On a horse with no name!

bumping...your TR was dangerously low on the Trippie list.

Yes...lets play the mullet game. Photos for proof. Trying to non-chalantly take a photo of a mullet in it's natural habitat is none too easy.Actual sitings are getting rarer and rarer...but HOT DANG, get the camera (or cell phone camera).

I plan on taking lots of pictures this trip. So if I'm describing a Pissy CM, I will take their picture to show who I'm talking about! How's THAT for bad customer service, buster!(Say "Cheese"! Click!) I do believe they'll shape up after they see me jotting down pertinent info in my TR notebook! "What??? I am a DISney Vacation Trip Reporter...just go about your business as usual..." (OMGosh, I think I'm on to something!)

S'latey???Where are you? I have official DIS beeswax to discuss with you...
It's about the you know what.

Oh U Mama, thank you for saving me! We took a 3-hour trip tp Charlotte to see the Panthers game. I'll have my next installment up tomorrow.

Official DIS beeswax? Hmm, sounds juicy!

3 hour each way plus a 3.5 hour stadium seating exercise while holding your nose to prevent short stains.


DON'T PANIC

Felony was at first. Then she saw the first TD and I had to hold her shirt to prevent a Felony avalanche.

sounds very mysterious- beware fellow UtahMama and SoRUL82? fans.... these ladies are up to something.....

I left off with the Loud Family plopped down in the middle of the road…experiencing even more magic. Earlier in the day, I had noticed a wire connecting the castle to some unknown source. I thought to myself, how tacky? Could Disney not come up with a better way to run electricity into the castle? I don’t see any other wires around this place. Ok, eye rollers, you can stop now! Remember, I had three weeks to cram for this test, and anything in my tertiary memory had long been erased!! It’s a good thing that I keep so many of my thoughts to myself or else there would be a “Funniest things said by Loud Mama at Disney” thread on this board! Anyhow, while waiting for the parade, I heard some ladies talking about Tinkerbelle signing a release to not hold Disney responsible if she falls off the wire. OH, NOW I GET IT! That wire isn’t so tacky after all! But, now how can I enjoy it? I’m gonna be worried about Tinkerbelle falling off the wire. What if she lands in the water and she doesn’t glow anymore? I decided to keep this info to myself for two reasons: 1. just in case those ladies were lying and that really was a tacky wire. and 2. So I could enjoy the hoots and hollers that would come from my Loud Family. Well, the Loud Family didn’t jump to their feet and start squawking around like chickens with their heads cut off, but their little faces were certainly filled with glee! Yup, the Loud Family was certainly gellin’ and again, my eyes were wellin’. After we gather ourselves and belonging, we begin that long journey to the AAA parking lot. However, I am determined to hang on to the magic as long as possible, so we hit a few shops to get the kidlets a treat, and I do some shopping for Peter Cottontail. After $30 later, I emerge from the Calorie Shop, and we continue our journey. I’m still trying to hang on to the magic as long as possible, so I try to get the Loudies to sit and take it their last glimpse of the castle. P9 had agreed to return, but who knows how long it will take this time? My troops were too tired, and they just wanted to go. So, you can only imagine what happens next, or can you?...........

sorul82? and UtahMama, don't cha threaten me. Not only will I talk to you in line, or elsewhere, but I will take your name, address and birthdate and probably send you a card for a decade or more. Is just the way I am. I collect people instead of pins. They are far more interesting.

I can take pics of Mullets any old time I want as my dear son is still stuck in the 70's. I are so very proud but the boy is employed and has never been in jail so it is a small price to pay I guess.

I just love the level of writing that TR's have been taking lately. I can better judge things as to whether I would like them or not if I know the character of the TR writer. There are an awful lot of great characters around here right now and they are always 'ON".

[UtahMama]

I'm dying to know what your last post was titled previous to the "Cindy needs a good electrician".... Hmmm?

 

[mikayla73]

This is an awsome TR! I am a newbie and haven't had a chance to make my way around all of the forums ... I recently found the food porn thread (that should be illegal!! ) and now the TR thread. There is just so much great info, and way to little time to read it all! I get caught up on threads that I have already found, then head out to explore! So each time it takes me longer to "get caught up". Hmmm maybe we need a UG for the DIS ...

 

[sorul82?]

Princess Libby: Yes it was very funny indeed! It's a good thing I can laugh at myself!

Slightly Goofy: You crack me up! What character am I? I think I would be the adopted child of life partners Grumpy and Dopey.

U Mama: It wasn't anything exciting. I think I said electrical engineer, which wasn't appropriate as they don't do any cabling jobs.

Mikayla73: Welcome to the big show!

 

[sorul82?]

You thought we were heading for our car, right? Well, we are working our way towards the minivan, but we find a few more cheap and/or free things to do at Disney. I hopelessly fixed my eyes on the hoards of people headed towards the monorail and ferry launch. We chose the ferry, and tried to squeeze the five of us in 2 linear feet of seat space while I half knowingly glare at the man next to us whose child is stretched out asleep on the next bench. If I had known this was a DIS taboo, I would have sent that man an optical death ray. In the meantime, I was enjoying some more people watching. I found myself rather intrigued by a popular teenage girl who was basking in the glory of having all eyes on her. I also had noticed that just above her head was a huge, beautiful, freshly spun spider web, with an enormous spider in the middle. Now, ordinarily, spiders are NOT on my top ten list of pleasures, but at this particular moment, it ranked a “2”, “1” was getting ready to happen. I’m sitting here watching Miss center of the universe, and I managed to make eye contact with the slightly-over-weight-I-hate-her-why-are-all-of-the-guys-drooling-over-her girl. I pointed to the spider just inches above and we made that official “ooh this is gonna be good” nod. Miss in the shadows points out the spider to Miss Center, and the impending squeal was nothing shy of ungraceful and Miss Center was toppled from her throne. Now all of the attention was on Miss Shadow as she and the boys scoped out all of the other cool freshly spun spider webs while Miss Center was left to hyperventilate on her own. I got the unofficial thank you smile from Miss Shadow. My work here is done.

