Maybe I'll do a trip report? Don't read! I haven't decided! NEW for 1/31! Read it!

[celerystalker]

Let's go back in time to our last full day in May. . . .

We left MGM around 4 and went to go swim.

As we were walking to our room (in the 80s), we noticed that the computer pool was closed. I asked the pool lady when it would be open and she said not until the next morning.
So we suited up and made the trek to the hippy dippy.

We had a beverage (well, I had two, Tammy had none – so that’s even, right?) and hopped in.

We were splashing around having a grand ole time when I notice a lifeguard standing over us.


Hmmm.

She asks us to move to the side a bit.

And continues staring into the pool.

I ask her what’s wrong.

Ms. Nice lifeguard lady says “Why?”

I said “Cuz it looks like you might have spotted some poop.”

She kinda smiles and shrugs.

Crap again!

Literally!

Again!

She calls over one of her fellow lifeguards for a second opinion.

He nods in agreement and then the announcement comes.

“Everyone, out of the pool!”

We run for our lives from the evil poop monster!

And then the men in the white containment suits come out.

Ha.

Not really, but they do have a really cool net with a biohazard bag.

They got rid of the poop and closed the pool down.

Marita, the lovely backstage cast member, said this situation is called a
“__________”
(marita! Help me out! what's it called?)

So now you know.

I conversed with other frightened guests and informed them of the computer pool closing.

We had solved the mystery!

There was a Poop Planter at Pop PCentury (I like alliteration. The "p" in pcentury is silent unless other "p" words precede it. Just so you know.)!!!!

We all knew the bowling pin pool would be next.


We relaxed on our last day and then I headed to Albuquerque. So sad to leave the mouse, but we shall return!

And this concludes my journey back in time to show you how I've historically "done" the mouse. hehe. That sounds dirty.

So we'll see how this trip pans out.

Never fear, dear reader! I still have more to post as we draw nearer to departure day.
We'll have pictures of clothes I've made, pictures of crocs, some info about disappearing peeps and more info about give kids the world.
And probably, since I'm a dork, a daily announcement of where I will be in some number of days.
Cuz I know you want to know.
In exactly two weeks, I will have just gotten off of Soarin'! And I will be listening to Anthony talk a million miles a minute about how cool it was while we head to the nemo ride so Jeanie can go "Nemo!" over and over. And of course she will be wearing her nemo outfit!

I think we just like being at Disney World. It doesn’t matter if we’re just sitting on a bench. To us, it’s home.

Now in present time....I've been there three times already...AND the last trip, we took it so slow and at a relaxing pace...I am even more in love with the World that I cannot wait to share it again.

I understand exactly - it wasn't until I had some days to just wander and really take things in that I fell for WDW heart and soul.

They even show Disney Resort TV! Yay! I don’t have to miss Stacy!

Oh Happy Day!

I ask her what’s wrong.

Ms. Nice lifeguard lady says “Why?”

I said “Cuz it looks like you might have spotted some poop.”

She kinda smiles and shrugs.

Crap again!

Sure it wasn't a Baby Ruth?

 

[celerystalker]

Hi princess!



Alright y’all. I’m extra hyper today, so you get some of the pics now.

SPOILER ALERT!!!! Utah and NAB - make sure you’re reading this where no little eyes are!!!!

Here’s Anthony’s pile of loot we got at dollar tree:

Here’s Jeanie’s - I think two of hers came from Dollar General.

What’s next?
Crafts!




We have to make autograph books:

Hmm.
Why are there 4 autograph books?
Because we’re giving some to Nab’s kids too! Yay!

Next we’ll make some bookmarks for Utah’s kids (cuz her autograph books are much better than mine):

I didn’t make one for Jordan. I figured he’d be too cool for school.

Then we’ll make bookmarks for our Meepy imaginary friends (imaginary friends, don’t look!):

Ok. All done.

Except I still need to make something for MommyP’s boys and Sandy’s daughter.
If she decides to come.
Oh. I didn’t make anything for lex’s kids either. Hmm.

I need ideas, people!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Cel - What do you mean "Don't look!" But they were right there in plain sight!!!!!!!!!!!! Cute!

I haven't been feeling all that crafty lately, but I sure know how to shop

Except that I'm rusty at finding things for really little kids.

That was quite a Disney Dollar Store haul! Hmmmmm . . .

 

[celerystalker]

But moo - you'll be swimming with us at bonnet creek - not at the poopy pop!!!!

hehehehehe.

 

[Hedy]

Love the meta TR.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Wow!

Fahbulous amber!

We are now in Delaware, still almost two hours from home and I am all caught up!

I have a shi'tzu sleeping on my lap and our akita is sleeping in the back seat, you two have adorable puppies.

You have given me lots of ideas for my upcoming long weekend in the world. Glow cubes have an on switch now?! Yay! I now have the layout of our two bedroom at bonnet creek and know they have buses but not very many.
My only question, what time are the hallowishes fireworks and where are yall meeting at the poly? PM me the answer to that last one if necessary please?

My friend rose, my 19yo dd and me will be at bonnet creek from the 27th to the 30th. My friend is my Disney enabler and time share owning buddy.

They will not be around Friday tho, they are headed to BUSCH gardens for their Halloween party.

You sound like a great person and Tammy sounds like a great friend.

Keep the updates coming, I look forward to reading more from you soon...

Colleen.

 

[UtahMama]

Celery!!!!! Thank YOU!!!!

