Why did we plan out this entire trip?! A 2nd Honeymoon Report...sorta.The End. 5/21

[MyMuse]

I'm glad you got there ok, but so sorry your first night was h-e-double hockey sticks!

What was up with the CM?! It definitely sounded like a dressing down/threat and I would still report it. And it is even worse to say it to a fellow CM. And if she was going through the same thing?

I am proud of you and KC for keeping your cool and still managing the salvage the night.

I hope the next few installments are better for you!!!

 

[askelton]

That just makes me mad for you. Would it really have been a big deal to change your dining plan? Why would she care? I guess she's just asserting her authority because she can, but what goes around comes around.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Subbing!!

So glad that you and KC are working things out. Marriages are not perfect, they have to be worked on. Good for you and KC by chosing to do so!!

Glad that you guys got to go on a 2nd trip but sorry about all the problems as soon as you got there. Oh my gosh I would have been so mad at that CM on the phone!!! Someone obviously thinks she's above and beyond.


Hope the trip gets better from then on!

 

[KatGarcia]

So sorry the trip had such a rocky start.

Me too...but it's gets better!

POFQ looks so beautiful. I can’t wait to stay there one day.

I can’t believe the nerve of that CM. Hopefully the rest of your trip was a lot more magical.

It really is a great resort, nice and small, easy to navigate.

Um...is that a threat???

Mmmm...looks good!

I wish she would have reported me so I'd have gotten her name and reported her right back!

Oh Kat what a tragic way to start your "Secondmoon"
Quesion what is the option at ME for getting thru quiker ???

POFQ was almost where was staying! It is the only other resort I realy am inteesed in other than Pop!! I just don't like BIG reort , my sense of direction is sooooo bad I'd be MIA for most of the trip

Magical Whiplash Good one KC!!!!

If you get the booklet in the mail you can now just walk up without waiting at the counter! Much faster when there is a line.

OMG Kat that's outrageous, have you done anything about it since getting home? Now I understand why you weren't surprised IYKWIM

I never got her name because the CM called in, so I couldn't do anything about it. After the first night I tried very hard to ignore that it happened.

Wow, that's a bummer about the DDP. I think I probably would have just passed on the whole QSP shebang, KWIM?

I wonder what the CM on the phone would have done if the tables were turned, right? I doubt she would have kept her cool.

The quick service one was paid for already and taking it off would have been a hassle so we left it. Mostly we left it because there are a kertrillion snack credits and we were planning on some serious F&W eating and using those credits saved us loads!

it def gets better! We made it fun.

That just makes me mad for you. Would it really have been a big deal to change your dining plan? Why would she care? I guess she's just asserting her authority because she can, but what goes around comes around.

Apparently it is "impossible" to do that in the system on a CM ressie. I still stand by that someone over her head could have fixed it but we made the best of it.

Subbing!!

HI! Thanks for reading along! Thats the #1 thing we learned, marriage ios work, but we both wanna work on it so we should be just fine.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks everyone for hanging in there. I am less and less on the PC these days. It's ever since I got the internet on my cell phone, I am so lazy about it. I can sit on the couch and read the boards but I can't quote so thus the lack of quotes.

I did have to work today for the afternoon at the WoD NYC, and it was a MADHOUSE!!! I did have a great visit tho- from MyMuse! It truly made my day to see a friendly face! She took a pic of me in my dorky "costume".....

So polyester. Thanks Walt for the polyester. Really.

So I am hoping to get another update done before weekend's end...here's hopin!

Thanks for hanging in with me and I hope you all had a wonderful and full Thanksgiving!

 

[WeLuvDiz]

Just caught up Bring it on

 

[jordanyosh]

sorry about the poor start to your trip. I'm in shock that the CM wasn't able to do anything for you.... Not a very Disney moment for sure.

I hope it gets better.

 

[KatGarcia]

Thanks for letting me take the pic and your time! It was wonderful seeing you again!

I hope the rest of the day went well & we did manage to go back again, but it was after 5pm.

And....where's the update?! You do know I leave in but a few days?!

 

[KatGarcia]

So after the loooong night we had the night before, and all the drama, we woek up pretty jaded over Disney in general. I was almost completely "over it". I really could have taken or left it at this point. Luckily I had some things in store today that lifted my spirits tho....

We were up at 7:30 and out the door within an hour. We brought one little friend with us on this trip....

This guy:

He is a Mickey's Monster. It says on his tag he likes to get into photo's and we thought he was so cute, so he came with us. As you can see we left him on the 2nd bed on the pillows. This matters later, trust me.

This was the view from the room, right outside our door.

Nice huh?! Take note of it too, it comes into play later in the week. Lots of foreboding this update huh? Sorry it'll all come around later.

So where were we off to on this cynical and non Disney feeling day?

You know I took photo pass pics no matter how bad I was feeling. Esp Since I straightened my hair that morning to try and combat the florida frizz.

We were in Epcot right after rope drop, which was fine by us. We had no plans to rush to rope drops because we have been to all of them before.

