From Oil Wells to Jingle Bells-Bells,pg.66, See you in September!

[Backstage_Gal]

I hear you, Smidgy! Let's give Nebo a big HURRUMPHHHHH for that remark!!

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

Smidgy! You rock!!! I am very proud of you!!

When it comes to being sad, I have always considered myself to be one ot those, "in the know."

I know what causes it, and I know how to avoid it... powerful information, right there.

I just don't know how to capitalize on it.

For example, all sadness that one feels comes from being awake, if you can avoid being awake, you will avoid being sad.
See how simple?

This is why I have always tried to avoid the "Last Day at Disney" depression that hits just about everybody, by leaving first thing in the morning.

Sometimes, even before I am truly awake.
I've adopted this same procedure throughout most of my working career, I need to wake up and be in the car on the way to work before I know what's going on. It's when I'm up for a long time before it's time to leave that I have a problem, working 2nd or 3rd shift almost killed me.

Now, in DIsney, since most of our trips are drive downs, we are on the road before the sun comes up, even before..........
"Dawn".

I have been driving north on the Florida Turnpike when the world has suddenly made it's presence known; "Whoa, what happened? How'd we get here?"
And no, the "Leaving Disney" tears don't hit you the same when you are surrounded by Fed-Ex and Schneider 18 wheelers.

Unfortunately, none of this applies on this Thursday, Dec. 9 at Pop Century.

Our flight is for 2:30 but,,,,,, The Magical Depress is picking us up at 11:15!
3 friggin hours before our plane leaves and yes, I do hate that they make you kill that much time.

My problem is I don't really know how I feel this morning, I'm devoid of emotion, I feel nothing. Not happy, not sad either, I'm just ,,,,, there.

This is a first for me, I am ALWAYS near tears when a trip is over,,, and this just feels,,,,, wrong.

I hate to even consider saying this, but,,,,,,,
I am looking forward to being back home and in the regular routine again,,,,,,,,and ,,,, more importantly,,,,,,,,
well,,,,,,,,,,,to me...............

a regular routine........... is,,,,,,,,,,,,,

PLANNING AND LOOKING FORWARD TO A TRIP WHEN MY BACK HASN'T GONE OUT AND WE DIDN'T SPEND THE WHOLE TIME FREEZING!

I was all packed up early, then took a few minutes to check the weather on tv.
Looks like we missed a bunch of snow in Chicago, but should be clear today. As for Orlando?

Warming up some today, high in upper sixties, with mid seventies both friday and saturday.
Normally, this would have upset me, "sure, get's nice as soon as we leave" but I see that after those two nice days the bottom falls out again with temps maybe down in the 20's at night.

I told Smidgy I'm going for a newspaper and have a smoke, and I took the long way around, circa Hourglass lake, the 70's and 60's.

This was perfect timing for me right now, being alone.
I was already planning the next trip in my mind, circling the parts I want to change and underlining the thoughts I don't want to forget.

I didnn't have my first smoke until I was by teh Potatoe Heads, and even that brought back warmer times to my feeble brain,,,,, wow, has it been 4 and 1/2 years since we were first here? Yeah, guess so,,, my first trip report on may of 06,,,,

Walking along Memory Lane, I came across a woman standing at the edge of the sidewalk, leaning toward the lake a little bit, and obviously fascinated by something.

I stood next to her trying to see what she is seeing.
And not seeing anything.

"Um, what are you looking at?"

"You don't see it? It's right there!"

I look and line my eyeballs up with hers, looks like she is looking straight across the lake at a building on the right where a big crane is hanging over it. (construction crane, not the other kind)

Bob

But I had to tell her I still don't see anything yet.
And now she's getting a bit upset that I have the nerve to have bad eyes.

"It's right there, here, I'll point right at it."
And she let her camera swing down and pointed once again towards the building on the other side of the lake.
This time I was going to tell her I see it no matter what,,, and then I was going to run!

To make it look good, I leaned a little forward to where she was pointing, and that was when I had an epiphany.

Oh yeah, I saw it alright, and the way I did it scared the crap out of me.

It wasn't across the lake, it was 2 inches in ,,,, Front,,,, Of ,,, MY ,,,, NOSE!

"Holy,,,,," and I jumped back.

It was a spider, a HUGE spider, and just hanging by a thread.
From the tree we are standing under.

I have no idea how I didn't see it immediately, except to say that a spider was the last thing I would have been looking for.
It's body was the size of Remy, and if you add in the legs it was then as big as Baloo.

The Baloo in the sixties section at Pop. No wonder she was tading pictures.
Wanna guess where my camera is?