How cute! I'll totally use it too!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Marita, the lovely backstage cast member, said this situation is called a
“__________”
(marita! Help me out! what's it called?)

Cel, it is called AFR (accidental fecal release)

Very cute stuff you made! No wonder you dont get any work done, LOL!

See ya real soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I think I am off for Croc shopping

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Amanda, may I have permission to post my September trip report details within yours?

My details are as follows,

Dd has backed out on me she wanted to go but now has a concert she would rather be at. Rose can't get her husband to commit cause he hasn't even asked for those days off at work yet.

I have been checking airfare and southwest looks like the best deal at about 150 rt.

Thursday, threadkiller meet for lunch at wcc, Friday, bonnet creek lazy river pool for the day and a trip reporter meet at the poly for fireworks. Do any of you think I should bother getting a ticket for mnsshp for all but the fireworks? Saturday, food and wine fest and another threadkiller meet at the beach club. Sunday, mini meet for lunch at espn club and flight home.

I would like to get lots of trip reporter photographs on Friday night if you all will allow me to take them. Nebo and smidgy know I am coming, if you all will allow me I would love to join you for the festivities.

I look forward to your replies,

Colleen. Aka. Tigger.belle.wannabe.

But moo - you'll be swimming with us at bonnet creek - not at the poopy pop!!!!

hehehehehe.

Okey doke, as long as they don't frown on pool hopping

It was tiggerwannabe's comment about the lazy river that sucked me in!!! But, I will need a ride over (no rental car) OR explicit directions if I need to take a taxi . . .

Disney has an acronym for barfing too, but I can't remember what it is. Protein spill or something like that!

Goog luck with your shopping, Marita!!!

Moo, if they had any kind of selection like that, I might have bought some. I was very disappointed in the selection. Huge store, a little 4 sided hanging display, that was it. So I got Tevas.
I think I am secrectly relieved, LOL

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Rhondalee says from dtd to the beach club, instead of making a right bonnet creek is to the left.

Hth...

Twb.

 

[eeyore45]

Marita check the Hallmark stores!! They have some new styles of flip flop crocs that have a cute ribbon type material instead of plastic m=type material in between toeseys

Celery I agree with MOO -- lol - you didnt warn me!! DD is a reader too -

She's driving us crazy - why doesnt she have friends o play with??? no one is home today!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Colleen, who is going to the tripwriters meets? Not that I am one, but I read them, hee hee.......

Pm if you dont want to post, but if you don't want to say, that is fine too.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Alls I know are the ones celery spoke of, Utah, nebo, celery and now me.
( I did a photographic trip report recently )

The other meets I spoke of are with threadkillers. They are folks that I have met thru a thread on the community forum.

And now I know there is another photographer and an up and coming photographer at our Friday meet.



I will most likely do a photo report from my long birthday weekend in the mudda land just like I did for my California trip for all to see...

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Did somebody say lazy river?????? I havent been in a pool or any kind of water in 10 or more years, LOL. My bathing suit is 15 years old (just ask WT)) And I dont really have a desire to go. But at the same time it sounds like fun..........

Oh, what to do??????????

 

[celerystalker]

tigger - I was just kidding about stalking Nebo. he doesn't have a cell phone so I'll just have to rely on maybe running into him somewhere.
hopefully.
so I can bum cigarettes off him.
Ack!
I forgot this is my trip report and tammy reads this one.
I'll take his cigarettes and stomp on them! really!
by the time you get to the world, we'll be winding down, so I'm sure we'll be at the pool a lot.
love the lazy river!

hopefully we'll see you around the resort.

marita and moo - the pool is really nice at bonnet creek. it should be fun.

I have a question.
what do I tell the guards at Pop if I pick people up? or if I visit?
just tell them the truth?
will they get mad?

sandy - I don't know if I'm doing a bookmark for your DD.
I am out of bookmarks, so I'd rather do something else.
Maybe a foamie tiara for her birthday?
I still have to think of something to make MommyP's boys too.
hmmm.


MINI UPDATE
Now it’s time to talk about the Peep Meet (no, it’s not the same as the meep meet. Or the moopy meepy meet).
Waaaay back in November of 2006, the illustrious Utah Mama decided she needed to become even more svelte and sleek. So she started a weight loss thread on the WISH board.
19,000 replies and 245,000 views later, the thread has become a monstrosity!
The group as a whole has lost lots of weight and become friends along the way.
So, much like me, Utah thinks “The more, the merrier!”
They have their own meet planned for the same time!
I posted on the thread in the very beginning once or twice, but didn’t seriously join until after my surgery. Since that time, I’ve loved the support as well as the weekly weigh in that keeps me focused.
So I’m going to try my best to make one or two of the meets scheduled. It’s just rough trying to juggle meeting my meepy moops, coordinating with Crystal’s bunch and taking care of Jeanie, while still having a vacation! Oh yeah. And I’m taking one full day and two half days to volunteer at Give Kids the World Village.
We’ll see what I’ll be able to do.

 

[eeyore45]

No problem Cel - anything you come up with will be wonderful!!

How AWESOME that you are giving of yourself and donating your precious time to Give Kids the World...


Cant wait to hear more about that!!

I've lost 5 of my intended 30 pounds. SHEEESH! Actually I've yo-yo'd probably 30 pounds. Someone out there has a voodoo doll of me that they keep pumping full of air. I wish they'd stop! Ya, that's the REAL reason I haven't managed to keep it off!
