See, Normally Danny has glasses on. So that really does the reminding thing for me. We need a glasses picture of both.

Hmmm ..... so a googling I went. I found some glasses pictures of both of the guys. What do you guys think?

First two pictures of Danny, then one of DH!

 

[joleen76]

I have been subbed and enjoying the report.

I knew I was enjoying your sense of humor. Then you threw in the Office Space reference. I will be continuing to laugh along.

Marcie

Marcie, thanks for reading! I'm glad you are enjoying my TR. I try to be funny, but sometimes it falls a little flat. I guess because not everyone can be in my mind and get the references I am making. I love Office Space! It's not exactly a mainstream hit, so I did worry a little if anyone would get it. I'm so glad you did! Just remember, "Yeah, I'm going to need you to come in on Saturday. (swig coffee) and umm yeah, we'll be starting at the regular time, umm thanks" And always, always remember to pass the cake to Milton or he'll burn your office down.

We actually had a guy who looked and acted like Milton at my office. We often made remarks on things he did and wondered if there would be an office to come back to Monday. To bad there always was!

They could be brothers!!!

 

[joleen76]

They could be brothers!!!

I am going to HAVE to tell DH about this. I will ask him how his brother is so famous and he's not? Of course then we'll joke about how people will mistake him for Danny and he can still feel like a star of sorts. Hey, maybe next time we are in the World a CM will think he's Danny and we can get some cool swag? Yes I'm dreaming....ok I will wake up! Drat.

 

[joleen76]

We took about an hour or so nap and then went to the Concierge for I believe it was Twilight Treasure or the one before that, I can’t remember. At any rate they gave us some dips, bread, cheese, olives, soup, and some other stuff along with open bar. We really only grabbed some snacks and I saved most of them for tonight when we got home. We were tending to be hungry when we made it back from the parks and NOTHING would be open! So, crisis averted!

We relaxed and then decided to make our way over to EPCOT for our 5pm dinner ressie at CR. As we got out of the elevator we heard this huge CRASH …. BANG. It was thunder; the skies had opened up like the great lord above decided to flush his toilet on all of us tourists in Florida at that exact moment. This was no ordinary flush either…this was like when you have a toiled clog and you have to use the plunger over and over again kind of flush. Maybe he was cleaning out his bathtub too, I don’t dare say, but it was a TON of rain! I mean maybe they were stinky (the other tourist) I of course smelt like a fresh flower or whatever scent of perfume I was wearing that day was, and probably enough to just take away that underlying scent of being in the heat all morning, but I digress, it wasn’t us that smelled and I’m sticking to that story.

We ran to the gift shop and bought our $5 ponchos and headed out the door. We had a dinner to get to after all. At first it wasn’t to bad. The pummeling began to feel like a massage, at least that’s what I told myself, and my wet socks were to ease my aching feet. I was desperately going to my happy place. Then we ran and jumped in puddles…I mean if you can’t beat the rain, enjoy it right? This was great until we realized we had been walking in this from the YC door all the way to the WS entrance from FW. It dawned on us we were the ONLY ones walking anywhere. Which honestly still doesn’t bother me. I have jumped on many a ride because of the shy to water people. (The rainaphobes) I really wouldn’t have cared at all except my poncho had come up over my backpack and was letting rain into my shorts pocket. Oh peas and carrots…my camera is in there! It was praying time now….please don’t let my camera be ruined…please don’t let my camera be ruined. There was nothing we could do for now. Nothing on us was dry. DH shoved the camera into the middle of the back pack and we trudged on. When we finally floated all the way to CR it was just slightly after our ressie and people were EVERYWHERE. We pushed and prodded our way through the sea of people like cows looking to find the chow (moo!) asked to be seated close to the tanks, took our summoning device, and went to take off these blasted ponchos that were now sticking to our skin like saran wrap to a hot dish. It was UG-LY! We pried them off our drenched bodies and took out a family beside us with the wave of water that came off of them! I could tell DH was getting grumpy. Oh crap, not now! This was supposed to be a special dinner for us etc. We checked the camera and it was fine. Yay! We waited for about 10-15min’s and were seated.

We were right next to the tank.

Then we met a new friend. Look the sea ray is smiling at us!

Then we take our obligatory wet dog pictures!

Hatman

Me

We order our drinks.

We watch the divers come to a table right behind us.

The sign said something to the effect of I love you. Flip. Will you marry me.

