You Best Start Believing in Ghost Stories...Halloween on the Dream | The End P40 8/15

What a fun update!

I love the characters in their Halloween costumes. So cute!

The party looks like it was fun!

And I like that all of y'all dressed in costume!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Being characters themselves, Madison and Evan decided to get into the Halloween spirit. Orrrrr....they were replaced by undead versions of themselves by some Bahamian witch doctor when we weren't looking back on the island.

Have I mentioned how cool your kids are?

I'll agree with Brian on your pose in the Goofy picture as being the Crane Technique.

Bambi fought it valiantly, desperately trying to keep herself between the vicious, blood thirsty fowl and the kids. In the end, she saved the kids, but was left with a nasty ouchie on her finger.

Yikes! I'd contact Disney Customer Service about this. You might be able to get a free cruise out of them.

Ah, Goofy's Sports Deck on Deck 13. Or for you superstitious folk "the deck between 12 and 14" . Filled with all sorts of fun athletic games such as basketball, vollyeball, Foosball, ping pong, and of course....mini golf!

I wish they had this on the Wonder. Now I guess we'll have to go back.

As long as we were up there, we grabbed a set of clubs and balls and tried our luck at keeping the ball on the ship and out Nassau harbor.

I know others have said they wish every golf course had a line showing you where to hit it like this, but honestly, I don't think that would help me. I'd have to be able to hit it where I was aiming.

Based on Madison's backswing, I don't think we were successful.

Good thing she didn't have Tiger's caddie there with her.

You get quite a view from up on deck 13. For one thing, you can see when some of the crew members decided to hijack one of the lifeboats and go on a pleasure cruise.

How come that wasn't on the excursions list? That sounds better than all of them!

You can also see a lot of the local wildlife. Like this momma duck bringing her ducklings back to the nest after a day out on the water. Or something.

We arrived to see the area already filling up, but were able to get the kids a sort-of-kind-of front row view. It would have been a full front row view if the *$@%! 6 foot tall woman with the poofy hair and batgirl costume would step back 9 inches and let a few of the 3 foot tall kids have a better view.

Time to start crop-dusting...

The party kept going while roving photographers were taking family pictures. We went with two themes this year - A butterfly and bumblebee for the ladies, while Evankin Skywalker and Obi-Wan KaBarry protected the ship from the Empire.

Nice job with the costumes!

How was the elevator ride to that deck? Do you think Mark could handle it?

Really? I thought you declared allegiance to my side. Are you a spy?

Cool. Better make sure that Mark doesn't go here, imaging taking the elevator down from the 13th floor.... I think I've heard of that from somewhere...

Laugh it up, fuzzball.

 

[afwdwfan]

Really? I thought you declared allegiance to my side. Are you a spy?

I am on your side. That is why I feel it is my duty to make you tougher. I can't let that Tower of Terror thing go.

At least I'm picking on something that you've joked about yourself instead of making you wait 5 hours on a street corner for some pizza.

Does that mean you're going to force me to run half-marathons, eat my vegetables, and give up cheesesteaks too? Friends don't let friends eat lima beans, you know.

No, I wouldn't make you do anything I wouldn't want to do myself... and I definitely do enjoy those Twilight Zone elevators.

et tu Andy?

 

[afwdwfan]

et tu Andy?

Of course. I don't remember what it was, but I do specifically remember you saying something a few weeks ago that forced me to say I'm joining forces with Mark. The comment about Lou's should come as no surprise.

Might have been the comment about the Tripple XXX menu...

Nice shots with the all the characters, but…

What’s the story here?
Are you channeling the Karate Kid well past his prime,
or is it a rather limp-wristed mummy/zombie kind’a thing?

And I like this one as well but again,
you look like your about to topple over.
Were you and gravity just not getting along?

Rather then yelling “Four!”…
I think the more appropriate warning signal here might have been:

“Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole!”

Those are odd beasts.
They look more like Tupperware then a boat.

Like sheep following the sheppard,
they were being lead to the gamming tables of Atlantis...
where each one would be properly fleeced in turn.

The problem with the rain is that it was going to put a damper on the Halloween Deck Party scheduled for Deck 11 that afternoon. (Damper! Ha!)

