Zen And The Art Of PTR Maintenance. Sept 2016 PTR. 16/4 Trip Report Anyone??

[pkondz]

I totally understand these fears and I had them myself. But the people here are super nice and for the most part don't judge each other for much. Also - if you follow others and comment and put a link to your PTR in your signature you will get at least a few followers pretty quick. I don't claim to be DIS royalty or anything but just by hanging around here I've gotten to "meet" quite a few awesome people and learn a lot in the process. Also, the comments you get when you are planning are really helpful. And hey...I find it helpful to write it out on here even if it is just for you in the end...it just clarifies things and makes it easier to plan.

Sorry to hijack your PTR lol...but the more the merrier

Don't listen to her! She's evil! Evil I say!
She will force you to write and then mock you incessantly!

Run! Run while you still can!!!!!

Happy Birthday America! We don't own you anymore!

So I'm sure you are thinking I'm about to tell you I changed our plans again and now we are booked in for a trip to the moon but HA! I haven't changed a thing! In fact everything is locked in and I even paid part of it off!

So you are probably wonder what the heck this post is about if its not about another teeny tiny change like last time!

Actually... no.

I know you never know what the hell I'm posting about but for the sake of happy little poodles can we just pretend that this makes some kind of sense??

Poodles?

Actually, that's a phrase I use all the time when I am or someone is leaving.
Toodles from poodles!

Well tough who's PTR is this anyway?!?!

I thought it was a community endeavor where everyone was welcome to participate.


Apparently...


Not so much.

Oh yeah it was after our soft opening at BOG! Still sounds dirty...anyway!

Not at all.
I don't expect a proper English lady like yourself to say anything dirty.... ever... so the thought never crossed my mind.


Really.



Honest.





Truly.








not.

I vividly remember it was so cold this morning and I was freezing standing on that platform in my short and T-shirt.

I have a very dirty thought here too.
I'll take the high road and keep it to myself.


Unlike some people I know.

Can I just take a moment to say how much I LOVE the monorail??

Please do.
After all, as you so cold-bloodedly reminded us... it's your TR.

It is just perfect!

There. I bet you feel better now.

Did anyone else ride at the front when they were kids? So much fun!

No. I didn't even know that was possible for the longest time.
But I did get the family up there on one of our two trips to the World.
And now, if you want to do that, you have to go to DL.

Now I only have one photo of Epcot! But it's enough to prove we actually went there!

Very nice photo.
Isn't Google amazing?

Seriously it was ridiculous! I think we waited like thirty minutes!

For LWTL???


Nope!

but did they really have to take really good attractions out and replace them with crap??

I hear you.
I thought Cranium Command was clever and the one time I rode Body Wars I thought it was pretty good.

And again what did they do to Figment??

Didn't you hear? He got old so they had him stuffed and freeze dried.

But that ride needs a serious overhaul!

Well...there was my Epcot rant for the day! Don't we all feel better?

I know I do!

And on that bomb-shell I'm going leave it there because this is becoming ridiculously long...and not in a good way

That's what she said!

So that's your dose of crazy from me today! If anyone actually made sense of any of this then well done!
And...can you explain it to me?!?!

Nope. Sorry. You're on your own.

I saw Magic Mike XXL yesterday and totally thought of you, Lu!

[PastryLover]

Planning our first trip for around this time next year and enjoyed reading through your posts.

At this point is there really a high road?

Please do.

HEY!! THAT IS ALL MY OWN AMAZEBALLS PHOTO SKILLZ!!!!

Didn't you hear? He got old so they had him stuffed and freeze dried.

Nope. Sorry. You're on your own.

Well darn!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

This should be what all movies are like...all the time...*drool*

OMG I want to see that....

Love your old Epcot update lol. Also I love the retro pics...so cute!! I keep meaning to go to my parents' place and try to dig up some old Disney pics...I hope there are some somewhere!!

I love looking through all our old photos and see how it has changed.

Thanks for stopping by! Another next year planner!

When are you planning for?

 

[pkondz]

I never would.

I knew I could count on you.

At this point is there really a high road?

No. I suppose not.

Oooohhhh... touched a nerve there did I?

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

I just wanted to give you all a real life update after you we all so sweet with all your well wishes after my engagement.

As of Monday I'm no longer planning my wedding.

Former DF came up early on Sunday and he dropped a bombshell on me that meant I ended our relationship.