She started crying, it was so sweet. One of their parents were with them too. It was truly touching. Even to us wet dogs.

Then...duh dum duh (insert dramatic swell here)

The grumpy man made his appearance. You can tell from the scowl below the light. This is point in a man's day you truly wonder why they look at us funny and say we are moody during that time of the month. All I have to say is Pot & Kettle baby! More on this in a min.

Not sure what crawled up honey’s bottom for the next hour, but lets just say it must have been rather large and pokey. It made me never want to go back to CR again. The food was mediocre, DH’s drink watered down, and the waitstaff said it was Disney regulations. Well I’m not one to really care much as long as there is some alcohol in it. I really don’t drink at all except for special occasions and not even then anymore, but he had just had one the two nights before at Cape May’s. It was a lot stronger. Any who, the waitress said she had just gotten her bartenders license etc. Like I said not really entirely her fault, but we left without desert and we were on the DxDP! We ended up being there for almost 2 hours and we didn't even have desert! Crazy!!

We dawned our rain gear again to venture out into the new lake called EPCOT FW.

DH still grumpy decided he needed a smoke break. I’m glad he did, because it was like a new man had suddenly replaced the old worn out grumpy man in front of me. Yay upgrade! (yes I'm going back here, it's funny to me!) Ladies you know what I’m talking about. Men swear we are hormonal, but watch out for his mood swings that he doesn’t have. No I’m not saying I’m a scientist or have done any research. This is all life experiences here. So yes men, if it makes you feel better you can deny this is true. Go ahead, you know you want to. Ladies, sit back and nod your heads where they can’t see you.

Ok, moving on! We decided to hit the countries. No not literally. It would be time for the fireworks before to long so we wanted a leisurely stroll before we needed to get a spot.

We met a friend on our way. This is when some lunacy came into our trip in the form of inside jokes. DH & decided that we would pick up a name a day or so to remind us of our honeymoon when we got home. It started with Co Rauw (from the Sims DH was playing a lot of this before our Honeymoon), then it was Qura Horini (from AK Safari Ride), today it was Sparrow, tomorrow it is Ongalla (from Tarsan and GMR), finally it was Mallard. Yes we are nuts, but it still makes us smile today!

We made it over to Germany and found a nice park bench we could sit on. I took this picture.

Up next....will we have another suprise tonight??

I told DH about his "twin" last night. He loved it! He even rubbed it in to our DS13. Whe responds with all the confidence in the world that he did not need a look alike that he was "hot" enough all on his own. Kids!

More TR coming soon!

 

[Mrs. The King]

Ok, That photographer was worth his weight in gold!!!! What awesome slideshows.


Tell your DH to practice singing like him!!! He could be a Danny G. Impersonator is the dude wins the contest

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Just located your TR. As I love me some good potty humor, I'm feeling right at home. (I believe a TR isn't a TR without at least one fart reference.) Looking forward to more!

 

[DWFan4Life]

Great report coming here, I just finished reading it and enjoying the pictures, it's really awesome. Glad that you had a great time and yes your DH looks like Danny,absolutely. Looking forward in hearing more from you.

Have a nice day everyone.

The pictures were fun! We just adore them.

I've told DH to get ready for it. If he wins he could have a new career.

Welcome aboard "the Great Biscuit". Glad you understand and love my sense of humor! I think humor just makes life more fun. Just so you know the potty humor is not over...there is more to come.

DWFan....welcome, welcome to my TR. Glad to have you along for the ride too! We truly had the time of our life.

I will be posting another installment today!!

 

[joleen76]

We were in Germany scoping out a bench for the fireworks. Then the Paparazzi showed up. We welcomed him into our space and he offered to take our picture. He let us know he would use us as test subjects to calibrate his camera with the sun so there would be more than usual. I won’t show them all to you…but there were about 20!

While we were taking our pictures the crew for Illuminations was coming ashore behind us to set up/check equipment for tonight. One of the heads of the pyrotechnic piece started chatting with us.

Imagineer: I saw your ears, are you celebrating something with us?

Us: Yes, we are on our honeymoon.

Imagineer: Awesome, are you enjoying your time so far?

Us: (in my head, yes except for the grumpy man appearance) Yes! We are having a blast.

Imagineer: I would like to ask you if you would like to join me on the boat docks tonight to have a private viewing of the fireworks with the crew.

