Honey, I Shrunk the Checkbook, Really final, some Feb shots, 7-27, pg82.

it was NOT oragami... it was what all good lutheran moms showed their "chilluns" to keep them quiet in church, with a Handkerchief. so... I showed her "babies in a blanket" and told her the history. wouldn't you know? she showed it to the table next to us, who said..."I KNOW THAT!! my mom showed me that to keep us quiet in church!.(WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT?).. if you eat there and they do that... it came FROM ME!!!! but, beware, they will stick silly straws in your head.
 
all kidding aside, if you are in the "world" over the holidays, try to get over to wilderness lodge... beautiful!!!!! we loved it! (once I woke nebo up:rotfl: ) ok that's why he and I can never put kidding aside... that's why we work... either you are joking... or ... romantic... or um... both
you need to enjoy disney at christmas (or anytime) with the people you love best:hug:
 
Can I change the rules and go backward this time? Maybe I should do a trip report that way. You know, start out the trip by unpacking the car,,,, nah, Seinfeld tried that and it was one of the worst episodes ever.

it was NOT oragami... .

Does anybody remember the countless times she has corrected my spelling? Hmmm?

Just found your report and the title sucked me in :thumbsup2 I'm only through the 2nd installment so I've got a bit of catching up to do :rotfl:

Time to get back to reading :surfweb:

Hi Chelli, nice to meetcha! There are a lot of good reports going on right now, I've always said I wished they could come out in book form, so I could read them in bed at night. Look for the names, Utahmama, Leelee2u, Ch'smom, Snowbell, Lovebuzzandwoody, Montanadisneyfan, winkers, Tiggerwannabe's is great for pictures, Kindakrazy, PrincessV, Javamom, and now I'm going to get in trouble for not thinking of someone's off the top of my head.
I have found that the people that post here have the same kind of sense of humor that I do. Whether that's a good thing or not,,,,,?

Nebo, did your server have long silvering hair??

BTW, glad that you didn't get PW'd again.

Speaking of Javamom, I don't think she had silvering hair, but for as observant as I was that evening, she could have been bald for all I know. And even though I know I started it, I think I'm going to leave the initials thing alone, know what I mean?

Don cha know the only time a girl's gonna take off her clothes in public is when her best friend is there doing it too?

Now you tell me, and I make friends really quickly! Oh wait, that would have meant,,,,,would it have counted if I went to the rest room with her like all best girlfriends do? Shoot, that didn't come out right either. Um,, um, never mind.

Great update:thumbsup2 Love the hat smidgy. HAve never eaten at WCC, but I have heard about the ketchup thing:lmao:

And always make sure to tell them you spent the day at Universal, or at least wear a T-shirt from there.

Nebo, great update!!! Thanks!
Ok, let's do this in a code form, it'l be like watching an old Woody Allen movie, when he was still good.


Yes, I do! :scared:
I figured you would, though I had to splain it to Smidgy. Let's drop it, ok?


Seems like a good start! :thumbsup2
I thought so too.

Shoulda brought more along.

Wouldn't have done any good, the more you take, the less they work.

:wizard:

:headache:

We are going to make sure we ride that this year. Have never been on it.

It's not as good as Men in Black, but with us the left seat is always the winning seat.

Rookie. Even I know what to hit for some great points, and I've never even been on it. Read the DIS more. :snooty:

I did read. But you can't hit what you can't find.

:sad2:

I've been feeling a little morose lately myself.

One of our favorites!

"Calling Tom Morrow. Calling Tom Morrow."

OMG!!! Awesome!
ok, I'm guessing here, picture? It's cool when they first light the castle up. One quadrant at a time.


Someday we'll get to see the Christmas lights.

That was nothing. I put a 100 bulb string around my garage door this year!

What, you didn't want a relaxing dip in the lake before dinner? :confused3
It wasn't that. I just didn't want to get in trouble for "lake hopping".