I feel so upset and embarrassed that I am having to post this but as I no longer have a DF I didn't want to just stop mentioning him and confuse you all.

So this has basically been me for the last three days...

I'm not going to lie and say this is turning out to be the best week of my life but I think under the circumstances I am doing better than I ever thought I would.

So if I start posting sad song lyrics or seem more crazy than usual this is why.

Sorry to dump all of this on you guys but I just drank some wine and I felt like letting out my feelings through gifs.

Please feel free to ignore this post. If I was you I would too...

Oh, crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!
Lu! I'm so, so sorry to hear this!
Geez!
I feel just terrible for you.
Again, so sorry to hear that.

So if I start posting sad song lyrics or seem more crazy than usual this is why.

Totally understandable.
You go right ahead.

Sorry to dump all of this on you guys but I just drank some wine and I felt like letting out my feelings through gifs.

Don't apologize. You certainly don't have anything to apologize for.

Please feel free to ignore this post. If I was you I would too...

Nope.
No way.

Dang. If I could, I'd be banging on your door right now to give you a hug in person.
Unfortunately, this will just have to do for now.

Wow, that's quite a bombshell. I'm so sorry. But we certainly won't ignore this at all!! We're here for what goes on IRL as well as Disneytalk!! Take care of yourself and feel free to vent away as much as you need! Hugs from Toronto too!!

 

[alrushton]

Go ahead you have a right to feel down. I am so sorry things turned out this way.



A little Gilmore Girls humor for you.

 

[cinderkelly]

Oh Lu
My heart goes out to you. Big hugs. You need a Magic Mike moment for sure. Take care sweetie.

Omg Lu, Sending SOOOO many hugs your way my love

I know it's easier said than done but please stay strong!! One day you'll have everything so great and perfect, and you'll look back at this and think - everything happens for a reason (one of my mottos) You are such a pretty, hilarious girl! This decision will lead you to better things, I'm sure of it!!!

I'm totally here if you need to talk / rant (currently writing my dissertation, so permanently procrastinating on the Dis!) - please feel free to drop me a PM, or add me on facebook if you want to chat

Thank you

And I take all my advice from Gilmore Girls!

That's the way I cope with things!

Oh Lu

Thank you
I wouldn't mind a Magic Mike moment.

Omg Lu, Sending SOOOO many hugs your way my love

Even though it is so hard and I am so upset by it all I know that it was the right thing. Trust is the number one thing for me (I've been burned in the past) and after what he did I can't trust him and though it kills me right now its better that I found out before I married him.

You are such a sweetheart! I will probably be PMing you after one too many tequilas and quoting Dirty Dancing and Crazy Stupid Love whilst crying!

So future apologies for that



I just want to say that you are all such amazing friends and all I can say is Thank You and

 

[pkondz]

Hang in there, okay?
Feel free to watch Dirty Dancing until you're sick of it.
Then switch to Crazy Stupid Love.

Repeat.


While scarfing down ice cream.
And pizza.
And tequila.

 

[Elevationist]

And tequila.

Lu, no! Oh my gosh, i'm so so so sorry. If I was rich, i'd fly to you right now and give you a big hug Did you have a feeling that this was coming when you saw him that Sunday?? If you ever want to vent, please feel free to PM or FB me. Good thing I don't know what he looks like, i'd want to hunt him down!

And never be sorry for 'dumping' this on us! We're all friends here, to support each other and sometimes things in life just don't go as planned and we need people to talk to. That's why I love this DIS, I feel so supported here, and I hope you feel like you can come to us also.

Okay so I was quoting things from your last update but erased all of it now cause my replies seem so little to what's really going on. Except for one thing I didn't erase...I need to know..

Is this FOR REAL?!? Please don't tell me Figment moves?!?! As an adult, i'd run so far away from him and SO FAST!!!

I keep flipping from really angry, to ugly crying to fine and laughing. I am just a mess of emotions right now.

It doesn't really help that my job actually involves planning other people's weddings.

Don't worry I didn't actually say that to them! I am a professional

I don't think I could ever get sick of Dirty Dancing. I don't think that is actually possible. But I will keep switching it up because I own an embarrassing amount of rom coms.

I am waaayy ahead of you on that front!

But I chose vodka today cause tequila makes me crazy(er).

