Return to the Scene of the Crime: The Lurkyloos’ First Anniversary at WDW! New VIDEO!

[DisneyDmbNut]

i knew it!!!

you slipped in your PM..but, i was a good girl and didn't tell!!!


*kicks the ground and pouts that she won't be in Disney on the 3rd - 7th like I had been planning!!!


ok..so, wisely, Carrie didn't give me HER cell number..she gave me Patrick's (probably because she thought I would send her random wedding pictures forever) so our conversation went like this :

Me: Hi Patrick! This is Betsy..Carrie's, er friend..
Patrick : WHO??
Me: er uh, Betsy..from the Disboards
Patrick: Uh, ok, suuure
Me: we are about 20 minutes away from the Boardwalk
Patrick: and I should do what with this information....

haha!! Just Kidding!!!

We arranged to meet at Boardwalk after I checked in..my sister was none too happy with my plans to meet a Bride (as she is sorta selfish with me and doesn't like to share)
We went to our room and put our stuff away and came back to the lobby in time to meet Carrie..
the actual conversation went more like this:

Lurkyloo:“Hi!GreattomeetyouHere’sabigslabofouranni versarycakethatwecan’tfitinourluggage,doyouwantitI knowitlookskindagross,butit’sreallygoodAlsohere’sthecaketopper,
Ican'tbeartothrowitawayitfondantanditdoesn'ttastoogoodimsureohmygodaretheseallyourkidsackkkohmygodwhereisthecartheyarewildbanshees!! !”

Betsy:oh my gosh! CAKE!! My favorite thing besides cake! Gimme!!

So we took our pictures (I have an iphone too, so my pictures look the same)..Let's not talk about T-shirts, cause I look like a man wearing my Reedy Creek Fire Shirt!!! :

and because I couldn't wait until 1900 Park Fare the next morning..I had this as a Pre-Breakfast..that was a big slab of cake before I got ahold of it

My nephew ate some of the topper before we realized that giving a 8yo boy pure sugar would make us do this:

That cake was so good (and turned our tongues pink because, I always eat fondant!!! I also tried a gold thingy too) it was like peanut butter heaven in a Ziploc

and now I am out of witty things to say because my boss is sitting across from me asking me dumb questions like "are you listening to me or are you just typing that email???"

Today was a very sad day. I’m sure that all of you, wherever you were, felt a brief wave of sadness pass over you, signaling that someone, somewhere was leaving WDW. And that person was me!

If its any consolation (although it wouldn't be if I were in your shoes) at that same time DH and I were flying into Orlando to start our WDW trip. We landed around 9:45 am that morning.

It’s gonna be a doozy, though – I have to take a red-eye on the way in, and then the weekend is packed with events, including a private party at Living Seas Salon (where FigmentFan had her wedding reception!)

Hey, that's me I'm totally jealous, I would love to go to a party in the LSS! I got to do a day at Disney solo at the end of our last trip and I was surprised how much fun I had on it. I hope you have a great time too and enjoy the festivities!

 

[Kimberly815]

Yippee! Another trip report for us to read!

If Patrick, your official trip photographer, isn't there to take all the pictures will there be anything for us to see (besides iphone photos)?

Just teasing! I am sure you will step up to the task!

 

[reelmom]

Yay!!! I would love to go on a solo trip. Can't wait to read all about it.

 

[MiaBella05]

I hope you get started on your PTR for your May trip soon!

 

[PopArtGal]

So glad you guys had a fun trip.

Yay for the solo trip!! You're gonna have so much fun!

 

[lov2b@disney]

Bummer...is it really over????

A solo trip in May! Sounds like a blast!

 

[joleen76]

A solo trip sounds like so much fun. You will be crazy buzy with all the activities too!!

Sorry your TR is over.

 

[29apr00]

WOW a solo trip! I would so love that! You'll have a great time!

 

[annnewjerz]

WOOHOO!! Solo trip----yeah! I think I guessed that you'd be making another trip to WDW (along with the baby thing)----does that mean I get a glowy eyeball thing?

I agree with other post'ers when I say--please start your pre-TR very very soon so we can all read (and make sure to link it in your siggie otherwise I'll never find it). It's almost April and you'll be going in May---there are lots of arrangements to be made and lots of planning to share with all of us!!

Great ending to your TR and hope you have a fantastic trip in May. If you want to make another trip in December---we'll be there!

 

[adisneygal]

Ok, I am a crabby baby the day we leave WDW too. I hate it!

We are there April 25-May 3 for our wedding. We leave for home the morning on the 3rd after our late bfast at Chef Mickey's. Or whatev time DF can drag my depressed but outta there.

So if you can meet up sometime on the 3rd, either morning or early afternoonish, I'm game. I keep wanting to extend my trip but my kids have this thing called school.

 

[tink1957]

Thanks for another great trip report Carrie. Congrats on your solo trip in May, I can't wait to read your pre-trippie.
By the way, I got a kick out of your cake remains, it looked like some kind of bizarre fishhead or maybe I'm just weird or both.

 

[wishiwereindisney]

i have now caught up on the lurkyloo trilogy of trip reports - so i am a longtime lurkyloo reader first time poster. i feel like i have to post as it feels less stalkerish being as i have read all about your wedding and anniversary. your reports are so great. enjoy your solo trip. dh and i will be there at the same time so i will be on the lookout for my first disboard celebrity sighting.

