Glendamax Report: "Oh why did I go SOLO"?

[PrincessV]

But come on folks, you have to admit that I'm doing pretty well to be mostly finished and I havent been home for 2 whole weeks yet!

HECK yeah - I'll be lucky to finish up by the time I go again in Dec.! Take your time - we'll be here

 

[DreaGirl]

Take your time! You are doing awesome with your TR and I'm really enjoying it. I don't want it to end! I think you need to go back soon...

 

[NMAmy]

I'm all caught up and I LOVED it! I think it's wonderful that you just took the plunge and went on your own, although it appears as if you had a LOT of company for someone who was solo!

That picture of you on the TOT is fabulous and made me laugh! My dd has the same expression when she goes on that ride. Can't wait to read the end.

 

[MEK]

Fantastic trip report, especially the TOT meet! I have so much to do, yet I had to read it from start to finish!

Waiting for the conclusion! Thanks so much for all the great pictures and the great story!

 

[Glendamax]

Hey everybody! Here are 3 videos that I'm going back and inserting into my report.

This was taken in Tomorrow Land, to show the "crowds".




This one was taken on the "People Mover" in Tomorrow Land.



Here's the one in Haunted Mansion with the lights on. It's not THAT good, so don't get your hopes up!



​

I knew it was going to take awhile to do, but good grief! It's taken even longer than I thought. So it'll be another few days for me to upload everything and stick it in the report.

I intended on responding to more posts, but uploading the video has taken too long, and now I need to sign off

Also, as some of you may know, I'm going back to Disney Dec. 11th to see the Christmas Party and all the other festivities. Southwest had $60 flights each way available a few days ago. While waiting for the videos to load, I went to the site to get them, the LATEST flight I could get to come back home was 10:25 AM! So the ME bus will pick me up at 7:25 am! So learn from me, if you ever see a cheap flight, don't wait, just go ahead and book it! I must admit that it'll be nice getting home early, but not getting up early!

See you all tonight!

Love how empty the parks were for you GMax!

 

[scottny]

WOW. those crowds in Tomorrowland were great. Actually the 10 people there were great. I wish for crowds like that.

Being on the ride by yourself looked a little creepy to me.

HH was neat. at least you saw it with the lights on.

 

[daisy_77]

Awesome video, Gmax! Thanks for sharing.

 

[desiab]

Glendamax, that is the kind of crowd levels I hope we have when we get there in January.

Hi Glendamax!

So good to read your trip report! I absolutely loved meeting you at the TOT on Thursday. You are a beautiful person and can only hope that I can "spread joy" like you do to others. When I met you in person it was like I had known you for a long time.

I will continue to check in periodically to your TR. Such a good job so far

well, I'm all caught up now! With work being so crazy lately, I haven't had time to sleep, much less DIS properly

My mom and I went on HM that morning and our ride glitched a little bit and we thought we might get stuck so it sounds like the problem just got worse ... I was glad we had a chance to go on it though, especially since it decided to rain for MNSSHP!

LOVE the videos! and take as long as you need, I love reading your TR, so stretch that baby out!

YES! It was great!

HH was neat. at least you saw it with the lights on.

Being on the People Mover alone was cool, until I went into the dark, inside Space Mountain. That freaked me out a bit. After I first got on, it was my intention to stay on. But I couldnt do that part in the dark again!

Awesome video, Gmax! Thanks for sharing.

You're welcomed! I shot alot more, but only for my amusement!

Glendamax, that is the kind of crowd levels I hope we have when we get there in January.

I hope you have low crowds too. It helps you to enjoy the parks more, and feel less stressed!

Thank you so much! Actually, the day of the meet, I didnt know what kind of first impression I made since I felt so bad. Thank God I made a good one anyway! I am so honored that you felt like you already knew me, and that I seemed joyful! Thank you.

So sorry that it rained on the party! I hope it didnt totally ruin it!

As for stretching the report out - there's really not much left to stretch out. But I REALLY do appreciate everyone wishing it was longer. In my first report from 2005, and pre-trip report for 2006 (the link is still in my siggie), I felt like I was talking to myself most of the time! I think I was done by page 2 or 3.

