Canadian Buffoon's Disney With a Teen Vacation - 08/13 - The Wrap

[pkondz]

Please clarify, two each. So we need to guess 4 different snack?
Thanks!

Just popping on for a second to clarify (already edited the post.)
Just pick 2 snacks.

 

[Steppesister]

"You're astonished". There I said it. Exactly as you asked. (Sorry, my smart donkey is rearing his hind legs tonight. Nights off do that.)

However, in case that's not what you were really aiming for, I'll play along (because I actually have a fighting chance at winning this gig):

I am utterly and amazingly stupefied (please do not confuse that with stupidfied)!!!!

1. How long until the next monorail?

5 minutes. Can I get a bonus point if it's the Purple Ship?

2. Where's our World Showcase ADR?
(Hint: It's been guessed at least once before.)

Teppan Edo. (PLEASE let me be right this time!)

3. We get some snacks in Epcot! Two of them, each.
What are they?
(ie: pick 2 snacks)

Churros and Cronuts

4. We do one ride in FW. Which one?

Soarin'

5. We see one character by happenstance. Any idea who?
(Major hint. Not a princess. But a face character.)

Prince Charming

 

[afwdwfan]

Yes. Yes I did.
I believe her comment afterwards was:
"Why would you do that?"
"Because it's funny." I replied.
And it is.

She'll learn.

I had no illusions that Kay would do laundry,
but I also knew that she'd break down just like Ruby did if I pushed her too hard.
So when she said she wanted to relax in the room, I listened.
Did this mean we stood in lines (something I typically never do)?
Yup. But she was content, so... it's all good.

Ok... at least there's a method to the madness. But I'd still have a hard time just sitting around waiting.

(Say you're astonished (feel free to paraphrase) and get free bonus points!)

Why paraphrase?

"you're astonished"

Sunday was always special in our house when I was growing up.
Mom was a teacher and Dad was always busy with work.
But on Sundays, Mom would always make sure to cook a special meal.
Mmmmm... I can still taste some of those...
Pot roast, roast chicken, prime rib once in a while...
And always dessert. Mmmmm.... dessert.

Mmmm... quite a menu. Now how long to I have to wait before I can go to lunch?

At the time, I remember thinking how wonderful it was
that they'd let me and my older sister eat away from the table.
Now, of course, being older and a parent myself,
I realize it was just their way of getting rid of their little hellions
so they could enjoy a nice meal with adult conversation.
But I digress...

Funny how time reveals information.

Quick as a wink, I'd grab the offending globule and pitch it under the couch.
Problem solved!
I didn't have to eat that... thing. And my parents didn't have to scold me.
Win, win!

My parents were downstairs watching TV.
My Mom says to my Dad. "What's that under the TV?"
At first they are puzzled.
A small, rock hard, misshapen, blackened ball.
I wonder what their faces looked like as realization dawned upon them.

Luckily, however. The fickle finger of fate intervened.
My parents thought it was hysterical.
They imagined the cat playing with the sprout.
And they imagined me trying to get away with it.

I survived.

And I never had to eat another Brussels sprout again!


But to this day...
When I think of Disney.
I think of TV trays, Sunday night dinners and... Brussels sprouts.

I'm glad it worked out ok for you. And it gave you quite the story/memory!

Okay. I've had my exercise. I need some sustenance!

When Kay was ready, we popped over to the Pop food court.

Ok. Quit complaining about the stairs. You clearly enjoy walking up and down the stairs. Otherwise, you'd have just picked breakfast up on the first trip.

Thanks. I prefer to wait a minute and get fresh
than not wait and get stale and/or cold.

I'm glad you enjoyed your pop waffle.

Indeed, we didn't have any other problems from that point on.

I'm glad they finally got that fixed.

Hopped on a train for Frontierland!
We had a FP for BTMRR that was set to expire fairly soon.
So rather than walk it, we decided to ride in style.

Ok, I guess now that it is in context, that really makes a lot of sense.

So my question for you is....
Why is that sign showing a hand pointing...
WITH ONLY ONE FINGER?!?!?

Good point.

It doesn't show the official Disney point.

But it could have been a different finger.

Ha! Look at those poor saps in line!
Who would do that?!?!? (Disregard our previous day here. Thanks.)

Suckers!!!!

And I've already forgotten about you standing in a hot line and hogging real estate under the air ducts.

But admittedly, I didn't know what "waffle fries" were.

Possibly one of (IMHO) the least interesting attractions.
At least for me.
It has no nostalgic hold on me.

Well, I can see this. I still enjoy it, but I can't say that I'd be devastated if I had to miss it.

Not one of you told me that Sunshine Tree Terrace and Aloha Isle swapped spots!
I should deduct 100 points from everyone!!

So a deduction for not pointing out something that you had to be living under a rock to miss???

You have to get a Dole Whip float.
Makes all the difference.

See... I don't get those. I just get Dole Whips. I guess that's why I don't think they're the best snack in Disney World.

And I didn't dis it... I just said I can do without them. They're good, but there are other things I like as well or better.

I'm so happy... Look! I have hair!
Whispy... but it's there!
Betcha can't guess which is the "before" and which is the "after".
I know... they're both pretty scary, huh?

Um.... what do you mean "before" and "after?" There's a difference?

In case you're wondering, the process is a little time consuming.
First, of course, you have to pose for the photo.
You then have to wait about 15-20 minutes for it to be developed.
When it's done, the "spirits" make a little bell ring.
A CM will then show you your photo, so you can make sure it's okay.
So if you don't have about a half hour to spare, this won't be do-able.

I can't see myself taking the time to do this. It really is a cool effect, but that's a lot of time and I'm sure a lot of money. For someone who loves HM as much as you do, I'm sure it was well worth while.

And Kay got what she'd waited so long for.
Even before we got to Disney, she'd been waiting for this.
LeFou's Brew!

Woohoo!!! I'm glad she finally got the delicious drink she'd been waiting to try!

Well, this is a Disney TR, not a Disney movie.
She didn't.
She liked the foam a bit, I think.
But wasn't a fan of the liquid part of the drink.

Sorry it didn't live up to the hype. I assume the Dole Whip float was looking better to her at that point?

