Hello friends/readers/barnacles!
You - boring ?? Never. Please share your hopping stories with us!!
TigerKat: Ok, I promise to take you resort hopping, since you never find my company boring. I’d like to think I’m interesting. Sometimes when I do weird thing like iron clothes on myself, or clean the kitchen floor by skating over the dirty spots with a Scotch-Brite pad under one foot and a damp paper towel under the other, I say to Lowell, “Gee, aren’t you glad you didn’t marry some dull, normal woman?”
Oh please more soon! Patience has never been my strong point!!! I wish your trip would have been longer because it'll be awful when this all ends!!!
Liz. You’re so nice! I forgot to tell you, I did read part of your trip report a while back. The fact that you stayed at Fort Wilderness was somewhat unusual in a trip report, and that attracted me. You and your family look like a lot of fun. And don’t worry about my report ending. Yes, it will have to end eventually, but the Time Dilation Effect is a marvelous thing. If I set it on “slooooowwww” I may still be writing this four day report in May. By then the episodes will be so slow and detailed, however, that one entire installment may consist of me answering a knock at the door.
Kay, I think this episode had me laughing aloud more than any of the others. Very funny! These episodes just keep getting better and better. I can't wait for the next one, but it's always a bittersweet anticipation because I know that each new episode takes us one step closer to the inevitable end of the report.
iluvsushi: Thanks so much. I thought this was one of the funnier segments, too, but it’s good to hear that other people think so, too. Maybe the funniest thing is, if you really think about it, nothing much happened. No one made a public spectacle of us, and we didn’t have to do anything weird. The funny parts were mostly what went through my head. Maybe that means my head is a pretty weird and funny place. As for my report finally ending, see my comment above to Liz. I hope you will still be around for the “I answer a knock at the door episode.”
OK (Oh KAY!) I got my Sarsaparilla but they spelled it wrong:d-i-e-t-p-e-p-s-i???? 2 out of 3 times to WCC, I have been the singled out spectacle. I dont know if I should brag about that! I actually had to ride the stick pony around and LOUDLY sing Happy Birthday to myself. Good times. I think that was your best chapter yet! I love that you say a blessing before you eat at a restaraunt! That is one meal that Shirley needed to be blessed! Is Lowell's father LDS? (a mormon) THAT blessing sounded just like our prayers...the more hungry we are the more long-winded and Old Testiment-ish.....Oy! I will use the term "snobbish high brow" daily. Thanks for the laughs!!!!
UtahMama: I remember reading your WCC episode and how you got to be the “life of the party.” It was a funny read. I felt sort of sorry for you. Actually, I was too busy laughing to feel very sorry for you! And no, Lowell’s father is not a Mormon, but he is a minister, so that somewhat explains his formal, rambling prayers. It’s good to hear that this was one of your favorite episodes. I value your opinion as a fellow funny trip report writer.

“Lowell, honey, darling, feel free to have some of my pork chops. I’ve hardly shared any of my meal with you.”
I Love it!!!! I can see the evil genius wheel turning in your head.
Princess Tinkerbell: Yes, and the evil genius wheel that turns in my head is powered by several very active hamsters. They run most of the day!
Oh my, I'm only on page 11! I don't consider myself a lurker. Just wanted to read it all before I passed on my compliments. I can't even pass over everyone's replies or your replies to their replies because those are so humorous also. You are a treat...now help me explain that to my hungry kids and my DH who needs some clean clothes! You are a blessing to my day!
Suzflee: Oh boy! Another new reader. Some Disney people collect pins. I collect readers. I love when new people stop in and say hello. It really makes my day. I hope you’ll take a break, though, to feed your kids and throw some clothes in the washer. I sure wouldn’t want to be responsible for child abuse. Or a dysfunctional marriage. I promise my report will still be here waiting for you when you get back.
Fantastic trip report!, I've read the lot tonight instead of doing the ironing
, Can't wait for our next trip & eating at the WCC just hope my eldest DD doesn't ask for ketchup
, but I'm pretty sure she will
CHEK: Hey! Another new reader! And you have multiplied my International Readership, too! Sorry about your ironing. Well, maybe a little. Never do today what can be put off until tomorrow. Isn’t that how the saying goes? Have fun if you go to WCC. The whole ketchup gag is fairly low key and funny. It’s not like having to stand up and sing “I’m a Little Tea Pot,” or ride around on a stick pony singing Happy Birthday to yourself, like poor UtahMama. (hehehe).
Easily the most entertaining dining review I've ever read. I, too, love that you give thanks before meals, whether in public or private. That's something I used to do faithfully and have regretfully fallen out of the practice. I'm going to charge Bunny with being our official "reNemberer". Now, that'll work!
So, when are you going back??
bunnysmum: I hadn’t thought about it being a dining review, but, DUH! Yes, I guess it was. I wish I could say my criticism was highly exaggerated. Not that I ever exaggerate. Much. Unfortunately, the pork chops really were pretty dry and Lowell’s meal was just so-so. For what we paid, it was a let down. I think it bothered us more than it might someone else since we are so focused on getting our money’s worth for things.
That’s nice if I have inspired you to go back to the habit of prayer before meals. I wish more people would, and not just because we’d get less funny looks if more people did it.
When are we going back? To WCC? Or to Disney in general? I would try WCC again, but maybe for lunch rather than dinner. No pork chops!!! We have no immediate plans to go back to the World. We have an upcoming vacation soon, but we’re going elsewhere. Sorry to shock everyone. Of course this means that our vacation destination is about to develop unseasonably warm weather. We’re hoping for another manifestation of the Lucky Fourteen Weather Phenomenon. Can we be so lucky, yet again? I’ll let you know as soon as we get back, so you can verify whether the LFWP is still intact!
Kay, that was so funny!
For those of you contemplating going, go for dinner, lunch is much more subdued. Probably because it is less busy then.
Backstage_Gal. Thanks for the comments. You’re such a faithful reader. I had heard on the DIS that WCC had been “toned down” somewhat. I have little basis of comparison, but it seemed fairly lively to me. We went for lunch the last time, and there wasn’t a big crowd, but it was still fun. They did completely different things that time. No ketchup bottle gag, so until this trip, I had heard about it, but never seen it happen.
Kay, I WAS seriously considering making an ADR for WCC for our Oct trip--however, the pork jerky and soggy cornbread is making me reconsider!
Thanks for the tip-off!
I too wish you would have spelled DRY on your plate. I think this is a really nifty little trick and plan to employ it as soon as possible. Thanks so much for the laughs and the education as well!
Bari: Oh, go there anyway and have fun. As long as you don’t wear dentures. Many people say they go for the fun, and the food is secondary. Still, I hope the pork chops aren’t always that dry. Hey, you could be the guinea pig and find out “what happens if you ask to send your food back to the chef.” Good luck with that! We’ll be rooting for you! Let us know what happens. (insert evil laugh here).
, then I remembered that was a different TR...
That's the same thought I had! Of course, I also thought of him today during a Simpsons rerun when Homer slipped on some water and fell down at the bottom of the stairs... 
I told DH he would love it there. So that is goal for me now to stay there.
It was a dog and I was so excited that, like you, I had to take a picture right away. He stayed with me the whole trip. Of course when I called home and told the family of my excitement they just didn't get it.
But I know you and all the others here understand.
Haven't seen him for a month so I'll be doing this
