Your ticket is 2months and 2 days and mine is 2 months and 1 day.
We should totally meet up during that trip if possible.

Hi Glenn, I am finally caught up. Very cool TR so far-informative, funny, sarcastic, and apparently quite popular! Great about the tickets and the sweet CM. I am looking forward to hearing about your meeting Dan and Candi as well as every other detail of your trip. I call it soda btw-I live near Pittsburgh now, but am from Hershey area and that is what we call it. I remember when the only soda I knew was either 7up or Coke-now we carry 32 different types of 'soft drink' at our restaurant. I like Boylans black cherry best. I saw your sons MASH t-shirt and it reminded me of grape knee-hi, remember Radar! My 19 year old son has the dvds and watches them over and over and laughs like crazy everytime. Well, Happy 4th to your family and will be waiting patiently, well more like anxiously for the next installment.

Me TOO!! If it means the difference between that or not going, we'll be putting one on the floor. But, mine are there too, now. They want the bed, and a bag on the floor just won't cut it anymore. Luckily, the older ones are moving out as fast as the younger ones are becoming picky.

We are ALMOST there....not that I'm wanting anyone one to move out but...just sayin'

One on the floor I can do. Two means I step on someone in the middle of the night. Yelping wakes up Jeff.

Still cheaper than 2 rooms. And perfectly acceptable for a night. Still.

Oops! I had totally forgotten that it's a big, fat holiday weekend. Shoot some off for me, and may your burgers be big!

Yep. A big fat one. Thanks!

Isn't that what we're all doing here???

Now that was a good one!

Yeah I meant to ask about the mugs earlier. Those look just like the ones from last year. What's the diff??

They're the same as last year. I had read that on the DIS, and thought about taking last year's with us, but decided to be good.

You may want to check my PTR again, but you might have to revise your search.....

Huh?

Same to you my good friend! Fire up the grill and let me know when the steaks will be ready. I'm loading the car right now!!!

A completely new way of celebrating the holiday? Must discuss these new plans with DW.......

You are welcome any time.

Have a great holiday! One day I will make a point to schedule a vacation to the US (but not to WDW, I am not that crazy...) to coincide with 4th of July! I really would love to experience the festivities once.

Visit a small town in the U.S. on the 4th of July and you will see true Americana.

Well, okay, but if it had been anybody else but you.......................I guess it would have been someone different!

Can't argue with that logic.

Happy 4th of July to you and your family, Glenn.

Thanks! I hope you're having an enjoyable weekend!

i knew about your ticket deal, and glad it worked out for you...

im wondering if we are going to make a appearence in the next chapter? or if we are still 1 away from it...i want to be there for this and dont want to miss it over the busy weekend.

I think I'll have one more chapter before you make an appearance, and it doesn't look like I'll even get that one posted this weekend, so you have some time. Have a relaxing weekend!

what is this game i missed involving judy? spot the judy? or something involving her?

if so, i will start posting my own pictures of judy and get points for myself!

It's kind of a "Where's Waldo" game that Marvin made up when we saw Judy waaaay in the back of one of my Pepper Market pictures. It would have been good if I had planned it ahead of time and had more pictures like it coming up, but now it's just silliness.

Joining in! Love the TR title -- we're going in August and could probably title our TR the same

Looking forward to reading more!

Cando86!! Thanks! I can just about guarantee you that August will be the same!

Ooh that was a good back up plan! And I bet you'd have gotten somewhere with it. Glad you didn't have to though.

I thought it would probably work, if I had to resort to it. You've gotta have a plan, right?

We've NEVER done that.

Yeah, right!

I'm cranky I have to book 2 rooms. With 6 it becomes impossible to hide the extra kids.

for more than a night.

Plus they are getting big and actually now seem to care that they are on the floor or sharing a bed. Picky picky!

I'm hoping I can figure out a way to get connecting rooms at WL that have bunk beds in one but have been unsuccessful so far

Yeah, James is starting to ask why it's always him who has to sleep on the floor! I hope you can get connecting rooms at WL, like you want.

Sigh. I can't say that they cared....expect about the impact their performer had on privileges.....

Kendall probably cared but also knew her grades were more than strong enough that she could make up for it and she did. Taylor's another ball of wax entirely.

Which reminds me that I need to go nag about where we are at in terms of getting him some summer tutoring.

Sigh.

Yikes, summer tutoring doesn't sound like fun. Judy's going to start tutoring a friend's son, later this week I think.

Me TOO!! If it means the difference between that or not going, we'll be putting one on the floor. But, mine are there too, now. They want the bed, and a bag on the floor just won't cut it anymore. Luckily, the older ones are moving out as fast as the younger ones are becoming picky.

Yes, I really try to avoid the second room. Darned picky kids, wanting beds!

 

[glennbo123]

Love the look of the CSR rooms.
Glad the ticket situation worked out ok for you! I love that it all worked out & that you still got the free water park day!

Thanks! I think it was about at this point that the potential title "This TR Just Writes Itself" popped into my head.

