Stuck on Splash, Swimming in Sewage, & Still Laughing! A "Classy" 6/11 TR- 5/6 DONE!

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

Great update!! I'm glad you said something to the group of teens..grr! Did you eat at The Plaza??!!!

 

[therussells08]

YAY MAGIC KINGDOM! LOL @ the random kid in the back of the picture. I'm guessing she had not noticed because then I'm sure you would've heard some whispering back there But who cares, you're in Disney! People should understand the weird excitement people have down there

SPACE MOUNTAIN! I need to watch another one of the ride-throughs on YouTube to suffice for the fact I won't be riding that one for awhile. At least I will be riding the other one in DLR LOL @ your Stacey outburst or maybe a will be better. People in your compartment just don't understand how truly awesome Stacey is

Finally, the Magic Kingdom! The song from Stacey's must-do video is called Celebrate You by Corbin Bleu. I have it on my iPod, LOVE that song, though I think the original version is better, though Bleu's is a bit more modernized... nevermind. The lyrics go like this:

It's the time of your life!
You don't want to miss out
On Right here and now
There's so many reasons why
You don't wanna stop
It's your chance live it up!
And everything you do
Celebrate You!

There is more to it, but a lot of it is very repetitive. If you look up Celebrate You by Corbin Bleu on YouTube, you can watch the music video and hear the whole song.

Awwww... you walked past the new Mickey M&G darn! You do know now that they haven't put the talking Mickey in place there yet? Only for certain shows not M&Gs, that's in DLR, so you shouldn't have been too worried, but it's okay, I think that M&G doesn't get big crowds, so you probably could go meet with the princesses and Mickey on a future trip

I really should make note of your past trip strategy, when I go back to WDW or if the same philosophies apply in DLR then there, but for me to rush off to get FPs at a certain ride since I'm the one who's always held back and can easily get them. It would work out fairly well for me and the rest of my group. Now, where's my notebook to remind me of this? lol

Oh, I love the new queue for HM! It looks so cool! Seems like something to definitely try at least once. If only I had gone to WDW a month later than that was planned when I was last there and I would've been able to experience first hand Darn Magic Music Days!

I can't stand those type of kids! I'm 15 years old (a teenager), myself of course and I don't act this way, but when I went on my first trip, we ran into a similar situation. Good thing we handled it well and got away, they are just so much trouble. I'm happy to see you used your super teacher powers for the good and stopped the evil teenager villains before it got worse, saving other park guests from the "agony" you had to go through not being able to enjoy your ride

Can't wait to read about if you got ADRs at the Plaza!

You're right, Disney is pretty much the only place where it's "normal" to be super excited about parking lot transportation! But then again, it's also the only place where we all take pictures of our food!

AHHH thank you so much for telling me the song! I was so confused by it!

That's good to know about the Mickey M&G! Hopefully next time I won't chicken out!

Yay! I'm glad our strategies are helpful!

I'm sorry you missed the new HM queue! That's how I felt when they were renovating Space Mountain awhile back!

You were definitely one of the teens I had in mind when I mentioned the intelligent and wonderful ones! I wish they were all like you and my other DIS teen friends!

Great update! The new queue for HM looks like a lot of fun. Good for you in saying something to the rowdy kids.

Looking forward to seeing where you ended up eating.

Thanks! The queue is great, but like Jen said, a little germy! Thanks! I couldn't resist switching into teacher mode!

Yay an update! Lol that girl sure does not look happy in your pic on the tram.

You should have recorded your Stacey voice so we could all have heard it - can't wait to watch her in Disney World!

I'm looking forward to Mickey's new meet and greet area - having never seen the old place don't think it will make much difference to me.

I love your excited face! Think I'm going to be using your Fastpass strategy as I also have short legs.

Yay you got to see the changes that were made to HM. The way them teenagers behaved is awful - I know people are likely to be excited but to use offensive language when children are nearby - totally not acceptable. I'm happy that you used your teaching skills to get them to understand

Hope you managed to get in at Plaza!

Haha, I should have recorded my Stacey voice! Although, I think I am a bit more southern than her!

The FP strategy is great for those of us with short legs! It conserves energy!

I can't believe how close your trip is! I hope that you have a wonderful time! I can't wait for the TR!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Too many people, young and old, are too scared (or too politically correct) to take a stand when they see someone doing something they should not be doing. I imagine if these kids' parents had done what you did a few more times in their past that they might not have been so rude and disrespectful. Kids will be kids but there is absolutely no excuse for that kind of behavior. I salute you for your courage, fortitude and consideration of the younger children around you to take a stand where it was obviously needed!

Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now. Love your TR. Please keep it coming.

Thank you so much for saying that! I can't stand to see other people getting upset by someone's actions and I just couldn't resist switching into "teacher mode"!

