Preparing for a bad trip

[minniesnana]

And you might have to (stop, take deep breath and visibly shudder) share a bus with three other resorts to get back to the hard drinking, smoking, hooligans that hang out at the Value resorts. Walk carefully weilding your refillable mug from 2006 - works much like garlic to a vampire

This thread is awesome. I love everyone's sarcastic point of view We leave for our first vacation to Disney in 15 YEARS in 2 weeks and I'm so excited I am driving friends and family insane. They think I'm crazy for already (already...I leave in 2 weeks!!!!!) wanting to borrow their luggage. I want to be pack my rain ponchos, shoe holders, glow sticks RIGHT NOW.

I guess some people aren't prepared to wait in line, hear kids cry (hello even my 11 year old cries sometimes!) and eat junk food. One of my favorite things to do on vacation is eat food SOMEONE ELSE COOKED

My daughter Emily is watching me post right now. She wanted to add this She's one of the main reasons we're going back to Disney because it's her 8th birthday while we're there and like she told her Daddy "Daddy, Disney World has magic"

Wanted to add.....

I hope you dont mind overpriced food ..... the inability to eat white bread and being forced to eat wheat buns only and filet mignon- forget it

I know you will also be suprised to find out that having a fast pass doesnt mean you will never have to wait.... I know that you thought they were holding a train in Space Mountain just for you....

And last but not least... I hope you have been working out at the gym for that 440 meter SPRINT to be the first in line or at the fast pass machine for Toy Story Mania..... you may have been needing to work out with weights as well to muscle your way through the line.... OR.... Just use the stroller to plow a path

OP- hope you have a wonderful time and we will be thinking of you---- we all wish we were going ---- no need for you to be so miserable all alone---- Dont you know???? Misery LOVES company!

We are staying at the All Star Sports, how did you guess? I will admit to being somewhat of a hooligan at times, but no smoking at all. And very little hard drinking. Gosh, I hope I fit in. Otherwise I have an old Dixie Landings mug I can pack. Do you think that will work?

 

[Circusgirl]

Thank you all for the very excellent Saturday morning giggle fest!!

 

[chrisann]

this was very funny and has made my day better! Please, don't forget to add to your list that there will be some rude/selfish parents who kept their kids up really late so they could watch the fireworks and as they are standing on the bus holding their sleeping child, they are looking at you to give up their seat!! Have fun!!!

Well, we leave in a week and I KNOW we are going to have a bad trip b/c I really want my 3 yr old to ride Rock 'n' Roller Coaster with me and even though I have teased her hair up like Cyndi Lauper in the 80's and is wearing 5 inch stilettos, she still won't make the height restrictions!

Darn Disney and their height restrictions trying to keep her safe!!

Very funny thread! I love it! There is a fair share of negative threads on here, but that is what people like to talk about. If i start a thread and the title is "I had fun" it would get 5 replies, which is fine. If i start a thread and the title is "Darn EVC" i could leave it blank and get 350 replies in 20 minutes.

I will be in Disney from Nov 12th-18th, just look for me on the park bench changing my kids diaper!

 

[Narnia]

Ohh I plan on breaking all the "rules".
My stroller will become a battle ram
We are oing to be forcing our way to the front of the line to see the parades
I'm saving not one but two tables even though we won't be eating anything
I'm only going to tip 13% on buffets
I'm going to leave dirty dipers after I change my 3 year old on ride seats
i'm going to let my kids play hide and seek in the stores since they are so cute
I'm going to take other people's kids pictures because they are cute( might photo shop them to make me feel better)
I'm going to take 6 seats on the bus so no one else can sit


I just hope no one else follows suit or I'll have to go home early!!!

Money will go flying out of your wallet!

 

[minniesnana]

No smoking - very little drinking and a Dixie Landings cup - good lord you so won't fit in at the Values. I guess you'll have a bad time after all. Can you at least rent a EVC and not practice driving it before you hit the parks?

 

[TDC Nala]

Nobody will give you their seat on the bus, either.

 

[MHSweb79]

OK, this is officially my favorite thread ever. I liked the weird "towel animal" pictures and I loved the mama snake story, but this one has them all beat.
Thanks!

 

[Lynn5700]

WHAT OMG LOL!!!!

Have fun and don't worry about others! I have never been rin over by an EVC, had a snake or bedbugs in a room and please there is nothing wrong with grabbing a table before you order your food at a CS.70 is nice weather!

Have fun and don't sweat the stupid stuff.

 

[lbklyn]

Demand that everyone you see who even pointed a camera in your direction immediately rip their film out or delete the image. Perverts are everywhere in Disney World!!!

I am laughing so much picturing actually doing this!

 

[hearts8701]

love running to fast track because theres no line only to find out its down!!!!!!

 

[Sandy321]

we actually ate at Columbia Harbor and Pinnocios counter service at MK for the first time!! EAt upstairs at CH - no lines, lots of quiet areas!! Delish food (if you like fried fish, or chicken nuggets, they have a salad - but we really liked the "apple pie" only it looked more like apple dumplings to us!! Pinichios is over by Small World, that place was crowded, but again, we were in the right place at the right time- we had the best salads there!! and Chocolate cheesecake!)

sorry, cant help you about the lack of towel animals, we stayed at Pop, and not only was there one in the window when we got there, but somehow that mousekeeper knew we were going to Disney animation and sketch Eeyore, because she left us an eeyore!!

 

[NJtoATL]

Don't forget you will overhear a parent yelling at their young child " I paid a lot of money for this vacation and you better have a good time."

Have fun. I'll be there for Thanksgiving to suffer through all of that misery.

 

[missesdisney]

Some good news for you.....

if it's 70 degrees you should have no trouble finding the cast members in the parking lots because they will be the ones in yellow ski parkas!

 

[Greenfield1984]

Wow your setting yourself up for failure if you truly are worried about all these things. Although i suspect that your really just being facetious towards all the negative posts that come up.

Cuz i mean to start with 1. 70 degrees cold? That sounds like perfect weather for walking all day. Not too hot and not too cold.

2. Too many foreigners. I enjoy my multcultural city way too much for that comment not to bother me...

3. If what others think really does bother you then get your food then a table. Because nobody will think that is incorect manners wheras there are some who do believe it is inapropriate to grab a seat and then get your food second (whether it is inaporpriate or not does not seem to matter to you, only that what others think is what matters)

4. Somebody will run you over with their ECV. Get insurance now... Just kidding

5. Ya those bedbugs are impossible to get rid of. But really snakes? Havn't heard that one.

Again i'm sure your just being facetious. Your going to have a good time and your right the negative posts on the boards probably do scare alot of the disney newbies out there. But those negative posts spark so much more heated debate and are just so darn interesting .
