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

[SnowWhiteOz]

The judges decisions are final.

Sorry.

Do you accept bribes? I can offer you Australian dollars or government secrets - whichever you prefer...

Hmmm.... No. And yes. And no. But yes!

Does that clear it up for you?

Crystal.

Oh, dear. That's not good.
I try really hard to be patient with Kay.

Sometimes I succeed... sometimes I don't.

Well you seem to be doing a good job from over here

 

[queenbetsey]

I don't think I've ever had Nehi, but I'd really like to try some, someday.

and lemme guess that would be a grape nehi of course.......*bonus points ???*

 

[queenbetsey]

It's been a rough day.
As some of you know, I've been nursing a bad back of late.
What most of you don't know is that I've been trying to build a deck.
Kinda hard, though, with my bad back.
So it's been languishing.

But today I had to put the pool to bed for the winter,
and the back was feeling okay.

Might as well work on the deck a bit.

Step one, move my very heavy saw into place.
Without hurting my back.
Took my time and... success!

Need some screws from the basement.
Zip downstairs, grab em, head back up and...

It happened so fast.
Still not sure what happened.

I don't have stairs yet, just the stringers that hold up the stairs.
One second I was approaching them,
the next I was plunging down them, head first.

The back of my right leg from knee to derriere is one big mass
of scrapes, bruises and cuts.

Also hurt a finger a bit.
At least my back seems okay.
We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

Right now, I can't bend or twist because that re-opens the cuts.
Plus I can't sit. Or at least not comfortably.


So while I've kept you waiting on the edge of your seats...
I'm sitting on the edge of mine!


Must be karma.


Man, this hurts!


Show must go on.
Update soon.

OOOOOHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO!!!!! poor ponzie. I really am sorry to hear that.

 

[queenbetsey]

awesome update, sorry again for your fall, but so glad to see you made it to the east coast house of mouse.

father of the year award for taking the floor/cot for lady kay,
I need to get back to sewing for our future disser *due oct 14 so lil miss scarlett will have a cousin* so I will make some feeble attempts at humor tomorrow or Friday. still crazy stupid hot out here so we will look out at the nasty palm trees behind our yard our weather that will be somewhere between 98 and a hundred and oh holy cow! tomorrow and Friday.
so I am guessing that lady kay will surprise us all and wake up at 7:30 ish (like that ish see then we can bend the time right??? figure that should give me about 15 minutes either way*
ride must be Everest
snack..hhhmmmm mickey pretzel and or churro
take care of yourself your readers miss you when you are gone, *watching mash as I type*

 

[pkondz]

Thanks for waiting for me! That was really nice of you.

I aim to please.

My aim is frequently "off" though.

My trip was fun for the most part. The halloween party Friday was great! Unfortunately it was exponentially busier than the corresponding week last year so I went in with false hopes and that's never a good thing. Last year I could walk with my arms straight out and turn circles because the pathways were so empty. I think you lucked out on your week with the hurricane.

So glad you had fun at the party!
I would so love to go again. Maybe some day... who knows.
Did you stay for the second parade? Did the crowds thin out after the fireworks?

BTW you left me off the wait times list, I guessed 205 minutes a few pages ago

Whoops! Sorry about that. I added your guess in.

I'm happy you made it through customs and caught your flight!

You're happy! Man, I was really worried there.

Sorry you had so much to deal with when you got there with the bed situation. That was nice of them to bring you a cot.

I really appreciated the cot. Probably saved me from waking up stiff and sore at the very least.

OMG about being stuck in the 90's with teams. That would not have been fun.

Yeah. I was just "Nope!"

My guesses:
Kay woke up at 9, she was too excited to sleep in longer
Everest was the best ride, although I would think you would schedule that as a last fast pass so as to not miss it
Favourite snack was the mickey bar

Noted.

Sorry to hear about the fall. I guess the upside is that your back didn't get hurt... how does it feel today?

Actually, the back was okay. A little stiffer but all in all, not too bad.
My leg on the other hand....
I actually couldn't see it since it's on the back of my thigh so Ruby took a picture.
I thought "Great! I'll post it on the DIS!"