Let's see... how long has it been since I've been on it...
My neck was just getting better, so I didn't ride it in February.
It was down on our previous trip in 2009.
The kids were too little so I didn't go on it in 2005.
I do remember riding it with Ruby... so that's... 1992.

Holy crap. It's been a while!

Still had fun though. But I'll take BTMRR over it any day.

You're right.

Shoot! Don't they know we have the VIP bus package?
Hmmm... Maybe it only applies to busses.

Hence the term VIP bus package.

1. How long until the next monorail?

8 minutes

2. Where's our World Showcase ADR?
(Hint: It's been guessed at least once before.)

If at first you don't succeed...
Teppan Edo

3. We get some snacks in Epcot! Two of them, each.
What are they?
(ie: pick 2 snacks)

Churro

Is a margarita a snack?

I'll say caramel corn.

4. We do one ride in FW. Which one?

Test Track

5. We see one character by happenstance. Any idea who?
(Major hint. Not a princess. But a face character.)

Mary Poppins

 

[Gracefulskinny]

Yes. Yes I did.
I believe her comment afterwards was:
"Why would you do that?"
"Because it's funny." I replied.
And it is.

Parenting done correctly right there! LOL.

Since I'd just been in February, I didn't feel quite so pushed to
"Get everything done".
I'd actually gotten a lot on that wish list done.
Oh, there's still plenty left to do, but the drive was tempered a bit.

I'm finding that same non sense of urgency with our upcoming march trip. Since we were just there and this is really a bonus unexpected trip anything that gets accomplished is simply bonus. THat being said.... I'm still in the process of building 4 different park itinerary options for our 1 park day.

I believe it was on day three or four that Ruby revolted.
Her happiest day that trip
was when she stayed at the resort and did laundry.

No day where I am stuck doing laundry is a good day.

However.
And brace yourselves... I'm going to shock you all...
For me, Brussels Sprouts and Disney are inexorably linked.

"What?" You exclaim in astonishment. "How can this be!?!?"
(Say you're astonished (feel free to paraphrase) and get free bonus points!)

" Your Astonished!" I'm surprised for sure!

And then there was.... Brussels sprouts.
I'm not kidding. I could choke down almost anything.
But those? My gag reflex would kick in.

I think I mentioned this before, its all in how you cook them. They have potential to be tasty. But too often are cooked past their death.

How many of you are familiar with the refrain:
"You're not leaving the table until you've finished your plate!"

In our house is you have to eat a few bites.

I would cut a miniscule piece off that unholy orb and,
holding my nose with one hand and my fork with the other,
reluctantly place it... it in my mouth.
Valiantly, yet unsuccessfully trying to arrest the gag reflex,
I would somehow, after much effort, choke it down.

This was me being forced to eat raw tomatoes as a kid! Me to a tee!

Now, of course, being older and a parent myself,
I realize it was just their way of getting rid of their little hellions
so they could enjoy a nice meal with adult conversation.

And I never had to eat another Brussels sprout again!

WHAT!?!?!?!? That actually worked?!??!?!? I was 18 getting ready to graduate High school before my mom stopped forcing me to eat raw tomatoes! So not fair!

But to this day...
When I think of Disney.
I think of TV trays, Sunday night dinners and... Brussels sprouts.

I can see that.

Thanks. I prefer to wait a minute and get fresh
than not wait and get stale and/or cold.

Which led to the Kay quip of the trip.
"You know." She said. "The VIP bus package really is a must."

And for a change, there was no tapstile drama.
Her finger worked!

So my question for you is....
Why is that sign showing a hand pointing...
WITH ONLY ONE FINGER?!?!?

Because the artist who made it wasn't educated on the proper disney signature two finger point? Or you can have the parental answer... "Because it is. OOo look at this other thing over here!" Take your pick!

But admittedly, I didn't know what "waffle fries" were.

your standard fry in a waffly shape. My preferred cut of fries actually.

Not one of you told me that Sunshine Tree Terrace and Aloha Isle swapped spots!
I should deduct 100 points from everyone!!

Huh, guess we haven't gotten to that part of my trip report. I could have sworn I mentioned it though!

Doesn't it look like it's glowing?
It should. It's the holy of holies of beverages, ya know.
And for the uninitiated...
Do not get a simple Dole Whip.
No, no, no, no.
You have to get a Dole Whip float.
Makes all the difference.

It's just not the same without the orange sherbert swirl.

You want one right now, don't you?

meh...

I think they turned out pretty good, don't you?

In case you're wondering,

I was in fact!

From left to right you have Bambi's uncle, Pooh, Bambi, Fox (from the Fox and the Hound),
and Bambi's cousin, twice removed... (well his head was only removed once.)

Why?!??

of course, Bambi's mom.

Except that deer has antlers and their for is a dude not a gal!

Even before we got to Disney, she'd been waiting for this.
LeFou's Brew!

Gracefulskinny - 3, Bounty platter, yes, a, faster & brain fried - 4+4=8 points

Gracefulskinny - 2 points awarded accidentally on purpose.

Gracefulskinny – 76 points

Still in the middle. Drats!!!

1. How long until the next monorail?

10 min

2. Where's our World Showcase ADR?
(Hint: It's been guessed at least once before.)

Japan habachi place if I need to be exact

3. We get some snacks in Epcot! Two of them, each.
What are they?
(ie: pick 2 snacks)

American Dream and school bread

4. We do one ride in FW. Which one?

test track

5. We see one character by happenstance. Any idea who?
(Major hint. Not a princess. But a face character.)

Mary Poppins

 

[Mrs T 2009]

I always have to get a dole whip float while in wdw! Otherwise the trip isn't complete to me! They are my kryptonite and make me so happy!!
When we went to Vero Beach they only have vanilla (which they call regular!) and orange. I was not too happy when I ordered a regular, and got straight up vanilla ice cream [ ''You're astonished? I'm astonished! ''] I mentioned that regular is pineapple, and the cm said "a lot of people say that." and offered to redo it with orange, but I said it was ok and gave the ice cream to the hubs and sons. Oh well!

I like lefous brew! I mix the marshmallow foam into the drink. Not a lot of people like it, but I find it refreshingly yummy!

