The Wacky Hijinks of the Crazy Lady Trio at Mousefest **Updated 3/10**

The Wacky Hijinks of the Crazy Lady Trio at Mousefest
Grand Floridian/Wilderness Lodge, December 5 – 11, 2007

I couldn't come up with a clever title for my TR, so I figured I'd just be as descriptive as possible! Somehow this title reminds me of an episode of Scooby Doo. And I would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!

Eileen has already covered most of this in her Two Chips and a Dip TR, but here’s my 2 cents. This trip evolved a bit over time, so I’ll start my story from the beginning. Join me in the way-back machine, will you? A long time ago, King Ed and Queen Mable had two little princes and decided they’d like to have another baby, hopefully a princess… Wait a second, I didn’t mean to go that far back!

Last December, on my second annual Disney Christmas trip, I arranged to spend some time with a couple of ladies from the boards whom I hadn’t yet met, but felt like I had from reading their brilliant TRs and PM’ing back and forth with them. I suppose that trip was the "official" birth of the Crazy Lady Trio (CLT®). Since then, we’ve become good friends and even roomed together on the PassPorter Girls Disneyland trip.

When I decided to return to WDW for the holidays again in 2007, I decided that instead of my usual vacation time, which was the week before Christmas, I’d take an earlier vacation and head to Mousefest.

One of my favorite holiday activities at WDW is touring the resorts to see the decorations, and my favorites were the Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge and the Boardwalk (can you tell my tastes are eclectic?). I also had a short list of resorts that I hadn’t yet tried. The Boardwalk was one on both of those lists, so that’s where I decided to stay. I made a reservation and that was that.

Then one day, after reading Eileen’s recounting of all the fun we had on the DL Girls Trip, I started missing my buddies. The PMs began flying, and after some pleading and crocodile tears, they both agreed to join me.

Being the kind soul that I am, I threw open our resort to suggestions, and we settled on the Wilderness Lodge. When I learned of Eileen’s plans for her "appetizer" trip, I decided to add on a day so I could meet her Two Chips, Bob and Calder. Karen was planning on taking the red-eye for an early arrival on the 5th, so rather than extend our stay at the WL, we decided to splurge on a room at the Grand Floridian, so we could all cross it off our "must try" lists. I’m even more thrilled at the opportunity to stay there during the holiday season, because as I mentioned before, I really love the decorations there.

Knowing Karen’s great skill at planning (after having stolen furtive glances at the legendary Big @$$ Spreadsheet), I left everything else up to her. I sense it is easier for everyone this way. Not that I think Karen’s a commando tourist with slight control issues or anything, but I have to tell you, she really complimented me on my ability to "hold my water" so to speak. She can actually make an itinerary for me and not schedule bathroom breaks! People who know me well have often called me a camel, which I don’t exactly take as an insult.

So even though you should be quite familiar with the CLT® by now (you should have read Eileen’s Pre-TR. I won’t accept any excuse. I provided you with a link and everything), I’ll post some pictures of us anyway. Eileen totally stole my thunder with the funny pics, so I’ll post some nice ones.


K-Dubs, The Spreadsheet (and Margarita) Queen a/k/a zacksmom_1993


Eileeeeeen™, She Who Pouts About Not Having a Nickname, But Has Her Own Trademarked Catchphrase a/k/a Caldercup

These two ladies are the smartest, kindest, funniest, funnest, cleverest, beautifulest friends a girl could have. They make pretty good roomies, too. And finally,


P-Sha, The Official FastPass Queen a/k/a PrincessSharon

I’m excited about experiencing my first Mousefest, but that almost takes a back seat to all the wacky hijinks that are sure to take place with the CLT®.

I can already tell the report of the three of you in the World is going to be a great read.

I need to make a mental note to not be drinking anything as I read it. I have a feeling I will be laughing my head off at what you girls do and I don't want to have to keep cleaning off the keyboard or monitor!
