What if people were only as cool as their shoes? Dec09 TR. last hours at Disney pg19

I hope you did eventually find Donald duck on HM. It's on the chair to the left of that long hallway with the floating candles. It doesn't look like a traditional Donald. More of an Aztec Donald :laughing:

Sounds scary about the fight on the bus... I'm eager to hear about that one!

I agree about the changes to Space Mountain. Not really sure why they had to cover up the ceiling but whatever.

I wish I had the guts to talk back to people when they are blatantly talking about you Re: the table fiasco. Good on you girl :thumbsup2
 
Glad you told the rude family off! I'm not usually the type that will, but when I was at Disney I screamed at a woman at Hollywood studios. She was with her husband and son, who was about seven, in the baby care station just hanging out. Enjoying the ac, I guess. Well, my actual BABY was getting her diaper changed. She proceeded to say extremely loudly in her British accent "It smells like dirty knickers in here!" I was all ready having a rough day, and I screamed "Really? Dirty diapers in a BABY CENTER? You've got to be kidding me? What the ef do you think would be going on in a BABY CENTER!" Disney is not the place to piss me off. I called her a few choice words that I've never said in front of my girls and hope they were to imersed in the Disney magic to hear me.....:rolleyes1

I love the castle pic! I bet that is just amazing in person!

The fight on the bus scared me too, only because I was so wound up I about jumped into the middle of it, Marzi held me back.

I have a hard time keeping quiet when I think people are going over the top with their comments, it was obvious those people wanted me to know they were talking about me, if you're gonna say something loud enough for me to hear, then expect me to say something back. Kent doesn't like that I can be confrontational, but really I know my limit, I also know how to choose my battles wisely. A few years ago Kent and I were at WalMart, I wanted to cross over an aisle, there was a lady with a cart and I was waiting for her to pass but she kept stopping to look at stuff so I just crossed infront of her then, well she at the same exact time started moving again and nearly hit me with her cart, I said nothing, but she waited until I was about 30 feet away from her and yelled, "Excuse you!" I was livid, I turned around and went back towards her saying, "No, excuse you, you nearly hit me with your cart have some courtesy." Kent was grabbing my arm and pulling me back the lady is walking towards me telling me I was rude to cut her off.
"Dude!, you need to pay attention to whats infront of you, I waited for you to move your @$$, I couldn't wait for ever."

This woman starts cussing me like no other, making no sense at all with her cuss words, I started laughing then and just walked away. but Kent just hates that I will confront a-holes everytime.

You go girl! That would have ticked me off too, I mean seriously what are you supposed to do? let your baby sit in a dirty diaper until they decide to leave the place? I probably would have commented her back with , you think it smells like $h!t in here? could be your breath backing up on you!:confused3

The castle is amazing, and the pictures don't really show just how wonderful it is, it's pretty to look at but being there and seeing it brings out emotions, it's so majestic.
 
OMG, I loved your account of the Jersey girls at Casey's! :rotfl2: And that table-obssessed family behind you...:sad2:


Gotta go now, but I will update again in a day or so, what do you have to look forward to?
there was a fight on the bus, security was called.

Can't wait to hear all about it!
 

OMG I would have loved to have been your 5th wheel!!! You guys sound like a blast to hang out with! I loved the bit about the "biack" - I said it in my head just as it would be pronounced while reading! And... eww that leg. It had to have hurt you, cause my leg hurt for yours just looking at it!

I really like Pop, it's super Disneyfied, Maddy would really enjoy the bigger then life icons and all the bright colors, they have a kiddy pool but no slides or anything like that.
I would pay for a preffered room, the 60's by the hippy dippy pool is a great place, it's right by the pop shop and the buses. Hope it all works out for you, what are your dates?

We're going Sept 13-18! :thumbsup2 What are your dates? Little nervous for it being hurricane season, but - eh! :rolleyes:
 
I had Gustavo at Crystal Palace last March!! He was awesome and it was my sister's b-day. He brought out the cupcake and b-day card!!

About 3 days before our trip, I injured my leg. Thought nothing of it. It turned out I tore part of my calf muscle. I walked on it all week in Disney and it looked like a balloon. I'm reading your TR and feeling your pain. I remember how awful it was. I completely agree that I didn't notice it much at all when I was in the park, but the to and from the bus walks were murder.

