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

[pkondz]

Be sure to drink your Ovaltine!

Oh, man! Can you imagine if she said that? I'd die!
"A crummy commercial?"

I think Nemo is worth riding just to see the effect of the characters projected into the aquarium. That's pretty cool.

First time we saw that, I was amazed.

Come to think of it... I still am.

Not at all. They're good shots!

Thanks!

I like Illuminations a lot. If it just had more pyrotechnics and less globe-spinning, it'd be perfect!

Never thought of it that way, but.... Yeah.

Nice photos!

Thanks!

Boy, was I way off on that one.

It could've been anything, really.

But yeah. You were.

It appears these things have some connection issues.

The issue is with the buyer, not the seller.

Something in gray plastic...a poncho? Part of furniture in a room being painted?

Noted.

I'm going with DHS. You mentioned wanting to take a bus there and then the boat to Epcot, and I don't think you've done that yet.
Rock 'n Roller Coaster.
Prime Time is off the list. So let's go with Sci-Fi Theater.

Check!

 

[KathyM2]

Since I forgot to try to guess your ADR...since I guessed MK for the park...I'm gonna take a wild one and say...1900 Park Fare

 

[Thumper_Man]

Hi Mike! I know you guys have been busy. Hope this next week will give you a chance to breathe.

Breathe?

Darn, I knew I was forgetting to do something. Must explain why I feel like I'm going to pass out all the time.

Man your trip snuck up on me.

Hope it didn't scare you too much. I'll make sure it doesn't do it again.

You guys need the break. I'm sure you'll have an awesome time!

I sure hope so. We are doing are your typical touristy stuff. Who knows if we'll ever get to NY again, but either way we'll have fun I'm sure.

I wouldn't do it now. For the same reasons. I just don't have the time or spare moola.

Well with all the trips you've been taking lately, I can imagine why you don't have the spare moola. So when do you go on your next trip and where?

Remember what?

Remember what, What? Did you say something? What were we talking about?

Well, I was unfortunately sober (no drinking and diving), so that played a part.

Well then how about diving and then drinking?

::

So much free time. How do you decide what to do with it all?

I don't. That's where Lady H comes in. She helps me decide.

Won't be too long.

It's been over a day. In the eye's of your fans, that's already too long.

 

[pkondz]

Since I forgot to try to guess your ADR...since I guessed MK for the park...I'm gonna take a wild one and say...1900 Park Fare

Umm.... Remember how I said the ADR was "in the park"?
Want to go with 1900 Park Fare still??

Hint. Hint.

Darn, I knew I was forgetting to do something. Must explain why I feel like I'm going to pass out all the time.

Nah. It's because Lady H takes your breath away.

Hope it didn't scare you too much. I'll make sure it doesn't do it again.

I smacked it on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.

I sure hope so. We are doing are your typical touristy stuff. Who knows if we'll ever get to NY again, but either way we'll have fun I'm sure.

We want to get there someday. Probably do the same things you do.
I glanced at an article the other day how people are charging tourists up to $200...
for the free Staten Island Ferry.

Well with all the trips you've been taking lately, I can imagine why you don't have the spare moola. So when do you go on your next trip and where?

Toronto. One week from today.

Remember what, What? Did you say something? What were we talking about?

Who?

Well then how about diving and then drinking?

No time! Well.... not much.

I don't. That's where Lady H comes in. She helps me decide.

Funny how that works.

It's been over a day. In the eye's of your fans, that's already too long.

Just finished the pictures a few minutes ago.

 

[TGM]

Noted. But as I just mentioned above, it's a never before seen photo of Disney.

Could be a Disney shirt, or poncho. You know how much I love the ponchos!

 

[pkondz]

Could be a Disney shirt, or poncho. You know how much I love the ponchos!

Noted.

And yes. I do!

 

[Tracy161]

so I headed off in the direction of Mexico.
The Pavilion, I mean.

Thanks for clarifying!

