Blacksheep Uncle lives locally and is always ready to play! The rest is history. The song flowed nicely with real names. Lisann22 plays the part of Thelma; SuzieQ the part of Louise. Please watch your local paper for the launch of our new travel agency, lol. Sung to the theme song from Gilligan's Island: Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this strange idea, to take a long day trip. The planner was a mighty travelin' one, the Instigator to be sure, the group got this strange email, for a 24 hour tour, a 24 hour tour. The emails started getting rough, protests, they were tossed. If not for the efforts of the new Agency the trip it would be lost. The trip it would be lost. The car set off from Antioch to Disneyland for the day with Thelma, and Louise too. A full gas tank and friend Icey, goodgirl Add Wendebird and velo, too, and you’ve got our full crew. (Ending verse) So this is the tale of insane friends, who went for a long long ride. They really made the best of things, it wasn’t such a trial. Thelma and Louise too did their very best, to make the others comf'terble in their confines of the car. Pillows, blankets, beef jerky , they had the luxuries like true Disney geeks that they all are it's non-primitive as can be. So join us here as each friend adds, new details of the trip, from six insane Disney friends who made the Ultimate Road Trip!

While sitting on Main Street, we did indeed talk about July 17th and how fun it was to sit with you prior to laying prostate in the street to hold enough space for those out riding. Satisfied?

When we rode Splash, we got stuck again & had to walk out of the mountain. When we ate lunch at Rancho, Big Thunder went down. LOL, Icey has powers beyond belief!

Originally Posted By SuzieQ LOL! My butt is more sore than my hands. 400 miles each way yesterday, plus a day-long tour of San Francisco on Friday is a LOT of sitting. And let's not forget an hour of yesterday's sitting was in the middle of Main Street waiting for fireworks!

Originally Posted By chickendumpling Ya know, the next time you guys plan a whirlwind trip I could probably manage to fly down with Goodgirl... I'll even promise not to use emoticons for a whole month if you promise to take me on your next Disneyland adventure! (Giving up the exclamation points may be a bit more challenging though.) As you can tell, I am just green with envy. But I am so glad you guys had such a good trip. I'm very impressed with your travel agency and your witty little Gilligan song there too.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 I think goodgirl is drafting up a whole trip report as her adventure actually started Thursday night, as did mine. I picked her up and we headed to SuzieQ's house. Next morning we were off to SF to show goodgirl the sights. After sightseeing and Tonga room chopsticks and umbrellas drinks with Kar2oonman we were back at SuzieQ's around 10pm. Had to catch up with Velo and Wendebird so didn't actually go to sleep till around 11:45pm. I didn't really fall asleep till around 12:30am I think. I was up at 2:50am - in the shower and we were out the door once IceKnyght arrive. 3:50am was the precise take off time for this mad zany trip. At precisely 9:26am, I pulled SuzieQ T&L travelmobile into the Mickey and Friends parking lot. At approx. 10am, we were inside DL getting a locker and heading for the HM! Talk about a day! Ready to go again. All because IceKnyght said, I need to go to DL soon, SuzieQ said, me too. I said, well...it can be done! 48 hours later - we was roadtripping!!!

And yes, it does get more difficult to say the name of those the more of them you drink.
