Still Feeding Nebo: The may trip final chapter pg 122, Dec. 31

[Donald is #1]

Maritaaaaa! Help!!!

Is there more than one tour for KTTK run every morning? It seems Nebo booked for 9am on 12/14, I asked for 9am and they gave me 830...are we not going to be on the same tours? Is there any way to fix this???? I just caught this and will call them tomorrow to find out for sure~

Yes, I believe that they run 2-3 per day.

tiggerwannabe & Nebo, try to show up a little early. I think that I was 15, maybe even 20, minutes early and it was great wandering around Main St before the park opened. By the way, I really loved this tour. Even though they say that there will be a lot of walking (& there is), my guide found places for us to sit while he was doing a lot of this talking.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Waaaaaa! I wanna tour with Nebo and Smidgy!

Goin to make the phone call now...they probably sold out of room on your tour and I got bumped to earlier

Donald, do all the tours at least convene for lunch at CHH together?

 

[Donald is #1]

No, unfortunately, the meals were staggered at CHH.

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Already called, 9oclock was sold out

Thanx for the help Donald is #1~

Hey Neebs, any chance you two could move your tour back a half hour???

Your time slot is full but mine still has openings

 

[Maraena]

I'm new here but I have to post to tell you how much I loved your trip report. It was absolutely hilarious. Even my DBf, who is absolutely sick of hearing about Disney and is threatening to evoke a 2 week ban on all things Disney, was laughing at the stories as I read them. (Mind you, I did give him the Reader's Digest version. Men just don't have that sort of attention span.) We were both laughing at the wittiness and antics. He and I are typically a deadly duo when both our wits are on, which seems to occur rather frequently. (Of course, we're also deadly after a mean pot of chili but it's typically not as enjoyable. )

We're going to be in WDW Dec 14-19th. If I happen to see either of you, I'm definitely going to be saying hello. (Don't worry, I'm not a random hugger.)

Poop de doo!!! I laughed for a good 10 minutes (as opposed to bad) invisioning you two in a little golf cart with a bus bearing down on you! Are you sure it was really 6 3/4 inches away?? You men have a tendacy to exagerate!

I've noticed this too! Every single man who says he's 6'0 tall is actually two inches shorter than me. Now, I know my height. It hasn't changed in well over 15 years. I'm 5'11 3/4" tall according to every measuring tape known to man. However, every single male I've met swears that I'm actually 6'2 because they're 6'0. I won't go into any other measurements since I'm just certain you're talking about height!

Hmm, that makes me wonder if that's why men are always saying, "Measure twice, cut once." Maybe their brains automatically add on two inches.

Waaaaaaaaaaay toooooooooo funny!

Dangit! I wish I could've turned the page to 100! Did I or did I not predict 100 pages and 1000 posts for this trip report. You're welcome.

Anyway...I figured you thought you finally lost me. I haven't been DISing much lately. Hope all is well with you both.

I did flip through the pictures from CSR a few days ago and then I had a Disney nightmare. In said nightmare I was staying at a CSRish resort like in your pictures and I forgot my ADRs and park plans, couldn't find the CS restaurant, lost my keys to the world and missed Spectro!!! YES! Isn't that awful! So thanks for that.

Anyway, CSR does sound nice and who could spend $45 at a CS restaurant anyplace else? GEEZ! That's some high priced glop!

Loved the golf cart installment....Sunny D, Poop Dee Doo....good quality installment!

for you both!

I had to say something.

You know, actually, sometimes this is my favorite time!
I can be a jerk, cuz usually nobody reads the "call out" chapters anyway.
It sounds like I'm in a mood tonight, doesn't it? But no, really, I'm in a good mood. I really do like this. Now, it's my turn to pick on you!
Oh yeah, that's why I like this.

OMG - I'm glad we don't have a squished Nebo and Smidgy, my DFIL wants to do this when we go back next year...so thank you for the tip about the buses sneaking up on you!

Remember tracy, you didn't hear about the Sunny D's here. And if you're going to do the golf carts here next year with your DFIL, you might want to think about DFIB.

as in Defibrulator![

Nebo, funny story!