So thanks again everyone. As you can tell I am overwhelmed by your responses - espcially after being used to NO traffic in my reports! I'm finally starting to feel well again! So I should be able to wrap up this report by the end of the week!

See ya Later!!!!

Good Morning Glenda!

I loved your videos. The HM one was especially great!

I really cannot believe how empty TomorrowLand was . I hope we get that in Oct. The (only) day I was in the MK was a Sat. It certainly wasn't empty but it wasn't awful either. You really had to utilize the FP. I know around 7 pm the line for Space Mtn was all the way out the door . Thankfully we walked past all of those folks with our FPs.

Have a great day!

man do I have a lot of back tracking to do. Being sick really does bite the big one. I will try and catch up today and can't wait to see what I missed.

 

[mamaprincess]

Awesome videos Glenda! You are a Trip report writing soldier!

I know why we don't have the next installment yet. You are way to busy trying to catch up on all this seasons premiers you've recorded! Bionic woman was pretty awesome. ANTM was so gross with the cigarette photo shoot. ew.

 

[DisneyObsession]

Can't watch the videos here at work, but will check them out when I get home tonight. Thanks for adding them!!!

 

[Poohbear67]

alright now I am caught up!! I see you missed the party for the HM & Thunder Mountain you bugger I am just glad you are feeling better.

Great TR and love the HM video that is to funny. It went down while we were in line waiting to get on it and then all of the sudden it started to work again so they let people on and it did almost the same to us but for us we made it through to bad, would have love to seen the inside of the HM in the light

 

[wirki]

Thanks for sharing the video's. I love the one's in Tomorrowland. The only other time I saw it less crowded was when I worked there and we were not open.

 

[marsh0013]

i just finally had a chance to read your whole report. i've been meaning to read it, since you posted about it on the solo board. i'm going solo in feb and your report has gotten me even more excited about it . no rush on the ending, you're a busy lady!

 

[Glendamax]

Good Morning Glenda!

Hey! I'm glad you liked the videos and that you could actually see them. Now that I know how to do it, I'll try to make short videos for the DIS when I go. There are a few more I started to post, but not everyone gets my sense of humor, so those are better for ME just to see!

Wasn't it a trip how empty TomorrowLand was! I'm glad I recorded it!

man do I have a lot of back tracking to do. Being sick really does bite the big one. I will try and catch up today and can't wait to see what I missed.

I know how you feel. I'm just getting back to the REAL me! It seems like most of my colds take about 2 weeks.

Awesome videos Glenda! You are a Trip report writing soldier!

I sent you a LONG PM about what I watched and graded each show, only to find out that your box is FULL AGAIN!!!! HIT DELETE WOMAN!
But you're right, this week has been like TV heaven. I have all 3 VCR's going and the TIVO! On ANTM, I was happy with who left! Bionic Woman, Chuck, Journey Man and Life were all good. And of course, I stared at James on Survivor again. WOW, he's really real! Doesn't he look like an action figure!

Can't watch the videos here at work, but will check them out when I get home tonight. Thanks for adding them!!!

Hope you can see them at home! I can't see some stuff at work either.

alright now I am caught up!! I see you missed the party for the HM & Thunder Mountain you bugger I am just glad you are feeling better.

Yeah Right! I was back in the room by 9:30. It was no way I was going to be able to meet you all at 10!

Great TR and love the HM video that is to funny. It went down while we were in line waiting to get on it and then all of the sudden it started to work again so they let people on and it did almost the same to us but for us we made it through to bad, would have love to seen the inside of the HM in the light

No, I don't think you would've been excited about that. Think about it, you're a DISer, you know it would've ruined your touring plan!

Thanks for sharing the video's. I love the one's in Tomorrowland. The only other time I saw it less crowded was when I worked there and we were not open.

WOW! So I really did pick a great day to go! Glad you liked the video!

Hey! So glad you found the report! I'm glad I thought to post the link on the Solos' board. I hope you have a great time in February. When you get back, please tell us how it was!
