[pipersmom]

Since I've done few of these things, it's hard, but here's my list:

1) MNSSHP (just one time) I would love to be able to go to this or MVMCP
2) Cirque ..Pretty even with MNSSHP for me, it would be a toss-up.
3) Spectro/Wishes
4) Night MK (very late EMH - till 1 AM) Fun after dark!
5)Fantasmic.. Have heard so much about this, really looking forward to it.
6)Illuminations
7)Night AK
8) Watch Wishes from the Poly Beach
9)MNSSHP (twice)
10) YeeHaw Bob.. I have no idea what this is, so it really doesn't rank, lol.

 

[MKBekka]

well, ok here goes

1)night AK
2)wishes
3)Yeehaw Bob
4)night MK
5)MNSSHP
6)wishes for beach
7)cirque
8)MNSSHP (twice)
9)fantasmic
10)Illuminations

Mom, are you planning on making me share as well?

 

[All7OfUs]

Wow! This is a hard one. Some are easy, I"d just toss them out with the carrot and onion peelings. Others are like a good steak cooked on the grill; but unfortunately, you've put in some shrimp withthe steak which is equally good. (Am I the only one who really appreciates those combo deals at restuarants?)

Now don't get me wrong, I don't want to offend anyone with my answers lmao:--- as if I've ever worried about that!), but I can see this bunch is wildly all over the board! Some are, in fact, topsy turned! All these options, given the fact that they are at Disney are better that an evening watching a free movie in the Walmart electronics department. So, if I have to do all of them, well, I guess I could live with that . But with careful planning, I think we could, like Tim said.

I must tell you, I did NOT look at your list. So without further sleep deprived blather (puncuated with inane nonsense) here is mine:

1. MNSSHP- once is top priority
2. Late night at MK. All I need to say. Caseys, Main Street, The Mountains at night.
3. Yeehaw Bob. I am pretty excited to see this "on-fire" guy, who obviously loves his job, and is actually successful at Disney. Most reviews I've read say that the crowd is pretty tame and there aren't too many drunk rowdys. I hope that your experience was an isolated one, Kathy! Again, this shouldn't be too hard to fit in, since on many of our nights, the parks are closed by 8:00.
4. Late EMH at AK, should be totally doable!!! I think it ends at what? 8:00?? Anyone can do that and STILL go to a TS dinner afterwards and be in bed by 10:00.
5. Cirque. LeeAnn saw it in Portland, and still talks about it! She says it was amazing!
6. Spectro/Wishes. Never seen Spectro. Main Street Electrical music makes me cry still, brings back some amazing memories. But, even with that one, I wouldn't have a nervous breakdown if I didn't see it at all. Wishes I do want to see at least once. But Hallowishes is higher on my list.
7. Wishes from Poly Beach; dibs on the hammock!
8. MNSSHP- twice, might be more that I am geared up for. Although, it does sound fun. once for rides, and parades. once for characters and villians mix and mingle.
9. Fantasmic! Even though I haven't seen it, it's still not super high on my must do list. It'll have to be left to a game time decision.
10. Illuminations (sorry, this was just lame. I totally don't get the ball thing, and I don't agree with the "one world= everyone will be happy message")

 

[StefaniLyn]

Here's my list. I don't think you'll find any surprises here. I will try and read more/catch up later, but it's been a crazy busy day!

Cirque - La Nouba
Night MK (very late EMH - till 1 AM)
Spectro/Wishes (on the same night)
Night AK (AK EMH)
MNSSHP (just one time)
Watch Wishes from the Poly Beach
Illuminations
Fantasmic
MNSSHP (twice, if offered)
YeeHaw Bob (what the heck is this?)

 

[All7OfUs]

Yeehaw Bob is a performer who does a one man show over at Port Orleans Tues- Saturday nights. His act is a piano show that is highly audience participatory and guests sing all kinds of familiar tunes along with him, and he throws in some corny jokes and such. From what I read the crowd is fun, and since he's a guy who takes his faith seriously, he keeps a clean show.

Sounds like a nice, sit-down way to end a long day in the parks. Here's the links to his own website and another website I found about his show: You'll have to cut and paste...

