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

[cherbear]

plenty of commenting to make on this last bit...might have to split it up!

Thanks. When you get a fastpass it tells you on the bottom of the ticket when you can get your next one. It's usually not long after you get one that you can get another. Plus all of our return times were late off in the day. You just gotta time it right and you can get all the fastpasses you want.

Yeah it for sure was!! You should try it in September. They're somewhere in fantasyland. I know that doesn't help much. I'll have to tell you where they are when we get down there. I know I'll remember once I see the area

Yeah, I think I will since I'm the one that had to find it this time. My Mom found it last time so I forgot where it was. It's kind of like driving for me....if I don't drive there then I won't remember how to get there.

way to work the fastpasses Carla! Ya know, I think ToT has a shorter time period than the others (1 hr) unless they've changed it. HM used to have a shorter time when it was a FP attraction.

The slush looked good...I had a coke one last year at...OOPS, I'm not supposed to talk about that here---savin it 4 the report. LOL

So I just went over to WDW's site to see what the name of it is... does anyone else HATE the redesigned site? Ugh... I can't stand it.

Obviously I didn't find it... I'll check wdwinfo... should've just gone there first.

I agree...it sucks. I liked pulling up each park and having a simplified list of attractions, and click on dining for a simple list there.

Sounds good! I found Cheri! and now we ALL might need to do a Dis meet in Sept! yay!

You did find me...over on the Louisiana chat...so funny.

Sorry but we are flying in on the 13th and we probably won't make it into the grounds by lunch. (last yr we had a direct flight leaving at 9:50 our time...took DME to the resort and made it there sometime between 1-2.

Then the nice DVC CM came over and asked if we would like for her to take a picture of all 3 of us. I said yes and I told them to do something funny in the picture....you know....to "look Rich" haha! I'm the only one willing to make a fool out of myself apparently LOL.

and that.....is why I love you! you rock!

you and the ducks....and you and the poor cameras. You're not the only one...my sister's broke in '06 but it was a CM's fault so Disney ended up paying for it. She was overanxious and trying to get my sister's bag open (at the bag check in AK) and the zipper was catching on something so my sister was trying to uncatch it. Well the CM took matters into her own hands (when she shouldn't have) and my sister's camera took a tumble, breaking the screen. Thankfully, Disney paid to have the camera fixed, but we still had to take a detour in our morning so we could tell Guest Services---and the CM still wouldn't own up to her mistake!

I may have told you that story last year..don't remember. Also both of our backpacks broke, as well as my sister's friend's. what are the chances!

So getting me in trouble at 50s PTC wasn't enough???

Didn't really count your name, huh? Don't you know we ALWAYS read the edits around here???

heheehehehehe

yes you are a bit late but better late than never. I must say it's SO nice to see you posting again!! My Trip buddy is back!! Glad you enjoyed my TR from last September. Especially since your name was mentioned so many times Don't you feel special?

I agree with Tat, you have to know that we all read the edits around here.....

thanks! it's nice to BE posting again! :yes:

So, Chris sent my Canon camera back to the manufacturer to be fixed. They said it would be a minimum of $100 to fix it probably.

Well, the Canon people called Chris today and told him the shipped my camera back to us yesterday and that it was fixed for free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I highly recommend Canon!! They have the BEST customer service!!!! I can't wait to get my camera back tomorrow

awesome!

wow, now after all that I need sone sleep! gotta hair apt in the AM! cy'all later!

Great 2nd half mini Trip report


Love your ritzy photo in GF

That place is gorgeous, but I too feel out of place


Too funny about your all laughing hysterically. You sound like me..sometimes I get the sillies and just can not stop laughing, as my mom


Sorry about your camera......

I agree...No trips to Disney EVER during Spring Break...those crowds


Yes, I do think you have lost weight. You look great

Thanks Sharky

lol i can sooooo see you and your mom acting up like that on the monorail too. Can you imagine if we were all there together??

Thanks but it's all taken care of now

Thank you!

That's awesome! I'm glad you got your camera fixed.