There may be a “Saturday Night Fever” joke in here somewhere,
but the disjointed images here actually remind me more of a scene from “Airplane”.

Count Mic-ula

…while Evankin Skywalker and Obi-Wan KaBarry protected the ship from the Empire.

More like “Odor-Wan Commodie” and "Luke Skystinker".
Or maybe given your relative size difference,
you should have been the "roids":

“C3-PU” and “Fart-You-Me-Too”.

Just wanted to pop in real quick & say 2 things:

1. Happy Father's Day! Hope you had a wonderful day with your family.

and

2. I was able to utilize some info from your last TR this past weekend. My DH had to drive to Houston on Saturday for a quick business meeting. My DS & I ended up going with him & we got a hotel room to make it a mini-getaway. Anyway, once he got out of his meeting, we were trying to think of something fun to do for our son after lunch. I remembered reading in your TR about the aquarium & the rides (especially the train). So, that's where we went. We had such a fun time!

 

[FreezinRafiki]

So Barry is Mater in this scenario? Yeah, sounds about right.

Evan has a t-shirt with Mater that says "Who Backfired?"

Yes, I'm jealous that I don't have one.

Thank God... an update to finally get this trainwreck back on the tracks.

But....then....how is it a trainwreck...if it's on the tracks?

If you love your kids, you will remove this zombie apocalypse picture of them before Fed makes them disappear.

He's busy enough with the zombies in Florida to worry about the ones in Wisconsin.

I don't know what you're trying to do, Barry, but you look like the world's worst ninja!

It's a combination mummy pose/Elvis pose. It's all the rage in Europe these days.

How was the elevator ride to that deck? Do you think Mark could handle it?

The ride up is fine. The down, then up, then down, then down some more, then waaaay up, then down, then up, then down, then all the way down might be a bit harder for him.

What's the fun of doing that?

FORE!!!

I've been involved in enough "international incidents". I've been told that the State department won't cover for me anymore.

She knows how it's supposed to be done.

Now all she needs is some sweet golfing pants.

Why didn't you use the force?

I've been involved in enough "intergalactic incidents". I've been told that the Alliance won't cover for me anymore.

Help me Obi-One KaBarry - you're my only hope!


Nope...just doesn't have the same ring to it!

I agree. It's better!

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Just what are you posing as? I'm really ....but the kids look great (and they always do)

The goofball dad? Nah, that can't be right....

How cool that you can play minigolf on the ship.

Every time you turn around there's either something to do or something to eat. I love it!

The party looks like so much fun; and I love your costumes...especially Bambi and Madison.

Thanks! Those girls really know how to accessorize, don't they?

I love the "dotted lines"!!!! I need those on a real golf course..

Each hole had an "adult" line (Goofy's feet) and an "kid" line (Max's feet). They were very well themed!

Great costumes.

Thanks!

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Beware of those Caribbean witch doctors they'll do a number on you.

Speaking from experience?

Karate Kid?

The crane technique is impossible to defeat.

Cool. Better make sure that Mark doesn't go here, imaging taking the elevator down from the 13th floor.... I think I've heard of that from somewhere...

That's only in hotels. The ship is more like a collection of guest rooms ... that you pay to stay in .... with maid service ... Nope, you're right. Mark better be careful.

Don't take pictures in the midst of a back swing it could cause unfortunate consequences like getting hit in the goofballs.

Tiger's caddy was nowhere to be found.
Nor was his Buick.

See, I told you.

Really?

You expected something less of me? Or more of me?

I thought Bambi had special parade / party viewing powers?

Her powers only work on Brazilian tour groups. It's both a blessing and a curse.

I wonder if Tim has a setup like this?

I'll bet his living room does that.

Obi-Wan KaBarry? I was thinking more like Qui-Gon Barry or maybe Jar Jar Barry?

Hey-now! Thats-a hittin' below-a the belt!

Great update Barry. I'm beginning to think Halloween on the High Seas might be a fun excursion.

Yes, yes it is.

Great update! I love the character photos that you guys got, those costumes on the characters are great!

They played the parts very well, too! Donald loved his superhero outfit!

We took our Madison mini golfing last week-it was scary.

We went out on father's day. My Madison almost took me out with a line shot.

The party looks like fun! Why don't people let little kids stand in front of them? It's so rude.

