Excuse me, you'll need to see security. What has Mickeystoontown done? Update 3/25x2

[Woth2982]

All caught up! Great updates! Hunter is such a good sport letting Jesse dress him up all pretty and such! I would have freaked out if I saw a snake in a store! That was not a small snake either! I once saw a video where an alligator got onto splash mountain, I have been on guard ever since! I am kinda glad I saw the snake update AFTER I got home from Disney!

Such excitement shopping. I will tell you this...although I am not "afraid" of snakes (my brother used to have a garter snake that I would hold all the time), I will be on the lookout the next time I am at MouseGears.

You held snakes? No way! No how!

In all of our trips to Disney, we have only seen one snake before the one in MouseGears. Lacey saw a little bitty one slither into the bushes at the CBR.

I have no idea how all of the crazy stuff happens to us. I think I'm a walking disaster waiting to happen!

[QUOTE=MrsBearcat;47429276][QUOTE=mickeystoontown;47423846]I forgot to see if you had a ticker! What are your dates in May? Our trips may overlap. And, rest assured, I'll be freaking out with you should we see another snake in Mousegears! /

We are there May 11th-17th! When are you going?

We'll miss you by four days! Our dates are May 21 to June 1.

They only make a new sword fro a male monarch.

Thanks for reminding me to take pictures of his sword. I may have a good chance to take them this evening since he has a benefit concert tonight and I'm not going...$178.00 a ticket! Yikes!

I bet Hunter would have gotten a kick out of seeing the replica of Queen Elizabeth's father's sword. That's cool!

They have swords in the United Kingdom at Epcot but they were super expensive so we've never looked at them very closely.

Oh no it wasn't a small snake. It was pretty long and looked like it was growing an inch by the minute. An alligator on Splash Mountain? Seriously? I wanna see that video!

**Edited: I found the video on You Tube!

Sounds just like Skip's family

I think it was like $2000 dollars and the main reason why it stood out to me was it had the motto of the royal family on it. "Dieu et mon droit" which is french for "God and My Right".

It doesn't do any good trying to explain why we love Disney so much. It's like arguing with a fence post.

Wow! $2,000! Hunter gets some pretty good Christmas and birthday money but not that much!

[mickeystoontown]

I hurt my butt! You wanna kiss my butt?

Once the excitement of seeing a live snake in the middle of Mouse Gears wore off, the crowds filtered out and we followed suit. We had done a lot that day but we still had one thing to do. Take jumping pictures! For many years, we have taken either jumping or dancing pictures or sometimes both. One year, I was chosen to jam with Mulch, Sweat & Shears and it inspired hte title of that year’s trip report: Jumpin’, Dancin’ and Jammin’ Our Way Around Disney World!

Annnnyway, I wanted to get jumping pictures before we left the park. Now, I don’t know if ya’ll have ever tried taking jumping pictures before but, let me tell you, they are hard to capture on film, well, memory card but you know what I mean. There’s a fine art to it and it takes some time to get just the right shot. IF you can ever get “just the right shot”. This time, it seemed like we were never going to get a good picture.

I decided to started things off.

1!



2!



3!



Not good enough. Let’s try again! Oh my word! I look like a nut job but, hey, I got some height on it!



Hunter was next. Ready, set!



Go!



Boo ya! That’s how you do it baby!

Next up was Lacey who usually does the best jumping pictures evah!



Eeeh, this time, not so much. Try it one more time!



Okie dokie, let’s move on. Jesse, you give it a try!



I’m sorry but I gotta give Jesse the buzzer! Poor thing, he tried it at least three times and this was the best that I got. He may have actually been a bit embarrassed by this point because we had a few people watching us. For John, Lacey, Hunter and I, we were used to it and didn’t care. But you gotta remember, this was Jesse’s first time traveling to Disney with us.

**Continued in next post

[mickeystoontown]

John told everybody to stand back and watch the jumping pro!



See how perfectly streamlined his body looks? Sort of like a graceful gazelle! Well, the graceful gazelle somehow stumbled when he came back down and he fell backwards into the flower bed and came up with a silly look on his face and a “ooooohhhhh!” coming out of his mouth:



We were laughing our behinds off at him as he was tippy toeing around after getting up :



Seems Mr. McBride had fallen on a plant with a sticker of some sort:



This is when he uttered, “I hurt my butt! You wanna kiss my butt?” (Remember that video a long time ago of the little girl who fell off her bike, was crying because she hurt her butt?)

I’m sorry but we were all laughing like crazy at John and his antics. He’s like a walking accident waiting to happen. While John went to the men’s room to see what was poking him on the behind, Lacey asked that I take a picture of her and Jesse:



I snapped a few more while waiting on John:







We saw John coming out of the men’s room so we went to meet him and, in my true...I don’t want to leave yet...fashion, I lingered and took more pictures:







Realizing that we just could stay in the park any longer, we walked slowly to the exit. This was our last day at Epcot and we wouldn’t be back until 2013! Bye Epcot!

**Up next: Aruba, Jamaica! Oooh I wanna take ya!

[GrammyJudy]

How come no picture of John laying in the flower bed? What I always tell my kids is God punishes us when we brag too much! Love the picture of Hunter holing up the globe. I have one of my Grandson Cody doing that.

[MissLiz]

It's all fun and games until someone's butt gets hurt!



Nice update! If I tried to get my DD to do a jumping picture, she would try to crawl in a hole and hide. Oh well, maybe the younger one will be more adventurous.

[KatMark]

I am sitting here about doing you know what in my pants (another of your TR titles). Oh my...only John.

I love how you guys pay no heed to whether people are looking at you strangely and doing your jumping and/or dancing pictures.

A fun update, Lisa.

[ronnmel]

Jumping pictures are the best!

[shan23877]

Great jumping pictures! Poor John. He seems like a good sport though. I sure hope his butt healed quickly.

[deserrai]

Falling in the plant is so something my 18 year old would do. Hilarious!
