National Lampoon's Fun w/Dis Friends 2010!! ~ DAY 7-Final :( 6/27

[Sooze]

Don't you worry, Cherie! We know you have a life! The painting night sounds AWESOME! I wonder if they do any of that around Indy? Right up my alley!

Come back when you can.. we will be here!

 

[Underdog369]

I think it's DJay and my goal next time to get DS to hang out with us so you and DH can ride a ride together...It may help to have Erin and Dylan around....

Amen bruthuh!

No girl, all you need is a set of them fine purty teeth and then you won't be bothered no mo!



Blue, your a sweet lady, and there are just nasty people out in the world looking out for them and them only, don't even give those rude people a second thought.
When your heart is golden, you end up getting the blessings. Stay true.

I can just imagine the look on the rude ladys face as you smile at her in the goofiest way with those teeth. She wouldn't be able to see the soarin' film. Just feel the movements. That's Justice...

i'm just getting time to get caught up on my many TRs and pre-TRs and i started thinking to myself, "ya know, i haven't seen blue's TR on my subbed threads in awhile." well, duh!!!!! because you have a new thread!!!! off to play catch-up now.

 

[punkin413]

I have an announcement to make!!!! I was going to wait until I get to this part on my TR but we didn't take the tour until our 2nd to last day. So, it would take a while and I'm bursting at the seams to tell you that.........










WE ARE NOW DVC OWNERS!!!!!!!


After much thought, we decided to buy 160 points at Animal Kingdom Villas.

(Thanks to WendyO & glennbo for the helpful info!!)

We may add more points later. But for now they matched our points for this year and we also got $15 off per point. It was a deal we just couldn't pass up. I must say it feels awesome to be "in the club". Hopefully we will get our 1st trip booked soon. I'm waiting for our package to arrive to get all the technical stuff done but I think we may be going back this summer. We will get to try out our home resort at AKV with a savannah view! Soooo.....who else is going in June????

awesome!!!!!! congrats! that's so exciting! we really want to do this one day but i need to pay off some student loans and credit cards first.

 

[punkin413]

You may remember that we have found that DS has severe food allergies. He is allergic to peanuts and green peas (legumes). We have to carry an epi-pen. We found all of this out last summer. This is our first trip to WDW knowing about his allergies. I contacted WDW before our trip and filled out some forms at their request and sent them back. They put this information on our reservation as well as all of our ADR's. Then they sent me many .pdf files of what snacks were safe around WDW along with counter service items that should be safe too. They always say to check with a chef before ordering and that's just what I did. This did take some time and held up the line a bit. I'm not happy to report that I felt extremely uncomfortable doing that and what made it worse was all the snickering and "sigh's" coming from the people behind me.

If any of those people are reading my TR, I'd like to pause and take this moment to tell you to shove it where the sun doesn't shine!!! GET IN ANOTHER LINE!!!! THIS IS MY CHILD WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!! GET A GRIP ON YOURSELVES!!!

Ok, I'm back now...... Seriously, I couldn't believe the rudeness. And they KNEW what we were doing because the chef and manager came out with a binder full of food labels for me to read through. Let's now look at this from my perspective minus the people behind me...... I'm having to figure out what item DS wants to eat, then get told that he may not be able to have the cheese burger because of the bread. I have to look through the ingredients list for the chicken nuggets, then approve it. The cashier has to get approval from the manager. SEVERAL people checked and re-checked our order before I finally got our food. I left the counter with a tray full of food and a nervous stomach and wasn't sure if I even wanted to feed DS what was there. Good news is that he ate and was fine. The bad news is that I have at this moment realized that the 10 pages of files that Disney sent me for counter service and snacks that I printed out and made into a BOOK, were OUTDATED!!!! There was nothing at Electric umbrella that was on the papers. They have since switched brands and items and basically, the 10 pages were of no use to me AT ALL. All I can think at this moment is....... "OMG, I've got 7 days of this". " I'm going to have a heart attack every time we go to eat and will be bald by the time we leave this place!!"

More on the food allergy situation later! Does it get better or more confusing??

what a nightmare! i'm really curious how this plays out because my best friend's little boy has severe peanut allergies. he's 3 now and i'm sure they will go back to WDW in the next few years. they went when he was like 9 months old but back then they didn't know about his allergies and of course he wasn't eating a whole lot of disney food anyway, mostly baby food and breast milk. anyway, can't wait to see if it gets better!

