I didn't have the same experience most people had though.

So that remark deserves a TR or at least a little explanation here.

Just got back from disney and thinking about a report. I didn't have the same experience most people had though.

Ok-I will Hijack J's report to say I the second person to acknowledge you WHOO HOO and after a quote like that please please do a TR!!

 

[Colt Blackwood]

Oh sorry folks. "Hijack" I guess is what I've done. I apologize.

I'll do a report. But I really don't have a clue what I'm doin.

 

[WendyO]

Ooh, the snazzy new shoes have made their first appearance. How'd they end up working out?

Since were riding along with ya here, I've got to get my timeline straight: How'd you leave for the airport at 10am and not get to WDW until almost midnight?

I know Jordan's working today and trying to keep up with reports, so I'll answer the last part for ya ... LAYOVERS. With SWA he had no bag fees but also didn't have a direct flight. So I think he was in LV for a while and then flew out to FL. Also, we get there later anyway b/c of the 3 hour time difference....

No apologies necessary.... we all gotta start somewhere and here is a great place to get your feet underneath you. Curious about your experience!

I like to wear these "flip flops" as you call them on the plane too. I hate having my feet confined for 10+ hours! But then my feet always end up freezing mid flight. Maybe I should carry socks? In Hawaii we reffer to flip flops. as "slippers". Whenever someone says the word "flip flops," we give them a confused look.

 

[winkers]

Colt Blackwood?!! What a great movie-star-sounding name you have.

I was thinking the same thing!

Oh. Thank you. You're the first person to acknowledge me here at the WDWINFO site. I was beginning to think something was wrong.

I'm loving this report. Having trouble navigating but I'll get used to it.

Hello again!

You should do a report! I know it can be a little daunting at first but you will find some of the nicest and funniest people here!
Jump in and comment away!

Don't you mean "slippah"? Hee hee hee.

We call them zori's. My mom's from HI and we're also Japanese so I keep trying to get my kids to call them zori's (what I'm used to) but I keep hearing flip-flop coming back into their vocabulary. Sigh.

Hello again!

Welcome to the nuthouse! If you do start your TR, don't compare the responses and hits to Jordan's... he's spent many years building his empire of followers... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Also, it's fun to just post on a popular thread and then you can learn how to navigate and best practices on building your own TR. Also it's great to make friends here and then you'll have some groupies to bring over to your TR once you decide to start one... hee hee. Go ahead, leech off of Jordan's posse. I'm giving you permission.

 

[jwwi]

Ok, how did I miss the start of the TR?

 

[glennbo123]

Oh. Thank you. You're the first person to acknowledge me here at the WDWINFO site. I was beginning to think something was wrong.

You're welcome. Being a message board, you don't always get instant feedback to your posts. But that's part of what makes it fun -- you post something and later you go back to see if anybody commented on it.

Here, I'll give you a demonstration:

Poo

Okay, come back later and see what happens.

I'm loving this report. Having trouble navigating but I'll get used to it.

You picked a doozie to start with, but it's guaranteed fun.

Just got back from disney and thinking about a report. I didn't have the same experience most people had though.

Like others have said, now we've gotta know the story. It doesn't have to be anything extravagant.

Oh sorry folks. "Hijack" I guess is what I've done. I apologize.

Naaah, Jordan won't mind.

I'll do a report. But I really don't have a clue what I'm doin.

Good! Maybe you'd like to read a few to see what others have done, but it'll be yours, and you can do whatever you want. Tell your story. Let 'er rip. (Ooops, that comment will get jumped on, I'm sure.)

 

[RockinDisney]

Look Look I started a PR, see the link in my sig- not much of one but I did
Wanted to show Colt how to properly highjack a thread

Wendy-The pics of your little ones are AWESOME....sorry that it was so cold for all of you but from what I have heard so far it sounds like you all had a blast anyway!!

 

[Must C Mickey]

I'm late but I'm here...apparently 28pages late. You all have been busy!

 

[Millie12591]

It sounds like you had something on your side.. some may call it pixiedust! What a great start to your day... everything was falling into place nicely!


Glad you were able to get a PEEP show on the way over to POP!!!!

Peep show! Errrr, wait! EWWWWWW! That's nasty!"

 

[arkie]

Jordan you crack me up! Just sayin.....

 

[jordanyosh]

It started nicely...I wonder if it ended the same way....

Glad you were able to get a PEEP show on the way over to POP!!!!

Nice play on words Tim. Touche.

Wow - 23 pages already amazing!
I can't believe your TSA agent - what a great way to start the trip! How come I nver get that TSA agent?