We also stayed at POP!!

Our trips match up a lot!! :)
 
You are just crankin out the chapters girlie!

OMG! I think I know your ex's wife. How weird is that?

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED your rendition of the Jersey girls talking! And, I kept up.

I am so happy you said something to that rude family. I am high fiving you right now too! You go girl! My husband hates it when I do stuff like that too. They don't care what they say so why should I?

I can't wait to hear about the bus fight. Sounds fun.

Those Jersey girls were awesome, Marzi and I kept the accent going through the rest of our trip

We would have welcomed you as the 5th wheel too.
My leg...I don't even have words, it was just wierd.

My Disney dates now are sept25th-Oct3rd. I'm nervous for hurrican season too, I don't mind the rain, I just don't want major winds that pick me up and send me flying.

I really liked Gustavo, he was super friendly and took the time to talk to us about our vacation and what not.

YOu tore part of your calf muscle and thought nothing of it?! You must have a high tolerance for pain cause that had to hurt bad. But I guess it must be true that Disney has some medicinal power. The amount of walking we did I hardly ever felt pain. Too bad that power doesn't carry over to the buses though;) It's funny, you never see people lomping and dragging their feet in the parks, just only to the buses or back to their rooms.

I can't wait to hear about the bus fight. Sounds fun.

I am trying to get this TR done, there's so much to report on, it only gets better from here on out.
I can't wait to start my PTR for me and Kents trip, I don't know why tough, PTR's are never as good as a TR, I mean how many times can you get excited over buying new undies for a trip and reporting about it to all of the dis to read?

YOu know the ex's wife? I feel for you, I really do.

The Jersery Girls made made that line move faster, and then the restof the night/trip Marzi and I were all about the Jersey accent. "Hey Mahzi, griab the mustad."

Rude people! I have always defended myself to rude people! But do you know how hard it is to keep my mouth shut at work, I'm outgoing so customer service is a good job for me, but I can't stand rude people, I'm not allowed to "confront" rude customers either. But a few days before Christmas this lady came into the store and she was miserable, she looked constipated:headache:
Well one of the girls messed up on the gift card and accidentally put it in as cash, it would would have thrown her till of by $50 bucks, so I went over to show her how to do a tender exchange, not being a keyholder myself I had to then call a sup over to key turn it, the whole time this woman is going on and on about how incompetant and stupid we were, I finally told her to "stand there and shut up, not another word from you lady."
She tells me she had gone to 5 stores that day and had trouble at all 5 stores, so I told her it sounded like a personal problem.
Well she reported me to a manager, and I told the MOD , there isn't a job in the world that could pay me enough money to stand there and take the insults this woman was spewing. The MOD backed me and said we prefer our customers to not verbally attack our associates, their job is hard enough."

I was floored cause I thought for sure I was gettin fired that day. OK so then after work I run to walmart for a few last minute Christmas items, in line I realize I am behind that same woman from my store, and I knew she was going to give the cashier a hard time, and she did. I told that nasty lady "Obviously something is making your life suck and you feel the need to share it with everybody so you should do yourself and the rest of the world a favor and get some counseling."

 
So Marzi and I are leaving to headback to the resort, I honestly thought tht since there was another hour left of EMH the buses wouldn't be too crowded, I was soooooo wrong, we start making our way to our bus stop and the line is wrapped and intertwining way past the queoe. There's a CM standing there telling us to get in <---this line for Pop Century, it's not the bus stop for POP so we ask him if he is sure POP goes <----here, and he said they've had to open up another queo for pop cause it's so crowded, so we hop in that line, it's much shorter then the other line , buses keep pulling up and filling up and the line keeps getting longer behind us, the couple behind us was not happy with the situation at all, too many people, too long of a line, not enough buses etc...etc... I on the other hand thought they were doing an excellent job of getting people out of there, Pop buses were showing up left and right.
SO we finally get to the fron of the line, we were first to board the next bus coming, we would gt to sit. Well the bus pulls up and the lady behind me said "This is wrong, that bus says Pop Century." The doors open, Marzi and I get on and grab the first seats behind the driver, that way when there was standing room only we wouldn't have butts and crotches on our faces, or get smacked in the head with diaper bags, (we had time while in line to think this through)
We're getting all situated and then realize nobdy else has gottenon the bus yet, that couple was holding them up while arguing with the bus driver, who let me tell you was just a little tiny gray hair old man, he was definatiley somebodies papa, he had that papa look, and I hate to see anybody's papa getting yeled at.