Us: Are you kidding me? (DH you’ve got to be crapping me)

We were so excited! Not only are we getting the best seats in the house but we now have an extra hour or so to do something else!

When we walked up to meet our new friend, another CM offered to let us watch in the reserved seating in the UK. I felt bad having to tell her we were already taken care of. She was so sweet.

Soon it was time to meet our friend, and sure enough we and six other people got to go down to the boat docks in WS and watch the fireworks with the crew. Here are some pictures, unfortunately this is before I figured out how to take pictures of fireworks with my camera, so some are ok.

This show was so awesome from the crews point of view. This moment in our Honeymoon could never be replaced. We were truly given a Magical Moment. Thank you to that Imagineer if you are reading this. I won’t give your name, but you made our night and definitely a highlight to our trip!

Now it was EMH’s so we headed over to get the Paparazzi to take our picture in front of the globe at night.

Then we headed for the land and saw Sorin was way to long of a line and rode Living with the Land. I think we had the boat to ourselves. DH loves this ride because he is an amateur gardener.

Pumpkins! In the air. Floating pumpkins? No?

Sturgeon

We decided we were hungry having walked our on desert and all. So we headed to Sunshine Season for some grub. The only picture I have of this meal is of my desert. Must have been the good one!

We decided to call it a night and headed back to the hotel.

Up next DHS!

 

[joleen76]

Hey guys,

I have been under the weather and haven't been posting as much on my TR. SO sorry. You know I haven't had an ear infection since I was probably 10 and somehow I have 2! Crazy.

I'll be posting more soon, I promise!

Joleen!! I hope you feel better! I saw you DH on American Idol last night.



Love the sunset pictures! Was it very loud on the boat? I would have peed my pants like a nervous Chihuahua being that close to the explosions!

MTK!! I am feeling better from being sick, but now the glutton for punishment I am, went to the dentist this morning and they decided to pull one of my remaining two wisdom teeth. Does this make me less wise? DH would love some of the wise cracks to be extracted with the tooth, but I told him he would have no such luck! Lucky me, I get to go back next week and have the final wisdom tooth removed!! Please forgive me if I am a little out of it today, I blame the drugs.

We tunned in to our local FOX channel Thursday night for Hells Kitchen and caught the tail end of American Idol. Unfortunately we did not see DH though, guess that's how he gets there and back to be home with me at night? I think he needs a cape! Maybe a skin tight suit with the letter S etched across the chest. Well maybe not! After all DH is all mine and does not need the world to be able to see his .......... well manliness.

Ok Ok I'm getting completely off topic here. I have seen posts in other TR's that bash the day to day life chats in TR's. I say though if you are reading my TR you probably appreciate the calamidy of everyday life as much as a really cool Honeymoon and Thanksgiving trip with 4 boys! No?? Besides it's much more entertaining to laugh at someone else's life than have to look at your own and try and make fun of it! I say laugh it up and I will continue to post about DH's American Idol look alike, our torment of our children, and of course a little Lurch and fart humor thrown in!

So where was I? Oh yes, MTK and the sunset pictures! They were really fun to take. I mean we could not have timed them better! I have to clarify on the fireworks. We were on the boat dock, not actually in the boat. The "team" had to have immediate access to the boat if something went wrong in the show!! (insert dramatic gasp here) BUT! In fact we were still really close. The fireworks seemed to be louder, but that could have been just our imaginations because we wanted it to be! DH & I love firework displays, and even setting them off ourselves in the right setting. This was right up our alley! It really was romantic and we were in total awe of everything!

Day 4 June 11

Today we are off to HS (on a EMH Late Day). I knew the morning would be good crowd wise but by 2 or so it would be crowded. We planned a break for today. I remember it was really hot today. I mean fry and egg on the concrete hot. I knew better than to attempt make up today, Paparazzi or no Paparazzi. We had two ADR’s today so that would help with breaks from the heat. We had lunch at Sci-Fi at 11 and dinner at the Brown Derby at 5:20 on the Fantasmic Package. I was excited for DH to eat at the BD. I love this place and to add on top of that Fantasmic setting on a EMH night was a thing to be excited about. We got up fairly early, not in time for RD early but again we got to eat breakfast at the Concierge Lounge. We decided to wear our matching shirts again today, however these said Bride and Groom on them. I made them from iron on’s I found at Hobby Lobby and t-shirts we bought at Wally World. We headed down to the boat docks and I took these pictures.

