She ate it ALL!!! She never does that.

She ended up being too tired the night that she had planned to ride Splash. So, I was able to avoid having to find a crematorium in Orlando so that I could avoid paying the charge to ship her body back after the heart attack she would have had. This is the same woman who won't ride Peter Pan because of the flying sensation and avoids Soarin' like the plague. *sigh* I'll give her points for wanting to give it a go though.

The Filet from The Eiffel Tower that Deb said was better than La Celliar's

no offense to the Eiffel Tower, but that looks like a piece of charcoal with some butter on top

We did the Undiscovered Future World tour with Robert. Enjoyable. Being a Disney junkie, I knew a lot of what he talked about, but it was a fun tour and we saw some interesting backstage stuff. Like the Princesses' makeup room (saw Tink, Belle and Alice putting on their faces). Saw Jasmine all prettied up, but in a t-shirt and jeans. It was kind of a shock. There were only 6 of us on this tour.

Where's the mushroom risotto?

That was $30 more!

We did the Keys to the Kingdom tour with Debbie. Also really enjoyable. I heard a lot more "new" stuff on this tour. There were 19 guests on this tour and there were at least 3 tours running that I know of. Debbie's favorite ride is Pirates, so she had lots of great info on the ride and includes it on her tour, even though it's not officially part of the tour. She commandeered us a boat and all 20 of us squeezed in and set that boat pretty far down in the water.

where'd the charcoal go?

Also did the Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party. We had a great table right up front. People stood at the rail, but as long as they were only one layer deep, we could see everything. I had ruled it out for our September trip, but now I'm thinking I may add it back again for the guys. Not sure.

We stayed at Star Island Resort and had to have them move us to a new room on the second night. We found two BIG spiders the first night (in just an hour or so of being in the room) and asked them to spray the next day. When we came back the next night (after 11pm) there was another big spider, two large black earwig looking things and something jumping around the carpet that I couldn't identify. The new room had four dead earwig looking things and two live ones. But, that was over five days, not five hours, so I dealt with it. Otherwise the suites were nice enough, but need some updating. The use of mirror paneling in the bedroom was kinda creepy. But, that was mostly just when I caught my reflection. You, literally, couldn't turn around in this room without catching a glimpse of yourself somewhere.

how much was the filet?

 

[DizDragonfly]

All in all, it was a good trip. Very different from the trip I'll be taking with the boys.

 

[W@LL-E]

 

[DizDragonfly]

Yeah, between the reflections of myself and the spiders, I was a nervous wreck!
