Marsupials, and Rodents, and Tall Guys, Oh, My!

[Big Wallaby]

Hmm... I know I put it on the Calendar, and I thought I had put a thread out about our invasion, but I guess I didn't.

So, here it is, all the info we have at this time. We are going to be making requests in regards to some help doing stuff, but I am pretty sure someone will find what we want to do fun.

Our plan is very loose at this point, very basic. As we get closer to the travel time, I'll be updating this page.


Wednesday, September 9:

We'll arrive at San Diego roughly at noon, and take the Pacific Surfliner up to Anaheim. We plan to take the 3:00 PM Northbound Surfliner, so if anyone wants to ride along, let me know! We'll arrive in Anaheim at 4:57 PM. From there, we will check in to our hotel and head over to Disneyland for a quick bite to eat and a couple E-Ticket attractions... and of course a Monorail ride.

As far as our plans for Saturday, well, they are Top Secret for now. A couple of the things you might guess that we're going to do, but I can guarantee at least one that you wouldn't. So don't ask yet.


Thursday, September 10:

Disneyland park and dinner at PCH Grill.


Friday: September 11:

California Adventure


Saturday, September 12:

Top Secret


Sunday, September 13:

Walking in Walt's Footsteps Tour


Monday, September 14:

This is a day where we need help, and someone who wants to take a day and have fun with us. This is our Offsite Disney Day. We would like to see the Burbank Studios, Company D and likewise, and I want to see Walt's grave. We would also like to take a lunch at In 'N Out Burger.


September 15:

Travel Day


It seems so quick. My hope is that we will be able to do this again at a future date not too distant in the future.

Well, since it's a road trip, it might be the back seat boogie. (All of a sudden I'm thinking of multiple ZZ Top songs to hum.)

I could help with some of this. Monday is generally my day off, the issue I would have is that I would have my little one with me and I don't think she can go to the studios, but depending on how long you want to be at the studios, I could always drive you guys there, you could wander and I"ll find something to entertain the little one with in the area. I also may be able to get you guys a tour guide for the studios, I have a friend who works there.

At some point earlier in the trip, we should be able to meet up, even if it's while I'm working.

[LittleDollClaudia]

Ah, Walt's grave. Hidden behind some shrubbery at the Forest Lawn in Glendale. It's very unassuming, really. Just make sure you don't get in trouble as it does have a little gate which I'm sure is supposed to make it private.

But I went in and said my happy thoughts to him.

It's to the left of The Great Mausoleum. You'll have to look because it really is difficult to find and the staff won't tell you where it is.

[Near Philly]

BW,

I come into your WORLD right before you leave for their LAND.
No formal wear this time.

And BW gets home just a few days before I invade WDW! Yay! Get to see the whole gang again!

Or Not.:cool:Too bad she (Little Wallaby as discussed here (http://www.stupidguesttricks.com/showthread.php?p=90081#post90081)) won't be along. She'll be visiting family in Oregon while I am with you all.

Besides, with hhsrat and Shorty in the room? That would just kill the romance.

When you guys come out, you have to check out that turkey cart in Frontierland. Smoked turkey legs, chimichungas and corn of my! If you do venture to that cart, try the butter corn. It is good, but messy.

We're all looking forward to the trip. It'll be my first time to DL (and IIRC BW and hhsrat haven't been in so long it might has well be their first time) and I'm can't wait to check out the Mother Park (as Zazu has called it before).

Hi Shorty82,

Moe and I plan to spend time with you for a few days. We both work odd hours, but we want to hang out with the group. ;)

How could you not be? ;) We love & are very proud of our Mother Park. We're much smaller which seems a great shock to others from WDW, yet we'll keep you entertained. Gift cards for closest In-N-Out have your names on them. C U soon. :cool:

I will be visiting DLR at the same time. I'm actually flying out the evening of the 8th and returning home on the 15th. Staying at Anaheim Marriott, primarily for D23, but will spend a lot of time in DLR.

Just look for the purple ECV.