The conversation went as follows

Angry guy: Why does this bus say POP?

Bus dude: Because it's going to POP.

Angry guys wife: No it's not, that's not what we were told.

Bus Dude: I apologize you were given the wrong information, where is it you need to go.

Angry guy: Carribean beach resort

Bus Dude: that would be that line right there.

Angry guy: They told us to come here for Caribean

Bus Dude: Well this bus is going to POP

Angry guy: We waited a long time in this line, now we have to go wait in that long line, it's not fair, we were told to come here.

Bus Dude: you're right ,it's not fair, but I can't do anything about that, I have to get these people to their resort

Angry guy: No you need to get me to my resort.

Bus Dude: I can't, this bus is going to POP

Angry guys wife: We're not waiting in another long line, we're getting on this bus and you're taking us to our resort.

Bus Dude: You can get on this bus, but I guarantee you, you will not be going to your resort unless your resort is Pop Century, now either get on the bus or move out of the way so the others can board

Angry guy: You need to settle down man before I make you settle down.

This ticked me off, I jumped up and start heading for the door, Marzi grabs my jacket and pulls me back, I'm yelling "You settle down" Well nobdy can hear me over the comotion going on outside

Bus Dude calls for security, they come over and he tells them that this couple won't alow the others to board the bus

Angry guy and his wife are now yelling at security that they were given the wrong information by some stupid CM who didn't know what he was doing and now they had lost their place in the other line. Security was awesome, they told the couple that "you know Disney tries to accomodate, all you had to do was tell somebody calmly what happened and more then likely you wouldhave been put on the next bus to your resort, there is no need to cause a scene."

Angry guy: I aint causing no scene, I just want to go back to the resort, I'm tired, I've been here all day.

Bus dude: So has everybody else here and they all waited for a bus as long as you did.

Angry guy: Shut up old man this doesn't concern you.

People behind the angry couple are now voicing there opinions, "move out of the way, quit being a jerk, let us on the bus. quit wasting time. The angry guys wife starts yelling at all the people to mind their own business, she even starts swinging her purse at them, so security grabbed her, then the angry guy pushed security, more seurity was called and the couple was threatened with something, I couldn't hear very well but I did hear "Sir this is your only warning, step out of line now or jumble jumble mumble."

The angry couple stepped aside and the crowd cheered, the wife cussed the cheering crowd.

The bus filled up quick and we were off, the topic on the bus was the angry couple. It's amazing how some people act you know, Yes I would have been upset about being given the wrong information and wasting all that time waiting on a bus that would do me no good, but I also know that yelling and being angry and demanding especially in a situation like that will get you know where.

We get back to our room and Mom and Janis are asleep, so we get ready for bed as quiet as we can.

The alarm is set for 7:00am for DHS the next day


-------------------------------------------------------------------
DHS is going to be an awesome update, so much happened this day, I can't wait to tell you all about it, and it's such a busy day It will have to come in several installments, but I did take lots of pics onthis day.
I will try to update again soon.
 
You know what is so funny? We totally had the same park schedule without even realizing it. Sorry to hear about your jerky guy. I totally would have jumped up to the bus driver's defense too. I take "grandparents" very seriously and they way some people treat those older than them is just astounding. Good for you! Can't wait to hear about MGM! When Lynn and I went there she made me ride Tower fo Terror! I had never been on before and was so scared that I almost pee'd myself the first time. Of course as soon as we got off I insisted that we do it again. After a potty break.
 
We were up before the alarm, 6:30am to be exact and we were out the door by 8:00am, we did pretty good all week, 4 woamn and 1 bathroom, we didn't have a system either, it just all kin dof fell into place.

