GUESS WHO'S COMING TO FREE DINNER, or, Feeding Nebo,,,,completed

[PrincessV]

And then there was the Wilderness Lodge bed.
It tried to kill me, one shin at a time.
You know that two in the morning potty run? You don't usually turn on a light, just grope your way there, usually feeling the foot of the beds for guidance.
After the first evening staying there, I turned on the light from then on.
For some reason, the solid oak frame, which is actually made out of painted concrete, sticks out almost a foot at the end. The corner will get you everytime. I left more skin on the corner of that bed, than you see in a Paris Hilton video.

I called it the " Night of the Living Bed!"

Next time you're in the World, you can tell who's staying at the Lodge.
Just look at their legs.

So true, so true. We stayed there last Dec. and I've still got the indentations on my shins to prove it!

Still here and enjoying your TR

jluvsdis If you haven't already left, hope you and hubby have a terrific time. But if it was me, I'd say, " But we're still going in February, right?"

Tiggerbell If anything goes right at all with work, we're hoping to be down there iin may ourselves. Even got a few bookings already made just to make sure they're available. Hard Rock, yes, that place for 3 nights. And Coranado. The package will probably be made at CBR, reliving our first trip to Disney.

Having one problem here though. I'm serious about wondering what happened to "If it's tuesday, this must be Epcot." It is nowhere to be found.
And I'm now a little gunshy about continuing to work on this one, not knoweing what happened. I sent a personal message to the moderators,asking, still waiting for a reply. But I plan on having another chapter up later tonight, either way.

Thanks to all of you for responding, did you all notice how Melinda completely sidestepped the "Argyle" line? I don't think she got it.

 

[monymony3471]

I had to catch up. Happy belated birthday. Your birthday is the same as my son's. He turned 10 at WDW. That's why I had to catch up.

I have two words for you. Eye Candy.

Sorry Diane, but you know that already.

Ok, ready for more.

 

[lexmelinda]

Thanks to all of you for responding, did you all notice how Melinda completely sidestepped the "Argyle" line? I don't think she got it.

Well....I guess you're right. I didn't get it but looks like the mods bumped your first report because I found it so now must subscribe and become hip to the Argyle reference and find out how you coaked out by the pool.

 

[missmun52]

Just started reading your report and I just have to say that I am enjoying it very much!

You'll be in Disney right after me for the third time in a row???

Will you quit it? I'm trying to swim here. What? The ocean isn't big enough for you or something like that? You got a problem, buddy? Huh? Do ya? Do ya? You want a piece of me? Oh, yeah, I'm scared now.

Stop following me, OK?

Ok, I think it was in the words of Rosanna Danna danna, (something like that), and she said," Never Mind."
Evidently, my missing tr is still there, alive and active, just in a place that I couldn't reach it. Kinda like the pecan sandies that mom kept on the top shelf, knowing I'd have to be ingenious to figure out a way up there.

Ahh, but I did. And they were a whole bunch better than that Zwiebach crap she kept giving me when I was teething.
Oh yes, my memory goes way back. Way back.

mssmun52 hey, something like that, anyway, glad you're enjoying so far. hope you stay around.

Monymony3471,,, yep, that's a catchy title, what, was monymony3470 taken? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh no, you said something nice about me. I'm so used to dealing with the lexmelinda types, I got confused. I shouldn't say this now, this early, but trust me, this Bruce Willis fantasy bs is going to stop, when I post the Epcot pics.


And then we come to Melinda.
HA Ha Ha, You too funny. Yes, the mod bumped it up when I wrote her.
I didn't ask for that, I just wanted to know where it went.
And you subcribed.
I have to admit. That was good. You got me.
At least you know your e mail box won't be filled up with messages from that report.

hmmm, unless I post a sentance every day. hmmm

By the way, "Argyle" is the cabby who drove Bruce Willis to the Nakatomi Plaza , and could read him like a See and Say book. That was in the first Die Hard.

I don't think either one of us took our eyes off of Little Jimmy the whole time on the bus. We just kept waiting for him to come and try to do a fingerpaint mural on our bodies. And he was running around. Every time he started heading up to the front, I'd try to give him that evil eye. He's stop in the aisle, look at me, I'd give my best Glare, at him, and he'd just freeze, with his eyes open wide, staring at me.