Oh, please do visit Key West some day! It was my family's favorite vacation spot when I was in high school and college so I went often with them. You'll note why I take many of my Disney trips... solo... these days

Oh, Ponzi, on the contrary, I LOVED your pre-Illuminations pictures! And your during-Illuminations pictures, too, of course!

Yes, I sashay.
But when I have someplace I need to be...
Very few can keep up with me.
I walk very fast and I scan for gaps and openings as I go.
And I use them.

We could SO tackle Disney together... this is my exact strategy as well. It's amazing how much bobbing and weaving one can accomplish solo.

LOVING the bonus points rounds... and frankly, it's what's keeping me in the game lately... Come on Tracy, get it together.

Oh, no! Oogie Boogie... boogied off?!

Oh, my. Hmmm... I'm going to say it's a cell phone in a plastic grocery bag in your camera bag.

I'm going to say you went to AK, went on EE, and had a ADR at Tusker House.

 

[Mac Brew]

Hi pkondz
First of all thanks for the freebie points shows you just ask and you may receive they really made a difference to my position on the leader board and now for my totally over the top guesses for the next park.
1 Disney’s Hollywood studios for the park
2 Star tours for your first ride
3 As you are treating yourself: - Lunch at the Hollywood brown derby with a Disney imaginer.
Great bamboozle of a photo looks like the back of a water damaged mobile phone in a grey plastic bag double wrapped to stop further water damage during transportation in a heavy rain storm in a Disney park.

 

[KathyM2]

Oh right...forgot that "IN" the park thing. OK then...I think you have already been to BOG so...not gonna go with that (may kick self later)...so....let's see....I'm gonna go with an off the wall choice because...maybe it's less obvious...the Plaza?

 

[pkondz]

Oh, please do visit Key West some day! It was my family's favorite vacation spot when I was in high school and college so I went often with them.

It's on the list. I'd love to... just once.
But this Mouse keeps getting in the way!

You'll note why I take many of my Disney trips... solo... these days

I hear ya.
Ruby and I went with my parents and sister to Germany several years ago.
I made a promise to Ruby that we'd spend lots of time off on our own.
And we did.
Probably saved my marriage.

Oh, Ponzi, on the contrary, I LOVED your pre-Illuminations pictures! And your during-Illuminations pictures, too, of course!

Thanks!

We could SO tackle Disney together... this is my exact strategy as well. It's amazing how much bobbing and weaving one can accomplish solo.

Just let me know when you're going again!
(Although now I'm thinking July 2016 to coincide with Rebecca's dates.)

LOVING the bonus points rounds... and frankly, it's what's keeping me in the game lately... Come on Tracy, get it together.

Oh, no! Oogie Boogie... boogied off?!

I was surprised to see him gone. I thought he was pretty secure. Didn't even notice when it happened.

Oh, my. Hmmm... I'm going to say it's a cell phone in a plastic grocery bag in your camera bag.

Check.

I'm going to say you went to AK, went on EE, and had a ADR at Tusker House.

Noted.

Hi pkondz

Hey, Mac!

You're welcome.

Holy specific!
If you're right, you'll really clean up!

[Steppesister]

I"m behind. Not *a* behind. Just behind.

Hopefully, tomorrow's will be a better catch up day. After class. And "other stuff".

 

[pkondz]

I"m behind. Not *a* behind. Just behind.

I don't know whether to say I'm sorry or congratulations.

Besides, there's only enough room for one person to make an a** of themselves on this TR.
And I've got that all sewn up.

Hopefully, tomorrow's will be a better catch up day. After class. And "other stuff".

I'm 88% sure I know what the "other stuff" is.

 

[afwdwfan]

[pkondz]

Hey! It's me!

 

[lilpixiebabe101]

Caught up. You know where I've been all weekend.

I was looking into getting Magic Bandits for our trip next fall.. But if they fall off that easily.. I'm thinking I may spend that money on other Disney junk.. Like Mickey shaped Rice Krispie treats! (No lie when my parents would go without us that's what I would ask them to bring me back.)