[Whazzup]

Hope you DL guys and gals all have a GREAT time with some of the bestest and most funnest CMs around. :D:

Only a few more days and we'll be at the Mother Park (as Zazu has called it before). :) You think you can hardly wait? What about me, I'm a Disney Nutcase and I've never been to Disneyland in my life. I've always wanted to go and I've been looking forward to this since we started planning it many months ago.

I already got my bags mostly packed and ready to go. A few more things that I can't put in until it's time to leave (such as my laptop) and I'll be fully packed.

I can't wait to finally meet you and have you show off DL to us.

The weather will be nice. No rain forcasted yet. We are headed for another heatwave. It makes WDW look more humid.

Ride closures:

Casey Jr Train Now 10/3
Haunted Mansion 9/10 9/26
Mark Twain Riverboat 9/8 9/11
Main street Opera Now 12/17
House
Space Mountain 9/8 9/25
Storybook Canal Now 11/20
Boats

DCA Closures:

Orange Stinger Now 4/29/10
Paridise Pier Now 10/20/09
The Vineyard Now 10/4

As usual the HM goes down for 2 1/2 weeks to covert over for Halloween time.
The park has been fairly slow. Yesterday BTRR had a line of 2 minutes for most of the day and went up to 5 minutes around 5 pm.
If you catch Fantasmic! It will be on the weekends. The new dragon is working and is worth seeing.
Cast Discounts are still not allowed on the Outdoor Vending/Outdoor foods carts. They might have the registers, but it was not programed for discounts of any passes.
Fireworks: If they have them will be usually Friday and Saturday. I remember not seeing them on Sunday. I don't know their reason.
I am not sure about the parade times.
The corndogs are good, the turkey legs are somewhat salty, cream cheese filled pretzels are good, DCA has good food. If you get to the Paridse Peir, there is a resturant called Ariel's Grotto Restaurant. On the back side is a bar with really good side orders and alcoholic beverages and soft drinks.

I think some of your info is wrong. I understand that they aren't doing the overlay this year at the Mansion because of the 40th anniversary which starts right in the middle of the dates you posted. Though I just checked DL's site and Mouse Planet and both are showing the Mansion closing down. I'm hoping that's a mistake.

Man, I was so hoping to go on some of the attractions that are going to be closed, such as Space Mountain

Aww, man ... I go out there to try and ride Space because ours is closed (and yours is better anyways), and now your space mountain is closed? Bummer!

[turkeyham]

I got this off a up to date cast member reference guide.

I wonder if they have SW and SM mixed up?

I know that there is a Haunted Mansion convention this coming up TH, I bet it is an error. You could be right.

DL opens at 10 am and closes at 8 pm T,W, and TH
DCA opens at 10 am and closes at 6 pm T,W, and TH

Sneak Peek for next week:

DL: Fri and Sat 9 am to 12 midnight, Sun 9 am to 11 pm.
DCA: Fri, Sat and Sun 10 am to 8 pm

OK, Parade time: 7 pm :)

OK, so we load you up the the yummy corndogs. If you are still hungry, eat a turkey leg. Warning, Disneyland does not have the Vanilla Dole Whip. :eek: I was very sad to hear I must go back and retreive it at the Polynesian Resort. That means when I go on vacation, I have to check the prices for that resort. Where are the palm metto bugs less active? I know they are bad at Disney's All Sports Resort. They run in as you are leaving out for the parks. Is there any good deals that anyone knows for Disney Resorts? Let me know. I will be out there Oct 22-28. Thanks. :)

[Cheshire Figment]

I Know I will be in one (or both) Parks this Wednesday and probably most of next Monday. However, Thursday - Sunday I will probably be spending most of my time in the Convention Center.

But if you see someone running around on a Figment Purple ECV with Figment Orange on the back and Cheshire Cat Decals on the side it probably will be me. I have not heard of anyone else with that color scheme.

Should be able to head into the parks and sign people in. I did both while on maternity leave, so unless that's different for some reason. I'd be careful about going into the parks and doing things against whatever restrictions it is that are keeping her out of work though. For example, if it's that she just can't be very active, or walk long distances or whatever, then only go for a couple of hours and/or rent a wheelchair and use it.

