We're on the same page. It was so quiet in there, it felt weird. Also weird to have my back to the people eating with me.

I actually didn't mind that part of it.
We used to (as kids) go to A&W where they'd bring your food out to the car
on a tray that hung on the window.
It was the best ever.
Wish they still did it.

Captain_Oblivious said:
I'd be more angry if I hadn't stolen plenty of material from everyone else!

Captain_Oblivious said:
I've never understood GMR. You see famous movie scenes re-created with animatronics, and then a guy hijacks your car for some reason or another, and then he gets killed off and your guide comes back because: movies, or something.

Succinct description of GMR.

Captain_Oblivious said:
Extra soapy?

I think so. You can manipulate soap bubbles if your hands are soapy.
I think maybe she had a bit of soap residue left on her hands.

Captain_Oblivious said:
I like it better. WL and AKL are my two favorite resorts because I think they're the best and most-transporting themes. They make me feel like I'm in an adventure. Animals off the balcony at AKL is just magic. GF, on the other hand, just feels like a snooty out-of-my-league hotel to me.

I see your point.

OH my a buttered dog! It sure sounds like the dog enjoyed being buttered up! :rotfl:

On to the trip report... Tell Kay her picture taking skills are great. I love all the detail by Toy Story. Sometimes you forget to look up. I'm kicking myself for not picking Prime Time. I had a feeling you were going to go there because you had such a nice DIS meet there last time :grouphug:

, but I was suckered in to thinking Kay would want to go to Sci-Fi. Your dinners look delish! So shocked you couldn't even sample the dessert, but they sure do give you a large portion to begin with. Your pb&j milkshake looks yummy. :goodvibes

Sounds like you got a great room location, minus the stairs. Based off your luck with buses, I'm going to change my answer to 101. I figured around 90, but going on a Disney theme I picked 101. Ok my guesses are:
Arrival at 9:45
FP SDMT, Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan
Lunch at The Plaza
Dear Sweet Kay takes you on IASW. You know my dd sang that song today for 15 minutes while I did her hair. One of my boys was begging her to STOP. I thought of you instantly. :love:

Oh, it's my oldest son's birthday today. :cloud9:

He's 9! Any bonus points for that?

Ready for Prime Time

I had the Peanut Butter & Jelly milkshake.
Heaven in a metal cup!
Kay, not being a fan of Jelly, (don't ask )
or peanut butter (don't ask ) had vanilla, I believe.

I'm not a jelly person either. I like my peanut butter unjellied. I do sometimes add a dab of butter to a peanut butter sandwich, though. People tell me this is crazy but I don't think there are too many things in this world that are not made better by adding butter. Of course, these days my everyday "butter" tends to be the more healthy fake stuff. This makes my occasional splurges involving real butter even better.

I'm going to stop saying butter and better now.

Our server wasn't overly in character, but I blame myself for that.
I would think that the servers have to gauge guest reactions
to see if their shtick is being received good naturedly or not.
We were both recovering from heat stroke
(did I mention that it was hot?)
so maybe we weren't as enthusiastic as we could have been.
Don't get me wrong, our server was very nice and all.
But I could've used a bit more sass!

I've always wondered how they decide when to bring the shtick and when to, errrrr, not. I'll probably never find out whether I'm a candidate for server hijinks, though, because my usual WDW partner (DS, 35) refuses to eat at 50s Prime Time. I know he would love the food, but the idea of being made to stand in the corner by Cousin Carl apparently terrifies him. And here's the odd thing about that--he's an actor!! Been doing it since high school. Has a degree in theater arts. Has worked in the field ever since, does local theater whenever he can. Has even appeared on stage in an off-Broadway show. But the idea of being taunted for not eating his vegetables is too horrible to contemplate.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Quick bonus point quiz opportunity!
Do either (or both) of those pictures make you salivate?

The fried chicken definitely made me drool, especially because I picked some up at the grocery store the other day to have for dinner during the NASCAR race, and it was awful. The breading tasted of nothing but pepper, and the meat was gray and stringy. I'm gonna assume Prime Time's version is somewhat better than that!!!!

