Bonus questions, round 3!
What park are we going to? (This should be an easy one... if you've read my last TR.)
Where's our ADR?
We get a new room! Where is it?
(Partial points for Which building, Which side, Which floor (you got a hint on that one)
example 50s, Lake view, 3rd floor)
Um, I really don't remember, but the group consensus seems to be DHS, so I'll go with that. And Sci-fi, since you've said repeatedly this is not *your* trip. I could be wrong, but that's just my guess.
And...60's, lake view, top floor...because of course, you had to keep going up and down all those stairs!

I'm going to guess HS along with several other folks (although my gut tells me to say EPCOT cause it is my favorite park as well as yours I believe) and because you enjoyed your time there so much last time you went back to 50's Primetime to be belittled.
As far as room, they upgraded you to that room at the Grand Floridian!! Nah just kidding, that would be amazing if they did though. My real guess is 50's building, pool view, top floor.
Though after reading Dinotrux by Chris Gall (over and over and over and over to my boys) I kind of believe that theory for extinction as well. So I might not be the most reliable resource.
It would kill me to get into a long line like that when I could hop into the Single Rider, but I completely understand what Kay means. It's not as fun alone. There is something to be said for enjoying the time together- even if it isn't necessarily optimizing every minute attraction wise, I do feel like it optimizes every minute bonding wise. Sometimes those moments end up being some of my favorites from the trip!
Okay . . . For my guesses.
I think you are going to Epcot (I have no reason to base this, as even though I read your last report, I can't remember nearly any of it. I should have that checked. . . ) You are going to eat at Via Napoli (because I am craving their pizza right now). And your room will be in the 50's section, with a pool view, and on the 3rd floor.

Now, I know there’s a “Frozen” reindeer. That’d be Sven. But I wasn’t aware of the “Frozen” goat. Could that be Ollie? No… too close to Olaf; it must be named Ingmar than.
"He is Ollie, you are Sven…"
Dang shame I couldn’t find a vid of them singing “I Love My Vilma” (but I did try)
Oh, wait!
It’s actually called “Ey Yi Yi Wilma”, and I did find it… here…
(but the video that goes with it is a completely bazar collection of things – so you were warned)
I told Kay that I was going to head down to the food court
to grab us some mugs.
Since we had the free dining plan, mugs were included.
Nice little extra perk right there.
That's a $783.95 savings right there!
If that were to become a bonus question, I’d be voting that she chooses black.
(well, that’s what I’d pick – assuming it was an available option of course)
I like the analogy, but…
Maybe more like a brand new Yugo. Still unreliable, still surprised when it works, and…
you’ve still got to make all the payments.
1. As the dinosaurs evolved, their societal conventions developed.
They eventually learned self-organizing relationships and recreational activities.
And considering how long it took to get from outside this building,
where the combined heat and humidity caused me to leak from every
conceivable pore, to the interior where the air conditioning saved my life...
I'm quite convinced that Dinosaurs may have become extinct
by standing in line in the heat until they died.
2. Again, the dinosaurs evolved. They had millennia to do so.
Is it really so hard to believe that given vastly more time,
they evolved societies to parallel our own?
The alphabet, writing, records, internet, cell phones.
I'm pretty sure that it's possible that while updating Facebook
and posting dino-selfies ("Look! A raptor's biting my leg! Isn't that cool?")
they became so involved that they began to die off by walking off of cliffs,
or in front of dino-busses, etc.
Yes, they're theories. But they're scientifically sound ones.
“This and that” always needs to be chatted about. Cool that you got to meet up.
Good choice on the local as well. That’s some of the best QS dinning on World.
Oh, just a little jaunt over to Forbidden Mountain. (I’d tell you that you’ll never make it to Everest, but that might be interpreted as a bit of a spoiler).
Hummmm… I’m trying to think…
Ya’ know what? I believe that it’s just possible that you did.
Now, I’ can’t be positively certain of it, but there is this slight chance that you just might…
Might, mind you… have said something about it at some point in the past.
Got that one at least (good thing I didn’t go with the frozen goatcicle on a stick over the more traditional chocolate covered ice-cream Mickey head on a stick)
She figured it would be nice to sit and enjoy our snacks.
And she was right.
It was a very nice little interlude.
Have I mentioned that she's smarter than her dumb ol' man?
Hummmmm… well if I got the park right, I’m thinkin’ Kay might see the SciFi Diner as a bit of a hoot…
and as such, Daddy would surely be accommodating, so we’ll be going with that one.
We get a new room! Where is it?
(Partial points for Which building, Which side, Which floor (you got a hint on that one)

