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

[Flossbolna]

Great update!!! Minnie's House is really cute, I got a lot of pictures in there. It must be great for little girls, it made even me feel like eight years old again!

 

[DisneyJo]

Our first stop was Donald’s Boat. Rob took the kids in there but they emerged rather quickly. I guess a couple of obnoxious kids were in there with parents nowhere to be found. No big deal. The kids were ready to see what else there was.

Oh no, don't think there's much to see in there anyway1

I thought I would be cool and aim my camera backwards to I could get Brookie’s reaction of the ride. Well, brilliant DM was definitely not taking into consideration that it was dark outside. But, watch the quick video anyway. You can see Brookie at the end of it ...

After Goofy’s we all needed a pit stop. I won’t go into details there. Let’s just say everything came out okay.

Thanks for not going into detail

And I got it on videotape. My lovely girl have a hissy fit.

You lovely Mum you

Sarah and I had been playing “tag” in phone calls and meeting up. I had Felicia, from the DISboard Croc exchange. This was our last attempt to meet up and exchange the Croc. We ended our phone call by Sarah telling me that she would call me after Wishes was down and we could meet up then. Sounded like a good plan, right?

I kinda played tag with her too, she left several messages on my hotel phone, does she still DIS?

great update and pics. I love toontown.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I never understand why people leave their kids unchaperoned to run around wild. Mine never let us act that way.

Brookie looks to have really enjoyed Minnie's house. I think her hissy fit was cute!

 

[TEminnie]

I like Minnie's House too! And I like the Barnstormer ok--never rode it at nite tho. We don't get over to toon town much anymore, but if we do, I'll leave you a message!

Uh oh--did u miss your croc exchange? You get Focker points DEDUCTED for that!

 

[KatGarcia]

Brookie looked like she was clinging for her life even tho the ride was over! Too cute!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Love Brookie's hissy fit!
There's not much to see in Donald's boat, I was very disappointed by this when I visited in April.

You didn't stay for Wishes?!

Uh oh on the Croc exchange...

 

[kaysmommie]

Great update! Seems like Minnie's kitchen is always a crowded nightmare with lots of screaming kids . My kids enjoyed your Barnstormer video.

 

[cmp1111]

Love the pictures and videos! We had a weird experience in Donald's Boat as well - unsupervised kids running wild.

I feel a missed meet coming on.

Hey Dm, great upsate.

We avoid the houses if we can. In August we were able to avoid toontown the whole time because Barnstormer was down for refurb. It always seems that they are packed.

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

A lil piece of trivial for ya'll.

Did you know that when toontown opened, Donalds Boat was called Donald's Tug? Disney had complaints that it was obscene (Brits maybe??) so they changed the name.

Also, Toontown used to be the only section of MK where one could get a shot of tequila. Sadly this changed about the same time as the "tug".

I ALMOST understand donalds tug. but where on earth (or toontown) did they sell tequila?!

Toon Park (the kiddy playground) used to be a Tequila Kisok. $4 per shot. I used to love that!

What's obscene about a tug boat? Gonna need more help on this one---maybe a visual or a Jo consultation!

Are you just making this up cause it's late???

 

[Tanya90210]

As always DM... loved it.... The videos were too cute... and I loved the shot of brookie sewing!!!....

Love your elves too btw

Somtimes when Steve is feeling funny he jokes that he would love a "wipe and a tug ,a tug and a wipe" in this ridiculous accent!

Also I think I do remember that the MK has always been alcahol free.

 

[blue_river]

Rob had no clue what I was talking about. I just shook my head at this non-DISer.

Nighttime had fallen and I love that time. There is something a touch more magical with all the lights around.

I totally agree with you on this

How I'd love to go just once during the Christmas season. It must be amazing.

Alec all of a sudden remembered about Goofy’s Barnstormer. I warned everyone that there may be a big line there as the last time we were there we waited 30 minutes for a 30-second ride. But when we arrived, we pretty much just walked right up!

Gotta love that

Then, we went over to Minnie’s house. Let me tell you about her house ... she lets in the most wildest kids ever, mine included! This was the first time we went into Minnie’s home and it really was pretty neat. Brookie enjoyed doing a bit of sewing.