My guess is Epcot cause you said you always need more time there. Mission space? And not WS and not a usual one. I will say Coral Reef on the thought that you may have wanted to watch where you had been the night before from the other side!

 

[Thumper_Man]

Nah. It's because Lady H takes your breath away.

That explains it then and that she does.

Toronto. One week from today.

So chances are I won't miss much then. You'll be on vacation the same we are.

 

[pkondz]

Caught up. You know where I've been all weekend.

I was looking into getting Magic Bandits for our trip next fall.. But if they fall off that easily..

Well.... They don't fall off too easily... if they're small.
I knew even before I put it on that I was going to lose the dog one.
It was just way too big. No way it wasn't going to get snagged on something.
The Oogie Boogie one was pretty big too.
But I was a little surprised to find it gone.
So keep that in mind, I guess.

I'm thinking I may spend that money on other Disney junk.. Like Mickey shaped Rice Krispie treats! (No lie when my parents would go without us that's what I would ask them to bring me back.)

Rice Krispie treats! The best treat in this world or any other!
Yummmm!!!!!!

My guess is Epcot cause you said you always need more time there. Mission space? And not WS and not a usual one. I will say Coral Reef on the thought that you may have wanted to watch where you had been the night before from the other side!

Noted!

So chances are I won't miss much then. You'll be on vacation the same we are.

Well, I'm working on the next chapter already.
So pretty sure I'll have it up by the weekend.
But then nothing will happen while I'm gone.
Or very little.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

I’m baaaack…
(From the Caribbean that is) and needless to say, I’m behind in the proceedings as well.
So I’ll just have to back up about 20,000 Leagues and just keep swimming till I catch up to the rest of ya’.

Before I even get started,
I'm just going to throw this out there like a wet noodle flapping in the breeze.

Well… if they weren’t flapping in the breeze, then you’d never know when it was time to harvest them now would you?

I know I didn't post any bonus questions,
but there are still some...

Bonus points!

GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes – 1 point for letting the dogs… do what they do, 1 point for not commenting on sizes.

Cool! I got points for not doing things.
Wonder what all else I could also not do that might then profit?
Hummmmm…

And now... a message from our sponsors.

You too can have this info for only three equal payments of just $19.95!

Oh, poop. I already gave you the answer, didn't I.

And somewhere in the world…
Ron Popeil has his face in his palm.

Well, I guess I owe it to a love of reading, my parents...
and Jacques Cousteau...
and James Bond...

and Disney.

There’s a mighty fine list of influences under any circumstances.

My folks bought me a set of five books when I was little that I really loved.

Nice collection there.

My Momma (bless her) had a rule about Christmas presents in particular that went:
“Something for learning, something for reading, something to wear and something just for fun.”

As such, I had a number of very similar books show up over my youth.
And they had similar effects on my outlook and obsessions as well.

Dang my folks were pretty smart.

(I suppose a Mardi Gras mask would've been cool too,
but possibly not as practical for keeping water out of one's eyes.)

Nope… they’re designed to hide the effects on one’s eyes caused by pouring vast amounts of rather different liquids directly down one’s throat.

Around that time, Jacques Cousteau, (whom you may have heard of
and whom you may know as the inventor of the aqua-lung, the first scuba ever)

I miss those specials… Family television events they were.
Folks rarely gather around the teley as a family in the same way anymore.

And then along came James Bond and Thunderball.

Cue Tom Jones…
(the lyric made no sense, but he surely belted it out)

We may not have even had a TV at that time.
(Can you imagine???)

Yep.
When I met my wife (in the late 90s), I didn’t own a TV.
She is still shocked by that fact.

When I was in grade 12, one of my high-school teachers
(a certified dive instructor) offered to teach a dive class
to anyone who wanted to learn.

Not something that you see done in schools any more.
You’re a lucky man there.

I did it by keeping my mind a nice complete blank slate.
So.. my normal state of mind...

Beat us to that punch line.
Bonus points for Ponzi!

No! Not pressed up there! Get your collective minds out of the gutter!