She's off due to a hysterectomy. This is MAJOR surgery! Have never had this but am told any unneeded walking, standing, sitting, bending, pulling up, & so forth is never advized. Purpura is only a week out of surgery. How in the world can she even want to get out of bed & take such a chance tearing stitches? :eek: Would freak me out if I was that fragil. She can come in to park & sign in, however, if she is seen walking & all - there will be questions asked by RTW & her Foods managers. CB, MLOA has many facets. Err on the side of caution - Always!

main streeter couldn't be more correct on this issue...i don't know how purpura would be able to even enjoy being in the park...even in a wheelchair...i know how i felt a week afterward...and i didn't feel like going ANYWHERE...i think it was a good 6-8 weeks before we went to the park...could have been a bit longer...at this stage even standing up straight can be a trick...

be very careful of your wife's condition...she needs a chance to heal...and wouldn't it look odd for her to be in the park after just having had major surgery?

[Near Philly]

Have fun out there on the west coast all.

I think I see what happened. You two misinterpreted the word ride. By that, I meant a ride to the parks, not going on rides. We don't currently have transportation. Never was it our intention to go into the parks at all, or if so, for no more than long enough to meet the Florida CMs for dinner. We're both well aware of Purpura's limits at this point.

Purp could bleed out. You are her protector! Never mind my advise - reread Elena's post. Take it to heart. She went through this surgury in 02. Purp shouldn't even want to ride in a car. Geez, how painfull! Excuse me, but why am I even trying to protect purp's health & job? You'll do as you want. sigh

The governator is considering declaring a state of emerging fun*.







*at least it sounded something like that!!

[turkeyham]

Got a few text messages. They got in, they were at the park when I got their other text. :)

[Purpura]

As much as I would love to come... I will wait until another trip from Marsupials Rodents and Tall Guys to come. You are right Mainstreeter. I shouldn't endanger my health since I am barely out from the hospital. I'll be there in spirit... like you.

[Main Streeter]

Marsupial, Rodant, & very tall guy are AMAZING, KIND, INTELLIGENT,THOUGHTFUL, & EXTREMELY FUN human beings who were instantly, warmly welcomed by all DL CMs they met. You three are WDW's Gold! BW met our Geoff @ Monorails who has been there 10 yrs. Geoff was so pleased to meet & speak with BW. Instant bond! Monorail Brotherhood is very much alive. Brought tears to my eyes as Geoff quietly stated all DL Monorail Cms really cared. Geoff recognized me & said he's tranferring over to a Main Street location. Last night was his last run, last train out, & we were there. Someone was our angel.

I knew you would like them :D:. I'm just so sad that I'm not able to be there with them :( (a last minute trip was in the works, but had to be scrubbed because I'm being redeployed to Epcot for F&W and it would have conflicted with OJT)...

But it's great to see that they're enjoying themselves, and our quite the hit among people back home. Though I certainly can't wait for them to get back to Florida so I can hear everything and see all the photos :D:.

ETA: Before I forget, someone needs to teach them the "Goat Trick" on BTMRR at DL. They apparently don't have a clue what it is ;).

[DisneyMom]

OMG, The Goat Trick!:p:

For those who don't know, focus on the Goat while you round the curve on BTMRR. Goat will do a 360, which is cool in itself, but according to my husband, affects his body down to his stomach! It is a strange feeling, but we do the goat trick everytime, so more fun than weird. No throwing up!;)

[Whazzup]

Come on, Shorty, quit being a tease! We want a complete trip report, with pictures, within 48 hours. We want to hear first, middle and last impressions about your DL/DCA/In&Out visit, and all points in between.

We want you to hug the Bubble Ladies, shake all the CMs hands, and have a wonderful time in the Motherland, then come back and share everything with us.

[Main Streeter]

I knew you would like them :D:. I'm just so sad that I'm not able to be there with them.
You were there...in a way. Saw a pix of you on cell. :) All 3 did give Bubble Ladies huge hugs.

[lady ulrike]

I'm hanging out with them tomorrow and if they have not already done it, I will most certainly take them on and teach them, it's one of my favorite things to teach people. :)

[turkeyham]

I met them in the park today. The bubble ladies rock! They all were great.

