Hang Out and Post

Heh. What did you do when you were in the Netherlands? And where did you go? (Amsterdam probably..) :)

 

I love to travel, but unfortunately we usually don't have enough money to do fun things (like shop, buy new stuff) AND go on vacation. But so far I've been to the Netherlands (well duh, I live there :P), Belgium, France (several times, my boyfriend's parents have a house there), Spain and England. I'm dying to go to America and Japan sometime..

 

Cool! Yeah I went to Amsterdam. It was cool. I really want to go to Belgium and have their chocolate and waffles :) . I live in America and have been to almost all of the states (including Alaska and Hawaii). Japan sounds cool too. I would reaaaaalllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy love to go to the Carribean or Bahamas on a cruise sometime. I have already been on one to Alaska. Fun times!!!

[Spritzie]

Ha! Maybe...idk. I doubt my parents would let me :) .

 

I'm 24 (and a half. But shhhh don't tell anyone) I'm a responsible adult. It's ok. lol

I went to Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, in 2008, on a cruise. It was gorgeous. We hung out at the beach, walked around the marina. It was beautiful. I'm dying to go on an Alaskan cruise. (And a Disney one) My dad has been on 2 Alaskan ones, one with his dad, and one with my mom last year for their anniversary.

[Divya Bean]

That is so cool! I am so jealous! A Disney cruise would be kind of nice. I wouldnt like it only because it would be so crowded and loud with fans screaming...but then again, I would be too :laughingsmiley: .

[Spritzie]

I grew up with this guy who was a couple years younger than me... he was an even bigger Disney fanatic than me. (I was a HUGE Minnie Mouse fan.) Just like me, he said he was going to work at the Disney Store at the mall, when he turned 18. (Just after I turned 18, they closed all of the stores in my city. So by the time he was 18, they were long gone.) But he went to college for I don't remember what, but with hopes of working for Disney. And sure enough, he's now down in Florida, working for Disney.

 

His dad lost his job a few years ago and wasn't have luck here, so him and his wife moved down there too. And now he's also working for Disney.

 

But my point was... lol they went on a few Disney cruises. The pictures they brought back were amazing.... someday... I'll go on one.

Thats amazing! Hey, maybe you could get him to get a cruise! Maybe even for *free*! Wow! A free cruise! Now thats what I want for my birthday!

[Spritzie]

As employees of Disney, they do get perks. Like, they get 2 or so, free park passes a month, to give to friends and family and such. I don't remember any of the other perks. But being Disney, I'm sure there's quite a few. Maybe it's time for me to relocate. lol

Me = working at Disneyland and dressing up as a princess. The end.

[Spritzie]

Wow... when I was at Disneyland when I was 5, what I wanted to do the most, was run around after the characters and get signatures. lol

 

I actually went to a costume sleep-over when I was younger, as Belle. I went in her big yellow gown. It was amazing.

[Domino]

That's the best. I have to find all of my old autograph books, because that was the absolute best part about going to Disneyland when you're little.

[Spritzie]

I only got to go once. We were supposed to go again, when my parents decided to sell our Land Cruiser. (It's been 16 years since they sold it. We still haven't gone. lol)

 

My sister went to Disney World twice with a friend. I only got to go to DW the one time, because my dad won an MVP award at work, and since his company supplies a lot of equipment to Disney, they had the stuff at Disney World. (There were 500 MVPs there, from like, 50 countries, and they represented the top 5% of the company.) My parents took me along. While they were at dinners and award things, I was roaming Downtown Disney and Epcot. :whistle:

[Unstream]

I've never been to Disneyland.

Is it really all that great? I mean if you aren't a little kid anymore?

[Domino]

That's so cool. I would totally want to work in like the executive staff for Disney or the administrative staff or whatever. That would be awesome. But like I said. I plan on being one of the characters too. :D

You can NEVER get too old for Disney! lol mostly. I was 18 when I went to Disney World. I thought Magic Kingdom was a bit too kiddie for me. I absolutely loved Epcot though.

That would be awesome! The guy I grew up with, he started out operating rides, even though he has some sort of fancy degree. (Possibly in graphics or animation. I don't remember) But that's how they all start I believe. He moved a few months ago, and he's already moved to a new position.