Awwwwww…
But the gutter is where some of the nicest jokes happen to dwell.

Before we begin our underwater exploration,
just a few rules and regulations for safety, okay?

“There are a few, uh, provisos, a, a couple of quid pro quos.”

And now for something completely...

Different?

…unnerving.

Dang, wrong movie.

Let's talk about sharks, shall we?

“Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes… black eyes… like a doll's eye.”

Oh wait… not what you had in mind?

I wasn't planning on grabbing Dory anyway.
That sounds like, but isn't, a euphemism for something naughty.

So far as we know.

There are just two more things to cover and then we can get wet.

Which also sounds like, but isn't, a euphemism for something naughty.


(Whoops, I just missed an opportunity to “not” say something right there didn’t I?)

We were reminded that we would be seen by Disney guests and to act accordingly.

Oh, so many possible directions to take that one…

Did I not mention that I had video?

Not yet, but that’s very cool!

I'll admit that the first part of the video is a little hokey.
(which you could purchase for an additional $30.... D'uh! Of course I will!!!)

It’s Disney for Peat’s sake.
“Take my money… Please!”

(actually, that’s more Henny Youngman then Walt, but it works in this instance)

I actually couldn't wait for that part to be done.
I wanted to look around! Not be led around!

You rebel, you.

Which looks scary... but is essentially just a big puppy dog.

Good boy… Fetch!
Oh wait, this might not be the best time for that game.

But it (they?) was so beautiful, that I wasn't scared of it.
Plus... it didn't get too close. So, there's that.

Discretion is still the better part of valor.

But where were the turtles?

On the EAC dude.
Righteous!

Shhhh..... The turtles are sleeping.

Oh, sorry about that, I’ll try to be quieter…

Righteous…

I left them to their dreams of the EAC (East Australian Current.)

See…
I had it right the first time.

Where was I?

In an aquarium, I do believe.

I was preoccupied with breathing,
following directions and not being taken for a hors d'oeuvre.

Well if you’re gonn’a be preoccupied by something…

But I probably spent most (oh, about 85-90%) of my time...


Interacting with children.



It was So. Much. Fun!!!

More bonus points for Ponzi

Suddenly I realized...
"I'm swimming two feet underneath a freaking stingray!!!!
And blowing bubbles at it!!!!"
How much cooler can you get?
You can't!!!

That would be very hard to top.
Very hard indeed.

That was the signal that the dive was over.
I waved one last time to some folks and headed up.

Awwwwwww…

The dive was over, but the tour wasn't quite finished yet.

Hooray!!

There, Melissa had hot coffee for the adults and
hot chocolate for the little ones.
Boy that hot chocolate warmed me right back up!

Always remain one of the little ones.
They’re always having more fun.

Disney never told me that I had to have a partner
in order to do Dive Quest.

But.

Remember Melissa's husband? Who came along for the ride?
Guess who spent the entire dive shadowing me?

Talk about pixie dust.
I do believe you owe him all those bonus points you just accrued.

(we must have elves or something... I'll have to ask Ruby.)

You’ll pay for that one.

But the winner will also receive the rare Dive Quest T-shirt.

Very cool.
Good thing I back in the middle of the pack.
There’s no way anyone on our house could wear it either.

And that was my diving experience at The Living Seas!

And one heck of an experience it was.

Am I forgetting anything?
Ah, yes.
Must put an end to the whining and angst.

You can try but I suspect that going to be an eternal curse

Bonus questions!

Hummmm…
I suspect that you’ve already given out the actual points for this round by now, but…
I’ll play just for giggles.

1. I did do one more attraction that evening.
What was the next attraction that I visited?

2. I did see a nighttime show that night,
did I stay for Illuminations? Or go to another park?
(Wishes? Fantasmic!?)

3. At whichever park I happen to end the night...
how long do I wait for the bus?

Ooooooo… tough ones.
I’m likely to miss them anyway, so no harm, no foul if I go way, way out on a limb here…

1 - The monorail (well, I consider it an attraction).
2 - You rode the rails over to MK for Wishes.
3 - 45 min (it would take several busses to deal with all the folks leaving at the same time)

That’s probably one great big goose egg there, and… I am late entering.
I may need to use my “ask for points one time” card here just to catch back up with the rest of the folks in the middle of the pack.


