The Two Really Old(ish) Happyhaunts Go South. Alone... But With ECVs!

[ZZUB]

I enjoyed my cheese a lot. While wrestling with crabs. (NOLindsayLohan)

Only took 12 pages to get here. FINALLY, this made me laugh.

Mellyman came back with the same amount of crab legs and no butter.

I'm all for true love and crap, but you should dump that idiot! You can't eat crabs without butter!!! Butter is the REASON you eat crabs! It's the best butter delivery mechanism ever developed.

No. He just super crapped.

No wait, keep him! That' is fantastically funny and quite descriptive. Best part is, no one in my world knows you people (Thank God for all of His many mercies), so I can co-opt this term and people will think it's mine. Because ZZUB is all about the scat.

I don't think he likes us.

He's in good company.

 

[AshClan]

O.M.G. I am verklempt. Or nauseous. Or questioning my sanity. Because half of what Z said above was totally what I was going to say. I LMAOGOIHWEOINHG (a la Gram) at the NOLindseyLohan line, and I was horrified at the idea of eating crab legs with no butter. If I recall correctly, I suspect LaLa would agree. And...thank Mellyman for the crab-cracking hints! I am all over that next time I get to Cape May. I'm a Boston girl, so no problems with lobster, but I always fail miserably at my crab-crackin' endeavors.

I'm not much for bathroom humor (NO#4), but the image of your man coming back all happy and ready to pig out for a second time after *ahem* "making room" was pretty funny.

Now, I know you mentioned TIW before, but I just had a thought. Having a TIW card makes it EVEN MORE IMPORTANT to eat on property. Geesh, girl, you have to milk every penny of savings you can out of that thing to make you feel good about the purchase. That means lots of TS on-property restaurants. And drinks. Last time I checked (which was, well, never), they don't offer TIW discounts at the FUDD. Or Chevy's.

Y'all are going to a REAL park tomorrow?! Can't wait to hear all about it!! Will we get to the "does Mellyman fit on SDMT?" part in the next chapter? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[GottaGetToDisney!]

You're back! Yay! Oh so many years ago I used to read your trip reports (and those of many other old-timers, including ZZUB) and I've often wondered where you'd disappeared to. I don't know if I posted much. Probably not, though. I'm more of a stalker. I like stalking, stalking's my favorite (NORichardRamirez).

I nearly did a spit-take on my computer screen when I read the ages of your children. Then, I thought to myself "Self, you're exactly the same age as Mel and you have a 19 year old and a 13 year old." Time marches on for us all, eh? Bleh.

So, I just got back from WDW this past Sunday. While there, I actually went to a park and rode some rides. One of those rides was the Haunted Mansion and when our Ghost Host asked if there were any volunteers to become the 1000th happy haunt I thought of you, I did. Wondered why the heck you stopped writing your super-funny trip reports.

I only visited the Trip Reports board because I was curious to see if anyone else who visited this past week also found the parks to be REALLY FREAKING CROWDED despite the predicted crowd levels of 1's & 2's*. I was shocked to see your username had been hijacked by somebody else! Equally shocked to see that it was actually you!!! Shocked AND pleased!
*yes, others thought the parks were much more crowded than expected. I went with my kids the week after Labor Day in 2013 and it was wonderful - practically empty parks and just about every ride a walk-on. I've been talking up September to my family ever since then. Now, they all think I'm a big, fat liar. And it was hot...Lord, was it hot. Crowds + extreme heat = seeing the Country Bear Jamboree just for the air conditioning.

Reading your trip report has somewhat eased my post-vacation depression. But, it's back to work tomorrow! Booooo! Stupid work interfering with my reading-Mel's-trip-report time!

It's so good to see you back!

 

[luv2tvl]

Woah. Wow. Holy moly.
I feel like all the cool kids are back together and I'm totally fangurling it over here. MelHappyHaunt, ZZUB, Lala.... TOO MUCH. My feeble little brain can't even deal right now.
I didn't post a whole lot "back in the day" but man did I stalk you all... In the least creepy way possible.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this TR and everyone in it!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

HOLA~ and... reply guys!!!!


AshymyPooh: If you are on any borg sorta wavelength with ZZUB...it's time to join CURVES. NOSHER. (Not cause you're plump. I'm sure you're sleek and slind. You're just such a sexy beach. Are your breasts real?)

And... you gotta stop the Lil Debbies. Cause they turn into Lil big Thai's. NOFRICK.

