our secret green club? Part 3

[Eeyore's Tiara]

I want to say thank you to all those that welcomed us to the board. I haven't been able to get on here any earlier today because we are running around like crazy trying to get everything together for our trip.
I still have one princess costume that needs finishing and we still need more LGMHPC's before we go.
I even have my Grumpy husband starting to get in on the heist. That was a surprise....

We will be there Sept. 6-12th so we can't wait. I have three little girls that are beyond excited. The two oldest, 11 and 9, have been before, but this will be the first time for the youngest who is 3. They did Disneyland Paris last year, but it's not near as wonderful as Disney World. It was more like our Six flags here. Met alot of nice people there though.

We are all starting to get excited and we're so glad we found ya'll.
Thank you for all the wonderful information.

Which Princesses are your princesses dressing as?

 

[Donald - my hero]

Wow, it's col enough for you to keep the door open? here it's still hot and we have everything closed up and airconditioners running.

Well since the house is sitting at 28 of my degrees 82 0f yours) and humidity is still 30 (86) the house feels like a sauna. It is raining though so the bit of wind makes it FEEL cooler.

OK this is post 500!!! So I'm going to PM DISUNC to get the handshake, (Can you believe LizzY knows it and won't share it with me?) Then I'm going to bed. It's almost time to get up! Night everyone!

 

[Eeyore's Tiara]

Which Princesses are your princesses dressing as?

My oldest is Snow White.
My middle child is Belle, (but really wants to be Ariel but I couldn't see trying to run around in a fish tail....and she LOOKS more like Belle.)
My youngest is Cinderella, right down to her gloves and tiara.

I on the other hand am going as Frumpy, the wife of my DH Grumpy. No costumes needed.....

Paris was wonderful. We stayed out by Disneyland and rode the subway into town to do all the sites. With kids, it was great. We ate at DTD in Disneyland nearly everyday. Kept the kids happy.

did I hear there is a tivo less person out there?? don't we have agencys out there for just these kinds of travesties!! (and for really bad spellers?) How is everyone tonite!!

My name is Michele and I have been living without TIVO. Is there a 10 step group I can join?

 

[hockeymomoftwo]

Thank you, thank you! I can use all the help I can get!! Hey, I had to google "heely" when I was reading a different thread (And my son even wants some - he didnt know what they were called either!! )

I was reading on that thread and got quite disgusted. My son has healys and loves them although they aren't as big here as they were 2 years ago but I did think about letting him wear them at wdw. But now I have pictures in mind of people with canes and emv plowing him. He has never bumped into another person and is very careful when he wears them but man that thread was getting vicious.

 

[hockeymomoftwo]

How are you holding up HMO2? have you had a chance to catch up on your sleep and work yet? You must be draggin'. Hope Cody's doing well.

Did ya start makin a list of what your bringing to Disney yet... You know, are you super organized like CYN or will you be like me and think about throuwin some stuff in a duffel the night before you go?

I am starting to fill in all my details in my passporter. I had lost the sheet which had all my adr's on it so I spent several hours last night confirming everything. It was a good thing I did too because apparently one of my ADR's got cancelled for mama melrose fantasmic dinner show. I was able to get it back through dining recovery. Apparently there is another michele mcateer going at this same exact time and my ressie got cancelled. Boy I was kind of po'd and I kept telling them that it wasn't me that cxld it as it was cxld while cody was in the hospital. Had better things to do than call wdw at that time.

No packing started yet. Making lists though. I am very tired. He went to hockey tonight for an hour. He skated hard but not quite his usual intensity but he was pretty tired tonight at bedtime.

 

[hockeymomoftwo]

I think I have some bad news.

Our kitten was not in the yard tonight when I got home. He has been doing so well in the yard that I have been leaving him out in the daytime and the dog in our outer yard to keep the kitten in where he belongs and that has been working great. However I found some fur in the outer yard tonight when I went out looking for him with the flashlight. Not sure if our big bad thunder storm scared him out and the dog got him or what happened. Morning time I have to get up first cause if the boys find the kitten it will be bad bad bad.

Well I am finally getting some rest....I am at work!!!!

I will read & try to catch up with everyone later. But for now I will give you the Highlights!

