Eat, Run and Celebrate- Day 7- Last Day and New Orleans

[punkin413]

In a mini size- that is a regular straw in there.

I didn't think this lived up to the hype....especially due to the size. Totally not worth the money you paid for it IMO. I think it was a couple dollars more the next day - Ray and I noticed things were pricier on Saturday than the were when we returned on Wednesday.

The best deal

I agree! We loved this. The white chocolate mousse was my favorite. And
we also got the vanilla soft serve ice cream with Grand Marnier. It was yummy too!

I'm loving your Food and Wine pictures!! But I just can't believe we didn't run into each other that day!

 

[Charleston Princess]

That's quite a dessert trio for the price!!!

Ah, dragonberry colada, how I love thee!

That's IT!!!! Glenn you get teh search award, because I searched it and never did find that article.

Just don't ask me what I typed into Google. (Actually, I don't remember, but I'm sure it wasn't good.)

I searched Morocco high and low and around and around and never saw it. Now that I know what I am looking for I will need to pay attention. I always thought it was a statue of some sort but this is more of an outgrowth.

I'm resisting the temptation to reply with Michael Scott's (from "The Office") favorite saying.

In regards to F&W, I can't believe they had the nerve to charge $7.25 for that little dixie cup sized drink.

I can't believe that myself, number one bird hater, has never even noticed these wires!!! So my next question is this: Why the HECK don't they have these all over Disney World???????

The only reason I can think of beside the looks of it would be that they need somewhere high to attach the wire to.

In World Showcase eating all that good food!

Surprisingly World Showcase was not too crowded then either. The crowds did build quick though.

We got this exact thing in France! I liked it but thought the regular Grand Marnier and Grey Goose slushies were better. This one was a little too sweet for my tastes. The milk chocolate creme brulee was awesome.

I have a bit of a sweet tooth so I liked it but I can see where the juice would be too sweet. The milk Chocolate creme brulee was indeed awesome.

It was a really small cup 3 or 4 oz at most. I did have something later on in the trip that I deemed the best bang for the bucks.

I meant to go back to get the ice cream but never made it. Hopefully it will be around next year.

Somedays I wish I could live there too.

I'm loving your Food and Wine pictures!! But I just can't believe we didn't run into each other that day!

Food and Wine is fun .... during the week. On the weekends it get a bit too crowded for my taste. Look for yourself in the background of my pictures.

That's quite a dessert trio for the price!!!

I got the trio last year too. It was a bit different but just as delicious. When you can't make up your mind , just get them all.

Ah, dragonberry colada, how I love thee!

I just wish it was in a bigger cup for that price.

Just don't ask me what I typed into Google. (Actually, I don't remember, but I'm sure it wasn't good.)

I can only imagine what would pop up - pun intended.

I'm resisting the temptation to reply with Michael Scott's (from "The Office") favorite saying.

That what she said !!!!

It was good, but pricey. No such thing as a cheap drunk at F &W.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Ooo, those do sound intriguing. What's a longboard and pipeline?

shows how good your memory is glenn i had one of those on my trip to maui.

very good, had a few more while on the islands as well.

taken from my TR
"well 3 hours into the flight, the flight attendant asked me if they gave me the discount and i said no but dont worry about it, she said well ill have to do something about that....and she ended up getting me this."

it was the drink served on the snorkling trip as well.

 

[glennbo123]

That what she said !!!!

You got it!

I'm so ashamed.

I recall that story (now), but I didn't remember the brand.

I am sooooo far behind on all my threads !!Just wanted to pop in and say HI!!!!

Mickey needs a cup 'a joe.

Maybe was at the late luau too and got all caught up in the bus madness.

Actually I have it on good authority that Mickey heard from a Poly CM that one of his guest's had lost her credit card so he took it upon himself to set out and find her and let her know where it was. After searching through all the parks until they closed down, he had a long wait before he headed off to the Poly about 1:00am only to find when he arrived that this mystery guest had actually returned and claimed her credit card! Exhausted, and no longer able to catch Disney transportation home, Mickey walked back to the MK arriving just in time to get ready for park opening!!!