Wouldn't it be great to have something like (Minnie's House) that in the backyard for our kids???

And I got it on videotape. My lovely girl have a hissy fit.

Too cute!

It is really cute. The kids had fun in it. I just don't like a lot of other kids running around in it!

Oh no, don't think there's much to see in there anyway1

I didn't think I was missing anything!

Thanks for not going into detail

I could if you want me to!

You lovely Mum you

Thank you my dear!

I kinda played tag with her too, she left several messages on my hotel phone, does she still DIS?

I've seen her post a couple of times. She wrote me a couple of times on my MySpace account. She homeschools and says she is busy a lot. I guess so with 4 boys!

great update and pics. I love toontown.

Thanks Scott. I could really live without ToonTown but I do it for my lovely kiddos.

I never understand why people leave their kids unchaperoned to run around wild. Mine never let us act that way.

Brookie looks to have really enjoyed Minnie's house. I think her hissy fit was cute!

I guess I can kinda understand the unchaperoned part a bit. But if your kids are known for being a bit on the wild side, check on them!

I like Minnie's House too! And I like the Barnstormer ok--never rode it at nite tho. We don't get over to toon town much anymore, but if we do, I'll leave you a message!

Uh oh--did u miss your croc exchange? You get Focker points DEDUCTED for that!

Great! I'll look for that message some day ... You will just have to wait to hear what happened with the Croc exchange. And I don't believe I should have any deduction in points once you hear my side of the story ...

Brookie looked like she was clinging for her life even tho the ride was over! Too cute!

Yes. When I watched the video and saw the ending I just couldn't delete it then.

Love Brookie's hissy fit!

Uh oh on the Croc exchange...

Sadly, she does this little hissy fit a lot. It must really be a girl thing. Didn't stay for Wishes? Did I say that?

Great update! Seems like Minnie's kitchen is always a crowded nightmare with lots of screaming kids . My kids enjoyed your Barnstormer video.

There is so much to do for little kids in Minnie's kitchen. I wish I could have played a bit .

Love the pictures and videos! We had a weird experience in Donald's Boat as well - unsupervised kids running wild.

I feel a missed meet coming on.

Other people's kids stink ... just kidding ... maybe. No seriously, they're fine, most of the time or not.

Hey Dm, great upsate.

We avoid the houses if we can. In August we were able to avoid toontown the whole time because Barnstormer was down for refurb. It always seems that they are packed.

Someday I hope to avoid this whole section altogether. Just too many other things I'd rather be doing.

I think it was Donald's Tug Boat. But they changed it, I think, because Donald needed a house?

Also, Toontown used to be the only section of MK where one could get a shot of tequila. Sadly this changed about the same time as the "tug".

That's when you started your beer stash I assume ...

I ALMOST understand donalds tug. but where on earth (or toontown) did they sell tequila?!

Toon Park (the kiddy playground) used to be a Tequila Kisok. $4 per shot. I used to love that!

Since they got rid of it I bring my own tequila shots and hand them out. Meet me there sometime!

Do you actually doubt something that MDF says? He seems to remember things none of the rest of us do so it brings back happy memories ...

As always DM... loved it.... The videos were too cute... and I loved the shot of brookie sewing!!!....

Love your elves too btw

Thanks Tanya. The elves are the funniest I think.

Somtimes when Steve is feeling funny he jokes that he would love a "wipe and a tug ,a tug and a wipe" in this ridiculous accent!

Also I think I do remember that the MK has always been alcahol free.

Now that just sounds gross ... An alcohol-free MK? Who ever heard of such a thing???

How I'd love to go just once during the Christmas season. It must be amazing.

When we went in November 2003, the YC had their Christmas tree up and they were starting to put out the decorations here and there. It was lovely and I would absolutely love to go at the beginning of December!

Wouldn't it be great to have something like (Minnie's House) that in the backyard for our kids???

Yes! I think everyone should come here and help build one for Brookie. Anyone? Hello?

Hrm... : Actually, I think it was Donald's Tug House.
