Leger Wonka Pre-Trip....Little Surprises Around Every Corner (7/6 New Purchases)

[team weasel]

You enjoyed it? You must be in better shape than I am then

NOT! I used to be in good shape - I was very active in HS - but not so much anymore.

I am, however, VERY competitive! I just liked builing the robot though.

 

[cherbear]

Wow, it's closed? What a shame!

He left it at the resort!?!? How dare he!! That WAS a LOT of running so early in the morning. But can you imagine how much worse it would have been after a full day of walking around the park? Good thing it's in the front. Well, was in the front.

Thanks for the heads up. So, any word on what they're putting in it's place?

yup, he sure did. The rest of the trip he had it holding his toothbrush...it was cute. But he left it and I didn't even realize. If he didn't want it, he could have at least gave it to a little kid (one who likes LSU )

That SUCKS that the plastic works thing is closed! I really enjoyed it last year!

Honestly - that's all I went to Innoventions for. Well - that and the "free" Disney Visa picture.

wow...you liked it? Or did you just like keeping the robot?

I would have gone again and just watched DH run. No more running for me on vacation unless it's to get to ToT(or TT, RnR, EE, Soarin, SM....)

I loved having that benefit!

dokey okey, I will do my best to find them and scan them tonight so I can get them posted.

great! That reminds me, I need to take a bunch of pictures of all my "stuff" so that I'll have them ready for my report. I need to make sure I still have all my receipts from the trip so I can include my meal expenses whenever possible. I will probably just take a picture of them. And my drawings, too!
I'm so excited about finishing that thing and starting up a PTR!

 

[Leger13]

Yay for scanning pictures. I might try to find some old Disney pictures tonight too and scan them at work on Monday. hmmm? Do I want to embarras myself and show the 1995 pictures when I still had a bowl cut almost? (My mother did NOT like fixing little girl hair in the morning, so she cut it all off ) I asked him why he stopped posting last night and he said "Because the DIS scared me" .... <---- me at that moment.... "I ended up in a chat or something about babies... and it scared me. I don't like exploring without you there to help."

you know you want to embarrass yourself. That sucks that the DIS scared Buddy. How in the world did he end up on a thread about babies?? I would have been scared too.

He wants to get t-shirts like Scottny had. I asked him if he was going to put my SN on them or if he was actually gunna start talking so he could put his.... He got all pitiful and said he would. He's ready to go to HD this weekend and ummm aquire some LGMH's hehe

haha yes, he needs to post more in order to use his SN on his t-shirt so people recognize him

for liberating some LGMH's. I need to get some more

NOT! I used to be in good shape - I was very active in HS - but not so much anymore.

I am, however, VERY competitive! I just liked builing the robot though.

hah! I used to be in good shape too.

Chris is the competitive one here. He won our robot race of course I could have cared less about the robot once we were done racing I didn't even keep the one I made. Now I wish I had since it's closed.

yup, he sure did. The rest of the trip he had it holding his toothbrush...it was cute. But he left it and I didn't even realize. If he didn't want it, he could have at least gave it to a little kid (one who likes LSU )

That totally sucks! I'm sure it was cute that he was using it as a toothbrush holder. Probably good for it. I still remember calling the robot "Mini Mikey"

ah yes, I'm sure you noticed but I totally forgot to do that at the end of my report. I was SO ready to be done with it! Hope you still have all your receipts. I think I do since I kept putting them in my passporter. That thing only came in handy for that.

Eh I guess I'll embarrass myself.

I think he ended up on one of the threads in the community board. I know FauntleroyFan has one about him and Candy's soon to come baby. Maybe he ended up in something like that. who knows? I will teach him this weekend though.

Yeah I told him that about the t-shirt. I said otherwise he's gunna be walking around with "lilpixiebabe101" on his shirt.

One of the guys in our senior class that we were all real good friends with wouldn't steal things.... he's .... "acquire" them. I know its a little soon for em, but oh well I'm on a Disney Buzz!

GOSH, a little early for those gals, dont ya think?

You're right. I've got to tell him about it being closed so I can guilt trip him
the CM gave me that idea. pretty cool...it kept it from being on the counter anyway.

nah...you took such other great pics that I didn't realize. I'm sure I have them...just gotta locate them all. Our computer room is a wreck right now.

