The Wazowski Report ! HalloweenTime TR Day 1 DONE & Day 2 Started !! Added 12/26!

[kaoden39]

I am loving your pictures so far. Now we all know that you are the old lady of the bunch. I am so excited my husband today told me to start looking into a trip in December to Disneyland. This is the first time he has been the one to initiate the trip. So of course I started researching. I am thinking about either Hojo's or BWPPI. So is it too early to start a pre-trip report?

 

[Sherry E]

Keep 'em coming, Jasmine!!!

Oh, and guess what? I found my Disneyland pictures from the '70s! We are talking all the way back to 1972 There are not too many of them at all (like you, I think someone else on our trips did most of the picture-taking and my grandmother or whomever only took one picture or two on her camera, I suppose), but they are funny and scary at the same time. So different from the '80s and '90s Disneyland vibe, and 180 degrees difference from the DLR of today!!!! So tomorrow I will deal with the scanning and uploading of those. Stay tuned.

Anyway, do you have more pictures to share with us? I am especially interested in whatever you have during like 1996 - 1999, since I missed going to DLR those years. AND, if you have anything from DLR between 2002 and 2006, I would love to see those too, because, again, I missed going to DLR during those years and would like to see pictures from someone else's trip so I can see what I missed and what DLR looked like during those periods!!

This is not from DL this is our one trip to WDW and Universal:

From left: an aunt, me, cedric in the stroller, chad, my dad, mom, clay, and an uncle

In line for TOT when it first opened !!!

This was a big trip where we kept telling the CM's that we had a party of 18 for everything !!! CRAZZZY!

We filled an entire boat!!!

This was a trip with my parents and another cousin, Ryan.

Thats it !!

 

[Sherry E]

Noooooooooooo! That can't be all of them! There have to be more!!! I like pictures!! I suppose your trip to DL in May will get here quickly enough and we will have lots to look forward to then! I really am looking forward to your pictures from May, and I will tell you why. Aside from the fact that your photos are always great and outstanding from a photographic perspective, and the fact that you guys are always having a blast, I have no immediate plans for any DL trips on the horizon. I told myself that I would play 2009 by ear and wait and see what happens money-wise, as I do have some other important stuff I have to come up with money for that takes priority. Right now, I am okay. Even after going through alllllll of those pictures I posted form DLR trips over the years, I have successfully managed to not get sucked in to making plans for another trip. I though I would be tempting myself too much, but no. I have not been bitten by the bug yet and I hope to stay that way. HOWEVER, those trips in my pictures had already happened. If I see someone else's pictures from a new trip in the next couple of months, that may push me over the edge. My birthday is in July - typically way TOOOO hot for me to go to DL nowadays - and I have not decided if I will bother going and getting the gift card or not. Once I see YOUR DLR pictures, that will be the thing that probably pushes me over the edge. If I see how much fun you guys are having and what kinds of things you are doing, that may prompt me to make a birthday plan for July. I am hoping to be able to resist temptation and stay focused on my other stuff, but I am waiting to see YOUR May pictures to help me decide one way or the other!!!!

I am the old lady of the bunch. To them I am the "ate" (pronounced AH-TAY) or 'older sister' of the bunch. I've been that way ever since we were young. I was the decider and protecter when we were all together; pretty much the mother hen! HAHA. OOO a December trip !!! How fantastic. It definitely isn't too soon to start a pre-trip report! DO IT!!!

Awww Sherry. Thats not too fun! You know, I think I have pics from a trip I took in '02 with my parents and Eric (Kaycee and her dad even stopped by for a day). I also have pictures from the weekend proposed to me, so I can post those too! Although that was only in '04 I believe! I was only 20 when he proposed to me. I can't believe it! Thats so crazy. We have been together for 8 years though, so it doesn't seem like it wouldn't make sense for him to propose then

I hope you do get to go to DLR soon. If not, thats okay too because there's gonna be plenty of disappointment with the renovations over at DCA anyway. I'll probably get to posting those older digitalized pictures too!

I about fell through the floor. We were at Costco earlier today and my DH said well how much do you think a trip to Disneyland in December will be and told me to start planning. This is the first time he has initiated a trip. I wasted no time. I started planning with him online almost as soon as we got home.

HAHA. Thats too funny ! I bet your heart was pounding like crazy!

This is totally OT, but I'm usually this way, I just realized on how much I use the exclamation mark. I really need to cut back on it or people are going to think I yell all the time !! Haha

I'm so excited for you though that you will be going during Christmas; I LOOOOVE DLR during Christmas! I think its 10x more magical

You know it's funny but I love the exclamation point too. I don't think of it as yelling. I think of it as excitement. My heart about exploded, he has never initiated a trip to Disneyland. Honestly I normally make reservations and then tell him what days to take off. We went to Disneyland in December 2005 and it was one of our best trips ever. Now I hope that they do the HMH overlay this year.

