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

[PrincessAurora]

I vote Hoop de DO! Just because there is alchohol, it would be great if your husband or Calvin got picked to be on stage and the review, I'm sure, would be full of funny.

And this way I can live through you since I never have any intention of going.

 

[Maleficent13]

Definitely Hoop-de-Doo! You guys will love it. And more importantly, we'll love hearing about it afterwards!

 

[mommic32]

Hoop Dee,,,, Absolutely! Your gang will love it!
And of course the beer!

 

[tarheel]

I have loved your trip reports! Thanks for making me laugh. I will be going to my first Hoop De Doo on May 12th--it's my birthday! maybe you'll pick that day to try it out and I can meet you! Or maybe I'll just watch your kids being funny . Maybe I'll watch my own kids being funny. Maybe I'll drink all that "free" beer and be funny myself!

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

I can't believe I sat and read all 37 pages in one day. You are a great writer. You had me hooked. I enjoyed reading about your family and wonderful trip to WDW. Didn't do any housework today, but oh well. As far as the Hoop-Dee-Do, our family really likes it. If you have never seen it, it is a must see at least once.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Well, I guess we're Hoopin'. You said May 12? Well, funnily enough...

 

[tarheel]

Cool! It should be a good time.

 

[riopooh]

Oh - I'm going to miss this!!

May is coming up fast - I'm sure the kids are as excited about your trip as we at the Dis are!!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

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.

 

[J and R's mom]

Well, I guess we're Hoopin'. You said May 12? Well, funnily enough...

I booked a trip for 5/11-5/14 yesterday at BWV--last minute deal for DH and me. Then I jumped over to this thread again to catch up on the day's posts and this line reminded me that you are going again in May. I knew that you were but never paid attention to the actual dates until yesterday. If I remember correctly, you'll be there for mother's day weekend, right? Will you be staying at BCV again? If so, I'll be on the lookout for the happyhaunts when we're on the Boardwalk and/or Friendship boat...or Mission Space, Splash Mountain, PoC...

Have a great trip in May and I vote for Hoop-Dee-DO if for no other reason than I'd LOVE to read your dining/trip report on the whole experience.

the happyhaunts are heading South, again, May 6th to May 16th. We're staying in the Epcot resorts area. However, since my DH is a cruel and powerful Dictator... I'm not "allowed" to arrange any Dismeets of any sort. Or post pictures which identify our faces or tell our last name. Surprise! It's NOT really "happyhaunt". Or give personal details like where we live, work or grocery shop. He doesn't want to share our family vacation and his quality time with "Disney obsessed freaks". Except for me. HIS "Disney obsessed freak of a wife". Yes. He calls me that. And Disfreak. And Diswife. And Disfool. And Disjunkie. And Disgeek. It's endless. Like my trip report. But if he keeps it up much more... I'll be divorced by May and READY TO PARTY like a Disanimal! I'm just kidding. Like a Diswidow. I think. So that's the thing. But look for me. Somehow. Say hi to Mel. And the kids. And my husband... Fidel Castro. Heh, heh.

Hee..hee..hee...My DH is the SAME way. He's suspicious of us folks who hang out on these boards. He tolerates my Disney obsession but doesn't share it. DIS meets are out of the question. Heck, it was hard enough for me to drag him to the DVC Member Mixer in Dec when we were passing right by it on our way from BCV to EPCOT, but he humored me and went in for a few minutes.

I have to admit, though, I'm kind of like your husband on sharing too many personal details and posting pictures of the little ones (or us). But I like how creative you were in the pictures you posted. They showed just enough without showing too much.

Anyway, here's to hoping we cross paths (even if we don't know it). But be warned (and warn Mr. Happyhaunt), that if I hear someone screaming "CAAALLLVVVILINNNN!!!!" sometime during our trip I'm turning around and saying "HI" to the happyhaunts.

 

[frankenpooh]

Well, your DH can TRY to keep you anonymous ... however, I suspect many travelers during that 5/6-5/16 period won't be searching for hidden Mickeys, won't be pin trading ... they'll be looking for Calvin!

We'll be "at a Epcot resort" May 7-12, but don't worry, if I see a boy Koala-ing up and down the hallways I won't say a word. Mai-Tai tell you he's cute though! We should have a special code word. Something like, 'Excuse me ma'am, is Maelstrom a Fastpass? (Thank You Zzub!)did you get that Shipwreck?' or 'Where can you ride Gary?'
I too have gotten a nice little nickname from the DH, he calls me a Disney-Dummy. It's all good as long as we keep going back!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

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.

 

[ZZUB]

Maelstrom!

Then the other person says:

Maelstrom is a FASTPASS?!

There's a noticeable lack of a citation here. I wonder who first came up with this idea????

I love the picture of a bunch of rabid Disers running around Epcot area hotels whispering "Maelstrom" to unsuspecting tourists.

In fact, I may just start doing that today.

In my office.

You never know where a Diser may be lurking.

Look, there's one now!

Maelstrom!!!

(especially that last one)

Maelstrom!

That's it. That's the plan.

I'm in! I'll be the nut screaming MAELSTROM up and down the Boardwalk. Just joking (I think ).

I love the picture of a bunch of rabid Disers running around Epcot area hotels whispering "Maelstrom" to unsuspecting tourists.

Maelstrom!!!

Okay...now I'm just in pain from laughing so hard.

Post has been edited to give you the proper credit! Sorry.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Ha, ha, ha! Relax Shelby. ZZUB was grinding ME... not YOU!

My apologies, too. ZZUB is responsible for the codeword "Maelstrom!" and, also, the beauty which we call the DMVC. He's brilliant, witty and handsome. There. The mental picture that his comment about Disers running around the Boardwalk like idiots whispering "Maelstrom!" created caused me to laugh so hard I was literally SCREAMING! I think my appendix actually functioned.


OOOOOHHHH CRAP! Did it again. Sorry.

 

[bigsis1970]