Dinner was perfect wasn't it Turkeyham? Almost had to roll me out after Grand Ca. buffet. They were so excited to drive me to K lot & get to see it. HA! I was just thrilled I didn't have to shlep it. Marsupial, Rodant, Tall Guy & Elyse finally met Our Ernie. :) Elena has met Ernie a few times. They all attended Retiring of The Colors & were absolutely amazed! BW now wants to kidnap Ernie & take him to WDW as an instructor. Told BW "No Way! Ernie is Ours! He is a DL Original." Later Ernie met us on Main Steet & invited all 3 as his guests to the 9.11 Flag Retreat Ceremony. This will be beyond awesome! Ernie has planned a special Retiring of The Colors with a solomn moment of quiet. An Honor Guard will be present for the 9.11 ceremony. After Flag Retreat Ernie will introduce BW, Rodent, & Tall Guy to the Honor Color Guard. Will be an event these 3 won't ever forget. Retiring of The Colors begins at 1645. All are welcome. Please join us. :memribbon: :salute:

In a way, though, I got to experience my own version, since we had MK's Dapper Dans (er, I mean the "Humdingers") on our show last night. The finale, a "Tribute to World Peace" medley with "Let There Be Peace on Earth," "One Voice," and "One Song," was dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives on 9/11. The Dans sang with us on the finale.

[lady ulrike]

princess K (photos if the lady will allow them of the young princess)...

Yes you can post pics of her. :)

and I messed up the quoting (deleted too much I think) so sorry Elena, you're not blue anymore.

And it was great hanging out with everyone, we're having a mod meet tonight, that ought to be exciting. :) Only one we're missing is Zazu (quick, hop on a plane and get out here. :) )

I know, that was part of the point....even if he did, I doubt he'd read this and hop on a plane to be out here by tonight. :)

[turkeyham]

I missed the flag retreat. I came home early from work. I did watch the news and saw the old 9-11 video footage. There on the History Channel they did 3 programs on 9-11. 102 Minutes That Changed the World, Witness to 9/11, and Hotel Ground Zero. It was good. If you missed any of the shows, it reaped again at 11 pm and lasted until 2:30 am. There was a Marriott between the 2 World Trade buildings and they had footage on what happened during and after the collapse of the buildings. A handful survived 9-11 in the hotel.

[Main Streeter]

i tried, but i wasn't in a good spot...i did get a couple of snapshots though...i'll post them soonWhat Elena?? Video didn't turn out? I saw it - some of it - & thought it was fantastic. Promised Ernie your video. Don't let Ernie down. You know I will not allow this. ;) You are simply too critical of your work. I NEED this video dear heart. :)

Went to dinner last night with BW, Shorty, Hhsrat, Ulrike and Polar. Damn that was fun and went on far longer then expected.

Sure he would! I betcha a turkey leg next time we're at DL. :D:

You would, wouldn't you, Zazu? :confused:

Oops - never mind, it's too late now. Sorry Lady - maybe next time. ;)

[Whazzup]

Went to dinner last night with BW, Shorty, Hhsrat, Ulrike and Polar. Damn that was fun and went on far longer then expected.

What a fun group that would be. It's great you west coasters are able to spend some time with our favorite CMs. Just make sure you send them back home when you're done with them.

[kurtisnelson]

In case of nuclear attack, Zazu was the designated successor of the board.

[LittleDollClaudia]

Hmmm, I wonder if I can "persuade" either Polar or Lady Ulrike to come out with me to join the fun tonight...cause it's my turn!!!

[Main Streeter]

Marsupial, Tall Guy & I saw 2230 F! again last night. Was absolutely amazing! We tried for 2100 but no sitting spots available. We ambled (Shorty's fav word) FL. Most attractions were 101 by this time so watched band at TLT. They saw our DL stage lowered when band was done. Another "Wow, how cool is that" DL moment the guys really liked. Headed to F! with healthy frozen apple juice - Thanks Shorty :) where we found great center sitting. Viewed fireworks from the back which was unique. Sound track was very good back there. We sat down & managed to get comfortable on bricks when BW heard a familiar shout out. Right in back of me was Turkeyham's sister Mo. What a fun person Mo is!! Mo does Rock! She made us laugh so much we forgot how hard bricks were. Saw a few CMs I knew then F! Roared up in spectacular show fashion. We heard amazing singing during F!. Much like surround sound. Was F! music & Mo singing every word perfectly. :cool: Our direct center view was great - just what we had wanted. BW was so interested in DL's F! lighting. They seemed an Attraction to him. ;) F! dragon did his amazing show to cheers from all. He is brilliant & was deff worth the wait. BW & Shorty were very pleased. Loved F!, but my E Ticket Attractions were BW & Shorty!

