PeepsII-The Hot, Sweaty Asian Strikes Back. Feb 2010. 12/2-Part 2 has begun.

[jordanyosh]

I have nevers, (since it's the thing to do)

-- ridden Astro Orbiter

-- been to Conservation Station at AK (does ANYONE go here?)

-- and here's the GRANDEST OF ALL!!! I've have never-----------

Met Mickey, in person!!! On my honor, I swear it's true! I will now tuck my tail and run.

You must meet the main man!!!!!!! I am not a character kind of guy and I think even I have a pic with Mickey somewhere.

I've been to Conservation Station...I think I last went in 99.

I've never eaten at Rose and Crown.

I've never done a pressed penny.

I don't own a lanyard.

 

[eandesmom]

If you have time, see One Man's Dream, if only for all the Disney memorabilia and history displayed in the waiting area. I usually spend half an hour just looking at the pre-show stuff.....

Oh it's on the must do list!

I also have never eaten at Rose andCrown but it is top of my next time list !!

Would you like a TFW lanyard I have at least 50 of them!!!

I've never done Ellens Universe !!

And I am the Mudda who goes with the family Only becuz they insist they say I know how to plan !!

 

[jordanyosh]

Yes, but they occasionally change. He's usually there Wednesday - Saturday nights, 8:30 to midnight. He posts his schedule about a month in advance on his website. www.yehaabob.com

Thanks!

You've never been on Universe of Energy? It's a 45 minute air-conditioned nap waiting to happen. I've actually gotten on the floor of the car and fallen asleep. I do enjoy the attraction, but if I'm hot and tired, I love going to UoE!!!!!!!

 

[winkers]

I was quite possibly at WDW with my OWN mother! I am not certain, but perhaps that could have been a quite larger brain fart moment when I decided to include them. As far as I"m concerned, mixing it up with parents of any kind should be forbidden. I hereby invite all of us who've been so dumb to give intervention when needed to whomever embraces this risky inclusionary thinking.

Cynthia, I'm praying for you!!

we need a support group

this is why I plan to bring my niece to disneyland....without my sister, who I love spending time with normally, but she doesn't get my love for disney.

 

[winkers]

I've never.....been to pleasure island

dined at Rose and Crown without serious consequences

been through Mickey and Minnies houses

watched the parade at DHS

 

[englishrose47]

Wahoo!!! I've been to PI!!!!!

I lied when I said I hadn't ridden a roller coaster I rode Barnstormer with Kyle and I was PETRIFIED

I have never had Figaro Fries with or without the lettuce !!!

I have ridden Dinasaur !!!

I haven't had those either as I have never eaten at the Village Haus at least at WDW.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Hmmm, we are playing the I Never Game!

Let's see, I have never:

had a Grey Goose Slushie

been on Mission:Space

eaten at Le Cellier

eaten at the castle

There are tons more they are just not coming to me at the moment!

Chapter 36. Adventures in dogsitting

So for the last week, we've had the "privilege" of dogsitting for a friend of Leo's. Now don't get me wrong I love dogs, but Chihuahua's....do they really qualify as a dog? It's more like a large rodent. I didn't hate having the dog around and honestly Buddy loved having someone closer to his age. They really had a lot of fun together and the dog was VERY affectionate.

Her name Chanel...with a crown studded collar...need I say more:

Yo quiero Taco Bell

Buddy and Chanel:

Trip related info:

Airfare Roulette
Kim and Allan have booked their airfare.2/6- Departing EWR 7:00ish arriving in MCO at 10am. 2/14- Departing MCO 6:00pm.....Their flights cost 230something......

Just waiting for Wendy and Derek to book their airfares...today flight were in the mid-400 range for R/T.

ADR countdown
Our window opens on Tuesday, October 27th at 3am or 4am PST depending on which method we use....