Chiming in with some of my facts here, that I know due to my tenure at Wilderness Lodge, which is largely managed by the same department heads and the same GM:

1) Pools - this has been on the wish list for upgrades for many years. It's a matter of priorities for overall resorts and WDW, but I think it's on the horizon. Then again, I have been gone from there for over 3 years now.

Ah, that explains it

2) Sights to see: the RIGS!!!!! A lot of those things cost many hundreds of thousand of dollars, some over a million. Maybe you could knock on some doors and as for a tour next time?
A lot of people spend months at FW. It's a whole different culture.

ok, I admit, I have no idea what RIGS are. Help me here, please

And I will have to consider the Sunny D option next time I go to WDW outside of working hours. It should be sometime in the next 10 years.......
Do you think it would work with Brandy instead of Vodka, or would that make it too dark?

Great report as always!

OMG! Is she talking about mixing orange juice with brandy?
SOMEBODY STOP HER! SHE'S GONE OVER THE EDGE!

I heard that!!!! yeah, I forgot!!! NEBO owes me a fancy drink!!!!

Ok, who told her?

Nebo, you guys make me laugh so hard! Why are poop references always so funny!

Smidgy, make sure he puts a pretty little umbrella in your drink, okay?

Ah, I think we have the previous mystery solved. Thanks whotlkedmom.

Agreed! I almost died when Smidgy had her "Sunny D" snatched out of her hands!

You almost died?!!! My whole cooler flashed in front of my eyes!!!!

We stayed here without the dining plan. OUCH!


Monica, I feel for you. Even though we love it here, Pepper Market is not for the budget minded. However!!! For all of you that haven't been there, the pool bar serves snacks, hot dogs, burgers, chicken strips and fries. And they are VERY reasonable. Only problem there is that they usually close by six. No good after a park visit. But I still say, they have the best fires, and I'm sticking with it!

Fries.

Leave me alone.



Over in our neck of the woods we call it Goolosh.

Ok, I had to look again to see where your "neck of the woods" was. MI. Hmm. Minnesota? no, Mississippi? no, you don't talk funny enough. Gotta be Michigan. Yep, that'll work. And that's the problem. It's not "glop" up there, it's called "sleet".




Remind me to keep the kids away from your cooler at a picnic.

Trust me, they'd never get past the security, or the underground hidden fence!
.

Isn't there a thread about all the hidden secrets of WDW? Why don't you let them know about this one. Could be a future idea for an attraction. You never know?

I thinkd Marita's already working on it.

Poop de doo!!! I laughed for a good 10 minutes (as opposed to bad) invisioning you two in a little golf cart with a bus bearing down on you! Are you sure it was really 6 3/4 inches away?? You men have a tendacy to exagerate!
Remind me to tell my kids to never take sunny D from a stranger!

See, now there you go again, trying to get me in trouble. Geesh! Between you and Monymony,,,,,,I was just sayin, it was so close that I could measure it, that's all. I gotta funny feeling, that your quote is going to come up again, before I'm done here.

 

[nebo]

This was my 21 yo son yesterday, dressed up as Dr Grant from Jurassic Park!

Hey, he made a great Sam Neil! Now, you wanna come and get that theme song out of my head?

Hi Nebo, remember me? I've been on a little hiatus, but I'm still here. In the mean time I sicked my DH on the boards, he's done ok for a rookie .

Anyway I heard a rumor that you will be at WDW in Dec. We will be at the ASM from the 8th to the 15th, would love to hook up somewhere. We're taking our BFF, a newbie, who's a ton of fun.

Let us know your plans and maybe we can meet.

Jill

Ah, the prodigal daughter has returned. Nice to see you again Jill. Let's see, last I remember from you, you were planning a fake trip, and then surprising your DH right before the "real" trip. And he loved it. Even though you never go back to me about how the escape went form Fantasmic! ? Remember? I wanted a body count! oh yes, I remember more and more now, Then you said you were going to Borneo, "don't worry about me", "I'll be in touch." And you never called.

But that's ok, I'm over it now. (am I sounding like an idiot, yet?)

Ahem, yes Jill, we'll be there when you are, HOWEVER, besides the fact we'd love to meet you, you said you're going to be at ASM. Ok, who wants to slap her first? Is that Movies? Or Music? We shall be residing in the ASMu section. really, nice to see you back.

Boy, I sure told her off, huh?

