"I want Chinese food." She immediately quipped.
I should have known. She loves Chinese food.
I totally gave up.
I threw in the towel.
I whipped out my iPod, right there in the middle of the ride,
Googled the nearest Chinese restaurant and placed an order.
For delivery.
You actually had me going until this point. I was trying to rationalize it, thinking that maybe Kay was just having fun trying to get your goat. (I didn't even know if you had a goat, or what use one would make of said goat while at Disney World. It would be kind of inconvenient to have to drag that goat around. Well, unless you had a sudden fancy for goat cheese...)
Anyway, the light finally dawned. It's we, your devoted readers, harem members, amateur comedians and what not, who have the goat. And you almost got it.
Kay had some Shi Jo King and I had the Hai Am Ki Ding
Not being one of the amateur comedians, I totally failed to get this the first time and only figured it out when I was gathering quotes!
At least I didn't google those "dishes!"
I went to the third place and they just handed over two containers, gratis.
Which is really what should've happened in the first place, no?
When we left the hotel that morning, I disassembled the cartons,
packed chopsticks and flattened cartons in my camera bag,
and reassembled them while in line for Splash.
This was an incredible amount of work, but worth it because the pic was PERFECT. I'd hate to see how mine would turn out if I ever tried it. No doubt DS would nail the pose, but I'd be gazing off into space with my container upside down and the chopsticks stuck in my cleavage.
This is why I do not allow anyone to photograph me.
I just love this ride.
But it's not the flying over Neverland that does it for me,
(or never-never land, right
@jandlinz ?)
It's trundling down the track and then.... Airborne! Flying!
It's flying over London.
If the ride had just those two elements....
Well, it'd be a pretty darned short ride.
I couldn't agree more, it's a dazzling ride. Simple and beautiful. I never fail to get the shivers when we start to fly. Have you ever had the CM sprinkle your pirate ship with pixie dust just before you take off?
I had read about it but never seen it done until my recent visit for
MNSSHP. You aren't rewarded by these little extra touches of magic at Six Flags, you know?
We survived. Unscathed.
My God, we are brave people.
Are you not in awe??
Bonus points if you say you are.
Be superfluous with your praise.
I...I...I just can't.
I LOVE IASW.
I love all the dolls.
I even love the song.
And DS, who I'm pretty sure doesn't really love anything about it, rides it with me every single time. BUT I have a reason for loving it so much. See, I rode IASW at the NY World's Fair in both 1964 and 1965 and it's a cherished memory of my youth. I also saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium, which was right next to the Fair, but that's a whole 'nother story!!
The queue moved at a steady pace and I snapped pics along the way.
So, since you've
never seen the HM queue before...
And since it's my favourite ride in all of Disney...
You're gonna see 'em.
Y'know, I like the stuff in the queue, sort of, but I don't like how it's all jammed together in one small spot. It's too loud and crowded, and I usually just zip right through everything and park myself in front of Madam Leota until the doors open. HER, I love!
Kay quickly piped up in my ear, "Dad jokes for the dead."
And there's your proof that she really secretly enjoys Dad jokes. And not only that, but for a Kid joke it's a good one!
Be Our Guest!
"Hey! Wait a second! You said you didn't get an ADR for BOG!
What gives?!? We want our money back!"
Wait, what? People actually paid you mon--why OF COURSE we did! How could I forget??? I mean, poor little Johnny had to go without new shoes just so I could pay the entry fee. So when can I expect my $120 back? Winter is coming, and poor little Johnny's tiny feet don't stay very warm in just his threadbare socks...
He's an ugly little critter, isn't he?
And yet... if you look at him, you sort of pity him a little, don't you?
But enough about me. Moving on with our story...
I don't know how this is gonna post but as I'm writing this all of your quotes are black except for this one, which retained your signature bold blue. Ah, technology.
Anyway, what I meant to say was that the only time we ate at BOG, DS and I decided that this particular gargoyle looks a lot like the actor Michael Rooker (Merle Dixon from the Walking Dead, Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy.) You on the other hand don't look like anybody special. I mean, anybody IN PARTICULAR.
n some ways, the scenery's changed a lot, in others, not so much.
I have no idea why I captured this quote. So, umm, yes, I agree?
Well I'll be darned.
I actually had fun on it and didn't feel even a little woozy.
Kay says it's because you have to keep your eyes inside the cup and not look outside.
She may be right, since I was concentrating on her and the wheel the whole time.
Either way, although I really didn't want to ride it,
it turned out to be one of my favourite moments.
I haven't ridden the tea cups since DS was a little guy--1st grade, maybe. The CM put us in a cup with a couple of teenaged boys. I gave them The Mom Look (TM) and they refrained from spinning us at ludicrous speed. Afterwards I thanked them. I'm sure they thought they were being nice to the little kid, but of course I was the one who didn't want to go fast!
Ariel, being totally clueless, is very happy with her little statue.
The fish, being not dense, tell her it's actually an ornate flask,
but tell her it's filled with a magical wishing potion.
Of course it's actually filled with 80 proof vodka...
Well, at least they all lived happily ever after.
At least until he finds out that she drinks like a fish.
But that's another ride.
Best retelling of the Little Mermaid story ever. I'd give you a standing ovation but my laptop would fall to the floor and that would be bad. So, sitting ovation!!!
Feel free to change your guesses if you wish.
You may do so up to and including the August 25th update.
OK, I'm changing my guess. 48 minutes. And I'm thinking most of it was spent waiting for Magical Express to take you back to the airport.
Ah, there I am in the mediocre section. Story of my life!
Bonus questions, round 5!
What ride do we try to ride, but it's closed?
POTC.
What ride do we go on instead?
Jungle Cruise, since it's right next door.
Do we get a FP for Ariel? Or not?
Not.
We do have another meal, you know.
It's in MK and it's an ADR.
And it's not BOG!
So, where is it?
You had a big--what was it, brunch?--at BOG, so I'm thinking the Plaza for sandwiches, and because it's hotter than the surface of the sun.
Then again, no. Crystal Palace, because it's free dining!
We have a third ADR for later in the evening.
It's not in MK, or any park, or in DTD.
Guesses?
This I'm assuming is your DISMeet. I agree with everybody, it's gotta be Beaches and Cream.
Do we stay for Wishes? Or does our ADR prevent that?
Hmmm. It depends on what time your ADR was. I think you said it was a short meetup. Or possibly it's just the voices in my head that said that. And this was summer, so park hours were longer. 3 minus 2 plus 19, carry the 4--sure, you could make it back to MK in time for Wishes! You wouldn't have STAYED for them, of course, but--hmm, trick question?
Am I overthinking this?
Shut up.
No, your ADR did not prevent you from returning to MK for Wishes. SO THERE.
I hadn't been on the disboards for many months and my very first point of contact was your last report of which I finished up and was pleasantly surprised to see a new one started 
but somehow I think I will be a bit disappointed if I do as your spin on it seems far more entertaining.
Glad you liked it!
Well it is Disney, after all.
you to the new TR! 
When is it? November 3rd?