 

[punkin413]

We are strapping the kids in and realize there are 2 of us standing there and only one seat left. Ok, so the CM mis-counted for the line. Another CM came over to see why we weren't seated yet. They see what the problem is and since myself, DH and DS are the last 3 on the row they apologize and ask us if we would please wait for the next ride. We say "sure, no problem" and I start to unbuckle DS from the seat. That's when I hear the lady who was so sweet and nice to me in the line only 2 minutes ago say "WELL SHE SHOULD LEAVE BECAUSE THEY HAVE RIDDEN IT BEFORE!!!" Her husband tells her to quiet down and she say's "I DON'T CARE". I just look over my shoulder at her and smile as I walked away. She knew she made an idiot of herself. I didn't have to say a word. Besides, yes we've ridden the ride before and yes, we are WDW veterans. You know what that means?? That means that I KNOW that we are going to receive a little pixie dust for the mistake. And in true Disney style that's EXACTLY what happened. When it was our turn to ride, we got front row again (of course) and we were also given a fast pass voucher to any ride in the park that we wanted to use it on!! This means that we WOULD get to ride DS's favorite ride at Epcot......TEST TRACK before dinner! We were beginning to think that wasn't going to happen.

what the french, toast???? people never cease to amaze me.

Why we didn't take any pictures during this time is beyond me. I was so excited to see everyone again the thought didn't even cross my mind.

this happened to me the first time i met winkers! we were at casey's and randomly ran into each other. then after we talked and each went and ate with our families/friends, i went back out to where they were sitting and told her i had totally forgotten to get a picture and she said she had, too! i think it's just the excitement of seeing friends that makes us forget about getting that ever-important kodak moment!

 

[englishrose47]

Hey Blue Where are you????

 

[punkin413]

your gifts for everyone were PERFECT!!!! well done, and how thoughtful!

I am partial to my DH's steaks, though! What can I say... the man can GRILL!!

we have this problem, too! not that it's really a problem. but there have been very few places that we've found better steaks than ray can make himself. including le cellier. i'm not saying it was bad, but his are better. people think i'm crazy when i don't want to eat there but i'd rather try something i can't get at home!

 

[scottny]

caught up.

sounds like dinner was nice.

should have read the pre tr's to get the humor. still enjoying anyway.

 

[Trentmom]

Happy Birthday to your DS. Hope his party was fun. Did it have a theme?

Painting with a twist sounds like blast

 

[MyTalula]

Hey Blue!! Happy Birthday to your DS!!! Hope the party was wonderful!!


Also, I hope the painting party was as fun, nice and relaxing as it sounds!!

I posted my DS day today it was our first full day afterall.

 

[jordanyosh]

[Blueyed Girl]

The painting with a Twist sounds fun!!! Make sure we get lots of pix !!! Happy Birthday to DS and yes lots of pix there too !!!

It was SO MUCH FUN!!!! Thanks for the DS birthday wishes. Hoping to do an update tonight!

Don't you worry, Cherie! We know you have a life! The painting night sounds AWESOME! I wonder if they do any of that around Indy? Right up my alley!

Come back when you can.. we will be here!

Thanks Sooze!
You would LOVE the painting thing. I kept thinking of you doing the character drawing at DHS.

Amen bruthuh!



I can just imagine the look on the rude ladys face as you smile at her in the goofiest way with those teeth. She wouldn't be able to see the soarin' film. Just feel the movements. That's Justice...

That would have been CLASSIC!!!!

i'm just getting time to get caught up on my many TRs and pre-TRs and i started thinking to myself, "ya know, i haven't seen blue's TR on my subbed threads in awhile." well, duh!!!!! because you have a new thread!!!! off to play catch-up now.

Awww, well glad you found me!!!

I'm so excited for you by the way!!!

awesome!!!!!! congrats! that's so exciting! we really want to do this one day but i need to pay off some student loans and credit cards first.

I hear ya about pay offs. That's what we did. DH got a bonus check this year so we did that and bought some points too. Me likey bonus checks!!

what a nightmare! i'm really curious how this plays out because my best friend's little boy has severe peanut allergies. he's 3 now and i'm sure they will go back to WDW in the next few years. they went when he was like 9 months old but back then they didn't know about his allergies and of course he wasn't eating a whole lot of disney food anyway, mostly baby food and breast milk. anyway, can't wait to see if it gets better!

The whole food allergy thing had it's ups and downs the entire trip. There were many AWESOME moments and some just down right scary moments.

what the french, toast???? people never cease to amaze me.

this happened to me the first time i met winkers! we were at casey's and randomly ran into each other. then after we talked and each went and ate with our families/friends, i went back out to where they were sitting and told her i had totally forgotten to get a picture and she said she had, too! i think it's just the excitement of seeing friends that makes us forget about getting that ever-important kodak moment!

