A few people laughed, which only encourages me;
"Good morning, good MORNING, do, do, de do do, good morning, good morning, to you, and you and you and you."
( admit it, you were trying to sing it as you read it)

I was trying to sing it!

I'm really enjoying your trip report. I especially had to laugh about Turtle Lady and Hog Lady...we're always giving names to crazy/odd people we encounter in our travels!

What....me? Oh no, I barely come here at all. I mean, just the normal amount. Like a hundred times a day, or something.


Wow, seriously? That's nuts. How much would it kill them to just leave the pool open, with a sign saying it's unattended until 8:00, or something? Are they worried people would be less excited to go to the pool, if they don't have the anticipation of Rope Drop? Weird.




I hate to admit this, but even while I'm hating on Turtle/Hog Lady, I'm also a bit impressed by her efficiency!

Did she look like this?

Glad you survived the slide...and the pizza!

Priceless!

Well! Look what I get for going to the beach
A new Nebo report and I missed the beginning!
Didn't see this one coming
Hi ! Nebo and Smudgy missed you guys.
Gotta go back and get reading now

Just got to this post in my reading and am laughing at myself for mistyping Smidgy! Sorry about that dear I'd like to blame it on my new crappy keyboard, don't buy a Logitech. That is unless I was at home when I typed that then it was the wine.

and DARN! I got the Mr Dillon ref.

reading on !

I have read and loved all your trip reports but never posted before because I always seem to find them when they're about to end. I was so glad to find this one (relatively) near the beginning. It was funny, I had just finished reading a different report and went looking at the index to try and find one from someone I enjoyed, and there was yours!

I had a 2002 Santa Fe that I loved and adored, made several trips to Disney in it, but foolishly let my brother borrow last year. He managed to total my baby. He wasn't hurt at all, which I was very happy about, but I sure miss that car.

I am Posting A Reply!
Turtle lady, I probably would have just dipped ever so gently the towels into the pool and then nicely returned them to the 'sleeping' loungers..
So the skeech slide? Not so nice huh?

Seriously, we are from Chicago(close enough) there is NO GOOD PIZZA in florida. My sister moved down there like 12 years ago. She is still looking.

Nebo and Smidgy remind me of me and my husband. Two goofy adults who just are crazy in love with each other. Me and my husband were at the verge of divorcing a couple of weeks ago but just that thought of being without the other was heartbreaking. I am subbing to this trip report and like I read before "Bring it ON!!"

 

[Mickeyorbust]

...Back through the lobby, and woontcha know it, right next to the twin elevators in an unarmed, unmanned luggage cart.

We brought it down with us to the garage where 5 of it's brother were waiting at the bottom. Oh well.

After loading the thing to the max, my bathroom bag's strap held in my teeth, I pushed it back to the elevator with her guiding.
She pushed the button, I positioned it in front and shortly I heard a "Ding".

I couldn't really see through the hanging clothes, so I waited a second to make sure someone wasn't getting off, then I shoved it forward.

"WHAM!"

Whoops, wrong elevator.

Hey, I had a fifty fifty chance. ...

OMG I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself. I have done that! Was waiting for an elevator at work with my back to it talking to co-workers. I heard a ding turned around to walk in and WHAM.

Love you guys, can't wait for more.

thats alright. SMudgy fits, also. I cannot eat Mustard without getting it on me. really. at the restaurant, they want us to wear white shirts, now.I cannot wear white without getting a grease stain or something within an hour! (so I went out and bought the kind of waitress apron with the bib... yeah, I know, I NEED a bib, anyway!)

Nebo and Smidgy remind me of me and my husband. Two goofy adults who just are crazy in love with each other. Me and my husband were at the verge of divorcing a couple of weeks ago but just that thought of being without the other was heartbreaking.

