The happyhaunts go South... the endless trip report!

[ZZUB]

He's brilliant, witty and handsome.

There's no way you can know all that unless you've actually met me. Maybe you are the new receptionist we just hired. I'll go whisper "Maelstrom" to her and see what she does.

If I'm not back in 30 minutes it's b/c you are not our new receptionist and "Maelstrom" is somehow construed as sexually offensive and the partners have asked me to leave.

MMMMWWWWWAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Whew!

Stop it! Stop it! My tonsils and adenoids are now functioning, too! Geez. I'm worried... how many vestigial organs are there?! Help me...

I think I am going to check out the boardwalk hotels when we are there May 7th-13th! I need to get you a pic of us to study, since it is our 1st time you could say look honey those people are so confused I need to help them. Do you happen to know anyone who might be going to the MK on the May 10th just to get a paint brush??

No. I don't know ANYONE who might be doing THAT.

However, I MIGHT know five people who MIGHT be trying to get THREE paintbrushes that day.

 

[1stTimeDisneyer]

Well If I see 5 people with 3 paint brushes I will walk by and say Maelstrom. Hopefully they can spare one, if they see a Wife and DH without one.

Hey! Check out my new big bad avatar!!!!! I mean "bad" in like a cool, awesome way. I'm such a hipster. Thanks Coffee/Software Lady, Steph from Kansas. It's great. I feel so "fancy" on the Dis, now. Cheers, Mel.

Very welcome, glad ya like it! I think I am becoming a one woman avatar fairy...lol I just like to read these reports and if they hook me in, I usually get "an idea!" Of course, that means I HAVE to go do it or it'll bug me something fierce...

 

[javamom]

wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh. I wanna go... NOW. At best, I gotta wait months and STILL may not end up getting to go.

Oh, that is just too terrible to think about. I am going to think positively.

Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts.... I can do this...

... raindrops on ro (no too Julie Andrews)

... bubble baths

... POC

... bubble bath with a pirate (wonder how many gallons it takes to fill the crow's nest?)

... Space Mnt.

... Mission Space

... bubble bath with Gary (no that's Mel's... shucks. eh, back to the pirate)

... Maelstrom

... my DISers! My DISers!! YAY!

Listen... to reward you for my big bad avatar and to send good wishes your way I'm going to do something I RARELY ever do:

I'm sending pixie dust your way... either that or I'm setting myself on fire for you:

 

[javamom]

That'll do, Donkey, that'll do

 

[Punkin's Mom]

Darn you, Mel HappyHaunt (if that is your real name). Let me explain to you my life. I have 2 little kids. A toddler and a preschooler. They both go to school only one day, ONE DAY, a week. That was today. And what did I do with my ONE free day this week? Did I go spend money at the mall? At Target? At Ikea? Noooooooooooooo! I sat in my sad little laundry room at my sad little desk and read your trip report. Darn you for writing a witty, entertaining trip report that sucked me in. Couldn't you have just written a sad little boring report that no one read? Like I did? ONE DAY!

ps - can't wait for the next one!

 

[stitchesmom]

I just have to say - I just printed your entire report (110 pages) for my longgggggg ride to Orlando - leaving next Friday and I am so pysched to read it. Now don't get mad but we are going to be staying at the "Other Side". FOTL is a must for DH but my heart is still with the mouse. Hopefully we will go again someday if I talk some sense into the son of a gun. Your reports are the only way I can stay connected to the World.

I just finished Vettechick99's and ZZub's. You guys Rock!!!!!

Can't wait for your next report and I haven't even read the first one yet.

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

thank you. i had alot of fun from your report. [and the education was a bonus]. p.s. we have dined @ prime time many times...and never been
placed in the corner. just a suggestion...i 'll get extra insurance on the family
car. 16 years isn't that "far" away. our "calvin" managed to total the truck
we gave him and his brother's accord...in less than 6mos...and we were only
letting him drive to school [2miles]. ohhh... hide the keys to any vehicles including john deer tractors. we were having a pool party when the sheriff
called as he went downtown. [7 miles]. looking back now...the pellet gun
wasn't such a good idea. the one time i've should've listened to my wife!
finally, if you don't get your cat back, we have alot of ladybugs i would be
willing to send. why downtown? he took monopoly money and was going
to the candy store. thanks, again.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Ok, Lil' Grumpy, you've convinced me... I'm hiding the keys to our tractors.

Just one more thing:
Come again with the ladybugs thing?

Glad you enjoyed your trip with Mel. Gotta say.

 

[Ready to go in Ok]

Just subscribing, sorry!

 

[em'smom]

Thanks for your trip report. You have a talent for writing and capturing the moment. Others have said it and I will too, I feel like I know your family, I have enjoyed every moment that I sat here laughing out loud, experiencing your vacation highs and lows and picturing every hysterical moment. I wish that I was planning a trip in may that would have the added bonus of a potential happyhaunt sighting. Hopefully you will return to us after your trip with plenty of new and exciting happyhaunt stories. Thanks again for all of the laughs!

 

[2Princes2Princesses]

Just read the whole thing in one night. Loved the trip report and the multitude of references, except the Tim Hortons, because now I want coffee.

We will be there in May and will keep an eye out!! I don't know if you'll be able to miss us, we have 4 kids and I am taking my own personal General, so I will be the one with the tequila IV.

Your Calvin and my Tommy (11) could very well cause the end of the world as we know it. I always know I am in for something when he asks "mom, if you were an animal, what animal would you be?" Then the questioning inevitably turns weird.

Less than 2 months to go!!

PS-I almost fell off the chair when you mentioned Gary Sandy. I did not know anyone else ever watched that show! My sister has the episode with the Turkey Giveaway on tape.

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

i was hoping you talk again about getting your cat back. in case you didn't,
we have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 6 guinea pigs [finally figured out the girls from the
boys], one hamster, 2 lizards, 2 snails, and a tank with assorted fishes. how
ever, i was out voted that i could only offer a ladybug because we have
a house full of them.

 

[labdogs42]

Damn him! Damn that big, bossy, squealing cat whisperer of a DH that I am locked in nuptial bliss with!!!! There are quite a few of you that are going the SAME time as us. That I would love to meet. And YES... there is a code word. It's:

Maelstrom!

Then the other person says:

Maelstrom is a FASTPASS?!

That's it. That's the plan.

PERFECT!! I'll be there, also at an Epcot-area resort from May 13-19. I'll keep an eye out for all of you and I'll be ready with the secret word!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Good! I'm glad everyone is clear on the codeword. Which is:

Maelstrom!

Followed by:

Maelstrom is a FASTPASS?!

Geez... that is SO WITTY! I'm glad I thought of it. Heh, heh. And The General still has the cat. It's OK for right now because the happyhaunts are goin' NORTH this next week for March Break. Yes... North. 'Cause apparently we're insane. And hearty. It can't GET too cold for us Canadians! Do all you Americans know how to snowshoe???? There is a very specific technique to it. Let me just say.

Lil' Grumpy... I'll take ONE FEMALE guinea pig. It HAS to be female, though. So you better have that all down pat.

Later, Mel.

 

[pongoperdigirl]

No everyone needs shirts!! Cute little t-shirts that say: Maelstrom!!! Maelstrom is a FASTPASS!!

and maybe something cute on the back!
