You're the best parents in the world! I gotta pee! Where's My Tooth? Trip report!

[Gabes_mommy]

I just read your HS update - it looks like you had a great day. I love the pictures of the crafty squirrel.

Thanks for all the info about CBR - we are staying there for the first time in September and I can't wait.

Great Updates!!! I love all the pictures of Lights,Motor,Action show. We saw it for the first time in April and loved it!!! That's so awesome that the CM had everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to your son. What a great thing to do!! I'm sure it made your son's day. We have never seen Fantasmic before but really want to try to on our trip in August. Great pictures!!!
Can't wait to read more......

I only posted about half of the Lights, Motor Action show. At least those were some of the pictures that were retrieved.

Hunter thought it was really cool that everybody stopped to sing to him. What a great castmember!

You gotta see Fantasmic. It's a truly awesome show.

Great updates!!! Congrats on just about being paid...that is a wonderful feeling!!!

The squirrel that is too much...you seem to pick up on it all, I look at the bigger picture to see the small details; I really need to slow down.

We did catch the Nemo show...I had watched an interview w/the puppeteers they said you are suppose to watch both the puppet and the puppeteer if that helps...it did help me, I was a little taken aback when one of the people started singing w/o his puppet --lol!! I have to day I did enjoy it and Ashton did too!! Can't wait to see what he does next year.

I love it when you get down to just the last few hundreds of dollars on paying the trip off. I know I always feel like at least if something happens around the house, I can still find a couple of hundred dollars somewhere.

We are going to give the Nemo show another try because Lacey hasn't seen it. But, to us, the show was just....well....weird.

I love the squirrel pics.

Me too! For the first few years that we went to Disney, we concentrated on seeing and doing everything we possibly could. Now that we have 13 trips under our belt, I try to find the out of the ordinary things. This squirrel was out of the ordinary thing this trip. Crafty little thing.

I just found your trip report and you can count me in! We too are going this August (15th-23rd). I loved the surprise, all the pee pee stories, laughed out loud at the tooth(could have been worse...my friend swallowed hers!!!) and got a chuckle out of the nut thief...I can't wait for more!


Oh and bonus.....I love the ghost hunter story thrown in as an extra treat!!!

Thanks for joining in. August can't get here soon enough. We will be there August 6th through the 15th.

I'm glad I was able to provide you with a few chuckles. We are a funny bunch of folks and we don't even try.

Just found your TR and finished catching up. Wow what fun so far. So you stay at CBR alot. This upcoming trip will be our first time. We normally like POR
But we are trying something new.
What a great time. That is great that so many people stopped to sing to Hunter.
I can't wait to read more.

Yeah, the CBR is a great resort. We wanted to try something new this year and we thought we'd have family traveling with us (they needed a value resort) so we chose to book a stay at Pop. I'm sure gonna miss the CBR though.

Sounds like a great day at DHS! And ending with Fantasmic...what could be better?!

Cute squirrel pictures...that sneaky little thing!

There's nothing better than ending a hot and tiring day with a fantastic Disney show!

Wow, I haven't read in a while and I missed 8 pages! Great TR; love the toilet and tooth stories and your ablility to laugh at yourself. I thought things like that only happened to me.

Glad you liked TSM. It was being built on our last trip so I can't wait to try.

BTW, I just booked a ressie for 9/19-27 at CBR; it's our first stay there. I hope we like it. I can't wait!

I'm glad you're all caught up. Oh, if some kind of crazy thing is gonna happen, it's gonna happen to me! It's like I am a mishap magnet or something.

The CBR is a great resort. I'll be posting more pictures that I took of the resort soon.

Oh, that is just creepy about your office. You should play a game: leave the bathroom door locked and see if it maybe becomes "unlocked" during the night!

Oooh Mel, I forgot to post something earlier today but my boss just came in fussing about the bathroom door again. We decided to lock the bathroom door over the weekend. Guess what!!!!???!!! When I came in this morning, I went to the bathroom and it was unlocked!!!!! I've gotta bring my camera in and take some pictures so you can see what kind of bells I am talking about that are NOT ringing!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Hi again

What a great day at DHS, you got so much done! And congrats on being guest of the hour. Have to say i think Hunter looks great in his hat, maybe a bit hot, but still great

I'm sooo sorry, I just realized I didn't respond to your earlier post. We did have a great day at Hollywood Studios. It was hot but nothing like the heat of Louisiana. Heck, today, our high is supposed to be 96 and it's just the middle of June.

Hunter thought he was quite the looker in his hat. When we were in Missouri, he bought a whip at Silver Dollar City so he's all set to look like Indiana Jones.

 

[basketlacey]

Thanks for posting your trip report! I am enjoying it!

We are headed for our third trip in October and I can hardly wait. The kids don't know yet but we will tell them before we go. We are going with my MIL and FIL and SIL and her family. Part of the fun will be planning with their cousins!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Wow, what details! Thank goodness for the dis. Without this website, I don't think I would know anything about WDW.

Like I said in my detailed post, I wanted to know everything about the CBR. When I say everything, I meant everything. But, I couldn't find EVERYTHING. Thus, the birth of my details for all my fellow Disers to see.

It was super hard keeping the secret but well worth the wait. His reaction was priceless. I hope you're able to keep the secret as long as you can.

Another great update .

 

[mickeystoontown]

Just a teaser....sorry ya'll! Day three was our Magic Kingdom day. Did we make it to rope drop? You'll have to wait until tomorrow for an update.

 

[vleeth]

No fair teasing us that way!

