Pete Hunting: The Trip Report.

[LilGMom]

Wow!! So glad that your trip had a good ending!

 

[Jacksmom99]

So after I left Bawb, I changed search strategies, I was checking every beer line for Corey and every bathroom line for Julie. The lines for the ladies rooms were ridiculous. And one of the back podcasts I listened to on the drive down was about the Wishes cruise... so I figured finding Julie in a bathroom line would be a good bet. I got some really nasty looks trying to get a good look at the ladies in the restroom lines. I abandoned that strategy, I don't need an angry, beer drinking BF introducing me to the concrete.

So I was standing there pretty much resigned that it wasn’t gonna happen, about to start climbing stairs... and there he is, Pete and Walter both in DisUnplugged T-Shirts. I am smiling my creepy stalker smile of satisfaction, relief mixed with elation. Pete gets to the bottom of the escalator and sez, “are you Oscar” shakes my hand and gives me a big hug.

Talk about a Disney happy ending, and in Universal Studios of all places.

I need to stop reading the DIS while I'm proctoring state testing!! I almost spit my iced tea out picturing a crazy man peeking in the ladies room.

Then I get goose bumps picturing you watiching Pete ride down the escalator toward you.

Great trip report, WO! I wasn't able to be on the 'live' thread Saturday night, but I read it Sunday with the appropriate amount of anxiety and hope for you to win

Great job and enjoy the cruise!!

Thanks for the great trip report and keeping me so entertained last Saturday. I am happy you won it was well deserved. I am listening to the podcast as we type and smiling from ear to ear for you!!!! You will have a great story to tell now.

CONGRATS! Looks like Spongebob has a little pixie dust of his own over at Universal. Have a great time on the cruise!

What Pete said on the Podcast is so true. The whole thing was like lightning in a bottle. Everything just came together and it was so cool. I loved hearing about how they were all so shocked about the fastest growing thread on the DIS ever. I can't imagine how they could ever do something like this again and have it have the same "feeling" ... of course WO driving from Ohio really made it so interesting, we all got behind Oscar cause it was such a great story!

 

[carelo]

Congrats WO!! That is a great report. I felt like I was there with you rooting for you all the way! Have a magical time on the cruise.

Appreciate the rundown Oscar! It is nice to hear you side of what was going on to put with the 'mad refreshing' of Saturday night.

This is something I only wish I had the guts/determination/ability to do. Sounds like a great adventure.

When Pete and the gang were giving their rundown of the night, they left off right when you found each other and I started yelling at my Ipod, "what did he say? what did he say??" Then I got to work and read your trip report What an EXCELLENT adventure! Thanks so much for taking the time to share - can't wait to meet you on the cruise!

Hi Folks, I just uploaded a video to you tube that lets you get an idea what was happening. It also lets you listen in to the many phone calls we did to keep everyone up to date on if the Shirt was still in play for winning the cruise.
Here is the link.

Priceless!

 

[kab407]

Oscar, I cannot wait to finally meet you. First moogeetoe is one me!

 

[UrsulasShadow]

I am a pretty good googler, and know how to use the internet archives (I am way a big giant dork) and was able to find a few pics of Pete most of which are not recent. You can still recognize Pete from the older pics. I was temped to ask Ursula for the pics from the meet and greet, but I didn't, I like to play fair.

If you only knew how close I was to sending pics to you...but I didn't want you to get disqualified for having them, and I did promise everyone I wouldn't share.

If not for these events, I would have never been curious to check out Universal. I wouldn't mind a couple days over there to check it out. If you wanna go, take me!

You had the exact same reactions I had to the 2 rides you got on. I really enjoyed Mummy, would do it several times in a row if I had had the time, but Twister was not at all what I expected. I need to go back to Universal, but I'll skip Twister, and a couple more of the lamer rides. I'll take ya, Osky!

I see a pre cruise excursion.

 

[MenashaCorp]

So nice to see good things happen to good stalkers.... errr people...

Hope you recover quickly from the driving!!

And there WILL be stories told on said cruise...liquor will be provided by interested parties as necessary...

 

[Cyrano]

Well done and thanks for sharing

 

[alysnwndrlnd]

I think I would have started a rumor that Barbra Streisand was stuck on Twister and just staked it out LOL

awesome weekend podcast crew and Oscar.

I think we should make this an annual event!

 

[safetymom]

I wish I knew who you were when I was in the park that night looking to see the person that was trying to find Pete. I would have loaned you my phone.

The crowds in Universal were crazy. I have never ever seen crowds like that. I made the circuit of the park several times looking for Pete, Walter, Bob, Corey, Julie. I know what they look like and I couldn't find them.

That is amazing that you did. Congratulations for a fun exciting Saturday night and your winning the cruise.

That is such an awesome retelling! As I was reading along your initial thread, I told DBf, you better win that podcast cruise! You definitely deserved it with your efforts!!! Congrats & we'll see you on the cruise!!!