Of course DH has to start the day off with a blast….of air that is.

Me - Standing up wind not down wind!

I took a few more pictures along our way on the boat.

We set out with a few goals for today. Ride: TSM, TOT, RNR (DH), LMA, and ST. Everything else would be gravy.

DH entering the park, and he’s already in the Studios mood. Come to think of it, maybe he was practicing for American Idol!

Honestly I have no idea in which order we did things. I know we headed back to TSM and found out it had an hour + wait to which we said no thanks. Grabbed some fastpasses and then headed up NY Street.

Where the Paparazzi found us again!

With our camera...

Photopass camera....

Then we decided to hit TOT & RNR (DH) early. Me being the rollercoaster wennie I am, was not stepping foot on RNR!

Stopping of course to get, I mean let the Paparazzi take our pictures.

And some of our own.

I must admit I am not a huge fan of TOT. Something about it being an elevator and I’m already scared of the really tall ones as it is. Some women are scared of spiders and bugs, I am scared of tall elevator rides.

No idea when this was from, but it’s too funny not to post. I married a half smurf! I think he had eaten some of that Goofy Sour Stuff, which he loved!

Up next .......time for our Lunch ADR at Sci Fi!!

 

[joleen76]

Deleted. Double Post! Ooppsss. It's the meds I tell you...the meds.

 

[Mrs. The King]

Joleen? Am I the only one seeing two posts?



Is this part of the time change conspiracy? I love how often the photo pass people make you kiss No one has ever asked Mr. The King and I to kiss, and now I think I am a little insulted. Next trip for us will be the "Kiss as much as Joleen and Danny Goeky tour." And I am not kissing just Mr. The Hing. No mam. I am going to have at anything that holds still. Mickey, Minnie, Those evil Dumpy twins.

I am kissing the frick out of everything. I will end the tour tongue kissing Walt's head in Disney Studios.


Another awesome set of identical chapters!! You guys are so stinkin' cute. I am sorry you are having all your wisdom removed. They took mine out at 18. And I am fine. Fine.

I think I fixed the double post?

It seemed like the Paparazzi just loved seeing us kiss. It was fun and made some great pictures, but there were times people pointed and laughed at us. One even told us to get a room and then cackled if you can believe that! We were very aware of the "family" setting we were in and did not want to offend, but it was sweet how everyone congradulated us as they mocked us!

I cannot wait to see the pictures of your kissing marathon. I hope Mr. The King doesn't get upset with all the free kisses you'll be giving out! If he's like my DH he will just shake his head in disbelief and laugh at you.

Thanks for the well wished on my adventure at the dentist. Can you believe I actually went in to work yesterday? Today I realized how stupid that was and stayed home so I could recoupe without inflicting my haze on my work place. However you guys are not so lucky!

 

[joleen76]

Next we were on to our lunch at SCI-FI. I wondered how DH would like it.

DH really loved this place. I had been there a few times before with my boys, but this was DH’s first trip to Disney so everything was new to him.

I of course figured out by today that I needed more food pictures.

His Entrée

Mine

Mine was good, but if I had it to do over again I’d get it without the cheese. JMO

Deserts

His

Mine

These were so Yummy as were the shakes!

We were hitch hikers can’t you tell?

When DH found out, or he was being pulled into the sci-fi relm. I'm not sure what he said. Either way, he's goofy.

Next it was off to Star Tours and Muppets 3D.

Doesn't DH look thrilled?? I think he's eying the smoking section behind me. That or he was constipated.

Then it was to LMA where I took a zillion and one pictures at DH’s request. The video camera my DM and DSD lent us battery was not holding a charge so DH could not tape this. It made no difference that I had it on video at home from a previous trip. It was simply not the same. The only way he quit pouting was the zillion and one pictures. Have you ever noticed how men and children behave similarly? Good thing I’m a mom and know what to do in these situations. Of course with every stunt, I still got the “did you get that?”, and “are you sure you got that?”

I’ll only post a couple of the zillion though.

And for all that, I made him sit through the parade with me!

I didn’t get but one picture though. The cost for the parade was no pictures of it and ice cream to cool off with. Little does he know I have pictures of it from Nov 07. HA!

We took these random pictures, but I can't remember where this was in DHS.

I know we did more before dinner, but my pictures skip from here to dinner. Guess we were both tired of the camera for a while.

Next up Brown Derby Dinner Fantasmic Package!