On the way past the pool back to the room with my paper I had to check the work crew to see if the original Harley Boys are here today.

The one guy I don't recognize at all, but my chair counter friend is out there setting up the power washer.
Now, I'm not even getting a wave out of him anymore,,,,,which I didn't understand cuz as far as I'm concerned he ended up winning when he put the back curse on me.

One thing about the weather so far today,,,, it is almost totally cloud covered right now,,,,,,,for the first time since we have been here. Yeah, gonna warm up some today,,,,,, but it's gonna make sure we are gone and on the plane before the sun comes out to do that.

Hey, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean that the forces of nature aren't out to get me!

When I opened the door Smidgy had the weather channel on too:
"Good news! Looks like it's going to be warming up a little bit after we leave." She said this in her most sarcastic accent.
Yes, she speaks Sarcasm fluently ever since she once overpaid at the Sarcasm exchange rate.

"Little bit warmer?" I said. "No, it would have to be a lottle bit warmer to bother me.

All packed up and nowhere to go, we left anyway.
We have two checked bags, two carrions.

Carry ons.

Well, the one smelled like Carrion ,I think it was the Slim Jim in the Dolly Madison Brownie Hollandaise Sauce.

But I am really gratefull for Magical Express today,,,,, my back is hurting like a son of a gun and the Vikes have gone the way of their football namesakes,,,,meaning,,,,,, "wait'l next year."

You see, all we have to do is get the crap down to baggage, then we don't have to worry about anything except carrions until O"hare.

Yep, made to order for a guy with too much crap and a bad back.

Sure am glad we have this today, otherwise this could really be a problem in my condition.

We were even able to save a couple of bucks by finding an abandoned transformer cart rackage thingy.

"It's a dolly! It's a 2 -Wheeler! It's a 4 Wheeler! It's a Mobile Home!"

Love them things if you can figure them out.

Smidgy also wanted to use up the rest of our Snack credits, think we had 5 left, maybe more. What I do know is that for the next week at home everytime I opened the fridge door a wonderful, delectable, moist, chocolate cake in the plasic container was looking at me.

5 times!

But first, let's take care of the luggage, ok?
Nothing can go wrong here, can it? Course not, it's Disney, not Westworld,,,,,, where nothing can got rong, rong, rong,,,,,

It wasn't too crowded at the window/desk, on the side of the building, but it was cold out there.

Smidgy is handling things, I'm doing the 56 year old vergion of the disinterested little kid at the bank with his mom, just kind of hanging on her arm, twirling around and saying, "I'm bored."

Uh oh,,,,,,wow, that opens all sorts of possible quotes up,,
un uhnn,, not good,,VERSION,,,, The 56 Year Old Version! (believe me, this was a "typing upon stumble into" thing, no, you can't plan something this stupid like this)

With our bags on the side, we are now about to start going through the Walt DIsney World Cast Member's Who's Who, and current rankings.

Let's start with Carlos, he was our first, and really tried.

Carlos is from Puerto Rico, I know from his name tag, and I had plenty of time to study said name tag.

We handed him our info, and at this point right here, this very moment, this PRECISE MOMENT in TIME, our work concerning our involvement and making the required actions that we must personally perform,,,,,,,is now completed.

Up to Carlos now, who punches in HIS required duties,, and stands back, waiting for the "All Clear" from the computer.

It never comes.
He tries it again.

5 minutes later,, he gives up.

Now he has the unwelcome task of telling us what must come next, and I could see it coming, tried to head him off at the pass and just save yourself time by getting a supervisor now and saving your breath,,,,,, but no, there's protocall he must go through, and wasting time trying to explain to us what happened is part of it.

"Ok, go for it." Smidgy said. k

And he Yadda'd us to death.
It's a TSA thing, if you notice there is no guarantee which is in really small type on the Magical EXpress brouchure that says they can choose you at random singling you out and making you do your own checking in.

No what?
We weren't buying it, and we certainly weren't in the mood to HAVE to buy into it, not with how the trip went, and we just weren't into the mood for having to pup up with any other changes in plans at this point.

Not to mention,,,,,, now we have to get all these bags to baggage check in at MCO and I'm not sure what else it will affect.

So we aren't moving, we wait until a manager comes.

Hello Jeff, he's the manager.
I know this cuz his name tag says so.
Unfortunately, he's not from any city, state or other country, unless that place happens to be named, Manager.

I guess when you climb the ranks like he did to become manager, you now must be placed in the manager protection agency where they have to keep their home location secret.