1. How long until the next monorail?
8 minutes!

2. Where's our World Showcase ADR?
(Hint: It's been guessed at least once before.)
Teppan Edo

3. We get some snacks in Epcot! Two of them, each.
What are they?
(ie: pick 2 snacks)
1. Something from Karmel Kuche ( does it need to be more specific? I can change it, if so.)
2. chocolate croissant from France

4. We do one ride in FW. Which one?
Gran Fiesta Tour- Three Caballeros!

5. We see one character by happenstance. Any idea who?
(Major hint. Not a princess. But a face character.)
Alice!

 

[orangecats2]

And now I'm sick with a bad cold!!! It just never ends!

So you liked my answer for the unladen swallow?

I knew it was MK that you went to but switched my answer to AK! Should of went with my gut!

You're astonished!!! I'm not but apparently you are. My DH likes brussels sprouts. He likes most things though. I am the opposite, I eat hardly any vegetables. But I was an only child.

So for guesses - 10 minutes for the monorail, Rose and Crown for dinner, Test Track for the ride, Alice for the character, and a cronut for you and macaroons in France for Kay as your snacks.

 

[jandlinz]

I love a captive audience

You do? I'm so captivated!!!!!!

For you...

For me? Wow! My dearest Ponzi. You do love me!

Plus I really did want to not repeat past mistakes.
When we were there as a family, I had us going from rope drop to close.
We only had five days and I wanted the kids to see as much as possible.

When I was a senior in high school my parents let my twin sister (yup, twin sister, born on Christmas too) take a friend with us to Disney. By the time the trip was over she was exhausted. When she got home her mom asked if she enjoyed her vacation. She said, "I think I need a vacation after the vacation."

Quick as a wink, I'd grab the offending globule and pitch it under the couch.
Problem solved!
I didn't have to eat that... thing. And my parents didn't have to scold me.
Win, win!

Perfect!

My parents thought it was hysterical.
They imagined the cat playing with the sprout.
And they imagined me trying to get away with it.

You have great parents. Mine would have been fuming, especially my mom.

And I never had to eat another Brussels sprout again!

That's awesome. My mom always told me a story about an uncle she had. She had to stay with him one night with some of her other cousins for some reason. He served them mushrooms at dinner. My mom and another cousin refused to eat them. He told them they would be there for breakfast the next morning. When they woke up, sure enough, he had mushrooms on the table for them for breakfast. To this day she still tells that story. She never made us eat our entire plates as kids or eat anything we refused. I've followed her lead to some extent with my own.

So pleased I get to start my day by traipsing up the stairs again.

You should of had us guessing how many times you went up and down the stairs each day or how many stairs you climbed total. I'd really be interested in knowing.

"You know." She said. "The VIP bus package really is a must."

Yippee for VIP!

So my question for you is....
Why is that sign showing a hand pointing...
WITH ONLY ONE FINGER?!?!?

Are they all in the same direction?

Doesn't it look like it's glowing?
It should. It's the holy of holies of beverages, ya know.
And for the uninitiated...
Do not get a simple Dole Whip.
No, no, no, no.
You have to get a Dole Whip float.
Makes all the difference.

Yum! Makes me want one!!!!

You want one right now, don't you?
Sure you do.
Go ahead. Say it out loud. "I want one."
Silly me. Of course you've already said it out loud.
You don't need any prompting from me!

You read my mind. It's as if we've known each other for years.

"What?" You exclaim in astonishment. "How can this be!?!?"
(Say you're astonished (feel free to paraphrase) and get free bonus points!)

I'm amazed!

1. How long until the next monorail?

2. Where's our World Showcase ADR?

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

I wanted to yap ad nauseum about a few things.

Ok, that actually did shock me to the point where I fell out of my chair.
(of course, it might just have been the booze)

A few peeps asked me if I ever fessed up to Kay

Yes. Yes I did.

Not surprised by that, though

I believe her comment afterwards was:
"Why would you do that?"
"Because it's funny." I replied.

And you never cut funny
(or serve tongue at lunch on show day, but that’s a different movie)

Not so much for her, but she's young.
She's got plenty of time to get over it.

Just one of the many, many things she can discuss later on with her therapist.

I believe it was on day three or four that Ruby revolted.
Her happiest day that trip
was when she stayed at the resort and did laundry.

Now, that… is revolting.

I'm not kidding.

And I believe you.
Breaks my heart, but I believe you.

Yup. But she was content, so... it's all good.

There are times when you just gott’a do what has to be done.
And there are reasons for when those times occur.
This on one of ‘em.


Parenting, it’s not just a job…
It’s trial by ordeal.

And finally.
Brussels Sprouts.

For me, Brussels Sprouts and Disney are inexorably linked.

"What?" You exclaim in astonishment. "How can this be!?!?"
(Say you're astonished (feel free to paraphrase) and get free bonus points!)

Astonished? Such an inadequate word for my reaction to this revelation…
I’m searching the entirety of the vocabulary of literary history for something more in keeping with the total state of horrified shock; the inexplicable disbelief; the inexorable and consuming inner emptiness manifested by this heresy… this abomination… this ocean of sorrows that has been foisted upon us. I am chilled to a crystalline stillness by a sense of overwhelming grief for the suffering that this inestimable burden must be inflicting on you as it tears at the very fabric of you sole… the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune are but trifles; pitifully meager in their depth of suffering by comparison…

Astonished? Well, this puny and feeble sentiment will have to suffice…
So, yes… I am astonished.


Or was it just that you wanted us all to be Smart A$$es and say: “You’re Astonished”?

Well I'll tell you.

Mmmmm... I can still taste some of those...
Pot roast, roast chicken, prime rib once in a while...
And always dessert. Mmmmm.... dessert.

So how on earth can this idyllic feast of memory go wrong?

and... yer veg.

Ohhh…

Don't get me started with asparagus.

Wouldn’t dream of it.

And then there was.... Brussels sprouts.

Those words!!!
…they are among the words that we must not hear! (consecutively at least)

How many of you are familiar with the refrain:
"You're not leaving the table until you've finished your plate!"

Yeah… I’ve got that kind of mileage on me.

I would cut a miniscule piece off that unholy orb…

Unholy orb is a much better name for this pestilence.
I decree that we should henceforth refer to these stains upon all living organisms as Unholy Orbs.

"Okay. Now the rest of it."

Wow, now *that* is hardcore…

My sister and I would load up our plates, head downstairs,
open up a couple of TV trays,
pull up a couple of chairs and...
Watch the Wonderful World of Disney!