Ok, first off.....french toast?? I like it!! I'm taking that and using it!
You are right it's so excited to meet up with people you've been chatting with for a couple/few YEARS. The one thing you SWEAR you are going to do is take pictures and it ends up being the last thing on your mind.

Hey Blue Where are you????

I'm here now!

your gifts for everyone were PERFECT!!!! well done, and how thoughtful!

we have this problem, too! not that it's really a problem. but there have been very few places that we've found better steaks than ray can make himself. including le cellier. i'm not saying it was bad, but his are better. people think i'm crazy when i don't want to eat there but i'd rather try something i can't get at home!

I think I forgot to say that I gave everyone cute minnie or mickey ink pens too. Not just the silly gifts. I had fun shopping for the silly stuff, though.

OMGosh that is the same thing with us at Le Cellier. I'm sure it's good but it's just not as good as DH's steaks.

caught up.

sounds like dinner was nice.

should have read the pre tr's to get the humor. still enjoying anyway.

Glad you''re here!!!
Dinner was great!
Well, Jordan had a picture of a guy at WDW in a kilt and it was referenced several times in his PTR. Then Winkers was always having those MIL issues. And finally, Rosie was on the hunt for a Hot Italian guy which was all started by an Italian sandwich if you can believe that!!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Happy Birthday to your DS. Hope his party was fun. Did it have a theme?

Painting with a twist sounds like blast

He chose Hot Wheels as his theme this year. (as if he doesn't have enough of those! ) The party was great. A big group of kids showed up so he had a blast.

The painting class was GREAT!!!! Mine turned out "ok" but I had so much fun that I'm going to do it again soon.

Hey Blue!! Happy Birthday to your DS!!! Hope the party was wonderful!!


Also, I hope the painting party was as fun, nice and relaxing as it sounds!!

I posted my DS day today it was our first full day afterall.

Thanks for the DS b-day wishes!
The painting was fun!! I'm going to post a few pics soon.
I was able to make it over to your TR quickly the other day.

take your time.....I have a feeling I know why you're not around.

Thanks I'm sure your feeling is correct!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

So when I left off we were headed away from The Wave and over to Bay Lake Tower to check out Wendy & Dereks 2 bedroom villa!! For those who don't know, Wendy is Jordan's cousin and frequents his PTR's and TR's.....actually, they frequent WDW together often! We were fortunate enough to meet them along with Kim (Girl next door - one of Wendy's friends) on our trip in 2007. It was so good to get to see them again! Their kiddo's are SO CUTE and I just can't believe how much all of the kids have grown since 2007.

We walked across the new sky walk bridge thing to get from the main building to Bay Lake Tower. The walk is NICE although it was super windy and COLD that night. I took a few pictures but most are blurry. Sorry!!!

Movies by the pool...

Tried to snap a quick one as we were getting on the elevator. It's blurry..

So we bombard......err... I mean, we head up to their Villa to take a look around. It was SOOO nice!! You will have to see Jordan's TR for pictures of the room because I didn't take any. I do have our one picture taken with my mobile phone that I sent to Dawn (punkin) and she posted it on our PTR's. Here we are:

After our visit DH, DS and I said our fairwells and headed out to MK for a little while. As we walked in we caught what was left of Spectro....

We walked around a little and were able to catch a couple of rides before closing time.

After this we headed back to OKW and fell fast asleep!! After all....tomorrow is SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!!!!!!

It was so good to get to see them again! Their kiddo's are SO CUTE and I just can't believe how much all of the kids have grown since 2007.

How fun... seeing 'old friends'!!

Movies by the pool...

Was anyone watching?! I bet they had to be bundled up in blankets!!

After all....tomorrow is SUPERBOWL SUNDAY!!!!!!

Oh, no... Not sure if I'm ready to re-live this day....

 

[jordanyosh]

It looks like I'm leaning in and Winkers is leaning away from me.....

We definitely had a great time with you all that night......

 

[englishrose47]

Yes we did !!! Between the Wave and visiting Wendy it was an awesome night !!! Blue I love my pen !!! It is safely in my Disney stuff drawer !!!

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Hey Blue - Great way to finish day 1! Loved all the photos for BLT. That was awesome that you got to meet up with everyone for dinner and then check out BLT. I'm sure you guys crashed quickly. You had a long first day.

It looks like I'm leaning in and Winkers is leaning away from me.....

I don't know....to me it looks more like you're about to let one rip.

 

[joy13]

It looks like a really fun night! That pool looks really cool!
