Thumping Our Way Through Disneyland.

[pkondz]

I should have stuck with working on the chapter :-(.

That'll learn ya!

 

[Thumper_Man]

It's quiet.... too quiet.....

Yeah, no kidding.

They have time to go to a casino this weekend but not to update!!!

Yeah. What's up with that? Don't they know we're waiting to hear the end about their last day at Disneyland.

We'll get to it eventually. Another part of the reason that it's quiet around here is because a majority of the people that follow us here, also follow a more popular TR writer. So everybody converses over there instead of here. Even if he hasn't posted a chapter for months now, I think it's natural that everybody naturally flocks to that thread.

That's ok though. It's lonely in the desert. We're used to it by now. The burden of trying to keep this almost dead in the dry desert heat thread is almost over. Soon the buzzards will feast on our carcasses and this thread will be nothing more but dust in the wind.

No buzzards will be feasting. Just write the next chapter already. Please.

Apparently Mr. Pkondz is questioning over on another TR that there is apparently this castle worth $5,000. Apparently I need to set the record straight here. It is actually worth $6,800. I was apparently a tad bit off, so now we know the exact price.

How do we know you ask? Good question. You can buy this castle from the online Disney Store.

Here is the picture I took:


Here's the link to buy it: Small Castle You can see for yourself that I'm apparently telling the truth now.

Since I am making clarifications on the prices of the castles, I need to clarify that I was WAY OFF on the price for the larger castle displayed in the window. I stated earlier I thought it was about $10,000. It is actually $37,500. You can also buy this from the online Disney Store.

Once again, here's the pictures I took:




Here is the link for the Disney Store: Large Castle

There's only 50 of these available, so you better buy yours now while you can.

Inflation.

You asked about memories of the park when it opened - I don't but DH grew up spending his Summers down there, and his uncle was born the year Disney opened so they remember the "early days" with the ticket books. He said it was a big deal if Grandpa would give them a dollar so they could get extra rides! I guess the old fashioned FP uber users!

Yeah, but not ALL of us. So git crackin!!

As much as I love those trip reports, they move too fast now. I was always falling behind, but after our 9 days in the World in March, I came back to find I was 20 pages behind. By the time I caught up on all the my other favorite threads (sorry Neebs, you're not the only one!) I was 25 pages behind, I've read a bit, but now I'm still falling back a bit, currently 30 pages back.

And you just know that his thread is like a Nascar race, despite all the noise and excitement, everyone really just goes to watch their hero crash...

Did you hear that Lady H?

As much as I love those trip reports, they move too fast now. I was always falling behind, but after our 9 days in the World in March, I came back to find I was 20 pages behind. By the time I caught up on all the my other favorite threads (sorry Neebs, you're not the only one!) I was 25 pages behind, I've read a bit, but now I'm still falling back a bit, currently 30 pages back.

I think part of the reason why people try to do them so fast is because they still remember all the details. Even the little details that made the trip extra special or a little less enjoyable. As time drags on, you start to forget them and then it becomes a cookie cutter TR. Lady H and I have both experienced this. We are often referring to our notes, the pictures we took and asking each other what we did, where did we go from there, etc. I think we're finding it exceptionally difficult as well because after our trip to DL, we took a trip to WDW 3 months later. We often find ourselves getting the 2 trips a little mixed up.

I believe Nebo said it best, you try not to go to fast so everyone can keep up; but at the same time, you don't want to go to slow and lose everybody. Lady H has been busier at work than I have been, but my busy time is coming up as well. Hopefully she'll get to the next chapter soon. She's going to take you through our time at DCA and I'll finish up the TR from there.

Thanks for the story. It's funny to hear how things happened in the old days. All us Disneyholics can't seem to get enough of the rides in. Well most of Disneyholics anyways. I know there are plenty people who can do without.

Obviously Disco isn't dead...and neither is this thread.

I'm working on the next chapter I promise. I ran into a snag at work and have been desperately trying to keep myself afloat on this project I'm running. After approximately 4 mini breakdowns and have probably been considered for a nice pretty white jacket from my co-workers and possibly from my poor husband who has had to endure the wrath of my frustrations over everything. I'm hoping that I will have some time to complete the chapter soon. Thank you all for sticking around and waiting I really appreciate it. We both do.

Don't let her fool you, she had access to the computer all weekend to work on it. She chose to go get her hair and nails done instead.

Really? You're gonna go there? I had to get my hair and nails done for my date that night.

Who with? :

 

[Thumper_Man's Wife]

Who with? :

Just some guy I met about 10 years ago. He asked me to go to the movies with him to watch Iron Man 3.

There was still time to write for your fans.