 

[lurkyloo]

so sad this one's over, but yay for the solo trip in May!!

Yes! I’m almost more excited for that trip report than I am for the trip – is that wrong?

Now when can we see your DH dancing around the world?? lol!

Soon! Possibly even tonight, if things are still on track...

Ooh, a solo trip will be fun! I don't know if I would be brave enough to do it though! Looks like we all have another TR to look forward to!

After my little bout with loneliness when DH had food poisoning, I’m not sure I’m brave enough, but I think the prospect of going back to WDW will override it. Besides, I used to take solo trips to Disneyland all the time – surely it’s not that different... gulp....

wait I just realized... WHAT am I going to read until May??? Can you make up a story of an imaginary TR where you do strange things like wake up late, not make ADR's and actually drink WDW coffee??

I like it! It can be my un-Trip Report, and I can do everything the opposite of what I normally do. So I guess that means no desserts...

I will be in town when you come in May. Let me know if you need someone to hang out with.. I'll be here. And I'll try not to be rude and interrupt any planned dinners like I did with your anniversary "private" dinner

Tracy, that would be *so* much fun! I think DH would kill me if I went backstage at Nemo without him, so maybe we can do girly stuff, like stalk weddings!

*kicks the ground and pouts that she won't be in Disney on the 3rd - 7th like I had been planning!!!

I know – I was so bummed to hear you had to postpone your trip! But I love your addition to my trip report (and it’s probably better you talked to DH on the phone than me – I was in the middle of some choice swears!)

Hey, that's me I'm totally jealous, I would love to go to a party in the LSS! I got to do a day at Disney solo at the end of our last trip and I was surprised how much fun I had on it. I hope you have a great time too and enjoy the festivities!

Aw - you should come! There will be CAKE!

Yippee! Another trip report for us to read!

If Patrick, your official trip photographer, isn't there to take all the pictures will there be anything for us to see (besides iphone photos)?!

Yes, I am going to take my new role as trip photographer very seriously. In fact, I may give up live blogging (aiyeeee!) so I can keep my hands on the real camera.

Yay!!! I would love to go on a solo trip. Can't wait to read all about it.

I have to admit, when I was planning our honeymoon I was reading DISer WDWPolyPrincess’ solo trip reports and secretly covetous! So I’m excited to try it out for myself.

I hope you get started on your PTR for your May trip soon!

Coming right up! Needs a catchy title!

So glad you guys had a fun trip.

Yay for the solo trip!! You're gonna have so much fun!

Yes!!!!

Bummer...is it really over???? !

Never!!! Why, there’s still DH’s video, maybe the Roots’ video, and who knows how many OT discussions I can eke outta this report.

A solo trip sounds like so much fun. You will be crazy buzy with all the activities too!!

Sorry your TR is over.

Yes, but as we all know, nothing cures the post-TR blues like a pre-TR – tee hee!

WOW a solo trip! I would so love that! You'll have a great time!

I am definitely It’ll be a whole new experience for me. Now let’s see if we can’t think up a way for you to go on a solo trip. ...Perhaps the kids need a little bonding time with Daddy!

Great ending to your TR and hope you have a fantastic trip in May. If you want to make another trip in December---we'll be there!

Ooh – I’ve always wanted to go in December! Are you going toward the beginning or the end?

We are there April 25-May 3 for our wedding. We leave for home the morning on the 3rd after our late bfast at Chef Mickey's. Or whatev time DF can drag my depressed but outta there.

So if you can meet up sometime on the 3rd, either morning or early afternoonish, I'm game. I keep wanting to extend my trip but my kids have this thing called school.

Yes! That would be really fun – let’s see if we can make it work! (I’m only sad I’m gonna miss crashing your wedding by a few days).

Thanks for another great trip report Carrie. Congrats on your solo trip in May, I can't wait to read your pre-trippie.
By the way, I got a kick out of your cake remains, it looked like some kind of bizarre fishhead or maybe I'm just weird or both.

I think it’s like looking for forms in the clouds – we all see something different in the mangled cake!

i have now caught up on the lurkyloo trilogy of trip reports - so i am a longtime lurkyloo reader first time poster. i feel like i have to post as it feels less stalkerish being as i have read all about your wedding and anniversary. your reports are so great. enjoy your solo trip. dh and i will be there at the same time so i will be on the lookout for my first disboard celebrity sighting.

Thank you for reading along - and posting! And definitely say hi if our paths cross!

 

[Happydog]

It's OVER??!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...........

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Awesome ending Lurkyloo! Another TR in May? You know if you post it, we will read! Until next time... Peace Out!

 

[2BoysMom]

No twins?

 

[MEK]

Well - there is no better way to end a trip then to start planning another one. Yay for your quick solo trip! I do not envy your 5 hour plane trip, but I am jealous you are going back so soon!

I have a June trip planned with the entire family, DS's friend and DN (dear nephew). I am now trying to figure out how to plan a quick free dining trip in September. I missed free dining last year and am really considering a solo trip.

 

[JustMickey]

I checked out Matt around the world, it was really cool! Can't wait to see the Lurkyloos' version!

 

[KristinAnne]

Wow, that sounds great! Maybe you'll get hooked up with more trips through the Passporter! Do you know details and just can't tell or do you not have them yet?
