Who knew choking each other would earn us fastpasses?

Hello there and welcome to my trip report. :wave2:

I guess I'll start out with the introductions of the cast and crew.

My name is Lisa (a/k/aTinkerbell as my boss likes to call me) and I am a 44 year old paralegal, wife to John and mother to Hunter and Lacey (who didn't join us on this trip 'cause she's attending missionary college). My husband, John, also 44, owns and operates a cabinet shop which is good because I can always talk his boss into letting him off work to go to Disney. :laughing:

John acts all nonchalant about going to Disney but when somebody asks him a question, he immediately starts chattering away.

Since I am still uploading pictures and can't seem to find a picture of John and I from this year's trip, I guess I'll just use a picture from last year's trip.

Hunter is our son and he turned 13 just 3 days before we arrived in Disney. We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate becoming a teenager than by partying hard with Mickey and the gang. Hunter is a multi-talented little dude. He can play the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keyboard and viola. Magical illusions and cup stacking are his newest tricks and he's pretty darn good at both. When he's not playing an instrument or trying to trick you, he's playing football or singing in the honor choir. See....I told you he was multi-talented.

Also along for the ride this year was my Mama, Edna. She's 76 years old and dotes on John and Hunter like they were her little babies. Mama has been to Disney with us once at Thanksgiving, 2000. That was back in the day when we stayed offsite 'cause we didn't know any better. :sad2:

We were anxious to see how Mama would do with all the walking, heat, humidity, conveyor belts, etc.

Again, I don't have all of my pictures uploaded so I'll just use a picture of Hunter and Mama riding the clamshells into The Seas with Nemo and Friends. Not the best of pictures but a picture nevertheless:

Oh....and Hunter looks so grown-up in that picture with mama. Where does the time go? :confused3

KatMark · Jun 8, 2010

I'm second (I think). Now back to read.

The4bits · Jun 8, 2010

Yeah for a new TR. While you were gone I read your entire PTR and read your last TR so I'm ready for a new one.

Can't wait to read more and WELCOME BACK!!

I am here!!!!!

Believeinfairytales · Jun 8, 2010

I was browsing the boards and came across this one. The title kind of made me want to stop in and see what was up! :laughing:

I'm new to the boards, so I haven't read your other TRs, but now I see that I will have to go back and catch up!

You have a lovely family and I look forward to reading more...

I'm in Lisa! Need to go back and read now!

Brave teacher · Jun 8, 2010

Hey Lisa! I'll pop on to chat. You and I post a lot on the same TRs and PTRs, so I figured I'd hop on here and see how your trip went. If I remember correctly, yall were just getting there as we were leaving.

Wow! You were fast on the draw Missy! I can't believe how fast Hunter has grown up. He is a proud teenager and doesn't mind telling you that he's got armpit hair now. The things boys brag about. :lmao:

Hey Kathy! Glad you came over to read about our adventures!

wdwdasiy · Jun 8, 2010

Hey Lady!!
I've washed clothes and cleaned house (and slept late) since getting back. Made it back to the house around 6pm Saturday. I kept a lookout for you but never saw you or your family. I never did get my nerve up to come to the meet at Epcot. I really wish that I had now. :sad2:

I'm really looking forward to reading all about your trip. Can't wait for the fun to begin! :goodvibes

First of all, let me just say welcome to the Disboards! Second, I am honored that you decided to read my report. Hopefully, you won't have to wait too terribly long before I can reveal how the title came about.

Hey there! I am already suffering from Disney withdrawals so maybe I need to drag this trip report out for a while.

Welcome aboard Megan! I've noticed that we do seem to post on the same reports a lot. Maybe it's 'cause us Louisiana gals have good taste.

John laughed his booty off at me for starting a washer of clothes as soon as we walked in the door at 2 a.m.! I wish that we had run into each other. You should have come to the meet. It didn't last too terribly long but it was nice to put a face to the name. Maybe we can plan a meet for next year.

Just remember that we were at the tippy top of Louisiana and you're down at the bottom so your drive won't last quite as long as our's. Lucky girl you!

The only thing that will keep me sane is planning trip number 16 which I started doing on our last day at Disney.

That's true, I am sure it will feel like 15 hrs with all 3 kids in tow! We leave in 10 days 5 hrs & 30 mins!!!!!!!!
