Canadian Buffoon's Solo Disney Vacation - Update 07/08! pp99 - Here today gone tomorrow

[pkondz]

The photo - digging a plastic bag out of a garbage bin???

Wellll..... Not quite.
Honest. I'm not lying. BibbitybobityLu guessed it.
But... Where????

I'm guessing your next ride will be HM, and you were looking in your bag to see if the last of the HM themed Magic Bandits were in there, so you could take a photo with them on the attraction.

Noted.... Even though HM is in Liberty Square... which isn't open yet...
But if you want to go with HM, that's okay too.

Of course if you feel like changing your answer, you've got all week.

Don't have to.

Your ADR is for the Wishes dessert party (no one has guessed it yet, I'm pretty sure!)

Check!

First attraction when the rest of the park opens: BTMRR

Noted.

FP+ guesses...HM, Jungle Cruise, BTMRR?

Check!

Can I get bonus points for being pitifully behind?

Sure. No problemo.

Lord love a duck! I find myself with pen, paper, highlighter and coffee, sitting here trying to figure out a few simple and fun questions....must concentrate... Oh wait, I think I found the answer to # 3 in the Farmer's Almanac....

See? Research pays off.

Knew I should have guessed Tonys town square. Be back later for the rest. Typing is just too hard with the phone.

That'll learn ya.

I love checking the DIS on my iPod... but absolutely refuse to comment with it.
It's almost impossible.

 

[lilpixiebabe101]

Sneaky sneaky talking about the love of Epcot that needs two days.. Hence my choice of Epcot for this day..

I'm going to guess CP... Cause I'm pretty sure it wasn't guessed.

And Splash because it will finally be open!!

FP+ umm 7DMT, Pooh, and BTMRR.

Sorry about that!

Noted.

Check.

FP+ umm 7DMT, Pooh, and BTMRR.

And noted.

 

[ursalita]

I want to check in for my WestJet flights.
I can check in 24 hours in advance and I want to book the Plus seat again, if I can.

You are so smart!! I was completely on top of checking into my flight before we left but totally forgot the return flight because of, you know, Disney magic.

(had enough?)

Never!!

I turn. I trot down the hall and climb one more flight of stairs.
I go to the room above the one I was trying to enter.
Swipe! <click> I'm in!

Halfway to the stairs, I slam on the brakes and do a 180.
Run back to the room <swipe><click!>, grab my glasses

I'm frantic just reading about it.

Before the overly-stuffed bus has even left,
another one pulls up!

Sweet!

I could ride the carrousel...
but there's just no way a grown man can ride that by himself
and still maintain a shred of dignity.

For the contest:

1: Bin in your room
2: Pirates
3: LTT
4: Splash
5: FoF

 

[pkondz]

You are so smart!! I was completely on top of checking into my flight before we left but totally forgot the return flight because of, you know, Disney magic.

Oh, yeah. If I'm so smart, how come I didn't think I'd need my credit card?
Or why did I try to open someone else's door?

Never!!

:

I'm frantic just reading about it.

I might've been just a little frantic too.

Sweet!

And if I hadn't gone back to the room, I would've been standing, squished,
on that first bus.

For the contest:

1: Bin in your room

Nope. Not in my room.

2: Pirates

Noted... Although Pirates is not open for Morning EMH either... so...
Wanna guess again?

3: LTT

Noted. But Andy (afwdwfan) already guessed it.
That's gonna cost you.
Wanna try again?

4: Splash

Check.

5: FoF

Noted.

[ursalita]

Nope. Not in my room.

Disney bus???

Noted... Although Pirates is not open for Morning EMH either... so...
Wanna guess again?

Jungle cruise?

Noted. But Andy (afwdwfan) already guessed it.
That's gonna cost you.
Wanna try again?

This so stressful!! So LTT is wrong? Andy is really good at this so I'll stick with it.

 

[irene_dsc]

Noted.... Even though HM is in Liberty Square... which isn't open yet...
But if you want to go with HM, that's okay too.

Of course if you feel like changing your answer, you've got all week.

Ack. I forgot where the boundaries were, and was trying to connect why you were looking for something to your next ride decision!

So, I'll go to one of my earlier thoughts - Winnie the Pooh! But now I have no idea what you needed in your bag!

 

[pkondz]

It just doesn't get any easier, does it? *softly playing sad background music*

Nope. It doesn't.
Now I'm hearing the theme from The Godfather in my head.

Well, turns out my skills at internet shopping, combined with a dab of lazy, have ensured that I have memorized my CC number. That skill would have come in handy, but you did well!

I might have done that... except I just recently changed cards!