The sun was out, the predicter said it was going to be high 70's so I didn't bring a jacket, I wanted everyone to see my cool Kermit shirt I had painted.

Marzi and I had gone through the parking lot so we could light one up, Mom and Janis took the long way around and went through Everything Pop, they got to the bus stop and Mom called me telling me that we need to stick together, the DHS bus had just left and now we had to wait. I asured Ma we had plenty of time to get to DHS and we were going to be stuck at rope drop anyway. We stomped out our little breathing sticks and headed over to the buses. Mom and Janis were in line and there were about 8 people behind them, Mom motioned for us to come up next to them, I told her we would stay back, we'd still make it on the same bus, we just wouldn't be sitting together, I didn't want to cut infront of other people.

the bus shows up in just a few short minutes, we all make it on the bus and we all end up sitting together, Mom was getting tired of being seperated for all my fresh air breaks, what could I say? OK I will quit right now, If I couldhave backed those words up I would have said it, but I knew I wouldn't be able to quit, and mom can't be around smoke at all because of her COPD, so we would both have to suffer.

We get to DHS and like I had said we were sstuck waiting for rope drop, I had one thing on my mind, TSM! I wanted to high tail it there and either ride it or get fast passes for it. While we were waiting it got a little cloudy and I got cold, then the goose bumps came out, I was full on shivering, I thought that as soon as the rop drops I will grab a long sleeve T shirt, that should get me through the day. The rope drops and we head into our first shop, we get so caught up in shopping all concept of time flew out the window and I forgot about TSM. I found the most gorgeous necklace but decided to wait incase I find it at Epcot on my birthday, I would just use my B-day card to get it. I saw al kinds of earings too. We left that shop empty handed, I couldn't find a shirt I liked, so we head into the next shop, I am looking for shirts but nothing suits me, I can afford to be picky though, I don't want to get a shirt just for the sake of warmth I want it to be something I really like too. Then I saw the jacket that I had seen at DTD on our first full day, I decided that I would get the jacket instead of a shirt, this is something I will wear always, Mom wanted the blanket deal, so she bought the blanket off my $40 dollar spendage.
alldis09034.jpg

This is the jacket I bought, I love it, I should have gotten it a size smaller, but I was thinking I could wear it over layers, which I do and it is super warm, but when I am not wearing layers it really does look too big for me. But anyway, I put the jacket on immediately and Mom had her blanket sent back to the resort.

We stepped out into the street and didn't really have a plan, my plan for running to TSM fell through, so I said alright, we will head to Tower of Terror, Janis and Marzi didn't want to go, they went off in search of coffee and said they would meet us at the exit. so it was Mom and I off to tame the tower together.

Mom really liked the theming on the way up to ToT, the music seemed a little erie to her, she liked all the plants and wondered if the pond was supposed to have water in it or it was just empty and sad looking as part o fthe theming, it has never had water in it everyother time I have been, I just assume it's supposed to look sad and empty.
Walkingitno the building Mom told me to sanp some pictures of the lobby, "Next time your Dad complains about me not doing a good enough job dusting, I will just show him a picture of this and let him know it could be so worse."
Mom and I try and get a picture of us together.
alldis09035.jpg

I love this picture of us, Mom looks like a kid in this picture, it makes me giggle.
Before too long we are in the library watching Rod on the TV tell us the whole storm and people disapearing fiasco. Then we head into the boiler room, Mom was surprised at how fast the line was moving, I asked her if she was scared, she said a little nervous but not scared, I told her to give me her best "I'm scared look"
alldis09036.jpg