1. Who wants to see some old dude's leg? Certainly not me.
2. It looks pretty darned horrible and posting that pic would probably break some DIS rule.

This is too funny. I love that Kay picked it up. This is absolutely something I could picture my husband and oldest daughter doing.

Funny thing was I wasn't all that surprised when she did.
She's very quick and sharp.

Perhaps he didn't like the use of the word "lovely" maybe he felt his bag was "stunning".

That's sort of what I was thinking too.

Yes. This exactly. We've been at the end of August a few times before but this year was bar far the worst.

I know, right?
I keep telling people it was hot and they say stuff like "Well it's Florida in August."
No! This was hotter than that!

Hmm super tough question. I think I'll go with K...
no I'm going to go out on a limb and pick you!

Good choice.

Yes I'm winning!
Hey I'm the closest right now so that makes me winning okay?!
Let me have it, it won't last long.

You are definitely in the lead. I suspect, barring a two hour wait for the first bus,
that you'll be in the lead after the next update too!

1. Despite the ridiculously late hour I am going to say that Kay is super excited and actually gets up around 8:30am.
2. There are two obvious choices here (Everest and Kilimanjaro). But, since you didn't know what time Kay would be up I am going to guess that you had FP+ for those later than the time you got there (since I'm predicting she got up at a reasonable hour). So I'm going to go with something that rarely has a line (and therefore you likely didn't have a FP+ for) and say Dinosaur.
3. Frozen lemonade. Because although you can find them all over, this is the treat that my family always gets in this park... because it's so hot.

Noted.

 

[pkondz]

You're a glutton for punishment.

Trust me... I've had my fill.

That's how it always happens.

Unfortunately... yes.

Ouch...

I might've said "ouch" plus some other stuff.
I don't really remember, I was too busy being curled up in the fetal position wondering if I was still alive.

Well, there's the positive. I thought the whole thing was going to have happened because you had a back spasm or something and that's what threw you off balance.

Yeah. Sure. Positive.

Maybe you'll avoid causing an international incident after all.

Give me time...

Great! I had a feeling this is how it would play out. I'm glad that Kay answered appropriately and you were allowed to go on your way.

She actually does have enough sense (sometimes) to keep the snide remarks at bay.

Hey, he could have made things a lot more difficult on you!!! He did bend the rules for you.

Well, he did... and he didn't.
I read up on it on the customs web site a few days ago.
Interesting read.
You're not required to bring a letter,
but without it you can be detained until the matter is resolved to Custom's satisfaction.

I'm proud of you. It's Kay's once in lifetime trip with Dad. Gotta live it up a little bit!

And not just airlines. Pretty much every business out there. Even one that everyone here really really likes a lot.

Starbucks???

It was definitely off topic. But a fun ride. As long as I'm not on that plane.

Soon... soon...

I find that to be the case quite often. I don't know if it says more about my taste in movies, or in the Oscars, but it seems like when I watch movies that were nominated for best picture, I'm usually disappointed. And there are always some good ones, but it seems like if there are 6 nominees each year, I like 1 or 2 and struggle to even watch the rest.

I remember when Lost in Translation won... not sure if it was picture or director.
Anyway, I watched it. It was pretty good at first... then it got.... weird.

She's got you wrapped around her finger...

Oh, I know.

But you should be used to that by now.

But I usually don't get a picture of people looking at me like I'm weird.
Makes 'em think I'm even weirder. Although you wouldn't think that would be possible.

I was counting on about 15 minutes here. Well, I'll hold out for now. But I think I'll end up changing my guess. Especially being sandwiched between 273 and 270. Unless it is exactly 271, I've got no margin for error!

Check.

No. You haven't. But you're in Orlando in August. So you really didn't need to mention it.

Like ForeverDance just mentioned, there's hot, there's Florida hot then there was this.
This was hotter than normal, at least that's what the locals were saying.

Oh! Oh! I know!!! It was @pkondz !!!

Good for you! You got the subtle hint!

Exactly! I didn't even realize they had one bed rooms in the Value Resorts. Learn something new everyday, I guess.

You and me both.

And she wasn't going to warn you about this??? That's enough to make my decision right there. Heck, I'm not even sure I want to stay anywhere in that resort anymore!!!!