Here are Wendy/Dereks' tentative ADRs:
Sunday, 2/7-6pm The Wave (never been)
Mon, 2/8-7:15pm Coral Reef (last visit for them: 1996)
Tues, 2/9-None
Wed, 2/10-Noon Prime Time Cafe (tradition), 7:00pm Ohana (never been)
Thur, 2/11-6:00pm Chef Mickey's (never been)
Fri, 2/12-6:00pm California Grill (been 3-4 times)
Sat, 2/13-7:00pm Teppan Edo (tradition)

I think it's a good mix of new restaurants and ones they know they'll like.

Kim and Allan's ADRs
Sun, 2/7-the Wave
mon, 2/8-Coral Reef
Tues, 2/9-None
Wed, 2/10-Noon Prime Time, 7pm Ohana (maybe switch out)
Thurs, 2/11-Date night Jiko?Chefs? Kouzzina?
Fri, 2/12-6pm Ca Grill
Sat, 2/13-7pm Teppan Edo

Almost all TS meals will be with Wendy and family.Kim and Allan will probably switch out Chef Mickey's and have a Valentine's Dinner somewhere nice. I've also volunteered to 2 extra CS meals I have so they could add 1 more TS if they wanted or make another one a 2 TS meal....

Jordan's ADRs
2/10-Prime Time
2/13-Teppan Edo

I will only have 2 TS meals with the rest of the folks.These 2 will be OOP as I will be on the QSDP not the DDP at this point. For the 4 night solo portion here are my tentative ADRs right now on the DDP:

2/15-Jiko
2/16-Kouzzina
2/17-Lunch-Sanaa

2/17-Dinner-I am toying with one more TS and paying OOP for this as Jiko is 2TS.........It's a free night for me so I could really eat anywhere......

Here's my short list:
Boma (completing the AKL/V Trifecta)
Rose and Crown
Le Cellier
Chefs de France
Flying Fish
Raglan Road
Kona Cafe

Not sure if this is a done deal. I have a week to think about it....

I'll post my revised itinerary shortly.

edit to add:

I only changed the last 2 full days of my itinerary. Something wasn't quite right and I couldn't figure it out. Then switched some parks around and I left the last night open so I could have the option of going to the park I felt most drawn to. That might be decided for me IF I decide to book and TS ADR for that night, but I can always cancel and just do CS as well...Here's the original version of the last 2 days:

The old version while having me be able to sleep in on Tuesday had me going to Epcot on an EMH during President's Week. Probably a mistake. It is probably smarter to Epcot the next day. It's also probably smarter to do DHS on Tuesday morning, the day after the DHS Evening EMH.....

Hmmm, we are playing the I Never Game!

Let's see, I have never:

had a Grey Goose Slushie

been on Mission:Space

eaten at Le Cellier

eaten at the castle

There are tons more they are just not coming to me at the moment!

1) soooo good on a hot day. be sure you try it on your next visit!

2) I can understand why people don't go on this if they are motion sensitive.

3) Sacrilege--although I haven't eaten there since 2001 or 2002 myself.

4) It was better when there was an option to eat at CRT w/o characters....

 

[All7OfUs]

10, 9, 8, 7.... You're almost there. I do hope you get your last one nailed down before too long, but your choices look fab. If it were me, which it's not, I'd go with Boma. But that's just me, which it's not.

Chihuahuas are ummmm... interesting, but will forever be assos. with Taco Bell for me. Forever! That was a high school/ college days sort of thing.

It's the obvious choice for me because it's right there at AKL/V...we'll see.

I could see in a smaller apartment with no yard how a smaller dog would be better.....I wouldn't get one, but I am more understanding of it now...

 

[winkers]

she kinda has that the lights are on but no one's home look....bless her heart.



I can barely keep track of my own schedule...I have no idea how you keep track of 3!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I think the revised itinerary looks really good. Are you happier with it?

I think any of those options for your ADR to be decided sound really yummy. It would be neat to complete the AKL Trifecta since you are staying there.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, Chanel looks like such a cutie! We have never had a small dog -- all of our dogs weigh more than our children.

Your ADRs and itinerary look good -- no matter which ADRs you decide to go with, they all look delicious!

 

[glennbo123]

Glad to see that Sanaa has made the cut.....so far.

Another vote for Boma.
