Hope I'm counted in those "8 fans"
Are we all doomed to become our parents? I worry so much about this!

I went to Disney with my MIL before she was officially my MIL... what a pain that was . I feel your misery, Kanga! lol

Sorry for all you've been through...(including the MIL!) Hope you come back soon and finish. It's good therapy and I love your TR!

 

[Crazy Kanga]

Wow, I thought my trip report was lost forever. I guess I'll try and remember what happened that last day and post in a little while.

 

[Disneyolic]

Get outta flippin' town! I almost got excited when I saw that you posted only to leave me less than excited! I still love ya tho!

Never! I love your TR...I was even thinking of going back to the beginning and refreshing my memory!

Well at this point, I think I need to go back and re read it myself it has been so long. OK here goes... The last day was relaatively uneventful. We were all so worn out from the previous days dramas. We got up early for EMH at Epcot. When we got down to the boat dock a boat was just pulling off so we were going to have to wait for another 15 minutes or so for another which would have made us late, so we walked over which only took about 10-12 minutes. We got the wheelchair and boogied on over to Soarin'. This time we waited to get to ride up front. It was worth the wait. I just love that ride, especially with shoes off. You really must take your shoes off to get the full effect. I even told this old guy next to me and he did it although with a look of reluctance, as if I was going to hurt him or something if he didn't do it. Man who does he think I am, Oblivia.
Anywho we went on Living with the Land and then on to SE and U of E and then came back over later for Nemo which was a bust. What a waste of time. Even my ds who loves Nemo thought it was lame.
Then we did Test Track which was a hoot seeing Oblivia on a thrill ride. Sorry I don't have a picture to share. Then we headed around WS did Mexican small world, Maelstrom and had lunch at Lotus Blossom in China then watched the circlvision movie which I really love for some unknown reason. After that we went over to American Adventure and then headed back to the room. DH and my youngest son and I decided we wanted to hit RnR and ToT one more time while Oblivia and my other son took a rest. So we walked over,which was quite a hike, but it was fun. Later we decided not to go to MK as planned, but just hang out at the Boardwalk. My friend who is a CM came by after work to have a beer or 3 at Big River while Oblivia and the boys watched the mime/magician.
The next morning as we were preparing to leave my dh and I were sitting out on the balcony enjoying the view. He had a strange look on his face and then he uttered words I never thought I would hear him utter..."We need to come back soon." You see he is not nearly as big of a Disney Geek as I am, and really hates parting with money for such intangibles as vacations, but humors me, so I was quite surprised at this announcement. I looked at him puzzled and then it dawned on me what he was really saying. "Oh, I get it." I said. You need a Do-Over. He silently nodded his head, and that is how the summer trip was born. And the adventure begins... in 8 days!

Thanks for the tip! I probably should take off my flops anyway, don't you think?

Nemo lame? How about for my age kids? (7, 6 & 2)

And I thank your DH because if he had not said that I may not be meeting you & your family at the AK!! I'm so happy!

JUst a little epilogue. The last 3 trips we have taken to Disney World have been with other people. 2 summers ago we went with friends of ours who are fellow Disney Geeks and we had a great time, but traveling with 8 people can be stressful, no matter how well you get along. Then last summer we went with DBIL and SIL our niece, her friend and our nephew, so that made 9 to keep up with and figure out "what do you want to do, I don't know, what do you want to do?" Again, we got along great and had a great time, but we couldn't just do "our own thing". Then the dreaded Oblivia trip was definitely the straw that broke the camels back. We needed a DO OVER! This time just the 4 of us, doing all of our favorites, on our own time schedule! We are looking so forward to that! Thanks for sharing the Oblivia journey with me my fans...all 8 of you ! A group of us known as the June DIS Stalkers,including our illustrious leader DM(Disneyolic) will be doing a group trip report about our end of June adventures which will include lots of pics and stories of our June Dis Stalker meets as well as some Crocker Focker photos, so please look for us... coming soon to a thread near you!

 

[Disneyolic]

I can relate to the "big group" situation, Laura! Our first trip to WDW was my immediate family (parents and us four kids) and my aunt & uncle and two of their children - so we were 10 in total.... This was before Epcot, so there were less things to do, but still... every line or restaurant we came to, a CM would say, "how many in your party" and we'd say, "TEN!" and they'd say, "ooo....." and look directly at my uncle. Finally, he said, "THEY"RE NOT ALL MINE!!"

 

[LISAMWDW]

Crazy Kanga,

Hope you have the best trip ever!

Hey CK,

Another fellow stalker here who just found your TR and I just read the entire thing and really enjoyed it, even though your vacation seemed miserable with your MIL. I am so glad you will get the do-over you deserve and so soon too! I hope your upcoming trip is everything you hope it will be and more!
