Bowling, anyone?

[UrsulasShadow]

It's too bad the bowling lanes were postponed. It would definitely be the only thing to drag me to the Wide World of Sports.

Of course, they probably wouldn't even have REAL bowling there...only those really big balls, which is lazy man's bowling. Give me candlepin anytime.

They just opened a Lucky Strike Bowling Lane in Midtown. It's cool because there are drinks at the bar available and waitress service that comes to your lane to deliver your drinks. A dj spins music ...It's a fun night out..but i highly doubt that this is what disney has in mind for their bowling alley...however I think it's right up your alley Mindy

My luck...the DJ would be an ABBA fan...

Dare I call candle pin and duck pin bowling the same?

I love bowling. I can't wait for it to open. I am a fan of the big pins and balls.

You may...but you'd be WRONG.
This is CANDLEPIN

This is DUCKPIN

Thanks. I was trying to figure out the "candle pin" thing. A descritption is nice, but a picture(s) is worth a thousand words.

Actually, Aaron... In November 2008, a picture is only worth about 240 words... But I'm in it for the long term...

I honestly had no idea candlepin bowling even existed. It looks pretty cool!

Candlepin bowling has been around for longer than either duckpin or that poser, ten-pin. It's a whole lot more challenging, too!

I think our next New England Meet should be bowling!! Candlepin of course!!

 

[figment3258]

count us in for that! That would be fantastic. Its a funny thing. i live in Northbridge and we have a candle pin alley down the road and on the same street is a store called the welcoming lantern. I went in there after bowling to buy light bulbs and the clerk and owner noticed my figment sweatshirt and asked if I had just come back from Disney. Well its turns out that he is a huge Disney fan as well and i spent 45 mins just talking Disney. it was a wonderful day.

A little off topic sorry.

Anyways if you want to go bowling we can get a great rate at the alley we go to.

Bowling is my 2nd favorite pasttime after the mouse. I bowl in 2 leagues a week so I am quite busy with bowling. I was really excited when I 1st heard about the bowling lanes coming to WDW.

Heck last night I even figured out how to record an MP3 to send in to the podcast team regarding the bowling lanes and today I hear the info on the podcast - I said " well - there goes my questions "

Oh well - the idea was cool while it lasted but at least I figured out how to record an MP3 and send it in to the podcast team

 

[BilltM]

I'm in!

Okay I'll put it in print. I have my own "balls", somewhere ... and there are three!

I bowled in leagues in the past (like high school and before). Candlepin is probably bigger here in the Northeast than anywhere. I usually watched Don Gillis (sp) on Saturday from Sammie White's Brighton Bowl (near Boston).

Love the 7-10 split

Candlepin rules Mindy.

 

[UrsulasShadow]

Hmmm, I have 4 balls...and my own shoes. Top that!

 

[djlexus]