[Whazzup]

Loved F!, but my E Ticket Attractions were BW & Shorty!

I think they just earned themselves new nicknames. The E-Ticket Twins! :D:

[darph nader]

Guess all good things must come to an end. :(
But by the end of the week (maybe) we'll get a 'great' trip report and pics. :)

[Main Streeter]

Loved F!, but my E Ticket Attractions were BW & Shorty!
OH NO! Just realized I royally screwed up. :o: I now have 3 - THREE - E Ticket Attractions. Forgot Rat. :mad: Rat is such fun! Has mischief written in his personallity.;) Rat wasn't with us @ F!, therefore.... oh never mind. There's no way out for me. Rat, go ahead. I deserve it with both barrels.

Bubble Ladies make everyone's day each time they are in park. :) :bubble:

[Shorty82]

We had a blast at the Original. I'll let BW or hhsrat post a full trip report as I'm no good at writing that kind of thing. I am working on getting the pictures I took sorted and into an online gallery so I can share them. I took a LOT of photos so that may take a while.

[Shorty82]

Here (http://www.photoshop.com/user/shorty82/?trackingid=BTAGC&wf=share&galleryid=2b8cd6d34f6e4fbf8054870cab30ae4f) is a link to my gallery.

More photos may be added later. I took 100s of photos so there's a lot to sort through.

Well, that was interesting. Haven't we already seen the Bubble Ladies' pictures posted here? Maybe you could wave a magic wand and turn them back into real people with faces?? Would that be okay with the Bubble Ladies?

P.S. Shorty - you look nice in that shirt and tie (from what I could see of you). You clean up pretty good! :-)

If they want their faces seen all they need to do is ask. I have the editable version of all the pictures saved and can easily remove the masking.

Thanks for the compliment.

yep yep...posting our picture is fine...we've had our pic on here before...and i don't think we're in any danger of getting the dander up of the disney folks

[Elena (aka: Bubble Lady)]

i didn't know you guys went up to hollyweird...too bad...we could have met you up there...or at least me and mine could have...

thanks main streeter and turkeyham...you ladies are far too complimentary...:o:

[Elena (aka: Bubble Lady)]

ah...and this is why i posted no photos...it took me so much time to copy/paste a wallaby head over bw's face last time...i can't tell you how many times i had to do that before i finally figured out how to do it and then get it posted...and now i've forgotten...what i do remember is that i had to use a photo editor i never use...

so now, guys, you need to let me know if i can post these pics to my facebook page...

[Shorty82]

And for all of you native Californians.....we were in Hollywood at like 5 pm, I was totally comfortable and they were all freaking out, I was half way tempted to make them stay until some really interesting people showed up, like at around oh, 2 or 3 am after all the bars and clubs close. :)

:eek: Thanks for not doing that! You might be used to that sort of thing but I'm not, I ain't a city boy. I was raised in a small town. I've lived in Central Florida for only about 2 years now and rarely make it into Orlando itself let alone a city like LA. I wouldn't say we were freaking out but we weren't comfortable.

Do you mean Teddy Bruscci? That was his nick-name when he played for the UofA. :rolleyes:

[CujoSR]

Hell I am a native Californian and Hollywood freaks me out. But then again I'm not a fan of huge crowds. Tolerate them, sure, but I don't like 'em.

[lady ulrike]

Did they meet Chewbacca?

No Chewbacca, but there was Captain Jack, Shrek, an indian (I think Shorty liked her) and some others (I can't remember it's 6 am)


Hell I am a native Californian and Hollywood freaks me out. But then again I'm not a fan of huge crowds. Tolerate them, sure, but I don't like 'em.

