*UPDATED* PrinceSton/Meets his future SIL (see post #34)

[rhyeck]

Let me begin by saying…
This pre-trip report will be like none you’ve ever read.

Check out the Cast:
Hi, my name is PrinceSton. I am a Bean Bag Frog. Yes, I said FROG. Now, before you hit the ‘back’ button or the little red ‘X’ in the upper right corner… Please give me the chance to share MY perspective on the World (Walt Disney World that is…).

Look at me… I am SO handsome! Like my hat? CKay made it for me…

Background about me… CKay (my travel companion) purchased me at Target. I was lying in a clearance bin looking up at her with my little black beady eyes (yes, my eyes are little black beads – no pun intended!). She said to me, “Do you wanna go to Walt Disney World with me?” Our eyes met and we had an immediate connection! Plus, what bean bag frog wouldn’t want to go to WDW?? Did I mention I was cheap? I was only 62¢ (plus tax)… I’m worth much more than that. In fact, I am invaluable to CKay now. She and I have a very ‘special’ human/frog relationship.

CKay is taking me with her to keep her company on her first SOLO trip to WDW. She originally had fears of being alone. But, little does she know… she will NEVER be alone. One, she will be at WDW for goodness sakes!! I don’t think it is possible to be alone there… Duh!! Two, I will be staying with her the ENTIRE time… 24/7. Lucky me!!

Here’s CKay hugging Mickey!!

I love this picture of CKay hugging Mickey Mouse!! Now, the guy on the right is KScott (her DH) … I will talk more about him later. He is the ONLY thing that stands in my way of ‘getting closer’ to CKay. I plan on stealing her heart during this SOLO trip (*shh* don’t tell anyone!). Hopefully after WE (CKay & I) spend a week together… she will say to KScott, “Sayonara KScott! Adios DH! Smell yah later Hubby! PrinceSton, you and I will be together forever!!”

The dates we will be at WDW are… Sunday, September 5th thru Saturday, September 11th. We will be flying into Orlando (MCO), using Magical Express and staying on property. I am too excited!

Since this is CKay’s first SOLO trip, we’ve (well, actually CKay) decided we would try to attend the Mo-Jee-Toe Mission (drink around the monorail) on Sunday, Sept 5th, so we can meet people from the DISboards! And… on Labor Day, we are going to meet up with CKay’s sister and her family for tea at the Grand Floridian!!! Other than that? We have no plans… just the two of us spending ‘quality time’ together in the Parks and the Resort.

Stay tuned…

Sounds like fun. Have a great time.

Hello! PrinceSton here…

So, the countdown to WDW has begun. CKay says, “In 12 days we will be at Walt Disney World!” Hum… I wonder how long that is in ‘frog’ years? Does anyone out there know?

You should see our front spare bedroom… she has set up a ‘staging area’ for her SOLO trip. Are you kidding me? Humans actually have areas they pack before they pack? Holy cow! Did I mention her clothes have been here (ironed & folded) since August 14th?

Notice the handsome green frog lying on the bed? (to the left of the pink notebook) That sexy bean bag frog is ME!

CKay has started making a spreadsheet with a ‘schedule’ of times for the Parks, parades and fireworks. She is an Accountant and VERY organized. She showed me the ‘schedule’. I don’t see anything about RESTING or NAPPING for the entire week we are there. Is that even possible?

Oh NO! This has got to be a bad dream… she has been busy making me more hats to wear at the Parks. Please tell me… is forcing a bean bag frog to wear silly hats illegal? If not, it should be. Maybe I need to contact PETA… see what my rights are. Here is a picture of the latest fedora she has made. This is SO embarrassing…

Happy Easter! UGH. It’s August. Are you kidding me? Bunny ears?

I overheard a conversation between CKay and KScott (her DH)... she said something about us ‘going commando’ on Wednesday or Thursday to see how many Parks and rides we can hit within one day. Does this mean we won’t be wearing underwear? Commando?? She will probably go sans underwear and I will be still stuck wearing a stupid hat!

Well, KScott keeps telling CKay, “I am going to miss you while you’re at Disney World.” Boo-hoo. Yeah right. He’s really going to miss her AFTER we get back from Disney World! Cause I am going to steal her heart! She’s going to kick KScott to the curb and want to be with ME ME ME!!! Just wait… you’ll see!

One last thing… I thought I would share some of my knowledge about frogs… Kermit has a TV Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame located at 6801 Hollywood Blvd.

Stay tuned…

Have fun and I am signing on for this trip report Should be very........entertaining

 

[princessbride6205]

Sounds great - looking forward to reading.

Aye Matey ~ Cap’n PrinceSton here...

You guys are NOT going to believe this… I LOVE me new hat AND I can speak like a pirate! ARG….!