First stop: Soarin'. We walked on. People took pictures. I just don't get that at all!? Do you take pictures in an IMAX movie theater, no, so why on this ride and screw it up for everyone else?! Yeesh. it surely didn't help my mood.

We walked onto Living with the Land as well. I really like this ride and it's relaxing factor.

I almost missed this....it's where eel are supposed to be but was empty!

Did you ever notice that these are grown in the shape of a mickey head? We didn't! We actually saw a lot of things this trip that we had never noticed before, seeing it thru jaded eyes maybe? LOL.

We then walked over to Test Track. We decided to do the single rider line just to save time. We ended up being split up and the person behind me ended up in KC's car...go figure.

I was not so excited as you may be able to tell from the photo. I wanted to do something funny for Jo & Fam but was really meh at this point.

KC , on the other hand, had a fun car.

We were aimlessly wandering at this point. I had hoped to meet up with soem DIS friends but didn't know what was going on with that. We did stop for a bit and watch these guys.

We walked through Inoventions but the cool stuff had lines or was over crowded so it turned out to be just a walk through for us. We were on the way to the F&W Festival Center when I got a text from Michelle (TheDisneyFamily) saying she saw us from the monorail!

We went to the welcome center and checked out all the stuff, got our booth guide books and mainly stayed cool inside the building. We took some neat pictures too, ok KC took them, I'll give credit where credit is due.

He took a whole bunch of these ones, with different reflections and stuff, very cool. We heard the Collette Peters Demo going on , something I wish we'd been able to do.

We headed for a drink at Club Cool next. And to see if KC could video someone drinking Beverly. Instead he did it himself, why I have NO IDEA.

Here's the link to the you tube video of KC doing the shot.
KC's Beverly Shot.

I stuck to Mexico and China.

I got a text from Michelle saying she was meeting V & her son at the pins station in 10 minutes! So we strolled over there and found some long lost Focker friends! I hadn't sen V or Leo since the big Focker Fest dinner last August and I had never met Michelle or her lovely daughters. My mood was instantly lifted! Getting to vent out my drama to people who understood made it all better! It truly did turn around the trip for me to be able to spend time with them! So thank you to you all for making the trip worthwhile for me! And Angela, you were missed!

I stole some of these from V as her's came out better than mine. But we did remember to take pics!

So after chatting for a bit we all headed into the World Showcase for some good eats.

And next time there will be lots of food, fun & friends!

It looks like a semi-bleak day turned into something great. Meeting up with fellow Disers will do that to you.

 

[Native NYer]

So terrible how your trip started. Rude people are the worst.
Glad your first full day went better!!!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Love the pictures! Glad you were able to smile get a better mood. That really stinks what happened at the beginning of the trip.

I laughed out loud at KC's Beverly video.

 

[jordanyosh]

Meeting up with DIS friends is always a good remedy for the doldrums. That picture of you on Test Track pretty much says it all.

 

[englishrose47]

I am stillLaughing at the Beverley video !! I still have to trick the kids into Beverly !!! We missed Club Cool this time !!! Great Update Kat!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Sorry you weren't feeling it but I am honoured you still thought of me

I'm so pleased meeting V and Michelle lifted your spirits, I get to see V on Sunday and Michelle in 12 days

 

[CdnCarrie]

There's closing the DS in NYC??!! Why?

Can't believe no one could override the dining plan option!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

OMG, I'm so laughing at KC and his Beverly shots. If I finished my TR, I'd have an installment of my nephews playing Quarters with Beverly shots. No joke, it was UGLY!

 

[KatGarcia]

Thanks Kat !! Not sure if I'm doing PP this time or not Howlong is the code good for ????

Sorry I never answered this...it's until Dec 20th I believe.

It def made my day!

I still dunno why he did it to himself. LOL.

Yea, saddest PP pic ever, huh?!

I am stillLaughing at the Beverley video !! I still have to trick the kids into Beverly !!! We missed Club Cool this time !!! Great Update Kat!!

We missed it the last 2 trips I think, so it was due!

Sorry you weren't feeling it but I am honoured you still thought of me

Will any of us ever go on TT and not think of you?

There's closing the DS in NYC??!! Why?

The rent is just too high. There are rumors of a Disney Store opening in Times Square sometime soon but no more World of Disney Stores unless it's in the theme parks.

OMG, I'm so laughing at KC and his Beverly shots. If I finished my TR, I'd have an installment of my nephews playing Quarters with Beverly shots. No joke, it was UGLY!

WOW, that I wanna see!!!!!

 

[KatGarcia]

Hello faithful readers?! That is, if you are still out there!? LOL.

I have been busy working like a mad woman BUT things have changed as of yesterday! Everyone knows the World of Disney NYC is closing in 2 weeks. but I will not be there as of today. It just kick my butt too much, literally. Physically I have been too battered and I just decided it was smart for me to just know when to cut my losses.

So more to to TR write then, right?! LOL. I hope so.

I still have a ton to share about the trip and can't wait to relive it all with you guys!

Did anyone see the new HGTV Holiday Special? Great stuff!! It made me really miss the Osbourne lights!

Hopefully this weekend I will have another update for you!