Now do we go to the van? Uh, no

 

[UtahMama]

Oh
Great
Googily
Moogily!!!

SPIDER!!!!!!!!!!


I would have DIED!!! Ooooo, I'd have loved to be you at that precious moment in time!!!!

 

[chucklhd]

I love when the chubby girl wins the guy.....victory for all CGOA...Chubby Girls of America. I think I was a founding member at one time of that club.

Ladies--Keep the trippy coming. We made it as far as Brunswick, Georgia from Connecticut today....only 4ish hours to go tomorrow and we will be at Disney. Let the games begin. I know it is cliche but, I'm too excited to sleep!!! That kid was me every summer of my childhood. We were that family that drove to Disney caravan style with aunts and uncles driving while the cousins were all hopping from "way back" to "way back" in our unairconditioned chevy station wagons. Reading all of the Pedro signs thinking they were going to change every year, but secretly happy that Pedro's weather report still reads "chilly today, hot tamale!"

 

[sorul82?]

We exit the ferry; I’m proud for doing my good deed for the year, and now the cattle herd is heading to the tram. Do we follow? Me, follow the crowd? I’m too deviant for such behavior!! Nope, I find yet another way to hang on to the magic. The kidlets had yet to ride up front of the monorail because there was just no wasting valuable time waiting for the front. But, on this night, the emptiness of the Epcot waiting area was too eerie and too irresistible! A poor unfortunate CM with a freshly reloaded lanyard happed upon our path. He was quickly surrounded by the Loud Family. We tricked him with a question about taking the monorail to Epcot, and while he was under our spell, we made a few pin trades. DS9 was able to complete one of his collections, and then we head to the waiting area. Felony shrieked with delight as the Pink monorail pulls into the station. It is one of her bestest rides. Disney is strict on the four person max in the front rule, so I send the four kids to ride alone. Plus I wanted some quiet reflection time, and maybe sneak a sweet snack. My quiet time lasted until the CR stop when a nice mom and two kids joined me. I didn’t mind the interruption as I was able to get some valuable info about Chef Mickey’s. Valuable in that it was very good and a must do. So, our plan was to switch parental units at Epcot, but there was another family waiting, so my loud family joined me in the “quiet” car to tell me all about their exciting adventure into unknown parts of the world. It doesn’t take much to re-energize the Loud Family. We exit the monorail and skip over to the tram line to inquire about a stop for the Dopey lot. Why did we not know about this sooner? We sat at the very back, and my children were the official, “all clear, driver” announcers. This was just fuel for DS9’s obsession with announcing equipment. When DS9 was about 3, I made my first and last solo trip to the grocery store with these three. I’m busy trying to keep Felony and Mr. Clean in the buggy when I hear a muffled, “attention, attention…..attention customers.” All of the cahiers look around, confused…..I am turning red, because I recognize this little voice. I turn around and find DS at the next register with the mic pulled down to his mouth. DS9 also makes headsets out of grass when he gets bored at football practice….then he starts calling out carpool numbers. So, why do I tell all of this? Because the past 5 months has been filled with him standing on the back of a tram calling out parking lot names, and telling magic kingdom guests to gather their belongings and have a magical day! After a tour around the entire parking lot, we end up at Dopey, take our children by the hand so they don’t become Disney property and have to work at IASM until they are big enough to stand on the back of a tram, and head for the minivan. Yes, this time tomorrow, the Loud Family would be sleeping in their own beds……or would they?

 

[TwinkieMama]

Ah Grasshopper, you have learned much about the art of trip report cliffhangers.

Chucklhd- yeah for the way back! yeah for Pedro! That South of the Border sign is my favorite too.



What will the pin trading, lanyard wearing, CM stalking loud family do next?????

 

[UtahMama]

"Attention K-Mart Shoppers! If you look up and look around you'll notice the blue light's flashing over in Sporting Goods today...and for the next 15 minutes you'll save up to 70% on all of our clearance priced fishing equipment" (dont ask how I know this by heart...)

I am flash-forewarding 20 years at the career choices your DS can have with his talent. "LETS GET RRRREADY TO RRUM-BLE!!!" or "SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!" "Would you like fries with that?" hahahahahaha...HA!

Someone please explain Pedro. South of what boarder? Cant a sistah have a clue? I get stuck on Napoleon Dynomite when I see that, And I'm pretty sure your not talking the Idaho/Utah boarder.

 

[sorul82?]

UMama,

I pm'd you with the link to pedroland.com. OMG! They have a honeymoon suite!

 

[sorul82?]

Oh, and Deep Space 9's career choice du jour is to be a geneticist. I think he is more suited for mechanical engineering, but he has a few years to decide! He is currently working on an automatic clothes folding machine because he is tired of folding laundry. His cardboard mock up is rather inpressive!

 

[UtahMama]

I theenk I like Hees accent amigos!

That link is way too funny! Have you stayed there? In the honeymoon sweeet?

It's my kinda place, for sure!

I remember taking a day trip there when my brother turned 16, I was 4. Why did he get a 1966 Mustang and a trip to SOB for his birthday? All I got for my 16th b-day was an '85 Mustang. Life is so unfair!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Jip! 1985 was not a good Mustang year (the year I graduated!) BUT 1967 certainly was! All I got for my 16th birthday was a rock (Charlie Brown Halloween)