Ahhhh… The Sunday night Telle Disney Fix; always right after Wild Kingdom…
I remember it well, Horatio.



While we’re off on that tangent…
Who remembers the shows where you’re were allowed to draw on the screens?
(assuming you parents bought the little kit of sheet plastic and markers that is)

I would happily consume the wonderful repast at hand,
leaving nothing but the sphere of darkness on my plate.

“Sphere of Darkness”…
That’s pretty good as well.
Nice imagery.

Quick as a wink, I'd grab the offending globule and pitch it under the couch.

One of the best laid plans of mice and men…
It’s not a matter of if, but only of how this will all come crashing back down upon you.

My cat. My loyal, loving cat...
Had thrown me under the proverbial bus.

Ah yes… another brilliant escape plan, foiled by a feline

How appropriate.

I grew cold. I knew... I knew what they had found.
But I had to play dumb…

“Randy lay there like a slug; it was his only defense.”

This was it. I was dead.

“What would it be? The guillotine? Hanging? The chair? The rack? The Chinese water torture?
Mere child's play compared to what surely awaited me.”

My parents thought it was hysterical.
They imagined the cat playing with the sprout.
And they imagined me trying to get away with it.

“I slowly began to realize I was not about to be destroyed.”

I survived.

And I never had to eat another Brussels sprout again!

“From then on, things were different between me and my mother.”

At 8:50, I threw a bucket of water on her head and she got up!

Pictures or it didn’t happen.

maybe I just called out to her.

So… no pictures then?
Dang!

So pleased I get to start my day by traipsing up the stairs again.

Oh dear, there’s that ratio of numbers…
but I just can’t bring myself to actually make good on the original threat…
It would be inhumane… unspeakable evil… and violation of nearly all the precepts within the Geneva Convention… I need an out here! You’ve got to give me some kind of escape route!

So I waltzed back over to the food court
and danced over to the gift shop.
There I borrowed a real pair of scissors
and cut the rest of the moleskin down to size.
I then returned said scissors and once more
scaled the stairs.

Oh greatest of mercies…
A second assent in the same morning.
Now the count stands at 10 to 5
(and all is right with the world)

I had something that I'd heard other DIS Poppers talk about.
Pop waffles.

Hummmm… Bad omen.
I do believe that I’m not going to be making many points on the bonus questions this round.

A bus was there waiting for us.
Which led to the Kay quip of the trip.
"You know." She said. "The VIP bus package really is a must."

Uh huh… that’s a good one.

And for a change, there was no tapstile drama.
Her finger worked!

Down two…

Hopped on a train for Frontierland!

That’s thr… awwwwww, never mind.

I rather like that picture of your youngest.
Looks like she’s trying with all her might to not bust out laughing at you.

So my question for you is....
Why is that sign showing a hand pointing...
WITH ONLY ONE FINGER?!?!?

Inanimate objects are exempt from the Disney Cast Member Code of Conduct?
If that ain’t it, then I got nothing.

We popped off the wildest train in the west and zipped over to Splash.
FP!

Good start on the day (even if it is nearly afternoon)

I think, knowing what I know now, I might have stopped here.
Maybe next time.

Definitely next time.

Pop Waffles… Waffle Fries… Add Chicken and Waffles for lunch and you’d hit the wafflers trifecta.

We passed the down-for-refurb POC.

“There’s a sad sight.”

Not one of you told me that Sunshine Tree Terrace and Aloha Isle swapped spots!

Sorry ‘bout that Chief.
I’d heard a great deal about it so I figured it was common knowledge…

Mmmmm… I want’s me one of these….

Go ahead. Say it out loud. "I want one."

I just did.

Silly me. Of course you've already said it out loud.

Silly old bear.

I'm so happy... Look! I have hair!

It’s to die for.

Betcha can't guess which is the "before" and which is the "after".

No fair; trick question…

From left to right you have Bambi's uncle, Pooh, Bambi, Fox (from the Fox and the Hound),
and Bambi's cousin, twice removed... (well his head was only removed once.)

Well played!

LeFou's Brew!

I'd like to say she loved it, but...

Sorry ‘bout that too.
This is one of those things where there’s not much in the middle.
Ya’ likem ‘em or ya’ don’t.
We thought it was pretty good, but we were rather hungry and a bit overheated at the time (and I rather like apple cider from time to time).

Space Mountain!
And it's not down for maintenance! Woot!

I do remember riding it with Ruby... so that's... 1992.

That’s a long time between launches.

But I'll take BTMRR over it any day.

Must agree once again.
Dear Lord! That’s three times!
It’s a sign of the End of Days!

When we finished, I asked a CM where I could buy some Mouse ears.
"At the Chapeau Hat Shoppe".
Well, okay. I might have felt a little dumb.
Or a lot.

Left ya’ feelin’ a couple sandwiches short of a picnic, I take it.

Next stop, Epcot!
Which would be our final park of the day.

Do I get points for missing all of them?


No?

But just as we got to the top of the ramp and were about to board,
the doors closed and it pulled away.

First time y’all got caught this trip.

You've all been good little readers and have had to wade through
an incredible amount of twaddle.

Wouldn’t that make us good little twaddlers?

You're guesses and points won:
GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes - 3, sandwich, yes, b, vespers - 0+5=5 points

Thank the Maker for Vespers.

Miscellaneous bonus points
GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes - 2 points for the throne. 4 points for the point.

And for being a consummate Smart A$$...

This might be a good time to officially ask for my allotment of once per TR points given out just for blatantly asking for ‘em.

(Oh, and I’ll gladly take Andy’s share too if he doesn’t think to ask for them)

Bonus questions, round 8!

1. 6 min.
2. Via Napoli
3. Cronuts and Karmel Korn
4. Test Track
5. Mary Poppins

 

[KathyM2]

Since I'd just been in February, I didn't feel quite so pushed to
"Get everything done".

I wish that for once I could have two trips close enough where I could not feel that crazy "get it done" insanity! I did have two trips relatively close I guess....but the first one was so short it just left me wanting more...

Her happiest day that trip
was when she stayed at the resort and did laundry.
I'm not kidding.

