POOL TIME (Beth IS 21 btw) and Cape May Café.

A new day and off to rope drop at Hollywood Studios. I had fastpass(es)PLUS (hallelujaaahhh)... but couldn't get Toy Story Mania... so we were up and packing our giant Happyhaunt selves into our tiny clown car to get to the park before it opened.

WAIT!

An aside: Mellyman always gets a car that is WAY WAY too tiny for all of us. It's because he is fat. Hehheh. No. Actually it's because he is cheap. This time tho it was sooooo small that the kidz couldn't buckle their seatbelts without all shifting to the side in unison and taking turns. They were very verrry crabby. Full on crabs. NOJustinBieber.

Also, Calvin said he could lick his knees.

And... Tommy's.

Yes. That tight a fit. Spanx. ish.



That being sad. I was quite comfortable.

WE RAN. PUSHED. AND SHOVED TO GET TO TOY STORY. First. (mostly small children, the elderly and women in platform wedge shoes)

Got a few pictures of the line. They suck. Nothing else.
Sorry.

Ummmm Mellyman likes Turkey Legs.

A lot lot.



Cheers, Mel

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Mmmmmmmeeeeeelllllllll!!!!

OMG

I found you! In my own version of the clown car

BTW. Mr YAK is the car rental total opposite. On our recent get away we had a 8 seat huge black bus thing. I had to climb up to get in. He may have to teach Melly a thing or two about the rental game.

Anyway. LOVE the pictorial TR.

LOVE the pic's of your sweet family too!

And that Melly was sporting a turkey leg T!

The dollar must have gotten better....heh-heh

Can't wait to see if now legal Beth tried any of my favs at Epicot.

And that Stawberry Short Cake at the hoopty looked like all that and a huge bag of strawberries!!

Keep it comin' and I'll send out the bat signal!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Helloooo my dear YAK!!!

Glad you found Me(l)!!!

Thanks btw...so...so... SO MUCH FOR THIS: "Mr YAK is the car rental blah blah blah yada blah..."


Have you never heard the phrase "Too Soon"???????????


I may or may not have to put you on ignore.

As foolhardy as that may be. Being my only responder here.


Hehhehehehh.


Glad to see ya!


Cheers, Mel.

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Now then... we did many many many rides after Toy Story Mania. ok. no. Not many many but we kept movin'. We did Star Tours twice in a row. Tower of Terror. Rockin' Rollercoaster. And took a lot lot lot of pictures with Memory Maker and my camera.

To the point where I think Mellyman gave me the finger in one of the photos. Actually pretty sure about that.

I won't post that one here.

That's for The General. She likes when Mellyman gets all like that to Me(l).


We headed for lunch. Everyone was tired, hot, hangry and I think we all pretty much needed to eat ASAP. Unfortunately... tho we were 15 minutes early for our ADR...no dice. On gettin' a table but had to wait about 45 mins at least.

When 5 people weighing approximately 1000 lbs are hangry...

Well.

You'll see...

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Some more food.

We're all about that.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

More to come tomorrow.


Ummmmm


Yak


Heheh

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

I'm not on ignore. Yay!

Or am I??

See Mel, you are loved cuz who else would I get up at the crack of butt for to check for more of this wonderful PTR!

Love the "I'm hungry" death stare - Lol! I'm sure no one had to stand in the corner for not cleaning their plates.

Hoping you "borrowed" that chair that Beth was sitting on. She was owning it! I could just see you stuffing it in that oversized back pack you allegedly carry around the parks.

Glad you didn't post any TofT photo's. Thanks! I couldn't re-live that nastiness even through the beloved Mel's. ((((Shudder))))

More, please

 

[AshClan]

Found ya! I will mention this TR (of sorts) on the other TR. Did you know that MASTER GRACIE stopped by over there?! Yep, and he's evidently bald(ing) now. Just like ZZUB.

Love all of these pictures, Mel. Thanks so much for helping us to get to know your family! And for even posting the ones that aren't exactly glamour shots! You are a braver woman than I. But I already knew that.

HOOP DE DOO! I haven't been there in eons.

We are heading back in a little over a week. With the whole Ashclan and girlfriends. Should be interesting..... Speaking of which, where was Beth's man? Didn't he come with you? (I'm assuming not, since he's not in any of the pictures.)

Can't wait to see the rest of your family Pho-toes. Hugs!

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Ash said. Pho-toes

Deed.

Ya, were did you put Alex?

Did he stay home in hopes the Maple Laffs might have won a game?

Or is he camera shy?

Or in the backpack with the chair

I feel a little MelMaryPoppins vibe here. I could see that....

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

ASH MY POOH!!!!!

Hey my friend!!! OMG I gotta chat with you soon. Just getting back to reality and dealing with a lil bite of Post Disney Depresh.

Ugggghhh.


You can relate I'm thinkings.

Glad to see you and thanks for your kind words.

I'm just doin' this with our regular pics. I think they tell a better trippie than glamour pics.

But... just for you.... I'm gonna look for some glamour shots.






errrr


ummmm



I don't think we have a one. Of. those.


heh


Soooooo.


