Great update, Buzz!

The chaos of the crowd surge to secure good seating was similar to what one might experience at a Who concert in the late 60’s. I took an elbow to my rib cage and a knee to the groin. I was attempting to just get us into a row… any row!

Ouch!!!

The theater was at max capacity yet inconsiderate Canadians had decided to stop in the middle of the row forcing many Americans to squeeze past them to the seats beyond. This created a mass bottle neck that reverberated all the way back to the entrance of the theater from the waiting area.

Canadians, eh. You'll certainly hear about that crack!

By the time I had found us three seats together (for four people mind you), I was limping and worried about my reproductive organs. LG had to sit on mommy’s lap as dad’s incapacitation would not allow it.

Well, you weren't planning any other kids, were you?

Bruised and battered, we took our seats in the second row, on the very end, and tried to enjoy the show. The problem with viewing the show from this angle and distance is that the 3D effect simply doesn’t work so everything is blurry and out of whack.

I can see why LtP would have issues with going back.

3 minutes later, a family of giraffe-people came and sat RIGHT in front of us.

This always seems to happen to us as well. I think we have signs on or something.

The entire show was spectacular. I can’t tell you how fun it was to watch both children reaching for the 3D effects and laughing hysterically at Donald’s antics. It was so neat to see MB “get” the humor. For me, it’s worth the price of admission.

Worth the hassles!

Its stroller chaos as everyone attempts to locate their’s, load children, then make for the next attraction. Lunch is closing in so the desperate crowd is not only frantic in their search, but hungry as well. I take a couple of direct “hits” to the shins and Achilles before ours is found, loaded, and exited safely towards Tomorrowland.

Glad we don't do that anymore.

I tried to convince my cousin to ditch taking their double stroller in favor of using the ultimate crowd disperser that you can rent.....She said no way.

Oh man! That's a big mistake. Sure, the UCD costs an arm and a leg to rent, but man can it clear a crowd!

Great update, Buzz!

Thanks. Lessa didn't like it.

Canadians, eh. You'll certainly hear about that crack!

Well, you weren't planning any other kids, were you?

Not now!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Thanks. Lessa didn't like it.

Now Buzz, I never said that! I merely pointed out the lack of the absurd. It was still a good update though.

 

[jcc0621]

Isn't it great when things happen the way the should and there is no drama

 

[camelotcats]

Our kids loved Phillharmagic too. it's on the top of the list for "to do again" in April, and I make take a trip to MK specifically for the show in OCTOBER!

Hey, did I scare you off of my ptr? And I was about to go all ballistic about the GAT-ing Ip-Dips of the World....

Official DIS Meet Dates - Any time between Oct 12 - 24, 2008.

This DIS-Meet needs a name. I'm thinking:

1. GAT-Meet 2008
2. Drunkfest Palooza
3. Ip-Dips Unite!

Of these, I like Ip-Dip's Unite!

Personally, though, I think we need something having to do with the Fry Daddy....it could be our mascot.

 

[AmyBWV99]

Buzz - where are you staying next Oct?

 

[Linnie The Pooh]

Here's some names I thought were rather good for the Dis Meet:

1. Linnie's Big Dis Meet
2. Meet Linnie Dis Meet
3. Linnie Dis Meet ='s Gud
4. Lime Green & Linnie
5. Linnie's the Queen Dis Meet

Sigh. I gotta go put away groceries. I hate that job.

PS-I had a bad day yesterday. Buzz always gripes at me and hounds me to not drive on the highway. Well Loud Girl went to Grandma's after church so I went to pick her up and drove on the highway. SMACK!! A HUGE rock hit the windshield and left a ding the size of a dime on it and it's gonna spider too, I can tell. So now I'll need a new stinking windshield. Of course I had to listen to the lunatic ramblings of Buzz and the ills of driving on the highway for the rest of the day. At least it wasn't the Hummer. Those windshields are about a thousand bucks. Thanks for letting me whine.