Shoulda woke ya up, though.

Bobcat Goldwaithe couldn't wake me up when I'm asleep.


She looks good in the hat!

She looks like an idiot in the hat.


Poor Nebo. No show for you tonight. :sad2:

That's right. Youth is wasted on the young.:mad:
 
Sunny D in one hand, little airplane bottle of rum in pocket one, little buddy friends in pocket two.

Park Touring essentials,eh.


castle035.jpg

Love the castle pics, so pretty

By the way, did you ever wonder what Wishes looks like from my little friends point of view? Or was it the Sunny D? I'll show you.

badfireworks034.jpg
:lmao:

I got that "look right through you gaze" and he just pointed back the way we came.

Do you get that look a lot?
I gave myself a high five for not walking off the pier.

Way to go Nebo!

, so comfortable, so comfortable, soooo,,,, commmmforrrrt,,,,

"Steve!" 'What are you doing?" "Are you sleeping?"

"Huh?" "Wha"?

"No sleeping yet!"

"OH, Auntie Em!"

Yeah, the drive and being on the go finally got me. So I grabbed two candy canes off the tree and broke them in half to prop my eyelids open.

I almost did the same thing on the orange couch at 50'sPrime Time waiting for my ADR last October.

"An object in motion, stays in motion." Newton's law.

Who knew Nebowas a phycisist? Or whatever those guys are called.

Then she brought me out a plate with TWO full ears on it.

Well, you did ask for corn!


Looking good!:thumbsup2


By the way, whatever you do in that restaurant, don't ask for ketchup!

First time I ate there about 10 years ago, before I had interent, and I had no idea about the ketchup:headache:
 

Thanks for another exciting installment, Nebo! Wasn't MVMCP a blast???? Nothing beats the parade and Christmas Wishes!:cloud9:

Isn't WL beautiful at Christmas??? It's so peaceful.

Diane.....I learned the babies in a blanket thing in Church too....must be a Lutheran thing! I forget how to do it now though, tried to show my daughter, and just can't get it right...maybe that's a good excuse for a trip to WDW and a meal at WCC.:rolleyes1

Diane, You look so cute in that hat!!

Nebo, great Castle pics!!! So beautiful.....the one thing we missed that we really wanted to see was the castle lighting ceremony....I have heard how incredible it was.

Can't wait for the next installment!
 
It's thursday..isn't it time for a date? Or did your schedule change?

YEAH, YA ARE!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: I demand an ODE... or at least a Dr. Seuss rhyme!!!
 
Great update Nebo, your Castle photos are beautiful and I'd never considered WCC but it sounds good and Dianes hat is cool :rotfl:

Aw, shucks, Nebo. :blush:
And I didn't think you had even noticed. :rolleyes:


Hey... how's about an update? :confused3
 
"Listen, doo wah doo, do you want to know a secret, do wahh doo, do you promise not to tell?"


Boy.
Boy oh boy.

First of all, you're going to just hate me.
Second, you're going to think I'm nuts!

Don't blame Smidgy, it's my fault.
Yes indeed, totally my fault.

She is just a pawn in my demented madness.

It is five o'clock as I type this.
We are hitting the road in less than 8 hours.

"They're coming to take me away, ha ha. "

Really, don't blame her.

I do believe I have said before, this is my first time in my life I've been on unemployment. It's the truth.

And it is also running out!

We really do want to move down there sometime in the very near future, just can't afford to do so now. So I was able to justify one more trip for reasons of exploring differnet areas, that we might be able to lice in.

So, this is a research trip, if you will.

No no, that's "live in" not lice. Geesh!

Yes, we will also stay a few nights in Disney, gotta, have to, no choice in the matter.

Boy, am I telling this herkyy jerkyy enough?

We are leaving once again at two thirty in the morn. Spend a few nights at our fav. CS, then move over to an "America's Best Hotell" in Kissimee. Then go back and stay a few nights inn Movies. Going to use a lot of time just driving around, , checking out different neighborhoods, and being cheap.

