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

[dancingtodisney]

Hey Hey my DIS peeps!!​

HEY!!! I came looking for you!!! Really happy that you are back!

I was away for the DIS for awhile after my RL went kinda haywire! My dad's health hasn't been great he was hospitalized again in September and kept in for three weeks which was really scary. He is home now but he isn't back to 100% (its more like 65%).

We've touched on this before but I had the scare with my Mam and it really does just turn everything upside down! I'm glad that he is home and on the mend and I'm sure I'm not the only one sending pixie dust your way....

I don't think I mentioned before but my mom and dad own a boarding kennels so while my dad was in hospital they were really short staffed so I took some time off from work to help out. Which was all fine and dandy until my boss called me to let me know she was wrapping up the company and moving to France to be with this guy she met online (three months ago..)

This was a pretty big shock as you might guess!
But it's not actually the worst thing in the world as I had been thinking about leaving and taking a job in the diamond industry, I'm doing a degree with GIA right now, so it just speeded up my plans somewhat!

Wow that's unexpected!! Not as planned but it sounds like it's pushed you in a better direction and you seem to have landed on your feet so that's great!

During this time I might have made some...emm...questionable decisions...i.e. I got back with my ex for a short period while I was somehow separated from my sanity!

OMG TWINS!! Well kinda... I stayed with my now ex during the hard time with my Mam despite the OBVIOUS fact that it was a horrendous idea (that guy somehow made Disney seem less fun... OH THE HORROR)...

I BOOKED OUR FLIGHTS!!!!!

Eeeeeek so exciting!!! And you got upper class!! I'm flying with Virgin in January and looked into upgrading it was super expensive so we passed.

Excited to read more updates... I'm so BAD I'm still working through my trip report (although getting better at updating now) and I've been trying to keep my training journal updated as well... Don't think I've forgotten about my virtual running buddy!!! I bet you did SO MANY virtual runs since we last spoke... AND GUESS WHAT?? I ran a marathon!!!! My first!!! It took FOREVER but I did it... WHOOOOP!

[TheLittleKatie]

(that guy somehow made Disney seem less fun... OH THE HORROR)

This is not the kind of man you need in your life.

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

YES we binge watched it as soon as we got back from Florida! It was so good, Jessica Lange is the Queen of the world Although Dandy is my new favourite AHS villain! He was hilarious!

Also, this is the only show that would EVER be able to make me like and sympathise with THAT HORRIFYING CLOWN. Did you know that clown is the same actor as Bernie from Crazy Stupid Love.. As in, Steve Carell's friend / the young babysitter girls dad..?!

HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING AHS: HOTEL???? You guys....this season might possibly be my FAVORITE season since the first one!! It's amazing!!! Dandy is PERFECT in it (well his name isn't Dandy but you know what I mean) and Lady Gaga...omg. I've never been a big Gaga fan but she has officially converted me!! I'll be her little monster any day!!

Oh God I can't believe I just said that... I'M SORRY ZACHARY QUINTO.. I love you both equally.

I loved Dandy!

(Who does he think his is Kanye?!)

But man I found this season so much more emotionally draining!! Especially Pepper's story!

Seriously AHS stop making us feel things!

Twisty though! Holy crap on a cracker that dude was scary...

Pepper is the best, I cried over her backstory!! So awful!!
AHS gave me pathos over a clown and I still haven't figured out how they managed to do that considering I HATE CLOWNS

Hey Hey my DIS peeps!!

Its been a long time since I did an update on this here PTR so I thought I would do one now!

You're back!! YAY!!! We've missed you!!

I was away for the DIS for awhile after my RL went kinda haywire! My dad's health hasn't been great he was hospitalized again in September and kept in for three weeks which was really scary. He is home now but he isn't back to 100% (its more like 65%).

Oh my goodness!! So sorry to hear about your dad being sick but I am glad he is getting better. Sending prayers and pixie dust his way & I hope he continues to get back to 100%

I don't think I mentioned before but my mom and dad own a boarding kennels so while my dad was in hospital they were really short staffed so I took some time off from work to help out. Which was all fine and dandy until my boss called me to let me know she was wrapping up the company and moving to France to be with this guy she met online (three months ago..)