But I must admit... there was a small part of me that was thinking
"This will go in the TR."

Ok, but that would have made for a very interesting update if you had been successful...

Like this?

I opened the door and... I was done.
The excitement of making rope drop was gone.
There was no way I was going to make rope drop now, so why even try.
I crawled back into bed, tucked my hands between some nice warm pillows and closed my eyes.
As I was about to drop off to sleep, a nagging thought started to bother me.

Why were the pillows warm?

And then... they moved.

Some of my clothing seems to get more defectiver over the years as well. Do you think this is a Canadian issue?

I believe it has something to do with us being closer to the hole in the ozone layer.

Lol - I'd guess 10% of my tweets express this sentiment to some degree.

I have never yet had the opportunity to see the Welcome show. It appears that I will have to re-evaluate some of my Disney priorities. Like sleep.

Sleep?

What is this "sleep" that you speak of?

I have also never passed a group of sashayers in the morning. Likely because most of us sashayers sleep later. And I'm usually in the midst of the group, so can't see the group from the interior.

Can't see the trees for the forest?

Oh, that would be just the best!

I've lucked out once with HM stalling at the dining room/ballroom scene.
This would be almost as good?
Maybe better?

Tough call.

Darn, broke my streak last visit. But I survived.

I really don't know if I'll ever break that streak!

I've also never been on the carousel. It seems a bit odd to do that ride alone. Plus it's so rude to push the children off of my - I mean Cinderella's horse.

Nah. Survival of the fittest.
It's best they learn these things in a nurturing environment like Disney.

You have been most benevolent!
If you are still offering the chances for points, I will take you up on that chance, as long as it's not causing you too much judging and tallying energy.

No problem. You got 'em.

I'll put in my generally inept guesses so I have more time later to say "of course!" as I read other astute suppositions.

1. the inside of the garbage can in the lobby of the ASMu

Hmmm.... Hmmmm......


Yup. Okay. I'll give it to you.

The inside of the garbage can at ASMU.
It wasn't in the lobby, but outside of Jazz section.
I said "General location" and that's close enough.

2. Pirates Of The Caribbean

Noted... Although Pirates is not open for Morning EMH either... so...
Wanna guess again?

3. Liberty Tree Tavern

Noted. But Andy (afwdwfan) already guessed it.
That's gonna cost you.
Wanna try again?

4. BTMMR

Noted.

5. 7DMT, Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain (since it's the last day?)

Noted.

Hope you have a great time in Toronto!

Thanks!

 

[pkondz]

See? Already saying D'oh! PoC not open during EMH, and I didn't know that LTT was the abbreviation for Liberty Tree Tavern. *newbie problems*

All right, I won't deduct points for LTT from you... this time.
But.
Care to re-guess for ride and ADR?

Disney bus???

Nope. DonnaBeeGood already got it.

Jungle cruise?

Here is a list of attractions open during morning EMH.
Please pick one of these!

Astro Orbiter
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Enchanted Tales with Belle
IASW
Mad Tea Party
Magic Kingdom Welcome Show (already done)
Meet Anna and Elsa
Meet Ariel
Meet Cinderella and Rapunzel
Mickey's PhilharMagic
Peter Pan's Flight
Prince Charming Regal Carrousel
7DMT
Space Mountain
Stitch
The Barnstormer
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Tomorrowland Speedway
Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover (WEDway dang it!)
Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid (closed for renovations)
Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress

This so stressful!! So LTT is wrong? Andy is really good at this so I'll stick with it.

Ummm... LTT is definitely wrong.
Anything already guessed is wrong.
So no LTT, BOG, The Plaza, CRT or CHH.

Still want to stick with it?

Ack. I forgot where the boundaries were, and was trying to connect why you were looking for something to your next ride decision!

So, I'll go to one of my earlier thoughts - Winnie the Pooh! But now I have no idea what you needed in your bag!

The something, and why, will become extremely evident in the next update.
Note your guess for Pooh.
(Maybe I needed a jar to scoop up some honey?)

 

[pkondz]

Okay, just for those of you who may not know (I'm also going to edit the update)
DonnaBeeGood has guessed the picture location.

It's the inside of a garbage at ASMU.
I blurred out the papers in there in case it was something private.

 

[DonnaBeeGood]

.

 

[pkondz]

Again, very benevolent of you, but it's only fair that all of these other fine DISers get their fair chances, and a chance to show off their smarts! I'll watch and learn

Okey dokey.

