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

[TruLovesKiss]

Whoops I completely missed commenting on your last update. I'm bummed that my points total is pretty pathetic now but a quick trip to WDW to celebrate our anniversary is a good excuse to not be on the Dis. We had an amazing time but sadly did not see any Frozen Goats while we were there.

At no time did I notice or in any way acknowledge
that the dreaded hat was gone.

We were in HS on Thursday and as we were entering the park we overheard a lady comment that the hat was gone and that "Look, they built a Chinese Theater!" And yes, she was being totally serious.

We've never tried Prime Time. The thought of getting picked on my our server is a big turn off but maybe someday I'll work up the courage to try it. Especially after reading about your PB&J milkshake, it sounds delish!! That photo made me salivate more than both of the entree photos!

We just went on GMR for the first time! I knew it might be a bit scary for the kids, so this kid-free trip was the perfect opportunity to try it. We both really liked it. I guess it helped that we had a guide that we could hear.

Kay took a swipe at one that was floating nearby...
and cut it in half!
How the heck do you do that without popping it?!?!?
I do have a theory, but I'll let you form your own.
Or just go with "She's magic!"
That works too.

WOW! That's impressive. I'm assuming Kay has regular hands, and not ones like Edward scissor-hands, so I'm going with your theory that she must be magic too!

Hey where is your TSMM score photo? We want to know the final score and need some photo proof that you beat Kay! I was ahead of my hubby after the first three rounds but then he ended up kicking my butt in the end. I did have better accuracy though!

We got the Darth Vader sequence! I had no idea that even existed!
We were so stoked!

Yay for the Darth Vader sequence!!

Bonus questions, round 4!
Take a flyer on our park arrival time.
Did we make rope drop or not?

I'm going with a 10am park arrival time having you miss rope drop. Boo!

Pick our three FPs! Nothing weird here, but there are a few options.

I'm going with a triple Mountain whammy: Splash, Space, & Big Thunder

I do have a lunch ADR in the park. Where is it?
(Reminder. I was already well within the ADR window when I booked.)

I think you scored a lunch ADR at Be Our Guest!

What ride does Kay drag me onto against my will?
(I'm serious. I told her I didn't want to go, but she insisted.)

I think It's a Small World would be the obvious choice but I'm going to go with the Tea Cups.


Just for fun Joe & I decided to keep track of our transportation wait times during last week's trip. 3 days = 13 minutes TOTAL!! Now I think I may have waaay overestimated my guess and should think about lowering my number a bit!!

Whoops I completely missed commenting on your last update.

What?!?!? I am so insulted!

How could you? How?? How????

I'm bummed that my points total is pretty pathetic now but a quick trip to WDW to celebrate our anniversary is a good excuse to not be on the Dis.

Nope.

We had an amazing time but sadly did not see any Frozen Goats while we were there.

You didn't? Oh, that's too bad!
It's pretty much a make it or break it vacation event for us now.

We were in HS on Thursday and as we were entering the park we overheard a lady comment that the hat was gone and that "Look, they built a Chinese Theater!" And yes, she was being totally serious.

Although, maybe I shouldn't be surprised. With the stupid hat in the way,
it was hard to see that it was there.
Unless you looked way up when you got there.

We've never tried Prime Time. The thought of getting picked on my our server is a big turn off but maybe someday I'll work up the courage to try it.

Do try it.
Don't be scared by the servers.
They might kibitz with you at the table
and if they ask you to do something you don't want to do... don't.

Especially after reading about your PB&J milkshake, it sounds delish!! That photo made me salivate more than both of the entree photos!

It really was good!

We just went on GMR for the first time! I knew it might be a bit scary for the kids, so this kid-free trip was the perfect opportunity to try it. We both really liked it. I guess it helped that we had a guide that we could hear.

Glad you liked it. I still wish they'd update the animatronics, though.
And yes, being able to hear is a plus.

WOW! That's impressive. I'm assuming Kay has regular hands, and not ones like Edward scissor-hands, so I'm going with your theory that she must be magic too!

Hey where is your TSMM score photo?

It was stuck on my iPod and I forgot to get it.
Our scores were pretty pitiful though.
Kay scored 134,500 while I squeeked out a win with 153,900.
She did beat me (barely) in accuracy, though. 32% to 287%.

I'm going with a 10am park arrival time having you miss rope drop. Boo!

I'm going with a triple Mountain whammy: Splash, Space, & Big Thunder

Noted.

Just for fun Joe & I decided to keep track of our transportation wait times during last week's trip. 3 days = 13 minutes TOTAL!!

Whoa! That's pretty impressive!

Now I think I may have waaay overestimated my guess and should think about lowering my number a bit!!

You may do so. Others have.

Soooo DH came across something today. Due to recent discussion I thought it was most appropriate to share.