Anywho... thanks for the mad love. And YESSSSS... the Mellyman's crab leg cracking technique is superb. It works every time. Check it out my friend!!!!

I was sooooo thankful. Saved that meal for Me(l). Big time.

I hear ya. I hear ya. You're like The General sometimes these days... on the schoolin' me. On offsite and onsite stuff. Which I appresh. And miss. The schoolin'...From The General. Not on her game as much these days. Saidly.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. I got a real good idea. About sumpin' sumpin'. I will conversation tomorrow. KK?


GottaGetToDisney!: I honestly don't understand why you would lurk or *STALK* and not post. Cause you are pretty decently funny. I liked what you wrote. And am glad that you're glad that I'm back and everyone. else too.

Just glad.


Stick around. Post more. Cause... truth be told. I enjoy "replying" more that writing my trippies. And. if you're ok with getting a little grind here and there. Then it works fine. Some people get *more* grind. NOZZUB. NOSHER. But they've been around for awhile and I'm pretty sure they are big boys. And can take the heat. And give just as good as they get. I try to softly grind newbies. Just so they know they are loved. olo.

Capish?

Now then: Stalking is ok. In fact, I recently started re-Stalking ZZUB. Like in the land before time. Today... I was actually in his office. Pretending to clean it. While talking Spanish. He ignored me. But I had hoped for that.

I noticed that basically all he does is play Tetris. At his desk. While re-reading my trip report. And laughing. over and over and over. Sometimes he screams. From the just extreme revolutionary humour impact. Of it all.

He also eats a lot of snaks. And farts. Real real stinky. Like hard boiled eggs.

What I'm saying here is this: I cleaned his office so good. And said Au Revoir Monsieur!!!! (wasn't Spanish. he didn't notice)


And put a dead trout in his floor vent.

While Roll Tiding. Silent. And deadly. (NOZZUBGAS)


luv2tvl: I love to TV l(ots). Too. So we're borg already. Food network. And cartoons.

Thanks for the lovefest. Too.


But... we're not by any definition "cool". As I'm sure all would agree. We're just super duper geeky. And silly.

Please don't stalk. POST. It's more fun!



ZZUB: WWUB: TTUB:


Ahhh. You gotta try to be nicer to Donkey. ok???? Shrek????? donkey is a fiercely loyal friend.

Glad you enjoyed that chapterish.


Feel free to steal anything from me. Cause today...while in your office and adjoining bathroom. (Love the bidet btw)

I stole all your combs and hairbrushes. Which you prolly will NEVER EVER notice.

I left the back-hair rake. Tho.


That...you'd miss. Like... by tonite.


RULE TIDE!!!! BAYBEEE!!!!


Cheers, Mel.


edit: "in good company" DED!!!!

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Mel.....Borg, borger, (NOBooger), borgest.

Not only are we joined by our closeness by the QE but your TR is really freakin' me out

KJEd is not a booth guy either. We love it when the Little Restaurant Hostess (NOSuzyHelperShoes) says, "Come right this way Mr. & Mrs YAK - we have a nice booth for you" And KJEd has already scouted out the nearest table WITH chairs and says, "Um we'd rather sit here"
I seriously do the silent shake each and every time. Because the look of Suzy's face is priceless. It's like checking in at the *** hotel (Hi Frick) and being offered the Grand Freudian (Hi Silly!) and saying, "no thanks"

It's a Canadian thing people (NObooths)

And no Butter!!!

Mr. Melly has it correct. Butter greases up the crab and masks the flavoUr. Gotta love a super crapper!!! LOLOLOLOLALALALALALALA.

And now I can't remember what else to comment on. What happened to the scroll back? I love technology always and forever, but this new DIS is killin' me.

Mel - get yourself to a park before these people bust a spleen. It's time.

Or throw a real curveball (Go Jays!) and go to SeaWorld.

Edited: OMG Go to Bed Mel.....borg posting BTW I wrote All Star Sports and it turned into *** Must be an American thang

 

[RedHatDisney]

Tears. Real, true laughtears. NOAUtocorrect, I did NOT mean slaughter. Close, tho. This TR and replies.....fun.

 

[daly7o9]

This is weird. I found this trippie about five days ago and have been lurking(ish). I haven't been able to see any of your pics until today and now your avatar has disappeared. What up wit dat? (my apologies to SNL). Tho I'd rather see you two than your avatar anyway. And I agree... you guys are a cute couple.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Daly6of9:

oop sie.


Heh heh

Ya. I'm having the same issues. With pics and avatar. Idk why.


I'm the last person on earth to be able to figure it out tho.


