Why do we have to stand in all these lines?...a TR by DM w/lots of PIX...Completed!

[abeyst]

looks like you guys are having a great time at epcot!!! i LOVE alec's dancing....and the comment about elaine from seinfield..... my sister can do that dance perfectly and it always cracks me up! too funny! he's such a cutie!



can you explain this? does this mean that if you have a photopass card, you can scan in the pics they take of you on the ride to your card and if you purchase the whole CD (as i did) it will be included?????? if so, i'm soooooo mad!!!! i can't believe i DISed for 4 months before our trip and never knew this!

I'll take this one, DM.

punkin413 - I posted the same thing a few (ok, a lot of!) pages back because I didnt know about it, either!!! And I've been a DISer for years (not to mention how many times I've been to WDW)! Shh-don't tell my family-they think I know EVERYTHING about Disney! Anyway, the ONLY ride that can scan your ride picture to your Photopass card is Test Track. But rumor has it that they're trying to do it at other E-Ticket rides as well.

Yes, we only were able to scan Test Track too (but I didn't ride TofT so unsure about that). A photo pass person said eventually all rides will be on it.
I also learned that if you wait 2 weeks into your photopass time frame that they will send you a coupon--Mine was either 20% or 40% off depending on how much you buy. (no discount on the CD though).

Okay, I'm caught up. Luckily, your photopass pics haven't arrived yet. Gave me plenty of time. Your kids are so cute! How awesome to take them out the last day of school and go straight to Disney. Mine get out June 1 and it's too hot for me in June.

I will have to go back and view your little ones dance (hubby is sleeping---shhh). I have a feeling he and my DD9 would get along great.

DisneyJo, can you explain the "taking the mickey out" thing? I've heard it recently and thought that it must mean joking with someone

thanks for the explanation! i was panicking there for a second. i do remember that our pic on TT was kinda funny though, so i wish i'd known about it then. i hope someone makes a big deal of it when they add more rides to this. we're going back in april and i hope that happens before then! thanks again!

I didn't have to wait - the coupon was available online --- I saved 40% on my photos two days after we returned home!
Didn't buy the whole CD - wasn't thrilled with all the shots - and there weren't enough of them to warrant the price. Now... COURTNEY's photopass cd is to DIE FOR! ALL THOSE GREAT PHOTOS!!!

 

[kaysmommie]

Posting to let you know I'm still reading but always have time to post. I have to say I love your trip report and Courtney's too. I'm subscribed to both of them. Just reading all the posts on here makes me though. Your all too funny.

 

[Disneyolic]

It's okay.... I can take it... I just wanted to make sure no one was serious! It takes so long to do these TRs! And I'm at work all day so can't really post much response... .Get home, work so hard to get an installment up- Ryan comes home, wonders why I'm DISing and not talking to him- oops- and finally get it posted and then it's still not as good as DMs!!! It's really okay. I just want both of ours to be good and really the point is to help others plan their trips, so if I can help others, and so can you, then we're good!

You do not honestly believe my TR is better than yours, do you? No freakin' way. We both have unique styles and your's shows with your absolutely adorable pics and the way you "talk" to us through your TR. I love your TR and I am not just saying that to make you feel better because if I didn't I would have probably just not said anything at all. I am not a person who sucks up to people! I can even be harsh at times (but that is at home and that's a whole OTHER story) and people say I am brutally honest.

So to make a short story long.. ... LOVE your TR, love your style of writing, and absolutely LOVE your pictures!

After Brooke's initial hissy fit we were having a lot of fun. That particular day was pretty good, but you'll read that late. You gotta love that Elaine dance. It's an art!

As someone else explained but I'll go ahead and say it, again, my way, Test Track is the only place you can scan your PhotoPass card. I really was mad that I forgot about it. I even looked around to see if I saw a CM that maybe had a new card but nope, no one in site.

Just found your report tonight and caught up with it all--- I love the pictures of your family!!
I look forward to reading more
Shannon

Thanks for reading Shannon. I'm happy that more and more people are joining in....

I love your TR so far! Your kids are so cute! Gotta love the little guy's dancing~!! lol!! I can't wait to read more & see more pics~!

Thank you so much! My kids are cute most of the time, and some of the time they are pains in the patooties. Case in point...lovely Brooke's hissy fit. But I guess nothing is perfect no matter how much I try...

I'll take this one, DM.

Yup. I researched this one out on the DIS before we went. I wish they would get all the rides up on it. Then no more rednecking pics!

Still waiting for that PhotoPass. UPS doesn't deliver on the weekends. I'm hoping Monday or Tuesday at the latest. I really have to include a couple pics on that for my next installment!

Now... COURTNEY's photopass cd is to DIE FOR! ALL THOSE GREAT PHOTOS!!!