Thanks for the bingo card shout out -

You got it! Thanks for informing me of it.

You ended up in the Casita maze!!!
I too have been there. The first trip to the room you are always - wow this is so confusing, especially Casitas 2 and 3 since I think 3 is actually closer.
You wander, look at all the pretty fountains go up and down the stairs and elevators and wonder how you will ever find your way back after a long day at the parks.
Then from the room back to either El Centro or the bus stop you walk straight there and wonder what took you so long to find your room.

So funny that you are familiar with that first trip to find a Casitas room.

Great work on the tickets. I guess those were special convention tickets and they expired at the end of the year? I assume so since you needed to add the non expiring option. Otherwise if the tickets remain unused they would be good until used the first time and then the clock starts ticking.

Yes, they were some kind of convention ticket.

Liesa, looks like you've got another DISmeet!!

Hi Kathy! Thanks. Dan and Candi will be coming up, 2 chapters from now. I plan to mention the MASH shirt in a chapter, just not sure exactly when I'll work it in. It was my favorite show when I was in Jr High/High School.

We are ALMOST there....not that I'm wanting anyone one to move out but...just sayin'

One on the floor I can do. Two means I step on someone in the middle of the night. Yelping wakes up Jeff.

Still cheaper than 2 rooms. And perfectly acceptable for a night. Still.

I definitely rather sqeeze more of us into one room than fork out money for a second room. We'd probably spend all of our time in one room anyway!

 

[MEK]

Score and the park tickets and the water park ticket! So glad that worked out well for you.

So you are all checked in, luggage has arrived, and ticket issues resolved. Where to now??????

 

[marvali]

I don't know, reading a poor schmuck's TR might be good for SOME entertainment value!

I smell a TR title!

You may want to check my PTR again, but you might have to revise your search.....

Huh?

A TR title hinted at by the famous glennbo himself! You didn't think I would tread water while someone else snagged it do you? It has already received the Liesa stamp of approval for "entertainment value!"

Just one poor schmuck's feeble attempt at applying the glennbo method of boosting readership...

They're the same as last year. I had read that on the DIS, and thought about taking last year's with us, but decided to be good.

Okay, okay, you shamed me. You're already the most popular read on the DIS Boards and now bucking for Sainthood! Some people just can't stop themselves........

You are welcome any time.

You know what my friend? I have no doubts whatsoever that you sincerely mean that. We just might do that sometime!

It's kind of a "Where's Waldo" game that Marvin made up when we saw Judy waaaay in the back of one of my Pepper Market pictures. It would have been good if I had planned it ahead of time and had more pictures like it coming up, but now it's just silliness.

Silliness? What do you mean silliness? Magdelene and I are already competing for the first ever title, and I'm breathing down her neck for the lead!

I plan to mention the MASH shirt in a chapter, just not sure exactly when I'll work it in. It was my favorite show when I was in Jr High/High School.

Such a young one, you are.

I definitely rather sqeeze more of us into one room than fork out money for a second room. We'd probably spend all of our time in one room anyway!

Yes, I really try to avoid the second room. Darned picky kids, wanting beds!

I can relate. Our upcoming trip in December I went for the two studios to save some points. Otherwise poor DS13 would have gotten the floor, and he prefers a bed too!

 

[Poolrat]

So funny that you are familiar with that first trip to find a Casitas room.

I have done the walk 3 times in Casitas. I know it well.

The Liesa "Stamp of Approval". Golly gee whiz, I like that!!


Now, see, if I had commented on that post the night it was up, I"D have gotten that commanding lead. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOooo, I went to bad and traded a potential championship for sleep. Sheesh, where have my priorities gone?!!

At the risk of being too cliche, you snooze you lose!

(Unfortunately, I think that is how I missed being first in that last edition of Where is Judy-do?)

(Unfortunately, I think that is how I missed being first in that last edition of Where is Judy-do?)

Yeah, so right back atcha.

 

[englishrose47]

Morning Glen !! I didn;t go to BAD but I did go to bed !!!Liessa what were you doing !!!!!???

 

[Flossbolna]

Visit a small town in the U.S. on the 4th of July and you will see true Americana.

Yes, that's exactly the plan! I love small town US - it is so perfectly different from our small towns! When I was in New England in 2008 we came across a parade one morning on the village green and had so much fun watching it.

Oh... and do you still remember the time we had agreed on when you would post the next "Where is Judy? competition" picture? Since Liesa is getting competitive now as well, I really need to keep ahead of Marv!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

My gosh, this thread has been moving right along too!! The only one I am all caught up on is Rosie's brand new PTR!!

Thanks for the PLUG Christine !!! Yup I am a POLE Dancing Escort !!!

subbing !!!

 

[Flossbolna]

My gosh, this thread has been moving right along too!! The only one I am all caught up on is Rosie's brand new PTR!!

As a special service to you I am only updating my TR once a week! I would be really sad to lose you as a reader!

Oh and since everyone else is doing that, I might even mention that I just posted a new update!

 

[Tribilín]

Oh my! I'm so far behind! LOL!

I suppose we could have walked over to the building and started trying our keys in every door, but that’s a good way to get kicked-out. Or at least, so I’m told.

Well, I've tried 3 consecutive doors (don't ask please) and all I got was a laughing audience... so I guess it would take a lot more doors to get you kicked-out... I guess

She had our comp tickets so that we didn’t have to make a return trip to the Front Desk.

We found our way to the elevator that we’d used before to get to our floor and a maintenance worker also got on the elevator. He was very nice and asked us where we were from, and if we’d just arrived and those kinds of questions.

Then when we got off the elevator he held the door and said, “Do me a favor”.

Yes?

“…..Enjoy!”

Wonderful! The whole Disney experience! Something my brother in law didn't believe until he saw it with his own eyes

 

[glennbo123]

Sorry readers -- I was visiting family over the 4th weekend, and while I got some replies in (you have no idea...my MIL's computer is sooo slow, I lost some posts, some of the replies I wrote 3 times), I am way behind on my own thread. I'll try to get these replies up to date, and then get caught back up on all of the threads I'm subscribed to later this week.

Score and the park tickets and the water park ticket! So glad that worked out well for you.

So you are all checked in, luggage has arrived, and ticket issues resolved. Where to now??????

Yes, it worked out as well as I could have imagined.

What, are you wondering how many chapters it's going to take me before I actually get to a park?

A TR title hinted at by the famous glennbo himself! You didn't think I would tread water while someone else snagged it do you? It has already received the Liesa stamp of approval for "entertainment value!"

Just one poor schmuck's feeble attempt at applying the glennbo method of boosting readership...

Did you change your PTR title? It looked the same to me?

Okay, okay, you shamed me. You're already the most popular read on the DIS Boards and now bucking for Sainthood! Some people just can't stop themselves........

It was more like I didn't want to get flamed by people, if I didn't buy new mugs. Something to be said for accountability.

You know what my friend? I have no doubts whatsoever that you sincerely mean that. We just might do that sometime!

I do! Just let me know if you're heading this way.

Silliness? What do you mean silliness? Magdelene and I are already competing for the first ever title, and I'm breathing down her neck for the lead!

I wish you luck!

Such a young one, you are.

Old is relative, I'm finding. My kids will refer to someone as "old" who's younger than me. Hey!

I can relate. Our upcoming trip in December I went for the two studios to save some points. Otherwise poor DS13 would have gotten the floor, and he prefers a bed too!

Picky, picky.

I have done the walk 3 times in Casitas. I know it well.

You should be able to be a Casitas tour guide by this point.

The Liesa "Stamp of Approval". Golly gee whiz, I like that!!

Now, see, if I had commented on that post the night it was up, I"D have gotten that commanding lead. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOooo, I went to bad and traded a potential championship for sleep. Sheesh, where have my priorities gone?!!

I know you love to compete!

At the risk of being too cliche, you snooze you lose!

(Unfortunately, I think that is how I missed being first in that last edition of Where is Judy-do?)

Yeah, so right back atcha.

It's a tough game....gotta be vigilant.

Morning Glen !! I didn;t go to BAD but I did go to bed !!!Liessa what were you doing !!!!!???

Evening Rosie! I have no idea what Liesa's doing.

Yes, that's exactly the plan! I love small town US - it is so perfectly different from our small towns! When I was in New England in 2008 we came across a parade one morning on the village green and had so much fun watching it.

Yes, and you see all kinds. People walking the parade route looking for attention with how they're dressed, showing off their tattoos, etc. etc.

We went to see some fireworks last night. Not quite Disney quality, but still pretty good and they went for a half an hour, which is pretty impressive for a small town.

Oh... and do you still remember the time we had agreed on when you would post the next "Where is Judy? competition" picture? Since Liesa is getting competitive now as well, I really need to keep ahead of Marv!

PM Magdalene, PM!

My gosh, this thread has been moving right along too!! The only one I am all caught up on is Rosie's brand new PTR!!

I'm having trouble keeping up too!

Thanks for the PLUG Christine !!! Yup I am a POLE Dancing Escort !!!

Oh! I'll have to check it out when I get a chance.

subbing !!!

Glad to have you aboard.

As a special service to you I am only updating my TR once a week! I would be really sad to lose you as a reader!

Oh and since everyone else is doing that, I might even mention that I just posted a new update!

"As a special service" -- I love it!

I'll get to your update as soon as I can!

Oh my! I'm so far behind! LOL!

Hey, me too!

Well, I've tried 3 consecutive doors (don't ask please) and all I got was a laughing audience... so I guess it would take a lot more doors to get you kicked-out... I guess

Okay, I won't ask!

Wonderful! The whole Disney experience! Something my brother in law didn't believe until he saw it with his own eyes

It is something that you have to experience to really understand. Glad to hear that he had an opportunity to see it.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

You're back!! YEAH!! Hope you had a great weekend and 4th!