Nope, no dining plannn this time, lotsa sammiches in the room plan.

Should we do this? By no means.

And I'll be completelyy honest here. My little pea brainn mind has been working on this for the last 2 weeks. But the rooms were all taken.

Honest, no kidding. No room at the inn for you!

And then I tried one more time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

It's funny how "middle aged crazy" can hiit you.

Did I mention we will be going in my brand new '09 Corvette?

"Would you believe a '92 Yugo?"

Ok, ok, she is packing up the Santa Fe as I'm typing this.
C'mon baby, you can make it again, can't you?

(the car, not her)

What helped was the 9 inches we got last night, and no Cheri and Monica, I'm not making that part up. Oh wait, that was Maraena too.

I don't need 9 inches. Shoot, I don't want any inches.

I will be totally honest with you. Yes, I just may be losing it. We should never do this, not without jobs. But, again, it might be ages before we can go again, considering the vacation status once you get new jobs.

And, yes, I will probably be a complete nervous wreckk when we come home, have to find work immediately.
Just be glad that it will be Diane in the car, and not you.

Just blame it all on my son, Jeremy.

Remember? He's the one that finally gave me the digital camera for Christmas. And I refuse to take any more pics of the cats. Besides, ever since the ceiling mirror broke,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I just want you to know that we love all of you very much, and please remember us in your Dr. Suess books when you read them at night to the kids.

Hmm, that almost sounded like a eulogy, didn't it?

Ok, gettin late, can't see, Mama? Is that you?

Great, I just thougt about how the last rip started, with an emergency stop at the oasis. That had better not happen again!

TRIP! Not RIP. Trip!

Geesh! Is that a typo? Or a "Spoko"?

Or something about some girl named Frida's Slip?

:hug:
 
OMG. WTG to go. Have a fabulous time! Check out Polo Park it is on US 27. Take 192 West till it ends and get on 27. Polo Park is on you right at the first light. 55 and over community. You'll like it:thumbsup2
 
I can't just leave it at that for now, but I don't have the time to come up with anything worthwile to read.

So I'm going to prove it to you.

As I was soaking in a tub this mornng, and deciding " Heck with it, let's go!"

I started thinking about the tripl reports I've messed up.
And my heart soared thinking that, " Yes! I am good at something!"

Messing up trip reports, that is.

Kinda funny.

When I first started a year and a half ago,, I didn't think I was too bad writhing this stuff. No, I'm not sayin that it's good stuff now, but I went backk and read something from my first report.

The result was ,, I turned a lighter shade of pale reading something I wrote when wee first checked into WL, in '06.
Back then, I was desperate for posters and readers, and,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Holy Cow, does it show!

Sorry I haven't been able to finish the call outs, we love you guys unconditionally, see you in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Captain Kirk and Mrs. Spock! :scared1:

For the World is Hollow, yet I haven't touched the Sky

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Star date: May 13th, 2006, saturday, approximately 1:45 pm.

Captain's log: After an exhausting day exploring
Alpha Gamma Epcot, Ms Spock and I beamed down to a newly
colonized planet, Wilderness Lodge.

Our datum shows them to be receptive to travelers, but so far
our experiences with the locals has proven to be less than satisfactory.

After finally receiving fortification from the uncoordinated nutrition
dispenser, we headed over to the cement pond over by the Villas.

Communicators and tricorders off, we settled into a couple of reposing
chairs for a bit of R and R.

I did make note that this seems to be an impoverished area,
in that the female unit next to us was barely covered by a cloth that
only seemed to cover her reproductive organs.

It didn't take me long to think that something was amiss.

Most of these reposers were empty. Unlike where we just were.

"Miss Spock, what do you make of this?"

"Well Captain, ( yeah, right), this is highly peculiar that
the reposers here are empty, considering that the central hub
we just passed through is teaming with indigenous natives.

oh,

Huh?

