Watch Out, World! Dawn & Mel in da (Mouse) House!~~ New 8/31 ~~

[HomeschoolMama]

Thanks for coming by, everyone!

I'll try to write some more tonight. This is on the DL, remember? It's hard to write when hubby's around!

Don't rush me! Geez...

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Oh, what to do? What to do?

Time to make some ADRS!


I knew I wanted to plan a nice dinner. K's bday is the actual travel date, so I started trying to find somewhere to eat. There isn't a lot left when it's less than 3 months until your trip.

My choices were Kona, Cali Grill, or Narcossee's at 8:50pm. Wishes is at 8pm that night, so I wasn't really into that late of a dinner.

I ended up with an ADR at 6:10pm for Grand Floridian Cafe. The steak looks good and I knew that's what hubby would order.


As I was flitting around on the computer, I realized that my good friend, and favorite Disney Mom's Panel Member, DisneyJo would be in town from across the pond the same weekend we would be in town! I shot her an e-mail asking her if she wanted to get together. We decided on a Kona breakffast and invited Angela too.

It's a date!!!

Woooohooooo I'm so excited to be meeting you at long last

Introducing... Mel!!!!!


Tah-dah!!!!
She's been begging me to introduce her. So, this is Mel and me enjoying a beverage in Epcot.

She's my buddy. We met on the boards here and Mel loved me so much she flew to WDW to meet me and the family in March. We spent 4 days of heaven together skipping and holding hands. We ate gummy worms in the tunnels of Three Cabarreros...
She loves my family, so she's on my BFFs list now. She earned it.

When I decided to go to WDW, I instantly texted Mel to see if her and Bob would like to join us.
I'm happy to say that they are, and I'm expecting her to help me here.

So, post away, Mel-ita!


​

 

[Muffinygood]

HEY! That's me!

(Oh, and Dawn too.....)

She's right. I flew to WDW in March (after just returning from a family visit in late January) so that I could meet Dawn. Her family is so wonderful. So amazing! So gorgeous! I adore her children. I also adore her husband. He didn't want to hug me when we met. He did though. Many, many times. LOL.
I'm like that. People meet me and they just want to HUG me. It's true.

So, anyway. I asked NotBob if he wanted to fly to FL in September and meet my friends. He's pretty supportive and hardly ever says, "No" about stuff unless he HAS to. So, he was up for it.
Mainly it was the "drinking around the World" that won him over though.

Have I told this story? When NotBob and I were there in January with my two boys he attempted the "drink around the world." In an hour.
It wasn't pretty. I was afraid I'd have to carry him to the Disney Bus.

This trip will be much better.
We'll have all day to drink around the world.
What's your favorite drink in the World Showcase?

Let us know and it will go on the list.

MEL

 

[Muffinygood]

I held hands with C, B and even A. I did NOT hold hands with Dawn.

Just so you know.

MEL

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Yes, because we want to be fair to everyone. We're generous that way.

MEL

Liar.

 

[Muffinygood]

Ways that Dawn and Mel are alike....

1. We both like tea in the morning.
2. we are both ladies of leisure. (LB's)
3. I can't go to sleep after watching something scary without seeing something funny or
light-hearted for 5 mins or so. Dawn too!
4. OCD. Yeah.
5. Love Disney. (Dawn too, obviously)
6. Neither of us can stand mispellings, typographical errors and bad punctuation.
7. We both married sweet guys. Good thing.
8. Can't stand Riuniti.
9. would rather eat at PF Changs than almost anywhere
10. Go "off duty" in Mom-land at 8 pm every evening. (That's 9pm EST)
11. We both LOVE scallops

Ways that Dawn and Mel are different....

1. I hate dogs
2. I don't go to church. My mother told me it would fall in on me. LOL
3. Dawn's a yeller. I'm a door slammer.
4. Freaky Friday is just a movie at Dawn's house. LMBO.
5. Texas. Michigan. Not alike.
6. Dawn says "Y'all" and "All Y'all"
7. She can dance.
8. She has a brother. I have a sister. They're both PITA's though, so maybe that's an "alike?"
9. I'm afraid of sharks. She's afraid of trees.
10. I cook.
11. Her hair is curly.


We're different but we're still friends. However, if she liked Riuniti that would probably be a deal breaker.

[DisneyJo]

You guys are too funny, so can I still be your friend even though I don't drink tea????

 

[jcc0621]

And how about me since I am such a terrible typer

BTW: My drink for Mel's travels around the world is......

the monster beer everyone had at Fockerfest least year. You know the one Mel, the huge one. I think the mug was bigger than my head.

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Of course, Jo! We love you!
I like hot tea, but I like coffee in the morning better. Cold tea is what I'm always drinking. It's 104 here. We don't do hot right now!

Good drink choice!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Sorry for all the name changes and adding to the intro, etc.

With Mel and Bob coming on the trip, things are certain to get crazy fun, so I wanted to make sure and add them. Now we're settled!

 

[jcc0621]

104 Yes, but is it sweet tea?

We love you too, Janet!

Good drink choice!

and Let's put it this way, Jim who is 6 ft and 200 hundred pounds was feeling no pain after rinking 2/3's of it. Would you like me to post the picture of flat Dawn with said beer mug?

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

MEL

But it tastes so good! Ruiniti's so nice.

 

[KatGarcia]

I am putting in a galss of Rosa Regale from Italy

or

The Peach Snap from the tea cart in China

Yes. We have made an exception for you only. If any other PRETEND Brits come along though, they are not allowed in.

Are you saying that me *attempting* this will be funny?

Yeah. It probably will.