I can see that. This is why I really long for a longer than a week trip just once...so that you can get a lot done, but also spend time at the resort and just...chill. But There just never seems to be the time (nevermind the money lol)

When I think of Disney.
I think of TV trays, Sunday night dinners and... Brussels sprouts.

That's quite a hilarious memory actually! What I really find funny is reading about kids who actually did what their parents asked even if it meant choking down green veggies..kids these days...sheesh! (well mine anyway lol)

Hopped on a train for Frontierland!

I was actually said that the train was in refurb when we were there...it was one thing I really wanted to do!

I mentioned to Kay that I'd read that the fries here were really good.

I read that too, but never got to try them either!

A CM will then show you your photo, so you can make sure it's okay.
So if you don't have about a half hour to spare, this won't be do-able.

I wondered about that. It is a bit of a time suck..but the photos sure look cool!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Before I launch into the highly anticipated...
Eagerly awaited...
Endured endeavour...
I wanted to yap ad nauseum about a few things.

Making this completely different from the other chapters...how, exactly?

I believe her comment afterwards was:
"Why would you do that?"
"Because it's funny." I replied.
And it is.

I mean, come on. Did you need a reason?

Since I'd just been in February, I didn't feel quite so pushed to
"Get everything done".
I'd actually gotten a lot on that wish list done.
Oh, there's still plenty left to do, but the drive was tempered a bit.

I guess I can understand that. Maybe. Sort of.


Nah.

I believe it was on day three or four that Ruby revolted.
Her happiest day that trip
was when she stayed at the resort and did laundry.
I'm not kidding.

Who ARE these people??

For me, Brussels Sprouts and Disney are inexorably linked.

"What?" You exclaim in astonishment. "How can this be!?!?"
(Say you're astonished (feel free to paraphrase) and get free bonus points!)

You're astonished! I mean, I'm astonished! Astonishment galore!

Many's a time where I'd be sitting at the table, all alone.
Just me, an empty table, and an empty plate...
except for a lone Brussels sprout sitting stranded.

How many of you are familiar with the refrain:
"You're not leaving the table until you've finished your plate!"

How horrible a pronouncement that is!

Oh, man. That's the worst. Just traumatic. Unless you've gotten really good at shoveling the veggies back into the bowl when mom & dad aren't looking. Or so I've heard.

I would cut a miniscule piece off that unholy orb and,
holding my nose with one hand and my fork with the other,
reluctantly place it... it in my mouth.
Valiantly, yet unsuccessfully trying to arrest the gag reflex,
I would somehow, after much effort, choke it down.

I would then sit there, in misery with tears streaming down my face,
until a parent would say, "Okay. Now the rest of it."

Are you kidding me???
They weren't.

Too bad you aren't a U.S. citizen. This falls under the Constitutional Amendment against "cruel and unusual punishment."

My parents confronted me with the evidence of my mis-doings the following day.
"So." They said. "Guess what we found under the TV last night."
I grew cold. I knew... I knew what they had found.
But I had to play dumb, in the hopes that they didn't know it was me!
"I don't know." I proclaimed. "What?"
"A Brussels sprout."


This was it. I was dead.
Goodbye cruel, Brussels sprouts infested world!

The horror! And such a good plan, foiled! You would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that nosy...cat.

Luckily, however. The fickle finger of fate intervened.
My parents thought it was hysterical.
They imagined the cat playing with the sprout.
And they imagined me trying to get away with it.

I survived.

And I never had to eat another Brussels sprout again!

Wow, Disney magic is real!

When we'd finished dining, we headed out to the bus stop.
We arrived at the bus stop at 11:12am.
A bus was there waiting for us.
Which led to the Kay quip of the trip.
"You know." She said. "The VIP bus package really is a must."

Don't tell Disney, they'll start charging for this!

And for a change, there was no tapstile drama.
Her finger worked!
(Hey, it's not often giving someone the finger works out well.)
Indeed, we didn't have any other problems from that point on.

Dang. Stupid misleading fake foreshadowing.

But admittedly, I didn't know what "waffle fries" were.

This sounds like a problem that needs to be rectified.

I feel that they really should've taken down.. oh, say... Magic Carpets instead.

Yes! And built more Pirates!

Possibly one of (IMHO) the least interesting attractions.
At least for me.
It has no nostalgic hold on me.
But Kay seemed to enjoy it, so I was happy we stopped.

It's so much better in Disneyland, where you can enjoy a Dole Whip Float and completely ignore the show.

Not one of you told me that Sunshine Tree Terrace and Aloha Isle swapped spots!
I should deduct 100 points from everyone!!

Really. No one told me this?
You wanted me to have a minor heart attack?
Is that it?
(Don't answer that.)

Well, if you're going to retroactively complain about this, then I'm going to retroactively advise you that Sunshine Tree Terrace and Aloha Isle have switched locations in Adventureland. You're welcome!

Doesn't it look like it's glowing?
It should. It's the holy of holies of beverages, ya know.
And for the uninitiated...
Do not get a simple Dole Whip.
No, no, no, no.
You have to get a Dole Whip float.
Makes all the difference.

Honestly, I'll take Dole Whips any way I can get them. Ice cream, float, whatever, bring it on!

You want one right now, don't you?
Sure you do.
Go ahead. Say it out loud. "I want one."

I want one!

This was the result of that detour.

And here's Kay's.

The resemblance is uncanny!

From left to right you have Bambi's uncle, Pooh, Bambi, Fox (from the Fox and the Hound),
and Bambi's cousin, twice removed... (well his head was only removed once.)

I'd like to say she loved it, but...
Well, this is a Disney TR, not a Disney movie.
She didn't.

I would imagine anything would be disappointing right after the Dole Whip.

I had told her that it was a coaster in the dark.
But afterwards she said she was disappointed because
from her front seat, she could see the rails
and always knew where the turns, etc. were.

Still had fun though. But I'll take BTMRR over it any day.

It's a coaster. In Disney World. I'll take it!

Shoot! Don't they know we have the VIP bus package?
Hmmm... Maybe it only applies to busses.

I knew it! Disney doesn't wait long to introduce tiered pricing on these perks.

I think that's a good spot to leave off for now.
You've all been good little readers and have had to wade through
an incredible amount of twaddle.

Not at all! It's only been the standard twaddle.

Disney Transportation Wait Time to date (9 busses, 2 boats): 19 minutes

Come on, monorail! I need some help here!

