Canadian Buffoon's Exhausted Vacation - Update 09/01 - New TR link!

not stopping for
a Dole Whip quite yet.
I had other plans...

Oooooohhhh…did you see the Coconut Dole Whip is back?? Yum! I bet you can't wait to get your hands on it 😋


And... really... it doesn't get
much stranger than me, right?
Tell me if I'm right.

Can't argue with that ::yes::


And.... I was too pleased to
see them all and too busy
yacking and...
More of Doc's family was
coming in soon, so they had
to head to the front of the
park, but no big deal, because
we'll meet up later for sure,
so no, I didn't get a photo,
and I never saw them again.

Aw, boo :sad2:


Actions speak louder
than words.
She let me know quite
clearly what she thought
of that idea.

Do not come between a woman
and the ballroom scene!

:rotfl:


There were way more guests than
I'd ever seen before at MNSSHP.
This was at least my third? Fourth?
MNSSHP and I'd never seen it like this.

I keep saying this and yet I keep shelling out money for these parties too :sad2: The crowds definitely detract from what could be an amazing time.



I met three jovial gentlemen
who were also on the look-out
for some spirits.
They thought we could
hitch a ride to the rum.
I joined them in their quest.

Love this!

I approached them and asked
if they knew where I might
find some refreshments.

These guys are awesome :thumbsup2


Can anyone (not you Doc,
and not you either, Liesa...
You both know) tell me what
my costume is?

I thought I was so clever.
I'd get lots of comments
and reactions and...

Nobody got it.
No one.

I was originally thinking a German Pig Farmer, but then you''d be looking for beer, not rum. I think I figured it out though :rolleyes1


I remember the first time
I'd been to MNSSHP.
We watched the 2nd parade
and were almost the only
people on Main St.
This time, there was no room
to sit anywhere and I wound up
standing behind a few people
who were sitting down.

Enjoyed the parade as always
but didn't take photos.
I was tired and just wanted
to watch and enjoy.

When Allie and I were at MVMCP this past December, we did the party at Tony's with reserved parade viewing and it was actually really nice. Expensive, but nice. We had a great view of the parade :goodvibes
 

Great picture, and I especially love Peep's sheep and your pig riding together in perfect hamony.

Just as well as it appeared that
they were prepared to dig a new
hole of which I would be the guest
of honour… Time to leave.

Of corpse, I left quickly.

Perfectly obvious!

::yes::

I have had similar experiences of hide-and-seek in the parks. Once specifically at MNSSHP with Mark, trying to find my friends who were camped out in front of the castle. Never did meet up with them that night. Also, on our last night in DL in 2014, we tried to meet up with a family from my home town. The parents were both teachers who organize the 8th grade Disney trip. I help them every year when we book Fast Passes for 100-150 students and chaperones in a system I set up. Nate had Mr. C for social studies and Ben was going to be in his class the following September. The oldest daughter turned out to become one of Ben's best friends in high school, but he didn't know her really well at the time. I still regret that we didn't make it happen.

It is amazing how we have cell phones with instantaneous communication and sometimes that doesn't even help.

But... we're supposed to get
more snow today...
We'll see how it goes
after
that.
Ugh. I hope it was less than expected. And that your back held up!

Here in NY, we're supposed to get 2-4" and everyone is losing their minds. I swear years ago, when we'd get 3 feet, people were less stressed out about it. My, have the times changed. :sad2:
 


I had noted that you hadn't
been around for a while.
And I never worry.
"Haven't seen Kiotzu for

a bit... School."

Pretty much. I applied for my first "post-degree" job as a desktop/it technician. I will just do my remaining courses slowly over time as I still want the degree but this job would allow me easy lateral flexibility in moving into programming for them. It will also pay for many disney vacations.

That AP is to blame.
I just didn't feel I had
to rush quite so much
having been there earlier
the same year.

I kinda liked it!

You blame the AP like it is a bad thing. I think that sounds like a nice change of pace.

It should be on your list.
It deserves to be.
Sooooo good.

I've been craving a good steak for ages, now I want one even more.
 
Unfortunately, a ride never
did materialize, whereas
my gentlemen friends seemed
to de-materialize.
Not sure where they got off to.

I love the HM magic shots!! Those are so cool, can't wait to get some. Glad you found your rum at last lol
 


Oooooohhhh…did you see the Coconut Dole Whip is back?? Yum! I bet you can't wait to get your hands on it 😋
You are a cruel, cruel woman...
Can't argue with that ::yes::
<sigh> I thought you'd
say that.

Yeah... Was looking forward
to spending some MNSSHP
time with them, but...
I keep saying this and yet I keep shelling out money for these parties too :sad2: The crowds definitely detract from what could be an amazing time.
I won't shell out for Xmas,
but will for MNSSHP.

Love this!
Thanks! :)
These guys are awesome :thumbsup2

That does sound good. :)

I need this in my life.

Well, poop.

and yet...
Sounds like things turned
out pretty good in the end?
Best friend, I mean.