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....WHO DOES THAT???

This was a pretty big shock as you might guess!
But it's not actually the worst thing in the world as I had been thinking about leaving and taking a job in the diamond industry, I'm doing a degree with GIA right now, so it just speeded up my plans somewhat!

Well thank goodness you have a backup plan!!

Thankfully this trip is already paid for (well I have the money but I haven't given it to Disney yet ) and I have another job sorted out so I'm pretty lucky that I'm not in a financial pickle!

That is VERY lucky and I'm glad this...snafu...won't upset your WDW plans. Because that would just be unacceptable!!

During this time I might have made some...emm...questionable decisions...i.e. I got back with my ex for a short period while I was somehow separated from my sanity!

Girl...I feel ya. And you'll get no judgement from me! I did the same thing a couple years ago with my son's dad. HUGE MISTAKE. Luckily I came to my senses and I am glad you did too! We both deserve wayyyyyyyyyy better

I BOOKED OUR FLIGHTS!!!!!

We are flying Virgin Atlantic from Manchester to Orlando...

UPPPER CLASS!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! That is so exciting!!! #youfancy

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

You have had so much going on! So sorry about your job, but on the bright side all things considered you've got a job in the meantime and you are working on your degree.

At upper class flights!!!!

Happy your back sending lots of across the pond! Feel good and enjoy the wedding

Thank you for the from across the pond! Things have been pretty hectic lately but hopefully things are starting to slow down and get into some kind of normal!

Seriously I totally squealed when I saw the price of Upper Class! I cannot wait! And I usually hate flying!

The wedding was good! Stressful, but good!

Oh, man. Please don't call me a peep.
It gives me feelings of inferiority and a sudden urge to buy a Corvette.

But you are married! Aren't you already used to feelings of inferiority on a daily basis?

I'm sorry to hear that, Lu.
Glad he's home and doing better.
Thoughts of you and your family for a continued recovery.

Thank you, he is doing better and the doctors seem hopeful he will make a fully recovery. Its just a waiting game for now.

That was nice of you.

Family is the most important thing.

Uh... what? People do that?
I guess, if it works out, great. But... Yikes!

Apparently they do! I hope it works out for her but......I'm not holding my breath!

nteresting. What would you be doing in the diamond industry?
Selling? Grading? Buying? All of the above? None of the above?

The ultimate goal is to have my own jewellery line, but right now I'm focusing on getting a broad knowledge and hopefully more hands on experience. I'm planning on doing an on campus degree in New York maybe in 2017.

Oh. Dear.

Yay!

No way!!!!

Although... please don't be offended, none intended.
On this side of the pond we call it First Class.
And Upper Class makes me think of:

Well now I am truly offended! Our friendship is officially over! You are out of the girl club!

I'm just kidding! You can stay in the club! I would only be offended if I was in anyway Upper Class...or classy at all!

We call it First Class over this side too but some airlines like to sound all fancy and different!

For that price, you'd almost be crazy not to!
I'm really happy for you!
Please take tons of pictures of your flight.

I have to say I am really really exited about the flight! I'm going to be that weirdo who just takes photos of everything! Even the bathroom!

Wahoooo!! Now it's real!! So exciting!!

I know!! Booking the flights just makes it really really going to happen!!

Wow - we are definitely going to need details! I don't even think I've seen a flight with true first class on it in quite a while! Hope your dad continues to improve. And congratulations on the new career plans.

Considering I hate flying I am ridiculously excited about flying now! We even go to pick our seats on the plane when we book! I'm not going to lie I got way too excited about that! I'll make sure to include tons of photos! Whether you like it or not!

Thank you for the well wishes for my dad he is improving everyday and the doctors are hopeful.

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

YES. ALL THE YES. If you're free and bored one weekend hit me up ...... like seriously

Okay this actually is happening!

