Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I am going to give you one more mini post today while I wait for the camera pics to upload. In just four hours, we were up though not necessarily awake. The Baby was grumbling about rebelling and staying in bed, i was trying to make sure I didn't forget anything in the guest house, and Monique was at the door ready for us to get in the car - The Baby aka Nicole - Me and Mo being photobombed (she must have studied Kahhhhlla from WWW)- Nicole decided that Mo might forget where her office was so she made her a few signs- I decided that Mo needed more children's art work on her walls - Perhaps tomorrow Mo can get the rest of our redecoration skills in photo evidence. We acted like children. We shot people with nerf guns, drew on chaulk boards and white boards. I surfed. Nicole organized. Mo, tell John we said hi! That's all I can add today until the photos upload.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Ok I'm gonna back this TR up a bit to how this insanity all started in the first place... On the evening of April 25th, Disney announced the 24 hour Monstrous Summer kickoff at a special press event. I happened to catch the notice shortly after it happened, and I admit that before I powered down the laptop for the night, I did a little poking around the Southwest site to see what airfare was running. Then I chuckled to myself and went to bed. On the morning of April 26, Turkey Pants tags me in a post on FB first thing in the morning saying essentially "ARE WE DOING THIS?!?!" Cut to 3 hours later and the 2 of us had booked airfare and were working on getting a room at POP Century, after abandoning our initial TRULY insane plan of staying at the Fort in a rented tent (thanks to Dave and Schmuck Face aka, the voices of reason... go figure!) The primary deciding factor for me in even considering this trip was the fact that I was still sitting on an AP and a sizable credit with Southwest that brought my airfare down to $57. Throw in Nicole (and her DH) offering to pay for my share of the room as my birthday present and... I WAS GOING TO WDW FOR $57 TO SPEND 24 HOURS IN THE MAGIC KINGDOM! Somewhere, somehow in the middle of all this, we managed to snare Nicki in the insane butterfly net that was our hairbrained idea. As it happened, she was going to need to be in this part of the world for meetings her DH had for work very close to this time. That was going to put her only about 4 hours away from us, hmmmm..... If only Nicki could find a campground somewhere near Nicole or I... we could then all take advantage of the cheap airfare from MHT to MCO and increase our insane little party by one. hmmmm.... There was one little hiccup in this potential kidnapping - Memorial Day Weekend. Finding a last minute, decent campsite in New England on the summer kickoff holiday weekend is a challenge to say the least. But apparently one Nicki was up to, as about a week later, she too booked her Southwest flight and our insane little posse was now 3! Then the planning began in earnest... after all, there was never a question that we were spending the entire 24 hours in the Magic Kingdom. For us there was no point in flying all the way down for this otherwise. We knew it would be hot, crowded, Hot, busy and H-O-T, so we spent an inordinate amount of time 1) finding the right bag that was not too big to carry but not to small to carry 24 hours worth of stuff in it 2) figuring out what shoes to wear - HELLOOOOO 24 HOURS!!! and 3) jumping up and down giggling about this ridiculous plan of ours. The plans were finalized and consisted of N&N coming to my house Wednesday night for dinner and a sleepover (well, SOME of us slept - apparently the 2 Nicoles decided to stay up yakking more than half the night). They would then come to work with me Thursday morning, as my office is actually at the Manchester airport and short walk to the terminal, so we could leave the car there. Oddly enough, amid all the artwork, nerf gun fights, and general shenanigans (the people I work with now want to invite Nx2 to our next office party), I actually did finish up the work I had to do and we headed to the terminal a little after noon to grab some lunch and wait for our flight. And there you have it. How one little FB message turned into a mission of epic, ridiculous and insane proportions. I will now return you to your regularly scheduled trip report... P.S. Oh yes, and I really did approve that first photo, horrifying as it is (LOL). As Nicki mentioned, I am a northern girl - born and raised. I walk around in a sweatshirt in the dead of winter and I melt when temperatures hit 80 for more than 5 minutes. When we decided we were actually doing this crazy thing - and me being in FL in late May was actually far more crazy an idea than spending 24 hours in MK - I warned N&N that I was going to be "melty" at best and that this was NOT going to be pretty. But hey - last I checked this was a mission of epic proportions and not a fashion show so.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 She forgot the side mission. She and I would ride every ride and try for most of the attractions in the Magic Kingdom at least one. So Game is on... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is that even feasible?Sure it's feasible and as a part time, time traveler that would explain why you don't have the time travel jargon down. However, we would need a full time, time traveler to double check our technical facts... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