It did send a chill down my spine. But I only heard them late at night once.
If it was even them.

So the guy with the bad back gets the floor? She really does have you right where she wants you.

Yep.

Well, that was nice! Not an ideal situation at all, but I'm glad the CM took the extra initiative to try to help you out a little bit. I guess she did what she could.

Yeah, and I really appreciated it too.

7:45
Expedition Everest
Churro

Noted.

 

[pkondz]

Sorry you had a rough day !

Thanks for the hug Kelly! I could really use it.
(I'm just feeling grumpy from the pain and sorry for myself (because I'm a man.))

Quick call @Steppesister! She knows what she's doing! Seriously....sorry you are bruised and battered!

Thanks, and she heard your call!

I'm very happy to see that your other 9 fingers are operational!

Oh, all 10 are. Luckily it's just a little sore.
Actually, as I type this, it's pretty much all better.

Take care and stop drinking and doing construction!

You're the second person to say that!

Ice only first 3 days, then alternating heat and ice, lots if ibuprofen if YOU can take that,

Got it.

rest, meals served in bed, no housework, and ice cream nightly.

So, do I have to serve Ruby hot meals in bed or can I just give her cereal in the morning?

You're funny. I fell down the stairs/off the deck
and all the kids wanted to know was what I was making for supper!

OOOOOHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO!!!!! poor ponzie. I really am sorry to hear that.

Awww, thanks Betsey. I appreciate that. I really do.

awesome update, sorry again for your fall, but so glad to see you made it to the east coast house of mouse.

Thanks! And to think just a few months ago, this trip wasn't even on the radar.

father of the year award for taking the floor/cot for lady kay,

Sweet!!!!

I need to get back to sewing for our future disser *due oct 14 so lil miss scarlett will have a cousin*

Perfect birthdate. I happen to know someone that I'm married to that has a similar birthdate.

so I will make some feeble attempts at humor tomorrow or Friday.

I await with bated breath.

still crazy stupid hot out here so we will look out at the nasty palm trees behind our yard our weather that will be somewhere between 98 and a hundred and oh holy cow! tomorrow and Friday.

You can have some of our cool in trade if you want?

so I am guessing that lady kay will surprise us all and wake up at 7:30 ish

Noted.

(like that ish see then we can bend the time right??? figure that should give me about 15 minutes either way*

We'll see.

You moron! They're supposed to serve YOU meals in bed. OH, wait, I see how it works. Oddly, it sounds just like the cretans in my household.

 

[pkondz]

Whups! Got out of order there on the shout-outs somehow.
Here we go...

Nice try, I would have played that card myself

Didn't work, though. I guess any guard asking for the letter
(make that demanding) isn't going to be easily swayed.

Good thinkin, kid! didn't work, but nice try!

That's what I thought.

What a nice Daddy!

I have an award, apparently.

What???? No TV monitors in PLUS seats? travesty.

No monitors, period.
Colour me unimpressed.

Oh No! heart sinks......

That was about it.
It was "aaaaaaahhhhhh..... cool, blessed A/C.... finally, some rest!" and then....
blorp.

Redemption! Nice of her to do that, but I definitely think an upgrade to the GF was in order after all that!

To both parts of that statement.

Kay woke up at 9:55
Dinosaur
Mickey Pretzel

Noted.

Almost forgot, how can I possibly pass up a chance at an easy point......
Hummm, I wonder....... it's not Kay..... so it must have been you!

Noted... I suspect you're right, though.

Ooh! I am so glad you caught the flight even though I guessed you didn't! On that note, I am not sure if I should be happy that Security at Customs let you through (since I know you weren't kidnapping Kay) or if I should be horrified because what if you were and she lied? I am going to to with happy.

Never thought of it from that angle!
Even as I sit here, in my new cramped quarters in Mexico,
with Kay tied by my... er... sitting.... yeah, she's sitting by my side.

Clearly you were just too charming for him! (I've got to work on my Flattery points or I'll never win!)

Good call. Just don't over do it.
Oh, you'll see. Someone is bound to be overzealous in their sucking up.