I'm so glad you are enjoying my TR! Thanks for reading!

It was a great way to get me excited!

YAY John! Haha I am so proud. The deer face is so fun. He is precious and a half.

Eh, it's okay! You were excited! I totally understand.

Aw thank you! I want her job soo bad!

Haha well thanks anyway! We had an amazing time! I'm sure you know by now that Jess came down and surprised me, and Vickie was there too. The frumps were back together!

Okay...now onto the update! YAY!

Maybe that little girl is just tired and hasn't fully woken up yet. Or maybe she just doesn't appreciate the tram like you and John do.
Pity...

Okay, you're teeth are like REALLY white.

I would have clapped if I was in your monorail compartment. Great pic!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ohhh that song is PRICE.LESS. I am so proud of your bravery. That's awesome. From now on I'm gonna sing it like that, because I have no clue what all the words are etiher. That's great.

I love that new meet and greet! It's so cute! Mickey doesn't talk though, so no worries.

Those FP's are for two very different times...

I love the new HM queue! It's so fun! And one of my faves too. It's such a classic.

Hehe that's a shout out to me I think! I cannot believe they did that. I'm sorry but I hate when teenagers do that kind of stuff, ESPECIALLY in Disney. I would feel so bad for all the families that had to put up with it. Ugh. How rude!

You go girl! You tell them how it is!

Oooh I hope you got to eat at the Plaza! I want to try that place so bad! I've heard great things.

I think you're right, that kid just did not understand the joy that is the tram to MK!

Aww, thank you so much for saying that! I am kind of obsessive compulsive about oral hygiene. I carry a toothbrush in my purse so I can brush after every meal. I'm weird.

Hahaha, I'm glad you enjoyed my rendition of the song! I feel like "a hot sauce feeling" is not part of the original lyrics, but oh well!

I went back and fixed the FP pic confusion! I totally forgot that someone gave us those FPs! I'm a nerd! That's what I get for not taking good trip notes!

That was most definitely a shout out to you! Also to Jess and Timmy and other awesome teens here on the DIS! You guys are the best!

Aw I love the first moments of going into MK for the first time of the trip! They really are so magical, and truly the best

I'm SO glad you gave that group of teenagers a talking to. We need more people in the world like you to set more teenagers straight That is just not right for them to ruin everyone elses ride experience because they feel like they need to be loud and obnoxious

I hope you got into the Plaza! I love reading about people's experiences there as it's not a really popular restaurant so I never get to hear about it.

You're right, MK at the beginning of the trip is amazing!

Thank you so much for saying that! I hated to embarass them, but I felt like something had to be said to them!

I will be updating with our restaurant choice very soon! Stay tuned!

Love that your first park is MK. Thank you for for saying something to the teenagers for their behavior. I am the parent of a teenager and am always concerned when she goes out with her friends that she will get "sucked in" and end up acting like one of "those kids". My husband and daughter very often move faster than I do while in the parks, but it's usually because I want to stop and take pictures. In the seven trios we have made as a family, I have probably taken approximately 11,000 pictures.

MK as the first park is so great!

I love when it works out like that! THank you for saying that; I was glad to tell them to straighten up! I had some sorta-friends when I was a teen that acted like that, but I tried to avoid them!

I am the same way with taking pictures! I shudder to think how many I've taken in our past trips!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled TR to bring you breaking news...

I'm going to Disney World again in December!



I just booked the trip today! We will be going from December 28-January 3 and staying at Wilderness Lodge!

I added a new ticker, and as of right now we are 108 days away! I can't believe I get to go back! If you count the day we were there in January, that means I will have been able to go to Disney three times this year!

I have already made our ADRs but I am going to wait to post those. Rather than doing a full on PTR I am just going to interrupt this TR with some random updates if that's alright will you guys. I don't feel like I can take on another PTR since I still have two TRs in the works!

I will be back soon with more updates! YIPPEEEEE!

YAY!!!!!
Sooooo exciting!!! And I LOVE Wilderness Lodge!!!

Interrupts are good because we'll only have one place to look to read up on all your fun!

Clearly!

HAHA that is totally understandable. I'm like that with Listerine. I LOVE it. I use it allll the time. I'm obsessed.

It probably isn't, but I still love it!

I was just gonna ask if the FP machine had a glitch or something.

Aw thanks! We love all you English teachers too!

P.S. YAYYYYY for a Disney Christmas trip!!!! OMG that's SOOOOOO exciting!!!!!! And at WL!?!?!? That's definitely a dream of mine! WL at Christmastime seems like the place to be; it's all woodsy and cozy and all. Ahh...one day.​

 

[RachelNinja]

I'm so excited to watch Stacey next May so I'll actually understand all the crazy one-liners everyone's always quoting!!! I know that it's available on YouTube or at least some of it is, but I don't think it'll be the same as watching it at on Disney property.