Maybe not like that though!
When I was driving down to Nottingham for the wedding I passed Sheffield and waved to you! I would have taken a photo but that I would have crashed and died so I didn't!

Bahhaha he IS Kanye. Kanye is Dandy. = Kanye is a serial killer.

The best bit was when his mum found the maid dead and Dandy ran in and went,

"........Someone's broken into our home and murdered Dora." Mom's just like "FFS Dandy look what you've done"

Also... Have we ever mentioned Evan Peters before..?! Because

I love Dandy! He is hilarious!
Ummm...Evan Peters is legit freaking hot!

I know! I'm watching this show because I'm hardcore, not because I want to sit and cry poor Pepper

Seriously I cry for like an hour at Pepper's story! I came here to be terrified AHS! What the actual hell!?!

LOL the first time they showed him I freaked outtt! I was almost yelling at that woman in the field to run away She was so dumb!!

I know she was like "hey this random terrifying clown guy just turned up here in the middle of nowhere clearly my boyfriend hired him as entertainment when we have sex the first time! Seems legit!" Erm...nope he wants to straight up murder your boyfriend and kidnap you its time to run love!

That episode where they revealed his background and how much he loved children was SO SWEET. I was like HOW have the writers made me LIKE this clown?!?!

I know! Messing with my head again AHS!

I've literally just aimlessly stared at this gif loop about 10 times.

Only 10??

I'm so sorry you've all had to go through this my thoughts are with you, hopefully he's on the mend

Thank you. He is doing better.

Whaatttt that's infuriating!!!!

Well as long as everything's working out for the best I guess you can't be too mad

I'm lucky that I was pretty sorted there is four other people in the office who weren't as lucky which really sucks.

GIRRRRRRRRRRRRL.

I know!

I am glad to hear this! You deserve so much better!

Awww thanks girlie

YAY

This is what we do!

Its so much easier than flying from London (even thought it means I can't go shopping in London now....)

HOLY CANNOLI ARE YOU SERIOUS Girl what the hell!!!!!!!! We fly premium, but you've gone and outdone us! UGH your trip is officially perfection.

I was really excited to be booking Premium and then BAM the Upper Class flights were there and the rest is history!

That's so crazy!! Did you book through Virgin Atlantic's website? I need to keep an eye out for these deals!

I've been checking prices for months and the lowest I ever saw flights was like £1500 per person each way and most of the time it was more like £2000 or £3000 which really wasn't happening and then when I was trying to choose where we should fly Club World on BA or with VA the flights came out at under £3000 in total for both of us BOTH ways!

Which was only about £200 more than they showed for PE! So I have no idea how the heck that happened but I am super glad it did!

Also I just watched someone's Snapchat story of the last ever set of Osborne Lights and I legit cried at how beautiful it is and how I've never seen them, so now I'm looking at 5 day Disney getaways for December / January to see them come with me K THANKS BYE

Uh...YES PLEASE! I'm there! When do we leave??

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

Hey hey Lu!

Hi Kelly!

Sorry to hear about your Dad not doing so well. Hope he continues to get better.

Thank you, he is on the mend hopefully he is on the right track now

Diamond ARE a girls best friend!

We all have our momentary lapses of reason.

Absolutely!

Yea!!!

Swanky! I'm totes jelly

I'm going to have to pretend to be posh and classy!

You betcha! That is awesomesauce

So glad you posted. I was getting worried about you. Sorry about your Dad, AWESOME about the flights, have fun at the wedding! Sorry in a hurry and tried to cram it all in

Hi! I know I have been a very bad Diser lately!

Thank you, he is getting better

I am far to excited about the flights!

The wedding was good! But I'm really glad its over!

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

HEY!!! I came looking for you!!! Really happy that you are back!

Hey I know you! Its my virtual running buddy!!

We've touched on this before but I had the scare with my Mam and it really does just turn everything upside down! I'm glad that he is home and on the mend and I'm sure I'm not the only one sending pixie dust your way....

How is your mom doing? My mom is having her check up in December (its been a year now) and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

It really does turn things upside down! He is doing so much better then he was, at one point they weren't sure he was going to make it through the night, but he's a tough old bugger!