Thanks Tat!! Me too

those are awesome! (of course I had to take off some of the pics)



ooh I vote Chris should sit in his cake!



bummer about the cake but hey...that's cool! hey Carla, now we know how to score a free wishes cruise...


I think you're doing your shopping a little EARLY eh? You're WAY ahead of me! I am totally doing the whiteboard thing. With all the new ideas I'm going to have SO much to pack.



so smart!

ooh I'm back to reading again...

Thanks

I'll tell him you said so!

yeah, that would be nice!

yeah, shopping early is not a bad thing though I need to start making a list of things to bring this year on the trip. I can't wait to see who all signs my white board

I have been there to explore and I felt like I didn't belong. Too uppity for me!

yeah, it really is.

Carla, what is dSLR? I'm assuming it's a type of camera?



maybe that's why I felt so out of place...I was in shorts and a tank top.



LWL...LOL!



I also love the footsteps & the Mickey head cherry

they're all great & I'm jealous! Looks like you're really starting something here, Carla!

and loved your mini TR!

it's a type of camera, yes. You know those huge cameras that professional photographers use? That's an SLR. The other ones (the small ones you and I use) are called "point 'n shoots".

maybe

hehe you'll see...it's true!

Thank you! Yes I am...I think I have a small pin following

Thank you

Thanks! I got mad skillz!! I'm not sure about the fastpasses in MGM and how long the wait is to get another one

Oh it was scrumptious! shhhhh don't give away anything before you get to do some updating on your TR. I'm still waiting on that! Get that External Hard Drive already! No pressure

awwww, I love you too girl! We need to try and get some HELLA funny pics together this year! I know we'll have plenty of opportunities to

I know, I need to stay away from the ducks and put the wrist strap around my wrist for my poor camera. I think I've finally learned my lesson. I didn't remember that story about your sister's camera. Oh man I would have been ticked! but at least WDW paid for the damages. Still a bummer though! And all of your backpacks broke? How in the heck did y'all manage that?

Hope you got a good nights rest. Glad you are all caught up! Enjoy your time at the salon!

Yeah, darn camera. I'm so glad Canon was able to fix it

yeah, for real. Sadly I knew a lot of kids like that one growing up....the common since and common decency just isn't there.

I'm so ready to get one! I would have gotten one today but it was my sister's bday dinner and we also went to buy her ipod and I wasn't thinking about the harddrive

awwww, I love you too girl! We need to try and get some HELLA funny pics together this year! I know we'll have plenty of opportunities to

I was totally thinking that! I want plenty more pics this year. And, well...more days at Disney this year = more pics!

All us girls had the mini backpack purses from Walmart. (Mine was a tinkerbell one) My sister's zipper broke on the main part, my small pocket snap broke, and my sister's friend's big part snap broke. Complete coincidence? I think not. Cheap backpacks? Probably the key. I love my Mickey mouse backpack!

Got a trim and highlight and feeling better. Thought there'd be a lot more activity here today but I didn't have much to read.

Okay...as I am writing this, Mike was laying next to me and Yelled out for me to turn off the TV because he heard a rat in the ceiling. He was convinced of it, once I calmed him down and assured him he was nuts, I began typing this reply again and he said "there it is again!" I said..."do you mean this?" and typed again. YES...There was his "RAT"

ugh! You need to remember those kinds of things young lady.

Well, it is more days at disney for you but less for us. I hope I'm still able to snap tons of great pictures. I got my camera back and it works perfectlly!!

wow, well I guess you can't expect much since the backpacks were from walmart. Total bummer though!

Glad you are feeling better now that you got your hair cut

That is HILLARIOUS!!! Guess he forgot what the sound of you typing was since it's been sooooooo long since y'all had a working computer. That is too funny. I guess it kind of does sound like a mouse chewing or something.

 

[betsywdw]

I was once again a slacker and had major catching up to do. I LOVE your pics at the GF

I love the shops in the Poly. I know exactly where you mean that the woman told you to pay...I got in trouble because DD kept taking toy cell phones out to me when I was looking at the hats Probably the same witch!