She absolutely got her money's worth! There weren't a lot of photos on my PhotoPass sadly. But there were definitely enough that buying the photos alone would not make sense for me. I like having control of my pics so the CD for us was the way to go. Just can't show Rob how much it cost...

 

[lazidazi07]

The same thing happened to us in TT! Sooo frustrating. We didnt end up getting to ride, though, so double frustrating. Your kids are so cute. I'll have to stay tuned to see where you really ended up when I was there! I probably could've walked right past you! I was really disappointed though, because I wore my LGMH everywhere and never met a single DISser!

 

[KatGarcia]

thanks for the explanation! i was panicking there for a second. i do remember that our pic on TT was kinda funny though, so i wish i'd known about it then. i hope someone makes a big deal of it when they add more rides to this. we're going back in april and i hope that happens before then! thanks again!

If you go to any photopass store they can look up stuff for you, i believe rides are included, but u need the date and approx time. They search by those. We did it for character breakfasts to get the pics from there on the card instead of paying for a package. They just have to search the "event" in their system, it may take a bit of work but i think its worth it!

Thanks Renee!!! I now need to figure out which ones I want to frame... I had just having them all on my computer! I can't see them that way as much as I want! I can't wait to see the ones you ordered! And WAHOO for saving 40%!

Yay! Good to see you over here too!!!! People do think I'm crazy when I'm staring at my computer laughing... But that's what the DIS does to you.... You meet some funny people!

Thanks DM! I love your TR too! I can't wait to see all of your photopass pictures!!!! Come on UPS!!!!! Hurry to DM's house!

Thank you so much! My kids are cute most of the time, and some of the time they are pains in the patooties. Case in point...lovely Brooke's hissy fit. But I guess nothing is perfect no matter how much I try...

When I met her kiddos, they were nothing but sweet little angels.... I thought they were that way all the time DM???? Right? I mean, I was with yall for a whole hour-- surely they're that way for the other 23 hours of the day =)

Yup. I researched this one out on the DIS before we went. I wish they would get all the rides up on it. Then no more rednecking pics!

I'm a redneck and I'm proud of it! I rednecked ALL of my ride photos! Yeah, they're not as good as the official ones you buy, but heck, I'd have been broke if I would have bought all of those! They're so expensive!

 

[DisneyJo]

DisneyJo, can you explain the "taking the mickey out" thing? I've heard it recently and thought that it must mean joking with someone

It does, it kind of means are you making fun of me?

Courtney do you want to know a secret? I am so worried that when I finally get to writing my TR that I won't be able to compete with such wonderful TR's as your's and DM's and obviously loads of others! I am absolutely loving your TR keep it coming, you too DM but not too soon OK I don't want them ending too quick

Thanks Jo!!!! I'm so glad you're liking both of them!!!! I think DMs is so fun! I love seeing her kiddos having so much fun.... And hearing about their hissy fits too =)

I think you need to get started on your TR!!!! We'd all come over and read yours, I promise! You'd do great!

Secret is out Jo! You will do just fine because remember, you have us cool kids coming to read it when you finally end up doing one. Just remember to take lots of pics when you have your girls DIS meet!!!

Jo is going to Disney in August. She has some fun things planned like meeting a bunch of fellow DISers ?by the pool? and drinking lapu lapu's.

Got it, thanks I saw that you started your pretrip report. Takes me a while to catch on 70 pages! Yikes, don't know if I can read all of that. I'm a little lost since you are talking about goobers

 

[twob4him]

Hi DM...I just got off the croc thread and am so happy Felicia was found! That was really nice of you to work out finding her and getting her to the next person!
So just thought I would stop in and say HI!

 

[TEminnie]

Don't worry--I'll be there!!!

I'm a little lost since you are talking about goobers

that was my fault--sorry--just trying to figure out how to say "uber "

I still think it's your fault....


Well, I took my BA to her first soccer training practice today (she doesn't play soccer--just wanted to go cause she was invited by her new friend). There were 20 other kids there who really could play well. She ran and kicked and ran some more.......then staggered over to me and threw up.......
She has felt bad all day (is was in the low 90s which is odd for here and she did too much).
Anyone else's kid ever do this?? She wants to go back next week..........

My DS Ryan did this back at in the fall durning soccer practice, we ate dinner 45 mins before practice. So after he got sick, coach had him sit out till it was over, DD had to keep practicing. They were on the same team last year, and the only year. Will never do that again. well won't have to do that anymore anyway. As DD is to old for Rec soccer team and DS doesn't want to play this year.

Hey DM - I'm finally here!!

Hmmm, I've seen your wand and pixie dust on another thread this evening - just can't remember which one it was.....
