Snow to 80 in 8 days–A spoonful of Holiday Cheer (2/5 update Ch 36 - Final Thoughts)

Pat, when are you going in September?



The heck with the boys...grown up trips are more fun. :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Hey Kathy I answered on my TR ( fresh with update :rolleyes1)
I am planning Sept 26 - Oct 3rd for the 40th anniversary and 5k and the start of Food and Wine. :woohoo: Final approval is contingent upon vacation time approval but I have a room !!:cool1:
 
Marv, I am sorry that it won't be a trip for the whole family this time. But it will open up possibilities for other resorts, so that might make it easier to find a room, won't it? For ADRs my advise would be to try to get some at the resort restaurants. Those are easier than inside the parks. The great thing is that with the online dining reservation system you can search for a day and time and it will offer you all the restaurants that have availability.

Drew sounds like a great soccer player, it is a team sport and here in Germany those players which are great at getting the ball into the right position often are as popular as those who score. Which position does he play?

Yes, it is going to be strange without everyone being together! Will definitely take some adjustment. :guilty: I will be burning that online ADR system up later today for sure! :thumbsup2

Drew is a lefty so he normally plays on the left wing to use his strength making crossing passes, although he did play some in the midfield the other night also. One of his passes was a cross right to the feet of another player in front of the goal that was redirected into the goal. The other one he was bringing the ball down the left side and definitely could have gone through and taken the shot, but he sent a through ball past the defense that another player was able to take one on one against the goalie and score on.
 
Thinking strongly now about moving our trip until the last week of June, returning home on July 4th since that is a holiday at work. (sound like a familiar time Glenn???)

Yes, that sounds like a great time to go. (I think you really just want to stockpile a few Judy-do pictures of your own.) :laughing:

Either way, I hope you find a time that works out for everyone.
 

Or October when I'm going or in August when I'm going !!!:worship:I do know for sure I am going in 2012 SOLO to celebrate my 65th birthday !!:banana::banana:I just can't decide when !!:confused:I know I wanna meet with as many of you guys as possible so I will be checking your 2012 plans and if I don't see any I'll know you are avoiding me:rotfl2::rotfl2:
 
Really enjoying your report! We are going again this December, and your report is getting me excited!
 
Well, talked to Matt today and the bad news is it doesn't appear he will make the next trip with us to Disney regardless of when I reschedule it! Thinking strongly now about moving our trip until the last week of June, returning home on July 4th since that is a holiday at work. (sound like a familiar time Glenn???)

Guess I will be on the phone tomorrow checking availability, then cancelling a whole bunch of ADRs and checking to see what is available during our new dates..... :confused3 If that week doesn't work out, I will probably shoot for the end of July into the first week of August. :rolleyes1 Whichever works out, it looks like I will be doing a "moist" TR after that one..... :headache:

I'm sorry Matt won't be able to make it with you....but if you move your trip to June I won't be able to stal... uh..... meet you :guilty:
 
Okay, this round of the contest is fairly short. It won't be up long so I can get on with the TR, so get those answers in quickly!!! :yay:


What activity did Marv and Ali do when we returned to Kidani for the afternoon? And keep it clean! (I started to mention names, but THAT list WOOD be wayyyyy too long!)

What method of transportation did we use to arrive at WCC?

Did anyone participate in the horse race around the dining room?

Who asked for ketchup at our table during dinner?

Who ended up having to stand up in front of everyone and sing "I'm a little teapot?" (Bonus points if you can guess what the reward was)

After dinner, where did we want to go for the evening? (which park)

What was the main thing we wanted to do when we got there?

I'm not doing so hot in this little game but I'm going to give it another try.

1) I'm going to guess that you took a stroll around the resort and took more pictures.


2.You drove your cars.


3. no

4. Drew

5. Ali and the reward was desert

6. I'm guessing DHS since you haven't been there yet and AK would be closed unless it was EMH.

7. Osbourne lights

I thought about you today and even took some pictures you might enjoy. I haven't downloaded them yet. Is it okay if I post them here?
 
hope your new plans work out for you marv....both ways leave you open for the candi birthday palooza this summer so you can still come to that.
:thumbsup2
 
Sorry I missed the discussion on your date change. I can say that without Matt you will have a completely different (NOT necessarily bad- just different) dynamic going for the trip. Yes, adjustment, yes, you'll think a million times, I wish Matt were here for this or that, but it will be a great trip making new memories nonetheless.

It will be neat to see where you 4 end up this year, and I'm excited to see how you fared with new ADRs.

Of course, you know my thoughts on a solo trip- I hope someday you can enjoy one! :goodvibes
 
Just popping in to say that I hope graduation was wonderful and to wish your lovely wife a Happy Mother's Day.