Great update sir.
Quite the experience.


Now to go off and read the more recent update.
“I’ll be back…”

 

[TheLittleKatie]

Sorry I've been absent from the DIS a while! I've just caught up and I LOVE the recent updates. DiveQuest sounds amazing!

Oh jeez, it seems like I tried to "quote" too much and it removed some of my earlier quotes? I didn't even know that was a thing?! Anyway, I think most of them were just so that I could comment and congratulate you on the fact that you overcame your fear of water! They were some pretty scary sounding experiences you had, but it's so cool that you're qualified to scuba dive!!! I've not heard much about DiveQuest before, but after reading your update it sounds like something I'd LOVE to be able to do one day.. Although I'm deathly afraid of sharks. Even the photos you included of the relatively friendly looking sharks made my heart jump up into my throat! So maybe Epcot's DiveQuest isn't the place for me

These photos and videos are so amazing!! HOW CAN I BECOME A SCUBA DIVER??

I happily swam away from the group.
And pretty much right away came up on my first shark.
They were kind of hard to avoid, since they're always swimming around.

But a miracle happened.
The shark swam by, oh about 10 feet in front of me.
And it didn't even bother me.

Now the video that we'd be given later showed us this kind of shark:

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.

I played more games of "pattycake" then I ever have in my entire life.

Cute!

I started to make another lap over by the Coral Seas restaurant
and came across a reef shark essentially doing the same thing I was doing.
Only he was doing it in the opposite direction.
Now every other time I'd come across one of these guys, they'd been going away from me.
This one was coming at me.
Okay. No problem. He'll veer off soon enough.
He kept coming.
Any second now he'll turn.
He kept coming.
Uhhh....
At what seemed like a really short distance, he finally got bored and turned away.
I don't mind saying that it was a bit unnerving.

This is what my nightmares are made of It would be cool if had a little camera attached to your suit somewhere that recorded the whole experience from your point of view

I love this! I haven't seen this one before I have two from Animal Kingdom (one yellow, one green) pinned up on my bedroom wall, I'll have to keep an eye out for this one in September

And that was my diving experience at The Living Seas!

Loved it, thanks so much for sharing

Oh man. I love this shirt.

Amazing photos!!!

2 points each for Nemo and Illuminations.

Things are not looking good for TheLittleKatie..!!! I need to guess some bus times or something, grab myself a couple of 8 - pointers! (uh-oh, I'm getting competitive now) I think I've decided to start taking this very seriously

Anyone want to take a guess what and where this "never before seen" photo is?
I'll make it worth your while!

And I'll throw in some bonus points.

Which park am I going to tomorrow?

What is my first ride?
(No tricks this time. If you guess the right park, you should guess the right ride.)

I have a lunch ADR in that park. Where is it?
(Hint: It's not in WS and it's probably not what you'd expect.)

Good luck!

Oh wow, I have no clue what that photo is. I'll guess a chair wrapped in a plastic bag

As for the other questions, hmmm.. I was initially going to say Hollywood Studios, but the way you said "if you guess the right park, you should guess the right ride" has made me change my mind! So I'm going to guess:

Animal Kingdom
Expedition Everest

And for the lunch ADR... not what we'd expect..? Hmmmmmmm

I'll go with Rainforest Cafe.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

There's one thing I wanted to mention before moving on with this update.
(And I did warn you that it would be a short one. Well.... shorter.)

The theories of relativity come into play here, either that or string theory…
but since there are no strings attached to you, I’ll stick with the first thought.

Quite a few of you commented on the rule about staying away from the dolphins.
The comments tended to focus on a variation of the theme:
Dolphins nice, sharks... not so nice.

