[cmp1111]

I have pics of Bob doing the waterslide but he forbid me to post them.
Sorry!

Yeah, yeah. Does he read this? Just sayin...

Great update. I love the "now and then" photos.

ETA: FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[puggymom]

Um, what exactly is a slinky dog?

I love Splash, and missed on my last trip, it was down for refurb in Feb.

TTA is a great place to relax in the park, love the then and now pics!


ETA: I'm second!

Mel, the update is great. I wonder how long that little man stood there after you left ?

Do the boys always get along so well, or is it Pixie Dust? They look so happy in the pics.

You tell Goofy that Slinky Dog is just fine. They remind me of my fav., doxies!

 

[Muffinygood]

I don't like that new rule

You've got 5 hours till I go to bed LY Mel!

OMG, I missed you again JO! Sorry!

Well, Mel, you missed Jo again. It's been 5 1/2 hours now. Guess she'll just have to catch up tomorrow because we want an update TONIGHT!!!!!

Dang. I tried!!!! There was drama, see below...

Hmmm...yet another tour I might need to try. I really don't have that much interest in trains, but it sounds interesting and a good way to get in the park early early!

Yep, it was cool to be there before everyone. I think that the only other people were there for the Cinderella's Table...

Ummmmm. THought we were getting an update today

Yep...see drama....below.....


-------------------------
So, my boys have music lessons on Sunday at 2pm usually. We've been trying to get a weekday evening for years (2years) but neither guy could work it out. (Gus plays drums and Goofy/SD plays guitar) Finally, SD's teacher called before the 4th and said he talked to the drum guy and he can do Mondays at 6 pm. Guitar guy said that worked for him too, so we would switch both boys to 6 pm on Monday.

Then drum guy was gone for 2 Sundays in a row since we've gotten home. SO, no lessons for Gus at all since the second week of June!
Tonight was first. He calls at 5:35 pm and says yeah just wanted to touch base to say that tonight is NOT our lesson.....WTH? yeah it is. Nope, I told guitar guy that I could only do every OTHER Monday.... Didn't get that message, sorry.
So, he said well if you can get over here before 6 I can see Gus real quick and then we'll set up a make up time.
Well, with rush hour traffic I made it at 5:58 pm.... DANG! We are having a lesson on Wedesday with him and now I have no idea if we are going to keep the Monday (every other) as I want Gus to have a lesson EVERY week. Or I have to keep him on Sunday at 2 and drive SD on Monday at 6 GRRRRRRRRRR!
Ok,
the long and short of this was................I had the update ready to go and was Previewing it before submitting when he called and I literally DROPPED everything and RAN out the door!
SORRY JO!

Love the pool breaks! We only got one though because every time we left the parks it started to rain!

 

[Muffinygood]

You all get a bonus: A video of the boys on TTA!

 

[Donald is #1]

Apparently Bob was on a different version of the TTA than I was.

 

[dshouse4]

Great trip report Mel! Thanks for sharing.

 

[whogirl'smom]

I can't even imagine what our picture looked like on Splash; I was already drowned from the log coming down the hill just as we rounded the first curve. Niiiice. You guys look great! I looked like I had been smacked in the side of the head with a bucket of water.

The video was funny, like tomorrowland space authority!

 

[Goofyluver]

So, uhhh...lemme get this straight?

Puke, Nascar, illegal booze, and fistfights?

Yup...sounds like my family reunions!

Sorry I've been away for a few days! I missed your great updates!

 

[Muffinygood]

Yeah, yeah. Does he read this? Just sayin...

Great update. I love the "now and then" photos.

ETA: FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. He's reading.... Thanks, we always have pics of the boys on this ride. Seems natural since they're facing us...
You are first. But, you don't win a funnel cake. Janet's already getting two and Katt one. I am going to have to get a job to afford anymore.....But, I will let you have some of my weiner salad....

Um, what exactly is a slinky dog?

ETA: I'm second!

Oh, Mo! If you tell me you haven't seen Toy Story, I swear I'll Splash is SD's favorite, and it's right up there for me too! I'm sure you'll get to ride in Aug!
They are growing up fast!
And, yes, you are 2nd!

Mel, the update is great. I wonder how long that little man stood there after you left ?

Do the boys always get along so well, or is it Pixie Dust? They look so happy in the pics.

You tell Goofy that Slinky Dog is just fine. They remind me of my fav., doxies!

I wonder how long he was there too. Probably a while.
They always get along that well. They DO NOT fight. I'm not sure why. There's 5 years between them, so you'd think they would. I hope it holds out till the oldest goes to college.
I just noticed that he has a Slinky Dog pin on the hat he's wearing in the "then" photo!