I was like really? When does this happen? It was like a movie...she yelled and I turned around from a distance to say thanks...

The sad thing is that I was being sincere. LOL

I really like the POV idea. It definitely makes you feel like you are right there with you. What a weird flight from LA to Las Vegas. I always seem to get the talker sitting next to me too. Actually, not so much anymore now that I have a small child sitting with me. Now people avoiding sitting near us like the plague. Maybe you should try that sometime.

I actually don't mind sitting next to kids--even when they're screaming. Kids are unpredictable on planes...gotta go with the flow.

Man oh man, what a fantastic start!

I see you're a new poster to the Boards!!! Welcome Senor!!! I hope you find us all to be friendly and fun!!

I too welcome you to the DIS!

Thanks for being the welcome wagon Liesa!

on the flight to vegas, I had a 30ish guy sit next to me. He was meeting his dad and bro in vegas for the weekend. He had 3 phones, a diamond encrusted watch, 2 huge rings and a Louis Vitton man purse. He owned his own businesses and had a phone for each business and one personal phone. He just lost his personal asst. She was murdered. I remember the story. Tragic. He liked to cuss. Can you believe I got all that info in an hour flight? He liked to talk about himself.

apparently so! for some reason i'm imagining this guy....

well, minus the man purse. especially when you said his assistant was murdered. i wonder if he offed her?

for real, though, that's really sad that she was murdered.

Once in Vegas, I went immediately to the restroom to unload the gas build up. I did the flush while you fart method of disguising the noise level.

thanks for sharing.

Since it was after 10pm, I had to pick up my own luggage.

i have some clients who are going to have to do this in april because their flight doesn't arrive until 10:55pm. is it a big hassle? they have a 2yo and a 6yo and are just worried it will be a pain. i told them there's really nothing we could do about it. but being that we always drive, i don't have any firsthand experience with ME. what was your experience with getting your own luggage?

The couple in front of me were all over each other. 2 women.....it would've been better if they were in their 20's and not their 50's....just sayin... I'm a pig I know.

New business? Rent a child and be guarenteed a conversation free flight. Of course it'll need to be a life like manniquin or the child will be talking your ear off.

Yeah, my kid is a good kid, but for some people it might be more worth it to talk to a total stranger for the whole flight.

I should teach him how to act like he throwing a fit, just while people are boarding & looking for their seats. Then, when everyone is settled & we are flying, he can revert back to being a good kid. Ooooh, what a thought! He's only 2 years old. He can be trained, right?

 

[jordanyosh]

The point of view thing is not crazy at all. I wish I could have been there and with you writing it this way it is like we are along with you .

Wow, you had great TSA mojo, they hardly say two words to us let alone wish us a great vacation. The ones in Orlando swear Bill is bad and always pat him down extra and when they swab his wheelchair the machines always go off for some stupid reason and everyone looks at us . I always forget to pack something too. I am worried that you forgot the antacids.

We don't get people talking to us on the flights either, I think they are worried they will catch Cerebral Palsy from Bill or fatness from me . The flight attendants do talk our ears off though.

You cracked me up about the women on ME. How odd they didn't have your outgoing reservation.

More POV coming up!

When I got home there was a TSA note in one of my bags saying that they went through it....

I had a chatty Flight Attendant from PHX to OC....she was really nice.

I had to do a double take..nice to see people in love. Just didn't need to see them touching so....well...you get the idea....They probably would've been less touchy if there were more folks on the bus, but it was empty.

As many times as you had to hold back from purchases for the trip, I can't believe you had so many last minute items! I thought of you tonight when Tessa and I watched Mulan, and Mushu, the dragon, introduces himself and says he is "travel-sized for your convenience".

I know. I can't believe I had to go that day. I am even more surprised that I still forgot stuff.....Maybe it's old age..

Love the POV angle

Actually love that you got to wear your new kicks on the plane

Nice TSA people. It does happen! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

about your seat mate on the way to vegas

ugh on the leaning 15 degrees from Vegas to Orlando. That is so uncomfortable.

Very sorry to hear you are still unsettled after the September stuff at work but maybe the trip helped bring clarity or let you know you were unresolved?

Laying it out there seems like a grand idea

As always...looking forward to MORE!

Kicks! Haven't heard that term for a long time. They were comfortable later in the trip...........

The guy on the way to Vegas was a nice guy just full of himself. Young and rich with a cougar for a GF.

I'm talking with a few good friends tonight and a few others tomorrow.

That sounds like a plan.....even for adults...I think I'll try to be all crazy until everyone is seated the next time I fly....
