Too Far Down is the song, don't know who does it

[DebbieT11]

When I hear a snippet of a song, and TBG wants me to get it for him, I just google "lyrics bounce dat azz" or whatever it was..... works for me!

My kids love going to the Web, and they keep track of their passwords by writing them on Post-it notes. I noticed their Disney password was "MickeyMinnieGoofyPluto," and so I asked why it was so long. "Because," my son explained, "they say it has to have at least four characters."






Patient: "Doctor, you've got to help me, some mornings I wake up and think I'm Donald Duck, other mornings I think I'm Mickey Mouse."
Doctor: "Hmmmmmmm, and how long have you been having these disney spells?"








The dumbest questions ever asked to Cast Members



· What time is the 3:00 parade?
· What time will it stop raining?
· Why is it raining?
· Is the wait really 15 minutes, or are you trying to trick us?
· How do I get to Magic Mountain?
· How much extra do you get paid for smiling?



At the Disney-MGM Studios:
. How come there aren't any rides here?
. Where do they show all the movies?
. Where is the Castle?
. Is Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?



At the Hollywood Tower of Terror:
. Is it a real hotel? How much does it cost to stay there?
. This is just a simulator, right? We didn't really fall, did we?
. Was that the real MGM Studios we saw when those doors opened, or a model?
. I just ate, like, food, you know. Will I be okay?
. What is this ride really like? What happens? Are those real people in there?



GUEST: I just want to take my grandson to Disney World. I don't want to go to Epcot or anything. Just Disney World.
CM: Well, Disney World is the name of the whole resort. I believe the park you're thinking of is the Magic Kingdom.
GUEST: No, I don't want to go to the Magic Kingdom. I just want to go to Disney World.
CM: You mean the park with the castle, right?
GUEST: Yeah, Disney World
CM: Yes, ma'am, that's the....yes, that's Disney World. We sell four-day hoppers, five-day hoppers....

May I give it a try? My DH's favorite band...

Oh i miss the kiss of treachery the aching kiss
Before i feed the stench of a love for a younger
Meat and the sound that it makes when it cuts
In deep the holding up on bended knees the
Addiction of duplicities as bit by bit it starts
The need to just let go my party piece

Not a "happy" song but gotta love the music.

We didn't want to go to Disney World, so we went to Epcot.

My hope… is you
Show me your ways
Guide me in Truth
In all my days
My hope is you



Now I'm off to be a rock star!

 

[clkelley]

Rainforest cafe....1 in DtD, 1 in Animal Kingdom.


:

Yep, that's true, but not what I was hunting for. I should have qualified. Disney-owned restaurants.

We're back from another weekend of camping. Highs in the mid 60's, mostly sunny with a couple of brief showers. We met some friends of ours who were camping for the first time with their new pop up. Had a great time

This is my favorite photo of the weekend. A little kayaking "oops", notice the WHITE pants and the kayak off in the distance !! My daughter was trying so hard to get out of the kayak without any help.....

 

[clkelley]

Sand Trap bar & grill. Eagle Pines & Osprey Ridge golf Course ?

Nope

 

[RvUsa]

Hey Shannone, Pens won!!! What's up with the wings? HMMM....

 

[clkelley]

Well I've had a fun day. It started out great. I was up in Nashville Indiana camping with a group of Teardrop Trailers. Packed up this morning and started home. I get about half way through Kentucky and my engine light comes on, then also my temperature gage starts going up. Uh oh. Fortunately, I was just at a rest stop exit so pulled off and parked. Open the hood, look around around and a hose is broken and lots of water all over the place. Yeah buddy.

So, I decided to put my Good Sam ERS to the test. I give them a call, and tell them the problem and where I'm at. They ask what I'm driving, what I'm towing, etc, and what seems to be the problem.

About two hours later, two trucks show up. One is to pull my truck to the nearest repair shop, and the other is to pull my camper and to deliver me to the nearest campground since nothing is open after 4pm on Sunday around here.

So here I sit in Cave City, KY at Cave Country Campground, right off I-65. My truck is sitting at the Chevy Dealer about 1/4 mile away waiting for them to open tomorrow morning. (Since it was a general problem, and not Ford specific, they felt the Chevy place could fix it.)

It is a VERY nice campground. It's only 3 years old and has all pull through sites with neatly manicured gravel. Free Wi-Fi, free cable, water, electric, sewer, and bath houses CLEANER than Ft. Wilderness. (I'm not faulting Ft. Wilderness, just that the bath houses at Ft. Wilderness are used a lot more than these are.) The landscaping is really nice, but very young, so very little shade.

So if anyone was doubting whether they need Good Sam ERS when pulling an RV, get it!!!!

Hey Shannone, Pens won!!! What's up with the wings? HMMM....

Hi John...I didn't get to watch the last two games...but I'm not worried !!

 

[Shannone1]

So if anyone was doubting whether they need Good Sam ERS when pulling an RV, get it!!!!

Thanks Carol !! We have it but we haven't had to use it yet. It's good to know they were there when you needed them.

 

[RvUsa]

Wow Carol, sorry to hear about your problem, but sounds like everything will be aok. Nice to know if GS works, thanks for reporting in. Hope you have a great night and an uneventful trip home tomorrow!

 

[DebbieT11]

Carol, glad to hear you're safe and sound..... hope it's an uneventful night and that your truck is repaired quickly and for a reasonable price.....

 

[terri01p]

Carol sorry to hear about your troubles....so what's the answer to your trivia ?

 

[LONE-STAR]

We saw IRON MAN good movie.

 

[clkelley]

I'll give one more hint on the trivia. One is at a moderate resort, the other at a DVC property.
