Trip Report THE ONE WITH A FEW MAGICIANS IN AUGUST 🤡COMPLETE🤡

Hello again.
I have another trip booked in less than three weeks so I need to power through this. So let’s go.....

In my last TR you all convinced me to take a side trip to WDW after dropping my son off at school. I was on the fence until one poster (I am too lazy to look it up) said they would never pass up an opportunity to visit WDW. I agree.

Not too long after that we had a big family get together and I asked if anyone wanted to drive down to Florida with X and I then go to WDW with me for a couple days. My 16YO nephew said yes but he is kind of a nervous type so I did not take him seriously. A few days later his mother, my SIL said, “you know J was serious right?”

I went on DVC and booked a room immediately. I could not believe my luck when I got a 1BR at Boardwalk. I have been trying for 12 years to stay there. Yay!!!

THEN my SIL, also being the nervous type, said she would go too. WHAT???
She was just there at Christmas and she is going with me in September for food and wine. This is way out of character for her.

THEN my youngest, Dre, decides he wants to go. Wait. We are not all going to fit in X’s
truck.

SIL suggests she fly down with the boys and meet me at Disney. That is what we did. Let me tell you about it......

Interesting. (However my monitor is set up, I could not see that sign from the other page -- only a very slight bit of it. ) But the way you were able to post it above, I could see Annette's name mentioned on the 2nd line. Thanks for posting that!

 

[Tuvalu]

I did. She's not in the photo.

That's because @Darstarr 's favorite Mouseketeer isn't Annette.
It's Darleen....bottom right.

 

[Darstarr]

Still no lotion?!

Can you believe it???

my better angels said not to reply but...nice gams

HA HA HA HA
Thanks...I think

I'd put it on like a necklace, all lit up, and dance away after one too many margaritas at a party! My very own version of the infamous lampshade on the head!
I need that thing!

I would LOVE to see that!!!

The elephant in the lobby is based on the famous "Lucy the Elephant" in Margate City, New Jersey, which is very close to Atlantic City. Lucy was built in 1881, is 6 stories tall, and used to be a hotel! She is now a historic landmark. You can go inside of her! I haven't been since I was a child. I think I recall circular steps in one of her legs!

You, @SandiSmiles are a plethora of knowledge!! If I am ever down that way I will hunt Lucy down for a photo opp. Thank you!!!

 

[Darstarr]

How about stringing them up in a potted palm tree?

Love that idea!

I should have added in my original post: my kid is very “normal” ... which is why I am appreciate your comments about your kids.

Normal is the new black!

darleen always seemed a bit sketchy to me

Wait, which one?

I asked for lotion at Coronado, they always had it, as recently as May. They did not even have any stocked on their carts. Getting soap, or even a notepad or pen, was also apparently something now impossible. Don’t even get me started on toilet tissue. (Thank the Lord, for Kleenex)

True Value, er @Tuvalu is correct. My favorite mouseketeer is Darlene. Sorry for the confusion. I thought that one would be kind of obvious.

 

[NessNewt]

I think the scene with Jack Jack battling the racoon is one of the funniest scenes ever filmed. Ever!!!

Saw it with my youngest in theaters and we were both cracking up at that scene! It's GOLD.

Lucy is really cool and I love that they have a replica of her at Boardwalk! I hope you get to visit her someday! #SouthJerseyPride lol

Feeling the need to stand up for us lol...

I noticed “Dar” in the corner and immediately got it too. And Minnie wasn’t necessarily saying her guess was Annette, just pointing out that she was missing. And then I thought it was ironic that her name was in the same corner of the picture that you pointed out.

BRUTAL!!!

and I thought you would say Don..... who coincidentally grew up to be Robbie Douglas on My Three Sons.

The whole Mouseketeers thing was turning into "@Darstarr gate"!

 

[PacNWTigger]

Maybe Dre is more like Joey Travolta??
Technically Vinnie Barbarino's brother, right?

 

[lindawdw]

We love staying at The Boardwalk Villas although we always stay in the studio. We're actually staying there the end of October in a one bedroom and your room location is the exact area that I had requested when I made the reservation!!! It looks like you had a fun time in DHS. Your younger son looks so much like his older brother!

 

[Darstarr]

I got that too. hee hee hee

Two for two???

Ha ha. Yes I see the irony.

Well, obviously he is my second favorite. Good to have you here. Where ya been??

No thanks!