I'm not kidding.. someday take a cup of corn with melted butter, a small dollop of mayo and sprinkle some parmesan cheese the kind you would put on pizza. It's considered a Mexican style. And I've seen it in cooking magazines. SIL tried it at fair and liked it!
I'll have to check out the combo plate at Prime Time. Could order another entrée and still "share"
"Love in an elevator" will put my mind on Rock and Roller Coaster every time too!
I'm glad I could fix my previous post. Thank goodness for the edit option! Of course today multi-quote is giving me an error message. Really! I may be blonde but not....you know!
10,000 posts you make

 

[Saturn23]

Good thinking.
I'll get right on that.

Not too sure what kind of crew I can get with a budget of.... $0.

Oh I'm sure a lot of people reading this would volunteer to do it for free. Otherwise you can start charging for replies.
Humorous reply - $5
Polite reply - $4
Indifferent reply - $2
Read without reply - $1
Completely ignore post - free

If you play your cards right... you could be in first place soon.

Ok, what do I have to do to be in first????

Well the stupid formatting is messed up again... what am I doing wrong? Clearly I'm not going to get any points for computer skills.

 

[Saturn23]

Congrats on 10000 posts!!

 

[Saturn23]

Uh, oh. That can be a bad thing...



See?

But... OMG... On the ceiling???

Seriously. Stop doing that so you don't burn your house down!

But it wasn't my house, does that make it ok??


Well.... I don't know for sure what's in the shake...
Might be jelly... might be jam.
And I suppose if you eat your PB&J with grape jelly, that would count...

But I always have jam with my PB&J.

Always.

I never heard it called jelly until I moved to the US... so many weird things


So can Kay.
I'm not a fan, myself.

I knew I liked her, smart girl!



I picture you frantically spooning.

If only I had a spoon... that would have helped a lot. Picture fingers instead... and a lot of really strange looks. I didn't care, there was no way I was giving up my imported Nutella!


Hmmm... I've never done it that way.
When they were little, they wouldn't even do HM.
My favourite ride! And they wouldn't do it!

Didn't force 'em though.

They went the next time and were like:
"That wasn't scary at all!"


They're still alive.

Oh I never forced mine either, just talked him into it. Sometimes you just know they'll love something and they just don't get that it's not that scary.



Nah. She doesn't read this.
She gets enough of my "humour" or "Dad humour" as she calls it, at home.
Plus this can't compete with Youtube.

You mean she doesn't want to know what a bunch of random strangers online are saying about her trip?? weird!

More bad formatting!!!

Okay, you've convinced me.
Next time I have corn, I'll give it a try.
I thought you were referring (or are you?) to corn on the cob.

I'll have to check out the combo plate at Prime Time. Could order another entrée and still "share"

"Love in an elevator" will put my mind on Rock and Roller Coaster every time too!

Yep! Even if they did change to to Love in a Roller Coaster.
Honestly, I don't even notice that they changed it when I'm on the ride.

I'm glad I could fix my previous post. Thank goodness for the edit option! Of course today multi-quote is giving me an error message. Really! I may be blonde but not....you know!

Hit the computer on the side with the palm of your hand.
That always works.

Wow I could make so much... well, lots of... er.... uh... some.... umm... no money.

Ok, what do I have to do to be in first????

Just answer all the questions correctly, and grab the free points I give out.

Oh, and flattery works wonders too.

Oh, in that case, it's all good.
Burn away...

I never heard it called jelly until I moved to the US... so many weird things

You never watched US TV???

If only I had a spoon... that would have helped a lot. Picture fingers instead... and a lot of really strange looks. I didn't care, there was no way I was giving up my imported Nutella!

I understand.
Nothing stands between a Nutella aficionado and their, uh... Nutella.

Oh I never forced mine either, just talked him into it. Sometimes you just know they'll love something and they just don't get that it's not that scary.

You mean she doesn't want to know what a bunch of random strangers online are saying about her trip?? weird!

I know! What's with that!
She's to busy conversing with even more random strangers on weirder web sites.

More bad formatting!!!

Hopefully, my explanation helps.

so glad I didn't miss out on an update! I have a few thoughts here. first off after revisiting the ruby and the butter story I am thinking Ruby is one smart lady. a few mishaps at the beginning and now ponzie does most of the cooking? smart smart smart! that would NEVER work here lance is a great guy but not so swift in the kitchen... or maybe he secretly is
am I the only one that giggles about some of the most shall we say colorful songs in rock and roll play throughout a ride at Disney?

time to try to figure out how to get my tablet pics into photobucket or snapfish so I can bore you with grandkid pics...

 

[queenbetsey]

tune in when he posts the next chapter
same Ponzi time same ponzie thread..

 

[pkondz]

so glad I didn't miss out on an update!