2) See Yeehaw Bob in the River Roost Lounge. I’ve been looking forward to this for a very long time!! Here are both his website:

http://wdw4christians.wordpress.com/...erside-resort/

and another that explains more about his show and the venue he plays in:

Nope. No surprises there. HA!

This is just my gut instinct here, I didn't think about it too much.

Obviously, I'm a big MNSSHP fan.

 

[All7OfUs]

I can't wait to read up on it! Having observed a similar orientation first hand (albeit from the other side of the table), I can only imagine how much you needed that vacation!

Yes, we all certainly did. And I fear we're about in the same boat now. WOW! The "other side of the table" was an intensely intimidating lot back then.

Part II coming up right now.

THANKS to all who helped maroo out. I agree, I think we can fit all this in. Now..........just how to pay for it all! (Although, a fair amount of them are free)

BTW, Maroo, you missed Hoop!

 

[All7OfUs]

Let me start at the beginning, which is heavily relevant to the telling of this tale. Early on when we had found out about our going to Orlando for our “job interview”, my parents concocted a strange idea that it would be “fun” to drive from Portland, OR to Florida in their gigantinormous motor home. If picture of Chevy Chase and “Vacation” are now swimming in your brainly data banks, please don’t let me stop you.

Yup, Grandma, Grandpa, my children (I only had 4 then) aged 8, 6, 4, and almost 2, and myself, piled into portable box of fright for a cross- country jaunt. I don’t remember much about the drive, except that we stopped in Laughlin where my Gt. Grandparents had a winter home. I spent New Year’s Eve in a casino- that was certainly a new experience (and ummm, one I didn’t mention about our interviews a few days later). I remember losing $20 in quarters in about 4 minutes (Cheesy Winkers!!!!, those machines are hungrier than my 18 year old at midnight), watching him make about $6,000 at blackjack and sipping champagne in the Penthouse. The whole affair was weird.

After restocking our cache of mac cheese and Schweppes ginger ale, we set off again toward the east. Texas was, no offense to all my Texan friends out there, well, flat and pretty darned uninteresting. Maybe I was looking all the wrong places, but I-10 was just very dull for 2 days. I’m pretty sure thought, it was somewhere in Texas that we “camped’ in a truck stop for a night. There have been a few times in my life I’ve gotten the heebie-jeebies. This was one. I learned two things that night. Truck stop food is horrible and you really stand out when you have a birthday party for an 8 year old in a Pilot Café. Leaving the land of enormous beer guts, and barring the door with several crowbars and a shotgun or two, we laid there awake listening to the sound of generators for hours.

The next day, we eventually made it to Louisiana where the roads are bad, and the feeling is most definitely “Southern”. I cannot describe this, so I won’t try- other than that it was about as different from Portland, Oregon is from Calcutta. We stayed in Downtown N.O. at some crappy drug dealing haven, which might have been mistaken for a campground by my parents. We did manage to unhitch the car and take a turn about the historic district. Is it just me or do the above ground graves creep anyone else out? I remember getting beneigts at the Café du Monde, the place that’ famous for them, and doing some browsing in a street market where my son HAD to try alligator jerky. He said he liked it.

Safely back on the road again (yes, I meant every letter of “safely”) we made our way not over hill and dale, but through swamp and over bridge. I think it took us 8 or 9 days total to get to Orlando. We did some other fun stuff along the way, but the highlights I’ve penned here for you. My mother’s nerves were completely fried- she was a wreck! Whatever pipe dreams they had of a “one big happy family cross-country trip” were slowly eaten away and replaced with a resounding, “What the Hell were we thinking?!” I think it was on this trip that my mother re-discovered Valium. Not that my kids are naughty or misbehaved, but they are kids. Parents tend to forget what their own children were like (us), and they pass an easy judgment going into that whole spiel of walking to school in the snow uphill, both ways, etc… Let’s just way they were ready for a week off from us, and we from them.

 

[maroo]

Wow. Great start!

I can totally picture Chevy Chase and the gang!

You actually spent MONEY at the Casino? Oh, my friend.... The nickel slots are a lot more fun and you can spend at least 14 minutes there before they take it all!

You didn't tell your future boss? That is just hilarious!

Truck stop?

Downtown New Orleans?!?

Sister...so far you guys ARE having a rough time...Have you ever heard of these places called National Parks?

Your Mom rediscovered Valium!

Great update!

I am officially giving the "writing the TR" responsibilities to you.

 

[All7OfUs]

You actually spent MONEY at the Casino? Oh, my friend.... The nickel slots are a lot more fun and you can spend at least 14 minutes there before they take it all!

Well, it was free money- which is awfully hard to come by now adays. Oh wait, there was that "stimulation check" from our illustrious gov't.

You didn't tell your future boss? That is just hilarious!

Would you have??!!!

Truck stop?

Downtown New Orleans?!?

it was freaky!

Sister...so far you guys ARE having a rough time...Have you ever heard of these places called National Parks?

There was really no time to do the scenic tour thing. Kind of a get to Florida in a hurry sort of thing. We actually did have a deadline. I'm sure as the road wore on they became even more in a hurry!

I am officially giving the "writing the TR" responsibilities to you.

NO WAY, Chickie! You won't do one?

 

[maroo]

Well, it was free money- which is awfully hard to come by now adays. Oh wait, there was that "stimulation check" from our illustrious gov't.

True...very true. But not free...we pay for it dearly, I am afraid.


Would you have??!!!

Heck no!



it was freaky!

I bet!



There was really no time to do the scenic tour thing. Kind of a get to Florida in a hurry sort of thing. We actually did have a deadline. I'm sure as the road wore on they became even more in a hurry!

Ugh. I can't imagine staying on I-10 that long...........



NO WAY, Chickie! You won't do one?

We are doing a Joint TR, right?? Are we each doing one?

he he. Found something to put here...

10. YeeHaw Bob - the inebriated parents with the kids!?!?!?!? EEK

1) MNSSHP -- the most fun we had in our week in October! It was like a MK EMH too. (Hint: Ride rides during the first parade!!)
2) Illuminations (I've never seen it, can you believe it??)
3) Night MK (I can't wait to do this in 20 more days!!! There's something magical about the parks at night.)
4) Spectro/Wishes (I've seen Spectro, but I've never seen regular Wishes in park. (I've only seen Hallowishes) I've only seen it from the Poly/Cali Grill.
5) Fantasmic (Loved it in 2006 chose not to do it with the kids this time because of the wait.)
6) YeeHaw Bob (Sounds fun!)
7) Night AK (AK EMH) (AK is my least favorite park...)
8) Watch Wishes from the Poly Beach (I've done this so it's far down on my list.)
9) MNSSHP (twice) (loved it, but I'd rather spend the money on something else than repeat it.)
10) Cirque La Nouba (Just doesn't appeal to me)

Wow that was hard. Some things you can do the same night like seeing Wishes and then going back to POR and seeing YeeHaw Bob. You don't have to just do one a night. I think you can fit these all in! MHSSHP can be done in one night... I don't think you need to do 2 nights. Although that could be fun too.

I can't wait to read up on it! Having observed a similar orientation first hand (albeit from the other side of the table), I can only imagine how much you needed that vacation!

As to Maroo's list, it's hard to say since many are things I've never done before. But here's my best effort.


1. Night MK (evening EMH)
2. Night AK (AK EMH)

Mom, are you planning on making me share as well?

I just thought these were so interesting!!!

It seems like there are lots of things you either love or really don't care for. I am amazed at where Cirque ended up on everyone's list...usually high up or far down.

Just wanted all of these in one post.

 

[maroo]

And mine and Liesa's....

1. Wishes/Spectro (but I can skip it...I will be back...)
2. Cirque - the more I look at this, the more I want to go...
3. MNSSHP (just once)
4. Watch Wishes from the Poly Beach
5. Night EMH at AK (this only lasts till 8:00 and can be paired with another)
6. Night EMH at MK
7. MNSSHP (go twice) - I would LOVE to do this...do we have time??
8. YeeHaw Bob - I want to see this...it is just a hard list
9. Illuminations - can you believe this is NINTH?!!?!?!
10. Fantasmic (I don't care to see this at all)

Now...to see Liesa's and LeeAnn's....and the rest of you guys...weigh in!

Now don't get me wrong, I don't want to offend anyone with my answers lmao:--- as if I've ever worried about that!), but I can see this bunch is wildly all over the board! Some are, in fact, topsy turned! All these options, given the fact that they are at Disney are better that an evening watching a free movie in the Walmart electronics department. So, if I have to do all of them, well, I guess I could live with that . But with careful planning, I think we could, like Tim said.