Nope… It’s probably more like:
Dolphins clever, sharks not so much

But there were two things left for me to do this day.
And the first one was just around the corner.

Dang!
That’s what I get for over thinking things.
Should have just gone for the obvious.


Something I’m fairly bad at though, so there is that.

We have no idea what it was that she said to us, but we both cracked up laughing.

What in my house is referred to as a “location joke”.
(Ya’ had to be there)

There's really no bad spot to see Illuminations, if you scout around a little.
Oh, sure, there are some spots that have trees in the way,
but those are easy to see and avoid.

The China pavilion also has massive rocks in the way, so that one may not be such a good choice.

But there is one thing you should keep in mind
when staking out your little piece of property.
And that's the wind.

A good thing to remember there.
With all the pyrotechnics that close to the ground level, smoke is a problem.

The crowds were already starting to line up around the lagoon,
so I headed off in the direction of Mexico.
The Pavilion, I mean.
Although if I kept going around the lagoon and kept heading south...
I'd come nowhere near Mexico.

Nope…
Cuba first, then Panama, out into the pacific and then smack dab into Ecuador.

But I've always wanted to visit Key West, so that would've been good.

You’d have had to make a right turn after a while, but I’d highly recommend doing so if you get the chance; a fun Island.

As it turned out, I found a spot along the fence just before Mexico.

Which also offers up a good escape route.
Nice call.

but I figured it would still be better than hand-holding.

(I reserve that for Ruby.)

You sly devil.

Okay, so maybe not the best pictures in the World,

All pictures are better than the picture you didn’t take.

Wait! Where are you going!
Come back!!!


Shoot.

I have prizes!

You think we can be bought off so easily?

<Phew!> Some of you stuck around.

Hummmm… Apparently, we can. Who knew?

Eventually it got closer to show time
and a good little crowd had formed all around the lagoon.
Including a family with two little kids right behind me.
I knew the kids would have an obstructed view,
but I'd come early and took the time to find a good spot.
Not to mention having set up the camera and everything.
So too bad! Come early next time!

Says the guy purposely spreading pixy dust?

Of course I let them in front of me.
They're kids for Pete's sake!

Yeah, that’s what I though.

Right around 9:00pm the show started and it was...
Well, it was as good as it always is, of course.
It doesn't punch me in the gut like Wishes does,
but I really do enjoy watching it.

For us the music is the best part. Well… not the middle section so much,
but the overture and the finale are some right inspiring compositions.

Yes, I sashay.
But when I have someplace I need to be...
Very few can keep up with me.
I walk very fast and I scan for gaps and openings as I go.
And I use them.

“Stick and move, stick and move…”

I arrive at my stop at precisely 9:27.
Just in time to see a full bus pull away from the curb.

“Missed it by that much…”

I was prepared for my traditional 20 minutes wait departure time,
but at exactly 9:30, another bus pulled up!
Score! Just a three minute wait!

Ponzi for the win.

Which brings us to...

Yeah, yeah, don’t remind me.
I was both late and wildly wrong.
Typical, typical, typical.

Captain_Oblivious - 3 points for 'frican laser beam sharks.

You mean like one of these…

I was down another MagicBandit.
Oogie Boogie, the bad guy from Nightmare Before Christmas...

The Nightmare folks just ain’t fairing so well here.

Anyone want to take a guess what and where this "never before seen" photo is?

That’s a tough one, there.
Sure looks like something in a plastic grocery bag, but that’s not very “Disney”.

Right now, I’ve got nothing.
If I see something in it later on I’ll holler out.

Which park am I going to tomorrow?

What is my first ride?
(No tricks this time. If you guess the right park, you should guess the right ride.)

I have a lunch ADR in that park. Where is it?
(Hint: It's not in WS and it's probably not what you'd expect.)

Something you havn’t done yet, and some place in-park, unexpected and requiring an ADR. Hummmm… Don’t remember that you’ve hit Test track yet, so I’ll go with that as the bases and say:
Epcot, Test Track, Garden Grill

(Can’t do any worse than last time, can I?)