Jasmine, you must have read my mind - seriously!! Just the other day, I was noticing how much I use the darn exclamation point in my sentences - and I don't even think I realized it, oddly. You know how you just kind of get used to doing something and don't even think about it anymore? It just becomes habit. And I know I am not yelling. But for some reason, I became exclamation point-crazy. I had never noticed you were using it a lot at all, but I know you are not yelling. We all know you are not yelling. I guess it just helps to use the ! to sort of emphasize a point, whether it be funny or excited or just something you're enthused about. Now that I think about it consciously, I think I sort of associate the ! in posts with being happy and eager and just really excited about DLR stuff. It is kind of on par with using the emoticons. I always see it is positive because it is usually coming from seemingly positive and upbeat people.

Oh, and yes, definitely post pictures from 2002 and 2004 or whenever. As far as I am concerned, there is room for all pictures from all years in your TR - past, present and future. And again, I didn't go to DLR at all between 1996-1999 and 2002-2006, so I am really interested to see anything from those years. Your engagement trip was the trip where you got violently ill from Tortilla Jo's, right? I assume the picture-taking stopped after the food poisoning set in?

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

Jasmine!! So old school! I love it!!!!! Love love love it!

I think I need to go through our picture boxes and find our old Disneyland pictures. We have a ton somewhere. This is a mission I need to take! YES!

 

[mariezp]

This first picture is not from DL, but it is partially why I am in love with Disney; I was brainwashed from the start.

Not AT Disneyland but how could you leave out this picture? You were really a cutie!

Thanks for sharing all the old photos! Your bunch does always look like they are having a wonderful time.

I have started a craze!!! It's a different kind of Disney snowball! (And I am still using exclamation points, darn it!) EVERYBODY drag out the old DLR pictures and post them - that means you, Courtney, and Marie, and everybody. Let's see 'em!

 

[MommyWithDreams]

Totally LOVE your TR. And I'm like Sherry E...there MUST be more pics somewhere!!!

I don't know what it is about the exclamation point, but it always seems to get the point across in my case !! The pictures that we took from out engagement trip actually do have pictures of me being sick. Eric was trying to lift my spirits by taking pictures of me, but it totally didn't help haha!

Jasmine!! So old school! I love it!!!!! Love love love it!

THAAANKS You should post some pictures too. I'd loooove to see 'em!

Thanks Marie!

I don't know what it is about Disney, but they definitely bring out the best in all of us

Totally LOVE your TR. And I'm like Sherry E...there MUST be more pics somewhere!!!

THANK YOU! I'm definitely gonna hunt down for more to show off. They might not be a whole bunch, but there will be some for sure!

I don't know if you all know, but I have two trips planned in May; one for my birthday weekend and one for the week of the 25-28th (3 days between those dates). The second trip is going to be with my cousin from our October trip (the big white guy and his wife ). They got bit by the Disney bug; they were the ones who hadn't been to DLR in 20 years.

This time around they are inviting their friends and her brother and his GF. I'm totally down for it. The more, the merrier. I found out from my cousin that he gets military discount for park hopper tickets. He can get a 3 day park hopper for FREE and I think 4-5 other people can get 3-day park hoppers for $94 !!! Isn't that awesome ??? It doesn't really apply to me because I have my AP, but its still a sweet deal nonetheless. On top of that, I just got a phone call from him today saying that he has a friend that he works with who has time share for a DLH suite and can get it for when we go if he will use his discount for the park hoppers for them and have them go. She said that if he does it, she will let us stay there for FREE! Hooooooly COW! I'm so stoked. This means that I won't have to penny pinch as much as I thought I had to Good news huh ?

 

[Sherry E]

Great news! You won't have to watch your money as closely AND you can stay onsite and enjoy the DLH, see the koi fish and the mini-Jungle cruise boats, and take home the adorable Mickey-head shampoo bottles!

I KNOWW !! I still haven't seen the koi fish pond! I soo want to

I love the shampoo bottles I still have the ones from my trip there with Eric!

This is totally OT, but this is my thread so I feel safe on posting what I want here!

I watched Coraline with two of my cousins (Jesse & Rj; they're brothers). Jesse gets us in for free because he works at AMC. After I watched the movie, I said that it was just BLEH, but now I really liked it. In fact I kind of wanna watch it again. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD so I can obsess over it and watch it 5 times a day (I do that with movies I like). I even stole the 3D glasses (yes, bad I know.. I'm a pirate ).

Oh and nothing makes a fashion statement like 3D glasses either.
