed things along....no, you cannot just pretend to be Jo.......ok, stop looking at all the other pictures on photobucket--they are not YOUR pictures (but I use them a lot!)

Advice to all (from Jo or someone else)--make your account private unless you really WANT other folks using your pics!

 

[english rose 47]

I told you this computor is messed up. It keeps going down & I loose all sorts of stuff. I just started to redo my siggie now you now me THEWHIZ it's gonna take a while, but did you notice I got 2 lines in color Next step is re instating myself as the official Whiz. Stay tuned!!

Hope it's good and you MUST do the candy lady

Yep, I'll vouch for it. It is a bit awkward, meeting your imaginary friends. But well worth it!!

Glad you read that bit Lisa, I didn't know what to do when I met you hug or hand shake I think we did both

Sounds like a great day, Jo! We started out at Epcot, too, and just like you, things didn't go exactly as planned -- but so what, we're on vacation. Woo hoo!

Oooh I could have stalked you there too

I'm finally caught up! Snow white looks like dopey was giving her a goose! I laughed out loud at that picture! That's so cool that you got YOAMD ears! We never even saw the dream team while we were there. I guess we had dream repellant on!

About SW and that DT are very scarce we hardly saw them too!!!

Uh, Jo, do you really think that that is adequate instruction? It took us 2 weeks to get her avatar changed! Let us know when you get your account!

OK yeah I should have explained a bit more

yes, Jo will give you HER user name and password to speed things along....no, you cannot just pretend to be Jo.......

Just a quick Jess started big school today and here she is squinting in the sun in her uniform!!!!

And in her very large PE kit

I know I posted these on the TFW chat thread but thought I'd put them here too

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Good luck at your new school Jess!

 

[TEminnie]

Just a quick

What does off-topic mean???

When do the kids get home??
I have this giant list of things to get done now that my kids are back in school....so far, I HAVE got the refrigerator cleaned out, but that's about it! I should add "DIS MORE OFTEN" to my list and then I would feel better!

 

[Disneyolic]

Way to go! And only on your first day.......

We headed to Figment (a childhood fave) and the line here was enormous too So we went to meet him instead with no line

The line was enormous? Are we talking about the same Figment ride??? We literally walked right on that ride. There was no one in front of us and no one in back of us. It was almost scary!!!

For some reason we never took a photo of the girls with their unicorn

That's okay. With all the pics we took I still sit there wondering I didn't take certain pictures...oh well!

As we’re leaving China I comment to DH that we haven’t spotted ZoryLee yet and he’s so pleased so guess who I spotted only a few seconds later

Yippee!!!!

Our tummies were now rumbling so we headed to the Electric Umbrella where we shared some chicken strips before catching the bus back to CSR for a nice cool off in the pool.

I love them chicken strips!

We then had more than a 20min wait for the bus and were tucked up in bed by 9.15pm!

It is nice to get a good sleep...at least once during your trip!

Up next can I keep the P&PP a secret??????

I dunno....can you?