 

[Paula R Johns]

I have been lurking since yesterday. Tell Hunter I decided to read this trip report because of the name he gave it. Thought the story about your tooth was hilarious.

 

[jenseib]

Wow! I'm all caught up again. I don't know how I got several pages behind! LOL!
I love the bathroom door. That is so funny. and that squirrel cracked me up. Did the CM notice him at all? so did mr swuireel just open a package and start eating out of it? I hope no one bought that bag. LOL!

Where do you get your items to sell on ebay. I always say I wish I had stuff to sell, but I don't really, and what I do looks like it wouldn't go for much anyways. I am having a garage sale this weekend though to get rid of stuff thats been collecting.

Glad you came out of lurkdome. I'll definitely tell Hunter that you came over because of his catchy title. I actually changed it a little bit because I wanted to add in the Where's My Tooth but it's still basically the same.

I don't know why the lock on the door caught my eye but it did and I thought it was so cute I had to take a picture of it. Mr. Squirrel was really sneaky and I have a feeling he had done this many times because he didn't go for the package in the front, he actually hid behind the ones hanging in the front. He bit a hole in the bag and pulled out one nut at a time.

I try to pick up ebay items when stores put their stuff on clearance. Before I buy an item, I think....what will I do with this if it doesn't sell?.....what if I get stuck with it? I want to make sure that I can: 1) give it as a gift if it doesn't sell; 2) keep it and do something with it myself; or 3) sell it in our annual garage sale and still make a profit. I also never sell anything over $15.00 with most being less than that. I know when I am shopping around on ebay, I want something cheap and if I saw something for $15.00 or less, I'd probably buy it whether or not I really needed it. So, far, I've done really good with my sales. Good enough to have paid off three of our annual Disney vacations!

That is just so creepy to me!!!! But completely interesting, at the same time! Please post pics - I'd love to see them! I'm such a sucker for ghost stories. Like you, I watch those ghose shows on t.v. - drives DH crazy, but hey, that's why we have an extra set, he can watch whatever he wants. I love the show "A Haunting" the best.

I'll be on the lookout for more ghost stories...

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

Okay, I'm FINALLY all caught up on your TR. I don't know how I got behind either, but apparently, this thread moves FAST!

Just a couple of comments:

I LOL'd at the Hiney Hiders lock. Imagine what the people on the other side of the stall thought when they heard/saw your flash go off???? I can just imagine those people standing there wondering what you could possibly find so interesting inside your bathroom stall that you were taking a picture????

Secondly, that WAS a crafty little critter, getting into those nuts like that. Based on those pics, he's definitely done that before! And how he knew that those were nuts in those particular packs is beyond me. Amazing!!! And of course, you've got it all on camera. Glad you didn't lose those pics.

Thirdly, thanks for posting Fantasmic. I've yet to see it and I'm quite disappointed about that. Well, there's always next year, I hope!!!

More, please!!!!

 

[LovingDisny]

looks like you have a wonderful family. I love Oddball. Can't wait to read more.

It's actually getting quite fun. Like I said, when we first moved in, we didn't think much about it. We thought we were misplacing things or leaving things in other rooms. Now, it's fun to come in and see what's been done overnight. Sometimes, it's nothing. Sometimes, it's just a little thing moved around.

The reason we are so adamant about locking the bathroom door is....I hate saying it but I will so you will know.....there is an old man, Duck, who comes by and he's pretty much a drunk but he's an old family friend of my boss. My boss and his mom and dad pay him a little to take out the trash and vacuum. He kept going into the bathroom and I don't know what he does but he stops up the toilet every time. And, he smells really really bad too. We decided to start locking the bathroom and we keep the key in a drawer in our copy room. It's way behind a bunch of other stuff and Duck doesn't know it's in there. Now, Duck isn't using the bathroom but, obviously, the ghosts are.

More, please!!!!

You are so going to think we are a bunch of nuts but you already do so I'll go ahead and tell you another story. For several years, Lacey and I tried to come up with a picture taking theme. One year, it was bathrooms. We were inspired by the various bathroom signs. The one near Rock n' Roller Coaster had a guitar. The one in Fantasyland had Prince and Princess. The one near Space Mountain had a robot looking lady. So, we took a picture of the signs and then she and I got a little "goofy" with our pictures. I had pictures of her coming out of the bathroom stall, coming out of the bathroom building, and pointing to the bathroom entrance. I even had a picture of her feet sticking out from underneath the bathroom stall door. We had so much fun taking those pictures. They were really stupid pictures but fun to do. See, I told you we were nuts.

Oh I could definitely tell the squirrel knew what he was doing. He even waited until the cashier turned her back before running up the pole.

You've got to see Fantasmic. It's a great show and a not to be missed in our book.

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

You sound like so much fun! I'm certain that there's never a dull moment around your house!

And thanks for the info on the ghosts and the bathroom door. Do you think Duck is maybe moving some of those items around????

There's never a dull moment at our house. But, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Nope! Duck doesn't have a key to the building. He only comes in once a week and only when we are here. Like I said, he likes to hit the bottle quite a bit so they don't trust him with a key. My boss is a wine connoisseur (that's fancy talk for he likes wine ) and has some of the bottles he has picked from his travels stored in our back room. Given the fact that Duck likes to drink, my boss also keeps a pretty good eye on him while he's here.

Well, there went that theory!

There's only one explanation, It MUST be ghosts!!!!

I'm loving this, can't you tell? So long as it doesn't happen to me personally, that is. A personal ghost experience might creep me out a little too much...