Happy Mother;s Day to Ali !!! I vote Marv cooks breakfast in bed for you and does dishes all day !!!!!:rotfl2:

Hmmm, Wonder what a Kathy, Pat and Marv tour Disney TR would be named????
Well that stinks! I'm sure you'll miss Matt coming along. You could always bring a flat Matt (his picture on a stick:laughing:!) then he could be there in spirit! You could even make into a TR game when you return...instead of Ali's it's flat Matt!:rolleyes1

Good luck with the rescheduling. I think you're right, moist is definitely in your future though!



No problem Marv, I'm always here to help in whatever sarcastic way I can!:rolleyes:

Yay for Drew!:yay: He sounds like such a nice kid and a good sport. It's always baffling when I see those kids playing soccer who just hog the ball while their team mates walk around the field.:confused3
Hmm, the "flat Matt" contest??? Has possibilities!!! :goodvibes

As for soccer, you don't last long when you get to the JV level if you are a ball hog! They learn to take one touch with the ball and get it off their feet. As a final "soccer" update, Drew's JV team played their final game last week before we had to head out for Matt's graduation! He got to play most of the game, and scored the only goal in their 1-0 win! (Sadly I missed it due to work... :sad1: ) They ended the season with an unblemished 13-0 record! :banana: :woohoo:
Yes, that sounds like a great time to go. (I think you really just want to stockpile a few Judy-do pictures of your own.) :laughing:

Either way, I hope you find a time that works out for everyone.
Now that would be one installment of the Judy-do game I bet I would win! And no conflict with the Rules Committee!!! :rotfl:
 
Well, it looks like I still have time to get a guess in - the "speed round" has taken a while - I was packing and leaving for vacation, then sailing, then catching up - so I thought I missed this round too - thanks for waiting!:lmao:

I think you sat in the big rocking chairs on one of the patios to look over the savannah and relax.

You took the bus to MK, then took the boat over to WL

I'm going to say Drew was bribed to participate - and you ran behind spanking him with the spoon to be sure he won the race

You as the chief DISer asked for the ketchup

Matt sang I'm a Little Teapot - a brownie sundae was his reward, as well as Drew's reward and you all shared the desserts.

Since it was so accessible from WL, you went to MK and watched the Holiday parade, then went shopping.

Hmm, 65th birthday party at Disney!!! I think you need to decide when and start sending out the invites to everyone. What a DISmeet that could turn out to be!!! :banana:
Really enjoying your report! We are going again this December, and your report is getting me excited!
:welcome: Amber!!!!
It is great to have you join in! Have you been around Christmas before? Once I finally get this next update posted, a majority of my fun days and special decorations pics are coming up!
I'm sorry Matt won't be able to make it with you....but if you move your trip to June I won't be able to stal... uh..... meet you :guilty:
Yeah I know! That is definitely one of the additional drawbacks to moving the trip, but alas it was inevitable! Would have been cool to add you to my list of Disney stalkers, right there along with Glenn!!! :rotfl2:
I'm not doing so hot in this little game but I'm going to give it another try.
You never know. All it takes is one good round and you can jump right back up into the heat of the battle!!!
I thought about you today and even took some pictures you might enjoy. I haven't downloaded them yet. Is it okay if I post them here?
Hmmm, now there's a loaded question....... It can't be worse (well much anyway) than some of the ones already posted on here by my many DISfriends...... :rolleyes1 Sure go ahead! I'm brave!!! :eek:
hope your new plans work out for you marv....both ways leave you open for the candi birthday palooza this summer so you can still come to that.
:thumbsup2
Okay Dan, so when are you sharing the details so I can start planning??? :confused: Or did Candi already let you know you had lost your mind thinking you were inviting me??? :guilty:

Of course, you know my thoughts on a solo trip- I hope someday you can enjoy one! :goodvibes
It will certainly be different! After all the work I'm thinking really hard about a solo trip in the Fall! The AP will still have plenty of life left in it then..... :thumbsup2
Sorry Matt cannot make the next trip. :guilty:
We've had some great times together! It is definitely going to be a change. Enjoy the time with Levi and Lexi while you can! It goes by fast...
Just popping in to say that I hope graduation was wonderful and to wish your lovely wife a Happy Mother's Day.

Graduation went great! We had to check out by 10:00am Mother's Day morning, then move all of Matt's stuff into an apartment, so not much time for Ali to enjoy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother;s Day to Ali !!! I vote Marv cooks breakfast in bed for you and does dishes all day !!!!!:rotfl2:
No, but I did take her out to breakfast with the boys before we had to put in a lot of work before our drive home.
 
I think you underestimate them. They can be real jerks sometimes (or so I hear). ;)
True, but they have no jurisdiction on my TR.... ;)
Well, it looks like I still have time to get a guess in - the "speed round" has taken a while - I was packing and leaving for vacation, then sailing, then catching up - so I thought I missed this round too - thanks for waiting!:lmao:
Whew, I didn't think I was going to be able to wait you out! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone it was your fault I hadn't posted an update recently........ :rolleyes1