Oo thanks for sharing the info about the two different queues for HM. I'd definitely like the see the interactive one only if the lines are short for both. I wouldn't want to be waiting in that one and thinking, "We'd be on the ride already if we chose the other line!"

Ahhh, I totally LOVED reading about your confrontation with those obnoxious teens! It must have been annoying for everyone, but I always feel that bad behavior annoys teachers even more, and we just have that urge to correct. I haven't actually confronted anyone verbally, but I have raised my eyebrows at kids in public before, and they turn away embarrassed, hehe. I am surprised that CMs didn't stop them and kick them out of the park though.

 

[Nermel9]

Don't worry, texting is up and running again! By the way, you were the first to find out my news!

Yay for your new trip!!!! I seriously want to go again in December! We'll see how persuasive I can be when we are there in a few weeks!

 

[JessicaFaye508]

Welcome Back!!! Kristen texted me today while I was out and told me you updated.... and I've been so excited to read it all day! So let's get started!
I like your tram picture... you guys are precious!
Hahaha YES pullin' out stacey quotes.. that's the way to go
"a hot sauce feelin'" HAHAHAHA i love it. so funnyy I can't understand those words either.
Awww I'm so glad a couple gave you fastpasses! That's so nice Don't you love when that happens!?
WOOHOO GO JONI! You are AWESOME for yelling at those teenagers!!! I am so proud that you said something, because that's COMPLETELY unacceptable... especially at Disney!!

Can't wait for the next update!!

And PS YAYYYY FOR A NEW DISNEY TRIP!! And yes we're going to be there at THE SAME TIME! Maybe we'll run into eachother! You'll have to let me know where you're going to be on what day

 

[bna16]

That's awesome! I live very close to Winston Salem. I'm from a small town called East Bend.

I'm late, but I'm joining in! I'm only on your second post, but noticed in that one that you drive the exact same way that we do...so I figured that you were from the same area, then I saw where u are from. I'm from a small town too (yadkinville), that everyone laughs at because it sounds so country lol. glad to know I'm not the only one in the winston area that is a huge disney lover! I can't wait to read the rest of your report!

 

[ChildAtHeart82]

Yay for another trip!

 

[mickeyfan71]

The first walk on Mainstreet on a trip puts me on !
Sorry to hear about the teens but good job on telling them about it!
YAY!! Another trip is exciting!!
As of today I am at 24 days and counting!!!

 

[Aussiesalad]

Eeek I am a bit late but I am joining the party!
Loving your trip so far! Your last update cracked me up. I like your theory on tram girl that involved secondhand embarrassment! Although if she is embarrassed about other people taking cheesy photos of themselves then maybe Disney is not for her lol
Hahahaha best lyrics! Whatever the real ones are, they can't beat that!
Good for you with those rowdy teenagers! It's so annoying when people act like that, come on people IT'S DISNEY!
Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip

 

[stephielela]

Yay for another trip!!! Wilderness Lodge with all the holiday decorations will be AMAZING!!!

 

[TanzUnited99]

on having another trip in the works!!! How exciting!!!

Hope after the last Christmas trip you are more prepared this time around for what to expect and yay at staying at WL! Can't wait to see the pics of it all decorated for Christmas. You guys are going to have an AWESOME time

 

[MaggieBailey]

I so love your trip report!! Can't wait to read more!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Yay for another trip this year!

I love the look on your face when you get to MK I hope you guys managed to get into the Plaza I've heard good things about that restaurant.

 

[therussells08]

YAY!!!!!
Sooooo exciting!!! And I LOVE Wilderness Lodge!!!

Interrupts are good because we'll only have one place to look to read up on all your fun!

Thank you! I'm so excited to stay at Wilderness Lodge! I love trying out new resorts!

That's true, interrupting this TR will make it more convenient than having a full blown PTR!

Clearly!

HAHA that is totally understandable. I'm like that with Listerine. I LOVE it. I use it allll the time. I'm obsessed.

It probably isn't, but I still love it!

I was just gonna ask if the FP machine had a glitch or something.

Aw thanks! We love all you English teachers too!

P.S. YAYYYYY for a Disney Christmas trip!!!! OMG that's SOOOOOO exciting!!!!!! And at WL!?!?!? That's definitely a dream of mine! WL at Christmastime seems like the place to be; it's all woodsy and cozy and all. Ahh...one day.​

Do you use the regular Listerine or the wimpy Listerine? I can't handle the regular! It burns my mouth up!

Haha, I totally forgot about the people give John FPs. I was the same as you when I saw that picture. I was like, "Hold on a minute"...