The GOOD!

Allegiant Airlines..Direct flight from Allentown to Sanford Airport....79.00 Arrived 1/2 hour early...and was ONLY 15 minutes late coming back! WONDERFUL Airline...I hope they stay around

The weather was great!!!! Hot... BUT NOT unbearable like last year!

The Redux POC Very cool! Nothing noticeable missing from the original...all the new added features are good!

Got my request @ POP 1st floor poolside! 50's section (I just requested any section)...right next to the Lady Icon! EZZZZZZZZZ access to pool, parking & POP cafe!

The new Character Connection at Epcot!!!!! Wow! Great setup! for the BIGGGGGG Named Characters!

Walked right on EE ...singles line. very good ride. (just did it once...seems to be down alot) (see The Bad below)

FINALLY after 31 years I made it to Tom Sawyers Island!!!!!!!!!!! What I saw I liked.

Sad to say...but saw The Country Bear Jamboree for the first time also!!!!

Rode EVERY ride & saw everyshow we wanted to (except The lion king at Ak)

Rode in the front of the monorail for the zillionth time...BUT First time @ Night leaving the park @ 12:30 am! WAY COOL! Didnt have to squish in with the 'regular sweaty folk in the back'.

Got FREE Cotton candy one night at MK....the end of the night they give it out for free! James my nephew was estatic!

MK now has the one finger scan ticket putter in thingy....and it WORKS!!!! No looooooong lines getting into that park!

Did the BIG Epcot 3- MS, S, & TT many many many many times.

Did the 'Behind the Seeds Tour' Lotsa fun! and for 18.50 for both me & james with the AAA diamond discount! However since James would not shutup for two minutes the 40 minute tour went to 1 hour & 5 minutes!

Saw the Crash stunt show @ MGM for first time...missed that last year!

Missed all but one of my ADR's....HOWEVER had NO problem at all getting into any resteraunt at the last minute.....including Alfredos for Dinner on Sunday night @ 6:00. (with just 2 it does make it more easy)

This was a good for me...bad for James....after the 20 zillionth time riding TOT...we got stuck on it...at the bottom...in the DARk...Poor James LOST IT!...and I mean LOST HIS MIND!!!!!! Completely freaked out...trying to get out of the seat belt...screaming & shouting uncontrollable . Me the BIG help couldnt help it but I was laughing at his reaction! Very weird twilight Zone moment. We were in the front seats...and some lady in the back (remember it was pitch black dark) yelled..."Will someone smack that kid"...he really was upsetting everyone else. Did I mention he was uncontrollable!.....Anyhow after we got off...i was telling him what happened. He was now Hysterical laughing ....Until He realized I was talking about him (he like blackout or something???) As soon as he realized it was HIM who was Hysterical...he didnt think it was very funny! I still did...and he rode it 2 more times that night with no problems.

For the first time I sat UP front in The Hall of Presidents!!!! Come ON...some of the Presidents are REAL!!!!!!!!!! Unbelivable Wonderful!

The BAD!

How do they keep "Sounds Dangerous with Drew Carey" open ......It is such a lame show & sooooo filthy DISCUSTING in that theatre!
That whole little section of MGM is just such wasted real estate....the TV theatre next door to SD has been closed for eons...and nutin there.
And they are closing WWTBAM???????? Why that is one of the most popular attractions.....they always turn people away! Lots of MGM needs some serious updating! I miss the Golden Girls house!

AK!!!!

Rode EE when we first got there on singles line....got a fast pass..waited 4 hours to get to the fastpass time.....the FP line was a 1 HOUR WAIT. The standby line was a 3 hour wait....ALL IN THE BRUTAL HOT SUN...and the ride wasnt even working...Only NO CM"S were to be found ANYWHERE near the vicinity!