But Jeff was on the ball. j

When he came over, Carlos explained it to him what was going on, after thinking about it a second, Jeff said, "Right."

This guy was even younger yet, you could tell he had Disneyspeak playing on a tape every night to get that Stepford image down perfectly so it will all come naturally, plus he looked not even 20, and looked like he never even had to shave yet, his voice didn't sound like it ever dropped, that's for sure. But he had that sometimes Disney cast member look tht you see now and then from certain Cms that have drunk all the Disney Kool-aid they can get a hold of and are convinced that Disney had never, ever had something go wrong.

Yep, that was it, "Right."

I am no longer twirling around Dianes legs, and I feel my sarcasm meeter just shooting through the roof right now.

But you still have to stand in line behind Smidgy if you are going to speak in Sarcasm.

"Oh, Right, great, love to hear we are right. So since you told us we don't have to worry about getting our bags to luggage you are then going to be coming with us and doing it for us?
Right?"

I stepped in for a moment to tell this guy to get a "real" manager who knows what has happened to get out here or he's going to have an ugly scene here really soon. It's your choice.

Well, our Disney Patriot was very disappointed to hear that we want still ANOTHER cast member, but you could tell even he knew he was just a figurehead, not a reall employee, more like a model, and patriot fits him here.

I almost expected him to turn around and yell,
"Give me puberty or give me death," but he disappeared in the back luggage room area.

Finally, a real, old, regular castmember type of guy came out.

WELL, ok, old compared to what we've been dealing with, maybe 38?

He told us there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it, TSA has determined one way or another that we need to be checked out,,, it's a random thing according to him, just to throw a monkey in the wrench to any possible terrorists, doesn't happen ofter but when it does, everybody has the same reaction.

They don't like it.

"Really" "NO"? "They don't like it? "
"G'wan!"

Great, I thought we had a regular type guy here, but he seemed astounded that we would agree with all the other people that got upset when their plans were screwed up too.

Diane tried to tell him the reason we are doing this is cuz my back is out and can't carry the bags, and instead of sympathy from him, he did what was easier, he lied to us.

Told us not to worry,. where the bus drops off us and our luggage is right by the terminal to check the baggage, less thatn fifty feet and that's the only thing that has changed.

Well, there wan't anything that could be done, but now he can't check our bags so he'll put them on the side and "If I were you, I'd keep an eye on them. "

Yeah, I can just see these ending up going to the airport anyway, and then ending up forever in MCO Limbo cuz they haven't been approved, which is even worse than Chubby Checker Limbo, which I have also paid dearly into.

We still had a good 45 minutes to kill, so we took turns going away for awhile. She went and used a bunch of snack credits, I went and smoked, and smoked, and smoked,,,,,oh, i took a picture for some reason,,,,no, not something cool like a spider, but of a planter by the Petals Bar.

Pretty soon a lot of us had joined "Wait Watchers" waiting for the bus, so what pulls up? A Mears bus! Now this poor guy has the wonderful job of trying to convince 75 people that, "Yes, they are getting on the right bus," Yes, I work for Disney," Yes, I know where the airport is," "No, I'm not going to drive you to Duluth."

with that, times up, kiss kiss, bang bang,,, neeb

 

[mrsksomeday]

You left on my birthday. I remember it being cloudy that day.

Oh I would have been mad about the TSA thing. That was not good when your back was the way it was. I have to take care of all our bags, I could see that happening to us. So sad your Disney time is over, I do agree though about it being time to go, we were the same way. We were so sick of being cold.

[COLOR="Blue" Tracy,,,,,,,, you and Bill sound like you are going throught the same thing we did.
And that is,,,,,, Hey! YGoR,,,, you listnin" We froze our tushyes off down there and we don't do freezin,,,,,, or tushes for that matter.
AND NOW, you want to make up for it, ergo,,,,,, the Poly and the Boardwalk,,,,,,for us,,,,, AKV and Bacon Lettuce and Tomatoes.

I think the 4 of us need to get together sometime, somewhere,,,,,, when it's HOT,,,, and just chill out and tell stories by a pool.
And if we can't time things right at Disney,,,,maybe a motel 6 or Super 8 in Effingham or somewhere.

Oh,,,,, the stories Smidgy could tell you.........!@![/COLOR]

During my recent stay at Pop Century, I did not see your friend, the chair counter, and therefore did not complete my mission (to kick him in the shins). I failed. My apologies.
I think it's possible that the curse he put on you carried over to all those who read your TR, though, and that's why I fell.
Now more than ever, I must find him and give him a good kick. Next time.

