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

That is just plain RUDE. There is nothing wrong with cargo type jean shorts. What planet is this guy from? My DH doesn't wear them because they are not comfortable to him, but both my sons do. I don't get it.

I think that guy is actually the clueless one. Too bad you can't get all the nice people at Intercot over here so that you can give that place up!

 

[aaaateamsgrandma]

I'm about to try to type another Magic Kingdom update but I wanted to tell ya'll something first. I am a bit put off by some of the posters on Intercot. As you'll remember, I've had some really nice comments made about my trip report. Rave reviews even. I have had one lady say she'll be there the same time and if she spots me she's going to stop and have her picture made with me because I am a celebrity.

Anyway, a few days ago, I posted that I apologized for not posting an update yet but we had some shopping to do for John. He needed new shorts. And, some smart *** asked if John would be wearing jorts again. And then somebody posted "that's hilarious". Then the original poster came back and made another comment about jorts. Now, I know that jean shorts aren't the most fashionable thing for men to wear. But, the ones that John did have on were not the old timey cut off jean shorts or the really tight jean shorts. They were the cargo type jean shorts. Needless to say, I was pissed. I almost posted "Didn't your mama ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." But I didn't. I posted something funny instead.

Maybe I took it the wrong way? Ya'll know that I have no problem whatsoever with people laughing at the things we do, the things we have happen to us or the things that we say. But I don't like being made fun of. They can kiss my Louisiana butt as far as I am concerned.

The only reason I am finishing up my report over there is because I have too many nice readers on Intercot.

And that's my "vent for the day".

I never did like those Intercot people. I just got Don to wear kahki shorts a couple of years ago. Worse yet he went to Bass Pro and got those thin water repellent kind so he wouldn't stay so wet. He always used to wear the denim ones. So I guess they can be rednecks together.

We love you on Dis and where else could I have so much fun while working?

Let's see, Hunter has danced in the roundup with a horse named Bullseye (see I remembered this time), we ate some yummy food at Pecos Bills', we had a blast on Big Thunder Mountain, missed seeing the hidden Tinkerbell because of crowds, got wet on Splash Mountain, played like we dropped our ice cream....whew! Now we're off to visit the 999 Haunted Mansion ghosts.

I took these pictures of the tombstones because at Halloween we like to decorate our yard. So far, we have two headstones already with Haunted Mansion "sayings". I wanted to see what these said we we could make a couple of new ones.

Madame Leota's are too creepy!

We go into the stretch room and they made us fill in "all the dead space". There were several older teenager couples who were beside us. John noticed they had "first visit" pins on so we told them about looking up when the lights go out. I remember the first few times we rode Haunted Mansion, I didn't know to look up to see the hanging Master Gracey above our heads. Of course, when the lights went out, they looked up and the girls screamed bloody murder. I didn't mean to scare them. I just wanted them to look up and see!

You all know that I can't stand the whole "push your way in the line" and the whole "feel like a bunch of herded cows" part that's required to get on the ride. There has got to be a better way for Disney to handle the exiting the stretch room part. We always get squooshed.

Well, this time, I got squooshed and right behind a sweaty stinky lady in front of me. I'm sorry but don't people know that they smell? I can smell her! John can smell her! Hunter is holding his nose! Can't she smell herself? Wear deodorant people! I pack a stick of deodorant in the backpack so I can do a little touch up in the middle of the day. My makeup is worn off, my hair is sticking up but my underarms are all fresh and clean! Thankfully, when we get a little further into the herd, the stinky lady falls behind to torment somebody else's nose behind us.

The teenager group happened to end up ahead of us and we chatted with them until it was time to get on. It was so fun to hear them scream in certain parts. They weren't the obnoxious loud teenagers that make an attraction a living heck for others. They were just having a good time and it was fun to hear them. When we got off, they got on the conveyor belt thingie and talked with us a little more. They asked where was the best spot to get a good burger and we highly recommended Pecos Bills. They thanked us and we wished each other a good evening. I like those kind of good teenagers. They seem so hard to find now-a-days.

Up next on our list of things to see and do was Fantasyland. But, a little peek around the corner told us it was still too busy. Since the Magic Kingdom would be open until 2:00 a.m., we weren't in much of a hurry. It was decided that we'd go back over to Adventureland for a little while.


****Okay, I'm going to stop here. My boss still has a client with him and they need to hurry up and leave so we can go to lunch. My tummy is rumbling!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

I bought Danny a pair of plaid and a pair of khaki's finally this year for our past trip; but, all he wants is "jorts"--never heard them called that before Danny is so tall that I like jean shorts on him...sorry if I'm behind the times we wear what is comfortable and what we think looks good. Oh well!!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Good for you laugh it off. No one likes being made fun of - and since when did jean shorts on guys become "unfashionable?" My DF wears jean shorts, they aren't mid thigh length and they certainly aren't cut offs... eh well... We love you here on the Dis, booooo to intercot!

It's fine to laugh at the funny antics you guys do, because we are laughing ALONG WITH YOU! That was a jab at John from some severely insecure dummy who needs to get a life! That makes me angry. There's nothing wrong with a guy wearing jean shorts so long as they aren't too short. I never noticed his shorts anyways. Again, somenone needs to get a life! I dislike Intercot.

That is just plain RUDE. There is nothing wrong with cargo type jean shorts. What planet is this guy from? My DH doesn't wear them because they are not comfortable to him, but both my sons do. I don't get it.

Thanks ya'll! I was just so mad. I would never point out a specifici person in a post and say something about them. NEVER! That's just outright mean. I don't do mean.

