Having a GRAND time - The Official GF Chat Thread PART 2

[arbonnette]

Yeah, Mandy, you and I are the same age, and I also avoid "frumpy" at all costs.

OMG Chan...I am LMAO here at school good thing no parents were in the office
I was with Andrea WTH is the big D??? I kind of thought that....

Andrea...I love swim skirts they hide lots!

Brook...omg bad for you on the toe issue at LTT...its never the little darlings fault

 

[Lives4Disney]

Chan your not the only one with kids who do stuff like that

I am sure V didnt think you were nuts just because of that phone call.... i mean seriously she knows you in real life very well

she probably has LONG ago decided you were a nutcase

Ya..but I always try and be on my best behavior in person.

She doesn't have kids so she is probably astounded by how obnoxious my "princess" can be.....Lucy is turning 12 and her TWEEN ness is showing...she is getting to be a bit of a drama queen.

I still have Jojo..."the good girl"...that's how she signed her Mother's Day card.

Chan, remember, even though V doesn't have kids, I am sure she sees kids AND ADULTS at the GF who act much worse than Lucy screaming about D in her own house.

Welll I happend to catch another episode of "Unwrapped" last night....

Now I want to try Cheerwine....cherry soda..and Blue Bell? Icecream..only found in like 16 southern states.....GEEZE...we have nothing that good in boring old IL.

It was like midnight when I was watching it and i was dozing in between commercials so not sure about the names...but the stuff looked sooo yummy...and I love cherry anything...

Bon Appetit

Chan

Chan- don't they sell Blue bell at Colonial???

Thanks for explaining the Big D to me too (My blonde hat was on and I just wasn't getting it!! )

Today was DS's last swim lesson (in the rain no less )but can I just admit how happy I am that I don't have to get up at 8am in the summer anymore!!!

I have to admit, the photo of the Whoopie Pie did NOTHING for me. But then again I ate McDonald's for lunch today for the first time probably since the airport in Florida and I am having "buyers remorse"

Take Care!

Colonial definitely isn't known for their food!!! We go occassionally for ice cream (Gotta love that PBF Chipper!!!) but I am not sure about the brand- I may be way off...

BTW- Hooray for the Sox crushing the Dodgers last night!! And even better, the cubs win streak at home came to an end too!!!

 

[Lives4Disney]

hey...I love ONE thing on the Colonial menu...their cranberry, walnut, blue cheese, and grilled chicken salad...Oh..sometimes i crave that!

Here here!!!! LOVE those PBF Chipper!!! I always substitue the peanut butter icecream for the vanilla or whatever...Idon't even know what's in it anymore...I have PB and Choc chip in mine. That's my sundae!!!

NO..they said this icecream is only sold in 16 or whataever southern states...It comes in short round containers like Edys...oh man..it looked sooo good at midnight!

Their icecream at Colonial is not so hot. It's all ice crystally and bleh. I only go for the peanut butter sauce & I HATE when they shortchange me on that!!!!

OMG...don't ya all just hate when you answer a question and then some other Disser comes along to just one up you and answer the same stupid question the SAME way only different....I just want to post...."Do I hear an echo?" or something.....Geese...It was a straight up simple question....but I guess I don't exist. Maybe I need to make myself
HEARD

 

[arbonnette]

OMG. That drives me nuts too. Wasting space. Ugh.

 

[praline3001]

Well chan as you have been to disney almost a 100 times I listen to you!!!! You have never steered me wrong and because of YOUR advice I have had 2 of the most magical trips ever this year!!! You know your stuff.... your answers are not mear guesses or gossip... you have the inside track on whats going on

I know most of the gals on here listen up when you hand out adivce.... rather than someone who stays elsewhere

why would I want to take advice from someone who doesnt stay at the GF more than once every few years? Shoot they most likely will dedicate their next building to you

 

[Lives4Disney]

THanks Brook...that is so sweet.

It's not even just me though....I am sure you guys have noticed....you know - somebody will ask how to get to the MK from the GF and there will be 3 pages of posts, haha....HELLO? it's a simple sentence answer.





Hey....my honey Craig Ferguson made a silly comment about "tangled sweaters" and I was thinking of you all.....

He said they are like capes for jerky rich people.

Thought for the day.

Chan

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Too funny about the tangled sweaters!

Ditto to what Brook said. When I first started reading the old FAQ before last years trip, I ALWAYS paid extra attention to what you said since you CLEARLY new the most about the hotel and could present it without seeming like a snob. KWIM??

I am watching old Seinfeld re-runs right now and the one where they get stuck in the parking garage is on!! This epsidode KILLS me!!!!