Bummer about the room. I am too light of a sleeper to share a bed with any of my kids too. I would have picked the floor as well. I love that they brought you a cot though!

Yeah, it wasn't going to happen.
But it was such a relief when the cot showed up.

Here are my next guesses:
1. Kay gets up at 8:45am.
2. Expedition Everest
3. The jalapeno stuffed pretzel.

Noted.

Here are my guesses

Transportation wait time: 240 min.

1. 7:00
2. Primeval Whirl
3. Turkey leg

Noted.

Yippee! So, so, so glad you made your flight.

Not as glad as we were!

Too bad the pixie dust version didn't happen though.

That would've been nice.
You noticed I included it, right?
I actually was hoping for an upgrade to a mod or possibly a Boardwalk area hotel.
But I liked the GF version better.

I guess a cot for pixie dust will have to do.

Better than nothing!

You are such a sweet daddy to give your daughter the king bed and turkey wrap. Did you see this picture the other day from Yahoo news? That's what dads are for!

No! I hadn't seen it. That's just so typical of a good dad isn't it?
Of course I wouldn't do that. Let her get wet! I'd melt!
(It's not just for witches anymore.)

Top floors are rough, especially when you don't use the elevator. Our first time going as a family we had the top floor at OKW, no elevators! We were on cloud 9 when we arrived. I hadn't been to Disney since high school, so it'd been awhile since I had visited. Not having an elevator at the end of the day with 3 sleeping kids and one in the oven was tough on my DH and I. We won't make that mistake again.

Oh, man. And you were pregnant too????

Ok my logical guesses are:
Kay wakes up at 9 after a refreshing nights rest in her king bed.
The ride she loves is Expedition Everest.
Mickey bar is the snack because it's sooooo HOT!

Noted.

No kidding...it can be really far...been there, done that!

Phew!! Also you just reminded me I need to work on getting my letter like that!! Sometimes they ask for it...sometimes they don't...

It was a first for me. Won't happen again!

I'm so sorry about the room/bed troubles!! That would just suck so late at night on arrival day...ugh...

I was so tired. And it was hot. I just wanted to relax and conk out.
It was tough having to make the trek back to the lobby.
And when I saw there was another line up...

FINALLY!!

Oh, so now you're happy?

I don't envy the Orlando heat though, last time I was there was late August, 2000 and something and I just remember the humidity was like a wall.

Yep. That's exactly what it was like.
I've mentioned this a few times now,
even the locals were saying it was unusually hot.

hmmm 10:15

Everest

I'm going to say Mickey Bar

Noted.

 

[pkondz]

Gotta run! Shout-outs continued tomorrow!
G'night folks!

 

[Kiotzu]

Oh, so now you're happy?

HAPPY...YOU WANT ME TO BE HAPPY...yes I am happy now!

Yep. That's exactly what it was like.
I've mentioned this a few times now,
even the locals were saying it was unusually hot.

It's horrible when it is like that, especially for a Canadian...we have not evolved to deal with that kind of heat!

Next trip maybe try one of those cool towels? I am thinking about getting one for DLR

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Oops! I just realized I replied to your update...in my head.
I'm sorry you fell. hope you are doing okay, because you'requested awesome.

Well, I guess Kay decided to keep you, since she had a chance to say she was running away...because you're awesome.

Bummer on the room. I guess they took room location above bed requests

My guesses,

Kay got up at 10:00
The rise was EE
The snack was frozen lemonade

Hope your back is holding up becsuse, you're awesome
(How did I do, answering your question from my TR?)

 

[ForeverDance]

Actually, the back was okay. A little stiffer but all in all, not too bad.
My leg on the other hand....
I actually couldn't see it since it's on the back of my thigh so Ruby took a picture.
I thought "Great! I'll post it on the DIS!"

1. Who wants to see some old dude's leg? Certainly not me.
2. It looks pretty darned horrible and posting that pic would probably break some DIS rule.

You are definitely in the lead. I suspect, barring a two hour wait for the first bus,
that you'll be in the lead after the next update too!

You're not required to bring a letter,
but without it you can be detained until the matter is resolved to Custom's satisfaction.

I guess that's why they don't always ask for it. However, the whole "resolved to Custom's satisfaction" is a little concerning. They could pretty much detain you indefinitely.