It wasn't the crowds, I don't think, it was the type of people. They were just too odd for them, but they weren't even all that odd, not by Hollywood standards.

[ktulu]

The 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica is always good for people watching :D:

[Big Wallaby]

I was totally comfortable and they were all freaking outI wouldn't say I was freaking out... just that I was finding Hollywood disappointing at best, and I was ready to leave.

No Chewbacca, but there was Captain Jack, Shrek, an indian (I think Shorty liked her) and some others (I can't remember it's 6 am)Captain Jack was an okay imitation, Shrek was a sad attempt, and the Spider-Man with breasts was... well... strange to say the least.
It wasn't the crowds, I don't think, it was the type of people. They were just too odd for them, but they weren't even all that odd, not by Hollywood standards.I can deal with odd, I am from Portland. I guess it was the moment I saw the Chines Theater in its level of disrepair, and that there was all this hype over nothing...

Oh, and the buses with everything sawed off from the windows up...

I was just done with Hollywood.

[Elena (aka: Bubble Lady)]

Elena, what did you promise or pay Shorty to post this? :D: :D: & I told you they where going to Hollywood. Just like usual, you never listen to me. ;) Next time I'll post to your FB. :rolleyes:

I can deal with odd, I am from Portland. I guess it was the moment I saw the Chines Theater in its level of disrepair, and that there was all this hype over nothing...

Oh, and the buses with everything sawed off from the windows up...

I was just done with Hollywood.

hollywood is nothing like people imagine it will be...often disappointing in its tawdriness...no glitz or glamor there...just "characters", hookers and hypes...oh my! :eek:

Yeah, it was mostly shorty that was freaking out, although I don't think rat was very comfortable either.

Lots of weirdos wandering around that place (and I'm not talking about the good kind of weirdos like some of us here are).

As you are both friends of ours I'll PM you the link to the unaltered gallery later on.

I was fine, just hungry. Plus, if I stay in one place for too long, I start to destroy things. (usually plastic drink lids and straws, but I didn't have any of those so I just started to get antsy)

So that's the excuse you're going to use, that's fine, whatever makes you feel better. :)

Thanks Shorty, 'preciate it.

Okay, that was low, I admit it. Low, yet so deserved! No, I don't mean you deserve it, I mean the PCH deserves it.

[Main Streeter]

No, I don't mean you deserve it, I mean the PCH deserves it.When I first read Rat's post my thought was PCH. :( Was trying to remember if straws & lids were destroyed, as I was sitting across from him. Good call we left when we did, though we should have walked 25 mins. earlier.

No straws or lids were destroyed, we never got any.

Is there any specific part of this post that should be ignored?

[BRWombat]

0-3. Wow, y'all really aren't good at ignoring things. :D:

[lady ulrike]

0-3. Wow, y'all really aren't good at ignoring things. :D:

But how are you determining who is ignoring it? I mean, we've got well over 2000 registered people on this site (I'm sure Cujo or Polar can get an exact number) that may have read the post and ignored. So, shouldn't the count be like 2000+-3? And are you counting just the post that you said to ignore or anyone else who responds to this thread? Cause with the way we go off-topic, pretty much every active member will have responded to this thread at some point in the future.

Kinda tough there big guy,it's like an old episode of Candid Camera, "Do Not read this sign under Penalty of Law".

Well, I still think your count is off. I ignored it, and Disney Mom ignored it, she thinks. :) So, right there it's at least 2-3. :) Maybe 1 1/2-3 since Disney Mom's not sure she ignored it. :)

[Whazzup]

Don't forget to count me! I'm ignoring it, too!! :break:

[Lasolimu]

Umm, could someone remind me, what is it exactly that we are ignoring?:confused:

Why, Wombat's original post of course. Pay attention, dragon! :p:

[Lasolimu]

But, why would I want to ignore a post from Wombat? That just doesn't make any sense!:confused:

[BRWombat]

Hmm, all this because I put "please ignore." Why do I suspect that if I posted somewhere and put "please reply," I wouldn't get any response? :rolleyes: :p:

Smart-asses, here? Nah, I don't think I know any smart-asses.

A smart ass is someone who can sit on a gallon of ice cream and tell you what flavor it is.