Nope! Gonna be a few days still.
But I have tallied up all the points (well, except for yours, at the moment, but that's next)
and I have started working on the pics.

I have a few thoughts here. first off after revisiting the ruby and the butter story I am thinking Ruby is one smart lady. a few mishaps at the beginning and now ponzie does most of the cooking? smart smart smart!

It works well for us.
I've done the laundry a few times.
Oddly enough, some of the clothing got ruined... none of my clothes... but still.

Now she doesn't complain about me not doing the laundry anymore.

that would NEVER work here lance is a great guy but not so swift in the kitchen... or maybe he secretly is

So me telling you that Lance actually told me he was an excellent cook before he met you...

am I the only one that giggles about some of the most shall we say colorful songs in rock and roll play throughout a ride at Disney?

Actually, you very well might be!

and would like to re enter my guesses, I was a bit distracted and got my parks messed up

Fire away.

yes of course you get a brochure
and yes rope drop (I hope you got to see the opening show, it is a favorite and I so wish they did that here at dl)
fp: mine train,hm,peter pan

Send some heat up here.
Yesterday was nice (17C/63F) but today it's only 7C/45F.

time to try to figure out how to get my tablet pics into photobucket or snapfish so I can bore you with grandkid pics...

Let's see 'em!

oohhhoooo just saw that they were using magic band tech at space mountain here at DL... hhmmmm they were having folks tap the bar codes from their fast passes onto a tapstile... like wdw spacemtn is all the way in the back of tomorrowland. ours is tucked into a corner so it is a good place to try tis out....

So who had the magicbands? Were they giving them out somewhere?

now back to the best trip report on the dis

Atta girl.

will ponzie get there for rope drop>

I have a sneaking suspicion you'll find out fairly early on in the next update.

will he get that tangy citrusy bit of perfection known as a dole whip?

What's a dole whip?






Sorry! Couldn't resist!

will he forget his headphones on it's a small word resulting in his curling into a fetal position and requiring poor kay to get a wheel chair to wheel him out as he mutters, :no no make it stop, they just keep singing it over and over and over again:, *no wait that is peach at the end of the nemo ride in epcot*

Oh, the horror! The in-humanity! Oh Gawd! Oh Gawd!!!

tune in when he posts the next chapter
same Ponzi time same ponzie thread..

You forgot to type out the entire Batman theme song.

What's this personal problem you have that's holding up our next chapter? Are you finally getting that embarrassing rash looked at?

I never said OU(812)AT is more important than you. But watching TV didn't make me sick. For some reason being on the laptop made me really tired. I think I'm finally feeling better.

Except we lost one of our orangecats We have no idea what happened. Yesterday he would have been seven.

 

[pkondz]

What's this personal problem you have that's holding up our next chapter? Are you finally getting that embarrassing rash looked at?

Not a personal problem... a personal project.
I did a photo shoot about a month ago and hadn't touched it since.

I never said OU(812)AT is more important than you. But watching TV didn't make me sick. For some reason being on the laptop made me really tired. I think I'm finally feeling better.

I'm giving you a pass... but only because 1. you're sick and 2. you're in my harem.

Otherwise, oooohhhh.... there'd be trouble!

Except we lost one of our orangecats We have no idea what happened. Yesterday he would have been seven.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm guessing from your post that it was fairly sudden?

 

[orangecats2]

I did a photo shoot about a month ago and hadn't touched it since.

You did a nude photo shoot? Who wants to see that?

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm guessing from your post that it was fairly sudden?

Yes, we didn't even know that he was sick.

Saw the denitist today. $2200 in stuff I need done! I need some teeth pulled and two partials! Should I start a go fund me account?

When is the next chapter?

 

[pkondz]

You did a nude photo shoot? Who wants to see that?

Really? Really? That's where you went?
I write "I hadn't touched it since" and you don't go there?

That's the last time I leave something dangling out for you!

Yes, we didn't even know that he was sick.

Awww.... Sorry to hear that Carrie.

Saw the denitist today. $2200 in stuff I need done! I need some teeth pulled and two partials! Should I start a go fund me account?

Short answer?

Yes.

When is the next chapter?

Most pictures done.
All points tabulated.

Just gotta write the darn thing.
No idea when I'll get started on that.

 

[orangecats2]

Really? Really? That's where you went?
I write "I hadn't touched it since" and you don't go there?

That's the last time I leave something dangling out for you!

I'm not Lu! My mind doesn't go there!

Short answer?

Yes.

What's the long answer?

 

[pkondz]

I'm not Lu! My mind doesn't go there!

Uh, huh. Sure it doesn't. Shall I quote what you said just a bit ago???

You did a nude photo shoot? Who wants to see that? Me! That's who! Hubba! Hubba! Woot!

I rest my case.

What's the long answer?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssss
