~ The Man Report ~~~~~~~~~ Bonus Material Included ~~~~~~

[IBelieve207]

you caught me! You guys should take this on the road, you would sell out nightly! I made the dog bark, I was laughing so hard!

I was happy to hear that Moan Boy didn't "Bug" and the flight went smoothly other than this:

I was sort of leaning towards Loud Girl’s middle seat watching her DVD player with her when I started to smell something nasty. Apparently, my little girl had gas. I was worried about the young lady sitting next to her at the window seat smelling it and thinking it was me. I started to adjust the air above our heads to help direct the stench my way when Loud Girl, with headphones on, yells; “Ooooh, yucky. Daddy Farted!”.

Everyone blames the dog at our place

We stayed in their three bedroom condo off 192 for a week once back in 2004 prior to moving onto WDW and the place was dreadful. One night late, some criminal showed up banging on our door looking for Vladimir. We barred the doors with the table and chairs and told him we were calling the cops. Eventually, he left. What do you expect for $99/night for a 3-bedroom?

I think I still would have called the cops in case he decided to come back.

…only to be awakened by the rowdy college crowd coming home from the bars. They were hootin’ and a hollerin’ and throwing beer cans around. Twenty years ago, I woulda joined them. Heck, 7 years ago, I woulda joined them. Heck, if the family wasn’t with me, I woulda joined ‘em!

Creeps up on ya fast

I hope that didn't go on every night!!

Looking forward to the next installment

Loving your trip report - still chucking over your plane ride! Thanks for writing it and looking forward to more!

 

[jluvsdis]

I enjoyed your first trip report and I'm enjoying this one as well.

I just wanted to say that between the wine and the blood I'm really glad you were in the RED carpet room.

I look forward to reading more.

Thanks for all the laughs,

Jill

There’s nothing like some good old potty humor to get your morning off to a good start. It’s rainy and gloomy here in California this morning and a good old stifled belly laugh is just what the doctor ordered.

Thanks, keep up the great work

Finally got all caught up. I just started a new job, so I haven't had a chance to check. Sorry to hear about poor moan boy at the airport. Linnie, you really are woman having that cleaner on you at the airport! Loved the potty humor and can feel the awkwardness of the situation! Glad to hear that the room was safe and adequet (sp) enough. Can't wait to read more.

Loud Girl pix out a red car. Even her tastes are loud!

The building where are room was located. Our room was on the ground floor.

The master bedroom.

Kids room.

Kitchen.

Living room and back porch. The back porch had a door to the pool area.

The 30 year old hair dryer LOL

 

[Halloweenqueen]

I'm lovin it!!!

These trip reports have me giddy for our first trip!

I love the idea of the countdown board. I already have a rewards/spending money chart, complete with money bags for pixie dust! Now I need to run to Target!!!

 

[pixie dust 112]

I love that hairdryer!!

I'm sure my wife would like to hear more about this.

That Hair dryer actually worked REALLY good according to Pooh. Lacking in the "hair" department, I didn't get a chance to use it

I just wanted to say that between the wine and the blood I'm really glad you were in the RED carpet room.

That's a good one!

Poor puppy

I think staying in a bunch of really cheap motels as a kid have forced my tastes a bit higher. Unless we're really in a pinch or don't have any other options, the Hampton Inn/Fairfield Inn/Hilton Garden Inn is the minimum level that I'll stay at. Stale smoke smells, dirty floors, etc. really irritate me.

And now since we've stayed at our first DVC resort (VWL), we're really in trouble.

Great report so far... we blame farting on mom, too. Most of the time she claims them, too.

 

[Goofster57]

Looks like it was a pretty nice place, appears to be a lot of room to move around.

Thanks for the installment, looking forward to more

I'm enjoying your report. There are so many good ones to read, and so little time. Good thing I'm a speed reader.

The Vistana Resort is fairly old, at least the original buildings are. I'm a timeshare junky so I know quite a bit about most of the Orlando timeshares, and for that matter, most timeshares in the U.S.! If you were in the "Courts" section, they're the oldest, and usually get the most complaints. Then there are the Spas, Fountains, Lakes, etc. etc. that are newer sections. On the whole I believe it's a pretty decent resort.

We were in the "Springs". I saw the Courts though How depressing!

There WAS a lot of room to move around and the beds were also great. It was just a tad on the run down side.

And now since we've stayed at our first DVC resort (VWL), we're really in trouble

IMHO, nothing in the WORLD beats a 2-bedroom DVC except maybe a 3-Bedroom DVC

Just waiting for the next installment.....

Coming this evening after Pooh-head posts her remarks. Dang, she's slow ain't she?

 

[Linnie The Pooh]

I’ll admit I am one of the most unobservant people on the planet.

First of all, I had no idea the couple behind me on the plane was fighting. I would’ve listened up had I known it. The lady sitting next to me started crying when we landed. Buzz said he was worried about her. I had no idea and I’m right next to her.

I’m sure she had her reasons for crying. It’s hard to say what causes the waterworks. My dad used to love hot air balloons and every year our city holds a hot air balloon convention and at the crack of dawn, the balloons fly right over my parents’ house. Dad would run out there, stand on his deck and take pictures like crazy. Then later, he’d call me all excited, and tell me all about the types of balloons he saw. He loved those balloons.

Every time I first get on Soarin’ and see the hot air balloons, I choke up and can’t talk for a bit. If people saw me, getting emotional over balloons, they would think I was crazy. I guess that for whatever reasons, people just break down. I never talked to the lady next to me. I just sat and stared straight ahead or looked out the window. Being the shy person I am....

Now here’s something weird. Until I read Buzz’s post about the lady ringing our bell and Trey parading through our hotel room buck naked, I had no idea that happened. I never left the hotel room without my troops so I don’t know where I could’ve been to miss that! I must've been there. We’d just gotten done swimming so perhaps I had that 40 year old hair dryer cranked up. Hard to hear with the whoosh of luke warm air in my ear.

I also had the thought that since the Camsun incident with the guy looking for Vlad at midnight, that anytime the doorbell rings in our hotels, I beat it to the back room. Heck with the family, they’re on their own, I’m saving myself. Maybe I ran to the bedroom when she rang the bell. Funny, I don’t remember any of it though.

One thing I really liked about our room was it had 2 blankets for the bed and they weren't those spongy hotel blankets. They were super soft! I loved them. The kids' beds had the sponge blankets on them. They don't mind them, but they give me the willies for some reason...The blankets, not the kids.

There, Buzz. I made my post. Now back to my life of pampering myself by cleaning, doing laundry and cooking...

This happened to me once on a plane, but I was the one crying, and the poor guy next to me just didn't know what to do.

I was 23 years old and was getting on a plane in Cincinnati, flying to LA where I was moving. In the week and a half before the flight I had (in this order): Gotten married, flown to Disney for my honeymoon where on the second day got a phone call that my father had passed away unexpectedly, flown back to Cincy for the funeral, stayed for a few days to help my mother (my husband flew back to California at this point) and then got on the plane in Cincinnati (the place I had lived my entire life) to fly to California (where I had only been to twice, each time for 3 days) to start my new life. As the plane started taxing down the runway, I just started crying. Not an obnoxious, bawling type cry, but a constant, tears running down my face, sniffling every few minutes type of cry. And it was like that the entire four hour flight. I guess the stress of the whole thing had finally gotten to me. I felt sorry for the guy next to me. In the beginning he offered me tissues, then asked if he could get someone to help me, then finally I think he realized I just needed to cry.

Wow-talk about stress-that's a lot to handle.

When Buzz told me about the lady next to me, I thought maybe she had just had a tragedy and for some reason when we landed, it triggered something within her. Buzz thought it was bizarre, but when I explained that sometimes grief just hits at the most unexpected times, he understood. I probably should've been more talkative to the lady, but I had an attack of the shyness.

I just found your report today, and I'm loving it! I really had a good laugh over the dady farted story! Nothing can embarass you as much as your own children! I laughed so hard about it, that my son came in to see if I was ok, he thought I was crying!

 

[puggymom]

OMG this is the funniest TR

Your title just sucked me right in, you had me at Daddy farted

Can't wait for the next installment!