Love the pool breaks! We only got one though because every time we left the parks it started to rain!

It rained alot for us too, but we had good luck with timing.

Apparently Bob was on a different version of the TTA than I was.

Yes, this is frequently the case with Bob. He'll take a pic on vacation and I'm like, "Where were you? I DID not see that!"

Great trip report Mel! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

Yes. Cuz you were!

So, uhhh...lemme get this straight?

Puke, Nascar, illegal booze, and fistfights?

Yup...sounds like my family reunions!

Sorry I've been away for a few days! I missed your great updates!

Dude, we might be related! Add in some gambling and blasphemous speech and we got us a reunion!
Missed you LOTS!

ohhhh

Janet Missed it by that much

Flashback photos... Depressing aren't they ?? I did one on my PTR showing the kids growing up before my eyes.

Janet.. not only is Mel "SNEAKY" but she as an attitude.. and will use it when somone tries to take her spot in a picture line
(note to self... do not cross Mel unless I have her glasses

Well Jo.. Mel has an excuse for why she posted AFTER you went to bed.. looks Legit.

The Boys LOVE Space Mountain... ya should have hooked up with me sooner... I could have gotten them on Space Mountain with a Fast Pass 1st.. then you grab a SECOND PAIR... run to Splash Mountain... then grab BTMRR FP's while you went back to RIDE Space Mountain AGAIN..

 

[jcc0621]

Love It

This ride down, we meandered to the photo desk and I managed to almost get into a fistfight with a little Malaysian man. He REFUSED to wait in the line. I said, “Excuse me, the line is here...” The photo people said, “Sir, Sir you need to go over and get in the line.” Blank stare. I say (while pantomiming), “the line, over there, you GET IN, move, hellooooo?”
Nothing. I get nothing.
It was hot. There were ALOT of us waiting and I almost lost it. I’m not proud.
He was still standing at the counter being ignored when I was paid and gone. Oh well. Sometimes, I think I’m just too worried about the rules....

He probably understood every word being said

1. This is the FIRST Itzakadoozie pop of my trip. Pay attention people. There will be more.

When I purchased it, the girl said I was the first person all day to say it correctly.

Then she should have given it to you for free

I have pics of Bob doing the waterslide but he forbid me to post them.
Sorry![/QUOTE]

And who made him the boss of you

Tune in next time for our evening plans...

Ugh, how aggravating. Hope it gets straightened out for you.

ohhhh

Janet Missed it by that much

That's okay I already got my funnel cake, which according to Mel has less calories in FLA!

 

[cmp1111]

You are first. But, you don't win a funnel cake. Janet's already getting two and Katt one. I am going to have to get a job to afford anymore.....But, I will let you have some of my weiner salad....

Oh, gee, thanks. But I don't really like funnel cake, anyway. I just wanted the glory.

 

[Muffinygood]

[jcc0621]

Are you a communist or something? I thought it was a law theat everyone has to like funnel cake

 

[PrincessV]

He wants to be called SlinkyDog. (how this is better than goofy I don’t know ) So, I will change his name to SD. This will be confusing for some of you, I understand. Sorry!

Truth is, I can never keep track of everyone's fictitious character names. I rely on context to help figure out what's happening to whom... which can be pretty funny when I get them mixed up!

sigh. I can't WAIT to ride Splash once again. Leo has vetoed it infinitum, but I'm still hopeful my day will come...

1. This is the FIRST Itzakadoozie pop of my trip. Pay attention people. There will be more.

Oh boy, I love Itzakadoozies! Or would the plural be Itzakadoozi?

They’ve grown up quite a bit!

They sure have! I just finished making Leo's photobook and was kind of shocked by the number of WDW photos, but I like being able to see him in the same place at different ages.

 

[cmp1111]

Nope, too sweet and heavy feeling for me. I am a salty snack girl.

What is this strange pop of which you speak? Never heard of it.

Space Mtn. is my LEAST favorite ride. I always ride though, so I don’t disappoint the kiddos but OOOOHHH. I hate it. SKEERRY!

I refuse to ride Space Mountain. I would love it if the ride was smoother. I'm a huge coaster fan but don't like feeling like I have whiplash when I get off. DH is really the only one that wants to ride it though. He just drags DS on with him.

Great then and now pics!

So, my boys have music lessons on Sunday at 2pm usually.

Why does it have to be so hard to get our kids schedules to work out? I cringe when I think of people with five or six kids actually doing music lessons, soccer and scouting all at the same time.
