The Andy Can't Keep a Secret To Save His Life Memorial Day Disney Trip - Finally UPDATED 6/27 by Melissa and Andy! About This Page:

[mestitch]

Okay, so Andy said I had to post this under my name since I'm logged in, but we wrote together. His part is in blue, mine is in red. We'll be updating together all throughout the report. Why? Well mainly b/c Andy brings the humor and I bring the details....

First off, I think we need to talk about all the hype about the new Indiana Jones film, Legend of the Very Fake looking skull

Fake looking.... I swear, I thought it looked like it was stuffed with saran wrap....

I want really hard to like this movie, but I think it was the ebb and flow of the series. If you look at the Temple of Doom (#2) was extremely lacking. I guess you can look at this as the second valley between mountains. It'll never be as good as the last one...

BUT............

So our early Memorial Day cookout turned into "eat some food while packing" out.
Hey, we did watch some Eddie Izzard standup on the BBC America. Dressed to Kill had the funny comment about Americans thinking that all British people live in castles... and that when Disney built over there somebody told Disney "You might want to make the castle bigger, they've actually got them over here" Eddie.....

We got up at 5:30am Saturday morning, got packed, and got in the car to head to the airport.

Oh my God, I'm taking over for this part b/c otherwise, we'll be here all night.......
We figured since all the other times we've flown to WDW (all two of them) we've had this HUGE gap of time from getting through security to getting on our plane b/c there was nobody around. So we planned on getting to the airport around 6:30 for our 8:25am flight. Well we get there and the freakin line for security was five miles long. Well, not really, but it sure seemed like it as I sat there waiting for Andy to come back from parking the car. I had gone on in and checked one of our bags....
I called him like 5 times before he finally answered his cell to tell me he was finally on the tram back to the airport from the parking lot. Despite all my freaking out we were finally in line for security and I soon felt much better b/c blondie behind me was on the phone with someone telling them that she was just now in line for security and that her plane boarded in 3 minutes!!! And she was totally calm about it......

She bumbled, yes I say bumbled, up to the lady at security who checks your ticket and ID, and as she's checking that she tells the girl "you can't take your drink through security, you have to throw it away" (She had a starbucks coffee). So the bumble goes "Whhhaaat???" and the lady goes, with much attitude "You CAN'T, take your DRRRRIIIIIINK, through security"....

I wish you could hear our impersonation of the security lady. Hilarious.... And then I get behind her after pushing my stuff through the machine and the guy is asking the girl if she has a container in her bag and she goes "yeah...hairspray" and he takes out this FULL SIZE spray bottle and she goes "Is that not okay". I was thinking, DUH GIRL, did you read ANY of the FIVE BILLION signs in the security line????

So finally we were through security and I quickly said very loudly that I needed a Starbucks rreeeeaaal bad to which the security lady at the end of the line said "well you gotta go back that way honey, there's not one down that way, and you can bring me back a mocha frappachino"... so we brought her one

Our plane started boarding around 8 Airtran! We took off pretty much on time, a little early, but not by much. Flight was an hour and eleven minutes. Works for me. On the flight I took a few pictures.... this one I played with the colors in photoshop and liked it better than the original...

Check it, we're going into outer space......

Then one of Andy...

This was right before he SPILLED HIS FREAKIN COKE IN MY LAP!!!! The good thing is that coke dries pretty much invisible......
I need to defend myself... We took the picture of me with the cute wafer, I had dropped the other wafer, so I put my drink down to look for said wafer, pick up the wafer, and in that split second, thirsty butt Melissa was already bogarting my drink. She had it half way between platter and mouth which is directly where my hand came up. If the glove does not fit, you must aquit
Okay OJ, I was more mad at you that you didn't care that I looked like I just pee'd myself on the plane... But whatever...let's not cry over split soda...
I knew it would dry in the hour left on the plane....
Doesn't matter, it's the principal of the issue..... ANYWAY... moving on.
We landed at MCO ahead of schedule which is always a good thing! I took this picture as we were descending. I thought it was cool you could see our shadow..


We finally, for the first time ever, found DME without ANY problems!!!
We checked in and got in line...


We waited about 10 minutes maybe, for a bus. We watched the Wall E preview on the Company Clips that was playing. I thought it was funny we boarded a DCL bus. I said it was foreshadowing our cruise...


