Expedition Orlando! - actual update! Nov 22nd

[JohnMouse]

I see you're staying in a Disney Vacation Club resort this time. I wonder if you're aware of the looping show about DVC on the resort TVs. It's hosted by a really cute woman named Casey. She's more low-key than Stacey.

Speaking of Stacey, since you were last in Orlando, Stacey's show has been changed.....it's now "Must-Do Disney", and she supposedly isn't as perky as she was on the Top 7. But she's still cute!

 

[LISAMWDW]

Thanks for the update on your show! It's on my calendar and I can't wait to see it!

But of course. :lol

Congratulations on the house!

Darn it I missed it!

Ugh! I remembered it up until yesterday...but forgot today! I see it is on again at 3 am so I ran downstairs to set it to record. The description on the guide said something about "two Scotts". Is that the right one? Perhaps it is different in Canada?

Awww,nope, it is not airing in Canada yet. Guess I will have to wait til next month to see if it is on the schedule.

Oh good! I'm glad I didn't miss it.

I missed it,Darn it!! I kept telling myself not to forget to set it up to tape and I forgot. Do you know when it will be on again?

 

[Wish_I_Was_At_WDW]

I saw it! Your house is great, especially the kitchen! I'm so glad they accepted your offer!! Any "background info" from the show you'd like to share? I love Property Virgins!

 

[Jennifer48]

Great choice on the house Kelly! Have you done any work to it yet? I think you need to post pics if you did! That kitchen is so big!

In need of refreshment after such a busy morning, I set my sights on Morocco, where I had heard of a most delicious beverage called The Sultan’s Colada. Our journey from Mexico to Morocco was long and strenuous, and of course we needed to make many stops along the way to rest our weary feet.
In Italy, we relaxed under an umbrella while drinking peach iced tea, which Eggbert enjoyed immensely.
Figs a-b

Temporarily refreshed (but still yearning for the legendary Sultan’s Colada), we continued through America to Japan. A woman had gathered a crowd around here so we peered in for a look.
Figs c-d

It appeared she was carving mythical beasts out of taffy. This seemed like black magic to me…I certainly did not wish to be around when her pink taffy tiger sprung to life and devoured the gaping tourists. We scurried on. Soon we were standing on a long line, anxiously awaiting my Sultan’s Colada! Finally it was my turn to request my beverage…and I was told that the complex machine that creates the heavenly beverage was broken. Indefinitely. I was devastated.

We distracted ourselves with a wander through a local museum, taking in the local culture, and ending up in a bakery. Mother purchased baklava, pistachio cheesecake, and a coffee with orange liquor. We sat and ate in the glorious café.
Fig f-i

Onward to France, as I was still being pulled by a strong desire (for alcohol). I procured a Grand Marnier slushie, and all was well again.
Fig j

We continued through France to explore the shops, and to douse ourselves in fancy French perfume.
Fig k-m

Throughout our meandering, I had a nagging feeling that I was forgetting something….soon I realized that we had tickets for a flight and would have to run to make lift-off! We raced through Epcot UK and boarded our flight to California just in time. Soon we were soaring over the great state of CA, dipping our toes in the rapids and flying right over orange groves. It was a lovely journey, and after landing, we strolled toward our next transportation adventure – taking a time travel vehicle through the history of the world! It was lovely to travel through the ages, although at the end a futuristic video showed us that in the future, I am headless. This was disturbing.
Aware that we were hungry (perhaps from the smell of burning meat while journeying through ancient Rome), we returned to the site of our secret mission, China. Beef noodle soup for me, mango smoothie and stir fried veggies for Mother.

Coming up – explosions, and the end!

HI all - here I am, frantically trying to finish my report before I leave for my next trip on Wednesday! Life has been crazy, which seems to be the norm these days.
Thanks to all who watched Property Virgins, hope you enjoyed it! If you missed it, I believe it will be on again on Dec 21. I will admit it was a little uncomfortable to watch because Jack is actually my EX-boyfriend now, and we're in the process of moving him out of my lovely house....Jeff is still here, as well as two other wonderful roommates (and two cats) so it is still a full house and I love living here! Haven't had the chance to do much to it yet though...hopefully I can put some real work in when things die down after the holidays!

I can't wait to see it!

Thanks, did you catch it? I have to admit it's kind of a boring show I was falling asleep when they were going on and on about FHA loans.

I see you're staying in a Disney Vacation Club resort this time. I wonder if you're aware of the looping show about DVC on the resort TVs. It's hosted by a really cute woman named Casey. She's more low-key than Stacey.

Interesting, I look forward to meeting the Non-Stacey! This is my first time staying in a DVC resort, woohoo!

Thanks for the update on your show! It's on my calendar and I can't wait to see it!

Thanks! I hope you found it entertaining! I tried to make it funny, it was hard though. I am not a very good actress! And I don't know if anyone could tell, but it was sweltering on the day we looked at the two houses with Jeff. We all look so sweaty.

"This episode of Property Virgins is brought to you by Disney Blu-Ray."

But of course. :lol

Congratulations on the house!

Thanks!

Darn it I missed it!

Looks like it will be on again in December...it's not nearly as exciting as What Not To Wear anyway

Ugh! I remembered it up until yesterday...but forgot today! I see it is on again at 3 am so I ran downstairs to set it to record. The description on the guide said something about "two Scotts". Is that the right one? Perhaps it is different in Canada?

Oddly the description on the guide was totally not correct I didn't think it would be my show but I taped it just in case and it was.

I missed it,Darn it!! I kept telling myself not to forget to set it up to tape and I forgot. Do you know when it will be on again?

I think Dec 21...that's a Monday, right? It's a Monday.

I saw it! Your house is great, especially the kitchen! I'm so glad they accepted your offer!! Any "background info" from the show you'd like to share? I love Property Virgins!

Thanks! I don't have any good info from the show because our circumstance was odd, they were shooting another couple and then at the last minute those people backed out so I was thrown in (my realtor works on the show, that's how they found me). So I was really well into the house hunting process already, which is unusual. Sandra was really nice and so was the whole crew - it's actually a Canadian company, they were all from Toronto.

Great choice on the house Kelly! Have you done any work to it yet? I think you need to post pics if you did! That kitchen is so big!

I LOVE the kitchen! We haven't done much work yet unfortunately, and it will be even harder now that Jack is moving out since he was my handyman. Luckily I have three supportive roommates who will help me figure it all out!

I have some pictures from the show, I'll try and post them soon!

Another great update! So sad about the Sultan's Colada.

I watched your episode too! It was great.

 

[Jennifer48]

What is this Sultan's Colada? Sounds yummy! Sorry you didn't get to imbibe one!

I'm sorry to hear about Jack. Its always great to have friends around. *hugs*

 

[LISAMWDW]

Yeah, I saw it! Great pick! I liked #1 and #3 the best! No, you didn't look sweaty at all! It was a great show!

Sorry about you and Jack! Sounds like you are doing well with it. Everything happens for a reason!

Enjoy your great house!!

 

[OhMari]

You did not abandon this TR did you?
Just saw all the exciting news, with the house. Leave it to me, to find out something like that, really later.
So, please give us a big ole update on everything.

 

[JohnMouse]

Kelly, I see it's been 2 months since you last posted. I hope nothing is wrong.

I would love to know when you'll be starting a trip report on your latest WDW visit.

Hello Kelly, wherever you are.

I see your What Not to Wear show is on again this Tuesday at 5pm ET.

And another thing--since you are an Alice fan, have you seen the new Alice film, and if so, did you like it?
