in the trenches of Disney World
August 14, 2006
The third part in my Disney World series is up over at my other blog. Ten Eleven Tips you don’t want to miss out on.
Such as alternate uses for the rain poncho, like suffucating your tantruming toddler into submission.*
Come back later as I am going to go grocery shopping this morning. You know you want to hear all about it. How I bought bread and milk… and maybe even some watermelon. I may even try that new fangled self check out. I know…CRAZY! Such is the thrilling life I lead and so generously share with all of you.
*(do I have to write that I am joking and he was actually taking the poncho off of her? probably, sigh.)

I refuse to use the self-checkout. I worked at Krogers for 5 years and at Kmart for 2. I must be waited on….. :0P

August 14th, 2006 at 8:18 amThat Disney guide is so smart. I was expecting it to be jokey but you actually have good suggestions!
Here’s one more for ya: On hot days, the characters are only allowed out for a very very short period of time. You have to stalk them, grab them right as they’re coming out of wardrobe into the park or they’ll be gone, leaving your sobbing, no autograph-getting kid in their wake.
August 14th, 2006 at 8:33 amNO to self-checkout. Let someone do something for you for a change.
August 14th, 2006 at 8:47 amI love the self check out, as i means i can avoid interacting with a human. Of course i hate grocery shopping so much that i go everyday, so i usually only have a few things.
August 14th, 2006 at 8:52 amSelf-checkout is good in theory (esp. if you have only one item), but it usually takes us longer to do it that way than it does to have a checker do it. All that fumbling and “Mommy, can I help??” Ugh. ;^)
August 14th, 2006 at 9:08 amYou totally had to explain the photo. I could feel people out there about to write you nasty comments. Do I need to explain that I wasn’t one of those people?
August 14th, 2006 at 9:12 amI anxiously await the news from the grocery store! It is a chore I have never loved, fortunately my husband is well trained, I can give him a list and a kid and he’ll do it for me, only works when he’s around but still
August 14th, 2006 at 10:10 amSo are you saying I should NOT use the rain poncho as a tantrum deterrent?
Duly noted.
August 14th, 2006 at 10:59 amBread AND milk at the same time! I never would have dared. You are hott.
August 14th, 2006 at 11:47 amer, so I shouldn’t really duct tape their mouths closed either, then?
and hey - I got to go grocery shopping ALL BY MYSELF yesterday! wow. it was amazing. I spent about half what I normally would (and got about half the food, but still). It was so peaceful. I will have to contrast that with how the trip goes tomorrow or wednesday to pick up the other things we need with the kids. No milk or bread though. meat, fruit, and veggies.
August 14th, 2006 at 12:33 pmThe first thing I am going to get when I get rich (HA!) is somebody to do the grocery shopping for me and putting up the groceries for me. I would rather clean house. And I would really rather not do that either.
August 14th, 2006 at 2:04 pmI am also enjoying your tips on Disney.
Yep. It’s true. I totally want to be you.
August 14th, 2006 at 2:11 pmOh, Chris, that picture is hysterical, as was you post above it. Thanks again for the laughs.
August 14th, 2006 at 8:01 pmSelf-checkouts aren’t too scary, as long as you have half a brain, which I believe you do. Most people who visit our town, a big tourist destination, seem to be lacking their brains, as the self-checkout usually takes weeks.
August 14th, 2006 at 8:08 pmThat photo is hilarious! I had to look twice. I thought she was only wearing a diaper under the poncho….now, THAT would have been FUNNY!
August 14th, 2006 at 10:03 pmyou have TWO blogs? holy crap!!!
so, you’re up at 7 AM. but … what time do you go to bed? hmmm???
fantastic photo. it looks to me like she is being suffocated. good thing you added the disclaimer!
