BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Ok, I'll jump in...Mo Puts On Her Big Girl Pants and Flies AloneAs many of you know, my office is located at the Manchester Airport. That makes it super convenient to fly out of here - leave your car in the parking lot free of charge, 7 minute walk to the terminal and BAM, there you go!Well the one small catch to that plan is that in all my 40+ years I've never flown all by my lonesome.All I can say is thank goodness I was flying out of Manchester!At 1:00pm Thursday I left my office, grabbed my carryon from the car and wheeled it over to the terminal.I'd already printed my boarding pass, so with zero line at security, I was sitting at my gate waiting about 3 minutes after I entered the terminal.Here's my ride...The flight was jam packed - not an empty seat to be had. Seemed like the plane was filled with families with young kids and very old people... and me. I ended up in a middle seat (ugh) but it was a largely uneventful flight.Buy-bye snow...So pretty above the clouds...The descent into Orlando was pretty rough, but we made it to the ground in one piece.Now for the trek across the vastness that is MCO...Yes folks, the entirety of Manchester-Boston Regional Airport could fit in the atrium/mall of MCO!The first hint at where I'm headed - and my first official "monorail" ride of the weekend...Finally!!It took a good 40 minutes+ to load up the DME bus and leave for the Fort, but eventually we were on our way!About 45 minutes and a few hilarious texts later, and I was getting off DME and running straight into Rita and Carol! :jumpforjoyI jumped in the truck, said hello to Mama and quickly met Judy and Nicki - my soon-to-be new partners in crime. Dinner pics from Raglan Road...Appetizer combo (Appetizer d'Tirrah) was fantastic - especially the scallops.Delicious, spicy Irish Bloody Mary...Best. Dessert. EVAH.One reason we chose dinner at DTD was that we'd have something to do if we felt like poking around after.We didn't.We were all pooped from travel, and now with our bellies full we decided it was night-night time.So back to the Fort we went!But not without more "Fun With Texting" which involved another Fiend not at the Fort... and in fact not even a Womenz. And the first of the virtually non-stop, belly-busting, "please stop I can't breathe," laughing began!We all bunked in with Angie that first night (thanks again, Angie!!). And while I won't say who, suffice it to say there was snoring and some throwing of blankets... although we're still not sure if the latter was intentional or not.

Total Joker ... TJ 203 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Do you think the other texts are still around? I deleted them.After re-reading them, I know why!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Since I am currently under the weather (kim my voice has dropped three octaves since last you heard it) and it is keeping me entertained so I will add one more update.Happy, Sleepy, & Dopey Have A Margarita-Before we can proceed, we need to introduce you to Monique's Rules For Riding Tower Of Terror.1. Hands up2. Feet Up3. Loose lap belt (discovered on the second trip thru on this day)Ok, that done. Let's get moving people. I can see it!!I don't even remember what the wait time was and I didn't care. I was in front of my obsession, Shardi needed to conquer her hangups (not to mention give me the correct phone number to text her husband), and Mo kept experimenting with ways to improve the ride experience. Our Row for the first ride -So Mo is fearless, Nicki was just trying to hold everything up at once, and Shardi really tried but she has....T-Rex arms-We decided to grab some fast passes just in the event we wanted to return to the ToT. Then we headed next door to Rockin Roller Coaster. Unfortunately I didn't get a good ride picture so you are stuck with this one. We rode single rider but all go lucky on the same train. I will say this was my single most scariest trip on RRC. My seat restraint would not come down all the way and had about 3-5 inches of play. I knew I wouldn't fall out but I still moved a lot more than I wanted to. Every inversion and corkscrew was an experiment in keeping me from sliding up and down in the seat.As we were walking to RRC, someone said hey let's get some temporary tattoos. This is what we ended up with-We still had a lot of time to kill before potentially using our FP. So we hopped into line again for T0T. Twenty minutes in we were told that "Your stay here might be a little longer than expected". It was repeated about 10 minutes later but we were already committed (or needed to be committed). Here are a few of the in line photos.Sometime during our waits in ToT, TJ completed two thirds of his mission. He still had one third he wasn't sure about. A hour or so later he finally figure it out but that's his story to tell.... or Missy's.I just have to say that no, Mo's arms are not longer than mine. Her lap belt was just looser than mine. However, Shardi finally let loose. We still had time to kill and a decision to make but Mo (sleepy) had an IDEA -\Shardi had another -At this point, one schmuck faced (not my term) cranky bus driver called me so he could talk to Mo. Apparently the ToT operators did not get the memo about suspending the ride mid-air so that Mo can answer her phone when he calls.... :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3:Once we had all managed a brain freeze or two and we checked in with Spec to see what to do when his Magnolia said "Wheeee" while standing in line at Tot, it was time to use the FP-At this point, we discovered just how many times it takes to fix my OCD with a ride.... 3. Since most of the others had arrived at the Fort we decided to head back. We texted Judy to find they were all going to the Contemporary to eat so we hopped a bus there. We also hatched a plan to go to the Magic Kingdom to catch the BTMRR and get Mo her Dole Whip. This meant I needed a better jacket since it was getting cold but for now it's time to sit back and wait for the others to get their pictures uploaded and meet us at the Contemporary for dinner.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Go Nicki Go!Yes folks, we managed to spend about 4 hours at HS and never leave that one part of the park!And yes Lorna - y'all need to get yourselves there earlier next year. We managed to pack a whole lotta shenanigans into the first part of Friday.I am not sure $20 is enoughYou're right. And we don't want transcript evidence floating around out in the ether.I suggest people call TJ and he reads the texts to them... and charges $9.95 per minute.Somehow that seems appropriate all the way around.