How the heck do you do that without popping it?!?!?
I do have a theory, but I'll let you form your own.
Or just go with "She's magic!"
That works too.

It's a girl thing. We all can do it. We just never told you because we knew it would crush your dreams.

The lighting in that pic is absolutely gorgeous. My little point and shoot seldom captures a scene like this. One of these days I gotta get a better camera!

Every time I've been on this ride, I've had the same experience.
I know others have mentioned the "new stuff" and I assumed they meant
the part about being "the spy" or C3PO being the pilot.
We got the Darth Vader sequence! I had no idea that even existed!
We were so stoked!

I've seen all of the variations, but for some reason (and despite many, many rides) I haven't gotten the Naboo scene again since the first trip we made after the ride upgrade. Anybody else have this issue, or is it just me?

Bonus questions, round 4!
Take a flyer on our park arrival time.
Did we make rope drop or not?

Nope.

Pick our three FPs! Nothing weird here, but there are a few options.

Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Buzz Lightyear.

I do have a lunch ADR in the park. Where is it?
(Reminder. I was already well within the ADR window when I booked.)

The Plaza.

What ride does Kay drag me onto against my will?
(I'm serious. I told her I didn't want to go, but she insisted.)

I'm gonna buck the current trend for IASW and say Dumbo!

Good luck!

Of course you haven't!

I do like pot roast. For some reason, I usually have it as a Culver's pot roast sandwich - I hardly ever get it anywhere else!

pkondz said:
She took some shots, because she's a smart cookie.

Those are some great detail shots!

pkondz said:
You've seen this before, but this is where it's from.

And now that I see it big, I can see the quote on your shirt - looks like Not all those who wander are lost. One of my friends has that as her fb avatar right now (not the t-shirt, but the quote). Love me some LOTR quotes.

pkondz said:
No black, so she picked purple.

Good taste. I would've picked purple, too.

irene_dsc - DHS, Sci Fi, 60s, lake view, top floor- 6 points

9:30 - Kay tried to get up early, but that's as early as she gets on vacation. No rope drop.

FP: Peter Pan, BTMRR, Seven Dwarves
Lunch: LTT
Ride Kay drags you on against your will: Space Mountain. Hopefully it didn't kill your back.

I also forgot to go back and quote the Calvin & Hobbes strips! The first two were so funny, I had to read them out loud to dh and dd. Then she went and got our one book out. I miss them, too.

MAGICFOR2 · Oct 12, 2015

Awesome end to your day! I was proud of my super sleuth abilities. I noticed you were wearing the same clothes that day as your cover photo on RNRC. And I knew prime time because peanut butter. I like DHS without the hat! It always seemed in the way and out of place to me. Love how Kay is learning to like all the best rides :thumbsup2

I will be back with my guesses

Gracefulskinny · Oct 12, 2015

pkondz said:
Yes please!

Okay, So this was back either as a senior in high school or early college years. My good friends and I were involved in an elaborate Christmas play at our church ( Jodi and Ray Benson starred in it. THAT kinda elaborate) It was nearing Christmas, we all were slammed with work with Finals coming, we had finished a super late rehearsal for our christmas show and had another rehearsal in the morning so I just slept over with them. Whatever the motivation was we found ourselves craving some chocolate cake (probably stress eating popcorn::

LOL

) and had decided to bake a chocolate lava cake. Somewhere in my overworked brain wires crossed and I got the concepts of MELTING butter and SOFTENING butter crossed. Friend one read off the box that we needed 1/2 cup melted butter. In my fit of brilliance I confidently told them that the microwave would be a waste of time and slapped the stick (Still in wrapper and all) down on to the glass stove top and proceeded to look for the nob to turn on the burner.

Both friends look at me like I'm crazy and said, " Well, that's one way to do it I guess but we usually use a sauce pan dear."

After a few minutes of going back and forth I relented still confident that I had the better way.