Captain_Oblivious - 2, Pop waffles, yes, b, 42 - 6+6=12 points

Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Captain_Oblivious - Thinks I'm not senile! 3 points.

Wow, I said that? Well, whatever works. And you don't sweat much for such an active guy!

1. How long until the next monorail?

Monorails can be tricky. Depends on if they're holding for clearance, or some such nonsense. You're an air traffic guy, you know that's nonsense, right? Anyway, I'll go with 15 minutes.

2. Where's our World Showcase ADR?
(Hint: It's been guessed at least once before.)

Then I'll say the one I guessed before: Via Napoli.

3. We get some snacks in Epcot! Two of them, each.
What are they?
(ie: pick 2 snacks)

A cronut, and some ice cream from the place in France I can't pronounce.

4. We do one ride in FW. Which one?

Test Track.

5. We see one character by happenstance. Any idea who?
(Major hint. Not a princess. But a face character.)

@afwdwfan .

Oh, you mean a Disney character. Um...Mary Poppins?

 

[Saturn23]

I quoted this incorrectly on purpose...

Okay, that makes more sense.
If it had stayed at a 5... what would a 10 even be?
They have dedicated CMs with large brooms to shove and pack the guests into the park?!?!?

I've never seen a day above a 5 and even those have been too full for my liking. I can't even imagine going to the park on a 10 day. I would just be angry the whole time.

Both!
First I was like your poor feet! And then it was just...

Pictures?

Haa haa!! Then I won't tell you about the days I used to go to Disneyland wearing heels because I didn't even own a pair of flats.

So I looked through my pictures from that day and this was the only one that showed my feet. It's about 5:00pm on the 34000 step day and still no pain!

Also this is the band you were supposed to see in the UK in Epcot. Put it on your list for next time, you'll like them. I didn't want the picture coming up huge on a thread with 40k views.. now only you will see it because nobody else will click on the picture.



Maybe I'll try that.
I can see the headlines now...
"Man arrested for making innapropriate requests with a semi-fish."

No, you just ask her to ride Splash, the rest is up to her.
Isn't it weird that most of my suggestions for your next trip end up with you arrested and making headlines? I told you I would bail you out of anything that was my fault!


Well, we did hang onto the boxes and chopsticks until we were sure the photo was okay.
But... Yeah. I don't think we'd be happy if we had to stand in line in that heat again,
just to get it.

phew! That would have been rough.

Yeah, but how long until you got to it?!?!?

about 3 seconds....

 

[Saturn23]

Well, for the three of you that are still reading...
For the two of you....
For you...

YAY trip report written just for me!!! thanks.

Well, I'm not that patient.
If I hadn't been in a few years, I would've told her
"I'm heading out. E me when you get up and are ready to go."
Ya snooze, ya lose babe.

True, Disney time is precious. You can sleep and do nothing at home.

Plus I really did want to not repeat past mistakes.
When we were there as a family, I had us going from rope drop to close.
We only had five days and I wanted the kids to see as much as possible.

Makes perfect sense! You paid for all those park hours you should use them.

I believe it was on day three or four that Ruby revolted.
Her happiest day that trip
was when she stayed at the resort and did laundry.
I'm not kidding.

Remember when I said I fell out of my chair when you got to the park so late? This is even MORE shocking. OMG!!!! I think I would cry if I were left at the hotel to do laundry.

"What?" You exclaim in astonishment. "How can this be!?!?"
(Say you're astonished (feel free to paraphrase) and get free bonus points!)

I'm astonished!! How about flabbergasted even? I see what you're doing though. Rewards for those who read carefully and don't just skim through. Nice.

I would cut a miniscule piece off that unholy orb and,
holding my nose with one hand and my fork with the other,
reluctantly place it... it in my mouth.
Valiantly, yet unsuccessfully trying to arrest the gag reflex,
I would somehow, after much effort, choke it down.

YUCK!!! Have you tried the pill method? You cut it up into tiny pieces that won't get stuck in your throat and drink each piece down with water so you don't actually chew or taste it. I used to do this when I hated what I was eating or when I got stuck at my neighbour's house for dinner. Her mom wouldn't let me leave the table until I finished everything. She would sit beside me and spoon feed me if she had to. Dinner was usually accompanied by a lot of tears.

I would then sit there, in misery with tears streaming down my face,
until a parent would say, "Okay. Now the rest of it."

Are you kidding me???
They weren't.

Does this qualify as child abuse?

Quick as a wink, I'd grab the offending globule and pitch it under the couch.
Problem solved!
I didn't have to eat that... thing. And my parents didn't have to scold me.
Win, win!

Brilliant!!!

My cat. My loyal, loving cat...
Had thrown me under the proverbial bus.

You just can't trust a cat.

My parents confronted me with the evidence of my mis-doings the following day.
"So." They said. "Guess what we found under the TV last night."
I grew cold. I knew... I knew what they had found.
But I had to play dumb, in the hopes that they didn't know it was me!
"I don't know." I proclaimed. "What?"
"A Brussels sprout."

You should have told them it was a ball of cat poop. By that point it would have been hard to tell the difference. Or maybe snuck downstairs at some point and thrown all the balls away before they were discovered.

But to this day...
When I think of Disney.
I think of TV trays, Sunday night dinners and... Brussels sprouts.

Wait, so does that mean you like brussels sprouts?

"You know." She said. "The VIP bus package really is a must."

Why didn't you tell us you bought the VIP package before making us guess how long you waited??? I would never have said 205 minutes. Actually I have no idea why I guessed so high to begin with. As if you would have spent over 3 hours waiting for transportation. I'm changing my guess to 36 minutes. If that's already taken I'll guess again.

So my question for you is....
Why is that sign showing a hand pointing...
WITH ONLY ONE FINGER?!?!?

Should it be pointing with more than one finger? Or are we supposed to guess what it's pointing to?

Hmmm... bit more crowded today..

Possibly one of (IMHO) the least interesting attractions.
At least for me.
It has no nostalgic hold on me.
But Kay seemed to enjoy it, so I was happy we stopped.

At least you got to take a nap. On one of my early trips there people decided to walk out. One group started it then about half the room followed eventually. It was really strange. I can't imagine that happening now. I think they lock you in so that can't happen.

