MICKEY & US #19. The End - Controversies and other matters.

[suevee]

Hi

We will be staying at the CR again because price and location can't be beat! We will get 10 nights for $740. Also like I posted before a two day run might not have been a fair shot. Our Feb stay will determine whether we return in June to CR or wait till Oct when SoG will be reopened. We plan to buy AP's. So with the APs and Sog rates - two trips to WDW cost the same as one trip to the beach in Bethany, Delaware. I prefer WDW to the beach.

First let me thank you for your great reports
They were some of the very best I've read on this board (& like you, I've read alot)

I'm expecting you now to go back to mine (somewhere in April) from when we went in December

I totally agree with your comments about trip reports. I've read them since before I was a veteran of the boards and promised myself I'd always post a response (even if it's just a thankyou) because after posting my own & getting a precious few responses, I realized it's important to respond to peoples reports.

If you are going to take the time to share with us, then we should make the time to respond to you

OK, so we've met Meriweather/Nancy (Hi), but what is RADP?

And my only objection to your reports at all was your comment about us changing to Celcius What you expect us lazy Americans to adjust to a system that makes sense
Powers of ten? What's that? Not like our money system is based on that Next thing you know PH, you'll want us to change to metric..................again a simpler powers of ten system, how absurd

I too hope you will be coming back & reporting soon

Can't you just start posting stories about home on the Community board

Thanks

I truely enjoy your report. Spent my days reading each one. And I to was sadden to see it end. I felt like I was experiencing each moment with both of you. Cant wait for July to come to begin my adventure.

Hi yepod
RADP is a newsgroup....rec.arts.disney.parks

:-D

Poohshoney,

Wonderful travelogue!! I think I speak for most all your readers when I say I feel as if I had been there with you. I feel as if we know you and Roland, the patient and dear man.

I agree with the previous post that it's a waste not to get at least two trips from an AP. You are about $800 to the good already on your next trip, if you resolve that it's just too tempting an opportunity to pass up. You have a lot of friends on the boards here who would remain keenly interested in giving you all the latest tips and hints to make best use of your euros and pounds and dollars to have another fabulous vacation.

Thank you for the most interesting trip report I've ever read!!

Roland says how about a whip-round instead of a petition?!
Samantha we did do the Boardwalk but only briefly and I was SO tired at the time. That was where the bagel and cream cheese obsession started! I'm sure you’re more like the AKL mum – you wouldn’t be wondering about it if you were the other kind of mum!
I'll be thinking about you in Feb suevee, with all fingers crossed that everything’s perfect this time.
Thanks a lot yepod and will do! As Nancy said (told you all she knows everything!) RADP is a newsgroup. Don’t tell them but I like the Dis better. Stories from home on the CB – that put a huge grin on my face!
Thankyou madam (that was fun to type!) and don’t forget your trip report – us addicts need our fix!
Virginia – thanks so much! The bit about the euros, pounds and dollars made me laugh (and don’t forget the marks – just because the government’s scrapped them doesn’t stop us thinking in them). I used all of those when planning the trip and if you translate things into enough currencies often enough you’d be amazed how much cheaper you can eventually make them sound! Hope your boys had a great holiday. I think their train journey might be the one along the Rhine. I hope so as it’s so pretty! Can they write a trip report – that’s one I'd LOVE to read?!

 

[suevee]

Thank you for your good wishes. If you and Roland ever decide to check out the DC-Baltimore area give me a shout!

Hey Poohshoney. I just found out who the Mum was that was riding in the stroller while the kids walked. I read a trip report by DixieAmos, and she describes MANY occassions where she rides and the kids walked. Just between you and me TONS of other things happen as well. Maybe this was HER!!

 

[Deb8821]

I loved to read your reports. I know it takes an enormous amount of effort and thought to write great detailed reports. Yours were just terrific to read. Thanks so much for posting. I cant wait for your to return on your next trip!!! Thanks again

 

[Poohshoney]

Thankyou suevee, that is so sweet of you. I dream of touring America so you never know!
That’s funny Samantha – I wonder if it was her!
Thanks Deb8821 – I can’t wait to return – I just don't know when that will be… sigh. You’re right, it was a lot of work but the rewards made it so worthwhile. Our holiday seemed longer, we’ve got a record that will help keep the memories alive and the kind comments have made my day/week/month/year!

 

[dznyfan40]

Thank you so much for your terrific trip reports...just the ticket to get my family excited for our upcoming trip. I especially loved your people watching stories.

I'm looking forward to your next trip, so we can all share in it!

Bravo,

Beth

Thank you so much for your wonderful report. It took me 3 days to read them all [I don't get much time on the computer]. We're going through withdrawl, we've been to WDW 2 years in a row and don't plan on making the trip this year, so it was great to relive your trip with you. Thanks again.

 

[Poohshoney]

Thanks Beth – I LOVE people watching! Best entertainment there is and it’s free!
Thanks cshaffer21 – I hope we both get back soon!

 

[WDW Poly Princess]

I just finished reading your report, it was great! I'm sad its over!

 

[luvmy2sams]

I've just finished reading your entire trip report in one sitting. Never mind that I should have been asleep hours ago! Wonderfully well-written and entertaining. Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

 

[Poohshoney]

Thanks to you both for your kind comments - they're much appreciated.
Me too Crystal! It was a truly wonderful time.
Wow Angela - that's a lot of reading! Hope you're not too tired today!

 

[idors8]

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading your trip reports! So much detail! I felt like I was there. I am going to put the word "strop" into my vocabulary! I laughed so much at that one. Have you ever thought of becoming a travel writer! Thanks so much for a great read!

 

[Poohshoney]

You're welcome Idors8! I'm a struggling writer - I hope to be a published one one day! But the big question is - are you just going to add strop to your vocabulary or are you going to indulge in one as well?!

 

[the Legend]

Better late than never!

Just read the whole series .... well I didnt 'read' it .... I loaded it into my Speech program and had it read it back to me ....

I remember your previous TR because it was around the time I last visited. Its amazing how you take all the lessons from the first and apply it to the second. My second trip to WDW was the best ever and my third in September will set out to do what you did ... park and resort hopping ....

It was great to read your series. I hope you can make it again in the future if only for your adoring fans on the DIS .... ;-)

 

[Poohshoney]

Ok Legend - you've got me cofused! I know, I know, such an easy thing to do! I haven't written a trip report before. This was my first trip to WDW and I didn't know about the Dis with either Disneyland. I wonder who you've got me confused with - let me know if you ever find out! But the big question has to be - what accent did I have with your Speech program? Did it capture my whole Mary syndrome? Thanks for making me smíle!
On a sidenote - have you joined the postcard exchange on the Community Board? Nutsy's desperately looking for non-Americans and the more the merrier anyway!