Ok, someone previously asked for the story. here goes:

nebo and smidgy were divorced. boys were in their teens. there was a little bar where we hung around for years(It was a nice little place owned by an older couple, they made their garage into a bar. backyard with horseshoes and picnnic tables, no cussing allowed!) I eventually started tending bar there.
when we divorced, all our friends asked "who is getting custody of (insert bar name here)?" we didn't want to put our friends in the middle and replied, neither, ..or both! we decided to have a "friendly" divorce(ok, as friendly as divorce can be; we went with one lawyer , who, as you all know has lots of DVC points which we rent. that was the ONE good things that came out of the divorce, meeting him!and his cute wife!)rotfl: ok, I digress, and am getting ahead of myself, but when we were dating again, we ran into him at a bar/restaurant. nebo said"hey! I want my money back! this divorce isn't working!" ... I think maybe that's why they rent us points cheap.. he feels guilty for taking our money!)
so I kept working there, Nebo kept hanging around there.
After he bought the townhouse, he even hired me to clean it! I told everyone, "I cleaned up after that man for 20 years! I'm finally getting paid for it!"
one night we had Karaoke. now, Nebo is QUITE the crooner!
ok, have to digress, yet again! we were watching some playoff game at the bar, and Nebo asked me to dance (this was pre-divorce.... can't keep up? .. don't worry, neither can we! anyhoo, the jukebox was VERBOTTEN during games. I said "um, there's no music." his reply "let me worry about that"
he put out his hand for me to take (in true "rig style") (see riglees TR for more info here) and we danced as he sang, "Always and Forever".
ok, back to the story. wait, I "digressed" in a "digression" oops.
I was the bartender,Nebo was the KJ (karaokee DJ) and his 3 best buddies came. he has known them forever (2 since kindergartedn the "newcomer" since age 12.) they got up to sing and NEbo announced, "all 3 of these guys stood up to my wedding years ago"... well, the singing left much to be desired. so after the song he said "and now you all know why I am divorced!" all I could manage was "HEY!"
ok, back to the original story.

we had started "hanging around" together a bit. dinner here, drink there. we were talking about how much we loved WDW the 2 times we took the boys. well, neither one of us was "seeing" anyone else at the time so we thought, why not?
we each paid our own way. as the trip neared, it got more and more exciting!!! the trip to the mall to buy our tickets at the Disney store, the planning, the GOSSIP at the bar. (heck , even if he wasn't so cute, and those old feelings weren't being stirred up again, I would've gone just for the gossip! I still think they had a pool going)
well, the boys were now older (I think they had their OWN pool going) and able to leave home alone. actually, I started spending more and more time at the townhouse.
well, all I can say is "they don't call it the Magic Kingdom for nothing!"
when we returned, let's just say there were a few single girls who were unhappy (picture the "town" girls in Beauty and the Beast). ok, maybe stretching it a bit, but I'm sure you'll all agree, Nebo is a catch! and it fits with the story.
my clothes started coming over bit by bit (silly nebo, thought I would keep my clothes in those 6 inches of closet he allowed me). I think he finally realized I was moving in for good when I brought my Piano over!
and that's the story. (ok, there were complications, like, what to do about the big house the boys and I were in, what about the boys, etc. one moved out anyway, the other bought a house with his fiancee'.. I moved into he town house, but, don't worry, they both moved back in eventually anyway! one at a time though , in the little 2 br townhouse!)
and so now, Disney is OUR PLACE! nope, it's OURS and none of you can have it! You might think it's there for you, but it's really there for us (like the 3D guy in Muppet Vision).
but, we'll share it with you... if we didn't, there would be no one to read Nebo's trip reports!

 

[smidgy]

we went with one lawyer , who, as you all know has lots of DVC points which we rent. that was the ONE good things that came out of the divorce, meeting him!and his cute wife!)rotfl: ok, I digress, and am getting ahead of myself, .!

(ok , the "sad" face by the lawyer was a mistake. not going to try to go back and change it.)

only I can digress and get ahead of myslef at the same time!.. must be all those time travel books I love!

