Former Lasagne Lovers Meet Here!!!

[NC State]

I would pick 1940's. I think America stood together at that time with respect. The cars were cool along with the great movies. The movie stars were that stars. The music was something that everyone in the family enjoyed together.

 

[SwedishMeatball]

Mr. Man - you will be greatly missed. I completely understand, however. Please stop by once in a while for the fluff in stuff questions --see below

Inspired by NC State: if you had to pick a decade to live in for eternity which would it be: 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s???

I'd pick the 50's, and Elvis would be my boyfriend.

 

[Soarin08]

Ugh. Read back a bit here..... I knew this ugliness was coming once people couldn't talk about what is on their mind anymore. This is a direct result of the no political or religious discussion rule IMO.

I will no longer be posting on this board. Life is too short to be bored. I am insulted that someone thinks it ok to tell me what topics are permissible for discussion. I understand this is their site, their rules and all. But, I will remember this when making my next DVC purchase. My $, my rules.

I have the same user name at another Disney related site. That is where I will be (until someone insults Ronald Reagan anyways- or this site regains it's sanity.....hehe). BTW, whooda thunk crazy could be this boring?

Good luck to those I have enjoyed so many conversations with (on both sides of the argument). I hope things go well for all of you during these trying times and wish you only the best.

Regards,

Mr Man

I'll miss ya! Do check in every blue moon and let us know what's up.... please? Even if it's once in six months.

 

[breezy1077]

80's! Golden era doncha know

 

[studentmom]

HA!!!! yes, i agree that d'land is a must. i have to say, however, d'world has so much more to offer. i love the original, i'm hoping that california adventure improves significantly with the upgrade, but given a preference, i'd go to florida.

What she said

for me, hollywood is sorta gross...and you can see grauman's at wdw without all the creepy surroundings

if you wanted to see something sorta hollywood-related in CA, i would recommend the warner brothers studio tour, which is pretty good. and you can find some places to eat that were around in the golden era of hollywood, and that might be fun, but there is also an historic bob's big boy near the warner bros. studios which is neater.

other stuff in the area i would recommend are the getty museum, l.a. museum of contemporary art, and the norton simon.

if you went out to pasadena, you can see a hotel (now condos) which (to me) looks like the inspiration for tower of terror (castle green hotel), the huntington library..stuff like that.

further south there's legoland and the san diego zoo or the wild animal park.

it's all neat, but i might not make the trip here if i lived on the east coast.

and i'd like to change my weather report now. it is extremely windy and some of my patio furniture just moved a little bit.

What she said,...again..

Have you been to Legoland? I seen it on Jon and Kate and it looks like a lot of fun!

I haven't been, yet, but I really, really want to. I think they built that new aquarium. I'm not sure if it's inside the park or nearby. Do you know anything about it, Wonder?

You will be greatly missed . I am so sad that you are leaving. I do understand your reasons, though.

That's tough. I did enjoy growing up in the 80's, though. I don't think I could live through and eternity of 70's music (just not my thing).

 

[onelilspark]

I'd pick the 50s.

 

[chicagoshannon]

I think I'd pick the 50's too.

You will be missed. You have added so much to the conversations here and I have learned from what you had to say. Best wished to you.

 

[SorcererDonald16]

The juice is awesome. I will also highly recommend Donald's Breakfast at AK. The food was wonderful - dare I say I even liked it a tad better than Ohana.

We loved Coral Reef - was scared because of prior reviews on the Dining Board here - but we all had a wonderful dinner. As for Marrakesh - skip it and try Tangierine Cafe -- my sister, BIL, and I all thought it was 100 times better than Marrakesh (they have the desserts too).

I thought about Donald's, but I've read the menu and don't think we'd like a lot of the food, unfortunately. I have heard great things about Ohana's juice; sounds good. Thanks for the info. on Coral Reef, and the tip on Tangierine. I've never eaten in that pavilion, so I had forgotten that was even there.

I'm so jealous of you all with your ADRs and your planning I have no Disney trip planned...I'm *gasp* going elsewhere

Hah...and SD, you sound like my family...check out my dining report!! We planned the entire trip around food. Including our counter service!

I miss the days of when we used to just go and eat wherever whenever. Stupid dining plan messed all that up.

i agree actually. for me, there were more vegetarian options at tangerine, and it obviously costs less. the inside of marakesh is neat (but you can walk in and look at it if you want to see it) and they have the show (which is okay i guess), but it's tangerine for me. and the desserts are a must...fruity, custardy, deliciousness.

Thanks, wonder. I wasn't interested in Marrakesh's food, I just wanted to see the inside of it. Never dawned on me just to peek in.