Thank you for the pixie dust

Wow that's unexpected!! Not as planned but it sounds like it's pushed you in a better direction and you seem to have landed on your feet so that's great!

Gotta say it was not at all what I was expecting! But sometimes things happen to make you do the things you want and need to do don't they!

OMG TWINS!! Well kinda... I stayed with my now ex during the hard time with my Mam despite the OBVIOUS fact that it was a horrendous idea (that guy somehow made Disney seem less fun... OH THE HORROR)...

Uh guys like them just suck don't they?! My ex wouldn't go to Disney but I know for a fact he would have made it awful! No thanks!

And just an FYI you totally deserve better!

Eeeeeek so exciting!!! And you got upper class!! I'm flying with Virgin in January and looked into upgrading it was super expensive so we passed.

Excited to read more updates... I'm so BAD I'm still working through my trip report (although getting better at updating now) and I've been trying to keep my training journal updated as well... Don't think I've forgotten about my virtual running buddy!!! I bet you did SO MANY virtual runs since we last spoke... AND GUESS WHAT?? I ran a marathon!!!! My first!!! It took FOREVER but I did it... WHOOOOP!

To be honest I wasn't thinking about going Upper Class (I looked at how much it would be on the flight home but when I looked it was going to be like £6000! Nope!) but I couldn't pass up a deal! Twisted my arm!

I saw you did more updates! I will get caught up ASAP! I am horribly behind on everything!

Hey as if I would forgot my virtual running buddy either! I have literally not stopped virtual running, in fact I'm off to do one right now! Just let me warm up!

You ran and actual, IRL marathon???

I'm so proud of you!!

This is not the kind of man you need in your life.

Totes agree!

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING AHS: HOTEL???? You guys....this season might possibly be my FAVORITE season since the first one!! It's amazing!!! Dandy is PERFECT in it (well his name isn't Dandy but you know what I mean) and Lady Gaga...omg. I've never been a big Gaga fan but she has officially converted me!! I'll be her little monster any day!!

I haven't seen AHS:Hotel! I have to wait till its on Netflix (which will be years and years since UK Netflix sucks!)
I wanna see it so bad!! I keep seeing things about it and I get super sad I cant watch it!

Pepper is the best, I cried over her backstory!! So awful!!
AHS gave me pathos over a clown and I still haven't figured out how they managed to do that considering I HATE CLOWNS

Urg Pepper's story, seriously though, I cried like a baby!

I hate clowns too! But darn it Twisty just got in my heart! What the actual f??

You're back!! YAY!!! We've missed you!!

I've missed you too!

Oh my goodness!! So sorry to hear about your dad being sick but I am glad he is getting better. Sending prayers and pixie dust his way & I hope he continues to get back to 100%

Thank you

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....WHO DOES THAT???

I know right?!

Well thank goodness you have a backup plan!!

That is VERY lucky and I'm glad this...snafu...won't upset your WDW plans. Because that would just be unacceptable!!

Seriously if it had messed with my Disney plans....

Girl...I feel ya. And you'll get no judgement from me! I did the same thing a couple years ago with my son's dad. HUGE MISTAKE. Luckily I came to my senses and I am glad you did too! We both deserve wayyyyyyyyyy better

We really do both deserve better!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! That is so exciting!!! #youfancy

Well duh!

 

[pkondz]

Hmmm... let's see.

NEW AVATAR!!!!

Me like.

But you are married! Aren't you already used to feelings of inferiority on a daily basis?

yes

The ultimate goal is to have my own jewellery line, but right now I'm focusing on getting a broad knowledge and hopefully more hands on experience. I'm planning on doing an on campus degree in New York maybe in 2017.

Sounds ambitious! I like that.
Sure hope that happens! That'd be terrif!

(Normally, I'd say "terrific" but I'm trying to fit in 'round here.)
(Girls say that, don't they? Don't they?)

Seriously not commenting and keeping my mouth shut.


yup.
Not sayin' nutt'in.