Well, you’re in a “preferred” room now (which should limit where they might move you and rule out the 80s, 90s, half the 70’s, 2/3 of the 50s and most of the water views). I suspect that y’all started off in Building-5 as well (and just as a wild guess, it’s possible that you may just have been in room 5403 or maybe 5405, but that’s just a 2-in-144 hunch there). I also suspect that they aren’t going to move y’all very far if they don’t have to. So with all that pointless nonsense as my bases of purely scientific recollection (and a useful smoke screen while in actuality I was merely throwing random darts at an inverted map of Pop Century printed up in 2001), let’s just say that…
y’all remain on the top floor, still in the 60’s (probably building-5) and still overlooking the pools.
(now to wait and see just how spectacularly wrong I am.)
Ah, yes. The cot.
I actually slept quite well on it, thank you CM who sent it.
And the reason my alarm didn't go off is because it was 8:44am.
I had set it for 9:00.
I zipped down the stairs,
(of course I did. It's my first day at Disney! Energy to spare!)
And skipped over to the food court.
(Don't judge. I was happy, okay?)
Nope!
Nope. Nope. Nope.... nope!
I do not stand in line for nearly an hour.
Heck, I don't stand in line for half an hour!
That's why I do rope drop.
That's why I make FPs.
That's why I do single rider lines.
"Okay, Kay. It's gonna be about an hour in line.
But we can do single rider line at EE."
"But I want to ride this one. I don't care if we have to wait."
The CM motioned to the line.
The man entered the line and stopped.
"I can't navigate this! Don't you have some place for handicapped people?"
"Sir, there's room in this line."
"There's no way I can manoeuver through there!"
He then made a very nifty three point turn and exited the queue.
"It's unbelievable that Disney won't accommodate the handicapped!" He declared.
And then he scooted off in search of a ride with a more easily cowed CM.

When we exited the ride, she began to speak excitedly.
"That was fun! That wasn't at all like I remembered it!
I was really scared at first! But it was fun! I wasn't scared at all!
I really liked it!"
(And she meant it. It became her #4 favourite ride.)
so we ordered the Ribs & Chicken combo and the Jerk Chicken Salad.
For dessert (free dining!) we got the Lime mousse and Chocolate mousse.
Everything was good, too!
We were pleasantly stuffed by the end of our meal.
Remember the chafing? So did she.
But she came prepared!
She liberally applied some baby powder to the affected area.
Not sure how, exactly.
Was it a squeeze bottle? Did she fan it towards the appropriate location?
I don't know.
All we saw was a burst of baby powder come shooting out between her legs.
Now how shall I put this...
One must be delicate, yet descriptive.
Respectful, yet informative.
It looked like she was farting puffy clouds.
I was really hoping to see a rainbow between her knees.
(Don't let her expression fool you. She's a teen, gotta look cool.
But when the camera was gone, she was gushing about it non-stop.
And why is she not sweating? I was a mess and she still looks beautiful!)
Uh... okay. Want a scratch there, fella?
<scratch> <scratch>
No movement from the goat.
Maybe a pat?
<pat> <pat>
Nothing.
Um... gotta get going there, big guy.
I gave him a little nudge with my knees.
Nothing. Didn't budge a bit.
Kay took another pic but unfortunately accidentally deleted it.
But it would've looked like I'd photoshopped myself out of the picture.
That goat still hadn't moved!
We left the immobilized goat and moved on.
We laughed about the frozen goat for the rest of the day.
Indeed, even after the trip.
Heck if you mention it, you might even get a bonus point or two.

Well, whenever you're in my neighborhood, let me know and then you can "come and knock on my door." ( most should get that reference, not showing me age with that, though since it was before my time.)
That meant that I had to bring our passports with us.
Not a big deal, I just stuffed them in my camera bag.
Had to bring my wallet, too. Don't usually, but...

What park are we going to? (This should be an easy one... if you've read my last TR.)
Where's our ADR?

Next park - Epcot because you ( and Kay) love the Japan pavilion
ADR - Teppan Edo, might as well stay with the Japan theme
New room- 60's, pool view, 3rd floor
I am so, so disappointed. T-Rexs had little arms? Couldn't take selfies?
Why do you think selfie sticks were invented????
Just for these circumstances of course!
As a matter of fact, back in the day they were called Rexie sticks.
(Still.... that was clever of you to think of that. )
Rexie sticks would have worked! Except they only had two fingers on each hand. It would have been hard to hold the stick. Let's just assume they evolved more fingers and opposable thumbs. It could have happened. We just haven't seen the fossil evidence of it... yet...
I wish! No, I didn't.
If I'd had some warning that it was going to happen,
maybe I could've. But I sure wasn't expecting that!!!
Maybe just bring a film crew with you next time.. that way you won't miss anything. Your trip report could be a series of half hour videos on youtube.
Never thought of it that way... but, yeah.
That does make it worth it.
Especially now as I'm sitting here in my environmentally controlled setting.
Just think of it as 45 minutes of waiting for a picture you'll love forever. (Don't feel bad, we waited 2 hrs for pictures with Jack and Sally at the halloween party It was on our list so we didn't have a choice)
I want to be one of those people passing by the poor slobs in line!
Definitely... I've gotten so used to never waiting that it stresses me out to get into a standby line.
Sneaking in here and going with EPCOT; I think it's your favorite park. And I think you chose to hit up Teppan Edo because it's showy and ecclectic as I imagine Kay kinda being. If I recall she's REALLY into anime, right? (In a good way!)

My guesses for bonus questions:
So I read the hint that I should go back to day one of your previous trip. If I hadn't done that my answers would have been very different. I would have guessed EPCOT for your park since it has the best restaurants of all 4 parks. MK for BOG would have been an option too but I don't think you planned your trip far enough in advance to get that. I would have said Tutto Italia in Epcot. Great food and value on free dining.
Since I read what you did previously, my guesses are now The Studios for 50's Prime Time.
I know nothing about POP (seeing as I said 3rd floor thinking it was the top floor last time). I'll still say top floor and 80's pool view (if that exists).