I must tell you, I did NOT look at your list. So without further sleep deprived blather (puncuated with inane nonsense) here is mine:

7. Wishes from Poly Beach; dibs on the hammock!
8. MNSSHP- twice, might be more that I am geared up for. Although, it does sound fun. once for rides, and parades. once for characters and villians mix and mingle.
9. Fantasmic! Even though I haven't seen it, it's still not super high on my must do list. It'll have to be left to a game time decision.
10. Illuminations (sorry, this was just lame. I totally don't get the ball thing, and I don't agree with the "one world= everyone will be happy message")

We are DEFINITELY going to try to fit all of this in...assuming that we can afford it all...

BUT...I forgot ONE!

Hoop Dee Do review!! But we have already decided we want to do it...now it is just to fit it all in....

Liesa - where would you rank Hoop Dee Do?


The reason I am asking is that I am not sure - with the schedule of YeeHaw Bob, Cirque, MNSSHP, Fantasmic...that we will actually be ABLE to see all of them...I think we can get most of them in...and definitely plan to pair some of the up...YeeHaw Bob pairs up with AK, if we want. As does watching Wishes on the beach. etc...

But it is truly a puzzle. Especially since we don't actually have the REAL schedule for MNSSHP or Fantasmic.

We are trying to get a budget together...and to do that...we sorta need to know what things we may be trying to fit in during our trip.

I feel like we should blow it out. There will never be another trip like this. I am sure that Liesa will only get one chance to do Disney with no kids. So...I say...let's go for it and try to fit it all in...budget be darned.

What do you guys think?

 

[jordanyosh]

You know I've always wanted to travel cross country in an RV. Really. Now I know why my parents never caved to that request.

Great storytelling.

The above ground graves are creepy, but imagine coffins all stinky and moldy and gross from the high water table...even creepier and nasty too.

 

[eandesmom]

1. MNSSHP (just one time)
2. Illuminations
3. Cirque - La Nouba
4. Fantasmic
5. Night MK (very late EMH - till 1 AM)
6. Night AK (AK EMH) (MUST RIDE EE IF YOU DO THIS)
7. YeeHaw Bob (I'd go see him just b/c he is called "YeeHaw Bob!"
8. Spectro/Wishes (on the same night)
9. Watch Wishes from the Poly Beach
10. MNSSHP (twice, if offered) (OK, can't see the point of twice)

The next day, we eventually made it to Louisiana where the roads are bad, and the feeling is most definitely “Southern”. I cannot describe this, so I won’t try- other than that it was about as different from Portland, Oregon is from Calcutta. We stayed in Downtown N.O. at some crappy drug dealing haven, which might have been mistaken for a campground by my parents. We did manage to unhitch the car and take a turn about the historic district. Is it just me or do the above ground graves creep anyone else out? I remember getting beneigts at the Café du Monde, the place that’ famous for them, and doing some browsing in a street market where my son HAD to try alligator jerky. He said he liked it.

LOL! Ok, I actually kind of liked those graves. In a creepy Anne Rice kind of way. I actually love NOLA. But yes, it is about as different from Portland (and Seattle) as...I don't know, Calcutta seems a stretch!

We did some cross country camping trips as a kid but never got further west than Wyoming up north and New Mexico down south. I'm not sure what it is about cross country power drives like the ones you describe (which I've done as an adult) but somehow it always seems to end up in bad campsites and scary truck stops. I think once you think about it as a place to crash, versus trying to find a place to stay that has merit on it's own...you run the risk of sleeping on the lawn at a rest stop in Montana and getting bit on the eyelid by a mosquito.