And I'd start to crack.
I felt bad doing it, and he had such big eyes, staring at me. I was almost to the "c'mere little buckaroo, you can wipe your disgusting, chocolate covered grimy hands all over my legs if you want."

Evidently, he looked at my legs, and they didn't compare to the girl's back at the resort, and he'd run back to his seat in the back.

We were the first off the bus, and never saw him again.

That day.

It's a regular day there, no early entry, so we figured we knew what to expect.
Wrong.

Normally, from what was in place last may, you get through the turnstyle, then they let you up Main Street, and the ropes stop you from going into any "Lands".

Not today though.

After going through security, (she made sure to hand me the hand grenades and plastic explosives ahead of time to put in my pockets)
they checked her fanny pack. All was clear in her fanny pack. He waved me through with all the explosives and said "Have a magical day".

Through the turnstyles, and then we get stopped before we can walk under the railroad bridge.

We are right by the tunnel under the bridge on the right side, and I see a cm standing right by a rope.

Well, Diane is not happy with our location. She thinks that the gates in the middle section are going to be the ones to open up. I am like, No, they wouldn't waste an employee standing there for no reason.

Suddenly, Mickey and all his pals show up at the top of the station. It was so cool, music playing, the welcome greeting, " Good morning, good morning, doo, doo, de doo too, good morning, good morning, to You!"

Well, she still thinks we need to be over by the center, and grabs my hand and away we go.
I counted at least 3 videographers in the front row that have now got our heads running through their home videos. Then, when we got there, she looked around, and said, "maybe you were right."
And then we did the whole thing in reverse. Only this time, running in front of the videotapers, I expected to be shot. I hunched down as far as I could, but the back wasn't giving me much leeway.

Back at where we started from, I ignored her folly, and just got into the show. Man, what an upgrade, if this doesn't get you into the mood for the Magic Kingdom, nothing will.

The ropes drop, and we are on our way. We actually beat every single person in the center line , without even trying. Made it all the way to the end of Main street, the first ones there, bad back, bad foot, and all.

Today, we are doing a radical exchange from our "norm".
We always make a right before you reach the end of MainStreet, and head past the restauarant to Buzz, and then to Space Mountain.

Always.

I don't think we have ever gone this way before. Certainly not at this time in the morning.

At the end we see another rope, but as we approached it, she opened it up and we went through. When we got to Frontierland,,, another rope. By now we were down to only four of us. And the girl there made us wait about, oh, 32 seconds. Then she opened it.

Diane and I, and our two tag-a-longs, went right to Big Thunder.
Where another rope blocked us, with a cast member standing right behind it.

"Sorry folks, can't open the rope till the ride manager gives me the OK.

I looked at him and said, " I just talked to him, he told me to tell you to go ahead and open it up."

He said to me, " Her."
I said, " Huh?"
" He's a her"
" He's a her?"
" Yep".
" Does he know that?"
"yes, she knows that."
" Your sure, her?"
" I'm sure, her."

" Your sure, her, for sure, that I refer?"
( he was wavering)
" Yes, I'm sure that you refer to her."
" But are you sure I refer to the her that we confer?"
he was ready to crack, I could tell.

" So, you concur, for sure that the her I refer, is a her, for sure, and you won't detour?"

Diane gave me that look like, " Are you going to be this way all day?"

He started weeping.

"YES, YES, Maybe you're right, it wasnt a her, that I concur, for sure,,,,,,,,

" No further questions."

Then, to make him feel better, I said, " Well maybe she didn't have her make-up on yet."
He then opened the chain. As I walked past, I noticed his name plate.
" Hey, just be glad it wasn't a " him" Tim.

For some reason, the other couple behind us bolted for Splash Mountain. So the two of us walked on into the ride, alone.

We were the only ones there, totally. And walked down into the train. I had an idea, since there is nobody there, to show her my coaster expertise.
I said lets try the front seat.

We have ridden this ride many times before, almost always somewhere in the middle.
So those of you that know, this is really stupid on my part. There is NO front seat. The front seat is still right behind the locomotive.
But we rode it.