Well now I am truly offended! Our friendship is officially over! You are out of the girl club!

Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just kidding! You can stay in the club!

Phew!

I was so worried I started to cry.
(You guys do that... I know this from living with three.)

I would only be offended if I was in anyway Upper Class...or classy at all!

Stop. You are probably one of the classiest women I know.
There is a heck of a lot more to class than birth parents or money.
Character counts for a lot... a lot.

We call it First Class over this side too but some airlines like to sound all fancy and different!

I have to say I am really really exited about the flight! I'm going to be that weirdo who just takes photos of everything! Even the bathroom!

Yay for being weird!
Classy... but weird.

Excellent combination.

 

[Leshaface]

YES. ALL THE YES. If you're free and bored one weekend hit me up ...... like seriously

Hold. the. freaking. phone.



How far away do you two live from each other?!? And if it's less than two hours, i'll kill you both! Why haven't you planned a meet yet???

 

[TheLittleKatie]

Hold. the. freaking. phone.

View attachment 137119

Tell me about it!!! It's 2 hours on the train, 2.5 - 3 hours in the car!

And what's really crazy is that my undergrad Uni was in Lu's home town! So I actually lived there for 3 years!!!!!

If we meet up we'll have to skype you and all watch Full House together

 

[pkondz]

If we meet up we'll have to skype you and all watch Full House together

Will there be a traditional pillow fight?

No reason.


And when would this Skype happen exactly?

I know it's crazy! Thats what happend when you live on an island!

When I was on my way to my brother's wedding we passed by the city where Katie lives and I waved!

I am super down to make it happen! Then we have to get a Full House group meet arranged...like seriously!

Tell me about it!!! It's 2 hours on the train, 2.5 - 3 hours in the car!

And what's really crazy is that my undergrad Uni was in Lu's home town! So I actually lived there for 3 years!!!!!

Yes! Skype! That is a great idea!!

Like for serious tho, this needs to happen. Like legit.

Will there be a traditional pillow fight?

No reason.


And when would this Skype happen exactly?

If Tom Hiddleston coming then yes. Oh @TheLittleKatie maybe we should invite Chris Helmsworth too! Get them fitted for their bridesmaid outfits! Oh and Chris Evans needs to be fitted for his flower girl outfit!

You can be in on our skype party as you are technically one of the girls!

Don't leave me out!!!

Seriously though, I can't believe ya'll live so close to one another. Make it happen already!!

We would never leave you out!

I know it needs to happen! Then we need to have our Full House Club Disney trip!

 

[pkondz]

You can be in on our skype party as you are technically one of the girls!

Swwweeeeetttttt....



Wait...

 

[TheLittleKatie]

Yes! Skype! That is a great idea!!

Like for serious tho, this needs to happen. Like legit.

We have menus to read and ADR lists to plan and discuss!!!! Your 180 days will be in March right? Maybe I have an ADR list to make for around the same time.............

...........

...........

If Tom Hiddleston coming then yes. Oh @TheLittleKatie maybe we should invite Chris Helmsworth too! Get them fitted for their bridesmaid outfits! Oh and Chris Evans needs to be fitted for his flower girl outfit!

Oh yes, they all need their wedding outfits personally fitted by honorary tailors Katie and Lu.

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

We have menus to read and ADR lists to plan and discuss!!!! Your 180 days will be in March right? Maybe I have an ADR list to make for around the same time.............

...........

...........

Yes ADR's are in March!

So we do have lots of menus to read, plan and discuss!!

Do I hear drinks around the world calling?!

Oh yes, they all need their wedding outfits personally fitted by honorary tailors Katie and Lu.

Absolutely! Everyone knows that is the only way to measure hot guys for clothes.

Also I feel that maybe we should included Ryan Gosling in our wedding too...no reason...

Also maybe we should get Chris Pratt invloved to...so he you know..doesn't feel left out...

Looks like he could get upset being left out!

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

Hi there pals!

I haven’t moved to Mars I swear!