I was never crazy about AK...but there is NO magic going on there. EMH had ONLY DINOSAUR & the ride in the (what I call) the Carney section running (can't remember the name)..and about 9:00 they made a announcement over the loudspeakers that ITTBAB is NOW opened! Only NO CM's were too be found anywhere...Nor could I get get any info from one when I did find one (cowering in a corner somewhere...REALLY)....spent 3 hours walking around....asking other people whats going on...and other people asking me whatsgoing on! REALLY REALLY BAD...and very Un-Disney!!!!! Then to top it off the park closed at 10:00...at 9:50 we saw both Mickey & Minny talking pics & autographs(at the beginning of the africa section(i get lost in that park all the time). James was rather excited...cause you NEVER see these 2 together. James was the next one up & there was ONE kid behind us...THATS ALL...No one else around...and the CM cut us off....No More pics with M&M!!! There was ONLY 2 KIDS THERE and 10 minutes left to park closing. Me and the other kids mother couldnt believe how flippen rude he was! I asked the CM "are you kidding?"...he said "DO I LOOK LIKE IM KIDDING" realllll nasty!
What should I do belt the CM in front of James & M&M???

First Time ever I went to the Guest Relations...and I was very nice, but complained to the CM there.....She told me to wait right there...walked out...came back like 3 minutes later(felt like a hour)...and Shrugged her shoulders and said "sorry, Nothing I can do!" ..Not even a "Sorry"!!!!!

I couldn't believe these people. I PROMISE to write a letter very soon. Never seen such a mismanaged fiasco in my life. I vow NEVER TO GO TO AK AGAIN! It was THAT BAD! Heck! Chuckie Cheese is run better than that place.

The British Invasion only plays on Mondays now in the UK Pavillion at Epcot. That is one of James favorites!

Got the last boat to Tom Sawyers Island...what they dont tell you is .....once you take the last boat...you only have 5 minutes and they make you leave!

Almost kicked the bucket at Typhoon lagoon!!!!!! WOW THOSE WAVES ARE HUGE! KNOCKED ME DOWN AND I SWALLOWED A BIT TOO MUCH WATER!!!!
TL is for the YOUNG (physically) not the Young at Heart!!!!!

They no longer give out "Monorail Driver Licences" when you ride the front of the monorail!

Couldn't get anywhere near Turtle talk with Crush.....one day had a 3 hour wait!!!! (we did get in last year before the "word" got out...james got to talk to Crush)

Tooooooooo many CM's who cant speak a word of understandable English!!!!
Found myself saying "excuse me" way too many times. However I do have a very funny story about Inspector Clew-sows(phonetic spelling) working at MS...and giving all the wrong information out! (full story in reserve for a trip report) But he was telling everyone the wrong lines to get on....once inside all the orange people realised thay were on the green line...and vise versa...so EVERYONE was climbing over the barriers getting on the correct lines. Very funny incident.

I did notice that WDW is starting to seriously lie about the posted wait times................After 8 days in the parks....whatever the posted 'wait time" is...DOUBLE it!!!!!


Thats it for now!

I hope everyone is fine!

 

[DISUNC]

My name is Michele and I have been living without TIVO. Is there a 10 step group I can join?

tsk tsk tsk!

Had the very first Tivo model to come out! Still use it. Have the one that copies the shows to DVD now too. Can't LIVE without mine!

DL Paris oooh lala! What do they call french fries there?

 

[DISUNC]

Morning here i am! Been reading this board for close to an hour. Geeze if you miss a day it take forever to catch up.

im trying to catch up on 12days! imposibattle!
WDW wedding! Are you ain the wedding party? How does your sister feel about Lime Green gowns?????

 

[Eeyore's Tiara]

DL Paris oooh lala! What do they call french fries there?

Pomme frites! And don't forget it! I made the mistake of calling them French Fries in Belgium and the little man behind the counter almost came unglued.

I think it has something to do with french fries actually starting in Belgium.... or some strange battle over where they were from.

I stopped calling them french fries after that. And my DH pointed out that if we were in France maybe they should just be called fries......

You're scaring me... I had a couple of small things happen last time I was there, but for the most part the Disney magic was happening. I had a hard time getting around AK and was hoping I would have a better time this time. HMMMMM......

Yes.....I guess there are enough kids not beign careful and combined with that heat REALLY getting to people. I've mostly seem kids just sliding around - not really "skating"....oh well...

Hope Codys doing much much better!

 

[Va-bear]

BOO!!!!

Thank you = I needed that this morning!!!!! Here's your offical welcome back:

WELCOME BACK!!!! WE MISSED YOU!!!!!!
