Most Expensive / Moist Exhausting Continued - Final thoughts and wrap-up

[norybell]

Great update, Glenn! I'm really enjoying your trip around the WS. And that panorama is awesome!

I'd give a lot for a Grey Goose Slushie right about now...

 

[JLVermillion]

Great chapter and pictures. I loved the wine talk with the CM in FranceI can not wait for our May trip

 

[glennbo123]

Thanks for the links 11I subbed and do try some Tea and Digestive

You've got it.

Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it. (I am too!) Thanks!

Me too. (Even though it's still morning.)

Thank you.

May should be a fantastic time to go...good weather, and the major summer crowds haven't started yet. Will you be doing a TR?

I am planning on doing a trip report. I do however have to get better at uploading from photo bucket. I started a PR this winter that I think I am going to do over. When it is just DH and myself we really just take it day by day just relaxing. The only thing I have set in stone is Dis meet on the 7th. I think I may mark some ding reservation this time for the new Mexican place in Epcot. I also want to go see AK and maybe eat at Jikos.

 

[Avery&Todd]

I can NOT believe that not only did I miss a cut up head shaving over there, I missed an update over here, people discussing my threads AND like 3 pages of chatter!!

that's what I get for leaving work early and then not getting on the computer again until Saturday after the 1st of 2 baseball practices today..



Im just pittiful!!

is there like a corner I can go stand in???

Good....make sure you advertise on here to let us know when you've started.

Photobucket's not that hard. Feel free to ask a question if you get stuck.

Relaxing sounds nice!

Quite frankly, I can't believe it either. You were conspicuously absent.

What's even moe unbelievable was that we had that much chatter without your help!

You and 3prettyprincesses have to get your acts together! She let kid-obligations pull her away too.

is there like a corner I can go stand in???

Yes. Unless, wait....you don't live in a silo, do you?

Ahhhh.... life on the DIS.

Don't you hate it when you turn around and have multiple pages to catch up on on all of your subscribed threads?

 

[englishrose47]

I' m soooo dedicated I even post from work

Wait a minute! you mean that life actually goes on WITHOUT me interrupting it???

GASP!

the horror!!

You and 3prettyprincesses have to get your acts together! She let kid-obligations pull her away too.

*sigh* the job of a dedicated and hard working parent is never done...is it???

Yes. Unless, wait....you don't live in a silo, do you?

I didnt think so, but with all this grain and corn just lying around, perhaps I should take a closer look!!

I' m soooo dedicated I even post from work

Me too!! I find it actually easier to post at work, since there are fewer distractions than at home...



(should I have actually said that outloud??)

 

[CreightonsMomma]

How exciting is this - I come back to TWO updates.

Love your family pics from Epcot and your stitched photo of the showcase is amazing. So beautiful. And the family picture from France is hilarious. I wonder what that guy was thinking when he took that picture.

I wish I had one of those slushies while I was there. I just ran out of time. I didn't really have much of a plan with my son being so young, I pretty much just went by his cues and he was not happy being strapped down in his stroller all day. Now I need to plan another trip back just for a slushie. Sounds like a good enough reason to me...

I'm going to search for the money tree now. Can't wait for your next update.

 

[glennbo123]

Oh, I never do that.

GASP!

Obviously it wasn't easy, but yes.

Nope.

Don't I know it!

Well, in his defense, people who are used to point-and-shoot cameras have trouble with DSLR's where you have to actually look through the viewfinder -- they've gotten used to seeing the image on the screen on the back of the camera, and it doesn't work that way with these.

That's all the reason you need. I don't know about your next trip, but soon he'll be old enough that a Kim Possible mission could help keep him occupied. They've done a great job in making the World Showcase more "kid friendly".

I'm going to search for the money tree now. Can't wait for your next update.

Let me know if you find it! A money tree, I mean. Or the next update for that matter....I haven't started writing it yet.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

A squishee! Isn't that what they call them on Veggie Tales?

We'd have to taste the two side-by-side. Between trips is too long to have a good comparison.

A side-by-side comparison is sure to be the most accurate and scientific approach. Really, it's necessary - for the sake of research!!

They might be called squishees on VeggieTales - I was thinking of the Quik-E-Mart on the Simpsons. Is that comparison allowed, or is that too Universal Studios?

Your dedication to science Wingnut is commendable.

Oh yes, the Simpsons. Sure, that's allowed...we have a picture of Homer drooling over doughnuts posted often enough, they have to be.

Here I am posting from work again !!! Shhhhh!! Oh it's okay Dan only goes on my thread from work !!!
I was called in early as my co worker had to leave as her 2 year old fell smashed his front teeth and possibly has a fracture of the arm!!! Apart from a Full Blown Grand Mal Seizure it has been pretty quiet !! I may get some serious Dis time in !!

 

[glennbo123]

Good idea....only post on other threads and you'll be okay.

Ouch! I hope the little tyke is okay.

Apart from a Full Blown Grand Mal Seizure it has been pretty quiet !! I may get some serious Dis time in !!

Was it you or a patient that had the seizure?

My apologies to all who thought that this chapter would feature “whale’s tails”, but alas, no. The chapter title just refers to the fact that we toured the World Showcase counterclockwise, and I figured that in this chapter I’d be able to get through our adventures in the U.K. and France. Of course we also went through Canada, but adding “I see Ottawa” to that rhyme just spoils the rhythm.