Now, as you'll see when you read my latest update. I did say that the lady in front of me was in dire need of a shower and some deodorant but she is a totally anonymous person. She is not someone that is posting here on the boards (at least I guess not). I didn't post her picture so I could make fun of her. She remains a totally unknown person. Nobody will ever know who she is.

On to the issue of jean shorts. I have a lot of them. I personally like jean shorts because you can put anything on with them, just like a pair of blue jeans. You're going to see me with jean shorts on in my next trip report. Just a warning!

 

[dismagiclover]

The Haunted Mansion! I love this ride, but I made the mistake of taking my kids on it when they were too young. It scared them and they all now refuse to ride it Hopefully someday I can talk them into it again.

The only reason John didn't want more jean shorts this year is because we are going to table service restaurants nearly every night and he wants to wear something a little nicer than jeans. He also has a whole lotta jean shorts and didn't need anymore. Thus, we bought khakis.

I guess we're just too far behind on fashion trends to know any better.

Yeah, Lacey got scared by the hitchhiker at the end one year and refused to ride it the next year. But, she rode it the next trip and has ridden it every trip since then.

There is no excuse for smelly people. Alex might have said something. When we went on our cruise four years ago (he was 6). We got in a packed elevator and the first words out of his mouth were "ok, who farted?" We all could have died. Sandi immediately turned every shade of red and we were laughing so hard we almost forgot to apologize for his words. He did get a talk when we got out which was the very next floor by the way. I don't know if we ever saw those people again. If we did they never said anything. It was mean but funny.

I love HM as does everyone in my family. We hoot and hollar all the way thru the thing. We love it when it is new people on as Tim and Alex. All I can say is it is a good thing they don't scare easily.

 

[MadilynnsMomma]

Thanks for the tip about HM, I have been to Disney once and we did not go on HM - I will be sure to do so this time! Is it in the stretch room or on the ride its self?

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

I didn't know to look up when the lights went out!!! How come I never knew this before? Well, now I HAVE to go back next year so that I can look up on HM. DH, you'll have to cruise alone! You learn something new every day...

Eww to the stinky lady. There was a woman I used to work with who passed away several years ago, she said "if you have smelled yourself, then someone else has already smelled you." I try to keep that in mind and I, like you, LIsa, keep deoderant with me every where I go! I have one in my car (not this time of year, though, it melts!), one in my desk drawer, one in my purse. I can look like crap at Disney, too (and I have), but I sure won't smell like it!

Ginny: That is hilarious about Alex calling out the "pooter" in the elevator! Too funny!

Mitchell did something similar when he was three on the bus at Disney. For some reason, Mitchell loves to look at women with pretty hair. He always has. If I fix my hair, he never fails to tell me that he thinks "I'm beautiful". Aww! Even when he was three, he was this way. Well in 2008, we sat behind an older lady who had curly hair which was sprayed flat to her head. We were directly behind her and Mitchell piped up, "Momma, I DON'T LIKE HER HAIR!" The lady never turned around, but several other people turned to look. I thought I was going to die. I whispered in his ear that wasn't a nice thing to say and he told me again that "her hair isn't nice. I don't like it!"

I smile looking back on that, but I was embarrassed at the time. Children are so honest, aren't they?

Oh my goodness! Did you guys tape his mouth shut after that incident? Just kidding, you know that is so something we McBride's would say.

You'll be shown in a "stretch room". Go all the way back in and fill in the "dead space". Sorry, had to say it. Anyway, once you are in the room, the room will start stretching. Make sure you look at all the different pictures hanging on the wall. Then, lightning will strike and the lights will go out. Look straight above your head. You'll see Master Gracey "hanging around".

 

[longing2Batdisney]

My very first trip to WDW was in '75 (about that) I was 7! well I was very scary (Ihad very mean cousins--rouge a roux was their favorite to get me with). Well, I rode through the entire thing with my eyes closed at the end my dad leans over and tells me its over and I look up just in time to see the hitch hicker and hear the little monolgue at the end...needless to say scared the daylights out of me could not sleep for a week...this is my most vivid memory of my first trip to disney

Yea, you gotta look up and see Master Gracey. I don't remember how I knew to do it but I did....just not the first trip or two.

The stinky lady was pretty bad. Thank goodness she was a "straggler" and fell behind in the line. I don't think I could have stood standing by her for very long. She was just yuck! And, by the way, I have deodorant in my desk drawer too. I also have super glue in my purse, super glue in my desk drawer, super glue in my car and extra super glue at home! Knew ya'll would get a kick out of that reminder.

Children can be honest to a fault sometimes. I can certainly sympathize with you on the kid remarks. By the way, I had to giggle a little at the "I don't like her hair!" remark.

When Hunter was little, real little, hardly talking little, we were in WalMart and couldn't find something. An employee came up to us and asked if he could help us. He had dark orange dreadlocks. Yes, I said, dark orange dreadlocks. Hunter pointed to him and said "you ugggg". "Ugggg" meant ugly at the time. Thank goodness the guy had no idea what Hunter had said.

Lisa,
I just emailed you with two emails...if you do not rcv them let me know. I have never sent out an email from facebook so I don't know how it works.

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Great Haunted Mansion pictures and story! I've never gotten to ride it yet. Can't get either of the kids to ride it. DS10 loves high and fast, but not dark and scary. DS7 is the opposite, he doesn't really care for high and fast but dark and scary doesn't usually bother him. Except for the HM. . . We got into the first room and he wanted to leave - now!!

Maybe someday!

Looks like you're recovering from the move and are back on the Dis! Hooray for that. After that once incident where Lacey got scared, we had just one incident with Hunter where he got scared. Now, it's a must do. Splash Mountain is a whole 'nother story.

Maybe one day your guys will be ready to ride Haunted Mansion.
