I do get to go! I do get to go! A trip that almost wasn't! Update 1/25

[tinkgurl]

He wasn't up for a chick flick, huh?

If he's like my guys, he'd like it just fine if it said anything about any other kind of war.

I like sweet guy-gets-the-girl movies, and they like anything with shooting and suspense.

Good luck to all of you girls and guys in school. Trent just got his diploma last week, so it's off to the real world now for him!

GUESS WHAT?! HE SAID WE COULD GO TO BRIDE WARS! It was so good. There were other guys there with their g/f's so I told him "See, you're not the only guy here!" Thanks so much for the good luck...I'll have my Bachelor's Degree in December!

I'm waiting for BF to get off of work too...someone has to bring home the bacon That sounds like a nice night, Yes Man looks funny. I'm DYING to see Bride Wars. We can go together lol BF and I got into a fight yesterday and my friend that I work with said I should wait until today and make him go see it with me to make it up to me that he was mean...didn't work out so well

You HAVE to go see Bride Wars! B/F said we could go once we got down there! I wish we could've gone together. I have a feeling we'd be doing ALOT together since we get along so well. And by the way....my B/F brings the bacon home too My job? Watching the little guy

So, if you know any interested parties, tell them to look him up. MeMom, the matchmaker, will be trying to hook him up so I can have the pleasure of more grandchildren.

He'd kill me dead two or three times over if he knew I was writing this!

Your secret is safe with us!

Oh I want to see both of those movies, and hopefully can convince Nick to see both with me. I will just not tell him what its about, or use the "I watched James Bond for you" story

As you might've read above..he said we could go to Bride Wars! It was so good! And OMG, I gave him that line today too! I said, "I went to Indiana Jones with you so you can do this with me!"

Okay. I saw just noticed the link in your posts so I had to come over and check out your thread. I went through all 10 pages. Wow girl...you have had some year. Good and bad. Sorry about the bad stuff.

You and your sister look so different! You're both knock outs though! I love the Tink tat and your newer one is really cool too. It has a lot of meaning in it and I like that. I think it's neat how you guys take pics at the Contemporary every year. Can I steal that idea? We've never even taken a picture there!

Your little cousin is adorable. He is lucky to have you in his life. Your family wouldn't happen to be John Deere fans would ya? My father in law in a big fan too.

Sorry for joining the TR so late but I've been away for a while and just coming back. Thank you so very much for sharing this TR. It looks like you had a wonderful time. I'm excited about going in June.

And like you I always get upset on the last day, knowing we have to leave..I know I'll get like that this time as well. But it was fun reading your TR!!

Since he and Kristi broke up, he is starting over. He'll find a new job and a new girl, and hopefully it'll be the start of great things for his future. He is such a personable guy and takes any job he does seriously, so whatever he ends up doing, he'll do it well. And, even though I'm his mom, I'll have to say I think he's pretty handsome, too, so he'll be a good 'catch' for a sweet girl, and I'm sure he'll feel that she's a good catch for him, too. So, if you know any interested parties, tell them to look him up. MeMom, the matchmaker, will be trying to hook him up so I can have the pleasure of more grandchildren. I didn't know he and Kristi broke up...thats a bummer because break-ups are just so hard to do. And he is definitely handsome (not trying to hit on your son or anything haha) so I'm sure he'll have no problem finding a new girl. Much luck to him in finding a job and for his future. I'm sure you'll get more of those adorable grandbabies and don't worry I won't even tell him you said anything

Good luck with all of your teaching stuff. There is so much testing now and so much pressure. Unfortunately, it won't take long for this profession to beat you down. We had another meeting today where we were presented a notebook full of new data on a program we were told we wouldn't be responsible for, but now we're told we are. It's alway something. I try not to get aggravated by it, because I'm glad I have a job, but even two of the new teachers were saying how ridiculous it was and how contradictory they so often are and how burdened they feel. Thank you! Speaking of testing I just picked up the review book for the LAST because I'm taking that in Feb. Then theres 2 more tests along with 2 workshops, fingerprinting on top of classes. Ugh! I'm looking forward to teaching but I know there will be some downs to go with the ups. Thanks for the info MeMom

And thank you Tink for letting me hi-jack you thread there!