Thank heavens. And I can see where Ottowa doesn't work. Didn't keep the song from getting stuck in my head, thanks for that.

I wonder if it’s possible to get it printed somewhere in original size? It’d almost be like a wallpaper border.

I bet vista print could do it as a banner....VERY cool!

In the store, we found some Disney character ornaments that we liked and bought them, but you won’t believe this -- back home, we completely forgot about them and they never made it onto our Christmas tree this past year. I ran across them in January. Whoops. Oh well, next year.

That is SO something I would do.

Then I came across a thing where you could look up your family’s coat of arms. A cast member helped me find it, and I started to prepare my camera to take a picture, but the cast member wouldn’t let me. That’s a privilege for paying customers only. You have to pay to get that kind of info.! Maybe I would have, if I believed that my family actually had a coat of arms. Oh yes. Way, way back, the “glennbo’s” were aristocracy! I think it’s all a bunch of hooey. I should have told her that my name was Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen. (He was number one!) I’ll bet they somehow have a coat of arms even for that.

Even Smitty would have to pay.

I, on the other hand, had decided that it was time to spend the last of my money from Jordan on a beverage. What I had in mind was a Grey Goose Citron Lemonade Slush. Or, a Grey Goose Slushie, for short. We told the girls where we were going and headed off to the stand where these little glassfuls of heaven are created.

I asked Judy to document the moment for my trip report. Me and my Grey Goose Slushie.

Ahhhh. On a hot day like this, this was absolutely magnificent! Thanks Jordan!

they are a little glass of heaven!!!!!!!!!!

Fun world tour

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Of course we also went through Canada, but adding “I see Ottawa” to that rhyme just spoils the rhythm.

Well, we certainly can't have that.

Every time you post one of these, you convince me that I need to figure out how to stitch photos together. That's so cool! Nice work.

Marlene grabbed one of their famously-named soaps, shoved it under James’ nose and said, “Here James….smell Beaver Butt!” (Even if this is the first chapter of my trip report that you’ve read, you can probably tell which child is the older sibling in that scenario.) Anyway, we got a laugh out of that -- it’s not everyday that you hear that sentence.

Yes, we certainly don't hear sentences like that in my home. Not at all.

In the store, we found some Disney character ornaments that we liked and bought them, but you won’t believe this -- back home, we completely forgot about them and they never made it onto our Christmas tree this past year. I ran across them in January. Whoops. Oh well, next year.

The kids posed for a hat picture and durn, it would’ve been a great one if I had done a better job focusing.

Don't you hate it when that happens? That little view-screen on the back of the camera fools us at times, too.

I should have told her that my name was Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen.

Spongebob!

I asked a cast member if he was aware that elsewhere in DisneyWorld, specifically at the gift shop at Animal Kingdom Lodge, they sell “Goats do Roam” and “Goat Door” wines. With his French accent he said, “No, no. That’s ‘Côtes du Rhone’ and ‘Côte d’Or’.” I said, “I realize those are French wines you are describing, but what I’m talking about are African wines with names that are a play on words of their French counterparts.” He was seriously not amused at this news, and since I’d made his day, I decided it was time to make a hasty exit.

So you surrendered, then?

Up next: A more rockin’ phone call

Hmm. That's odd. My Pun Detector is going off again.

 

[englishrose47]

Good idea....only post on other threads and you'll be okay.That's my plan !!!!



Ouch! I hope the little tyke is okay.

Me too will find out today!!!



Was it you or a patient that had the seizure?

Me they called 911 and had me admitted to the Psych Ward

 

[glennbo123]

Thank heavens. And I can see where Ottowa doesn't work. Didn't keep the song from getting stuck in my head, thanks for that.

You were worried, weren't you.

Others did try to make Ottawa work....I'd rather not comment on the results.

I bet vista print could do it as a banner....VERY cool!

I did find a vendor, although not vistaprint. I'll report back when I see the results.

That is SO something I would do.

Glad we're not the only ones!

Even Smitty would have to pay.

I'm sure they'd find something to sell him.

they are a little glass of heaven!!!!!!!!!!

Fun world tour

They are; it was! The timing was great for it.

Thanks!

Well, we certainly can't have that.

The beginnings of total anarchy.

Every time you post one of these, you convince me that I need to figure out how to stitch photos together. That's so cool! Nice work.

It really couldn't be any easier. Windows Live Photo Gallery.

Yes, we certainly don't hear sentences like that in my home. Not at all.

Maybe you would, if you'd have named one of your sons "James".

Don't you hate it when that happens? That little view-screen on the back of the camera fools us at times, too.

Well, yeah, I should have caught that one. But sometimes it's hard to tell if something's a little out of focus by the viewscreen. But like I said, that one I should have caught.

Spongebob!

I'm glad someone recognized that reference! That says a lot about you Cap'n.

So you surrendered, then?

To the French? Are you kidding?! That's their job.

Hmm. That's odd. My Pun Detector is going off again.

Oh really? That is odd!

There, I just set off your Sarcasm Detector for you too. I must sound like a full-out air raid where you are.

 

[glennbo123]

Me they called 911 and had me admitted to the Psych Ward

I was afraid of that.
