~A XMAS STORY~decorations, crowds, pixies..AND A BLOODY NOSE~ACTUAL UPDATE 11/9 p190

[Charleston Princess]

We loved Sci-Fi and it's cheesy movie clips! You got some great photos of the inside!

 

[Megablocks]

That grown-up shake sounds really good; I'm going to have to attempt to recreate that at home sometime.

I was laughing so much at the picture of you and Ray as an old married couple. The picture of Luke being mesmerized is so cute!

 

[tinkgurl]

Oh Sci-Fi looks good!!

 

[Pakey]

Hi Dawn. I know, I know, I'm late as usual but I'm here now.

Sci Fi is a must do every time we take first timers. It's so Disney. And I learned a long time ago that those adult milk shakes are the best thing going there.

 

[kschafer]

Hmm, Sci-Fi has never really appealed much to me but your burger looks so good and the shake sounds delicious!!

Can't wait to hear all about Block Party...I love it!

 

[shannon47142]

love the Sci-Fi pictures--We went for the first time last summer and had a good time as well!

 

[heatherlizz602]

OK...I think I'm all caught. Great updates. I Love the picture of you and Anna on TOT. So funny.
I love the picture of Luke all mesmerized by the screen in Sci Fi. I will definitely be getting one of those shakes...in 2 years!!

 

[fterie4u]

Great report! you guys always do a great TR!!!

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

We love Sci Fi! It's a must do for lunch every time. I don't care for the dinner menu though. I think that may be the same woman we had too. Did she keep on and on about her kids at home? It go so bad I was annoyed. It's like she wanted us to tip her better so her babies would be taken care of. I was like O M G okay...I want to eat now. It's not like I tip better or worse because you have kids...geez...you earn the money I don't give a what or who you spend it on.

Luke looks mesmerized in all these pics. He liked it a lot didn't he?

The picture of the guys is funny. They look bored to tears. And the ones of you guys strangling one another....classic!

 

[lmillercrew]

Great update! It took me a while, but I'm caught up. (that's what happens when I don't read for a week) You've got me curious about the Killers. I'm going to have to watch the videos tomorrow. That lead singer is pretty dang cute!
Sherman is too cute on your pillow, and what a great story on how you got your first beagle. They are very cute dogs.
I'm going to check out the menu at Sci-Fi. That burger looked yummy!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Sci Fi looks so fun and that shake does sound delicious! Luke continues to be absolutely adorable!

 

[DisneyLaura]

will your older DS be able to watch the younger kids when you guys go so you can ride it together or is he not old enough yet?

i'd love to see a pic of your DD in that outfit!

You bet I'll post a picture of her in her dress! My kids will be 10, 8 and 4 when we go to WDW in November so I don't think I let him "watch" them while me and DH rode, maybe if he was 12 I would but my mom is supposed to be coming with us, she was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (I had said this on the Peep thread, don't know if you heard) so we have to see how she's feeling at that point to go.

 

[mansionterror]

our food came out pretty quickly. luke ordered pizza and it came with carrots and apple slices.

Another great update Dawn, Sci Fi looks like fun. I'll bet my DS would love it. Great pics as usual...I see a Hidden Mickey in the one above, did you (I don't mean Luke's plate, either)?

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

we should have stuck with the burgers when we went, our food was not that great, next time i will get a burger, minus your onions and mushrooms. yuk

 

[englishrose47]

We loved Sci Fi in2007 even though I din't care for my shrimp asta sota blah , I loved the appeteizer dip and the oreo cookie milkshake !! I am going oop in May for a burger (just likeyours ) and a mikshake !!! Great update Dawn!

 

[Philadisney]

Oh that shake looks fabulous!! I have only been to Sci-Fi once but I would go back for a shake in a heartbeat. I can't remember which one I had but it was wonderful. The light up glow cubes are so fun too, I save all mine and use them at home all the time.

 

[punkin413]

Glad you posted about sci-fi. Since the food is so-so, we'll probably stop for lunch instead of dinner. I just think the whole car thing would be cool for my kids.

And how long have you been married? Not too long, because you're strangling him. That happens between 5-10 years. I'f you're married as long as me, you'd be in the front seat and he'd be in the back!

oh, the food was better than so-so! it was good!!! you just have to stick to the basics, i think. your kids will love the car.

ray and i got married in april 2002, so this april will be 7 years. but we've been together since december 1993. so that's 15 years....almost half my life!

What fun photos you took at Sci-Fi!

We had a great time there too, when we went for lunch in January. Except guess what! Remember I asked you to check if the chocolate tart was still on the menu, and it was? Well, it was gone by the time we got there! Auuhhhh! We had a delicious peanut butter cake instead, but it was no chocolate tart...

Hehee, anyway. Thanks for another fun installment!

i can't believe they got rid of it!!!! i'm so sorry. i'm almost positive it was on there when we were there.

Glad that you had a positive experience at Sci-Fi! We too, had a good experience when we went there. But then again, we only had burgers and shakes. THOSE SHAKES you had sound like they were so good! I'm really thinking I might have to check those out next time!

yes, that shake was awesome!

Great review of Sci-Fi. I love the pictures of Luke just mesmerized by what is on the screen. Too cute!

thanks! he was so into the old movies!

Darling outfits, especially the dress. I love the Sci-Fi pictures. I am trying to see if we can fit it in this trip.

thanks! it's a cute place. your girls would like it! it's really good for lunch because it's a nice, dark, cool escape from the hot sun, especially in the summer! plus i think their lunch menu is way better than their dinner menu. i scheduled our lunch for around 1:00 so it would be good timing to sit and watch the block party afterwards at 3:00.

