All caught up thanks to your links V !!!Poor Leo and the Bee !! Your Nights out sounded great!!
Oh how funny! Let me know if you see us... my schedule just got tighter than ever, so no new TRs to read for me for a while.I need to read back, but Memom and Jill (BrooklynsMommy's TR), may have been on the Poly beach the night of July 4th or had dinner at Ohana??? Would be funny if you see each other in pictures.
The original document was 4 pages, but it's been amended 27 times. Still, it's a fairly quick read. It's here, if you have any interest! http://www.usconstitution.net/const.htmlWhat a wonderful evening V it looks like you all had so much fun and errr how long is the constitution?![]()
Aw shucks.Still following, thanks for sharing your story about your annual reading of the constitution. Said Perfectly.![]()
Yay! They were so much fun!All caught up thanks to your links V !!!Poor Leo and the Bee !! Your Nights out sounded great!!
I really think you'll love it Mo!I am really looking forward to trying Kidani out next year!
Do it, but not at the expense of Sanaa. More to come on that.You have me curious about Jiko, may have to put that on the list for next year.
Me too! You could have knocked me over with a feather.I have to say I'm shocked that you didn't have to spend more $ on the groceries. I would have imagined a small mortgage would have been needed![]()
We totally did. I definitely recommend it, so long as you're not in a park!Almost makes me want to go for the 4th one year, but I dread the crowds. Though you seem to have avoided them.
Oh check it out when you've got a few minutes - it's soooo much better as an adult, lol! http://www.usconstitution.net/const.htmlSounds like a great night with friends!!!Very impressive reading the constitution! Don't think I've read it since high school.......a L O N G time ago!

It was as if they knew our time together was drawing to an end
“DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN!!!”
I think Suzy Pack-a-Log failed high school physics.
“Vent ahead…
I have had it with the “new” Jungle Cruise (JC). HAD it.
Some time ago, I began seeing postings on the DIS about a “new” spiel for the JC. People were reporting that both the ad-libbing and funniest of the scripted jokes were gone, replaced by factual commentary and really crappy jokes.
I scoffed. I was on the JC a few times when those stories began to appear and saw no such thing. Apparently, they were introducing it slowly.
Because by mid-summer 2010, the “new” JC was on, full-throttle. I believe I rode it three times that trip, and have been on it another time since. Same. Lame. Crappy. Spiel.
For example: no longer does Inspiration Falls inspire us to GO… deeper and deeper into the jungle. Now, it motivates people to explore new places.
Freaking-YAWN.
The apes still get the skipper’s jeep to turn over, and the rocks are still often taken for granite, but fret no longer if you’re wearing a white shirt – the Hungry, Hungry Hippos have been replaced with “interesting” facts about how they spend their days.
Oh, and the Backside of Water? No more mounting excitement and anticipation for that wonder of nature. Just a cursory mention in passing.
I really hoped it was a fluke, but it looks like poor timing, lack of comedic talent and a script written by the same folks who brought us “My Favorite Martian” are here to stay.
Gag me.
Vent over.
Wow, fantastic, I suppose everyone just assumes it'll be a nightmareYou may be wondering about crowds the morning after July 4th. I was, too. And Ill say this right now, not to leave you in suspense they werent there!
OMGI seem to recall letting the youngest kids call a lot of shots that morning. Which can be the only explanation for riding the Tomorrowland Speedway. Twice. TWICE.
Wow that's great, looks as though you all had funBut, FOUR times, we stormed Goofys barn!
Because what Suzy Pack-a-Log meant was Do you all want to smush together in a single log?
Oh no, I haven't been on it for a few years, the girls aren't interested anymore, sounds as though we're not missing muchI have had it with the new Jungle Cruise (JC). HAD it.
Oh no, I know too well what AK is like in the rainIn retrospect, it just wasnt meant to be.
Thank you! Oh my heck but it was fun!Great update V!
for being able to ride Barnstormer 4 times in a row!
We may or may not have tried that.Hm...I wonder if this will work with the bartender at the Tambu Lounge for a second Lapu Lapu?
Yes! My thoughts exactly.Seriously? UGH. Why do they have to mess with the good stuff. Isn't the Cruise supposed to be campy and then you can head on over to the AK for the edumacational stuff.
That's all I could think. Also, the Mk was open with EMH on the 4th until 3am, I think. So that may have helped with crowds the next morning?Wow, fantastic, I suppose everyone just assumes it'll be a nightmare![]()
Oh no, I know too well what AK is like in the rain![]()
That it was!I think that morning at MK was ABSOLUTE fun, fun, fun!Do it again, do it again!!!
OMG, I forgot about that!Ooh, and remember that very ANGRY mother in CHH snapping at her child when he asked when it would stop raining? "Do I look like a weatherman?!!"
There is?!?!Oh well, there's always next year!
YES! Let's go.Can we go back now?
GB, there were lots f girls in there, too! They have everything even the girliest girl could want to deck out a princess-mobileThe build a car deal looks AWESOME! If it works out for us to go with my nephew again, well definitely be stopping in here. (Or I may just have to stop in for myself while the girls are at whatever store it is that little girls go to at DTD.)
Thank you! I give most credit to Canon, though; all I did was turn off the flash and make a human tripod, lol!Amazing photos from the 4th V! Im so glad you brought the good camera. AWESOME JOB!
Me too! All that seems to be left are the BAD, not even corny, jokes.Oh JC sounds YUk!!I liked the corny jokes !!!
The pix of the 3 boys together are sooo sweet !!Ya can just tell how close they are !!
Isn't that fun?! And it happens so infrequently at WDW.Loved your MK morning...........My Mom & I did that on Gadget's GoCoaster in DL one night----again & again & again.
Thanks! I always have very low expectations of AK, so I was really blown away, lol!Sorry your AK evening didn't work out....but glad to know got a do over day that was magical.
Suzy was on FIRE - she was all about getting us all to ride "together", LOL!Great update! I'm still laughing over Suzy Pack-a-log!!!
They really do, year after year!Wow, the kids get along so great, it's so nice to see.
A little over an hour and a half on a good traffic day. Though on a Friday at rush hour, in a thunderstorm, it once took 4 hours.How far from WDW are you? I'm jealous!!!
Right?! I keep waiting to hear a DISer say they got someone good and that I've jsut had bad skipper luck... hasn't happened yet though.The very reason I liked JC was that old script. With the right CM it was so perfect.
Thanks Ash!Oh wow, V, I loved this update!!!
OMG yes - I totally forgot until you mentioned it, but I do remember reading that in your TRs now!First of all, I have to tell you that I am DED (dying laughing, to those of you who don't use that term) at the Suzy Pack-a-Log story because that EXACT same thing (minus all the children) happened to us at Maelstrom Meet 2006!!!! We had 11, the CM (maybe it was her?!) said we could all fit, and we (with only ONE child, 10 adults) very nearly lost a few people in the process!!!!
Thank you! It still boggles my mind that a few families could find one another via Internet and hit it off so well!I just love the obvious happiness to be together and spirit of fun that shines through in all of those pictures.![]()
So...4 rides on Goofy's Barnstormer. How long did that take, like, 5 whole minutes?!
He was the best! I've been wondering, too, what happened to the good ones... are they just gone now???What happened to that awesome captain, can't remember his name, you and I have both had him. totally ad libbed stuff.
Okay, I already know the outcome of this - yay for a great AK day!AK - what to say, I haven't made rope drop in quite a few years, some trips I have pretty much skipped it. I do plan on getting there for one rope trip this time, hopefully the weather will cooperate.