The Ugly Happyhaunts Ugly Trippie it IS!!!!!!


Also... can you put Yak on ignore too????


Cheers, Mel.


P.S. Heh heh

Ppppp.SSSS. Alex did not come along. But YAK [Who is ded to Me(l)] is right. He IS camera shy. But he stayed back to take care of our beloved Slinddog and was starting a new job in Toronto at the same time.

What I'm saying here is this:


Thank God we didn't weigh 1250 lbs as a group this trip!!!!


edit: Y
A

K

is actually NOT on ignore. Yet.

 

[Master Gracie]

Well...well...well...

Look who's here...

See, some people think I just disappeared off the face of the earth. No note...no goodbye...nothing. But we know that's not the case now don't we Mel? We know that a certain happy haunt, let's say the one between number 999 and 1,001, is the one to blame.

I was simply minding my own business, living the life of a pool boy and, next thing I know, I'm being asked to clean the scum guard in the pool. Didn't tell me Zzub had been there did ya? Didn't tell me that there was a overabundance of back hair in that filter did ya?

Years...years I spent trying to get that thing clean. I still have nightmares.

So, whatcha been doin'? I get the feeling that there might be a few health concerns pestering you or yours. Hope I'm wrong there. Had more than our share of that ourselves, but I won't bore everyone with that here.

On a happier note, finally, on the second attempt, we finished our adoption. We are the proud parents of a little girl. She just turned two. We got to travel to St. Vincent to pick her up on Thanksgiving 2014. She's doing very well...has me wrapped, of course. And very, very, oh so very, stubborn.

We've decided that it's time to indoctrinate her. We've got a fall trip to the World planned. Maybe I might put quill to parchment (or some appropriately non 18th century analogy) and churn out another report. Gotta be better than the last one...or any of yours.

Oh relax, people. I kid...it's what I do. Mel knows. Or doesn't. After all, she can't grasp how to properly punctuate, or even form, a coherent sentence for that matter.

I do like this non trip report trip report you're doing here. Keep it up. As in the absence of writing...keep that up.

MG


*sigh* Seriously, though, it's good to see y'all again.

Oh, and Ash is semi correct. I've cut my hair WAY back. Shaved my head for a while, til Jen got tired of it. But I want this understood, here....unlike Zzub...mine baldness was completely voluntary. Completely.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Ok. Soooo we went back to our Villa at Wilderness Lodge after our day at Disney Hollywood Studios. We had pool time and Calvin napped as usual and he and Tommy did homework too. Mellyman is a bit of napper himself.

It's because he's fat.


ohhhh


And... also old.


Hehheh

alrighty

So... then we all squeezed into the clown car to ride to The Animal Kingdom Lodge. For dinner.


and guess what pics I got of all that????


Well a few but only TWO can post. REALLY?????? I have been trying and trying to post more but they keep saying that the file is too big????? I have sooo many more but WTFRICK????

I don't get it.

Anywho... NOFrick. For the record.


What I'm sayin' here is this: I got TWO pics which I will post of our dinner.

Thanks to the good Lord that it's the BESTBESTBEST thing we ate of ALL. At Disney. I even got the recipe from the pastry chef at Boma. (who was pretty hot btw) NOMellyman. I just got to figure how to cut down a recipe which includes 75 EGGS. Into a regular family sized dessert.


Shouldn't be an issue. I own a calculator. My dad's. It spits out a roll of paper. Way way way too cool.

So here:

The magnificent dessert which we dubbed "Little Cat Poops".

And we ate like at least 40 poops. NOSlinddog.

Heh heh


Cheers, Mel

Edit: MASTER GRACIE!!!! YAY!!!! Congulations!!! (new word! tfi) On your daughter!!!! OHHHH adopted girl children ROCK!!! The BEST!!! (Ask The General heheh)



ASIDE: Mellyman had too much to drink at dinner and so we relegated him to the backseat with Calvin and Tommy for the ride home.

All good. Even tho there was some crying and pirate words uttered.

They swore. I cried laffing. Cause it was like squeezing a used airbed back in the box. Or repacking a tent or returning panties from Victoria's Secret.

No comment. There.

What I am saying here is: IMPOSSIBLE. Almost. AND...

He felt the pain and promised no more too small cars for the Happyhaunts evah again EVAH!!!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Now then.

The next day we spent the whole day at Bizzard Beoch! And I didn't bring the camera.

You're welcome.

Also we had also been on Saturday the 23rd for the day at Typhoon Lagoon.

No. Camera.

But...also...no panic attacks either.

Welcome again.

After that we came back and ate at Whispering Canyon Café. Where again. We ate. A lot lot lot. And then headed out to Bay Lake Towers Top of The World Lounge ( for the Wishes fireworks experience).

Calvin decided to carry his sister.

There's this thingie about Calvin: He likes to carry things. Big things. And also people. Usually we don't want to go where he carries us. And the dog. Too. But this night was an exception. We all wanted to go to the boat dock. Including Beth.

(idk Mellyman wouldn't smile for the pic but he did in the second one but it wouldn't load)

Cheers, Mel
