At one point, he and his wife Smidgy were at Teppan Edo
and he decided to "test" the hot plate.
Only Nebo would do that.
I get it, it's tempting to touch it!
Unfortunately, due to health issues,
Nebo hasn't posted in a year or two.
I miss him on here.
He sounds like a great guy, sorry he's not doing well.
And that surprised me.
I guess I was under the mistaken belief
that most of you had followed me from there.
I found your solo trip report in August. I was reading some other one and couldn't make it past page 3 or 4 because of some things I found annoying (call them reasons x, y, z). My sister said she had been reading a trip report but also quit because she was annoyed for different reasons (a, b, c). I asked her for the link since reasons a b and c aren't annoying to me so I figured I could read it.... She sends the link and it's the SAME trip report.
After that I see "Canadian Buffoon" on the list. I think, "he's Canadian so he must be cool and doesn't seem to take himself too seriously". I clicked on it and ended up reading for hours! I loved it, so funny!!! And this was an absolute first for me, I didn't find ANYTHING annoying. Not one thing!!! For most people that's normal but for me it's really rare. You were the opposite of annoying
Yours was the first trip report I ever made it to the end of. I even read the Toronto part.
Isn't it wonderful when the writer starts off
by basically lying to you?
That's what makes it fun.
Maybe it was the three or eight mugs of Coke I drank
at least it wasn't "the three or eight lines of coke I did"
The things I do for you, dear reader.
we really appreciate it!
Hmm.... Something is different.
There's a disturbance in the Force.
I popped open the door and...
Yep. There IT was.
Hanging from the door knob like a garrotted condemned criminal.
Our DUD* info.
That is the absolute worst sight!! I hate those tags. HATE THEM.
Okay.
Step one. Panic.
"Last day! Last day! Barricade the door!
You'll never take me alive!"
That should work.
Step three.
Pretend it's not real.
That pretty much works in all areas of life.
What time do we need to be at the front desk tomorrow?
2:45am.
WHY???? that's just torture. Was that the only flight available?
Then again, it may be because I screamed
"WAKE UP!!!!!" at her.
Of course, your last day can't be wasted sleeping.
One minute.
It was longer than we were used to.
But I am nothing if not understanding.
I let it slide and chose not to berate the driver
for his tardiness.
That was so nice of you!!! You just took it out on some unsuspecting person later.
Am I not gracious?
Of course I am.
Tell me how gracious I am and get free bonus points.
You are the MOST gracious person I have EVER met..... (online).
Unfortunately, like I said, it was a long line.
Pretty much exhausted every possibility.
Those were great!! Wear your Alice dress and it's Sum of all Frills.
Before you ride, you get to design your own course.
You also chose your ride vehicle:
Bobsled, coaster or jet.
Only the coaster and jet will allow you to do loops.
So naturally we chose the jet.
Obviously, it's the best one. Looks like you designed a great course. Were you freaked out when they said "here's the emergency stop switch in case you need it"?
Hoooooey! That sucker is fun!
Might just be one of the best rides in Epcot.
It really is! I always mean to ride this and then never seem to fit it in.
I dunno.
We've all driven (or been driven) that fast on the highway.
Yet with the banked track, it seems faster, doesn't it?
Probably because it's open. I wish they would just cut out the first part of the ride and just let you go around the track twice instead. We lucked out twice last trip and rode during illuminations so we saw fireworks as we circled the track.
Hmmm... Maybe she's trying to tell me something.
Sheesh. Some things never change...
She's telling you that her favourite colour is red. Cute comparison pictures!
There! Are you happy?
Most of you guessed we'd eat here.
Yes finally I'm happy but you should have eaten there on your first day so I could have been right three attempts ago.
Really? I can get a $6.00 shake at 50s Prime Time,
but can't get a $4.50 lemonade?
(Those prices are insane when I look at them
from outside the WDW bubble.)
They're sort of insane inside the bubble too.
For all you Via Napoli fanatics...
prepare to be disappointed.
I did enjoy the pizza and, if memory serves,
(it seldom does) Kay did too.
But.
Was it amazing? No.
I get it. The first time I ate there I had a cold and couldn't taste anything. My whole family was underwhelmed. I insisted we go back so I could actually taste it and it was just ok. I had the prosciutto and melone. Nobody was thrilled the second time either. The desserts were good though.
You want amazing? Try Chicago.
Or heck, come to Winnipeg.
Ummmmm actually try Italy! I've never found pizza as good anywhere else. It must be something about the ingredients they use or the climate. I don't know why. The crust is so thin it's practically like eating toppings right off the pan. It might just be like that in the north, I've never visited the south.
Now normally I'll take gelato over sorbet any day.
But lemon trumps non-lemon gelato.
What about hazelnut gelato?
She didn't buy much, just a few water bottles
and a few sundry items.
and a bunch of stuffed animals
Because when she's not happy, oh boy.
You'll definitely not be happy.
I love Kay! I'm thinking she's my long lost twin.
"We're from Canada." I said.
I know to just leave it at that.
I've found that if I say "Winnipeg",
I get blank stares.
If I say "Manitoba" the province that has
Winnipeg as its capitol... I get blank stares.
So I usually go with the safe "Canada"
Don't feel bad, I've said Toronto and gotten those same blank stares.
Anytime I hear Winnipeg I think of this.... It still makes me laugh.
Again?!?!?!?!?
I talk to three random strangers,
on three separate days.
And they're all from "A small town in Jersey, just outside Philadelphia"???
Ok NOW that's really weird. I thought it was just a coincidence before.
If everyone from Jersey is here now.
Who's minding the store back in Jersey????
It was taken over by zombies. The humans all escaped to Disney. Are you sure you didn't step into a time warp and end up there in the middle of jersey week?
Still LOVE this!!!!!
1. Obvious one. Which park are we heading out to next?
Animal Kingdom
2. Remember we have to be at the lobby for check out at 2:45am.
So... Is the next park our last of the day? Or not?
Number of parks done this last day, 2, 3 or 4?
not the last park, 3 for the day
3. I experience yet another first time snack.
And it's another fairly common one.
(I had to. I promised I would.) What is it?
churro
4. Oh, take a wild guess on what time we leave the parks for the night.
And just to make things extra easy for you...
(in order of lateness open)
MK open til 11, DHS open til 9:30, Epcot open til 9, AK open til 5
10:30 you're just going to pull and all nighter.
5. We've been lucky with the weather... so far.
So, do you feel we stay lucky?
no
6. What do you think? We've done one ADR today already.
Do we have a dinner ADR?
yes (if you paid cash for your ice cream at beaches and cream, no if you used a table service credit for it).
What would I do without you?
)
And she certainly did!
Someone in MY camp! DH and I don't like it either. Its loud and the pizza isn't any better than the place at the edge of our new neighborhood. (Yes that's dangerous) 
), it's pronounced New-fin-land, rhymes with understand. Don't ask why we pronounce "found" as "fin", we just do
to the TR!
