MEL!!
Wonders will never cease. If you actually finish this one, tho', I just might faint dead away. For a while.
So glad you are making the third mother and child trip - What a special time for each of you! Can't wait to hear about the airplane trip. And the airport. Might we even hear about Magical Express this year? Find out where you STAYED??? (I was there last weekend, too. Did I see you? I'm guessing not since I don't remember yelling "MELLY!!!" Did you see me and run the other direction from my hellions, erm, umm, I mean, children?)
Stick around. Better yet, visit some heretofore mostly unvisited happy haunts! You have been missed . . .
Kitty!!!!!!!!! No I did not see you last weekend. Actually... I'm not even sure if there was anyone else in the parks. Then. Besides Calvin and myself. You must understand that I was trying to keep up with Calvin. Which takes some serious energy. BUT... had I seen you I most certainly wouldn't have run the other direction from your sweet little kittens. YOU... maybe...but definitely not THEM.
Heh heh.
Good to see ya Kitty!!! So good.
Mel is back to not finishing a trip report.
I am the one that loves the banter of pure "love and affection" between you and ZZUB.
Hey GJ'sM ~ Thanks for getting in on this and following along thus far!! I have to agree with ZZUB though. For once. It's not pure love and affection. We're completely OPPOSITE. We agree on NUTTIN'. We're like: hot and cold, thin and fat, left and right, smart and stupid. Guess who's who????? Heh heh. We're like bacon and eggs, lemon and lime, Salt n Pepa.
Uhhhhmmmm...
Wait...a...second...
CRAP!!!!!!
Let's move on shall we...
So good to see you back Mel! You've been sorely missed here on the Dis. In fact Zzub dissed you on his report just recently!
Looking forward to more of the story!
Hey Scrappy! Thanks!!! There's more story coming. I think.
Oh please Mel, you don't gently do anything
Sure I do!!!!! After a rather extreme and painful wipeout waterskiing a couple of summers back... NOW... I waterski very very very VERY gently.
Very gently.
Oh so gently.
BANANAMEN!!!!!
EEEEKKKKKK!!!!!
Be still my heart! I missed you so!
I had to be content with Mrs. The King.
Oh - and my newest obsession -
WARNING! This thing is NOT family friendly.
tuckermax.com
Anyway.
enough about me.
(I'm straight now! Did I tell you that?)
on to you and your trip report.
Heh hehheheheh heheh heheheh heh.
Oh, Celery. Celery, Celery, Celery. Celery. Celery.
My dear crunchy friend.
Good to see you.
Did I know you were gay? And now you're straight?
What have you been doing? Flipping your Yankeepenny to figure it out?
Heh heh.
Just kiddin'!!! I'm really happy to see you again and have you in on this new Happyhaunt adventure.
Roll Tide!!!!
You mean to tell me you're still writing this? I figured by now you would have abandoned it already.
I'd say based on the early chapters, abandoning it now is a good call. You know, before it becomes really obvious that you've again mixed Vodka with Benadryl.
Guess again, mojambo! That's not love and affection: it's more correctly termed, disgust and revulsion. Puke and hurl. Barack and Obama. Shock and awe.
Salt n' Pepa!!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh... push it... push it good
Ah push it push it real good!
Also, WWUB, if you think I'd have abandoned this trippie already...you're the one drinking the Mojambo Punch.
Here.
So.
Give me a couple more days. At least.
Heh heh.
I laughed embarrassingly hard at this. Soooooo glad you're back to writing these. I think it's great that you take your kids individually on some trips, too. Can't wait for more!!
Dude, I regularily laugh embarrassingly hard too.
Borg. Baybee.
I am beyond excited to see you back. I'm not sure what exactly is beyond exicted, but I'm there. With a can of squeeze cheese and cheez-its as a bonus.
Roll on rollercoaster...
Don't forget the Combos or you can't come!
Hey Mel!
Yes I did.
And I picked the winner.
Not that it mattered.
And - great packing chapter. Can't wait until you get to the plane.
Or the border. Or the airport.
Borg.
Mel, it's good to see you back.
Hi you nut you!!!! Back atcha!