How's that for acting?
within minutes Mom and I were on the elevator, second row on the left, I smashed up against the wall, I didn't like being smashed up against the wall at all, I put my bag on the floor and stepped on it, Mom strappe dherself in as tight as she could, "Where's the O $h!t bar?" I showed her the handles on the side, she grabbed them with a death grip and said she was ready, the CM checked everybodys belts and then closed the door, the ride starts and I am all excited for Mom, I knew she would do well on this ride. First she is ooohing and aaawing, then she can feel us moving up, "We're going up now," she anounces it to everybody, like we didn't know, we stop at the top, the doors open we get a quick glance at the park before we are sucked back down, then it shoots us back up again, and then sucks us down again, this goes on quite a while, I actually got a little bored, Mom is screaming and laughing her deep from the gut laugh, finally it stops and we are safe to disembark, we went and looked at our ride picture, I am flying out of my seat, so are most o fthe people around us, Mom on the other had looked like she had melted down into her seat, she was holding onto the handles and pulling herself down into the seat, she looked like a woman on a mission, the look of determination on her face was hilarious, it read, "My @ss is staying put!!!" I love the free fall feeling I get, for a few seconds you're almost weightless, Mom never got to experience that feeling.
We laughed at the picture and then went to have a look in the shop, Mom was telling me how her stomache was flying up and down but nothing else on her did. "Really? not even your McGuffeys? That's one heck of a bra."
I was looking at pins, I was really getting into pins by this point in our trip, I wasn't ready to start trading but I was ready to start purchasing a few. I was getting ready to leave when a group of people came through and pinned me into a corner, I tried to relax and each time I would take a step to get out of my trappped position a whole new set of people would be there, they just kept coming and coming, panic mode set in, my hands fly up next to my head and my fingers start flexing, this is the beginning of a melt down, it always happens this way when I get stuck in a crowd of people and feel trapped in on all sides, tears start to flow down my cheeks and I start yelling "Let me out, let me out." within seconds my Mom is there, she steps infront of me and shields me from all the people while they pass, Mom has bailed me out of panic crowd melt downs time after time, she knows what to do. "You're ok Ty, I'm here." I grab onto her elbows and she leads me out of the store, nothing is more embarassing then losing control like that in a crowd, people just think I'm crazy when I start freaking out like that, last thing I want to do is draw attention to myself but really I lose control, I can't keep it together I really get a fear like my life is in danger, I wish I could handle the crowds, but I can't.

Once we are outside we look for Janis and Marzi, they aren't there, I try calling them and they don't pick up, so I told Mom to wait at the exit and I will go to the entrance, Marzi wasn't there but a smoke zone was, so I lit one up and used the time to calm down, my heart was still racing.

After a while Marzi called and said they were walking towards ToT so we went to meet them at the entrance, they said they got caught in the high school musical crowd and then lost all direction of where they needed to be. silly girls.

We eventually meet up and decide to hit up a few more shops. On the way to one of the shops we came across one of those street shows, Talula Fruity was the actress, she was playing out a death scene (died from bunyanitis no less) she gracefully falls to the ground and her legs fly up in there air showing the world her bloomers in all their pink lacey glory, mom commented that she liked her panties, Talula sat up and pointed at Mom, "You get paid extra for that."
Mom really enjoyed that show, the whole show, not just the panties. We start heading towards the shops again, mom said she would love to be a street actress at DHS, I think she would do well, once in Macinac Island she demonstrated how to eat fudge properly, as she was a fudge expert. to me it looked like she was having an orgasm, can I say that here? I guess I'll find out if it gets filtered or not.
We looked in the villians shop and the candy shop, we didn't really buy anything, then we headed over towards where we planned to eat lunch Toy Story Pizza Planet, yummo!
On the way I found this cute little hat.
alldis09046.jpg

Isn't it just dear?
I decided to leave it right where it was though for everyone else to enjoy.

Wow, that is funny, I am surprised that I didn't run into you more often.

I really can't believe that people could be so rude and disrespectful and not to mention threatening to our older generation.

So is ToT one of your favorites now or just a ride you would do again but could live without? I remember talking on the plane you said you had never ridden it before, I was wondering if you would ride it on that trip. Good for you. It's not as scary as it seems now huh?;) Mom was afraid she would pee her pants too, but then once it was over she said it wasn't pee your pants scary but it did upset her equalibrium for a bit.
 
Oh its definitely a favorite now! Rock and Roller Coaster is still my ultimate fave, but ToT is right up there. Lucky for me they are right next to eachother. It's top on my list of things to do in April.

I can't decide which I like best. they're both awesome for different reasons. I didn't get to do Rockn rollercoaster this past time, I am so looking forward to riding it this Sept.
 
Hi There!!

