[MATTERHORN]

I will get around to posting some pictures tonight, but as I flying home I started making a mental list of my favorite moments this weekend. I decided to share them with you lucky people…

1. Listening to Andrea yell into her phone…in the airport bathroom, in the airport, in Magical Express, etc, etc…dude maybe it’s time to get a new phone!

2. Getting lost as Andrea and I tried to find Magical Express in the airport. Geez you’d think they could maybe put up ONE sign!

3. The welcome wagon waiting for me and Andrea at the Pop bowling pin pool at 1am.

4. Tom getting out of the pool to give me a hello hug even though I was freshly showered and dressed.

5. Riding Tower of Terror and Rockin Roller Coaster for the first time…and possibly the last lol.

6. Group dinner at Kona – the food was amazing, so fun.

7. Meeting almost everyone at the Poly bar.

8. Doing the oompa loompa dance at the monorail crawl.

9. Taking over Mizner’s lounge during the monorail crawl.

10. Sleeping in Saturday and hanging out by the pool all day.

11. Citrico’s - too many to list, but a great dinner full of laughs and wonderful company. The food and service were awesome. I loved the bed the servers made out of two chairs for a sleeping child.

12. Post Citrico’s –
a. Walking from the GF to the Poly on the beach to watch Wishes. Watching everyone make a lounge chair sandwich…will post the picture later.

b. Umm…can’t post that…family board…but it was pretty darn funny.

c. Sitting in the front of the monorail with Andrea, Roseanne and Corrina and terrorizing poor Kyle the monorail driver. There were so many camera flashes going off up there he said he felt like he was driving the paparazzi around. Kyle was a great sport but I don’t think he will ever be the same.

d. Watching Spectro for the first time with everyone.

e. Running to Splash Mountain as soon as Spectro was over so we could get a ride in before closing.

13. Epcot rope drop.

14. Riding all the rides in Future World with 10 of my DIS board peeps!

15. Finding a bottled iced green tea in the Epcot Japan pavilion that I have not had since my Japan trips. I was so excited to find it! (This was also the saddest, most emotional part of my trip but that is another story).

16. Having dinner at CA Grill with Andrea, Jerry and John. Talking Lost with John!!!

17. Running through Magic Kingdom in the rain during EMH after the CA Grill dinner…loved this!!

18. Finally - Everyone asking me how I was feeling, how was my back doing, etc. Really you are a great group of people and I am so glad I came on this trip.

I do apologize if I was a little boring. I never felt 100% on this trip which slowed me down and made me tired or grouchy at times. But I really had a blast and if there is a trip next year I am going to do my best to go!

Great list Amy!!! You hit pretty much everything I was thinking of and a few more. You forgot the cowboy dance in there, you were just a dancing fool this weekend!!!

Andrea

oh that's right, I did the cowboy dance first!! LMAO!

 

[MATTERHORN]

That was the best!! And you did that alot!!

Oh, thanks for the introduction to Long Island Iced Teas!!! Those were fun!!

Andrea

Andrea

I don't even remember why I started doing that.

I remember I was doing the oompa loompa dance because Corrina called the munchkins oompa loompa's.

You were a lot of fun after that Long Island Iced Tea! Since Corrina bought you the first one I made a deal with her and told her I would buy your next one but you never made it to number 2.

Favorite pre-Long Island Iced Tea Moment:

Andrea: "I don't want to try a Long Island Iced Tea...I don't like iced tea"

I just thought of another one...

the lifeguard at the bowling pin pool with the superhero hearing who would join in on our conversation even though we were in the middle of the pool.

Yeah, and then me giving anyone we ran into our room number!!

He was so annoying, chatting you up! Corinna and I come to save you and none of us could get away from him. No matter how far we drifted, he heard everything!!!

Andrea

Corrina and I appreciated you giving out our room number and than bailing LOL.

The lifeguard was fine, but he wasn't really "lifeguarding" as much as chatting us up. I kept looking around making sure no kids were drowning.

 

[bound2travel]

Oh, and if anyone is wondering, yes I did spill a little wine, but I never spilled an entirely full glass of wine and I never spilled on anyone else the entire trip. . .really, just ask EVERYONE.

That's because I spilled my entire glass of ice water on you I'm really am sorry about that - no more clinking glasses for me.

I had a great time spending 12 days in Disney and meeting up with most of you. Now that the dates are picked for next year, I can better plan my trip to ensure I'm there the entire time you all are there.

Amy glad to hear your back is doing better.

 

[sand2270]

Patty, had a blast with you up until the very last minute in the airport bar!! Glad you are home safe!!

Andrea

Patty, did you and Darcy get stuck in the slowest security line ever?

All the other lines people were whipping through and our's was at a stand still. I think we were in the training lane...seriously thought we were going to miss our flight.

They went the other way!! But still, that was horrible, wasn't it?? Seriously, they were like doing training on our line. Brutal! Poor Amy in a panic about boarding! Luckily everything worked out okay and we even got to eat!!!

[Floydian]

Ok, Just had lunch and I am now perking up a bit.
I just wanted to thank all of you for making me feel welcome into your group. I know many of you had already met before and already had those friendships established, so it was nice to be welcomed in. Thanks!!!

Agreed! It was so amazing that all I had to do was give my name and it was like "Ok! You're in! Now lets have fun!"

I saw a large banner for Constitution Day and a large group of people gathered in a circle, but I couldn't tell what they were doing...

That would explain the large contingent of young partially (or more) drunken young folks in Norway speaking something that was similar to, but clearly not, German.

Lastly, I just want to say thank you to everyone. I feel so lucky to have met so many kind, caring, generous, and fun people. You'll never know how much this week truly meant to me.

Mine was not too bad and I got to the gate as we started to board. I made poor Darcy finish her wine fast and than her plane was delayed. Sorry Darcy.

I think that was the most fun I have had in a long time, thanks all...

Teresa, are the dates set for next year in May?? I missed that and hope we can decide later when we get closer.

Back to work and reality...so boring!!

Apparently the Lemonade Slushies in Germany are really good, so much so that some people went back for seconds and thirds and even managed two-fisted drinking!!!

Oh yea, and no Jagermeister for Patty.