Kinda.

The train pulled out, and we were the only ones on it, sitting right behind the loco.
As we cranked up the hill in the cave, just before we reached the top,,,
somebody hit pause, on the btmr dvd. We stopped.
Now, I'm not crazy about when rides stop, except when they are supposed to.
My wife is less crazy about these intermissions than I am.
Especially on roller coaster type rides. I'm thinkin that " he" told 'Her", about the "no make-up line", and she wasn't pleased.

So, as we sit there, waiting for it to start up again, I can see she's nervous, so I try to make some trivial conversation to ease her fears and take her mind off of it.

"Do you remember last year, right about this time, that a guy died on this ride? Sitting in the same exact seat that we are?"
hmmm, didn't seem to have the effect I was looking for.
"Oh, but that was at Disneyland, not here."
Then the ride started back up. I think this is her most favorite ride in all of Disneyworld. But for some reason today, it took her about half the ride at least before she brought out the "permagrin". Yes, that's a word I just love that I believe came from a La La trip report, but it describes the person perfectly.

She was still smiles when we got off, and even mentioned that it seemed "Kind of tame" this time.
We walked back down the exit, and got right back in the line heading back up.
I saw Tim see us, and as we walked past, he burried his head in a rhododendrum. Once again, we are the only ones riding, so this time we take the last seat.
She normally asks me to keep my arm around her and I am always too happy to comply. Hey! what's better than your arm around your girl on a semi thrill ride? But, at strategic times, I would kind of lift my arm a little, to let her see the difference between front,,,,, and back. It really is like being on two different rides. When it stopped, we just stayed seated, and went around again. She agreed, " Hey, way more fun than sitting in the front."
I myself am not sure how the physics apply here, but you get a bunch more "air time" sitting in the back.
And that's a good thing.
When it pulled into the station again, we thought about going around for one more ride. But there was now two people standing in the last car line. And they were the only people there. So the operator said, " Sorry folks, you'll have to get out this time."

It was ok. We had a lot of fun. And I was starting to worry that the "permagrin" wasn't going to leave her face. Afraid it might have been stuck there. Did you ever see that movie, Dr. Sardonicus? Never mind.

Ok, that's it for tonight. everyone take care,

Stop following me, OK?


Hey Jamie, Yes, if things work out, we hope to be there. I really have my doubts at this moment though. If possible, maybe we can meet up if things align. And Diane won't have to go searching for the best "hand dryers " in the bathrooms for you this time.

Dude (and Mrs. Dude), I would love nothing better - unless of course you could deliver Johnny Depp dressed in just that hat from POTC, but I digress - and I am living proof that, just because you can't afford it, doesn't mean you can't go to WDW twice a year!

Nothing like traveling 1150 miles to meet someone who world 3 miles from you!

Two more things:

A.) I want credit for having to pop in the movie and copy down that scene!

And 3.) I'll be there April 28 - May 5. Avoid accordingly.

" Hey, just be glad it wasn't a " him" Tim.

Diane....do these exchanges really take place or is there some poetic license involved here? Just checking the facts. Nevertheless, hilarious.

Ok, that's it for tonight. everyone take care,

Was I in that group hug? Cause it looks like just you and Diane, Jaime, Marita, & Monica. Just sayin...

RE: Your other trip report. Put a link in your siggie already....geez. Then even you could find it when it gets buried. (let me know if you need technical assistance.) And that is some funny stuff, TFI!!!!! I read through page 5 last night....cause I'm a loser and that's what I do on Saturday nights....for fun.....at the holidays. But reading a completed report is like being on the trip report expressway (or I57...singing the Country Bears) with no waiting for a new installment. Hence I am working on the mother of all reply posts since I can't post after each installment....just so ya know.

RE: monymony3471....be nice, nebo! I'm gonna guess that 3471 might be her birthday. Maybe she was born in 1971 which probably wouldn't occur to you since you were not born in any adjacent decade. Just call her Monica.

RE: Argyle.....Thanks for the heads up! I would have never made that connection. Haven't seen Die Hard since it came out...when I much, much younger.

Behave....

