Canadian Buffoon's Semi-EPIC Vacation - 10/29 - Link to new TR!

[pkondz]

I'm glad you didn't either.
I thought I mentioned a couple things would be in the fridge, but then again I may be remembering telling the CMs two things needs to go in the fridge.

Nope. You didn't.
You said
"3 things"
I saw three things
on the table and
thought that was it.

 

[pkondz]

Great report.

Thanks!
And to the TR!

Don’t ya just love the people pushing thru lines with lame excuses?

Very much.
They're some of my
favourite people!

We were in Florida same time, but at Universal.

We were there too.
When were you in Uni?

We fly out of YVR on a US airline, usually on Alaska to avoid the whole Toronto thing.

Nice.
We seldom have the
opportunity.
Then again, I seldom
look for the opportunity
as I have point with WestJet.

 

[pkondz]

Yep, I remembered after I typed that out that we also met up again and rode Space Mountain together.

But you are right about the forgetting. I'm writing my last update for Day 2 and I've already forgotten half of what I did. Thank goodness for photos and also the brief summary I typed up as soon as I get home!

I get that!
I wrote notes as I went...
But that abruptly stopped
at a certain point.
(You'll see.)

 

[pkondz]

Can I skip both and go on more rides?

No.

I liked them until the arrival time kept getting moved back for no apparent reason.

Yeah, I get that.
And I've seen that.
But overall...
I prefer it to having
no clue at all.

That's pretty much our only option at this point, isn't it? Then again, I saw your photo of the lines at Rope Drop...

That was my fault.
But that still got us
on ToT (twice!) with
little to no wait.

Everyone knows what?

Oh, right.

 

[SimplyGoofy]

Why do you prefer it
at night?
Just the surrounding
nighttime lights?

I think it's the combination of the pretty lights and the even more non-existent lines. We started going on Dumbo during evening EMH in 2013 and did it again in 2015. We then head right to Barnstormer afterwards. We'd never spend time in line for the Barnstormer during the day (it's too short of a ride for any line if you're an adult!), so it's the easiest way to ride both rides in one swoop.

But maybe not LTT when
going solo.
Too much food!
(But sooooo good!)

Go for lunch! You can enjoy a much more reasonably sized meal for a more reasonable price. I highly recommend the burger!

They don't do it on the FP
line because the FP line
doesn't go through there.
I hadn't noticed it before, though.

Fair point - that would explain it!

I think we have gone through the regular line once or twice - I'll have to look for the posters the next time!

Makes sense.

omg!
Thanks so much for that!
I have an ADR for BOG
that I didn't really want.
Maybe I'll book LTT instead.
(I'll take a gander at the menu. )

I've been saying that about
lisps (or lithpth) for... decades.
I thought of it when I was in
my teens.
I know I saw a comedian talking
about it once.
"He stole my material!"

But you heard it here first, folks!

Actually I've been saying it for years also...
I was mentioning I thought I saw Mark mention it here, although it could have been you also.

 

[Kiotzu]

Wow, I've been so busy with job interviews, I missed this!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the theming of ToT

battle cry of: "My daughter. My daughter."

You should have responded by pointing and shouting your own battle cry "A line cutter, a line cutter"

"Are you sure?" She said again.

Were you sure you wanted to be there though...she needed to know.

a little girl sitting
behind us started to
scream and cry.

Don't lie! It may have sounded like a little girl screaming and crying but it was actually you!

standby line was already
up to 55 minutes!

That would be a no from me, I don't think I've ever waiting longer than 35 minutes for a ride. I'll FP and come back later.

Obviously, Babybel has paid
Disney a schwack of cash for
advertising.

So how much is a schwack? Is it like a chunk? A bag? A truckload?

got a Mystic Punch.

Well....what did it taste like!

We figured the only way to lose them
was by going off planet.

Good call, trade stalkers for storm troopers.

Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich.

Mickey Ice Cream Bar > Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich...agree or disagree.

 

[docsoliday1]

Nope. You didn't.
You said
"3 things"
I saw three things
on the table and
thought that was it.

Pulled up the text....just realized I wasn't specific enough.
It was a total of 5 things, but I didn't explicitly say that

I said, and I quote:
"3 things I wanted to do the first time we met
1 for Elle
1 because of a movie we both like"

The 1 for Elle and the 1 from the movie were not part of the 3 I wanted to do the first time.

I knew what I meant, why didn't you?

 

[docsoliday1]

I LIKE that! Great idea.

 

[Kiotzu]

I LIKE that! Great idea.

People love to break the rules but people hate being embarrassed!

@pkondz We were in Universal 4/29-5/9

It's a pretty obvious gag.
Someone else probably
thought of it before
we were born.

Probably the originator
of the word.

 

[pkondz]

Wow, I've been so busy with job interviews, I missed this!

Job interviews?


How is that going? Details!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the theming of ToT

I will (as will many others)
be very upset if they
change it to GOTG.

You should have responded by pointing and shouting your own battle cry "A line cutter, a line cutter"

Not a bad idea!

Don't lie! It may have sounded like a little girl screaming and crying but it was actually you!

Well... sure.
But I wasn't going
to write that.

That would be a no from me, I don't think I've ever waiting longer than 35 minutes for a ride. I'll FP and come back later.

Normally, I would to.
But on this trip, I was
deferring to Elle.

So how much is a schwack? Is it like a chunk? A bag? A truckload?

It's more than peanuts,
but less than a Bill Gates.

Well....what did it taste like!

How should I know?
That was weeks ago!

I think it was at least okay...
otherwise I'd likely remember.

Good call, trade stalkers for storm troopers.

They're more easily
manipulated.

Mickey Ice Cream Bar > Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich...agree or disagree.

Disagree.

I think.
Will make my decision
when I do a more thorough
examination.

Yep. I still have that text too.
I figured thusly.
"3 things"
1 for Elle.
1 for the movie.
1 for... mystery!

 

[pkondz]

@pkondz We were in Universal 4/29-5/9

Well, shoot.
So were we.
Part of that, anyway.

 

[pkondz]

Yes, I will confirm that 90 minutes in line for SDD was even a looooong wait in February,

although I was trying to soak up and somehow store that heat to take back home!

Ha!
In February?
I can understand that!

It was so crowded that day that I didn't dare try for a seat at the Lunchbox - maybe next time...

Always good when you
can say "Next time".

 

[docsoliday1]

1 for... mystery!

If I hadn't thought it might cause expense for you, I would've called you. The basic problem with texting...sometimes you think you were clear, but not so much.

I'm still really glad you didn't throw out the cheesecake or bacon!

It all worked out in the end.
Cheesecake did vanish
mysteriously over the course
of a few days.