I'm so glad that you found out where the slushy drink was from because that was on my list of questions to ask but it was answered before my reply

I had water dripping all over me too on the monorail I had no clue what was going on and everyone else found it extremely funny

That is awesome about your camera being fixed for free Way to go Canon! I almost cried for you when I read your post about it breaking

Cheri - Welcome Back Good to see you!

I think that's it! I need to keep up over here from now on

it's all good. It's hard to keep up when you have a little one to run after. Hehe I am a silly.

ack...it DOES sound like you had an encounter with the same witch at the Poly shop. Geesh. She needs to take a chill pill.

Thanks to love we know what the place is called and where exactly it is.

Now that I look back on it, laughing about the watter dripping should have been more scary than funny but we were delirious at the time.

I'm SO happy to have it back!!! Awww, you almost cried? I DID cry I'm so glad they fixed it for free. I now am a Canon person for life

Thanks for stopping by Betsy! Hope you are doing good!

 

[TrueEeyore]

Happy Saturday Carla!

 

[Leger13]

Happy Saturday Carla!

Thanks, happy Saturday to you too Heather!

 

[Disneymommom]

Just stopping by to see what's going on over here Carla? I see no one is here either, man it's tough that I am the only one without a life , lol.

 

[Beana9802]

Sure you got a life mommom! You got a very good life! I woulda been here, but I had a surprise, not so surprise 50th birthday party to help setup, cook for, and attend...a lot of fun, but he found out about it...poop!

Carla...See ya tamara (or later on today, now that it is 12:43)

 

[cherbear]

glad you got a laugh out of it..I know I sure did!

well some ppl can't go for 9 days, AND a special day at MK between trips by the way... whoever could I be talking about?

now I just need to lose some weight and I'll be super happy!

I'm still laughing about it too. I guess the laptop keys do sound different. And my nails are a little long. But it doesn't sound anything like a rat to me! The funny thing was, he told me to tell y'all about it. hehe I told him, don't worry, I plan on it!
I think he knows now that anything silly he does (especially AT disney) will be posted at disboards somewhere.

slushies are yummy! Anyone remember Slush-puppies? Those were the days! I actually found one in a gas station...but it didn't seem to be the same, or the machine just wasn't working right--I'm leaning toward the machine not working right.


Thanks Betsy! Good to see you too!

I know my mom and I are going to get into so much trouble I bet on our adventure or at least be the loud laughing ones that everyone is pointing at

yup! LOL it's SO late...why is your green light on?

 

[Leger13]

Just stopping by to see what's going on over here Carla? I see no one is here either, man it's tough that I am the only one without a life , lol.

awww, you have a life MomMom! Trust me, I wasn't doing anything exciting last night. I just got really tired around 8:30 last night and fell asleep on the couch. Seems like everyone is online when I'm sleeping lately

Sure you got a life mommom! You got a very good life! I woulda been here, but I had a surprise, not so surprise 50th birthday party to help setup, cook for, and attend...a lot of fun, but he found out about it...poop!

Carla...See ya tamara (or later on today, now that it is 12:43)

bummer that he found out about the surprise. Hope your party was still fun!

Wow, you were up late last night! You party animal you!!

 

[Leger13]

Thanks Betsy! Good to see you too!

Hmmmm.....I'm not sure who you could possibly be talking about

Oh you are already hot! What is this talk about needing to lose weight? I'm the "fatty" here! Even though I may have lost some weight it's not enough.

ah long nails on the keyboard i guess is what did it for him to make that sound Thats hilarious that he wanted you to tell us about it!! You should have asked him why he doesn't register here and tell us himself?

I know my mom and I are going to get into so much trouble I bet on our adventure or at least be the loud laughing ones that everyone is pointing at

Yes you will be!!! I can see it now. I'm gonna try and bring our video camera with us this year (or try and get a new one...keep your fingers crossed that I can convince Chris!) I suggest y'all do the same thing! That way you can show us your sillies when you get back