Things have been stupidly stupid around here lately! I don’t think I mentioned it here but I think I mentioned it to @pkondz that we had some really bad weather a couple of weeks ago that blew the roof off one of the buildings next to my house into the roof of my house! This was the house roof after the storm:



You can't see because of the other roof that shouldnt be there but when it hit it made a huge hole in the roof. Oh that's also where my bedroom is. Weather wants to kill me bro.
Also part of the roof fell into the garden and nearly killed me so that was fun.



I was standing to the right of where this picture is showing when it came down. Really freaking scary. Weather really really wants to kill me bro. I could have been a legit ghost in the Haunted Mansion!

It’s been a total nightmare trying to get it all sorted out, the insurance company is being a total…insert rude word here…about it all and it’s been ridiculous trying to get things repaired. But luckily the house roof is watertight now so hopefully it wouldn’t all fall down which is good!

The bad weather also knocked out the internet and phone lines which are still not sorted out completely yet. So I haven’t had any time or internet to get on here lately. I am so super far behind on everything! I have read somethings but I haven’t commented anywhere yet so depending on how long the internet holds out I will try and get at least part caught up!

On the good news side my mum had her one year check up for her breast cancer, so far the doctors are happy that everything is clear but we are waiting on her latest x-rays to be sure. Fingers crossed she is doing really well and it isn’t back.
As far as Disney (that’s what this whole thing is about isn’t it?) I haven’t planned anything for our trip lately!!

You are all dead from shock now aren’t you? Sorry about that! I did consider changing things around and spending another night at GF but then I just took a deep breath, counted back from 10 and told myself to stop being crazy! Well…crazier…

I do have a list of restaurants I want to try and get but when I tried to work out where and when I wanted to do them (working with DDP credits and OOP) my head started to hurt so I stopped! I hate maths.

Also its tricky to plan too much as there is so much that might or might not be open then with all the Disney Downtown Springs, and the new AK restaurant might be open and Skippers Canteen-its all too much!!

Plus, I’m sure you haven’t noticed this and it might come as a surprise, I tend to change my mind…a lot. So even if I put a shiny ADR plan together the chances are within five minutes I would have changed it…more than once!
So now that I have bored you with my real life problems and confused you my lack of Disney stuff I'll go!

 

[KathyM2]

OMG that is some super crazy weather!!! I'm glad you are ok and not a ghost!!! That's just nuts!!!

 

[pkondz]

Hi there pals!

Well, hey there stranger!

I haven’t moved to Mars I swear!

Of course not. You're from Venus, of course.

This was the house roof after the storm:

That does not look right.

Also part of the roof fell into the garden and nearly killed me so that was fun.

I was standing to the right of where this picture is showing when it came down. Really freaking scary. Weather really really wants to kill me bro.

Whoa! So glad you're okay!
Didn't know about that part!!

I could have been a legit ghost in the Haunted Mansion!

So... you're saying there's an upside.

It’s been a total nightmare trying to get it all sorted out, the insurance company is being a total…insert rude word here…

Poopie-bum?


Seriously, when I hear stuff like that it ticks me off.
"Pay us money! We'll be there for you when bad things happen!... Not! lol, JK!"

Grrrrrrrr....

The bad weather also knocked out the internet

Oh no! The roof, fine. Your life, fine. But your internet?!?!?!?!?

On the good news side my mum had her one year check up for her breast cancer, so far the doctors are happy that everything is clear but we are waiting on her latest x-rays to be sure. Fingers crossed she is doing really well and it isn’t back.

That is good news! Hope the x-rays come back negative as well!

As far as Disney (that’s what this whole thing is about isn’t it?) I haven’t planned anything for our trip lately!!

That loud noise you just heard was me passing out and hitting my head on the desk.
Kinda hurts now.

told myself to stop being crazy! Well…crazier…

Thank you for clarifying.

I like that!

Skippers Canteen

On that note, one of my readers posted this on her TR.

Plus, I’m sure you haven’t noticed this and it might come as a surprise, I tend to change my mind…a lot.

No! I never knew that!
Shocked! Totally shocked!
