How Much Do You Ladies Charge to Haunt the Castle? -- Departure Day up (See index

[pinkxray]

Cape May sounds a bit disappointing. I always avoid it b/c DH is allergic to shellfish so I am kind of glad it's not a fantastic experience I am missing. I would like to try it one day, but it can stay on the bottom of the list for now.

Yay for beating Mark at TSM. I love that ride but just hate the whole rope drop/fastpass drama. I wish they would just build a few new things at DHS to take the heat off TSM.

Love the hat pictures, glad Mark didn't give them up

Looks like a good start. I still haven't tried TSM...just don't like HS enough to get there for rope drop. It's usually a sleep in day for us. Maybe next time. But I did get to try Star Tours for the first (and second and third) time in July and I loved it!

 

[IheartDDuck]

I am absolutely in agreement with getting on to the fun!

Mark totally pulled a move my Dad does all the time. Forgetting his AP in the room.

That's some great accuracy. My BFF Farrell said to me that her accuracy was better than mine. I said to her "screw accuracy, I just want the points!!!"

OMG, they have a hat of the Hoth Monster at the dump shop for Star Tours?! That's awesome! And if you don't know what I'm talking about, it just solidifies my dorkiness (it's the white one). If you do know.....that's awesome.

Great hat photos

I'm joining in and I promise I'm not going to get lost this time. I agree with you about Cape May, I am a crab legs fan, but the ones at Cape May are kinda lackluster. We're going to try Fulton's in April, and hopefully they'll be a little better there.

Great job getting to DHS for rope drop and I think you guys did awesome on TSM. I also loved your photos from Star Tours, I'm happy you can still find Captain Rex!

Looking forward to more!

Hi Kathy! I was way behind but I'm all caught up now... I don't know HOW I missed the news about Mark's mom. I must have had my head in the sand. I'm so sorry for your loss!

And so sorry to hear about your mom too. I used your links & I haven't read all of the comments so I don't know if you've given any more updates but I hope she is doing well in the new facility.

I'm glad you made it to your happy place & survived travel day! Glad you've moved on to day 2!

 

[jenseib]

I am more of an accuracy person myself.

 

[amandaw]

Yay! for getting on TSM first thing! Ed always beats me, too. But, my accuracy is always slightly better than his. Hmmmm....maybe we should forget about accuracy all together & we'd beat the guys?

I really like the dump shop at Star Tours. I can always find fun things in there.

The R2D2 ears pics are priceless. Good work Mark

Yay for TSMM first thing! Speeder thingie pics! Maddie would be so proud

The food was good, but nothing spectacular. The crab legs were too much work and didn't have a lot of flavor. I'm not sure we would go back. However, the company was wonderful. Kat, we so enjoyed meeting you.

Sorry to hear you were a bit disappointed in Cape May. But in a way I'm glad to hear that. I was beginning to think I was abnormal (I am, LOL) because it seems like I am the only one who has not been impressed with Cape May; both for dinner as well as breakfast. Perhaps it's because I'm just not a real big buffet fan.

Ooooh Ms. Kat, I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience at OKW and at Cape May.

With your handsome hubby going through the loss of his mother and you going through the craziness of your mama, I'm sure the last thing you needed was rude CM and nasty attitude well into the evening. No excuses for that.

I love the picture Niki found for you, and your bosses wife sounds like a really nice lady. What a treat to have people looking out for you like this.

The picture with Alisha is really pretty. Y'all look beautiful together, I love how your face lights up when you're around her. You've really taken her in as your family already, trust me when I say how important that is.

Your shake looked yummy by the way, I'm wondering what other yummy drinks you like to have while you're in the "World".

My son Tyler wants to go back to WDW once he's legal so he can try all the yummy drinks he's seen me have on our last trip. I need to collect a good list! I think my next trip will be during the Food and Wine, that way we'll be sure to try lots of yummy everything!!

Hope your trip get's better after your evening of heck.

By the way, loved the Chewbacca (wow! looked up the spelling of Chewbacca to make sure it was right.....it was right-what a nerd I am ) hat Mark had on!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Well, I think it is time to get this vacation rolling and on to the fun. What do you guys, think? Good, glad to see you are in agreement with me.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

At 7:45 we were out the door. Mark, unfortunately, forgot his AP so had to go back into the room.

I wouldn't expect a veteran to make that mistake.

Ahhhhh….here he comes.

Is he still wearing that Blackhawks hat?

Before we got in line, we did stop for Fastpasses.

Doesn't look like the TSM line was too bad.

Since we were here, it was time to hit Star Tours

Good call there.

Our first "dump shop" of the trip:

Awesome hat pictures!

 

[afwdwfan]

Looks like a great morning in the Studios, with some nice hat pictures.

I just have to say congratulations on being more accurate, but we all know is is the big number that counts.

 

[pas130]

Thank you for joining. He's a very good hubby.

I am really enjoying the tr!!! TSM with a short wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the OKW pics and hat pics

She never lets me down. I couldn't believe she found it first store. I can't wait until it gets here. I sent her a check and showed the picture to my bosses wife and she said "give me the bill...it will be your birthday present."

That is great!!! Nicki made a great find by the way (but you know that ) LOVE the print!!

 

[emmysmommy]

Hi there Kathy! Ahhh Mark and his silly hats - love it. It really has become his tradeMark!

Glad to see you the victor with TSM - who cares about accuracy when it's the score that counts - at least that's what I say to my DH when I win but when he wins then I say at least I'm more accurate. Gotta have it work both ways!

Just last trip we discovered the umbrella pole - I love those photos of you!

 

[mommy2mrb]

cool you got on to TSM so quickly, we LOVE that ride!
love the photo of Mark with the Wookie hat!

 

[FreezinRafiki]

I hate to point it out Kathy, but accuracy doesn't matter when you have unlimited ammunition.

And by now, do CMs working in the stores recognize Mark and whisper to each other "hey, here comes the hat guy again."?

 

[mickeystoontown]

What a great start to your day! Well, after Mark went back and got his AP, it was a great start to the day.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

i always feel like im going to pull the rope thingy out of the gun on TSM, but a small price to pay for using the quick trigger.

hmmm, trying to pull a fast one and posting a picture from the trip last year huh?

 

[englishrose47]

Keeping up with the chatter !! I am still trying to get caught up with all my "to do" list and I have a long way to go ... 7 more Memory books , uploading the pix (if PB cooperates), trips to bank and bills to pay the list just doesn't end !!!