CKay has made thee a gorgeous pirate hat to add to me collection. I have never been happier in me life! I look so good… and SO masculine! In fact, I think my voice is even an octave lower now. Listen to this, “Arg! Wench, bring me another grog… now!” Well? Well? Don’t you agree? At LEAST one octave lower!

Me favorite part of me new hat is the Jolly Roger on the front. I look SO intimidating! Arg!

So, that is enough about me hat and me pirate talk! Let’s get back to me report…

CKay found out (by reading another SOLO thread on the DISboards, Thanks Hucifer!) that when you are SOLO… there is no one there to put sunscreen on your back. So, CKay bought some spray-on sunscreen for her body and a lotion for her face. She also purchased a cheap shower cap to put on her head while she sprays herself down! Wish her luck everyone!

Here are the two sunscreens she will be using. I hope these work… she burns easily. (ouch!)

We’re staying at a ‘moderate’ resort (whatever that is). CKay is going to fax her room requests. She would like an upper floor so there will be less people walking by her room. Hum… I guess as a human traveling SOLO you think about these types of things. Me? If I were traveling alone… I would want on the first floor next to the POOL!! See, there is a better chance of meeting ‘females of my own species’. AND I could make CKay jealous!

I am really extra excited about going to WDW now!!! I heard CKay talking to her mom on the phone. She mentioned ME! I never heard her say ONE SINGLE WORD about KScott (her DH… the guy who has NO clue I am going to steal his wife). CKay is even going to print out MY reports and mail them to her parents. I am IN like Flynn with her folks!! They have never met me and are already in LOVE with me!!

One last thing... more of my frog knowledge… The scientific name for a green frog is Rana clamitans.

Stay tuned…

 

[adsrtw]

I love the rabbit ears! See you in a few days!

 

[rhyeck]

Howdy There DISers… PrinceSton here…

Well? CKay’s been busy making hats again. Check this hat out… I refuse to wear the Sheriff’s hat in public! One, it will make me seem like I am a ‘good’ guy… when we all know of my diabolical plan to get a married woman to fall in love with me. A ‘good’ guy wouldn’t do that! Two, it makes my butt look BIG!! Seriously, look at this picture… I look like a cow!

A good sound affect for this picture? MOOing. “*Moo*Moo*”

To refresh your memory… CKay is an Accountant. She has calculated that she can buy a refillable mug cheaper than purchasing her coffee daily. Plus, she will fill it up with pop or Gatorade and leave in the refrigerator for when she returns from the Parks each day. She is SUCH a penny pincher (one of the many reasons I love her)!!! Apparently, she has done this in the past and really SAVED tons o’ money! Cha-ching!

Meet Winston… the dog. CKay and KScott (her DH… boo-hiss) have a dog. His name is Sir “Winston” Churchhill. Now this dog and I have clicked! I love the attention that he is giving me. I was always afraid of dogs, but this one is pretty special! CKay and KScott brag because he knows 17 tricks! Whoo-Hoo… BIG deal. I am not too impressed with this… seeing that I am a bean bag frog that can type and give my pre-trip report to you guys! Now that is a BIG deal!!

Not ONLY is he CUTE!! His hair is SOFT too… kinda like my little Princess CKay’s hair!!

In reviewing CKay’s schedule… I think we may be late getting to the Mo-Jee-Toe Mission. The Mission begins at 3:30PM and our flight doesn’t get into MCO until 1:00P (if there are no delays). I think it will be a marathon of sorts trying to get to the first stop (Polynesian). We are using ME, need to pick up Park tickets at the resort, catch a bus to MK and then jump onto the monorail. Hum… fingers crossed...

OMG! I JUST found out... and HAPPY to announce… there are NO FROGS in Frogmore Stew!

Stay tuned…

 

[MomlvsGoofy]

Very cute so far! Can't wait to read more.

 

[rhyeck]

Have fun and I am signing on for this trip report Should be very........entertaining

Howdy nmoore14 ~ I DO plan on having fun... the unsuspecting CKay has NO idea what she is in for I will be posting one more update Thursday... then I am off to WDW!

Stay tuned...

 

[rhyeck]

I love the rabbit ears! See you in a few days!

So, you LOVE the rabbit ears... you must be a woman!! I can't imagine a man liking them. There are 2 things that KScott (CKay's DH) and I agree on... We BOTH think the bunny ears are silly and we both love CKay!! Other than that? We don't agree on ANYTHING!

Looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the crew on the Mission... sounds like tons o' fun!!

 

[rhyeck]

Very cute so far! Can't wait to read more.

Hey MomlvsGoofy ~ Thanks for the compliment!! I can't wait to write more!! I will be doing my final pre-trip report update on Thursday. Next thing you know I will be on a plane with CKay and we'll be on our romantic trip for 2!!