It is amazing how we have cell phones with instantaneous communication and sometimes that doesn't even help.
True!
 
Ugh. I hope it was less than expected. And that your back held up!
It was more.
I won't get home until morning,
(10.5 hours down, about 6 to go)
but it hasn't stopped snowing yet.
I expect a bit of shoveling when

I get there.

Back holding up so far! :)

Here in NY, we're supposed to get 2-4" and everyone is losing their minds. I swear years ago, when we'd get 3 feet, people were less stressed out about it. My, have the times changed. :sad2:
People used to just...
"Whelp! Let's get 'er done!"
Now it's more...

"Someone do something!"
 
Pretty much. I applied for my first "post-degree" job as a desktop/it technician.
Ah! Good... Maybe you can help me.

Every time the power goes out,
my computer stops working.
I try to fix it, but it's too dark
to see what the problem is.
Do you think it could be

the hard drive?



:rolleyes:

That sounds like a win, win, win!

It was a wonderful change of pace!
I've been craving a good steak for ages, now I want one even more.
Pro tip.
Find a good butcher.
He (or she!) will be worth

his (or her) weight in gold.
 
I love the HM magic shots!! Those are so cool, can't wait to get some. Glad you found your rum at last lol
They're always fun shots to get. :)
I make sure I at least take a few
every time I go.

:laughing: Found the rum!
 
I'm guessing she saw it
on FaceBook? Maybe?

Must have been. I honesltly don't know. Just know it was her. :)
She has IBTTB syndrome.
(Itsy bitsy teeny tiny bladder)

Every time I see that I think it's the Tough to Be A Bug abbreviation.

Oooooohhhh…did you see the Coconut Dole Whip is back?? Yum! I bet you can't wait to get your hands on it 😋

YAY!!

Great picture, and I especially love Peep's sheep and your pig riding together in perfect hamony.

LOL! It looks like in that photo that's the only thing in "perfect harmony". ANIMAL HOUSE!!!
 
::yes::
And that's twice we've done that.
We did Dapper Day together. :)

That was fun!!

It was great!
You were getting all kinds
of compliments from CMs
and other guests when I

was with you.

I had loads and was flattered. Now, I'm itching to do that chapter. :)

I still have the bruises...

Linament may help with that.

:eek: :laughing:
I did not think about that!!!

I'm lucky I didn't have a giant wet spot on the back of the darn thing all night.

Absolutely! They're great!
And like Ariane pointed out,
people just walk on by!

I don't get that. They are one of the MAJOR parts of the party overlay and WHY it's so spendy. ??

Yes. And I told you that after
you whacked me.
But it starts and ends on the right.

Minor. It's like saying the better side of KS is the right side. Then again, that side DOES have the Boabob trees. :laughing:

Need to stretch that way
or my back will go out when
I bend the other way.

Do you just walk around stretching from side to side?

That's supposed to be a gif, but I can't figure out how to post those again. I right clicked and copied image, but, I don't think that worked. :(

I know.
That's why you tried
to steal it!

Just relieving you of a liquid you dislike. Call it public service.


Man, she is really serious about that whole "I need more alcohol at Disney" rant.

Well, someone's gotta put something in the drinks there.
 
It was more.
I won't get home until morning,
(10.5 hours down, about 6 to go)
but it hasn't stopped snowing yet.
I expect a bit of shoveling when

I get there.
:headache:

Back holding up so far! :)
I hope that's continued!

People used to just...
"Whelp! Let's get 'er done!"
Now it's more...

"Someone do something!"
Exactly. :rotfl2:It's now "EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
 
Must have been. I honesltly don't know. Just know it was her. :)
One of those mysteries that will
forever remain unsolved.

Every time I see that I think it's the Tough to Be A Bug abbreviation.
It's Tough To Be Bothered By IBTTBS.
:headache:
That was fun!!
It was! I'd do that again. :)
I had loads and was flattered. Now, I'm itching to do that chapter. :)
Can't wait to see it!
Linament may help with that.
Oh, sure.
First you whack me, then you
tell me how to soothe the whack.

Maybe just don't hit me in the first place?
I'm lucky I didn't have a giant wet spot on the back of the darn thing all night.
:eek:
I don't get that. They are one of the MAJOR parts of the party overlay and WHY it's so spendy. ??
It's spendy because of them???
I think 3-4 people's ticket prices
will pay their salary for the night.

I think there were more people

there than 3-4.
Minor. It's like saying the better side of KS is the right side. Then again, that side DOES have the Boabob trees. :laughing:
Then why did you hit me?
Do you just walk around stretching from side to side?
No, I sashayed, stretching
from side to side.

That's supposed to be a gif, but I can't figure out how to post those again. I right clicked and copied image, but, I don't think that worked. :(
You have to save the gif,
then upload it using the
"Attach files" option.
Just relieving you of a liquid you dislike. Call it public service.
Ah. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
 
Well, I'm not caught up, but at least I got to the point where you (@pkondz ) asked for picture...

Just tried and it said it was too big. Ugh.
Will try again shortly, have to text it to myself