Next trip maybe try one of those cool towels? I am thinking about getting one for DLR

My parents found one of those for my youngest dd last year (she doesn't tolerate heat well) and honestly we didn't find it worked well at all.

 

[pkondz]

1) Kay gets up at 10:10

2) EE

3) Mickey Bar

Noted.

ETA: I'll make your job easier for any bonus points you'd like to give me...

1) I spent 1/2 hour reading the update

So you're saying I'm long winded.
Check.

2) I sympathize with your having to make (and making) the sacrifice to sleep on the floor

And now you're saying I'm pathetic.
Check.

3) I told you I suck at your contests and need more sympathy points

You did say that... But you're putting up a valiant effort here.
I approve.

4) I'm guessing you DIDN"T go with a jalepeno cream cheese pretzel, which makes me a better snack chooser. I should get a point for that.

We'll see... next update.

5) I passed my math test today

Congrats again!
I'll take it under advisement.

6) I look great in my one-piece

Prove it.

7) I agree with your estimation of Mr. McGrumpy Pants Customs Agent. One point for that, and we can double team him.

I'm not sure how that'll work out.
He has a gun.
I only have wit.
Well, half of it anyways.

So, there's a ton of great ideas for points. Just pick and choose and I'll be grateful for any I get, and I won't even bite anyone.

Noted.

 

[pkondz]

she should of said she was just for theatre!!!

That would've gone over really well.

I feel your pain. Once when i flew from Honolulu to Sydney, 10 hour 30 minute flight, during the day and instead of each seat having its own screen, you had to rent one from them... so I choose seats near the front of the plane so I would be one of the first asked and had my money ready and then once the plane took off, they announced to the whole plane they have let the bloody NSW junior gymnastics team have all the personal devices due to their fantastic competition results so everyone else on the plane had to watch the small, communal screen which showed 3 movies the whole flight that I needed to angle my head at a strange angle to see anything. STILL NOT OVER IT THOSE GIRLS COULD HAVE SHARED SCREENS BETWEEN THEM!!!!!!!

If you're going to do that, then you better have enough iPads (or whatever) for everyone on the flight.
Grrrr....

surely she thought your young, fit, athletic body would get those refills quicker??

Actually, I'm probably in better shape than Kay is.
Unfortunately, she's a couch potato.

Gotta be aggressive to get that upgrade!!!

Oh, so now you tell me!

And your a nice father for letting her have the bed. My parents would have left me the floor saying I was younger and fitter and need less beauty sleep. Obviously you don't need that beauty sleep!

Oh, I need it.
It just doesn't do any good anymore.

1. Going to have some faith and say 9:30.
2. Lets go Kali River Rapids
3. Churros.

Noted.

 

[Steppesister]

So you're saying I'm long winded.
Check.

Nope. Saying I enjoyed every minute (or I'd have been responsible and studied instead.)

And now you're saying I'm pathetic.
Check.

Nope. Saying you should get Dad of the Year Award.

You did say that... But you're putting up a valiant effort here.
I approve.

Finally.

We'll see... next update.

Why do I get the sinking feeling I should be changing my answer?

I'm not sure how that'll work out.
He has a gun.
I only have wit.
Well, half of it anyways.

So then, we have 1 Halfwit, and 1 Harley riding hawt chick, but wears Crocs. Great. Nevermind.

Prove it.

You tempt me.

I'd post more, but my dog just ripped a foul one, and I have to suddenly vacate.

 

[pkondz]

D'oh! Hope you heal up quickly.

Gettin' better... I think.
Doesn't seem quite as bad as it was yesterday.
Looks worse, though. The blues have changed to black.


And that was way more info than you needed, right?

Oh, they're real. And they're spectacular.

Who wasn't in lust with Teri Hatcher?
Anyone?

Anyone at all?

Hello?


<cricket><cricket><cricket>

Hey, look! Squirrel!

I tried that.
He shot it.

I was suitably impressed.

Wow. Good to know our border guards are tough on the rules!

Seriously, I'm glad you were able to get through.

