Lots of plants were damaged, Disney replaced them so fast, it was magical!)

I remember seeing frosted over plants in the same garden at BC being replaced every single day when we were there. They don't let a frosted plant last more than a few hours! I think about that a lot when I think of all the details disney puts effort in.

Since Dee is too busy to tell us her new nightmare story I guess I will just have to use my imagination and fill in the details! Note: Dee is not soooo busy that she hasn't got the time to TEASE!

So anyway it was late at night when Dee returned to the room. When she first checked in she was crushed to discover that her room request to have Johnny Depp waiting for her in the room did not pan out. In the face of this crushing disappointment she soldiered on. She got up early the next day and toured the parks, unencumbered by her middle school minions. Her time with them would come later.... Mwa Ha Ha!!!

Riding the last parks bus back to the resort that night she walked slowly back to her room. As she got closer she heard some strange noises. As she turned the corner she saw what appeared to be a private pool party. She could see that a flock of Chip~n~Dale male dancers was waving her over. Torn, she thought about those poor children that she would have to shepherd all over the parks the next day. As she was no spring chicken she realized that she should probably get some rest, but those Chip~n~Dale male dancers were pretty hunky looking and she was fresh off the dissappoinment of not have her Johnny Depp room request met. Slowly the Devil side of her brain convinced her that she could still join the pool party, if only for a couple of hours, after all... this was a Disney trip and you can sleep when you're DEAD!

As she got closer to the edge of the Pool a Cast Member ran over and scanned her magic band. The machine made an awful sound and it was apparent that Dee was not cleared for this Chip~n~Dale pool party! Sternly the CM said "Shouldn't you be Mothering those Middle School Minions of yours! and "We have it on file that you are a MARRIED WOMAN! What do you think that you are doing at a Chip~n~Dale Pool party! You just turn right around and get back in your bed and leave these poor hunky weight lifting guys alone! The NERVE of you!!!"

Sadly Dee trudged off, dejectedly returning to her lonely, Johnny Depp-less room. And, as she was contemplating this tragic twist of fate, she decided that this indeed was way worse that the Midnight Fire Drill meet up from the BC trip last August. She slowly fell asleep on her tear stained pillow dreaming of a day when Johnny Depp AND the Chip~n~Dales would entertain her at Stormalong Bay, bringing her Sunken Treasures until her head spun.

The End.

So how close did I get Dee???

Dee - safe trip!

Scary day for us. Ds was pitching and got hit in the head with a line drive. Spent all afternoon in ER.
He has a concussion, so no sports, no exams, not much of anything for the next few weeks, but it could
have been a lot worse.

Wow! That is a scary thing to have happen! Glad to hear that he is okay. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

 

[toystoryduo]

School has been out for us for a little over a week now, and we haven't had a chance to sit down and work on the plans for our trip yet. My DH has been working some crazy hours lately, and the kids just want to get out and enjoy summer. Hoping we'll have a chance to do some planning this weekend.

Well done, NinjaMom. I'm guessing that is exactly what happened! Thanks for filling us in so we are no longer distracted by checking the Dis to see if Dee has posted an update.

Ii have come to think of it as a Public Service... or at least that's what I tell the Judge when I try to get hours knocked off of my community service sentence.

And that is why this is one of the best threads: the people on here are able to kid each other - but always with affection. I'm new to this thread, found it to learn about BC before our November stay, but y'all are my kind of folks! Thanks for a good (but scary) laugh/story, Ninja Mom!

We just put down $600 for soccer camp! Ya know what i could do at disney with that money. Lol

This! A week of hockey camp for our league was $645 and we said no. DS will have a ball at "regular" camp where he'll run around the woods, swim, do ropes courses, etc. The hockey season is long enough (Sept - April) that we get our fill (and then some!).

Teena - have a wonderful vacation. Sorry we'll miss getting a chance to meet you but I look forward to hearing about your trip (esp. your port call to Estonia where my grandfather was from - would love to see it some day and can't think of a better way that as a part of a Disney cruise!!). Safe and fun travels

So excited that, as of this evening, I'm finally on vacation and am only days away from our check in at BCV and then BC Just have DS#1's elementary school graduation and then we're on our way!!! I spent the afternoon texting DH "4 hours left of work", "2 1/2 hours left", lol. I swear, this thread and everyone on it has made the wait so much more fun and bearable!

 

[maryandtyson]

Planning fewer ADRs for our Sep/Oct trip than usual. Wondering if we need to reserve Captains Grille for breakfast. I am an early riser and could snag a table while our teens rouse themselves. Maybe DH could wave bacon over them?

 

[DIS-OH]

Tomorrow, I head to WDW. I plan to spend tomorrow evening in the MK, searching for our fearless leader (she has to be fearless in order to leave NM in charge here...)

I wonder if instead of Marco Polo, Dee and I can yell Yacht Club-Beach Club as we keep watch for each other?

Can't you just see us in a packed Hub, with me yelling "Yacht Club" and listening for Dee's "Beach Club" in response?

former Hockey Mom here - yep, yep and btdt - and we just supported DS I think he did 3 hockey camps, he did travel hockey. His lifeline though was Hearing Impaired Hockey Camp, staffed with pros, it was an amazing time. and a very very long season! But, it was worth it - lots of family time in the car!

Love the Chant @DIS-OH - we do use "echo location" from time to time in real life! so I can just imagine it - I'll have to give it a try next week!

 

[natebenma]

I'll keep my ears open listening for the call as we'll be there next week too! I'm 100% with you on cherishing the family time spent together at the rink. I might gripe a bit after spending every weekend manning the penalty box, running the clock and doing the scoresheet but its a lot of fun too and these years will go by way too fast.

Question from my DH - how is the food at the various bars/QS/lounges (public ones - not CL) in BC/YC? Also, and this might seem very silly to worry about while in the bubble, do the TVs get HBO? Sunday is the finale for GOT and we're addicted and not sure if we can wait until we're back home!

I had a great day as well. Ran around son's school distributing paperwork. Went out on the river and photographed the Crew Team swim party from the boat. Took son home for shower after river swim. Went to Apple store to get gift cards. Went to Trader Joe's to get "Cookie Butter". Went to "Wholesale Club" with a son acting as a shopping Sherpa. Put away groceries. Rearranged the freezer so it looks like a Tetris game. Called driving school to set up lessons. Set up pressure washer for pressure washing fiesta tomorrow. Watered flowers. Watered lawn. Got bit by mosquitoes. Many, many Mosquitoes! Covered body in Benadryl lotion.

I think Dee won this round...

[ichabody]

I just wanted to mention the greatest club level benefit besides the lounge....using the texting service to reserve fast passes after you've used your three scheduled ones. We were able to add the frozen sing along and the 10:30pm showing of fantasmic without visiting a kiosk. It is super convenient!!!!

 

[DisneyMomx7]

Dee - I'm exhausted just reading about your day!

Friday is the last day of school and Monday I have to work school golf outing fundraiser and then I am basically FREE for the rest of the summer!!! Free to DIS and obsess about ADRs and FP+ reservations!

Sounds better to me than when my brother kept running around the MK yelling "O-H" and waiting for the obligatory respose (those from the Buckeye nation know what that is..)

NM, I like your imaginative response. Too bad I spit my coffee out over my keyboard as I was stifling the laugh.

[natebenma]

Wake up everyone!!! Rooms are quiet here and we need to get to AK for 9. Half day then fp at Hs afternoon break then Mk to 1 am.

Teena is on her way. They were bumped to first class. I think it was the Orlando to Chicago leg but not sure