You HAVE to go see Bride Wars! B/F said we could go once we got down there! I wish we could've gone together. I have a feeling we'd be doing ALOT together since we get along so well. And by the way....my B/F brings the bacon home too My job? Watching the little guy

Now I'm really dyinggg to see it! He mentioned going to the movies tomorrow night so I'll have to do my best to get him to agree to it lol I wish we could go together, that would be so cool. I definitely think we'd be such good friends if we didn't live a million miles apart Your job is definitely better than mine OR my BF's...mine=stupid bank teller, BF's=cable technician. I think you win by a landslide!

Welcome! I'm glad you joined! I'm uploading pics for a new update as I type this! Yeah, it was a crazy year. I know me and sis don't look alike. I'm my dad and she's my mom. Can you tell she got the Native American side? Which means a permanent tan all year around for her! Glad you like my tattoos! And yes you can steal that idea...but if you mention them in a TR, you MUST mention me. haha just kidding. Yeah the little guy is a cutie. Are we John Deere fans? I don't know how you got that idea Yes we are! We are from where John Deere originated!

I'm not done with my TR yet so don't go anywhere!

Haha, I don't care that you hi-jacked it for a bit.

LOL. The little guy does have his moments though...he's in his terrible twos.

Day 5: June 20, 2008

AK day! We got up, got ready, and caught a bus to AK. Sorry so short but I didn't keep track of every detail. Here we are on the bus:

Once we got to AK, we headed straight for EE to get fast passes! Can you spot sis and Dad?:

I don't remember exactly what we did that day and in what order. I remember we rode Dinosaur because that's one my favorites there and we did Nemo the Musical.

Here's our redneck photo of EE. We always ask for the back-best seat on the ride and the closest to the Yeti!:

After EE, we headed to eat at Pizzafari, our favorite lunch spot at AK. After we ate, we headed to Africa and got on the Safari.:

I can't remember what else we did, but eventually we wanted to head to WL and say hello to our old "home" because believe it or not, we were missing it. Good-bye AK!:

Sitting at the bus stop for WL:

We always take a picture on this bridge, but sis wanted to take it up a notch:

Then, we went to Roaring Forks and got some drinks and sat in the big comfy chairs in the lobby. Here we are just sitting down:

And sis kept taking picture after picture after picture. By this one, I was ready to slap her. :

When we were done, it was time to head to the GF for our dinner ADR at one of our favorites: 1900 Park Fare. We decided to catch a boat to the Contemporary and ride the monorail over. Here we are at the boat dock. Good-bye WL, we will never forget the fun we had there!:

Okay, 1900 Park Fare was our favorite meal ever! They just added the Step-mother and the ugly Step-sisters so we were excited to meet them. First we had to meet Prince Charming and Miss Cinderella:

Haha, he was turned to the table next to us:

****Continued in next post****

 

[tinkgurl]

Continued...

Then, we heard screaming and loud singing. We looked around the corner, and it was the Step-sisters! They were dancing and prancing around different tables. Eventually they made their way towards our section:

And here's the best sister ever! She made ugly faces and did funny poses in everyone's pictures. But for ours? She decided to scream right as mom took the picture. Which is why I'm laughing hysterically. She was a riot and played her part AWESOME!:

After we ate, we headed up to the monorail and went to............yep the MK. It was EMH night! I don't remember everything we did. But here's some pics from the people mover:

Then I wanted to walk through the castle and look around Tink's shop.

Outside Tink's shop:

Eventually, we went to our usual spot in Tomorrowland to watch Tink fly during Wishes:

Up next: That's a good question....I'll have to wing it!

 

[Disneyfan71]

Wow thanks for the pics of AK--i've never been there but looking forward to it the most probably. I love nature things and well I just want to go Looks like you had fun on EE!!! I love the pose

 

[tinkgurl]

That's right..you haven't been to WDW in awhile...well I can help you with ANYTHING...just ask away! You know how to PM me. AK is beautiful. But, it can get pretty hot there so make sure to have plenty of water handy. Plus, it is pretty spread out so have a game plan before you go so it's not like you're running back and forth all over the park. EE is so much fun! When you ride that, ask for the very back. And as you go up the big steep hill-look to your right, you can see all of AK. And then hurry and look way behind you, you can see all the way to the Contemporary and some of the MK!

 

[troobabiee7]

Ohhhh you switched it up a bit and went with Disney PANTS instead of a shirt this time Your Tink necklace is really cute too! I love all your pictures. I'm glad we're not the only ones who visit resorts we're not staying at just to lounge around and take in the atmosphere! The pictures of you and your sis at the WL cracked me up... I'm usually the one taking billions of pictures of my brother and I as he has the same look you do Great update!

