Dis members sometimes have reasons why they don't post or finish their Trip Reports. Maybe her computer is down, maybe she just doesn't want to make any new post . We all know it is heart-breaking when members do not come back and finish, but we have to accept it.

The best way to get ahold of the Dis member is by Private Message or Email. Before anyone gets upset with me, I am known to bump up a report that was started and ask them if they are going to continue. Most PM me and tell if they didn't receive responses, and they just rather not continue. Others loose the excitement of their WDW vacation and don't frequent the DIS boards as much and never finish their TR's.

So I truly enjoy responding to all reports, so I feel it is fair to respond to this one too. We all hope to see her continue, but it is her choice if she wants to just let it go.

Count me done the first 106 pages. It took a couple of weeks at a few pages a time..which is in short supply these days! Well done, Utah Mama. Your work is truly riveting! Now....I'm off to find the disappearing peeps!

 

[UtahMama]

Yup, I've been drunk on Egg Nog!

Pictures are uploaded!

Word Document started!

Creativity STUCK on pause.

Making me crazy!

So, dont expect much....

I've neglected this and I'm really sorry .

My focus has been dieting like crazy (WISH thread makes it easy peasy!)

And Christmas. Nevermind Christmas! Oi Vay!

It's coming! So thank you guys for being so wonderful to me! I am so blessed to have you! Go bug DISUNC! PM him like crazy! He's like 2 weeks behind me! (You're Welcome DU!)

When last we chatted, I was raising my pinkie and gracefully wearing a rhinestone tiara with some fabulous DIS boards friends

at the Grand Tea at the Grand Floridian. The Grand Floridian is a short trip by resort monorail back to the Magic Kingdom. Jordan chose to go back to the resort. Probably to complain to his girlfriend via cellphone about goodness knows what. and he wanted to do some laundry and hang out. I lost half my pack mule team! DANG!

We had a mission. An intergalactic interactive mission to defeat the evil Emperor Zurg. We were fore-informed from the DISboards of the valuable targets (some would call these the "cheats"...those folks would be the Star Cadets or Space Scout Losers! ) It was ME against DH and Riley (DS6) and Dallen (DS8).

Yada Yada Yada...

Here's the Social Status Guide for CIVILIANS:

And nary a one of us scored less than utter perfection. ((huffing on knuckles and rubbing them on heart)) But I'm not one to BRAG...

After I achieved High Goddess staus on Buzz LightYear Space Ranger Spin, Miss Norah (dd2) and her swelled-headed tiara-wearin' mama went on to ride the Captain Jack Sparrow ( my freebie) ride without the men folk.

It worries me she isn't the least bit a-scared of that ride. Arrrr!

But before we rode Jack, we were disracted by the Aloha Isle Shack full of Dole Whippage! But there seems to be a choice to be made....anybody who's anybody knows you gotta get a Dole Whip or you'll be thrown out of the DISboards for all time and eternity. I had only heard the term Dole Whip NOT Dole Whip Float! Eeeek! The Dole whip float wastes the bottom several inches of your cup with pineapple juice...space best occupied by the actual whip, if you ask ME. Let me try to describe the heaven in a cup that is the Dole Whip. It's not exactly ice cream-ish, nor is it like a "Slurpee", but the consistency is like a combination of the two. The taste is a sweet/tart marriage of pinapple with a whisper of vanilla. Pineapple kissed with vanilla. Ying and Yang...sweet yet tangy (like me! ) Norah and I shared what will always be known as the single best use of a snack credit EVER! It was a party in our mouths!

After POC, which was exactly the same as the last time we rode....we headed for the Haunted Mansion, again. Norah is not afeared of this ride either. YIKES! Not the stretching room (which I know the entire narative by heart..."Is this room actually stretching?? Or is it your imagination??"...SCREAM!!!!) After we rode, I called DH probably screwing up his score...they were still Buzzing (that ride is very addictive, isn't it?) so we rode the Haunted Mansion AGAIN! It broke down again in the attic scene, creepy dee! I KNOW it doesn't really break down, that they are loading on a handicapped guest...but it's better to think you are stuck in the attic with the beating heart chick for-ever!

At the end of the ride, we all re-grouped and positioned our tired carcasses near Pecos Bills for "Spectro Magic, the NON-Rain Version" which is considerably better than "Spectro Magic, the Torrential Downpour Version" of the night before. We bought the CD of the parades and fireworks shows (highly recommend!) and recorded the parade to enjoy and we have many, many times since we've been home. But no matter how many times I see those bobble-headed spectors, I STILL am weirded-out by them.

((Shiver!))

Look Away! If you make eye-contact with them, they suck out your soul!!!!!
Go to your happy place!!!! Cinderella's your happy place???

I love all that is Spectro Magic! I swear Ursula the Sea Witch waved right at ME! I Love her and her heaving bosoms! I love every single quote she says in the movie! She is such a great role model, dontcha think?

After Spectro, naturally is Wishes. When the child sings, "Starlight, star bright,first star I see tonight..." I CRY! Dang! I hate being sappy! Like I said before, you KNOW your inner child makes a wish! We're all just a bunch of experienced kids in older bodies wishing upon a star, wishing for more Disney magic for years and years to come! Or wishing the magic will never end. That "might" have been MY wish that night, I cant tell you.

Next time, Cliff Clayburn mans the mic on the longest bus ride to the Animal Kingdom ever. Will Riley finally ride Expedition Everest? PLUS Tiggers and bats, canibal turkey eatin' birds, "Iko, Iko, Inay", gross gamey mystery meat at Concourse Steakhouse and the Impetigo infested paint brush saga!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Yay, UMA, you DID it!!!! Now you can

I never knew about the loading at the HM ,wow, learned something new.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Great episode, Uma (except for that one pic - you know which one I mean)!

I am NOT a Spectro fan.

Loved your Dole whip description. I'll be sure to have one in 16 days!!!!!!!!

 

[NAB]

Oh you know your creepy dee things.

My DD does not like Ursla, won't even go see Little Mermaid at MGM because of her.

I have get to have a Dole Whip but I will remember not to get the float. It is a snack credit too?

Great pictures too. I'm glad you are not a bragger.....

UM - Great to have you back. That fast pass to thin must be working cause we are seeing less and less of you.

BTW, I am taking up a collection to buy DISUNC a new PC for Christmas. Do you want to contribute? His PC went caput. At least that is what he is telling us.

I got the Float in Oct. (gasp- the shame of it), but I love pineapple juice, and I saw the picture of it on Glendamax's TR, and I had to try one. It was wonderful. I'll just have to go back again to try the true Dole Whip. It gives me an excuse to go back, doesn't it?

We watched Spectro from Pecos Bill's too. Great viewing spot.

Great to see you again.

 

[jeriber]

Yay UM-so nice to read a new installment!