I can't even adjust the toaster levels pleasingly on a day to day basis. Not yet. (NObagel)


Cheers, Mel.

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Ashypoo!

Can you check your "conversations" again?

Cheers, Mel

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Thursday July 16th aka Part 1 of Day 5 aka all mixed up on counting parts (NOFrick) aka The MOST Magical Kingdom!!!!

So we had a fabulous sleep. We slept in our coffins like the deadish. Except for Mellyman who flipped and flopped a bite. And woke up *perfectly* rested. Refreshed, rejuvenated and rejuveniled. And, amazingly, earlier than our alarm was set for. So magically.

You see... we had had a lil bicker (NOBicker) fight the night before turning off the light. I wanted to get up super early to make rope drop at the MK. I *believed* that it was to be at 8am. On this particular day. Mellyman was all against being anywhere before 9am. Or later.

Besides the bathroom.

Anyhow... I woke up and beeped him awake. To screw with his REM cycle. But also to facilitate my plans.

Heh heh.


Anyhow I got up and did the same morning routine as before.

1. Avoid the Hippo's reach and a pillow beat down.

2. Avoid the Hippo's deadly accurate leg swipe.

3. Dart in to quickly kiss the Hippo. Further enraging him.

4. Go get Hippo repellent. Coffee. Boring paper. Big knife.

10. Use the bathroom before the Hippo gets to it.

7. Get dressed.

10. Get dressed. Again. Wrong shorts. New top.

5. Makeup. Ohhhhh. it's not a *Water Park* today BAYBEEE!!!

IV. Turn our new neighbour's (Partiers are all GONE!!! BTW. I think. Was very very berry quiet. Tho.) "Quiet Please" door thingie around. NOPixiedust.

(The *Disney* form. Not... PCP. NOLindsayLohan)

And. Wait. super uber impatiently for Mellyman to be ready to roll. NOTide.

Finally, finally, finally, finally. We left and headed for our little red wagon. To be at Magic Kingdom. But definitely NOT in time for rope drop.


*sigh*


HOWEVER!!!! Some how... somehow someone had my back today. Because I got the opening time all wrong and I didn't know it. So we parked and boarded the tram. Which was about to leave. We squeezed on. Mellyman more than Melself. Tho. He doesn't fit real well into them. His legs and knees.

I was fine tho. Just like in a booth for 2. Cheers.

Headed for the monorail. Ohhhhhh NO!!!! Big crowd. Then it hit me... "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YESSSS!" The CMs aren't letting anyone on yet. There's a rope there. People are just waiting to get on to the monorail.

Heh heh. I got the opening times mixed up. And it was now only like shortly after 8am.

I told Mellyman. And he rolled his eyes. But didn't really care because we were here afterall. And he had had coffee. And cancelled his intial meet and greet with the divorce lawyer for the following week.

I looked around a decided on a plan... The Ferry!!!! We would run to the ferry. Far left side. Fewer people going that way. And we would run. WELL...I jogged and Mellyman speedwalked all sexy. Ish. Listen... it was too early in the morning for *anything* to be sexy. A lesson Mellyman taught me well and good. On our honeymoon.

Which is why it's not called "honeydawn". Or... so he claims.

Walked onto the closest ferry. And butted up against a crowd. So I started slinding through. Mellyman said "Mel. No." But I ignored him and keep going thru. He followed me making complaining sounds and excusing himself. Cause he is much larger than Me(l). And while I can move in a ghostlike almost invisible way through a crowd. He can't. And he wasn't happy about it.

To the point where I had to turn and say "I might panic if you don't keep up!".

And honestly... he had NO TROUBLE doing it at Blizzard *****. I'll just note. So. Yeah. We were "those" Slinders. That you wanna elbow in the throat. Or, in his case, Mellyman's nipple.

Got to the front of the ferry. Bottom level. It unloads first. Tip. NOnip.

We were on our way. YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! The ferry docked. And we ran off and to the good 'ol bag check. NOMel.

Mellyman had no bag on him. Only one in tow. So he skipped that ordeal and waited for Me(l) on the far left side to enter the park. We only enter by the left tunnel.

To do otherwise would be very bad luck. In my mind. Cause...I'm a lefty. And proud of it. In fact... three outta five happyhaunts are lefties too. And Beth and Tommy look more like me as well.

My gene pool is stronger. More dominant. Full Irish. Purebred.

I'm a female Colin Farrell. Just more rugged. Less man candy.

We quickly got in. There was *no* line. Like in the dead middle. Why do people head to the middle or the right???? Like sheep????


It's because they're not lefties. NOAsh.


Thru the tunnel. Paused briefly for three seconds to hug. Cause we were THERE! And, because I have to do that. As per OCD contract requirements. Then I said to Mellyman, "Listen. I'm gonna run. Not speed walk but RUN. To Splash Mountain. Keep up!"!!!!!

With that I was through the crowd. Taking the route through the shops. Left side. No one in them. Everyone on Main St. Instead. Through Casey's Corner. Around Crystal Palace. Bridge to Adventureland. Through the tunnel. Through Frontierland. And at a dead sprint. Both of us.

In 100% weather. Wearing thongs. And flip-flops.

3 outta four

Heh heh

Why???????????? Why???????????

Because Mellyman prefers boxers.

And... also... we had NO FASTPASS+

Today.


Cheers, Mel.

edit. To the sedit: I got nothin'

 

[daly7o9]

Yay! You made it into a park! And quite deftly, I might add. Or is it daftly?

 

[AshClan]

Mel, Check YOUR conversations.

I am sitting here in the "breakfast lounge" of a Holiday Inn Express somewhere in Yahoo, NY, and smiling at Melly's Disney musings while my husband is on my iPhone, trying to help me to get past level 89 on Alphabetty. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday morning! We've got a wedding this evening. Not helping me with Disney trip prep, as I need to pack! Heading out this Wednesday for the homeland and I can't wait!

Mellyman had no bag on him. Only one in tow. So he skipped that ordeal and waited for Me(l) on the far left side to enter the park. We only enter by the left tunnel.

BORG

My gene pool is stronger. More dominant. Full Irish. Purebred.

DOUBLE BORG

It's because they're not lefties. NOAsh.

And not just politically!

In 100% weather. Wearing thongs. And flip-flops.

bwahaha!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Hey! couple a quick reply guys:

YAK!!!! Look... I'm awake again!!! Bet you r too!

Go JAYS!!!!

errrr... nevermind today. :S

So... I am up late. Gonna be later. Till 1am. Cause Calvin has a date tonight. To a late movie. And he took the van. And he has a curfew and well... hoping it all turns out ok. Him and curfews don't mix. Like Randy and a pocket full of tater tots.

Mellyman is gone on a hunting trip. Beth is at school. So Tommy and I painted the town red tonight as The General would say. Sorta. We hit a sports bar... got wings and two kinds of fries. Regular for me and sweet potato for him.

We painted the town peach. Ish.

I'm sure this is super interesting to you YAK. But stick with Me(l). Here.

And then...he killed me. (NOHannibalVector) He was telling me that he's reading three books now. At the same time. Depending on his mood of the moment. The Shining, Game of Thrones and The Fault in Our Stars. So random. Omigosh. I laughed. And told him we're so BORG. He said he read all of them today at some point and then was "all REDRUM confused". Also KILLED me!!!! LOL. Then cause I couldn't finish my hot wings I asked him if he wanted them. He said yes but they would have to come home and go in the fridge for tomorrow.

Why?

Because he can only eat hot wings... cold. The spice receptors in the mouth are intensified by heat and dulled with cold and yada yada blah. I can't remember it all but it also killed me cause there was a long long explanation. There.

The ushe.


We had a good "date". Tho. Prolly better than Calvin's will go. Heh heh.

REDHATLADY: Thanks for all the likes!!! Appresh. Glad I could make you slaughter. Glad you are on board. Feel free to tell me more about yourself. Cause there's not a lot to go on right now.

Basically... you have a red hat. You have a computer. You like hot cheese salad dressing. Disney. That's it.


DALY7o9: Heh heh heheh heheheh. Yes... the better word is "daftly". NOD. Good on you!!!!

ASHYPOO: I checked it!!! LOCKED and LOADED!!!

I have nothing else to say to you. You can read my mind. Apparently... we're so Irish left lefties. Have a fun wedding.





Cheers, Mel!!!


Edit: Newman??????

 

[RedHatDisney]

Getting really tired of backspace button thingie where I think line dealie button is... ....... ....love random ellipses... . .....elliptic plural?

Eta. Stupid autocorrect

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Hola REDHATLADY!!!

I am still awake. And it's much later than your time. But I'm glad we can chat. He took the crappiest van btw. There is also a car. Another van. Neither of which he is allowed to drive. Yet. Anywho... I'm still awake.

Because... Calvin has not responded to my texts. As I *knew* would happen. Or else... I'll write a huge soliloquy. Like I just did 15 mins ago.