As promised, I made it over :)

In fact, I read a lot of your pre-trippie last night, then got thru the first few posts over here tonight.

The story of you finding and re-connecting with Marzi is amazing and so touching. How cool after all those years.

So, you had a last minute packer, eh?? That would STRESS me out!!! :scared1:

As would breaking my leg when I knew I had a trip coming up to Disney!!! I hope this doesn't become a touring menace to you!! I'll read more in a bit!

Glad to be aboard :)
 
Your first day is shaping up to be a super fun one. I must say I'm not very happy at Marzi's luggage situation, and hope it shows up soon!! :eek:

Someday, I know you'll find the hidden Donald! ;)

I'm so glad you came over to read, this TR was starting to collect dust.

I am still amazed that I was able to find Marzi and meet and Disney, I was on the verge of happy tears the whole trip.

Someday, I know you'll find the hidden Donald! ;)

I just love that first day of Disney feel, the missing luggage only put a small damper on things, we powered through it and had a great first day.
 
Slowly we are making our way to Toy Story Pizza planet, I had eaten here on my second trip in Dec 07. I loved it so I was super excited. It was still pretty early for lunch so the place was almost empty. Mom and Janis grabbed us a seat outside in the sun, we so welcomed that sun and wanted to take advantage of it as much as possible.
Marzi and I went in to order our food. We both got the pepperoni pizza, cause we are twins and share brain waves and just think alike. Mom got a veggie pizza and janis just got plain ole cheese, not that theres anything wrong with plain ole cheese, it's just...plain:confused3

I got a rice crispie treat for dessert. so did Marz, (the whole sharing brain waves thing again) I think Mom and Janis got the cookies.

I love this place because the pizza is so good and the salads are super fresh. a couple times while we were eating the sun dipped behind the clouds and it got chilly for a sec but it always came back out again.

I ate almost all my pizza, even the crust, although I dip the crust in ranch dressing. I was to full at the end of lunch for my crispy treat so I packed it in my buxton bag for later.
I have to say at this point I was about done with that buxton bag, it was falling apart left and right, 2 of the zippers broke on it, I was no longer happy and impressed with this bag. I rate this bag a LOSER!

We finished up eating (Janis gave me her cookie so I packed that in my loser bag too) and we headed over to catch the Muppets 3-D. I really like this show, I love the muppets, Kermit is my boyfriend, Miss Piggy is so jealous of me.:snooty:
There was a line for the show...When did lines start happening for this show, I have never had to wait in line for this show.
I checked under the rug for the key, either it was gone or it blended in too well with the carpet to see, it was a little dark in there so I could have just missed it.
After waiting about 20 minutes we get to go in and find our seats, the theater did not fill up, there were lots of empty seats left non in our row though or I would have moved, the guy in front of us was wearing a baseball cap and everytime he moved his head sideways it blocked our view, it also interfered with the 3-Dness of the show for my Mom, she only sees with one eye at a time, this is stemming from an eye surgery she had as a child to fix her crossed eyes. so when something is close to her she focuses on that first and his hat was a big distraction, she enjoyed the show itself though, she just wasn't able to get much of the 3-D effects.
When the show was over we left and went into the muppet shop to...what else? shop!
I really wish they had more muppet stuff to offer then whats there, I wanted a kermit mug so bad, all they had were the old hecklers mug, it was cute though, it said "Old...it's better then dead" I thought about getting it for Kent, he loves the hecklers, but he isn't a coffee drinker, so I passed it up. I called my sister Bo to see if there was something she wanted from there, I kept sending her pictures on her phone, she would nay at everything. My sister was home from work the whole week I was at Disney, she was lucky enough to get a hysterectomy, so she was resting and I loved being able to call her all day.
We didn't find anything she wanted so I just hung up with her and shopped for myself, I was so stoked when I found a yingyang necklace that said BFF, the white side had a black Mickey head, the black side had a white Mickey head, I grabbed that thing up and purchased it right away, this was so perfect for Marzi and I, as kids we were the yingyang gang.
As we were putting on our necklaces Janis asked which one of us was the ying and which was the yang. I told her "I am the Ying, but I've been known to yang."
She laughed, but it's true, and Marzi is the yang, but she can ying too, she's not a total yanger!

