Lori,
It was great meeting you as well. Next time I am in Denver, we should go do lunch or something!
So, what to do in LA, well you could go SHOPPING! Walk down Melrose and drool over everything that is completely out of your price range. If you have time you could take a boat over to Catalina Island and spend the day there. It is a GREAT place to visit. Lots of good shopping and food and sight seeing type stuff. There are always good shows happening. Not sure how in to theatre either of you are, but that might be worth looking into. Of course there is always DL. Which I Not sure what you are looking for. You could even do mega cheesy tourist stuff and go on a tour of stars' homes!
Let us know what you decide!

BTW, your daughters dress was sooooo cute. Both of your kids were adorable.

I bet you she would love to do a star's tour homes ? She would probably croak if she saw anyone famous . I have been to Dinseyland before but have never done the whole "LA" thing. So Hollywood, Melrose, what are other ultrahip places to hang out in LA - anything at all to entertain a teenager

Those elevators work wonders for ya don't they

Lori !!! NO comment ! Really!!! None !

 

[Msslaydbug]

Welcome back Stacey! Glad you had a great time!!! I am also excited to hear about your upcoming trips. I was pricing WDW trips and I just do not think we can swing 2 in one year. *sigh* I really hope they bring back free dining!

Tia -
It looks DH may be headed to Africa with his unit. Maybe we need to take the boys ourselves and be roomies Think we could get back any sooner ?

Staying offsite at DL isn't bad at all. We have stayed at the Fairfield Inn and it was literally right across the street frm Disneyland/CA. We had a 5 -10 minute walk across the street and we were literally in the park. The Anaheim area is NOTHING like Orlando. And Sea World still is doing the Military Salute. Go to Hero Salute dot Com You just register and take the print out to Sea World for yoour free tickets.

That's OK .... I am still waiting for another DISer to post about the "mommy" meltdown they witnessed.

That "mommy" that lost it on her children will remain nameless as well

Well i know it was not me,I'm the "daddY". All kidding a side,it was'nt me,was it???

 

[Msslaydbug]

No - the Disney mommy meltdown was ME !!
We were in line for the Mk bus and my kids were driving me CrAzY

Let me tell you the story. It is probably best you hear it from me before it comes from the other parties who witnessed it



We had a rental car so we didn't use the buses at all. Well this evening I decided I wanted to take the bus to MK since we would be there late for Wishes and Spectro.

Probably around 4 we got in line for the Mk bus. We had to wait through 2 busses full of people. Ella was swinging from the ropes, Austin was running his motor mouth non stop. My mom was just ...well...at that moment BREATHING (Yes I did say it was a meltdown). Ella is thinking it is funny to run away from me in a crowded line that we had been standing in for 10 - 15 minutes. Austin is now chasing her and dodging in and out of people.... I am am quickly losing my cool.

Austin announces " Mom - I HAVE to go to the bathroom"

Meltdown Mom :

" Are you KIDDING me ?!" I have a 5:00 ADR at the Plaza that I *have* to get to. I have just waited through two busses. you left the room 15 minutes ago and NOW you have to go to the bathroom ?!
WHAT happened to trying before you leave the room , huh ?!?
" I don't even know what to do" I am NOT getting out of this line"



" Austin - you had better run as fast as your little legs will carry you and hope that no bus comes when you are gone ~ and I MEAN it "

<<----- my son running into Pop to the bathrooms while I am huffing and puffing

My sweet Mom:

"Lori - if the bus comes you and Ella get on this bus and I will bring Austin on one of the next buses"

Meltdown Mom: " Well that really helps me get us all to dinner on time doesn't it ? Do you KNOW that all the restraunts in Disney are booked and I HAVE to use these Table Service credits. We CHECK OUT in two days

Meanwhile Austin comes running back and another bus pulls up. Two in fact ( I swear they plan things like this)

Oh - But wait the story isn't over yet

That is when I turn around and see a mom with her Dh , stroller, and 2 girls staring right at me. The mom looks at me and I swear she looked right at my lime green mickey head on our stroller that reads Msslaydbug and they turn to get on the bus.

As they are getting on the bus I noticed both Mom AND Dad have lime green Mickeys hanging on their bags.

Oh ~ COME ON Not only did i just have a major parental meltdown in line to the Mk but now I am going to have to read about myself on the DIS when I get home I will be spammed and flamed at the stake

So whoever you were in the Pop line that had to witness that ( the family probably unsubbed from this Pop thread as soon as they returned home from the trip) I am very sorry. That is not normally how I act. I am a very sweet fun caring person who loves my children and and other people at Disney

So that is my confession - do I still get to stay part of our Popper group . Can I blame the hot humid weather and all the love bugs ? What about the lack of elevators at Pop (Yes I was on the first floor but so what !) the super sonic toilets, the bad ventilation, or the packed food courts

I promise to never have another meltdown at Disney again

R I G H T !!!! How's my nw buddy Ryan ??? Tell him I miss him too ::
OK... the cheapest I found is $177.00 R/T for Jan. 24th going home Jan. 28th,2007... how's that ???

Ryan is doing ok. He got sick the last few days we were there. He is still not 100%. I am hopeful he will be back to his normal self soon. In fact tonight he even told me he was ready for bed. That NEVER happens, so I know he is not feeling well. Poor kid.

 

[dreamergirl78]

My daughter just absolutely fell in love with Ryan! She talked about him for the next 2 days. She kept forgetting his name so she dubbed him "The boy who swims".

Tooooo funny. Ryan had quite a following of girls at the pool. I think I am going to be in TROUBLE!!!! the boy who swims, I LOVE that! I'll be sure to tell Ryan that.

 

[dreamergirl78]

Look into Candy Cane Inn. Military rates hover around $100 a night. Great location and super nice people!

Thanks! I will do that. 2 of my friends said they want to go too, so looks like we may head out to Cali in March! 5 kids, 3 adults... that should be interesting!