 

[punkin413]

1. MNSSHP (just one time) - in my opinion, the best party offered at MK
2. Spectro/Wishes (on the same night) - these are a must see
3. Night AK (AK EMH) - i've never been but i've seen some absolutely gorgeous pictures of AK at night. this is a goal for my next trip. and i hear that riding EE at night is awesome.
4. Fantasmic - my second-favorite nighttime show behind wishes. when mickey saves the day and starts shooting off fireworks from the top of the mountain, i just get goosebumps and all teary-eyed!
5. Watch Wishes from the Poly Beach - i saw a video of this last year and it looked really cool. plus indulging in a lapu lapu during said event is always a plus.
6. Night MK (very late EMH - till 1 AM) - you can get a good bit done during this.
7. Illuminations - i know i'm in the minority here but this is my least-favorite nighttime show. it's still wonderful, just not high on my list.
8. Cirque - La Nouba - i can't speak from firsthand experience as i've never seen it but we were gonna do it in 2008 and after i looked at the ridiculous prices i decided against it.
9. MNSSHP (twice, if offered) - i love this but i don't think it's worth it to do it twice in one trip.
10. YeeHaw Bob - since i don't know what this is, i'm putting it last.

(Cheesy Winkers!!!!, those machines are hungrier than my 18 year old at midnight)

cheesy winkers!!!!

Is it just me or do the above ground graves creep anyone else out?

they don't creep me out but i'm just weird. i learned during our last trip to savannah that the reason for the above-ground graves is that in the 1700's people used to go to graveyards on sunday after church and dine on top of the graves of their loved ones, so they used them as tables. and if you weren't seen in the graveyards on sunday after church, you were the subject of all sorts of negative gossip.

great start so far! can't wait to hear about the rest of the adventure.

 

[winkers]

Well that was a trip to remember!

Your birthday party at a truck stop is hillarious!

I'm starting to worry about the wisdom of my cross country family trip planned for this summer. And we aren't even using an RV...just a suburban.



maybe your mom can loan me some valum?

 

[jordanyosh]

maybe your mom can loan me some valum?

i may have some vicodin laying around somewhere...

 

[All7OfUs]

That's about it. Kind of like Disney restaurants, you either like 'em or not. I say try it once, you always have next time to pass.

Thanks for consolidating for us!

We are DEFINITELY going to try to fit all of this in...assuming that we can afford it all...

BUT...I forgot ONE!

Hoop Dee Do review!! But we have already decided we want to do it...now it is just to fit it all in....

What do you guys think?

Hoop would be about 6 or 7, since I"ve seen it before. But it is fun; although more fun with kids, I'd say. But fun nonetheless (sangria sure doesn't hurt), and the food is pretty good.

Yes, we do need to start putting some real #'s to this adventure- all good militaries make, then break, their budget!! Throwing caution to the wind, let's break the bank.

You know I've always wanted to travel cross country in an RV. Really. Now I know why my parents never caved to that request.

Great storytelling.

The above ground graves are creepy, but imagine coffins all stinky and moldy and gross from the high water table...even creepier and nasty too.

There'd certainly be more Vicadin popping in the world if more people did cave.

Creepy- for sure. Speaking of creepy, I'm watching Wuthering Heights right now. It's creepy too.

LOL! Ok, I actually kind of liked those graves. In a creepy Anne Rice kind of way. I actually love NOLA. But yes, it is about as different from Portland (and Seattle) as...I don't know, Calcutta seems a stretch!

I'm sure there's quite a history to be found on those graves, if one were to look past the creepy factor.

By the way, welcome back. Going now to see if you posted about your smoochy kind of weekend.

Yeah, why is that? They always end up weird.

cheesy winkers!!!!

they don't creep me out but i'm just weird. i learned during our last trip to savannah that the reason for the above-ground graves is that in the 1700's people used to go to graveyards on sunday after church and dine on top of the graves of their loved ones, so they used them as tables. and if you weren't seen in the graveyards on sunday after church, you were the subject of all sorts of negative gossip.

OK, I was creeped out before, now I'm just grossed out! Ewww, talk about paying respects.

Well that was a trip to remember!

Your birthday party at a truck stop is hillarious!

I'm starting to worry about the wisdom of my cross country family trip planned for this summer. And we aren't even using an RV...just a suburban.



maybe your mom can loan me some valum?

It certainly was. In fact, I remember a lot more from the road trip than I do of Disney.

It will be twice as fun, cuz you'll be in twice, no 3 times, a smaller vehicle. We could at least visit the crapper on the road, and make sandwiches on the move.

i may have some vicodin laying around somewhere...

is that legal??

 

[punkin413]

i just saw your post about adding hoop dee doo.....i say ABSOLUTELY!!! erica and i did this in 2008 and we loved it, way more than i thought we would. we had a blast. here's the part of our trip report about HDD:
