The "Why I didn't speak to my sister for a week" trip report *** Now Complete :)

:rotfl2: I just started reading this at the suggestion of another DISer. I am only on page 16 but I would have throttled your sister if it were me. ;) Missing 'Ohana would have landed her in the hospital and me in jail.

:rotfl:

All the people that seemed angry over Ohana actually surprised me.
We have ADRs for this coming Sept trip and because of the mixed reviews I was really second guessing myself. Now I am glad I kept the ADR...Thanks
 
Have a great trip and try to erase all the bad memories from this past one! I would kill to have you as a sister, I am sorry that Jessi and Alex did not appreciate the wonderful gift you and your mom gave them. :hug:

I wouldn't...I have had slow service there and have been rushed, but the food is SOOOO worth it....especially if the potatoes are back! I wish I was going in September! Oh and the bread pudding!

But ya know I still luv my sis :) That doesn't mean I don't want to kill her every once in a while - like when she calls me in the middle of the night to discuss CSI when I'm working at 7am. I guess we just get along a lot better when we're far away and there are no expectations.:rolleyes1




:goodvibes Isn't that the way it is with most relatives? ;) That's how I have to approach my relationship with my mutha. I gave up "normal" a long time ago. :laughing:


Okay, I really need to get back to work. :rotfl:
 
I finally just finished all of your other reports. Wish I would have known about your reports in Oct as I was in Paris for a week (Oct 12-18 2007) and did alot of activities on my own as my friend was over there for work and I tagged along for the ride. I did make it over to DLP just so I can say I have been there (and because I figured I might never make it back over there again...if I get to Paris again I am pretty sure DH will not want to go there since WDW is here)...you are right...it is small and there were some really rude people and they were not all french! There were plenty of english speaking rude people there too! (I was there during the soccer or rugby championships though did not go to any games but we ran across alot of them staying in our hotel and on the metro) The food at DLP was gross too. I tried a Caseys hot dog (since I heard so much about them from WDW and did not try from my Sept 07 WDW trip) and some chicken fingers in Downtown Disney (if you can call it that) But I thought some attractions were nicer in DLP but just because it was newer than the attractions at WDW.
Too funny that you would like to live in the USA and I would love to live in Paris or Germany as DH and I loved it over there when we traveled there but we would not be able to be that far away from Family so that keeps us here...that and we can't speak the language!!:lmao:
Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip and hope that you write a trip report from your upcoming trip. Hope you and Grumpy have a great time at the Poly!
 
i'm late to the party, but wanted to chime in to sat that i'm really enjoying your report. i have to admit that i'm sad that i'll be in disney after you. i'd totally want to meet!

i will however be in univeral studios & sea world this coming weekend.

your relationship with your mom and sis sound like mine. i could have fun with my mother if we were locked in a jail cell. i could murder my sister if i have to spend more then 3 hours in a row with her. we definately get along better from far away.
 
WOW!! This thing has EXPLODED!!! You have over 108,000 views.

"So, what did she say?"

What do I tell her ???

"Let's go to the Outlets. We can spend that extra money at Coach.They don't deserve a cruise."

Grumpy asks me again what she said, and I tell her. She's fuming. I call the front desk and ask if we can still have breakfast at Maya Grill (it's past 11 now). I'm told that yes, if we go now, we can still do that. So we leave right away.

Maya Grill is a nice place. Not very interesting,but the food was good and we had a really nice server. Grumpy went to get fruit and the glass around the buffet was so clean, she didn't see it. She leaned over and smacked her forehead right on it. I thought I was going to wet my pants!!!!!!

After breakfast we hopped on a cab and went over to Premium Outlets. Straight to Coach. Grumpy found a great purse and I made her buy the matching wristlet. I found a smaller purse too. We were pretty happy !! When Grumpy was at Guess I went to KB Toys to buy myself a Webkinz. Been dying for one! They had a whole stand of Hannah Montana stuff and I couldn't resist... I bought myself a Miley doll and HM Magic 8 Ball. Then when I went to the Character Premiere outlet I found the HM memo board I'd wanted at the Emporium the night before.. except it was $6.99 instead of $20 !!! I also couldn't resist and bought a Safari Stitch backpack for $7, and several picture frames from the Beach Club and Poly for under $5 each.

This Disney outlet is awesome. They always have great deals, so if you want to buy cheaper Disney stuff, head there!

Last stop for me was Claire's. There again, Hannah Montana was everywhere. Grumpy shook her head and gave me the evil eye as I selected several HM lip glosses, cosmetic cases, pens and hair accessories.

"When are you ever going to wear this ?? People are gonna think you're crazy!"
"I am crazy.They already know that and it has nothing to do with earrings."

Usually we go to Nike and Timberland to buy stuff for Jessi, but we sure as heck were not going to do that today. Besides, we'd been at the Outlets for just over two hours and had already spent over $1000. It was time to cool off.

I did want to go to that shop call Big Dogs where they sell silly T-Shirts you can't wear anywhere. They had a sale and we did buy Jessi two shirts.

One had a dog lying on a hammock and snoring.
We thought it was the perfect gift for her.

Since we'd ran out of money, we took a cab back to Coronado. Between breakfast and shopping, we'd been gone about four hours. I was wondering what the girls had done.

We had a late ADR at Boma that night and I had hoped that we could swing by AK before that and maybe catch Festival of the Lion King, but knew it was a long shot.

I opened our door and did a double take. There was mess on the floor !! Didn't Housekeeping come to clean our room ??

Oh, they'd come all right. But Stitch had escaped!!!!!!

We were in stitches :) It was too cute !!!

Jessi & Alex heard us laugh and came out to see what was so funny. They thought the Stitch "escape" was hilarious too.

"So what did you guys do ?"

They were at Coronado Springs Resort with one of the best pools on property. They had tickets with hoppers and could have gone to any park. They had entries to Disney Quest or a water park. They had money on a gift card to go shop in Downtown Disney.

"We found those great wicker chairs outside by the lake and had a nap outside."
 
Love the Stitch pics, what a fun Mousekeeper you had.

The t-shirt you got Jessi had me :rotfl2: laughing so hard my DD came out of her room to see what was so funny. Thanks for another great update.