(FYI it will take a lot)

Already there

Lu, no! Oh my gosh, i'm so so so sorry. If I was rich, i'd fly to you right now and give you a big hug Did you have a feeling that this was coming when you saw him that Sunday??

I had no idea. Everything was fine that day and then that night he said he had to tell me something and told me he had cheated. He was really apologetic and said it didn't mean anything, like that somehow makes it better?? But this isn't the first time something like this has happened, before and I let it go as they say cheat on me once shame on you cheat on me twice and I make it so you can't pee standing up, that's how that saying goes right?

Feel free to hunt him down!

And never be sorry for 'dumping' this on us! We're all friends here, to support each other and sometimes things in life just don't go as planned and we need people to talk to. That's why I love this DIS, I feel so supported here, and I hope you feel like you can come to us also.

I have to say people here have been so much more supportive then my "real life" friends. I decided to come off Facebook since I told people because some of them were being such...well lets just say that they were like that restaurant you went to that the Dis censored. Basically saying that I was an idiot and they understood why he did what he did.

Which is really lovely.

Not that I actually care but still people can really suck.

Okay so I was quoting things from your last update but erased all of it now cause my replies seem so little to what's really going on.

You didn't have to erase them I love reading your replies!

Except for one thing I didn't erase...I need to know..

Yes from what I remember Figment did move! And he was kind of a perv!

 

[pkondz]

Totally understandable.
Go.
Run, scream, cry, laugh.
Do what you need to do.

It doesn't really help that my job actually involves planning other people's weddings.

Oy.

"Honey? Why is the planner crying? Isn't that my job?"

Don't worry I didn't actually say that to them! I am a professional

But just once..... you'd like to.

But I chose vodka today cause tequila makes me crazy(er).

Is this possible?

(FYI it will take a lot)

The later posts should be real interesting.

I had no idea. Everything was fine that day and then that night he said he had to tell me something and told me he had cheated. He was really apologetic and said it didn't mean anything, like that somehow makes it better?? But this isn't the first time something like this has happened, before and I let it go as they say cheat on me once shame on you cheat on me twice and I make it so you can't pee standing up, that's how that saying goes right?

I was afraid of that, but.... twice???

He's not worthy of you.

Basically saying that I was an idiot and they understood why he did what he did.

Oh, sure.
I mean even if a guy is in a steady relationship, if an attractive girl comes up to him and basically seduces him it's not really his fault.


BULLSH..... uh.... Bull feces!

Any man who can't keep it in his pants no matter what, isn't a man.
Married almost 25 years now and never, ever been tempted.

Even when cute young girls like you post pictures of football stadiums.

 

[Leshaface]

I couldn't. I literally, would want to quit my job in a heartbeat. How you do it, I have no idea. Oh, I guess you have to support your mega Disney trip next year. Aside from wanting to read about your Disney trip, I really wish it was this year for your sake. To have something to look forward to sooner or later and to put you in a better place as well and take your mind off things.

I had no idea. Everything was fine that day and then that night he said he had to tell me something and told me he had cheated. He was really apologetic and said it didn't mean anything, like that somehow makes it better??

I'm so sorry. Not that this means anything now, but I truly hope you find someone that will respect you and love you and want to make time for you. I understand that he was trying to further his career, but that much time apart can never be good for a relationship. I understand that millions of people make it work, but geez, that's gotta be tough.

I have to say people here have been so much more supportive then my "real life" friends. I decided to come off Facebook since I told people because some of them were being such...well lets just say that they were like that restaurant you went to that the Dis censored. Basically saying that I was an idiot and they understood why he did what he did.

Girlfriend I hear ya! I never post things that are going on in my life on FB anymore, I do it here. More people here care about me than my IRL friends. I'd say that's sad, but really, i'd much rather DIS friends know more about me and what's happening in my life, than others. So please feel free to use us and abuse us We like it But for reals, if there's ever a day where you feel like posting 'nonsense' just to get it out, i'll be here to listen and have a shoulder (virtual) to cry on

OH MY GOSH! WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?

I had one of those once. Was married to him for 14 years before I wised up and said I'd had enough. Him being in the Navy didn't help matters any. But I had to find out from the women he had been with what was going on. Good for you for not putting up with that crap for as long as I did. Someday your true prince will come and it will be the best thing ever!

Yes from what I remember Figment did move! And he was kind of a perv!

ROFL! I loved the old figment until I saw this pic! What does that say about me making bad choices when I was younger?