 

Being a character would be cool. I would have to Minnie, I think. Or Belle. Actually... I'd love to be an employee in Germany at Epcot. But there, they have an employee exchange thing. The people in the countries, are actually from there. So I guess I'd have to be in the American part.

[Domino]

I'm sure becoming a character would be a giant pain in the butt though, cause you probably have to go through -so- many background checks. I wouldn't mind being a ride operator either, as long as it was a fun ride. Like one where you get to dress up cool. Like Space Mountain.

[Spritzie]

Space Mountain was my total favorite ride at Disneyland. I was 5, and barely tall enough to ride it. I insisted to my parents I wanted to ride it. We got near the front... I changed my mind. But my parents made me go anyway. And I loved it. I rode it over and over.

[Tyler.]

when I went to Disneyland when I was 3 I was too scared to go on any of the rides.

[Spritzie]

3? I don't blame you. I doubt many 3 years would want to much of anything. I think that's too young for parents to take their kids places like Disneyland and Disney World. Not because they're annoying, or it's a pain. But because that's usually too young for kids to remember what it was like.

 

I was 5, and I hardly remember most of it. I remember bits and pieces. Like going to the Back Draft thing at... where-ever. And my sister (who was 8) freaked out and my dad had to take her out. Or, playing on the mouse play thing, with all the big sized sewing stuff. Or the shark tubes at Sea World. But I remember whining a few years ago that I never got to meet Minnie Mouse. And I was very upset about this. Then we found the pictures and what did we find? A picture of little me, with Minnie Mouse. lol How could I forget about THAT???

[Domino]

Haha Spritzie. You forgot about meeting your idol?!

 

Yeah, I think that 3 would be a little scary. I remember I used to be too afraid to go take a picture with the princesses. Now I'm thinking, why would I ever be scared of them??

[Captain Awesome Pants]

I was four when I first went to Disney. And then again when I was fourteen.

 

Both times were a blast. :D I've got to say I loved just about every single part of it, each time. Except the Haunted House. First time, I was scared to death of the howling wolf noises and then the second time because I'm simply a chicken (and then we get in and they do the whole thing where the close everyone in a small room which I hated because I'm claustrophobic, and then the ride broke down. Scared the crap out of me <_<)

[Spritzie]

I know! Isn't that terrible? :laughingsmiley:

 

I used to have a friend is Cali, that an adorable little girl. I think she was 2 at the time. And they took her to Disneyland all the time. But she always would talk about how she was scared to do things. But they took her on Halloween one year, dressed as Tinkerbell, and she did a little modeling thing in a costume thing for kids.

 

EDIT: YAY! My 400th post!

gratz on becoming a SM, spritzie, I once wanted to go to Disneyland on Halloween, but my mom said it would be too crowded

Awww Haunted Mansion is my favorite ride. I love it.... Though the movie was definetly a letdown. Nothing compared to Pirates. And Disneyland during Christmas is the best. The.Best. Haunted Mansion is Nightmare Before Christmas. You can't beat it.

 

Edit: Congrats Spritzie!

[Unstream]

How about Hershey? Anyone ever been to there?

It's just about the only amusement park I've ever been too :P

 

Oh, and congrats on becoming an SM, Spritzie!

When we went to DW, they were showcasing the Mars ride at Epcot. (My dad's company was a big sponser for it) My dad and I went to Epcot during the day, then at night, when my parents had to go to the award ceremony, I went back to catch the fireworks. I hopped onto the Mars ride. I got to the front of the line, and they stopped everyone. I guess it was malfunctioning. Then they fixed it, and got everyone lined up to get on, then decided it wasn't fixed. They did this for about 45 minutes. (I was afraid I was going to miss the fireworks) Finally we got on. I was slightly worried. I guess someone spilled a drink near the ride, and the way it was built, the slight reflection from the water, could cause it to malfunction and could have ultimately been a bad thing. I was like... ummmm.... fantastic! :crying:

Thank you. I want to go back. It's been ... well, forever, since I've been there. I have to make it out there sometime. And back to DW. And... a whole list of other places. I'm dying to get back to Las Vegas.

[Domino]

You both lose. Have you ever been on "It's a Small World?" If you haven't, it's basically a cutesy little boat ride with all these dolls from around the world singing "It's a Small World". I got stuck on that. For an hour. And they didn't shut the music off.

 

Is it like Hershey's Chocolate amusement park?