Thank you! I am SO thrilled! Last Christmas when we went we wanted to stay at WL but it didn't work out. We ate at Artist Point one night and I remember wishing so badly I was staying there!

I'm so excited to watch Stacey next May so I'll actually understand all the crazy one-liners everyone's always quoting!!! I know that it's available on YouTube or at least some of it is, but I don't think it'll be the same as watching it at on Disney property.

I am surprised that CMs didn't stop them and kick them out of the park though.

You're right, Stacey is so much better in person! Trust me, she will become the thing you associate with your first moments in your Disney resort. Everytime I see her I know I'm about to have a really amazing trip!

Yeah I think that if you go through the interactive queue once that would probably be enough. It is cool, but it takes A LOT longer than the regular line. One time was enough for me!

Oh my gosh, you hit the nail on the head with the "urge to correct"! That is so completely true. I just couldn't resist! I think they could tell I was a teacher because I was just so authorative. Looking back, I'm lucky they didnt cuss me out because I was shorter than all of them!

Yay for your new trip!!!! I seriously want to go again in December! We'll see how persuasive I can be when we are there in a few weeks!

Thank you! I am so excited! I hope you get to go again in December! Make sure you wait and ask when Brandon is doing something really really fun!

What weekend in December are you looking at going?

 

[Nermel9]

Thank you! I am so excited! I hope you get to go again in December! Make sure you wait and ask when Brandon is doing something really really fun!

What weekend in December are you looking at going?

LOL...I told him a few days ago that I wanted to go in May for our anniversary, to which I got his normal "no way are we going back again" speech! So I said we could wait and talk about it when we are in Disney, because he's always more agreeable to our next trip while we're there!

Originally I was looking at the 2nd weekend in December, BUT...I would really, really love to go for New Year's Eve...it all depends on what days he gets off for New Year's though, that' the problem. He says he only gets one day, for New Year's day, but I could swear he gets 2 days, one for New Year's Eve and one for New Year's Day...so we'll see...it probably won't happen, but I'm going to BEG!

Thanks! Awww that makes me feel so good that you were excited about my update! I'm glad you are enjoying my TR as much as I enjoy all of yours!

Thank you! I am terrible at the one armed pictures but I can't resist taking them all the time!

Sometimes you just can't contain the Stacey quotes! The just come out!

Hahaha that is the best I can do with those lyrics! That's what it always sounds like to me!

It was so cool when we got those FPs! That had never happened to us before so I was thrilled!

Thank you! I felt bad embarassing them but I just couldn't let them get away with acting like that!

That is so cool that we will be there at the same time! Hopefully we will run into each other! I love DISmeet photo ops! I am going to post my daily plans in just a few days as soon as I work out all of the kinks so maybe we can coordinate something!

I'm late, but I'm joining in! I'm only on your second post, but noticed in that one that you drive the exact same way that we do...so I figured that you were from the same area, then I saw where u are from.

I can't wait to read the rest of your report!

You're not late at all! You're right on time! That is AMAZING that you are from Yadkinville! That is like ten minutes from East Bend! I think you are the closest DISer to me that I've ever met!

Yay for another trip!

Thanks! I'm so excited!

The first walk on Mainstreet on a trip puts me on !
Sorry to hear about the teens but good job on telling them about it!
YAY!! Another trip is exciting!!
As of today I am at 24 days and counting!!!

Me too! It gets me everytime!

Thanks! I couldn't resist telling them off!

I am so excited! Only 107 days now!

That is SO awesome! Your trip is barely three weeks away! Plus you're going at such at great time of year! Congrats!

Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip

You're not late; you're right on time!

I'm so glad that you are enjoying my TR! You're right, Disney really isn't the place to avoid cheesy photos!

Thanks! I think I do like my new lyrics better! Disney should hire me to write songs!

Thanks! I couldn't resist putting them in their place!

Yay for another trip!!! Wilderness Lodge with all the holiday decorations will be AMAZING!!!

Thank you! I am so excited! I can't wait to be at WL at Christmas! Last year when we ate at AP we were blown away by the Christmas tree! It's HUGE!

on having another trip in the works!!! How exciting!!!

Hope after the last Christmas trip you are more prepared this time around for what to expect and yay at staying at WL! Can't wait to see the pics of it all decorated for Christmas. You guys are going to have an AWESOME time

Thank you! We are thrilled!

I will definitely be more prepared with warmer clothes, just in case!

I can't believe you are leaving for Disney TOMORROW! You probably won't see this before you go but I hope you have a blast! I can't wait for your TR!

I so love your trip report!! Can't wait to read more!

Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it!

Yay for another trip this year!

I love the look on your face when you get to MK I hope you guys managed to get into the Plaza I've heard good things about that restaurant.

Thanks! I am so excited!

Haha that's pretty much the look on my face anywhere in Disney!