The rule on their website states that customs just has to be suitably convinced.
I think he could see by the "deer in the headlights" expression on my face that
I was probably just some Schmo who was too stupid to bring a letter.

When does the Oscar ever go to the best movie? Ok, they got it right with Gladiator. That's about it.

Annie Hall instead of Star Wars.
Heck, English Patient instead of Fargo.

I have to confess, I've always had thoughts about jumping on too.

But when you see some kid on it, you think "Bad parenting."

I'm starting to think they're the best parents ever!

Yeah, but DME always has a bus there. Sometimes I've waited 20 minutes on the bus, though.

But I included it for completeness.
It really doesn't have any bearing on the rest of the wait times.

In FLORIDA?? No! You don't say!!

Hey. When even the locals are saying it's hotter than usual, then it's hot.

Hmm...By process of elimination...

Man, this is hard. I'm guessing you?

Atta boy.

Those aren't pillows!!!!!

Hey! How about them Bears?

Why is that even an option??

"Or we could put you down by the lake with the gators."

"How many gators?"

"Excuse me, would you mind terribly if I threw a bit of a tantrum here?"

Oh, goodness no. We wouldn't even consider the tantrum in the first place.
It's just not polite.

Thank goodness. I'm glad she had a heart after all.

It was nice of her that she thought of it.

Bonus points? Awesome. I guess I'll be making more trips to Taco Bell.

Enjoy your fine dining experience.

8:30. First number that popped into my brain.

I'm going with Expedition Everest, because it's awesome.

Let's see. I know you've had Dole Whips before. How about a churro?

Noted.

 

[pkondz]

The two don't immediately come to mind as being - shall we say - compatible.

You wouldn't think so, but when my back is okay, it's really okay.

As the patron saint of the DisDads would say…

YAAAAAAA-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOOOEEEYYYY!!!
http://www.myinstants.com/instant/goofy-yell/


Couldn’t resist… Sorry you got all banged up.
Glad it wasn’t worse.

Thanks! I needed that!

May not have been the best possible first sentence…

That's my daughter you're talking about!!

But immediately playing the trump card of parental incompetence may have appealed more to the guard’s sense of superiority.

You'll always be ahead if you act like your dumber than the dumb person you're talking to.

Good misdirection kid… throw the predator off the scent.

I surprised it didn’t blow out the last of your brain cells

Heck no!
Those are long gone.

Well, then, I confess, it is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out!

Gee! What movie could that be from???

Nope. No idea.

You really wanted me to get hauled off to that little room, huh?

That would’a been funny.
It would have quickly gotten you a date with mister rubber gloves in that windowless room you were on about… but it would’a been funny.

Yep. Just like yelling "Hi!" and accompanying that with your friend Jack's name
who happens to be seated at the other end of the plane.

you’d make an excellent American.
Ever considered immigration?

Oh, sure.
But it's emmigration that I'm scared of.

Unlike MCO
(so I’ve read)

Actually, we arrived at gate 13 and I pointed out the incorrect signage to Kay.

That just makes me smile…
Go on, do it again.

yep that just doesn’t get old.

It’s not that they do it that I find frustrating (I mean they in business, I expect dishonesty)
No, it’s that there are large numbers of folks that buy it.

Mooooooo!

"Oh, look Harriet. Isn't it wonderful? No more TVs cluttering up the seat backs!"

Coming from an IT background, there’s an old punch line we use when one encounters a bug or some lost functionality within a new release of any kind of soft wear. We simply refer to it as being a new feature.

I'd heard that.

Battle speed, hortator.

Dang. I'm at work so I'll have to wait until I get home to see the vid.

Your eyes are full of hate, 41.

Whoa. Going way back in the archives for that one.

No wait! It was just getting to the good part, how about you keep on this tangent until after the chariot race?

The rumours of the stunt man dying are untrue.

However.

One did die in the 1925 silent movie that predates this one.

See… if you didn’t have electronics, you wouldn’t have had to do that.
(although, not seeing the whole thing might actually have counted as an upgrade)

Hmmm.... I like that.
Since it's an "upgrade", I should make the most of it.

