"First rule of leadership, Princess...." ~Overdosing on Ice Cream

[Lady Lallie]

In six short days, in case you forgot , I will be saying to myself. NO COMMANDO. NO COMMANDO. It will be hard but you have set forth good reasons not to be commando.

Okay, obviously I hang out with middle schoolers all day because every single time I see Commando I think of something else! (Yeah, I would be the kid snickering in the back row).

I'm with you on Counter Service places!

Good decision to go back and swim - not to mention the electric lemonade sounds great!

It worked out well! The Electric Lemonade was my favorite drink there.

It's a hard urge to fight! Good luck!

Yep it was hard for me to put it in the title. Of course it always makes me think of the Friends episode where Joey puts on all of Chandler's clothes and then declares he is going "commando."

Yay for electric lemonade!!!!!

Yes, the CS places can get really crowded. Not having kids, I've never had to keep track of a bunch of orders, but I can see how that would cause a lot of stress in addition to having to navigate among everyone else!

Sorry that you lost two Cokes that day. Maybe you could get a CamelBak, fill it with Coke, and then just wear it! (Written only half-facetiously)

Sounds like a great day. That is great that Adam and Joey got to do EE 3 times in 30 mins! You made the right decision for swim and electric lemonade! Glad you got some new shades.

I'm sure DH has a camel back somewhere with all his riding gear. I'm not sure it's quite the fashion accessory I want to wear around the parks though.

There is more to the sunglasses saga coming up.

How could I forget that one!?!?

Great update! I feel the same way about counter service. I was once pregnant and in a wheelchair (long story) at the MK and my sister and brother-in-law wanted to go to Pinocchio's by "It's a small world". We went in the door and I looked around and turned to them and said "If you ever loved me, PLEASE take me somewhere else to eat!" STRESS!

I am a strong contender in the race for CS dominence!

Now, if anybody wants to take me along, I'd be glad to play "tourguidemel" for you and pre-order all of your CS and have a table ready with your meals sitting there! All you have to do is pay for my vacation!!

Any takers?? <crickets chirping>



But really, I can totally relate to the stress of ordering for everybody.. plus on top of THAT we're usually trying to be cheap and see if there is a way to financially squeeze the last penny out of whatever deal they're trying to avoid us finding!

All in a days work, I guess.

How lucky for the boys to get a chance to do 3X on EE!! too cool

Great update

 

[MAGICFOR2]

"Tourguideme" I love it!

 

[whogirl'smom]

We've never done CS at AK, but if it's anything like the crowds we saw at Columbia Harbour House, I understand! At least at CHH you're in air conditioning while you stand in the 30 min. line. This time I'm trying something new; since it's an emh night at AK, we're leaving the park for an early dinner at the AKL at Mara, just for a break. Then back to the park. We'll see how that works out.

I'm sure the Electric Lemonade was more soothing after all was said and done!

 

[irene_dsc]

Ack! CS flashbacks! I actually lost dh at Pecos Bill's - he tried to text me so I could help him carry everything, and then I couldn't find him!

Good call on going to the pool...

We enjoyed our meal at Pinnochio's but it was just before they closed and we were the only ones in there.

That sounds like a good plan.

I would have been so bummed about losing 2 sodas in a day! I'm sure the Electric Lemonade helped to make up for it though!

I don't think saving a table is rude either.

I am the same as you about being commando. In the moment, I am determined to get everything done in a timely manner. Afterwards, I regret not stopping to smell the roses!

I LOVE that episode!!!!!!

Every time I tell myself I'm not going to do it, and then I get all caught up in staying on schedule!

It's good you knew when to quit. Forcing people onward when hot and tired is not a good idea. Sounds pretty successful, minus the missing diet cokes. Great pictures of Everest!

I had a ton of those Everest pictures, I just stood there taking pictures while they rode.
