Something About Nothing ... #12

[tinydancer09]

Good Sunday all!


Your parents will be so proud!

You look lovely, enjoy your trip



Hmmph - chickens



Repeat after me: it's "Yinz" not "Youse" lol

Very proud to report that another of my favorite pittsburghese words has made it into the Oxford dictionary. Here tell it migrated out to Chicago in the 1920's too btw Mac. It's a tried & true, multi-purposed, word. An often-heard greeting amongst friends and also a term of derision for morons: jagoff!

The entire area is celebrating our inclusiveness by preparing to watch the Steelers play to be followed by more dancing around the maypole by the light of the harvest moon

Haha lets just say my parents appreciate my sense of humor. I try to keep it light hearted, but sometimes you gotta get a little riskay
We made it to the mouse house. I4 is a parking lot so we cut through Disney to get here. I'm about to rinse off then we're headed to the main event......
Drum roll...

SUPER TARGET!

Only kidding. Kind of.

Carabas tonight as they have decent options for my dietary challenged sister

 

[RAPstar]

I went ahead and bought the early bird check in for my flight since I always forget (especially since I have plans after work the day before). Now to get through the next few days.

It was 30 minutes before they evacuated us. No biggie though. We were the only ones who didn't crawl out of the boat. I didn't want to risk getting my pass revoked.... I'm a rule follower.

FINALLY headed to dinner have our night of disasters. Just got stuck on the hotel boat for 15 minutes waiting for clearance. We just shouldn't ride boats anymore

What in the world is going on?

She was in a ride that broke down and all had to get off the ride


Sometimes it is a kewl thing as mib broke down when I was on it

TM turned all the lights on in the mib and we walked out

Saw how everything was set up in that ride building

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Good evening y'all! Gorgeous, cooler weather here with the sparse drizzle... not that we needed the rain.

I hope those lucky enough to be in the parks are enjoying themselves!

 

[macraven]

Big news from me..
We got a 30 minute rainfall late today

Measured almost 1/2 inch

Better than nothing since no rain for months and now only 13 " below normal

Transformers broke the first time I rode it. Got to see where the hidden elevators are. I can't spot them anymore. It's kinda amazing how well they are able to hide things sometimes.

Chicago talk

Sorry but some phrases will never die out for me

I thought it was Massachusetts talk.

Lol I guess disasters was a strong word. My sister and I were joking around about it but that probably wasn't shared through text context. In no way did we literally have a disaster. The people in our boat did start wiggling out and jumping across the platform though.

I usually don't mind getting stuck on things as you can see how they work like Mac said. Transformers did it three times last time we were here and got to see how the elevator mechanism worked. It was really funny to watch unsuspecting people in the car think the ride was collapsing TOWER OF TERROR! Oh wait wrong park.

Had a weird/slightly scary encounter at target last night. Man was walking around the parking lot with a broken car belt and started approaching and almost stepping out in front of my moving car in attempts to stop us. As soon as I realized what he was doing I gassed it and then reported to target security. I refuse to be kidnapped on the first night of Disney. Hope they found the guy and hope he was just an idiot and not a legit criminal.

Up and about to get ready for keys to the kingdom tour. Have a good day everyone!

They're in the falling scenes when the windows are moving on the walls. I didn't ride it yesterday or I could tell you exactly what's happening. There's a way to look up at a stationary set item and know. I usually am focusing on finding it rather than staring at the effects during those as 3D falling simulator scenes make me

Good morning all. Trying to do a little reading while having coffee before busy life.

Hope everyone is doing great. A few more weeks for us and can't wait, mainly to hang with homies.

It's fun getting evaced off rides, I think we have been evaced off most of them. Lol

 

[Lynne G]

Okay Mac. Little rain for you, thunderstorm for us. Kindly started 5 minutes before heading out, and lets just say, I am happy my car can traverse puddles that go to the top of the tires. A very wet, and noisy start to this Monday. And it's still raining, over an hour later. Oh well, we too needed the rain.

Hope all are enjoying a large cup of coffee, a nice cup of tea, and those that are in the parks, having a great time already. It's Monday, wake up homies.

With that, off to make tea. Later y'all.

 

[Robo56]

Sending thoughts and prayers to all our fellow citizens in New York, New Jersey and St. Cloud Minnesota as they recover from terrorist attacks yesterday

 

[macraven]

Can't believe it's Monday again

And just starting my day

Just sent you a message.......

Halloween magic band ready!

Just got done with the keys to the kingdom tour. I do recommend it, though, I recommend doing it in December or January. I've seen upwards of 104 heat index today and you're outside most of the tour. We had a wonderful guide named Claudia. They have changed the restaurant to Tomorrowland Terrace. It was very enjoyable even though it was a bit out of the way.

We're back at the condo until later this evening. Fast passes starting at 7 and we'll stay until the 11 pm MSEP... One last time.

I have insider information on the parade (or lack there of) and Osborne family lights(maybe you already know the lights though.) I took a KttK oath not to tell but uh... You want me to break oath?

Had that happen during the mummy and got to finish the entire ride with the lights on... LOVED IT!

Disclaimer: this is a cast member speculation. In no way is it fact.

When the cast member went to the last night of Osborne family lights as she was walking out she noticed something she never had before... In a corner very small it said "see you soon." Now, as many of you may know Walt never said goodbye, he said see you soon. Could just be a nod to that... Except on his death bed. The last time he saw one of his imagineers he said goodbye, which he thought was weird... And within a month Walt had passed. So, if something were truly "dying" at a park it would say goodbye, right?
Maybe?
All we can do is wait and see.

Also, in case you all don't already know, paint the magic is definitely not coming from Cali. The floats are too big to travel. She said "leaving us without a night time parade for a few months or even up to a few years until they can come up with something else."

Ah the Walt mythology is fascinating isn't it?

Well, well, well...
A glimmer of hope exists - yea!

OL was one of our fav things, hard to believe it was 'free'. No,scratch that comment, somebody may be listening and decide to make it part of a special paid event. Did spring for the dessert party there last year, a nice comfy seat to soak it all up once more.

Pretty sure I'm in the minority for not being huge fan of repeat parade viewings other than MNSSHP. Nice to see them for those who do, especially since walk on attractions seem to move quicker during them.

Believe there's a lawsuit filed by WDW employees who work the parades. Looking for to slight increase in their hourly pay for those who, although aren't featured performers, may be 'dancing' a bit. Hoping it wouldn't factor in the potential lack of night time parades as yet another cost-cutting measure