For example, all sadness that one feels comes from being awake, if you can avoid being awake, you will avoid being sad.
See how simple?

Um, wuldn't you henbe D.E.A.D.

3 friggin hours before our plane leaves and yes, I do hate that they make you kill that much time.

I hate this and next time we are driving so wecan leave wen we want to!

I almost expected him to turn around and yell,
"Give me puberty or give me death," but he disappeared in the back luggage room area.

 

[winkers]

I can't believe the tsa crap!! Of course I can't believe most of what those idiots do! I don't think many terrorists take a trip to disney world before blowing things up.

 

[pkondz]

I can't believe the tsa crap!! Of course I can't believe most of what those idiots do! I don't think many terrorists take a trip to disney world before blowing things up.

No, they do it after. "Whoo hoo! I blowed up _____ (fill in the locale of your choice)! I'm going to Disney World!"


And no Nebo I haven't forgotten to rip apart... er, respectfully comment, on your last post. I will! Promise! (or is that a threat? )

I think you are right, we are going crazy on the Nov/Dec trip because of the frozen-ness (I made up a new word, YAY ME!!). I can't back out of this trip if I wanted to, well not the BWV part, we rented points, paid for no going back.

It would be great to get together with you guys. We are hoping to meet up with the Oregon's - Mommy and Daddyof2 in Oct. 2012. Have you made any 2012 plans yet ?

 

[heathers4um]

Hiya Nebo and Smidgy!

Its been a long while - I was reading this TR way back in the fall just before I went myself. I have since gone again on a last minute trip and am back to reading to get thru my days! I am so happy I finally caught up with yours! Nevermind it took 2 full days of completely ignoring any and everything that came through my desk, the energy it took to shuffle papers and things about and minimize you if someone came into the office...Im here! I have to admit, I didnt read ALL of the posts from the others, and their replies (sorry!!) but I did read all of yours and Diane's!

SO, first, congrats on the newest little one!!

Super Yay on the eyes prognosis!! How scary for you!!

LOVED the past episodes...has convinced me to go back and read them in full.

And the most important question is: when's the next trip???

 

[nebo]

Bacon and eggs?? HAAH!! Amateur!
No, sirreee, a proper Heart Attack on a Plate involves pork cutlets (schnitzel), onions, heavy cream, sour cream, gouda cheese, mushrooms and salt pork all baked together in the oven. Eat with some fresh french bread.

I am trying to picture this conglomeration in my mind but it just keeps coming up as something I would love.




Well, guten abend is right for earlyish evening when there is still some left of it. Gute Nacht is for late nights. Note that Abend is masculine (der Abend), thus "guten", whereas Nacht is feminine (die Nacht), thus "gute".

This concludes your German lesson for this quarter.

i have never understood the masculine and feminine aspect to languages, I know it's that way in Spanish, too. How can night be male or female?
I thought abend was "evening", and could be a greeting, like Alfred Hitchcock's "Good Evening" when the show started, and Nacht was night, as in "Party's over, it's late, get the hell out, good NIGHT!

Gee, I don't know if I wanna answer that... Will you give me a Red Ryder BB Gun with a compass in the stock, and "this thing that tells time" if I get it right?

I was thinking it would be more appropo for you if you got the plastic leg in the fish net stockings with the 100 watt bulb, instead.
Oh wait, do they have watts in metric Canada? What are watts called there? Lightmeters? How do they measure bulb brightness there? Do you ask for a 2 pack of Naomi's?

Good news about the peepers! I'm so glad you didn't need another shot.

You know, I've read your post 4 times now, and after a considerable amount of thought, I have decided that I have to agree with you.
geesh

I hear you, Smidgy! Let's give Nebo a big HURRUMPHHHHH for that remark!!

so much for free speech

Smidgy! You rock!!! I am very proud of you!!

Oh yes, it's just great. Who in the world would have thought that someone could possibly quit smoking after all this time,,,,,no, can't be done. She's the ggreatest, have to call Ripley's, maybe someday we can get her to share her secret in how she did it. And maybe I'll be able to quit sometime.

We don't use Whats, we use "ehs". That's why it's called Canada. Originally it was CND (Commonwealth of Northern Development). But when we would spell it, it would come out, "C eh? N eh? D eh?". Hence, Canada.



And yes, I so want that lamp.

So sad your Disney time is over, I do agree though about it being time to go, we were the same way. We were so sick of being cold.

It would have to be a great deal to get me down there when there's a chance it might be cold again.
If we were living there like we are supposed to be doing by now, it would be entirely different, then i'd look forward to to going on a cool day to have lunch and watch Illuminations or something, the mindset totally changes living down there.