<ding!> "May I have a pillow?"
<ding!> "May I have a blanket?"
<ding!> "May I have some water?"
<ding!> "Could you take away this empty water glass?"
<ding!> "Don't need the blanket now."
<ding!> "Pillow's too flat."
<ding!> "Are we there yet?"
<ding!> "Are we there yet?"
<ding!> "Are we there yet?"
<ding!> "Are we there yet?"

You want me to stop bugging you?
How about installing a TV in the seat back, to keep me occupied?

I rarely agree with the results of most awards shows.
They’re about the equivalent of watching the kids at the popular table patting each other on the back for just how well they looked down their noses at the rest of humanity.

Excellent observation.
A Best Picture isn't the best just because it's different.

Flawless teen logic if even I’ve heard it implemented.

Oh, she's got lots of teen logic.


Lots.

More so an example of a young’en’s perception of exactly who and what is important.
(and who and what can be summarily taken for granted or outright ignored.)

The pay back comes with the eventual arrival of grand kids.
Then you get to sit back and just laugh…

<rubs hands in anticipation>

perfect… It might as well have been the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate award.

Nah. That's less insulting.

Well, you were on a fake monorail at the time so I can see her confusion here.

Good point.

Funny in general, but…
The fact that she played along makes it a major win.

And it didn't surprise me in the least.

Ahhhh… the first serpentine of the trip.
You have officially arrived at Disney.

And everytime I've seen them, they've been pretty much empty.
I presume there are times when the opposite is true?

Score! Well sort’a…
I’ll get points for it anyway.
You’ll just get more stairs to deal with (but I’d be finding the nearest elevator for the assents)

I'll mention that (if I remember) in an upcoming update.

I know not…
We were last on property in the summer of 2013.
They weren’t in use yet.

Ah. Those things are scary.
Makes buying crap quite painless.

Bless your heart.
Well, we are closer to the Sun, ya’ know.

This is true, seeing as the planet is an oblate spheroid.

Just another day in paradise to us
We still complain about it, but having so much moisture in the air that you can grab it by the hand full is just a normal everyday occurrence. I can see myself being similarly shocked if were I to hopped off a plane in your home town in mid-February though.

No deep breaths. You will freeze your lungs.
No. Not kidding.

I got’s me doubts about that.

I didn't say I wouldn't... just that I might not remember to in the future.

Well I won’t be so foolish as to guess that it was the teenager.
The Theory of Least Astonishment necessitates that I choose poppa for that one.

I'll go out on a limb to say that you may... may! be correct.

That’s the key Feature to our brand of designer weather.
When it gets like that (which is right often) , rather than referring to it as being hot or sticky or oppressive (which all apply) we will say: it’s very South’rn out there.

I'll have to remember that!

Yep… I’m well acquainted with that particular reality.
Well acquainted indeed…

Ah. Had similar experiences, have we?

That’s two.

Oh, shut up.

And this surprises no one

Yup. Least of all me.

Well, at least they did do that much to try and make it right.

And it was greatly appreciated!

Hummmmm… Let’s go with…

That would've been nice.
You noticed I included it, right?
I actually was hoping for an upgrade to a mod or possibly a Boardwalk area hotel.
But I liked the GF ver

Yes! I noticed! I was honored you used it! I would have come up with an even better version of being upgraded to Cinderella's castle suite had I thought you'd use it, but I guess that might be stretching it. Hope you're feeling better.

Just wait till the Donald gets elected and builds his wall...

Reminds me of a joke.
To avoid the No Politics of the DIS, I'll let you fill in the blanks.
Just think of two countries that don't particularly like each other.
One good, one bad.

The presidents/prime ministers/kings of two opposing countries are at a meeting.
Things are not going well.
There is much shouting and finger pointing going on.
Suddenly a Genie appears and, hoping to ease the tensions, offers them each one wish.
The leader of the "bad" country decides that he's had enough with everyone and just wants to be left alone.
"I wish for a 500 foot wall to surround my country! With no way in or out!"
The genie grants his wish. He then turns to the leader of the "good" country.
"And what is your wish?"

"Fill it with water."

Laugh it up, fuzzball.

Hey! Don't you have more important things to be doing??? Like maybe updating a TR that hasn't been touched in 2 months???

Ooooohhhh.... A low blow.