I don't know too much about bipolar disorder. Would a person who shows symptoms of being bipolar start to impersonate other people at all? Just curious. Or is that schizophrenia? Is there a difference?

No, that's not bipolar. Bipolar is characterized by extreme highs (manic) and/or extreme lows (depressive). I had a neighbor a few years ago who was bipolar and schizophrenic; bad, bad, bad combination. A professor of mine said about a year ago that that's pretty much the worst combination you can have.

I remember the eggs being the best ever! I can't do runny eggs either - I've even been known to send back omlettes before if that helps

Well, I doubt it because I have no idea what TGM is .

Coral Reef is awesome IMO! We loved it - we had some service issues, but we don't tend to dwell on the negatives. Food - kicked booty

Dinner is AWESOME, again IMO. Can't get any better than awesome food, entertainment, and getting an incredible view of Cindy's Castle overlooking the Seven Seas Lagoon.

Thanks for your tips too, breezy. Oh, and TGM is Tour Guide Mike.

Those ADR's you guys have posted look good!

We have:
Crystal Palace breakfast
Tusker house breakfast
50's Prime Time Lunch
Whispering Canyon Cafe Supper

debating about T-Rex.

that's good to know. We are debating about cancelling it just because we don't want to use up our MGM time since it closes at 7pm the day we're going. I think we're going to keep it and see how the morning pans out and then decide.

Prime Time is so much fun! I haven't been there since 2005, but I really enjoy it. We always went just for dessert. Try the smores if you go. They've since cut the portion in half, but it's still too much!

Just popping with my recommendation for Whispering Canyon and PT Cafe - we didn't have too many ADRs on our Jan trip but we did have these two. The time spent at the PT were some of our favorite memories - appropriate snarkiness from the wait staff and delicious milkshakes [the food was good, too]. We enjoyed the WC as well - the roasted chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and seasoned perfectly [and I'm not a big fan of chicken]. The service was fabulous - we had been going strong for 12+ hours by that time and were grumpy and exhausted...our server pulled us out of our bad mood, changed the entire dynamic of our evening.

And wonder - salad AND onion rings - that's two veggies in one meal! Perhaps if you had a milkshake on the side, you'd have a properly balanced vacation meal.

Thanks for the review! We're going to WCC on our "off day," so we're just walking downstairs for lunch. That'll be nice.

We love going to WCC and having the endless skillet thingy. We always get stupid and overindulge. You would think we would learn.

My dad's getting the skillet, my mom and I'll probably get the overpriced ham and turkey sandwich.

You will be missed. I enjoyed your viewpoints very much.

 

[Disneycrazymom]

Breezy I was asking if you are a member of Tour Guide Mike. There is another poster there planning a June trip with a similar name - not exact but mine is not exact either there so I thought it might be you. Sorry didn't mean to confuse!

So far the planning advise is pretty standard stuff. I joined because this is our first summer trip in years and the last time I was there in summer I said I would NEVER go back so ..... I figure I could use all the help I can get!

 

[The Mayor]

I'll pick the 70's...gotta love that Disco music...Staying alive, stayin alive...uh uh uh I'm staying aliiiiiiive

I thought you didn't dance?? Now I have you pictured in a John Travolta white suit, pointing and swiveling.

 

[ravencotygrandma]

Very confused-feel like I entered the twlight zone. Not sure what is happening here.
Mr. Man- I will miss your posts always enjoyed your point of view.
Agent P where in TN are you located. We are planning on going to the Nashville tea party.
Seems like there is good news all around. Honu surgery went well. My husband came home today with no oxygen-he only needs to have PT at the house.
Going to have to go back and see what I missed.
Good wishes to all
Sandy

Glad to hear about your DH!! That's terrific !!

As you can see- there have been some problems. As to my location, let's just suffice it to say I can easily attend all 3 events scheduled in TN. I may make it to Nashville - I'll definitely let you know if I make that one.

I haven't been, yet, but I really, really want to. I think they built that new aquarium. I'm not sure if it's inside the park or nearby. Do you know anything about it, Wonder?

i was under the impression it was a separate part of the resort, but i'm not sure.

so have you seen castle green in pasadena? it sooooo looks like where they got the tower of terror look and feel. i went on a tour of the place in december 2007...it is now private condos, but to make money for preservation (it is historic), the owners open up their condos and let people walk in and out. it is really neat to see the old and beautiful architecture, and then how different people have decorated sooooo differently.

they photos on their web site don't look so much like ToT, but when you're there and can see the outside from different angles, you see the resemblance.