Jay, I donn't think this kid knew what pro football was, he seemed more the Farmville type.

The dad in COP is Jean Shepard - Christmas Story Narrator

Oh and anothr little tidbit - Cousin Orville is Mel Blanc ;-)

Now on to reading the update!

Yes, you are correct to the second power. Here's one for you,,,, we all know the voice on BTMR, "Howdy Folks, this here's the wildest ride......." But where in DisneyWorld did he actually have a larger role?

Um, wuldn't you henbe D.E.A.D.

I hate this and next time we are driving so wecan leave wen we want to!

YKou mean to the airport or all the way from Philly?

I can't believe the tsa crap!! Of course I can't believe most of what those idiots do! I don't think many terrorists take a trip to disney world before blowing things up.

Winkers? You're alive! It lives! Smidgy told me you are going to do a report on Disneyland but i don't see it anywhere yet, where's the link? I'd love to read a good head to head comparison type report along with stuff that can go wrong, and I know with you, that can be plenty.
However, I'm not sold that this was a TSA thing we ran into, I have a strong feeling they were being used as a scapegoat here, what difference is it to them who carries in the luggage and checks it in?
Nice to see you Cheri

No, they do it after. "Whoo hoo! I blowed up Universal Studios,_____ (fill in the locale of your choice)! I'm going to Disney World!"

Yep, starting to all make sense now.

An Al Queda woman met an old friend in the Taliban at the Supermarket and started showing family pictures.
"This is my son, Ahmet, he would have turned 20 this week but he martyred himself two months ago."

"My, they blow up so quickly these days."


And no Nebo I haven't forgotten to rip apart... er, respectfully comment, on your last post. I will! Promise! (or is that a threat? )

Hey, no rush, only a chapter or two left, anyway.

I think you are right, we are going crazy on the Nov/Dec trip because of the frozen-ness (I made up a new word, YAY ME!!). I can't back out of this trip if I wanted to, well not the BWV part, we rented points, paid for no going back.
Yep. sure sounds like us, we rented them, just haven't paid yet as we are still waiting for a standard view room at BLT instead of Lake view. (much cheaper)

It would be great to get together with you guys. We are hoping to meet up with the Oregon's - Mommy and Daddyof2 in Oct. 2012. Have you made any 2012 plans yet ?

That would be toni an terry. Or tony and teri. But no, we don't book tht far in advance,,,,, this September trip is way too far away for me,,,,,,I keep wanting to mess and tinker with it but who knows if Captain eO or Spectro will be showing,,,,and according to current park hours, the Magic Kingdom only has Wishes 3 or 4 days a week. Hard to make a schedule with that info.

Hiya Nebo and Smidgy!

Hi heather, welcome back!
Next trip is,,,,,,,Sept. 7-8 All Star Music,,,, 9-15,,,, BLT, 15-21, standard villa room, Jambo House.

 

[Thumper_Man]

It's a TSA thing, if you notice there is no guarantee which is in really small type on the Magical EXpress brouchure that says they can choose you at random singling you out and making you do your own checking in.

Magical Express? Did I just read this right, did you call it Magical Express? You actually called it by it's name and not Magical Depress. Who are you what did you do with Nebo?

He told us there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it, TSA has determined one way or another that we need to be checked out,,, it's a random thing according to him, just to throw a monkey in the wrench to any possible terrorists, doesn't happen ofter but when it does, everybody has the same reaction.

Well if you would quit terrorizing everyone at WDW and quite fighting with the Brazilians, maybe you wouldn't get flagged.

Good to hear the eye is doing better and that you're still not smoking. Finally got a chance to catch up completely. Hang in there, we're all routing for you.

 

[nowellsl]

I bet it was the pool guy that got him flagged

 

[Disney 4-ever]

Hi Steve and Diane, I dont think I can handle your report coming to an end and Sept is such a long time away. I need to keep my Disney fix going. What am I to do? How will I know how things are going with you two? Do you know any other good reports I can read. I have read all of yours. Take care, maybe we can figure out away to get to Disney in Sept. Maybe we will go down there sooner, Permently, I wish!! Anywho, take care and keep in touch!!

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

Oh yes, it's just great. Who in the world would have thought that someone could possibly quit smoking after all this time,,,,,no, can't be done. She's the ggreatest, have to call Ripley's, maybe someday we can get her to share her secret in how she did it. And maybe I'll be able to quit sometime.

Mr. Crankypants, you rock too and I am equally as proud of you!