All I have to say is, if Buzz was so concerned about your driving on the highway, why didn't he get up off the couch and pick LA up himself??? I mean, can't he ever do anything around the house???

By the way, I like your DIS meet names!

DOH! Sorry about your windshield.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

That sucks about the windshield.

He could do stuff around the house, he just doesn't. You should've seen him yesterday. I left for church and when we got back 6 hours later, he was laying in the exact same place and position. He pretty much did NOTHING this whole weekend.

I was kind enough to buy some new Christmas cd's and I wanted him to burn them onto his hard drive so we can listen to them on our music system, but did he? Nope and for the last 2 weeks, every day I heard, "We need some more Christmas music."

3. Ip-Dips Unite!

That's the one, especially because I won't be there ...

Hey can't you all come in August instead? All the "cool" kids are meeting then

Uhm Jo ... you forgot that I am the coolest kid and I won't be there then either ...



I'll be back in a few to read your update Buzz.

 

[cc1075]

Windshield = no so gud

Check with your auto insurance - I think they are covered 100%

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

Angela, sorry about that. I'm subbed for sure now.

cc, I think you're right. Lin, stick it to the "man".

Lin, I needed a day of rest. I've had a rough 9 weeks of travel. Thanks for being nice.

Jodi, Sunday is my day of rest. I won't drive... unless it's the store for beer.

Amy, we're all set for SSR. I'll try to change it at the 7 mo window. I really like OKW but I think LtP is sick of it.

Isn't it great when things happen the way the should and there is no drama

It was still a good update though.

Apology accepted.

 

[DisneyJo]

Uhm Jo ... you forgot that I am the coolest kid and I won't be there then either ...

Ahhh but you're working on it right, waiting for that lottery win


Buzz we love Philarmagic, I think we did it about 4 times last trip We didn't get any giraffe people in front though

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I vote for Ip-dips Unite as well. But HSM, I'd have to disagree with you on that.....

Hey!!! Gee, Jodi, I thought we were buddies...

Apology accepted.

Try AKL in a value room in the lodge. It's not as spacious as OKW, but larger and better arranged than SSR, BCV, BWV, WLV.

~ The Man Report ~ ~ Bruised Achilles & Groin Shots ~

As most of you know, I’m a huge PhilharMagic fan. Ok, not huge, GIGANTIC! I absolutely love this show and have since the very first time I watched.

Yes we know. I know. You only said it about 4000 times on my TR ...

LtP, not so much. The very first time we watched it soured her on the experience. Unfortunately, she’s never recovered.

Has she recovered now?

The theater was at max capacity yet inconsiderate Canadians had decided to stop in the middle of the row forcing many Americans to squeeze past them to the seats beyond. This created a mass bottle neck that reverberated all the way back to the entrance of the theater from the waiting area.

I know about them rude Canadians, except mine were rude Asian Canadians. Still, nothing a gud accidental foot stomping won't cure.

3 minutes later, a family of giraffe-people came and sat RIGHT in front of us.

The entire show was spectacular. I can’t tell you how fun it was to watch both children reaching for the 3D effects and laughing hysterically at Donald’s antics. It was so neat to see MB “get” the humor. For me, it’s worth the price of admission.

I can totally relate to this right now. It is absolutely wonderful!

LtP has a good story of MB when we got home playing with his stuffed Donald and rehashing the beating he takes throughout the show.

Okay ... I'll wait for the story ...

The plan now is to hit Space Mountain with MB, shoot ‘em up at Buzz Lightyear, then grab us some ribs and chicken at Cosmic Ray’s. Ribs = Gud.

Mmm ... ribs and chicken at Cosmic Ray's. Yummo.

Why did you post this pic of the friendly people you met whilst waiting for the gals?

 

[Linnie The Pooh]

I'm not sick of Old Key West.

OKW = Gud

I love the pool & slide, plus the kids got free ice creams twice. Oh, I suppose I should save that for the TR.

Get moving on your next installment Buzz.