I want to be able to say the cost of the meals. I know a lot of people like to compare the prices of food, whether on or off the dining plan. And it's SO cool to see exactly how much money you WOULD end up spending but you're getting it free!

BTW, I learned that you can use Disney gift cards and Disney dollars to tip your servers at WDW. I am going to have to look into that some more...I hear there's a board somewhere around here about it. I just doubt that it would be appropriate to use them (especially a gift card) if you weren't ordering anything OOP (such as alcohol) because then it would be all for the tip. I think they can trade in the Disney dollars and get cash somewhere on site.
If I could do that, I really wouldnt be spending ANY of my own money at Disney b/c I will have enough in gift cards to cover our tips and alcoholic drinks through my SR earnings!
(do I seem cheap...or smart? )

yeah that might be it. Just tell him to stay in the pre-tr and tr area and he'll be fine.

yeah, a little soon for LGMH's for sure. If you get some just put them somewhere you won't lose them.

GOSH, a little early for those gals, dont ya think?

Yes, guilt trip him. Maybe they'll put some other running type of thing in it's place so he can do that.

awwww thank you!

Wow, that's awesome!! You should totally do that I don't think you are being cheap...you are being a savvy Disney goer

 

[team weasel]

I didn't know about using the gift cards and disney dollars for tips!

I have been saving every dollar of "extra" money we get to save for tips, souvies, mousekeeping, etc. Hopefully I will have the trip paid for in May when I get my "stimulous" (sp?) money!

Cheri - have you considered Expo Tv? I started out with SR, but moved to Expo b/c it's quicker and pays straight into my PayPal account. DH and I make about $400 a month between the two of us. He it because it bought him a new Desktop to play World of Warcrack.

glad I was able to share a new tip!

Thanks for the tip! I actually recently signed up for Expo because I found info on it at TimandLesley's pre-trip and she's the same one who told me about SR.

We don't have a digital camera, but are considering trying the webcam on the computer to start and see what we think of it

Do you think we'd be able to use our webcam to film reviews?

 

[cherbear]

yeah

Yes, guilt trip him. Maybe they'll put some other running type of thing in it's place so he can do that.

awwww thank you!

LOL fat chance.

you're welcome!

I know...it really is! Thanks for saying I'm Savvy! (and not cheap )

 

[lilpixiebabe101]

Cheri, you going to let Mike play with Buddy and Chris on x-box one night and come have a drink with me and Carla?

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Can't I come??

 

[lilpixiebabe101]

Can't I come??

We'll of course. More the merrier. We'll leave all the boys in our room and go drink and have a great ole time!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

I'm leaving mine at home. I don't like him enough to pay to take him anymore.

I have to tell you, though, my tolerance for alcohol is next to nothing. I think I'll be able to have about 3 until all heck breaks loose.

Haha. Well you can leave all the chillens with the big kids and let them play x-box. Well this is mines first trip, and he's already telling me if we're offered bounce-back that we're gunna take it, so I'll pay for him if he's willing to take me every year. (I'm catchin' up on your pre-trip now. DF is picky like your DS.)

That's probably around my limit too, but like I told Carla, I can't actually buy my own durn drinks yet. Stupid age limits!

 

[Leger13]

Can't I come??

Of COURSE you can!!

I have to tell you, though, my tolerance for alcohol is next to nothing. I think I'll be able to have about 3 until all heck breaks loose.

I have a low tolerance too...hehehe That means we can save $ on getting hammered.

I keep forgetting how old you are I will be glad to run up to the bar and get your drinks for you though. No biggie

Yay for all us drinking and having no alcohol tolerance!!!

Ya people use webcams all the time - and digital cameras. I just use a cheap camcorder.

hey Tat, I mentioned this on Ashley's thread too but I was wanting to tell you....we're doing the "party" at the Hippy Dippy pool at 8pm on sept 18th. I figured your kids could get their swim on while we get our drink on! What you think of that?

is he gonna do it at MNSSHP or are you moving your reservation for Cinderella's?

 

[lilpixiebabe101]

is he gonna do it at MNSSHP or are you moving your reservation for Cinderella's?

He's going to do it at MNSSHP because he had a Boy Meets World moment and wants and engagement ring too, since no one believes him when he says he's getting married. So instead of paying the 300$ it costs for the thing at CRT, I'm going to spend it on a ring for him. If were all together at the party, then y'all will get to share with us! (Y'all better take pictures!!! )