Not one of you told me that Sunshine Tree Terrace and Aloha Isle swapped spots!
I should deduct 100 points from everyone!!

I have no sense of direction so I had no idea that they switched. I would have told you if I did.

Doesn't it look like it's glowing?
It should. It's the holy of holies of beverages, ya know.

It really is glowing! did you take that picture? It's great!

I think they turned out pretty good, don't you?

Awesome! Where did you hang them? You should decorate a room with a haunted mansion theme. You could get the wallpaper too. It would be the best room ever!

We also saw the Big Guy out, but the lineup was pretty long
and Kay didn't feel like waiting in it.

You have to see him next time, he's hilarious. I met him at the halloween party and I was wearing rabbit ears. He told me they would be much cooler if they were made with mirrors so he could see himself. Wait, did you meet him on your solo trip? Is that where I saw the link to the little girl who was yelling at him?

I'd like to say she loved it, but...
Well, this is a Disney TR, not a Disney movie.
She didn't.
She liked the foam a bit, I think.
But wasn't a fan of the liquid part of the drink.
She soon handed it to me.
I didn't mind.
It was hot and I sipped it (I had long ago finished my Dole Whip)
as we walked.

That's too bad that she didn't like it after waiting for it for so long. I heard the liquid is just apple juice and the foam is the only good part.

Needless to say, I remembered very little of it.
The loading area seemed to be different, but I really don't remember.
Kay wanted the front seat, so we asked for (and got) that.
Which may have been a mistake.
I had told her that it was a coaster in the dark.
But afterwards she said she was disappointed because
from her front seat, she could see the rails
and always knew where the turns, etc. were.

But that's the whole point, if you know when to brace yourself for the turns it's much less painful.

I got ALL the questions wrong and still held my spot in third place. Thanks for the bonus points. BEST CONTEST EVER!!!!

It takes special skills to get them ALL wrong. Chances were 1/2 x 1/2 x 3/4 x 10/11= 33/176 almost 19%. My guesses were perfectly logical though. Kay loves animals, first park AK. Haven't gone on Test Track, second park Epcot. Mk open late, third park MK. I thought it was your last day though. I didn't know you had one more. The pop tart I figured would be wrong. I guessed it because it was so disgusting. I didn't click on the picture of the waffles before guessing or I would have said those.

I'll use no logic to make the next round of guesses

Can we assume your next reservation isn't a repeat?

 

[Saturn23]

I forgot to say I want a dole whip. "I want one".

 

[pkondz]

Sorry I've been AWOL the last few days.

I've had a bit of a rough stretch to get through.
Just work stuff. We've had a few shifts run short, so...

I calculate that the average amount of sleep the body needs in a week is 56 hours.
(Nothing Rocket Scientisty. 7 days X average 8 hours = 56)
I think you can get away with 42 but that would be a bit taxing, I think.
(7 days X 6 hours sleep/night = 42)

I got about 30 I think.
I don't remember. Maybe less.

I do know that in the space of 7 days I worked 9 eight hour shifts.

And I'm still recovering....
Sucks getting old.
It used to be that I loved midnight shifts.
It was like going to an all night party!
(Without the booze or the fun... but you get paid!)

Yeah. Not so much now.
After a Mid, I feel like crap for about two days.

Ah well. Enough whining. Just letting you know where I've been.
Off to do shout-outs now!

 

[pkondz]

Haven't done too many spinning ones for awhile. Loved them as a kid at the fair. We were glad when our kids became old enough to go together without us. You go ride, we'll watch over here

Yep!

"Mommy! Daddy! Can Kay & I go on that ride?"
"Sure! Knock yourselves out. We'll just sit in the shade."
...

"That was fun! Can we go again?"
"Sure! Have fun!"
"You're the best parents ever!! Yay!"

You're worth it. Am I right?

You are.

But I was so happy to get the quote feature back. They help me remember my comments.

I bet! Otherwise you're sitting wondering what you just read.

"Everyone else can quote so why can't I!

The DIS hates you?

That was a good surprise! As I was posting, you put installment up!

Just for you.

You do know that this is part of my afternoon, when I get home from work... See what's going on with Pkondz

Really? Gee, that's pretty flattering!

Or stalkerish.


One of those.

 

[pkondz]

I think that's the best part of the Disney bubble - still exciting to be there, but not frantic.

Until the next time I go... (whenever that is)
Then it'll be Go! Go! Go! again!

Brussels sprouts and Thanksgiving dinner, yes.

No.

Brussels sprouts and Christmas dinner, yes.

No.

Brussels sprouts and Disney - nope, nope, nope, nope....

I love those guys!
And... well, unfortunately... the two are linked.
I'm not happy about it. It just is.

Still looking forward to some hot days next trip. I hope...

Sure. But maybe not that hot.

"I can't move!"
"Why? Tired?"
"No! My shoes have melted!"

Yummy, I do enjoy those pop waffles. Not so sure why the bacon is so anorexic, though.

Cheap to feed the masses?

The. Best. Line!

It was, wasn't it!

I will report back in April whether I try one again.

Standing by.

umm... April's a ways off still..... Sitting by!

They did! I mean, as long as they're not the before trip/after trip pics!

How'd you know???

Hey, back off of my Gaston! He's a good hunter, and has biceps to spare! And I named my red car after him!

Okay! Okay!

I actually get a kick out of him. But I do find it odd that Disney would have those up on the wall.

Sorry, it's so hard to maintain my Disney Princess behaviour in RL!

I just have to comment about Brussel sprouts.

Must you? Really?

<sigh> Okay. Go ahead.

Growing up, I never ate them. My mom doesn't like them, so we were never made to eat them. I grew up thinking they were evil encarnate, so I despised them.

This is right and just.

Fast forward to last year:: My husband was telling me I just needed to try them once.

Your husband either doesn't love you or loves playing pranks on you.
These are the only two options that make sense.

He likes them, they are yummy and not as bad as I am imagining.

HE LIES!!!!

So I get some from the store and they're buttery and a bit garlicky. And guess what? I actually didn't hate them! They were in fact delicious!

Oh, all right.
I have heard, from various sources, that if done right, they aren't bad.
But I will never, ever know.

Now, cabbage- that's something I am not a fan of, but will eat occasionally.

I used to take cabbage rolls, cut 'em open and just eat the "innards".

