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

[karajeboo]

We're bringing 2 big duffle bags this time, but we'll probably need a 3rd

Hey, just doing our best to help the economy, ya know ???

And we thank you for it! As you know, we need the help right now!

Seriously, another nap??? Sounds like you and Grumpy needed a nap after all that shopping - talk about shop til you drop!!!

"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!!!!!! "

This had me laughing so hard! Then as I was reading others quoting it I laughed harder. Then I remembered my friend ran right into a glass door one time and my other friend and I laughed so hard, we forgot to ask if she was allright. She's still mad at us 20 years later!!

Thanks for the laughs!

Hope you and Grumpy have a great trip! Lord knows, you both deserve it!

(and, btw, I totally "get" the HM obsession; I love her too but have a 12 yr. old daughter I can blame it on! )

Oh, I've heard horrible things about it I'm going at the exact same time as you and I'm not eating there. I definitely think you should cancel your ADR. Just make sure you PM me right before you do it and be sure to include your ADR time and date - just cause I like to know these things . Remember, you have to PM me RIGHT before you call . Looking forward to hearing from you

Marina, I LOVE your trip report!!! I can't wait until you come back again and write another - although, truthfully, I'll miss Jessie in it

Your too much....I guess this is a hard one to get...I should be thankful to the great and mighty ADR diety.... Now if only the great and mighty house diety could get my home sold we would be set.

I'm not worthy

 

[MeMom]

Very cute! Just makes you smile to see that the little guy had such a good time while you were gone. This kind of fun is one of the many reasons we are sold on Disney.

From one pooh to another ( although I prefer to think of myself as more of a supersized tink ) Target has a great selection of plus clothes

See, I am still trying to sell the Target idea, but also be sure to check Macy's they are having a great summer sale and I am willing to bet you can do even better there then at Wally World or Target combined. They have a 4.99 rack, a 9.99 rack and a 12.99 rack and if you stop by customer service you can probably score a 20% coupon... I told you I have way to much time on my hands... I am not sure if there is a Bloomigdales at the Florida mall but my understanding is they are also having an incrediable sale, my mom just shipped 2 boxes of clothes for my son from there She filled 2 suitcases as well

Either way have a great trip and enjoy every minute no matter where you end up shopping!

Thanks Jenna ! I love that so many people read my TR !!!
Got to admit.. I'm a Walmart girl. Kmart too. But I need to buy some cheap clothes (I work in gas station right now, anything that costs less than $20 and can be thrown in the machine 3 times a week will do.) and Walmart has nice clothes in plus sizes. I've been to Target a few times though and it's a good store - then again I love pretty much any American store.I'm the only person in the whole world who can't tell the difference between a screwdriver and a hammer yet can have a ball at Home Depot for five hours.

Have a great trip! Can you post one more update before you leave? Please?? We will miss you here!!!

Your sister's companion trip report: "Napping around Disney-No Alcohol Required!"

Oh man, what gave it away? I was too eager wasn't I - I knew I should have played it cooler. You know, gotten to know you a little better through PM and then eased into it. Oh well, note to self - stalk the next person for a while first and then get their ADR

Good luck on selling your house! I know the market's not great right now, and I'm sure things are stressful, so I don't begrudge you your great ADR one little bit Have fun!!

"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.

Please tell me that was sarcastic!! Were you really wondering or were you hoping beyond hope that they had actually DONE something?!!!

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 !!!

I LOVE that! Mousekeeping is one of my faves!! I love the fact that Disney lets them be creative!!!

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."

WOW!! I didn't know that with all the great furniture you French people have that ya'll didn't have great wicker chairs!!! Good thing ya'll brought them to Disney or those 2 chairs might have never been discovered!!! And just think what those 2 girls would have missed out on!!1 I am so glad they FINALLY got to rest their behinds! I was getting a little worried that all that action they were doing was going to wear them out!!

I had to come out of lurkdom on this. You are a great writer and I'm glad that you and your mom are going just the 2 of you! I know you love your sister and it was sweet what ya'll were trying to do. But that just proves a pint when people aren't working for something tey don't really know how to enjoy it right. That doesn't mean that no one should be given a trip. I know a family of 4 myself that would LOVE to go to the orld agin. Payed for!! We'd *ahem* I mean THEY would gladly follow your lead just to go agian!!!

We went on a wish trip totally paid for and Loved every min of it. We probably should have spent more time resting, but we did that when we got home!!!!

I think if Jessi and Alex were busting their tails off to feed and clothe and pay thier bills then when something like this was given to them they might appreciate it mor. I have to say I don't think I could ever do something like this again unless there is a major attitude and work change! I was in shock that ya'll bought her shirts after that!! Does she ever act like she appreciates all that ya''ll do for her or is she always like this???

At first I thought maybe Jessi and ALex got pissed and did this ...no it was that naughty Stitch!

CUTE!


Have a great trip!

Marina,
I am still fairly new to these boards as our very 1st trip will be next year- Yours is the first trip report I have ever read and although I feel deep sympathy for you over the absolute horrid actions of your sister (I know you love her but, My Gosh!) I am in deep suspense and have stayed up til It's 3:30 AM!! I have to be up for work at 7 AM! Also, I am totally blown away by your trip this time and the conversation of others in the past and more to come (very soon I understand) - Here in USA a gas station attendant, I Know doesn't make enough to travel like you do! Our dollar must be very weak indeed but I saw the dollar amounts you posted- WOW! Is still all I can say! You also write very well and should look into it- I have a minor in creative writing and you really have talent! I work in a very different field than what my education took me in and I do very well but it has always been my dream to write and one day I know I will have the time to actually make it happen. Kudos to you! I will be keeping up with this post and I definitely have to go back and check others you have written. I hope your trip in a few days is a great hit and you have everything perfect! You deserve it!

That is just so cute!!!!

I enjoyed reading your trip report so much, it made me laugh out loud a bunch of times, you are a great writer. I never knew someone can nap so much
I hope under the circumstances you still had a good time. I look forward to reading more.

 

[toostsmom]

Hope you and Grumpy have a great time at the Poly! It's my dream resort... someday

 

[MainStMandy]

Wow I was getting worried that the newest installment wouldn't include Jess and Alex sleeping...Phew.

They must be the two most rested people on Earth! Have a great trip too!! Can't wait to read more!

Sorry, I just had to chime in here! Love your trip report, you've been keping me and DD9 in "stitches" with each report! You have become my DD's idol! Between Shopping for Hannah Montana, and then Webkins, she wishes you were her aunt! Enjoy your trip, we'll be down there in less than a month! Thanks for keeping us up to date!

Hi there, thanks for reading !
Let me reassure you - I didn't pay for this trip with the money I made at the gas station. Oh boy. I only make something like $1200 a month there (not complaining - it's good money for 30 hours a week and full health benefits). But I had another job as a school secretary at the time, plus some savings. Grumpy paid for the most of the trip, basically I paid for my flight, half of Alex's, and our POP rooms. The rest was Grumpy's hard earned money.

You guys are so sweet telling me I write well, but I guess I don't see it ? Maybe it's because this time, for once, I had something interesting to talk about

Just back from work and have to finish packing but I'll finish up the TR tonight, hopefully. We're almost at the end of our Disney stay

Don't tell her.. but besides Hannah Montana , Stitch and Webkinz, I also have a strange fascination with Strawberry Shortcake.
It's a sickness, really.

I promise...it's not just that you had something interesting to write about. I went back and read your previous trip reports. Your humor is just as evident in those as it is in this one.

Although this TR is coming to an end - I will def be in on the beginning of the next one!