 

[smidgy]

and now I'm going to stop editing and back-pedaling, before I get in trouble!!!! (and I asked Nebo first if I could post this) .. tee hee!
(ok, now I'm in trouble, right mony? oh, that's right, you're on your way to disney)

 

[Minnie J]

Thank you for sharing your digressions and the story with us Smidgy!! Cant wait to read on and see what happens

 

[longneckthree]

Just popping in to say hi
I don't know how often I'll be able to post as I am really busy right now but I will be happily reading along and spewing my hot coco all over my laptop.

 

[smidgy]

Emily! you're sweet 16 now!

 

[kenaiwitch]

Hey Nebo, Smidgy. Just want to say I have been reading your reports....OKAY lurking With 32 days of rain at least I have something to read

 

[longneckthree]

Emily! you're sweet 16 now!

I know YAY!!!! I finally get to start driving!!! Though after reading Nebo's report I don't know if I want to.

 

[Cara]

Thanks, Nebo! I checked out your backstory, LOL. So glad you and Smidgy found your way back to one another. You both sound like really cool folks! Looking forward to reading the rest of your report!

 

[Curiouser&curiouser!]

Count me in!

Nebo and Smidgy- You too are adorable! I hope my DH and I get to enjoy many years together just like the two of you! (Preferably at DisneyWorld and preferably without the divorce!) We are only 4 years and one baby boy in so far, but it is wonderful!

 

[mmeb144]

Smidgy, I think I read all the other trip reports and I just wanted to let you know I appreciate finding out the real story behind the double wedding anniversary dates. It wasn't too confusing, maybe I read too many time travel books, too.

 

[nebo]

Boy, looks like I have some work to do.

Before we get started, does anyone know if Captain EO has been laid to rest again, not that summer nightastic is over?
Why would I want to know? Just wondering, just wondering.

This should be fun!



Yes, of course I have a car to pack, stop writing such great stories so I CAN PACK!!!!

You are right Monica, the moustache comes and goes. It's not like I can change my hair style when I n eed a change, now can I?

You have too seen Jersey girls and boyz!

You had dinner in England with them, member?



How can I forget, when you didn't stop me from ordering the Moray eel with feet.


LYMI!

I laughed out loud so many times while reading this, I'm glad the guy that lives next door isn't home. I'm always afraid I'll forget something and we'll have to turn around. I can't wait to read the rest.

Hi SB, I have found you are better off saving packing to the last minute. It seems to me that when you have lots of time you start pre-packing, and though it doesn't make much sense, that's when you forget something.

Sure. All of this sounds good, except the throwing up part. We'll be down in Orlando the 2nd and 3rd weekends of October. After all the shots and beer, I might need one of your pain killers for the morning hangover.

One? One? Oh yeah, I remeber those days when all I needed was one.

Thanks, Nebo, I will try not to be such a lurker! (And as for the name, it's because my son's nickname is Moose )

i'm having a hard time picturing a 7 year old going by the name of Moose. Maybe you can change it to Bulwinkle. Na, then you'd be Bullwinklesmomma.

I'll have to admit I was trying to sing this as I read it. I was forced to watch this movie during high school more than once. So I got to know the song.

If the "forcing" came from school, I envy you. I had to read Wuthering Heights and Brave New World.

What....me? Oh no, I barely come here at all. I mean, just the normal amount. Like a hundred times a day, or something.


Wow, seriously? That's nuts. How much would it kill them to just leave the pool open, with a sign saying it's unattended until 8:00, or something? Are they worried people would be less excited to go to the pool, if they don't have the anticipation of Rope Drop? Weird.

Vero isn't the only place, it get's even worse when we move on from here.




I hate to admit this, but even while I'm hating on Turtle/Hog Lady, I'm also a bit impressed by her efficiency!

Oh, she was efficient all right, you could tell she had a lot of experience hogging.

Did she look like this?

Glad you survived the slide...and the pizza!

Wow, great picture, but turtle lady wasn't that good looking.