 

[xoktenox]

I love your safari pics, they came out really good. The pic where you wanted to punch your sis in the face is priceless I will definitely be going over to WL to look around and see the beauty of it. I never have been there! And I'm really lovin your Tink pants too!

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

As you can see I didn't get any of the Native American coloring either! I tan nicely if I try but it's just not my thing. Most of my moms family has the dark skin + they tan! All you see are their eyeballs by the end of Summer.

Love all of the new updates! Peple mover (TTA) is one of my favorites! I could sit and ride it for hours.

 

[Goldeelox9]

I totally love 1900 Park Fare and hope we dine there again in November!

 

[punkin413]

Since he and Kristi broke up, he is starting over.

hey, memom - i was skimming the chatter and i happened to see this. i'm sorry to hear that - i know you liked her! i'm sure he will find another girl that's great for him and that you are fond of.

We always take a picture on this bridge, but sis wanted to take it up a notch:

it's the cheerleader in her!

And sis kept taking picture after picture after picture. By this one, I was ready to slap her. :

sounds like my brother.

same prince charming we had there - i thought he was kinda boring.

Then, we heard screaming and loud singing. We looked around the corner, and it was the Step-sisters! They were dancing and prancing around different tables.

i just love them! they make that dinner.

And here's the best sister ever! She made ugly faces and did funny poses in everyone's pictures. But for ours? She decided to scream right as mom took the picture. Which is why I'm laughing hysterically. She was a riot and played her part AWESOME!:

she's my favorite too. i heard her tell one little boy that wouldn't talk to her, "i know......you're just in awe of my beauty and don't know what to say. it happens a lot." and then the little girl next to us was dressed like ariel and she said, "you know, i get mistaken for her ALL THE TIME because we both have red hair." um....yeah, right!

 

[pixiefairy]

I came over to check out your TR from the parks board. I'm SO incredibly sorry that your family had such a tough year. The little guy is absolutely adorable....I think I see mischief in those blue eyes of his, lol. Reminds me of my 20 month old.

We were there the same time you were, but never in the same park the same time...until nighttime on the 20th. But...we didn't watch Wishes that night and we were trying desperately to get on PoTC since it'd been closed pretty much all week. I love all your pics!

Haha, yes! I love those Tink capris! And I'm glad you noticed my Tink necklace! We could easily spend a day just resort hopping (which we've done thanks to the monorail). Yeah she can be a little bit camera happy but she's alright.

I love your safari pics, they came out really good. The pic where you wanted to punch your sis in the face is priceless I will definitely be going over to WL to look around and see the beauty of it. I never have been there! And I'm really lovin your Tink pants too!

Yeah, I thought that was a good one to put on here! You HAVE to go check out WL! And outside, the geyser goes off every hour or so! I love those Tink capris too!

As you can see I didn't get any of the Native American coloring either! I tan nicely if I try but it's just not my thing. Most of my moms family has the dark skin + they tan! All you see are their eyeballs by the end of Summer.

Haha, it's alright. As you can see, I get red easily on my nose. I know, my sis tans before dances like Homecoming and Prom. I'm like "You don't even need that!" The people mover is wonderful. And I'm upset it'll be closed this year for us.

I totally love 1900 Park Fare and hope we dine there again in November!

I hope you do too! Love it!

It IS the cheerleader in her. She always poses. He was a boring Prince Charming. I was upset. They do make the dinner fun! I heard her say the ariel thing too! I just laughed!

I'm glad you've joined! Oh, he is using those blue eyes to his advantage. He knows if he comes over to me, leans on me, looks up at me and says "Pwease" I usually cave in.

That's funny we were there the same time. Maybe we were by each other that night?!

Did they say for sure they were going to close up TTA? Why not just block the Space Mountain construction? Man, that blows! There's no telling how long it'll take them either.

I've been hearing it a lot on here... I was hoping they'd just block the Space construction too! Maybe there's no way to keep the people mover open while they are working on Space?

 

[scottny]

great update and pics.

I think we might try 1900 park faire next time. we have a few little girls going who might like it.

 

[addictedtothemouse]

The pic of your DS wanting to slap the Prince . I was thinking of adding a dinner at 1900 PF now I know I'm going to.
