Last night, Nate had his high school orientation, and of course a lot of the kids who went on the Disney trip were there. I prepurchased a photopass CD, made edits/added borders and made CD copies for everyone on the trip.
When I handed one out last night, one of the moms told her husband- this is from the special cards. (translation: Photopass cards)
I know what you mean about going to "Disney"! That drives me bonkers too!
I also hate when I'm trying to explain something (like not being able to get FPs with non-activated tickets) and no matter how hard I try, the other person doesn't get it! Outside of the DIS, I don't often like to show my crazy-Disney-fanatic side... but sometimes there's just no other way!
I'm sure all of us are practiced in using restraint when dealing with others who may not be as *ahem* enthusiastic about all things Disney. It is kind of like trying to speak to someone else in a foreign language they don't understand.
I texted a bunch of my friends from MK (NOT Disney) that I had a pocketful of FP. Not realizing I would have to explain to her what that means.
I can't wait for the details on the photo force!
My biggest peeve is "Harry Potter World"
IT'S NOT CALLED THAT!
Nor it is just called Harry Potter.
Ok, is it a ridiculously long name? Yes but really, it's the name! Use it!
Rant over.
Wizarding World is short enough, and I think acceptable. Although I am guilty of calling it Harrypotterland, mostly as a joke. I'll make sure I don't do that around you, though.
I have to admit....many many years ago I did call Mk Disney World. I was young and dumb and didn't know till I actually visited. My first visit was when I was little and thats what it was called then. After my 2nd visit in my 20's I learned it had a real name!!
But Wild Kingdom...who the heck calls it that?
I am always amazed when people don't know the names to the parks though now. I am planning our family trip, and some are complete newbies...and just call it the animal park...I bite my tongue...a lot!
Honestly, most of the group I was traveling with called it Wild Kingdom instead of Animal Kingdom.
I remember meeting some woman at breakfast one morning and we got to talking about our trips and I asked her which park they were going to that day and she said "Disney." I said "I know, but which park?" She said Disney again. Then it dawned on me she was talking about MK. It was a real "Whose on first?" moment.
I seriously bow down to you
for being able to deal with all those teenaged boys on just four hours of sleep!
One of our livery drivers on the way to the airport did that too, when I handed over my Disney Visa to pay. Something like "My wife really likes Disney World, but I like the other parks"
Even with some of the trouble with our large group of boys, gotta tell you I'm thankful I wasn't chaperoning the girls!
On the whole, the boys in our group were really good with minimal problems.
(Looking guilty) I have been known to refer to Animal Kingdom as Animal Planet. (Skulks away......

And then you went to MGM and tried to order a pepperoni with salad at Pizza Kingdom?
Got lots of pictures-much to his disgust Told him his children would want to see what he looked like when he was wee to which he replied "I'm never getting married I'm staying with you until you dieThen I will get a dog!". At least I know I can be replaced by a DOG!!
Glad the Dis provided you with some therapy for free lol. You know what they say-if it doesn't kill you it'll make you stronger! Bet you're stronger than you thought possible (and at least you know what you're up against if you decided to chaperone Ben's trip when the time comes)
He is too funny!!! I hope you are writing these things down.
I figure chaperoning the middle school trip is sort of like childbirth. When the next time comes around, you somehow have forgotten all of the pain and you are ready to do it again. I'll just consider it a 120 hour labor!