Same thing at WDW for parades. Just sad.

Your costumes are awesome! Looks like a great Halloween at sea!

Thanks!

What a fun update!

I love the characters in their Halloween costumes. So cute!

It was a blast!

The party looks like it was fun!

And I like that all of y'all dressed in costume!

We can't let the kids have all the fun!

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Have I mentioned how cool your kids are?

Probably. But it's always fun to hear it some more.

I'll agree with Brian on your pose in the Goofy picture as being the Crane Technique.

Next time I see you, I'm so going to sweep the leg. Just letting you know.

Yikes! I'd contact Disney Customer Service about this. You might be able to get a free cruise out of them.

That's a excellent idea! I'll ask for a few pre and post nights in the castle suite while I'm at it.

I wish they had this on the Wonder. Now I guess we'll have to go back.

Did I twist your arm?

I know others have said they wish every golf course had a line showing you where to hit it like this, but honestly, I don't think that would help me. I'd have to be able to hit it where I was aiming.

You mean you weren't aiming for that tree? And that sand? And that water? And that car driving down the street? Because I was.

Good thing she didn't have Tiger's caddie there with her.

Heck no. It's hard enough paying for my family to cruise. I'm bringing along a support staff. She can carry her own club between holes.

How come that wasn't on the excursions list? That sounds better than all of them!

I'll bet they were heading for shore to see if they could get a ride on the Dirty Barry.

Time to start crop-dusting...

Too many innocent civilians at discharge height.

Nice job with the costumes!

Thanks!

Thanks!

or is it a rather limp-wristed mummy/zombie kind’a thing?

Actually, I think I was going for the mummy pose, but I didn't want get in between Madison and the camera. Bad things have been know to happen to people that do that. Bad things.

And I like this one as well but again,
you look like your about to topple over.
Were you and gravity just not getting along?

Arrrrr...just trying to get me sea legs back after that little walk-about on dry land.

Rather then yelling “Four!”…
I think the more appropriate warning signal here might have been:

“Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole!”

Those are odd beasts.
They look more like Tupperware then a boat.

I'm just glad they got clearance to paint them yellow. Orange ones would look awful on that beautiful of a ship.

But at least Tupperware is water-tight. I've heard that's important in a boat.

Like sheep following the sheppard,
they were being lead to the gamming tables of Atlantis...
where each one would be properly fleeced in turn.

Yup. Sure was a pretty building, but I had no urges to go there at all.

There may be a “Saturday Night Fever” joke in here somewhere,
but the disjointed images here actually remind me more of a scene from “Airplane”.

Looks like Goofy picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Count Mic-ula

I vant to eat your cheeeeese!

More like “Odor-Wan Commodie” and "Luke Skystinker".
Or maybe given your relative size difference,
you should have been the "roids":

“C3-PU” and “Fart-You-Me-Too”.

I think someone has spent just a little too much time thinking these up.
They'e good, don't get me wrong, I just think it was a little too much time.

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Just wanted to pop in real quick & say 2 things:

1. Happy Father's Day! Hope you had a wonderful day with your family.

Thank you so much! We had a great day - lunch on the patio next to a waterfall at a Mexican restaurant then some minigolf. Good day!

2. I was able to utilize some info from your last TR this past weekend. My DH had to drive to Houston on Saturday for a quick business meeting. My DS & I ended up going with him & we got a hotel room to make it a mini-getaway. Anyway, once he got out of his meeting, we were trying to think of something fun to do for our son after lunch. I remembered reading in your TR about the aquarium & the rides (especially the train). So, that's where we went. We had such a fun time!

You mean....I'm relevant? And useful?!? Holy cow, how did that happen?!? Glad you liked the aquarium! That place is really cool!

Probably…
Those have been “floating around” for a rather long time amongst my local circle of friends. W-a-y back when we were in our teens (and there was only one of those six films) and we had time (and the correct frame of mind) to ponder such things, a bunch of us sat around one late night and devised the concept of “Fume Wars”. Needless to say that by the time we ran out of pizza and beverages (and the sun was rising so we had to get to class) all the characters and most of the artifacts had their names altered to suite the theme.

Like we had something better to do…

Ahhhh, yes. The teenage years. When the only responsibility you had was...umm....I'm sure I'll think of something.....