It was only once they pulled the butter out of the microwave melted that it dawned on me why they had thought I had lost it! :rotfl2:

(And yes I still hear about it from time to time! :rolleyes2

)

I plead exhaustion!!!!

queenbetsey · Oct 12, 2015

[Oh, goodness no. That would be innapropriate.
I believe all I did was a very modest
stiking my finger in her face and yelling: "You suck! I kicked your butt!!"

See? Subtlety is all.
see I usually just dance around them and sing "I won, won iwoniwoniwonnnnnnnn

:goodvibes

:

Hmmm... well if it was me, I'd just put them on photobucket.
But that's me.

gonna try that tomorrow, we use the tablet for most pics now so we can upload them to fb gonna try to figure my way around pbucket again

"Look honey! Food! Good! Yum! Eat!"
going to email them to him along with pics of grey goose slushies, and peanutbutter chocolate cupcakes from starring rolls over and over and over until he cracks er uh decides we need to head back "home" to wdw

::yes::

You too! :goodvibes

pkondz said:

I fear I may be jeopardizing my chance at free points here but... nope. I've had the chicken and I know it's pretty good but neither make me drool.

pkondz said:
Kay took a swipe at one that was floating nearby...
and cut it in half!
How the heck do you do that without popping it?!?!?
I do have a theory, but I'll let you form your own.
Or just go with "She's magic!"
That works too.

Disney magic + Kay magic = duplicating bubbles

pkondz said:
Although, the next day you wonder why your arm is sore.
And then you remember... "oooohhhhh...."
We all do it.

pkondz said:
On the way we grabbed some frozen lemonades.
Someone here... or possibly someones mentioned these.
Wow! Were they ever a blessing on a hot day!
Have I mentioned that it was hot? Cause it was. Hot

We love frozen lemonade! We always get some in AK and often in DHS (because that is the second hottest park).

pkondz said:
The child behind me is trying to poop.
Just thought you'd like to know.

pkondz said:
"Hi! My daughter's thighs are chafing. Do you have any body glide or similar?"
When in need, your kids are always available to be thrown under the bus.

Or your wife... at least that's what my husband does :rolleyes2

pkondz said:
They give us one measly bottle of shampoo...
and it's not even shampoo???

(And this is what I think happened.
Some little kid was playing in the tub and pretended
that bottle was a submarine or something. Then put it back.)

So you're saying that they don't replace those in between guests??? What if someone dropped it...
.... what if the kid wasn't playing submarine in the tub???

No to rope drop... but I'll say you get in just after at around 9:30am
For FP: Big Thunder, Splash, 7DMT
ADR: BoG
Ride that Kay makes you suffer through: IASM seems the obvious choice but I'm going to go a slightly different direction and say Mad Tea Party

Mrs T 2009 said:
YUM! Those meal photos look so so good!!! Now I really need to try 50s Prime Time next time I'm in wdw!

I can most definitely recommend it!

Mrs T 2009 said:
UGH! It's getting so cold here in OH, I felt like a frozen goat last week, then it got warm again! YAY!

I feel your pain. A couple of days ago it was 24C/75F, but today it's only 2C/35F.

Mrs T 2009 said:
BUT, tomorrow it's supposed to get cold again

It did!

Mrs T 2009 said:
Thanks for the extra dad points!

You earned 'em!

Mrs T 2009 said:
-I'm going to guess you do not make rope drop, but get there about 30 minutes after rope drop...

-7D Mine Train, Space Mountain, and Little Mermaid

-Be Our Guest!!!

-It's A Small World? ( I understand why people don't like it, but I am weird and have to go on it at least one time.. A trip just isn't complete until that ride has been ridden!)

Curiouser&curiouser! said:
What a great day!

It was! Long, though... but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Curiouser&curiouser! said:
Dinner looked delicious! We actually have never made it over to Sci Fi to eat because we always want to go back to 50's Prime Time!

I hear you.
I doubt I'll go back to Sci Fi unless they drastically change their menu and servers' style.

Curiouser&curiouser! said:
And both those meals definitely made me salivate! Cooking dinner tonight at home is going to be very disappointing!

When you wrote that, I would've agreed.... except last night was Thanksgiving and, well...