Mom was busy shopping and yelling my name every 2 seconds, I wanted to leave the store and wait outside, I had made my purchase, I was done, I didn't want to shop in there any more, I was leaving when my phone rang, it was Bo, I thought she had changed her mind about something she wanted, but no she told me that Matt our brother had just called and Lola our sis-in-law was in labor. I was so excited, I told Mom right away and she was excited, too excited, "What are they going to name her, do they have the middle name picked out yet, call your brother and see what they have decided." I know she was just excited and nervous that she couldn't be there, (Lola got pregnant after we planned this trip) she just wasn't thinking straight. "Mom, he's with his wife who is in labor, I am not calling him, let them have there time together."
"Oh yea, right, right."
I could tell she was in major thinking mood, I could see she wasn't with us anymore.
It took some time for Mom to settle down a bit and come back to Disney, we had started walking aimlessly, we didn't have much of a plan now, we ended up on the streets of (is it America or New York) we were in the streets is all I know.

Can you see my Kermit shirt I painted? JoJo had gotten me a Kermit pin and it looks just like my shirt, I now have that pin on my apron at work, we aren't really supposed to have flare on our aprons, but nobody has said anything to me yet, sooooo........:rolleyes1

We had fun walking around and taking pictures, I had never really spent much time here on my past trips so this was nice, I had joked with my mom and pointed to a corner street, "Hay Ma, that looks just like the corner I work back home."
I don't really work a corner, I am by no means a "lady of the night" but working the corner is an inside joke within our family, it all started one day when I was at my grandmas house, she had just gotten her electric bill and said "Egads! (yes Grandma says Egads!) any way "Egads!, I'm going to have to get my old corner back"
Mom laughed and had to explain to Janis that No, Ty is not a hooker!
WE just kept walking and then came upon the back lot tour. I had never done this but always wanted to. So we jumped in line. I loved watching the making of Pearl Harbor, that's such a good movie. Watching that made the time go by quickly and soon we were headed off to the next part of the tour, the water part o fit, they said they couldn't really give us the full effect because it wasn't warm enough but they gave us the jist of it. SO I don't really know what is supposed to happen there. Then we took a long walk through the props building, a long brisk walk, I wanted to take pictures but it was like everybody was running and I didn't want to get left behind.
We boarded our tram, Janis, Mom, Me and Marzi, please don't flame me, but this was boring, I expected to see more, I was hoping to be dazzled by Hollywood, I was let down, oooo a Mickey shrub, yay! an old plane, half a Herbie, a pretend fruit market just sittin grandomly in the open.
Catastrophe Canyon was cool though, it made up for everything else, but way too soon it was over and...oooo the back side of the Mickey shrub, the other side of the plane...etc...etc...
Not soon enough the ride was over and we disembarked into the dump shop, of course we had to look around, that's what we do.
Then Marzi presented me with this.

It was the worlds greatest friend award.
alldis09044.jpg

OMG! I never expected to win this, I don't have a speech prepared, I mean really I didn't even think I had the smallest chance of winning, but you like me! You really like me. Ok I need to thank GOd first and formost, he had a hand in Marzi and I being friends, he brought us together, I'd like to thank our mothers for giving birth to us and our fathers for their military careers that broughtus both to El Paso Tx, at the same time. In a round about sort of way I have to Thank Sandra Bainers for shunning me and getting the whole 6th grade class to ignore me, that's how I discovered that Marzi was a nice girl, and last but certainly not least, not ever... My BFF Marzi, I love you girl, and this award is for you too, you deserve it as much as me and......right then Kanye West jumped up and grabbed my award holding it high above his head, he said "I'm gonna let you finish baby girl, I promise, but I just need to say that Beyonce is the worlds greatest BFF" :rolleyes1

I took it too far didn't I? Kanye really didn't do that, he wasn't even there, but I really wanted my speech to be memorable, I wanted you all to be talking about this around the cooler at work tomorrow, "Did you hear that Kanye totally dissed Ty?":hyper2:

We left the shop empty handed and headed towards TSM, I was thirty so I got an elxtra large bottle of soda.