 

[Mac Brew]

Helo Pkondz, At lest when you were racing the crowds you did not have to worry about leaving the family behind .Luky I got two points again I will have to try for some more here are my guesses.
1 :- Your next ride is The Barnstormer
2 :- Your ADR is for the Crystal Palace
3 :- Your next ride when the full park opens is Splash Mountin
4 :- Your three fast passes are 7DMT , POTC and BTMR.

Have a great weeks on holiday in Toronto

 

[ursalita]

I have no idea on the ride. Pooh?

CP?

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

The Last Day.

Boo! Not happy about that!

Oh my God I GOT WATER ALL OVER THE FLOOR!!!

When will you men learn to aim! Oh...from the shower...gotcha...

I prevaricated for a couple of seconds.
Should I stay? Or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble... making rope drop.
Geez, geez, geez.

My thoughts and emotions clash...

Always, always try to do it at your own room.

Yes please just do it in your own room! NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT!

(I can see you now. Some of you are fist pumping for guessing right.
Others are hanging their heads in dismay.)

Moo.

And then this one, which I kinda like.
It would be awesome if I'd known who that boy was, but... ah well.
("And this is a shot of my nephew, Kyle.
Which is weird because I don't even have a nephew.
And don't know anyone named Kyle.")

I still like it.

Maybe he is Bobby's nephew...

Still plenty of time before they let the riff raff in.

How did you get in then???

It doesn't seem like such a big thing, does it?

Was it cold in there too?

I could ride the carrousel...
but there's just no way a grown man can ride that by himself
and still maintain a shred of dignity.

But you don't have any dignity....or a man card...

Oh, I don't have any left. It was just a general comment.

Or any to start with....

I glanced up and.... gahhh!!!!

You misspelled Woohoo...just pointing out that error...

@BibbitybobityLu - 8 points (look up UK definition of bin)

Now if only someone could tell me where the photo was taken.
And just so I'm sure you've got it, tell me again what it is.

Ahhhh!! Damn I forgot to say where it was!! I was going to say at ASMu!
But hey at least my classiness paid off and I recognised the bin!!

BibbitybobityLu - 2 points for killer porpoises. 4 points for being awesome where it counts.

And by where it counts you mean everywhere of course!

BibbitybobityLu - 28 points

Wow how did that happen?? Okay so maybe you really don't what that nameless prize!

1. What's the next ride? Anyone guessing any part of the park that's still closed,
since I just told you, gets points deducted!
(Hint: Not one you'd expect.)

IASW!!!!!!!!!!! It has to be!!

No?

Really?

Oh...

Okay then....Mad Hatter's Tea Party...

2. And still ongoing... where is that ADR.
(Hint: In MK... and again, not what you'd expect.)
Those unlucky to have picked the wrong park, get a second chance.
Am I not benevolent?
Anyone guessing a previously guessed restaurant.... deductions for you!

I'm going to say...the Plaza...cause no one said that yet...I don't think...

3. First attraction visited when the rest of the park opens.
(Hint: It's in the part that opens... Hello!)

Mind out of the gutter...

Erm...Big Thunder

4. I do have FP+s. Three of them. In MK.
Two are for things I've already done at MK this trip.
One is for something new.
Name any or all. It's up to you.

Hmmmm.....
Splash, Space and..........Dumbo??

There. That should keep you busy while I'm gone.
Behave yourselves and play nice.

Well, except for those of you who play dirty.
(You know who you are.)

I have no idea who you could possibly be talking to...

 

[KathyM2]

Wahooo! I got pity points!!! Awesome!! I love the suspense with you getting to 7DMT lol...and your strategy worked out perfectly!! It's really too bad they don't open more of the park for EMH...makes it hard to get all your faves in during that low crowd time. But you are doing pretty well so far!! I would have gone on PP again if the line was still manageable at that point!!

 

[cinderkelly]

Oh the last day blues..... I hate that swingy paper thingy...ding, ding you're time is up, get out.

Ok, at least I got the Park right! Yea! It's a start

Next ride: Astro Orbiter cuz you want to fly like an Eagle

ADR : Crystal Palace cuz you can't ever have enough Pooh....and friends at DW

First ride when the rest of the park opens : tomorrow land speedway so you can pretend to be SpeedRacer

Fastpasses : BTMRR, Splash, and HM ( edited for short term memory loss)

 

[jandlinz]

Great update! I love the pictures of the mine ride. We have yet to do it, but it looks awesome. That was so nice of you to help that mom find the way there. I bet it was great to beat the crowd!
My guesses are:
Dumbo-ride before the entire park opens.
Splash-ride when park opens
FP-BTMR, HM, Splash
ADR:wishes dessert party (secretly hoping it's this since I want to see pictures and hear if it would be worth it).