We loved Sci-Fi and it's cheesy movie clips! You got some great photos of the inside!

us too! i think it's just a neat little place. thanks!

That grown-up shake sounds really good; I'm going to have to attempt to recreate that at home sometime.

I was laughing so much at the picture of you and Ray as an old married couple. The picture of Luke being mesmerized is so cute!

oh, let me know if you recreate it and how it turns out! ray and i aren't much for PDAs so i felt that picture was appropriate! i love him but i like to show my affection in private.

Oh Sci-Fi looks good!!

it was!

Hi Dawn. I know, I know, I'm late as usual but I'm here now.

Sci Fi is a must do every time we take first timers. It's so Disney. And I learned a long time ago that those adult milk shakes are the best thing going there.

oh, i don't care if you're late - you're here and that's all that matters! thanks for joining in. i agree about going there for first-timers. anna, chris and especially luke thought this was so cool!

Hmm, Sci-Fi has never really appealed much to me but your burger looks so good and the shake sounds delicious!!

Can't wait to hear all about Block Party...I love it!

oh, your boys would LOVE sci-fi! the whole atmosphere is great for kids. they show horror movie clips but they're all really silly and not scary. and as long as you stick to burgers and shakes, you're good!

 

[MagicShell]

I enjoyed your report and photos of Sci-Fi. We ate there for the first time in December. I was really excited for my kids to eat there, but my son was scared of the clips! He put his head down the whole time and wouldn't even eat. I did notice how quiet it was in there. I liked that.

 

[punkin413]

love the Sci-Fi pictures--We went for the first time last summer and had a good time as well!

thanks! yeah, it's a great little place. glad you guys liked it!

OK...I think I'm all caught. Great updates. I Love the picture of you and Anna on TOT. So funny.

thanks! you sound like me....we're not going back until december 2010 and i'm counting the days!

Great report! you guys always do a great TR!!!

thanks so much!

ray and i went for dinner in may 2007 and i asked if we could get burgers because we didn't want what was on the dinner menu - they said that was fine. good to know in case you can't get a lunch ADR! our server didn't mention her kids that i heard, but i could be wrong. she was so focused on luke that i didn't hear everything she said since he was in the front and we were in the back. she did forget to bring me a glass of water so i just got my dasani water bottle out and was drinking it. she noticed and was soooooo apologetic that she forgot my water. i don't get frustrated by that kinda thing so i told her it wasn't a big deal. she brought me some more water anyway though!

yes, luke LOVED it! a few days after we got back i was over at anna's house and he goes, "dawn, i had fun at disney world. i loved that place with the cars."

as soon as anna took that picture with me, ray and chris in it she started laughing and goes, "look at our husbands!" they kill me.

Great update! It took me a while, but I'm caught up. (that's what happens when I don't read for a week) You've got me curious about the Killers. I'm going to have to watch the videos tomorrow. That lead singer is pretty dang cute!
Sherman is too cute on your pillow, and what a great story on how you got your first beagle. They are very cute dogs.
I'm going to check out the menu at Sci-Fi. That burger looked yummy!

thanks! yes, check out the killers! i bet you'd like them. brandon flowers is cute but very skinny. i hate those skinny jeans he wears but i know he's a rock star and he has to be fashionable. i think he'd look better in regular pants! but i have never liked those skinny jeans.....probably because you have to be SKINNY to wear them! thanks about sherman and eli - they are my babies! sci-fi was great and the burgers were delicious!

Sci Fi looks so fun and that shake does sound delicious! Luke continues to be absolutely adorable!

it was a blast! i will definitely be back.

You bet I'll post a picture of her in her dress! My kids will be 10, 8 and 4 when we go to WDW in November so I don't think I let him "watch" them while me and DH rode, maybe if he was 12 I would but my mom is supposed to be coming with us, she was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (I had said this on the Peep thread, don't know if you heard) so we have to see how she's feeling at that point to go.

oh, okay. yeah, i knew about your mom. hope she continues to improve. i didn't realize she was planning to go with you guys. that will be so fun!

Another great update Dawn, Sci Fi looks like fun. I'll bet my DS would love it. Great pics as usual...I see a Hidden Mickey in the one above, did you (I don't mean Luke's plate, either)?

thanks! i bet your DS would love it, too! i do see it i think! are you talking about the mickey on the metal side step thing next to luke?

we should have stuck with the burgers when we went, our food was not that great, next time i will get a burger, minus your onions and mushrooms. yuk

yeah, stick to the burgers and shakes. they were really good! you sound like ray - he doesn't like onions and mushrooms either. or tomatoes. or any kind of food that's actually GOOD for you.

We loved Sci Fi in2007 even though I din't care for my shrimp asta sota blah , I loved the appeteizer dip and the oreo cookie milkshake !! I am going oop in May for a burger (just likeyours ) and a mikshake !!! Great update Dawn!

i'm sure you'll enjoy a burger from there! thanks.

Oh that shake looks fabulous!! I have only been to Sci-Fi once but I would go back for a shake in a heartbeat. I can't remember which one I had but it was wonderful. The light up glow cubes are so fun too, I save all mine and use them at home all the time.

it was soooo good! i have 4 of those glow cubes in my cabinet and use them when i need a little dose of disney!

thanks! i thought about that with luke but he seemed to just be amazed by them, not scared at all. i think it just depends on the kid. we just kept saying stuff about them being silly movies when he'd ask about what he was watching. plus the little cartoons between the clips makes it a little more kid-friendly. sorry about your DS.