 

[rhyeck]

Sounds like fun. Have a great time.

I plan on having as much fun as possible!! We'll be @ WDW in 4 days 20 hours and 49 minutes... but who's counting!

 

[rhyeck]

Sounds great - looking forward to reading.

Good Morning princessbride6205 ~ Glad you are looking forward to reading my pre-trip report. Just wait until I start writing my post-trip report!! I will be writing about how much fun I had wooing MY "Princess Bride"... the innocent CKay!

 

[rhyeck]

It is me… PrinceSton (Traveler Extraordinaire)…

Well, it is Thursday… and as promised… here is your final "pre"-trip report!

CKay told me that I am packed and ready to go go go! The ‘staging area’ now has my luggage (a plastic container). What could you possibly pack for a bean bag frog?? Oh, nevermind… it’s HATS… of course!

Can you believe we will be @ WDW in only 3 days? This is like a dream (a good dream this time, no hats involved )! I am MOST looking forward to one-on-one time with CKay. Neither she nor her DH suspect a thing! They have NO clue of my love for her and my evil plan to steal her heart!!

Well, I know you are eagerly awaiting my latest lid… Ta-Da!

I feel *Fantasmic!*!! My VERY OWN Sorcerer’s Hat …

CKay and I (mostly CKay…) have been researching different things to do while at EPCOT. Did you know each country has its own entertainment? For example: United Kingdom (a.k.a. UK)… band/The British Invasion, World Showcase Players/Improv troupe and entertainer @ the Pub/the “Hat Lady” (did I just say the 3 letter word HAT?). The “British Invasion”… they sing songs by the Beatles. Their picture reminds me of a band called The Monkees. “Improv troupe”, my guess is they perform a skit and embarrass innocent bystanders/audience members as they watch. And last but not least, The “HAT Lady”. I will not say anything else about her, since part of her name is H.A.T. … it makes me uncomfortable just thinking about her name…

While I am on the topic of entertainment… We are thinking about going to either Jellyrolls or Port Orleans/Riverside to see Yehaa BOB. BOB sounds like a man’s name… the only MAN I want CKay to think about it ME ME ME! So, my suggestion will be Jellyrolls… enough said.

I am thinking about getting a tattoo. CKay says, “NO! Absolutely not.” But, I did hear her talking to KScott (her DH… old what’s his name) about writing my name on my foot… in case she loses me. Wouldn’t writing on one's foot with a Sharpie be like getting a tattoo?? Silly humans… Looks like I ‘may’ be getting a tattoo!

Well? I just found out that KScott (you know… CKay’s DH) will be the one to take us to the airport. WHY!? Because he wants more time with her before she leaves. Puke. Seriously? We could drive ourselves and park at the airport for $8.00 a day. I would rather do that. He is taking ‘quality time’ away from CKay and ME!!!!

Lastly, today’s frog fact… The longest frog jump on record measured 33 feet 5.5 inches. It was made by a frog named Santjie at a frog derby in South Africa.

Stay tuned…

 

[Tinkerkell123]

Subbing and can't wait to hear more! LOVE the latest... Ssshhhhh! Hat. Hope I didn't say the dreaded word too loudly! If you plan to steal CKay away from her DH doesn't work out, maybe you could come on our cruise in January to soothe your broken heart. I have a cute little frog I could hook you up with. She loves a man in a h... Well, you know!

Y'all have fun!

 

[rhyeck]

Tinkerkell123 ~

You're NOT going to believe this... CKay thinks she knows you!! She mentioned Wexford Sound and something about 'living across the street from you'? What a small pond we live in!

Please note * I will consider the cruise in January... even if things DO work out with CKay. You know of my 'bad boy' reputation... I may tell her I have to 'go out of town' and go on the cruise any way!

Stay tuned...

 

[Tinkerkell123]

Oh, my gosh! I thought you looked familiar! Indeed a small pond! How are things in the old neighborhood? I bet you have a great time with the pond and marshes...

 

[rhyeck]

Still lovin' the 'hood... ponds and marshes are wonderful as always. The 'hood ain't the same without you and the gang...

I saw you have a trip report in your signature... I will read what you guys have been up to!!

You need to send me some pictures of this 'frog' you mentioned. Is she green? Is she a bean bag too? Does she fit in a purse? What's her name... let me guess ... Princess!? Are you sure she likes hats ? If so, she's gonna love my trip report. CKay made more... just for the Parks!

Stay tuned...

 

[Tinkerkell123]

Hi PrinceSton! My name is Jessica and I am (as you can see) very excited to meet you!

I am not a beanbag, but I do fit in a purse and I do indeed LOVE hats! Being a girl, I am of course, pink... I hope you and CKay have a great time and I can't wait to read all about your trip and see your new hats!
