"
Now the Food Rocks song will be in my head, "Veggie Fruit fruit, veggie, veggie, fruit, fruit..."
And I wish I could go back in time too. Not to change anything, just to appreciate what I had when I had it.
Very well put. But there is one thing I'd like to change from that first trip down. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS BEFORE I LEAVE THE HOUSE!
I think I remember mission to mars, was that where they took you up in a "space ship" that felt like it sucked you down in your seats?.
I definitely remember Captain EO, whatever happened to that nice young man, oh yea he went
.
Yep Shawn, that's it. I think originally it was Flight to the Moon, then Mission to Mars, then Alien Encounter, and now Stitches Mistake. And good icon choice for mr. Jackson. Now, can you come up with a good smiley for the original pilot on Star Tours, who was replaced when he was, um, caught dangling his participle, mr Pee Wee Herman?
There was lots of time between trips for me. I first went to the MK in March 1972 when it had just opened. I do remember the skyway, Peter Pan's flight, 20,000 leagues under the sea, and the Swiss Family tree house but that's about it. OH...and the jungle cruise. I also remember a big complicated ticket book? Not sure how that worked. Mom was in charge.
Next trip was the honeymoon. And I do remember Captain EO and Body Wars or whatever it was called. I almost needed a fanny pack.
Next trip was when we took the girls...in 2000. I was 5 months pregnant. Not many attractions on that trip...mostly just autograph hunting.
Yep...good times. Thanks for sharing yours too.
BTW....I love seeing you over at the trivia quiz. You're pretty good, too! I knew you would be.

Thanks for sharing Melinda. And not kidding, I missed that question. I could not think of a Nigel, period. I asked Smidgy and my son later, and they never heard of a Nigel either. After much pondering, my guess is he is the pelican, am I right? By the way, is Finding Nemo the Musical available yet on a Disney disk, or is it still just an Itunes thing? Since I have had the melody of the "Crush" song stuck in my head since February, it would be nice to be able to add some words to it! "Go with the Flow-ohhhhhh oh ohhhhhhh,,,,"
You were able t control a 13 yr old without any back talk?? What is your secret o'wise one?
Serioulsly, my 10 yr old's first word was.......why.
Oh really?
Why?
Sadly, that was the last time I was in control, it was like a dimensional gate opened up after that, adn I became a raving lunatic and an idiot, they always knew better than me.
Veggie Veggie, Fruit Fruit, Veggie Veggy fruit fruit!!!!!!!!!!!
Uh oh, I think she's losing it! Mo, Larry, cheese!
Gee thanks, Nebo, no I have that ringing in my head................
I'm surprised you can hear the ringing over the voices.
Now here is an idea for a new attraction!
"The way we were"
A show with clips of all the old favorite rides that have closed.
Parents could take the kids and torture them with memories about things back then. "when I was 13 .........., etc"
Actually, that might be a popular show with the "ahem" older crowd... and shouldn't be too expensive to do.
Wish they hadn't gotten rid of the "I have an Idea" program years ago, I might have won a nice stash of cash for that idea.
Thanks, Nebo, keep those memories coming!
Ok, welcome back, I like your idea. Here's how I would alter it though. It would be a big theatre attraction, showing clips from past attractions like Horizons and World of Motion, Cranium Command, Body Wars, Food Rocks, etc. etc. and it would be done in 3-D! I also have a homework assignment for you young lady, if you don't already know. Are they putting in a bigger pool at CBR? It's been closed for almost six months I think, and that is the one turn off at that great resort, where you started out working. By the way, I did ascertain, acsertain, ascertane, ,,, GET,,, your edit. You actually took the time to go back until you found the picture of my grandson, so you could remeber his name and post it.
YES! I am GOOOOOD!
I DO remember Food Rocks, but I amnot sure that I would go so far as to say that I miss it.
I am soooo going to the Adventurers Club sometime before they close it.
Java, do try to get to AD. Club. , sometimes it could be a riot, just be careful of the stools along the bar, but look around everywhere, there's stuff happening on the walls sometimes that is easy to miss. I also think the reason I miss Food Rocks is cuz that's one thing we haven't done to death. I'm already tired of Soarin', instead of California, I'd like to see the entire backdrop be over all of DisneyWorld, Daytona, and maybe the Keys. Instead of the golf ball coming right at you, it could be the Space Shuttle!
Yes, please do share your secret because my 11 1/2 yo drama queen is kiiiilllllllllllllllling me. And are you SURE your kids didn't fight in Disney or are you just editing out the bad parts in your memory like I do (otherwise we might not go back or anywhere ever for that matter!)? My kids don't discriminate... they will fight anywhere.
No matter what Smidgy says, the kids didn't fight that first trip, at all. And there wasn't any backtalk. Now, let's put the emphasis on the word, FIRST.
Two years later and it was another comedy series, "All Against the Family". or, "King of the Hill, NOT!".
We went to WDW and a WDW cruise October of 2005.
Now my girls then 9 and 11 fought all the time and still do. That week on vacation. No fights. In fact one of my favorite pictures of my girls ever.... was taken watching Cinderellabration. Back to us .... facing the stage... older sister with arm around the younger one.
Disney is magic.

That sounds great Bee. You know, if it was our first trip, and I had seen that, it would have been in black and white. Really. I lived the entire first trip down there looking out the viewer of my Sony Handycam, before they even had the swing out viewer, and it wasn't in color although you could later view it in color. Yeah, guess I'm old. And then most of the tapes were destroyed in the London Blitzkrieg.
I must admit after you mentioned Food Rocks I searched for it on
YouTube and watched it. Im so sad your trip is almost over but i am comforted knowing I can read your older report
(kind of like when you are so sad your trip is over and its always comforting to think about planning another!)
Jackie, I didn't know you could do that. I probably won't try because the puter is too old and can't really download video. But really, check to see if they have the whole Horizon's. There were scenes in there that just took your breath away. By the way, oh yes, I'm planning, always planning, but unfortunately right now it is all in my head.
I even have a list going of new stuffage to see.
New hurricane exhibit in Innoventions, new parade at Disney Hollywood Studios, Toy Story Midway Mania, Simpson's at Universal, new roller coaster going up there also. But the thing that has me most intrigued is the Harry Potter Island going up at Universal Studios, I can't wait to see what a real life Hogwarts looks like. They just have to have a "sorting hat" somewhere in there. I'm probably doomed to Slytherin.
I miss Food Rocks...and its predecessor, Kitchen Caberet! And Superstar TV...ah, memories.
I am disappointed about Adventurers Club closing...I have never made it there! Now it's a must-do for my next trip, since it will be my last chance
Yes, by all means do it. I want to know if the fat bald guy is still there, I didn't see him last time, and I worry about him.
Ok, coming up, the final little chapter on the december trip, and then if anybody wants, I have more pictures from the feb. trip, mostly resort stuff.
Oh, and I have ONE more stupid thingy I'm working on, nothing special, but sometimes, like Marita, you just have to give in to the voices. Yes, it will be just as stupid as the grocery store chapter and the Nebo's Abidged Too Far DIStionary.
seeya
suddenly, I'm in the mood to listen to Billy Jean.
until our plane lands back in Sioux falls SD
