SNARKY! I LOVE that word. Sometimes it's just so perfect. I have two things to point out. Norah is a beauty (not that you needed me, a perfect stranger to tell you, her Mama, that, but it's true). And secondly, I am truly impressed that you have 809 posts since July.

PLEASE keep writing...I'm down to two days!

I just found G-Max's TR and I love that you all found each other. I can't wait to read your side of the story! AND..your family is adorable (like yourself). I love your limey shoes and shirt.

I wish I had a trip to be excited for...so I will live vicariously through you all..

:0)

She punched a ba-zillion computer keys and looked up at me and said… looks like there’s a room being cleaned on the first floor of Building 14 (the one closest to the food court and bus stop- PRIME LOCATION) “/

Well, we had just checked out of room 1403 the day you checked in. . . .was it possibly our room we left waiting for you?? If so, I need to explain about that giant pee stain on the bed. . . . . . . .

Let me describe her very briefly, for the FULL effect. She had quite a few missing teeth and the one’s she did have in her head were decayed.

My husband would say she had in her summer teeth-Some er there, some er missin'

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Oh, UM. You had me at hello!
Alas, we did not meet. Me thinks there may be a Disneyland Mama imposter. I just got home from the swamp land and had to jump on the boards to see what you have posted thus far. It's delicious!!!
Sorry to hear about DD's travels. Thank God and the magic of cough syrup DS slept for the 1st 3 hours of our flight.
Can't wait to read more.... you've been home for how many days? And your TR is not completed? Let's get going lady!

 

[Glendamax]

What can I say? You ARE the woman! You get the room you wanted, AND you laid out that woman using the mean-smiling face!

Love your pictures so far! If I can EVER get mine uploaded, I hope to finish my report sometime soon!

By the way, will you accompany me the next time I have to check in somewhere?

 

[Cass]

I can't believe how bright and rested the kids look after a long night like you had, I'd be a zombie for sure.

 

[Glendamax]

Hi Cass!

 

[Cass]

Hi Glenda! hey, do you know why we are on page 29 - yet they just arrived?

 

[Glendamax]

Because crazy people like us keep pushing up the page numbers!!!

 

[__disneygirl]

Loving this report UtahMama!! What adorable children you have! One of my favorite parts of reading TR's is seeing that "WE'RE AT DISNEY!" smile in photos and there's definitely been a lot of those.

I think you handled that situation with the rude CM perfectly. And obviously you were right on target.

Can't wait for more!

 

[nicolemarie]

Girl, you are hilarious!!

This is a great trip report and I am looking forward to more!!

The "blow out" story was priceless. I remember those days well. And I don't miss them. No kids in diapers=good times.

Looking forward to your next installment!

“Apparently, another tourist has managed to tick you off or has treated you poorly… I, however, have done neither, so you need to treat people just a smidge better because you never know WHO you are speaking to”….

With your permission of course, I would like to borrow this statement (if needed) when I go in October.

She obviously didn't realize she was talking to DIS Royalty.

Sounds like you handled it well, and ended up with a good room. Can't wait to hear the rest!

 

[PrincessV]

UM, could you maybe teach a mini course in How to Get the Room You Want at Disney? You've got the knack! I've yet to get one simple thing I wanted. I'm so glad you mentioned the no elevators at POR thing, though; we're headed that way in Dec. and now that I know to be prepared to FIGHT for that first floor room!
More please?

 

[luvmyboys]

UM,

You are a force to be reckoned with!!!! We leave on Sat-- can I borrow your "mean-smiley" face just-in-case??? (look! I'm a poet!)

Your kids are adorable, & you are smokin' (not smokin' like bell-hop lady--the other kind!!!) in your lime crocs, with properly colored hair, & industrial-strength nails! Can't wait for more Utah-antics, and the inevitable run-ins with "interesting" folk....

And, WHAT THE HECK WAS YOUR PRESENT???

 

[samc]

Love the pics of POR........reminds me of our very first trip......hope you enjoyed staying there as much as we did!!

 

[jordansmomma]

And she said…(I wont exaggerate or embellish at all…) “WELL, I COULD TELL YA BUT I’D GET FIRED!!) Did she think she was funny? Quite possibly she wants to tell tourists to go to Heck!!! Let me describe her very briefly, for the FULL effect. She had quite a few missing teeth and the one’s she did have in her head were decayed. Her voice all flemmy like she smokes A-LOT and needs to cough (a-lot). Her hair was big and Miss Clairol brassy red, and did I mention, big. She’s seen better days.

Ok i think i met her sister in MK at a store on mainstreet. She was younger, had the same misisng and decayed teeth. She was quite the charmer that you had.

Sorry not quite sure how to quote.

 

[Ms. Heimlich]

Are you sure the lady who checked you in wasn't the same lady who shucked our oysters??

Subscribing!

Thanks for reading my TR --- Yours is cracking me up!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Time to hang out at the bus stop for Magic Kingdom. Not a long wait as anticipated from reading the DISboards. Time to call TwinkieMama and give her a little sumpin’, sumpin’ to write in my TR! Of course she was DYING that I hadn’t mentioned the gift she had sent to be received upon check in!. (I don’t receive that for another day and a half…she had paid extra for express delivery!) I purposely didn’t tell her about the rude BINGO lady who was at Bell Services…Just in case she couldn’t keep it in the vault!

First of all I am offended that you would doubt my Vaultkeeping abilities... do I need to list all the stuff that is currently in the Vault?????? (Any stalkers out there can write to Utah care of Lucy Ricardo, 101 Desilu Rd, SLC, Utah)

Secondly, Don't I look cute? That is me on the phone with DISprincess UtahMama! I love Norah attempting to crawl into the bottom of the stroller!

Meanwhile back at the ranch: I was shocked to be hearing from Utah so soon cause it was her first day at Disney and all. So I assumed she called to thank me for the little giftie.. Which had been sent days ago cause I wanted her to have in upon arriving. In fact by this time POR front desk is on my speed dial and I am personaly known to all the shifts of check in girls and the mysterious person who runs the Package Room which is only open 9-4 Eastern time FYI. Which of course she had not recieved. We had a nice chat that I already posted about.... but the back story on the gift is that Lucy sent me a HUGE box that my I recieved upon check in (which was completely delightful and everyone was nice to me and I had no need for mean smilie eyes) that she had labeled every side with HUGE labels arranged in kind of a scrapbooky way (that is neat and creative) complete with Walt Disney fonts and lime green paper. My gift to her was in no way even close to the same level both in the packaging and the contents. Her gift to me was a huge basket of goodies. Did I mention that the basket was HUGE and lime green and covered with sparklies and ribbons and LIME GREEN feathers????????? And I carried it home though the Orlando airport but the HUGE LIME GREEN SPARKLY FUR ENCRUSTED BASKET is not what got me into trouble with security. No siree. For more on that story you will have to read MY trip report. Which is not written yet.

All this to say: My package was missing. I didn't want Utah to feel slighted after she had sent such a loverly gift for me. And I was afraid that some other Ricky and Lucy Ricardo were enjoying my little present. Or that the real Lucy wouldn't get it till the end of the trip. Which would not be good.