Yes, I believe that they run 2-3 per day.

Hi Donald, yeah, I've heard people come out totally exhausted, but I can't understand why. If it's not your first day there, you're exhausted when you arrive.

Already called, 9oclock was sold out

Thanx for the help Donald is #1~

Hey Neebs, any chance you two could move your tour back a half hour???

Your time slot is full but mine still has openings

Yes Colleen, I would never miss a chance of making a fool out of myself in front of you, so it's all fixed. Just remember, it's our last day there, and I will be shot. Gotta feeling there will be plenty of my "little friends" that will be joining me by than.So, its all fixed.

Um, you want to tell "She who must not be disturbed" that she now has to get up a half hour early?
Just sayin.

Hey, I have to live up to my reputation somehow! I'm still not sure how I got it considering how sweet and innocent I am!

ummmm. you?

It's the end of our week as well. no worries.

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

Nebo~
Big Rigs = motor homes.
It's a campground afterall!
Glad I could help.
Carry on~

nebo's idea of camping is a room with no HBO! (although we did have those few years with a boat at the chain o lakes, when I washed dishes in a bucket)


tiggerwannabe: I am keeping tabs. nebo owes me:a fancy drink with an umbrella. colleen owes me: a half hour sleep! mwaaahaahaa! be on your guard, you never know HOW I will collect on that!

Which date is this tour and, I assume, it's in Magic Kingdom? I just want to make sure I'm at another park in case Nebo decides to somehow take out the power grid.

Maybe I'll just sleep in that day and watch for flashing lights.

By the way, I actually can sympathize with you a good deal. I spent most of my childhood/teen years in and out of emergency rooms because of numerous injuries. You know it's bad when you walk into the waiting area, they pull your personal file (that actually more closely resembles a metro telephone book), and start asking your parents if you'll be needing triage today. I figure I have a few more years yet before all those broken bones really catch up to me.

Also, as a note to the parents of young children out there, be very careful making nice little costumes for your children to dress up in without telling them that the costumes really won't give them magical powers. I discovered, at age 4 1/2, that my Wonder Woman underoos, my hand sewn cape, and my homemade gold bracers do not actually enable one to fly from structures 3 stories off the ground. Thankfully I had just gotten the cast off my other arm two days prior so the doctor and I had a great relationship when he had to set the other wrist.

I do have to express interest in the difficulties you encounter with lighting changes. If I understood correctly, you had eye surgery and then this started? Mine actually disappeared after I had my eyes fixed (no, they weren't neutered) but I think the surgery took care of a lot of my astigmatism.

And you thought no one read the call outs! I couldn't let you down.

In our neck of the woods we call them shout outs. If I lived in the UP though, which I don't, some would say I talked funny. Eh?

With four kids around here that are mine, the rest belong to someone else, we sing alot. That said, Hoop De Doo is one of them. Now there's a twist to the lyrics and my two boys think its hilarious!

 

[monymony3471]

Dangit! I wish I could've turned the page to 100! Did I or did I not predict 100 pages and 1000 posts for this trip report. You're welcome.

I DO remember you typing this. We can trade places or how bout you turn the next 100?

tiggerwannabe: I am keeping tabs. nebo owes me:a fancy drink with an umbrella. colleen owes me: a half hour sleep! mwaaahaahaa! be on your guard, you never know HOW I will collect on that!

ok, How's this...

I'll help you get that fancy drink if Nebo will help you get your half hour back

My friend Rose just confirmed that she's got her keys to the kingdom tour ticket for the 14th for the gloriously early 815am (time to be there) tour!

Marita just confirmed our Ice Cream date for Thursday (the day before the tour) at 2pm!!! Looks like my crew will be doing Epcot on thursday as well...easier access to Beaches &Cream that way

The rest of our week will be spent at that other place...I can honestly say for $85 for a whole week's pass it can't be beat. esp since I'm spending $250 pp to do Disney for two days

One night of DTD will round our week out quite nicely

 

[nebo]

See? Even in my non chapters, I still get picked on.

Ok, we're not doing the "call outs" this morning, we're doing "SHOUT OUTS"

I'm new here but I have to post to tell you how much I loved your trip report. It was absolutely hilarious. Even my DBf, who is absolutely sick of hearing about Disney and is threatening to evoke a 2 week ban on all things Disney, was laughing at the stories as I read them.

