Really????????

Yeah, me having the same type of fit a three year old would have had was just normal for me.

This is so wrong on so many levels.

Plus, then NM told me I was "very talented" since he didn't know I removed the belt as well. Silly all around.

I was going to write down all of the funny, absurd things we heard over the weekend, but all I can remember is "Has anyone turned in a potato?"

Damn, my memory is shot - and I don't even drink!

Anyway, I had a great time with all. It was a fun expreience, and the 50th will be one of my all time best DL experiences. From the Quest, to the Late Nite Rides, a fun time was had by all. The Carrousel takeover was a hoot, and I can't wait to see if we hit CastTV. You all left a lasting memory for many, and it will be interesting to see what happens to all these photos.

Amazing moments quick shots:

The Saturday morning attraction crawl, where our small group got things done with no problem and lots of fun.
The great JC skipper we had that morning with his almost Rodney Dangerfield persona...plus a true Disney fan at heart
The CM named Dawn at Innoventions (they have a/c in there, ok?) who nearly talked us into meeting Stitch, and fully appreciated the ticket books. I hope she shows up here
In the hotel room Monday night after fireworks sharing Disneyland stories from the past
Everyone coming and going in a river of friendly faces, small groups that kept morphing in front of you
Making decisions far easier than we do on normal days, and rolling with changes
Saying "Happy Birthday!" to each new face we saw, with real hugs all around
Bumping to Alex, Lani, Andrew and Jennifer at Space on Saturday and getting a hug from Andrew

Another quick one:

End of the day on the 17th - at the park entrance, they are giving away crates of cupcakes. Guest (AKA Mrs. MousePod) decides to ask for a cupcake and returns with a flat of 60, holding them like a cigarette girl and passing them out to any who would take them (heh, like unaccompanied children). Somewhere, there's a picture of her holding such a pose on Harbor Boulevard.

The gushyness is overflowing....now I want to gush about your post.

You must spread some Mojo around before giving it to innerSpaceman again.

Babette, the fun drunk
Babette and I nearly having a good ol' catfight
Tramspotter, really loopy from being tired and slightly drunk
zapp, totally smashed, but still able to synch fireworks music

NA doing what? Lol!

's for iSm as well- he truly did need a clone. I wish I had one tenth his energy.

wendybeth · 07-20-2005, 09:12 PM

Okay, I'm not going to do the usual "I rode on such and such, and ate churros until they were coming out of my ears" report, but rather a highlights, lowlights and perceptions of type of post.

First, finally getting to meet some more of the LoT and MC regulars- they were all wonderful, and it's nice to be able to put a memory of the person IRL to the person I see posting. I got to see NA, CP, GD, €uro, Zapp, Erica, KB and Gus, and most everyone I met last fall again- everyone looks great, and everyone seemed to be having a blast. I won't bitch too much about not seeing everyone long enough, because that's just the kind of event it was. There was far too much going on and waaay to many people to hang for a significant amount of time with each one. I also got to meet the dynamic iSm, and was duly charmed, as well as DisneyDaniel and Disguy. Poor DisneyDaniel got nailed by a stroller while we were heading through NOS- he was our first casualty.

(We did look all over for you, Daniel!) I also got to meet the Mousepods- besides being an incredibly cute couple, they couldn't have been nicer. I felt like I'd known them for years.

Lots of us were staying at the Park Inn, but it was quieter than I thought it would be. I guess we saved our rowdiness for the Park. Not a bad place to stay, but I'll admit to checking out the Grand and deciding it might be worth a closer look next time. The first LoT person I met was Gemini Cricket, along with Ralphie. He had told NA he thought he saw me, she confirmed I was there, and he was sweet enough to come up to the pool area (we were letting the kids go for a swim pre-park) and introduce himself and Ralphie. Thanks, GC- what a great welcome, and I appreciated it!

After the swim (and a few drinks) we headed over to the Park. I can't tell you what a great feeling it was to walk onto the Esplanade, listening to the sounds of Disneyland. (And yes, Mousepod- I wll break down and buy that set!) I spoke with NA and we agreed to meet up a bit later in NOS, so we decided to take the kids on ToT first. It was fun watching Barb and Kirsten (our friends) ride it for the first time. We went on it twice then went over to DL.

Okay- this is going to be in installments, because I am multi-tasking at the moment, but I wanted to get going before I forgot too much. I'll put up part two later.

Moonliner · 07-20-2005, 08:43 PM