As I contemplated this great wisdom, ( yeah, no ship sherlock) the
answer soon became apparent to me.

Within 3 minutes of settling in, I noticed this alien life form buzzing around my ear.
Which was followed by another by my left ear.

Of course I leapt up, and began swatting at anything that moved.
Ms Spock raised her eyebrows and looked at me quizzically.

At first they looked like wasps.
NO, I'm not talking white anglo saxon protestants, those are scary enough
I mean bee type wasps.

Within seconds, I calm down, realize they are not hurting me.
Ms Spock is another story.
She is now jumping up and down, waving the towel, throwing her hard earned drink in the air, and, I believe, swearing in Vulcan.

God, she looks attractive.

As Ms Spock is screaming and diving head first inot the water, I converse with a native and discover that these creatures are harmless, they look
like wasps because the male attatches itself to the female and they fly
around that way, together.

They don't bite, sting, or do anything but annoy you by landing on you.

The biological and scientific name for these creatures
is called " Love Bugs."

When she emerged from the pool, I explained to Ms Spock...
These aerodynamic aliens mean us no harm, it's just what they do.

"Captain, might I remind you. That this planet is populated
with life forms unfamiliar to us, and that we, are the aliens,
not them."

Ah!, communicator out.
"Nebo to Enterprise, Ms Spock to beam up please."
"Nebo out."

Ok, I woulda cracked if I had to keep talking that way.

We put up with the love bugs as long as we could, can't help thinking why
weren't they at the French Quarter?

I had another mission to accomplish first, I had read somewhere,
on some site, you have to see the view from the roof.

And,,,, the site said you can do this any time, you don't have to be
a " flag family" in order to do this.
For those of you that don't know, a "flag family" is chosen by the WL
Prior to the next morning.

The whole chosen family gets to go up to the roof at 7: am and
raise a flag. Well, we tried to get up there. Nope.

Not a chance.
The concierge level one flight up kept stopping us. you need a special
key for those elevators.
Even talked to a couple cast members , unh unh.
NO roof for you.

So, we went back to our room and relaxed and got ready for our dinner at
Whispering Canyon, yeah, still have one table service left, good
till 12 that night.

Heading down to dinner that night, I think I've got all the bases covered.
Dinner at 7:30, a cocktail down by the pool bar, then watch Wishes,
from the Magic kingdom, followed the Electric Water Pageant.

All we have to do is get down to the beach for this.

Ok, how many of you Dis vets are laughing your asp off reading this
nonsense now.
For those of you who don't know, you'll have to wait till next installment,
probably tomorrow, I'm done, beam me up Scotty.
 
:cool1: Nebo, I noticed you are from Carpentersville! we are from Algonquin. I read your post about Ray Raynor or Bozo. I was on Bozo and got chosen to play a game back in the 70's!!! We are staying at POR this April, love that place!
 
UN-FRIGGIN-BELIEVABLE!!!

I suspect that someone should be the voice of reason but that ain't gonna be me! I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone on here willing to be the voice of reason! A bunch of enablers, that is what we are!

So I say...

HAVE A GREAT TIME AND BE SAFE!!!

See ya when you get back!
 
I say go for it!!!! I find the voice of reason to be very nasalie and annoying. Kinda like Fran Dresher! Have a great time and I'll expect a full report when you get home!:loves

I'm not sayin nothin about your 9 inches!:rolleyes1
 
Well I guess this means I have time to go check out some of those other trippies you recommended ;)

I think "research" is very important, so of course you must go :cool1:
 
WOW! Such news. Good luck on your trip and have a wonderful, relaxing time! And hopefully you'll find your future home & job while you are down there!
 
GO FOR IT!!!!
Who knows may be that next door will open for you and Smidgy.
Everything happens for a reason.

And um, I won't mention the 9 inches either:rolleyes1