Just in case anyone else has a contest- there are 7 FP machines for Soarin’ ( Marv)

Shhhh, don't tell anyone!!!

Back up and out by the Water ”up”

Always good to "water up" before you "liquor up!"

My first purchase- a Cosmo slush and Milk Chocolate crème brulee.

The beloved cherry colada

In a mini size- that is a regular straw in there.

There you go! Now you'll be looking like Mickey at park opening the next day!!!

It takes a lot more than that little cup. Sometimes not much more but usually more.

There you go! Now you'll be looking like Mickey at park opening the next day!!!

I was using my special training formula. I had the 5k The next morning.

Oh no you DIDN'T!!!!

Yes I did and I will be seeking it out in 10 days !!!!!!! The place in Morocco not anything else in case any of you were thinking something different.

Yes, but on top of the earlier Cosmo slush..........

Whew, I thought I was going to have to write "Oh no you DIDN'T" again..........

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Just catching up...I enjoyed the trip(s) around the world, and the menus looked pretty interesting. Although it seemed like there was a high proportion of fish. I'll stick with my cheddar cheese soup.

As far as your search in Morocco, I don't know how I can possibly comment on that one without getting into trouble. So I'll just say it reminds me of the scene in the Naked Gun...

"Seems like everywhere I go, something reminds me of her..."

I knew someone could help Glenn out.

You got it!

We would say it a lot when I was a teen. We could turn the word IT into something.

I'm so ashamed.

We won't hold it against you.

I am sooooo far behind on all my threads !!Just wanted to pop in and say HI!!!!

HI !!!! I know people are busy but you can catch up while I am gone in 10 Days !!!!!!!!!

Whew, I thought I was going to have to write "Oh no you DIDN'T" again..........

I typed and then thought....... so I had to clarify.

Glad you are around. I did not notice so much fish. My problems is trying to guess what allergen is in the food. I should really say in tolerance I guess since nothing will kill me but it can make me feel crappy or snotty.

You will notice that alcohol and desserts pretty much have nothing I am intolerant to.

It wasn't like I could go up to a CM as to see the structure shaped like a .......

Make my way to the Swolfin for the All ears meet.
Past Canada again

I walked through the Beach Club to cool off and look around again.
Lights

The bathroom in between the yacht club and Beach Club.

I like that they have hand towels.

Where the beach club and Yacht club come together

Mural by the pool restroom

Almost there

I will admit I was kind of lost in the dolphin

Even after consulting the guide I still got turned around a few times.

Finally I stumbled on this

My destination.

We were lined up to meet Deb Willis from Allears and it felt rather strange to be a fan. She was very nice and welcoming.

CONTINUED...

SWAG- They were giving these out.

It was here I was again behind or next to the mother daughter duo I have seen for a couple of days. I finally introduced myself and we chatted but I guess I neglected to take a picture.

I did my meet and greet and then decided to get back to the parks.
My attempt at a panorama of the beach and yacht club.

I went into the Marketplace and saw that they had the handy wrist cards so I got one and loaded it there. Those things are dangerous.

A Living with the land pin.

Back through the IG and through WS.

As I walked through WS I decided I needed to pick up a Mai Tai a the Hawaii booth.
For those of you counting this is three- Marv...

It was ….. Ok I like the Poly’s better.

Where am I heading?

Of course.

Wavy lights

Puddy

Walking out I saw this

WOW - I don’t know how she convinced someone to do that to her. On the other hand – I wonder if she knows???
I headed back to ASSp so I could catch a bus to the Wide World of Sports. I had to get to WWoS to get my race packet.

I get out front to meet the bus and …

Yup- Just missed it.

Us too. That's what made it funny on the show -- I hadn't heard that since I was 13!

Nice!

Probably one of those "it seemed like a good idea at the time" kind of things.

 

[Poolrat]

And here I thought our group made it up.

Nice!

A little wonky since it looks lopsided sorta, but thanks. Your advice to take lots of pictures helps but I still miss a piece. You can see the little black mark on the bottom by the buoy.

Probably one of those "it seemed like a good idea at the time" kind of things.

I have no idea but as a woman with long hair, it would take forever to completely grow out. I guess she plans to wear her hair in a pony tail for the next few years???