Curiouser&curiouser! said:
I love that Kay loved Fantasmic! When I dragged my sister along with me for her first trip (at the young age of 24!), she had a good time and all, but I *knew* I had a convert at Fantasmic!. How do I put this? Shall we say that she's 'not in the traditional Disney demographic', but when Mickey first appeared at the beginning of the show she pointed and yelled 'Mickey!". I knew I had her right then. Welcome to my side of the fence, honey.

That's awesome! I had to go back and check her age. 24! And yelling "Mickey!"

Curiouser&curiouser! said:
Okay. . . Time to make some very illogical (and inaccurate) guesses:
I am thinking that yes, you do make rope drop. But just barely. I don't think you will be there BEFORE rope drop, but I think you are going to be arriving as the rope is dropped and the masses head in, which counts as rope drop in my book.
For Fastpasses, I am going with Space, 7DMT, and Haunted Mansion.
I think your ADR is for Tony's.
And I think Kay is going to drag you onto Small World.

They were! Although I think hers was better than mine.

jandlinz said:
So shocked you couldn't even sample the dessert, but they sure do give you a large portion to begin with.

Yeah, that was the problem.
And I don't want to just nibble at my meal just so I can have dessert.
Besides, the shake was kind of dessert, right?

Right?

No?

Your pb&j milkshake looks yummy.

Yummy? Yummy????

That word is inadequate to describe that heavenly concoction.

jandlinz said:
Sounds like you got a great room location, minus the stairs.

I'll admit, that if it had to be top floor, it was the best room location on property
as far as convenience goes.
If you want a view of the lake, not so much.
But I wanted convenience, not view, so I was pretty pleased with it.

Tell him to act annoyed or angry. They'll let him eat in peace.

And then afterwards he'll complain because the server didn't "play" with him!

Both friends look at me like I'm crazy and said, " Well, that's one way to do it I guess but we usually use a sauce pan dear."

Well... um... if the wrapper can hold liquids... :rolleyes1

It was only once they pulled the butter out of the microwave melted that it dawned on me why they had thought I had lost it!

Well, at least it did eventually dawn on you!

(And yes I still hear about it from time to time!)

As you should. Thanks for being a good sport about it! :thumbsup2

Quick bonus point quiz opportunity!
Do either (or both) of those pictures make you salivate?

BOTH!! Bonus points please! I'll take heaps if you got em!

Take a flyer on our park arrival time.
Did we make rope drop or not?
I'm going to say Kay surprises you and you enjoy a nice rope drop!

Pick our three FPs! Nothing weird here, but there are a few options.
BTMR, Buzz Lightyear, HM

I do have a lunch ADR in the park. Where is it?
(Reminder. I was already well within the ADR window when I booked.)
Crystal Palace

What ride does Kay drag me onto against my will?
(I'm serious. I told her I didn't want to go, but she insisted.)
IASMW

Also I am sorry for not replying to the last message, I have been super busy with work(DISNEY STORE) and planning for trip while studying for midterms.

Say what??? This sounds like another story!

My part was teeny tiny and I was more stagehand then performer. But yeah... Standing off to the side of the stage waiting for my turn to go on watching Jodi Benson and hearing ARIEL's voice come out of her mouth. It was a magic that can only be understood of you have experienced it yourself.

Oh my, I missed the last round...I read it but I just couldn't get over the title...I was sure it was Kay's new nickname for you...I thought if I said that though, I would lose any points I might have gained by guessing so I figure I came out ahead!

By the way, I've never had pot roast but the chicken did make me drool just a tad...in a ladylike way of course!

I'm curious if I get a prize for having the worst guess when it comes to transportation....

Bonus questions, round 4!

I say you made rope drop

Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder, Space Mountain

That's probably a trick question and you got an ADR for Be our Guest but I'll ignore the red herring and go for Tony's

I can't imagine your loving daughter making you go on "that" ride so...I say the carousel

I remember a couple of years back, all I wanted to do was to go on HM, but Monkston wanted to do Small World (since it's on the way there), so I grabbed two napkins from the nearest turkey leg cart, and shoved them in my ears. There is no escaping, it.