Last edited by Yzma and Kronk : Today at 04:25 PM. Reason: Oh my - I think you were there when we were. Shelby thinks she saw you over by the DTD Pizza-by-the-slice place.
I KNEW I saw you. I even told my husband, "OMG, I think that's Mel!!!" To which he replied "Who the hello is Mel? Another creepy internet friend?"
Shelll- BEEEEEEEEEEE!!! We weren't at the DTD pizza place.
There's a DTD PIZZA PLACE?????!!!!!
Why the heck wouldn't I know that?????
Anywho... it must have been ANOTHER another creepy internet friend. (Hi ZZUB!)
How many unfinished trip reports do you have going now Mel? Three, four?
Here's hoping you can actually finish one. ;o)
Hi Mommy!!!!
Glad to see you are alive and kicking and writing another trip report. One never knows these things when your not around for a while.
I like Yak voted yesterday too, I am glad we don't wait months to vote or is it years over in the States... It seems like it anyway.
NAB! Good for you!!!! Voting is crucial. Glad you did. But if you voted Liberal you're now on ignore.
For real.
Having seen the banter on multiple Zzub reports, I HAD to start following your chronicle to see the "other side". I'll try to remain neutral and entertained by the war before me...kind of like the Swedish military. Enjoying the journey and looking forward to more.
Welcome aboard!!! (Why do I already really really really want to call you "Seabiscuit"?)
She did!! And we all laughed at her and told her no way. I wonder if it really was you?! Were you in DTD sometime around the 26th of September?? You have to stop these stealth visits during the Maelstrom Meets! One of these days we will trust our eyes and scare the bejeepers out of you and whatever member(s) of your family you've brought along.
Can't wait to hear about the too excited to sleep night, the departure morning, the rush to the airport, the plane ride (and whatever trouble got into on said plane), and ALLLLL the rest!
Off to watch the debate. Unfortunately, unlike you Canuckians, OUR campaign season has not yet ended. I'm counting the days...
Hey ASH!!!! So good to see you!!! I was NOT in DTD in September. I was camping. In the Great White Freakin' Freezing Already North.
Mel!!!
When I rode the Haunted Mansion, I called out to Madame Leota and yelled, "Look! It's Mel!"
Turns out there was a whole chorus of those "Look! It's Mels" ringing out of a half dozen or more doom buggys full of Maelstrommers. I tried to take a pic, but kind-of-sort-of accidentally-on-purpose forgot to use the illegal flash mode.
Hey Java!!! What's shakin'? Oh. I always try to take pictures in the Haunted Mansion too. Usually one flash picture per ride.
Which, I KNOW... is not encouraged.
By the massive hordes of rule-followers on the Dis here.
Who can bite me.
With the politest of raspberries, I beg to differ.
I don't hope Mel can actually finish one. I just hope she keeps starting them. The pleasure of them is eternal spring, with winter held forever at bay. It's the other shoe never dropping.
It's the decadence of taking just one bite of every chocolate in the candy box. It's never being disappointed by a self-indulgent, narcissistic, or plain silly ending. It's the anti-anti-climax. It's even freedom for the commitment-phobic. It's a little ADD and a lot brilliant. It's what Walt said his parks would be, forever unfinished, always works in progress.
It's Heraclitus not stepping in the same river twice. It's the Obelisk of Aswan. It's Schubert's 8th Symphony, Jane Austen's Sanditon, a pine nightstand I bought in 1994, and all my children's baby books. More than anything, it's promise.
If her muse allows, maybe Mel will take us back (in another unfinished trip report) to last year so we can get a glimpse of Beth's trip, too.
Just keep starting them. Or go back and reanimate a previous report. It's never too late to keep unfinishing.
Dude, so freakin' beautiful.
I'm think I'm a little choked up. Crap. I need to blow my nose.
Now... just where the doodle is Battle III Chapter 4...errrr... kleenex. I mean.
Alrighty... be back later.
Cheers, Mel.
But, but, but... it's just JUICE!!! 
I started reading your first trip report cause i'm all things about the Haunted Mansion,
haven't stopped laughing since.
Hi! V sent me over here too. THis sounds like it is going to be a fun trip