We sat back, relaxed, and watched the cute video on the way to WDW. I love that little video!! I got a shot of the gates..


So we landed on the runway at MCO about 9:45 and were checking at the All Stars Sports about fifteen after 11.
I got a picture of Andy getting our bags..



I took that second picture as we were excited that tonight was game one of the Stanley Cup Finals (GO WINGS!)

Our room was ready! That was a plus. So more pictures on the way to the room

That's Andy pointing to a picture of Steve Yzerman...
and then I saw this picture...

And it's got Joe Sakic from Colorado in it. I hate Joe Sakic. I hate the Colorado team. I have always thought Sakic looked like some soft of lizard.... so Andy photoshopped him for me...

There, that's better

More pics on the way to the room...


And then of the room...(We were in the Center Court Building 5)

HM on the carpet.




I was nicely surprised by the room. It was nicely decorated, comfortable room. I thought it was nice.
I had forgotten it had been refurbed so I was surprised as I had only seen pictures on Allears... Very nice...
We threw our stuff down and headed out. The plan was to take a cab to the BC to eat lunch at Beaches and Cream. On the way we played around of course...

Donald called me a name, so I was gonna shove my finger up his nose but then I realized he didn't have one...



Our building..

And then I had to do a stupid picture... can't let Andy hog all that fun.


And then Andy found another good photo op..



Doesn't it look like the tennis balls from the building are in motion towards the bat???

Coming up: I didn't know I was on vacation with Tom Cruise....

[MattUGA]

I side with Andy. It's obviously not his fault about the coke.

[PrincessSharon]

Oh my goodness, you guys are the BEST! The tag-team TR is so much fun. Glad your flight down went well, and so cool that your room is ready. all the silly pictures (the one with Andy and Donald duck is my favorite ) Hurry back!

Ab-so-tive-ly! I was sitting here thinking "how'd they get those balls to float in midair.... and why are two tennis balls coming at Umpire Indi-Andy when they're playing baseball?"

I'm quick.... real quick!!

Great update. Love the back and forth between the two of you. Keep it comin' and crank 'em out!

You guys are freakin' hysterical. Melissa, anytime you need a drink spilled in your lap at an inappropriate moment I'll send my son over your way.

I thought the tennis balls were baseballs and was wondering who pitched more than one baseball at a time.

[MMMD]

It's too bad you two don't know how to have a good time together!!

[DrDolphin]

KEWL update!!!! Love the tag team approach!! MORE MORE!!!

[disneydani]

Love the he said, she said commentary. Glad you arrived safe (and dry) and are settled into your room. Love the pics, especially the goofy photo ops!

Great TR! Sounds like your trip started out great (except for the spilled coke!)! Your room looks great! Love all your fun photos! Can't wait for more from both of you!

[DawnDenise]

Haven't been there since 2001 so I know things have changed! Your fun pictures are great! You can tell you two are back in your element!! More please!!

There, that's better

Cause I love reading your TRs and you are both so cute, entertaining (and young), I guess I'll have to forgive you for this one. Go AVS (even though they did kind stink this year inspite of getting Forsberg & Foote back)!

Sounds like your first day went pretty well. Love how you are tag teaming it and the story about the security line.

More please!

[jpod523]

this looks like it could be an advertisement for Mears! Ha! Glad you made it safe and sound!

[mom to 3 princesses and 1 prince]

OK, first of all, how did I not know you were Wings fans? And how exactly are you Wings fans, living where you live? I hate Colorado, too, but it stems from that idiot LeMieux and my favorite Kris Draper having to eat through a straw after their series a number of years ago.

Secondly, Rick spilled Pepsi all over me on the way to Vegas in 1997, and no, I haven't forgotten about it. Totally his fault, by the way.

Third, your room at Sports looks pretty much like our room in Music last September. You're bringing back memories and making me wish for another trip!

Can't wait for more!

[lexiemom]

Great start! Love the pics...especially the photoshop lizard one.

Oh...and I too thought the skull in Indy looked faker than fake!

[mcc0313]

Great start....love the Double duo reports.... Must say first thing I noticed was your sig picture...now that is the Melissa smile I am used to seeing in your TR's....something that I just did not see on your last trip....glad that this what exactly what you both needed.

Love the resort pictures....there are adorable. Can't wait to hear all about your weekend.