 

[PrincessV]

Okay, you had me worried when you guys went for the front seat. What kind of coaster people are they? I'm happy to see you found the correct seating and stuck around for another run.

 

[monymony3471]

Nebo: To help with the key strokes, lexy is short for lexmelinda. She is a very smart woman. She catches on very quick, unlike some other people I know of.

 

[nebo]

Spiffy. Just spiffy. Not only do I have to deal with an angry Tiggerbell, and Jamie, I guess you are right once again. Our possible trip starts with us loading up the car on the fifth of may. And first stop is Uni. That was a great job with the "Dory" quotes , though. And that is probably, my favorite spot in the whole movie, I just love the look on her face.

So, let's see, I have the angry tiggerbells, and now the angry tag team of the M and M's. Melinda and Monica. So far, Marita hasn't joined you guys, now , there is a woman of class. Oh, and Melinda? Diane is here to answer your question.

Ahem. OOOOhhh! Hi! Girlfriends! Yes, Nebo is that incredibly witty, this just comes out of him when you least expect it. As far as I know, he doesn't have any poet's liscense. Chow, have a good one. Ta ta for now.

Ok, admit it. How many of you would pay good money to be here tonight when she get's off of work and logs on and reads this?

Sometimes, I'm not sure why I do the things that I do. I wish I had taken that class on "life", before I was born. night all,

 

[lexmelinda]

 

[nebo]

Holy cow! You guys all bailed on me I guess. Cept for Melinda.
I'll have you know that there is a reason I'm still able to type.

It's because I have a fine, understanding wife with a great sense of humor.

And also because she hasn't read that yet!

E.T. phoned home today during lunch, and after cha,,, talking for a spell, I finally asked if she got online last night or this morn.
Nope. No time. AH. Just wondering. So, she'll know its all in fun, right?
Poetic lisencse as "lexy" likes to say?
I'll be honest with you. Right now, I'm hoping that Rexxy can get it together.
The Bears start in a half hour, and , yeah, that's my weekly thrill.
Or should that be weakly?

So, God willing, and I still have my thumbs, I'll see you guys either tomorrow or the next day.

Should I be??

Well, duh, sorry, of course not, as I am a woman of class!!!!!!!!!

[smidgy]

ok, back from work. the bears and rex pulled it off. nebo was close to winning a square on the pool (for amusement only) but the rams chose to screw him up by scoring the touchdown AFTER the first quarter. I'm tired, beat, worked 3 nights in a row, have a big house to clean in the morning, and now I find out.... nebo thinks I am a valley girl? "girlfriends"? "ta ta for now"?
gaaaack! and if I EVER said "ciao" I would at LEAST spell it correctly; it's NOT a dog food! (Diane - bartender - diane from Cheers? don't ever commit a spelling or grammatical faux pas in front of me, I'll eat you alive).. course it has it's paybacks. when I goof up (which is rarely, of course) my customers NEVER let me hear the end of it .
lexy, whatever Nebo says is the god's honest truth (notice I didn't use a capital "G", don't want to quote the big guy in a lie;... just kidding). You NEVER know what's going to come out of Nebo's mouth . Seriously, It all works out fine, IF the people he encounters have a sense of humor. otherwise, I just walk away and pretend I don't know him. ("you following me? huh? huh?") ... thanks tigger, I think I'll use that line next time I want to crawl under a table, and there IS no table. "who IS that strange bruce willis wannabe behind me?"
(actually, I don't think bruce ever wore a Walmart fishing hat, of which nebo has in various colors and usually wears.. almost constantly, actually.. the WHOLE reason I talked him into shaving his head finally). on one road trip I was opening a juice pack for him and the juice spilled up out of the top of the straw, and landed on his white walmart fishing hat, which was by my feet. oh, oh, I'm in trouble now..... "don't worry honey, i'll get the stain out when we get to the motel, sorry" do you know, if you soak those Walmart hats in a motel sink, they SHRINK? when he put in on the next day, he REALLY DID look like mr. potato head!
ok, guess I'll go catch some zzz's on the couch right now. partly cause I don't want to wake him, he has to get up in a few hours, and mostly because I better get used to the couch... after he reads this!