UH, DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE A FREQUENT HUGGER?

WELCOME ABOARD MARAENA, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'LL FIT IN PERFECTLY HERE. BY THE WAY, OUR LAST DAY IS THE 14TH, WHERE ARE YOU STAYING?

:
Waaaaaaaaaaay toooooooooo funny!

HOW DID I KNOW YOU'D LIKE THAT LINE? SO, MONICA TURNS THE PAGE TO 100. BOY, WHERE DID THE TIME GO? IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY THAT IT WAS ON 99.

Dangit! I wish I could've turned the page to 100! Did I or did I not predict 100 pages and 1000 posts for this trip report. You're welcome.YES, YOU'RE RIGHT, AND I COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU

for you both!

THE ONLY WAY MY DREAM WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IS I WOULD HAVE SEEN I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PANTS ON.

Same here.
I had to say something.
Poop doo doo.

38 More Days Until First Trip To DISNEY!::

IT FIGURES. 99 PAGES OF INSTRUCTIONAL INFORMATION, BUT I MENTION A POOPY REFERENCE, AND THE FOLKS GO CRAZY.

Hey, I have to live up to my reputation somehow! I'm still not sure how I got it considering how sweet and innocent I am!

MY DEAR, YOU'VE WORKED HARD FOR YOUR REPUTATION, SOMETHING TO BE VERY PROUD OF.

Nebo~
Big Rigs = motor homes.
It's a campground afterall!
Glad I could help.
Carry on~

WHY THANK YOU. FOR SOME REASON MY MIND WOULD'T GET OFF OIL RIGS.
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

Which date is this tour and, I assume, it's in Magic Kingdom? I just want to make sure I'm at another park in case Nebo decides to somehow take out the power grid.

Maybe I'll just sleep in that day and watch for flashing lights.
YOU'RE LUCKY, IT'S EARLY IN THE MORNING ON THE DAY YOU ARRIVE, SO YOU PROBABLY WON'T END UP INHALING ALL THE SMOKE.

TRUST ME, I CAN RELATE. I WAS BARELY TWO YEARS OLD WHEN I LIFTED THE BAR ON THE "BABY SWINGS". MY FIRST OF MANY TRIPS TO THE DOCTOR FOR STITCHES. STITCHES WERE MY SPECIALTY, I DIDN'T GET INTO BONE BREAKAGE UNTIL I WAS ALMOST FORTY.

I do have to express interest in the difficulties you encounter with lighting changes. If I understood correctly, you had eye surgery and then this started? Mine actually disappeared after I had my eyes fixed (no, they weren't neutered) WOULDN'T THAT BE SPAYED?but I think the surgery took care of a lot of my astigmatism.

ACTUALLY, MY LIGHTING PROBLEMS ARE MOSTLY THE RESULT OF SURGERY. THEY COULJN'T MAKE MY PRESCRIPTION ANY STRONGER FOR MY CONTACTS, AND I WAS WAY BEYOUND BEING HELPED BY LASER SURGERY, SO THEY TOOK OUT MY LENSES AND PUT IN IMPLANTS. ONLY THIS WAS 8 YEARS AGO, AND THE IMPLANTS THING WAS FAIRLY NEW. IT BROUGHT ME BACK TO WITHIN 20/40, (I JUST RENEWED MY LICENSE, BARELY), BUT WITHOUT THE REAL LENSES, MY EYES TAKE FOREVER TO REFOCUS FROM NEAR TO FAR, AND LIGHT TO DARK.

And you thought no one read the call outs! I couldn't let you down.

AHH, IT'S SO FULFILLING TO KNOW THAT I'VE PERFORMED A USEFULL FUNCTION TO SOCIETY.

ok, How's this...

I'll help you get that fancy drink if Nebo will help you get your half hour back

THAT ALL SOUNDS JUST FINE TO US. AND NO, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG FOR 85 BUCKS. WE'VE BEEN BUYING THAT SAME TICKET FOR JUST 3 DAYS WHEN WE STAY THERE. NOW YOU'RE MAKING ME WISH WE WERE STAYING THERE AS WELL, I LOVE THE MUMMY RIDE.