And get "k". Back. But not even that tonite.

*urgent need to scream out loud*

Anywho... glad you're up too. At 9:15pm. And yet... that's gotta be late for you. Did you do the early bird special dinner deal at 4 pm?

1/2 of a 1/3 rack of ribs and a crouton? Tea?

YESSSSSS!!!! Thanks for the info. You are on my radar. Now.


Also... yes. You're totally crazy. anything over 2 cats is "Crazyladycrazy". Hope you have three litter boxes. Cause been there done that. They have to have their own litter boxes. TFI.

I ALSO love cats. As much as dogs. But... not quite. But... I love dogs more than cheese. That's sayin' something.

My cat LUSHY loves to sleep either on my chest. My stomach. Or wrapped around my head like a Davy Crockett hat. With her tail across my neck. It's all good and truly I sleep better like that.

What I'm saying here is this: I miss Boddington my recent other cat. And... maybe I need more cats.

Then again... I'm already crazy enuff lol.

Random ellip-si (that's it!)

BOMB!!!! Dot dot dot. Com.

Thanks for keeping Me(l) company tonight. Waitin' on a good 'ol grounding.

One week. NO phone. NO expeditions. NO gaming. NO Netflix. No Nutella, banana, oatmeal, egg white, milk, almond, peanut butter, soy crumbles. Shakes.


Uggghhhh.


Anywho... Thanks for keeping Me(l) company tonite.


Cheers, Mel.

 

[pookersmom]

This is the best trip report ever because you made a really funny Lindsay Lohan/crabs joke and talked about making room.

Also I just spent half an hour reading blog entries about Princess Pricklepants. I'm in love. With a hedgehog.

 

[Yzma and Kronk]

Borg Mel

Bingo

You got it!

I am still up. Ish

Waiting on L'llYAK. Who wasn't on a date. But out "with the boys". Which makes me wait up until he's safely tucked into his bed. Which happened about 20 minutes ago.

Go Jay's...actually for me it was Oskie wee wee Oskie Wa Wa. (NoRollTide) today in The Hammer

Same result :s

Hot wings cold. Perfect! Love it (NODuffs)

Get packin' Ash (NONRA)
I'll start tomorrow.
And if I know anything, Sher will have us to the MK 2.68 seconds after we cross those beloved arches.

Unlike someone we know

And love

Here.

I guess entering the tunnel is something....

Edited: sorry, through the tunnel and sprint to Frontierland.

 

[RedHatDisney]

Postscript. 4 litter boxes. 3 cats. Wink

 

[luvvwl]

AshymyPooh: If you are on any borg sorta wavelength with ZZUB...it's time to join CURVES. NOSHER. (Not cause you're plump. I'm sure you're sleek and slind. You're just such a sexy beach. Are your breasts real?)

I am sleek. So there. Everywhere but there. And yes, all mine. Once I pick them back up off the floor and put them back where they belong. Don't be jelly of the ta-tas. I'm jelly of small ta-tas (NOMel)

Stick around. Post more. Cause... truth be told. I enjoy "replying" more that writing my trippies. And. if you're ok with getting a little grind here and there. Then it works fine. Some people get *more* grind. NOZZUB. NOSHER. But they've been around for awhile and I'm pretty sure they are big boys. And can take the heat. And give just as good as they get.

SEE ABOVE ((BIG GRIN))

Listen... it was too early in the morning for *anything* to be sexy. A lesson Mellyman taught me well and good. On our honeymoon.

Which is why it's not called "honeydawn". Or... so he claims.

Listen. Some things ARE sexy in the morning. Just saying'

We only enter by the left tunnel. To do otherwise would be very bad luck. In my mind. Cause...I'm a lefty. And proud of it.

My gene pool is stronger. More dominant. Full Irish. Purebred.

BORG!!!

Thru the tunnel. Paused briefly for three seconds to hug. Cause we were THERE! And, because I have to do that. As per OCD contract requirements.

TRIPLE BORGITTY-BORG!!!!

I am all packed for MY trip (2 more sleeps!!!) But. I have to spend the night at the airport hotel since the nearest one to me is 2 hrs away. That's ok tho. My Prince Charming and I have a lovely pre-flight tradition. PF Chang's take-away and a great bottle of sauvignon blanc. Speaking of, did you know you can place on online order today for whenever???

You can!!!!

So. Our order will be ready and raring to go @ 7:30 pm TOMORROW night!

That doesn't involve cured road kill.

Or does it???
