Jen and Brook's Excellent Adventure

[JKSWonder]

Well evidently Dicks last name is a no no on Dis because it's been starred out, but I think you know who I'm talking about.

And yet, his first name shows up just fine. Go figure.

Hi Jen and Brook I have been posting on Brook's current TR and have finally made my way over and caught up - a little late but better late then never right?

I can't believe how close your trip is getting. I can't wait to read all about your experiences as a TA - love that you are going to see the Dream again and all the other tours you will be going on. I'm also looking forward to seeing how you find Movies compared to your favourite Pop.

Brook - I love your countdown calendar and you sure have a lot packed in for the first few days that you are spending with Joe and Henry. Can't wait to hear all about SAB again.

I'm sure there are other things I have forgotten about (love the matching shirts!) but have a great trip!

I am thinking if I like AS Movies that 1 night, we may try it next as a family. Pop proces are going up next year compared to the other Values, so I'll have to weigh out my options.

I have always wondered why Pop didn't cost more than the All Stars Resorts in the past. I have stayed at Sports and Movies, and then when Pop Century opened, I just couldn't go back to All Stars again. I took a bus ride over and looked around at Movies and Music after staying at Pop a few times. I was very disappointed in how it looked compared to how I had remembered it being. I guess Pop Century tainted my view of the Values. I couldn't see myself staying at an All Stars again, unless I got a super good deal. They were smaller and so much less appealing than Pop. The gift shops were tiny, tiny, tiny. And the bus system was awful, having to share with the other All Stars. I think Disney could have gotten away with a price difference a long time ago. I am willing to pay a premium price for Pop. Hey, it could be worse. I can't afford to stay at the deluxes, so I'll be a Value snob and stick with Pop Century. Now this new Art of Animation resort is intriguing me.

Thanks. I'm sure we'll have fun. I need to go do some of that walking now again. I also need to try and do at least one more update on my TR before I leave too.

um, I just realized you had a TR going, too!!! Well, I see I'm several, many, many pages behind, but you have chapter links! (thanks!) I'll try to catch up. Possibly next week while you are in Disney!!!

We have the same camera, but two years behind (110 instead of 130). I've been very happy with it...but I hate to tell you, it is rather slow after the flash. But really, that's my only complaint with it.

Congrats on the walking! Any exercise deserves a well earned treat. Dear Skip, get with the program please. Thank you!



You know, I noticed that and thought it was strange. I get it if someone was using the word in a derogatory way, but it's his last name!

I know. How can he not see that you have to eat ice cream as part of the training?

I can't beleive they won'ty allow his last name...and he ha made SEVERAL good Disney movies. I guess I should now write Dick Van Manly woman ?

And yet, his first name shows up just fine. Go figure.

I know!!!!

that's what I was thinking!!

Really!

Welcome. Thanks for joining in! I'm excited. It will be so fun to meet all these girls in person and I know we'll have a good time. It will be such a different trip for me, but fun none the less

I once stopped by AS Movies as part of a transfer and took about a 10 minute walk. Some parts seemed really neat, but I kept thinking, it's NOT Pop. I figure 1 night is a good way to get a taste of it and see how I like it.

I have been working on that TR forever...and yes I am very picture happy!

I know the flash is still slow, any camera using AA's are, but this seems better than what I have. Actually MUCH better. Thats how slow my other one was.

I do have the links on the 1st page to help you along. But of course things will be stalled for a bit.

I saw that, but I like to read the whole chit chat.. I need to finish before you get back and start this one!

 

[Kathy Jetson]

I can't believe how close you are

I like your work out routine too and just think soon that ice cream will be a mickey bar

Thats to funny about Dicks last name. I'll never be able to hear it again without thinking about this!

 

[Caretames1]

I guess I should now write Dick Van Manly woman ?

OMG, I just spit out my water! That was hilarious!

I can't wait for the Mickey Bar!

OMG, I just spit out my water! That was hilarious!

 

[Beth D]

Too funny!

Lots of walking, followed by ice cream! Perfect description of Disney, Universal, Sea World, any other amusement park, and of course shopping!

Sounds like the perfect workout to me!

Dick Van ...... what else can you say that hasn't already been said? LOL

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

Congrats on the new camera!!! And yay for being soooooo close! You are almost there!

 

[stephielela]

You guys are so close!!! I can't wait to follow along!! Brooke I hope you tweet everything!! I second the Dick Van __________ thing, that's pretty hilarious!

 

[mom2rtk]

Well, my own life is pretty much sucking right now.......... so the thought of havng a friend AT Disney is all I've got. Soooooooooo................. without further adieu..................

 

[Wicket's Mom]

I hate to admit this, but I've never had a Mickey bar! Are they really that good? I read somewhere that they used to be made by Dove & I love Dove bars. Should I try one?

I don't even have words to express how hard I'm laughing right now. You have no idea!!!

Don't feel bad

I've never had a Mickey bar either!!!

(Don't yell at me guys, I'll try one eventually when I'm done using all my snack credits for chocolate mousse or chocolate cake & can borrow someone else's!!! )

Now, please let me know if you find out they are made by Dove! That will definitely lure me into trying one as the very first snack on my trip!!! I LOOOOOVE Dove bars!!! Yum!!!