And how funny the cat was using it as a toy!!

Funny. Sure. She almost got me killed!

I was anticipating you saying that your mom smelled a horrid smell and that's how she found out.. The cat thing is way better!! haha

Better? I never trusted that cat again.

 

[pkondz]

"You're astonished". There I said it. Exactly as you asked.

Well, I did ask for it.

(Sorry, my smart donkey is rearing his hind legs tonight. Nights off do that.)

"Night off"? What is this strange thing that you speak of?

However, in case that's not what you were really aiming for, I'll play along (because I actually have a fighting chance at winning this gig):

Not if I start deducting points for smart donkey remarks!

(Not to worry. I actually like smart donkey. I'm weird that way.
If anything, it'll earn you points!)

I am utterly and amazingly stupefied (please do not confuse that with stupidfied)!!!!

That'll do donkey. That'll do.

I hope not.
It's more fun this way.

Ok... at least there's a method to the madness. But I'd still have a hard time just sitting around waiting.

I didn't say I particularly enjoyed it.
But... she was happy.
And that was the main goal of the trip.

Why paraphrase?

"you're astonished"

Et tu, Brute?
Liesa beat you to it.

Mmmm... quite a menu. Now how long to I have to wait before I can go to lunch?

<ding!> Lunch time!

Funny how time reveals information.

Every parent needs to go to their parent and beg forgiveness.

I'm glad it worked out ok for you. And it gave you quite the story/memory!

Ok. Quit complaining about the stairs. You clearly enjoy walking up and down the stairs. Otherwise, you'd have just picked breakfast up on the first trip.

I would have, but....
I had bought her those muffins.
But by now, she was clearly looking for something different.
So it was only after I got back up, that she asked for breakfast.

I'm glad you enjoyed your pop waffle.

I don't know that I'd go out of my way for it... but it was all right.

I'm glad they finally got that fixed.

Not more than she was!

Ok, I guess now that it is in context, that really makes a lot of sense.

Thought you'd see it that way when the explanation came.

Good point.

It doesn't show the official Disney point.

But it could have been a different finger.

True!

Suckers!!!!

And I've already forgotten about you standing in a hot line and hogging real estate under the air ducts.

I have no idea what you are referring to.

Listen bud. You're a corn farmer, so don't give me that look about fried up spuds.
As far as I know, I haven't seen them anywhere up here.

Poutine, yes. But waffle fries? Nope.

Well, I can see this. I still enjoy it, but I can't say that I'd be devastated if I had to miss it.

I skipped it on my solo trip.

So a deduction for not pointing out something that you had to be living under a rock to miss???

Here's the thing. I used to spend most of my time on the Strategies board.
But now almost all my time is spent on the TR board,
so I find I'm missing out on a lot of stuff.

See... I don't get those. I just get Dole Whips. I guess that's why I don't think they're the best snack in Disney World.

Try the float. Just do it.
Unless of course you have an aversion to pineapple juice.

And I didn't dis it... I just said I can do without them. They're good, but there are other things I like as well or better.

Trying to weasle out of that deduction, hunh?

Um.... what do you mean "before" and "after?" There's a difference?

Yep. If you look closely, you'll see a subtle difference in the lighting.

I can't see myself taking the time to do this. It really is a cool effect, but that's a lot of time and I'm sure a lot of money. For someone who loves HM as much as you do, I'm sure it was well worth while.

I think it was around $25-$30?
Fun to see the result, too.

Woohoo!!! I'm glad she finally got the delicious drink she'd been waiting to try!

Er... uh...

Sorry it didn't live up to the hype. I assume the Dole Whip float was looking better to her at that point?

Nope. She's not a fan of that either.

I may disown her.

Holy crap. It's been a while!

Too long.

Hence the term VIP bus package.

She did say that, didn't she.

Parenting done correctly right there! LOL.

Thank you kindly.

I'm finding that same non sense of urgency with our upcoming march trip. Since we were just there and this is really a bonus unexpected trip anything that gets accomplished is simply bonus. THat being said.... I'm still in the process of building 4 different park itinerary options for our 1 park day.

Yep. I still had all our ADRs and FPs set to go with contingency plans, too.

No day where I am stuck doing laundry is a good day.

Well...
She threw a load in, grabbed her book and read by the pool.
Every hour or so, she'd get up and flip in another load.

She was happy to not be running around the parks.

" Your Astonished!" I'm surprised for sure!

<sigh> That's three of you in a row.
You guys are a litteral bunch. I'll give you that.

I think I mentioned this before, its all in how you cook them. They have potential to be tasty. But too often are cooked past their death.

Meet my mother.
First she cooks them.
Then she cooks them some more.
Then she cooks them to death.
She then applies electrodes and revives them.
Then she cooks them some more.
After they die again, she cooks them some more.

Then she serves them and forces me to eat them.

In our house is you have to eat a few bites.

That's pretty common.
So..... would you have a few bites of raw tomatoes? Hmmmm????

This was me being forced to eat raw tomatoes as a kid! Me to a tee!

Always fun to have tears streaming down your face at dinner time!

WHAT!?!?!?!? That actually worked?!??!?!? I was 18 getting ready to graduate High school before my mom stopped forcing me to eat raw tomatoes! So not fair!

I win!

Pretty much how she felt about it.

Because the artist who made it wasn't educated on the proper disney signature two finger point?

Or you can have the parental answer... "Because it is. OOo look at this other thing over here!" Take your pick!

Squirrel!

your standard fry in a waffly shape. My preferred cut of fries actually.

I was just mentioning to Andy. I don't think I've ever seen those up here.

Huh, guess we haven't gotten to that part of my trip report. I could have sworn I mentioned it though!

You might have. It just didn't click.

It's just not the same without the orange sherbert swirl.

Never had one. And it sounds so good.
But when I get within striking distance of a pineapple Dole whip... I can't help myself.

meh...

SACRILEGE!!!

Why?!??

You'd have to ask Gaston.

Except that deer has antlers and their for is a dude not a gal!

Actually antlers on female white tails is fairly common.
But you are correct. Bambi's Mom didn't have any.
But Gaston, being the He-man that he is,
stuck some antlers on her so he'd look tougher.

Still in the middle. Drats!!!

Well, get to work!
(Heh. That's how I feel on your TR! )
