I see the path on the photo - great shot BTW! So.......we should definitely walk that path on MNSSHP for candy??? I didn't know that - thanks dude(ette?)

I have the binder - sub-divided no less - with a print out of my COLOR CODED spreadsheet inside.

Moleskin - get it @ the drug store (or Wal-Mart). Prevents/relieves blisters from all the walking.

You go to TSI on 1st boat across and look for paintbrushes on the island .When you find 1 (per family) you hand it to the CM raft captian and get a Fastpass for the group.
Sometimes they are hidden well and you can find them later in the day but always on the 1st boat/raft

Fast pass to what??? (And I called myself a disney fan!)

 

[bopper]

As for the paint brushes, I'm assuming that they are talking about the one's on the island. (Ok, drawing a blank here - is it Tom Sawyer's Island?) They are referenced in the Passporter and if you spot them, you're supposed to notify a CM. Never knew what the prize was and we never took the boat over there to look for them.

If you find a paint brush (they have yellow handles with white bristles), you bring it to the person who runs the raft. After you go back across the river, they will ask to meet you by the wall. Then they give you a little certificate good for a "fastpass ride" on either Splash Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain. You use it like a Fastpass...it is only good for that day.
We looked for them during the week before Easter, and found one in the rafters of one of the mines.

I never knew about the paint brushes - that is sooo cool! We're going on our 4th trip this July and we still haven't been on Tom Sawyer's Island.

In 2000 I was up on all this stuff. Now it's 2006 and I need to know - what are the crocks about????

Dude will work and yes you must hit this area in the beginning and

AT THE END They have 4 TEACUPS about 4 feet tall filled with candy along the way.All I can say is they don't want to have to carry any candy back inside

We will miss it this year but will go again next for sure,then MVMCP each other year.

Crocs - these are shoes. Made of funky rubber and many DISer's swear by them. Go to www.crocs.com

My husband and I refer to mine as my ugly shoes. I have 3 pair. Pearl and Navy in the Aspen design. And Purple in the Beach design.

I thought that my DH and I could hang with the big guys. DH brings his laptop with everything on it instead of a three ring binder. I knew about the paint brushes to get extra fast passes, however, I am clueless about the secret paths from SM and MTTF. Somebody let me in on the secret paths so I can still delude myself into thinking that I can hang with the big guys.

paintbrushes to get extra fastpasses? whats that?!

EDIT-oh i read more and saw the answer lol

 

[westjones]

I never knew about the paint brushes either! Wow! Cool! We will have to look for these!

I learn something everyday! I am clueless about paint brushes and extra fast passes.... what'd I miss?

 

[MinnieM3]

And the BODYGLIDE DD wouldn't last a day without that now.

Just when you think you have an inkling they just pile some more on.

Another thing....... and I thought I knew it all....... Bodyglide? What is it and where can I get it????

 

[MinnieM3]

OK, I got the paintbrushes now! Thanks!

 

[Beana9802]

aw but where else but the Dis could you have learned to white out the warning on the refillable mug and save a whooping $12 on a $5000 vacation ????

What do you mean white out? Sounds like a good idea...where do I do it?

 

[tmt martins]

Bodyglide is a deodorant type rollon that puts a layer on you that lets everything glide.

It prevents blisters if you put it on your feet .But DD puts it on arms and legs to prevent chafing as it stops the rubbing from her boardshorts and tops.

You can get it at most high-end running shops and outdoor stores like REI and some Dicks .

lol I have learned alot from these boards too. I just wanted to say you are right up the road from me. I live in oakdale.

I live a bit down the line in Stratford! this year will be my 4th trip to WDW and I seriously wish I could go every year! It's just a little sad when you're big financial decision for 2007 is buy a house or go to WDW.... My parents are always complaining that I "can't go to Disney every year, I have to save money and move out" but what to they know? maybe that's why they're so cranky all the time !

Oh and forget the connecting rooms at the values, now they have family suites.

Ah, but that's the truly deep, dark secret - the suites are great for some families, but others still get more out of two connecting singles. With connecting singles, you give up the kitchenette, but you gain a second bathroom.

What family with teenagers wouldn't rather have a second bathroom instead of the kitchenette?

In our house it's "do we have a baby or go to Disney".

PAINT BRUSHES??? I have NEVER heard of paint brushes... and I mistakenly thought I was in the big leagues! Time to head back down to the minors.

"You People Are Nuts!!... "

So you're telling me something I already knew...!

I know what you mean though. At one point we got to where we would not even mention where we were going to friends and family...like we should be guilty or something???

Now...we make a point of telling them if for nothing else to see their reaction!

Someone please tell me...what's wrong with going somewhere where you have fun and can relax? Who's nuts?
