Ok.  Since I know I love Nicki... and I know that I love MO... and anyone who calls herself Turkey Pants and is related to MO just has to be loveable....   I will gladly add my Hong Kong Phooeyesque  

I have a picture in my head of WWW and a 24-hour MK colliding.  :partythree:  :panic:  :pope:

OMG I love how you think and well... just you in general.  Both of you.  :heartsmiley:   Seriously folks, only do crazy things like this with people you truly adore or you will probably end up killing

I would participate in the posting of TR fun facts, but I can't remember most of it! Reading this I am like "Oh yeah, we did that! We're Awesome!"

 

Coincidentally - this is also what we looked like about 12 hours in -> :rofl2:

 

just wait till we get to Cosmic Rays..... :rofl3:  :rofl3:  :rofl3:

BPBTTME

(Bread pudding brings tears to my eyes.)

 

I finally did it right, or close, this time.

 

As hungry as I was (it was about 6 hours since the sandwich I had for lunch) I had only one piece of the delicious brown bread and only ordered an appetizer (the oh-so-delicious scallops) and then dove into the bread pudding.

 

I could still only get about 3/4 of the way through it.

 

...and I'd give my left pinkie toe for the other 1/4 of it right about now.

Let's Pop The Ibuprofen & Hit The First Mountain -

 

 

Here is the sight we all love to see.

I call this PP fail.  Somehow my eyes are closed but if you crop me out it's a good one of Mo and Nicole.

The first time I had actually seen one of these cars live.

Here is one of  the mandatory clock pictures.  Despite a search on three FB accts and through my camera photo, I can't find the picture of Mo & Nicole under the clock in the morning... I am sure I remember taking one.

Now our quest begins.  Since we were in the park for 24 hours we wanted to ride every ride and see every attraction.  Now Nicole can't ride anything that drops, so  we knew going in that this was a two person mission.  The downside is that this also meant we had to ride a few rides one or both of us collectively didn't like.  Since no one seemed to be heading into tomorrow land we decided to head there first.

This means the dreaded Chiropractors Dream.  So we put on our big girl britches (no whining), downed some ibuprofen and headed up to ride-

I don't know if you can see the Stand-by time but it says 10 minutes.
 
8859706081_7fa679c29e_b.jpg
 
As you can see it was actually less than 10 mins.  We walked up and walked on.

You know it was a bit early.  
8859691243_70eee0e4b8_b.jpg
 

 

Also I discovered something else, I don't know if it was the car we where in but the ride was smoother from the right side than the last time I rode it on the left side.  Still I prefer Big Thunder.....  And does anyone else think it's weird that Walt though we'd never walk in tomorrowland.  All the attractions have moving walkways.

I will admit that our trip through the 24 hours was a bit erratic.  We skipped a few things here and there in the morning.  Things we thought would make good napping spots later in the day.  I will admit though, I was on a mission to get my least favorite rides done before the lines got too long.  On that note, it's time to inhale carbon monoxide in large quantities.

The traffic was just terrible

Here is Baby, her driving lessons are paying off -

Mo is concentrating on her driving

Unfortunately, I was not.  I was too busy taking pictures.

Finally I get Mo's attention-

And that puts us at 6:45am...
 

 

Next up Mo makes good on her debts...

6:45 - Mo pays her Debts & Things That Go Spin -

 

There was this little kiddie ride that Mo hates.  It's so simple and short and spins.  However, there were three things ensuring she would have to ride.  The Quest to Ride Everything and she owed Nx 2 some debts.  Her first debt was to me.  I had decided that since she had "persuaded" me to ride CoP during WWW she owed me a ride on something just as mind spinning (durn that song).  Second was her debt to Nicole, Nicole had been forced to do something even more heiniuos than ride CoP.  She'd taken Mo's husband shoe shopping.  Thrid was the Quest.  So my friends, Monique of the BradyBzLynn was riding those blasted Cups.

 

Note - There is an optimal time to ride the cups to avoid getting sick.  You need to not be hungry, not be full, and be able to focus on the cranking that wheel.

Paying up- Though she did make us sit on our hands :(

At least after Nicole fixed her hair flip-

"Now Nicki, why did you post the same picture of the Tea Cups twice?"  I didn't.  Now it's time for some real tea cup ridin-
8859570605_f3513d0c35_b.jpg
 

 

Yes, Mo rode it twice.  The second time by herself so she could get these -

Now that two spins on the cups were down.  We started to contemplate breakfast.  So we meandered back towards the People Mover, suddenly Mo perks up and I realize that i am about to ride another not so favorite.
 
8860120452_c162c174e0_b.jpg
 
 
Once again, it was walk up, ride up, walk on.   I call this one Sunrise of Nicole.
8859506065_c518dd08b6_b.jpg
 
I then decided to put my big girl britches on, since it was almost impossible to control the thing from so far away (bad ride design) and take pictures instead.

Once we were done with the less enjoyable Dumbo Rocket On Steroids it was finally time for some FOOOOOD!  We went downstairs and ordered this.

At this point I have to give some serious credit to the Sisters-In-Law.  Before I committed to this excursion, they figured out a few things.  We would need the right type of bag to carry our stuff.  We'd need to snag a locker.  We would need water bottles... etc.  Nicole went out and found the perfect bag for the job and even took that bag to Cabbalas and picked Nx2 up some nifty bottles that fit in the pocket of our bag.  She was rocking the awesome planning.  
 
The only thing missing was the Rum-

Breakfast was served at 7:21am.
 
Now it's time to let Mo or Nicole add a photo, update or a comment or two.

Not too big, not too small, lightweight (at least empty), lots of convenient pockets and a strap that's long enough to wear over your head and across your body (big selling point for me).

 

Comes in lots of patterns and colors (from hideous to snazzy) and there are zillions of them on eBay where you can get them for about half of what they retail for.

That bag sounds great!  I will have to watch e-bay and yard sales for them. 

 

Years ago, when I was planning our Give a Day, Get a Day trip, I read (on another board that shall not be named) about a sale on bags that some ladies there recommended made by Overland Equipment.  I bought one on sale and have been very happy with it.  It is very ugly, but very functional.

 

The Vera Bradley bags look much prettier. :)

All caught up!

This is almost like having a second WWW TR in one year. I didnt think Disney allowed such a thing more than once per calender year?

DD4 loved the Star Jets.......she wanted them to go faster. Walk-on they would be okay but we waited a bit too long methinks.

 

You know... one more trip wouldn't be so bad.  Do you think Disney would allow another?

Oh yes, the Hipster.

I have it in Plum petals (I think that's what it's called.)  We have an outlet one exit up I-79 from my in-laws permanent camp, so we get there as often as we can.  Like the day before Memorial Day.  When everything in the store is 50% off of their outlet price.  This year I got the Little Flap Hipster in Portobello Road. (and there goes that song in my head again...)  That makes 5 purses a wallet and a couple of other misc items of Vera.....  Never pay retail price. Always outlet or at least from the website.  They have sales all the time online.

 

I love your pictures so far!   Although it looks like you could have probably used a 4th for riding.  I'll gladly stow away next time to join you!   :P

Was that pretzel filled with sweet cream cheese?

 

Why yes, yes it was!  That and a large diet coke at about 7am = Breakfast of Champions!

Hi Kimmie!!  :heartsmiley:

 

I think we should start lobbying Disney now to make sure the next 24 hour marathon is on a non-GG weekend so ALLLLL the Wild Womenz can be there!!

 

Well, at least all the ones as crazy as the Theme Park Warriors™ -- ARMS UP!!
