Ok, I know I said my next post would be about Crocs, but they haven't arrived yet...
Instead, I will fill you in on the very important Disney research that I did today. After finishing all of my annoying weekend errands, it was time for a treat. (Like my students, I tend to need outside motivation to help me complete my work.)
My motivation comes in the form of a cold, calorie-laden treat...ice cream!
My diet, the "I'll Start Soon, But Not Today," has been severely compromised by the opening of this temptation:
Yes, I very nerdily took a picture of the store. I can only imagine the thoughts running through the minds of the people in the car next too me.
Ok, here's how this mission was Disney related:
While perusing the boards, I came across the Official Recipe thread (or something like that). On this thread I read about how you could make a knock-off Dole Whip. Now it's important to note that I've never had a Dole Whip (yet another one of my Disney travesties), but I cannot wait to have one in July. So, I entered the store armed with my Dis thread ice cream instructions.
At Cold Stone, you order your ice cream with any number of ingredients to combine. I didn't personally think my ingredients sounded outrageous or anything, but apparently the high school student creating my knock-off Whip had never had someone order these particular ingredients together. She also evidently was absent from school on the day manners were taught, because she actually MADE FACES as she was creating my knock-off Whip.
How rude!
Here's what I ended up with:
It's a combination of cheesecake ice cream, white chocolate chips, and pineapple chunks.
OMG! (That's how my students would say it.) It was delicious! Now again, I've never had a Dole Whip, but if this is how they taste, oh Lord, I'm in trouble. So as you can see, once I've gone in July and had the real thing, I must return to Cold Stone and order another one of these beauties---for research and comparison purposes only.
By the way, Botox agreed with the delicious verdict...
And no PETA, I didn't actually feed the dog ice cream. The cup was empty.
Here's hoping my Crocs magically arrive soon

, arrive at EPCOT for rope drop 
I went to quote your last post and you had edited it while I was reading it, so I couldn't quote what I wanted to.
, I had visions of being banned from the Dis. So, I came back to edit my post, and who do you think was staring right down at me? I took it as a sign! 
) DH and I had been at the parks all day, and had come back to the room for a few minutes before deciding to check out the CL---which we had complimentary access to! I had only rested my legs for about 5 minutes, but when I tried to stand to go walk to the CL, I couldn't do it. I literally could not take a step. Whatever strange and normally unused muscles in my legs I'd used that day were staging a revolt. Now, wouldn't the sensible thing to do be to stay in the room and call it a night? Sure, but I didn't want to. I had visions of CL delectable morsels dancing through my mind, and I did not trust DH to select the best items to bring back to the room for me.

After marveling at the light weight of the box, here's what I pulled out. Let me know what you think:
rotfl: I'm worried about matching my cute outfits with my ugly shoes!) After seeing how light they are in person, I'm VERY worried about how dirty they'll be after a day at the parks. I'm assuming since their 'plasticky' that you can just wipe them down? Any Crocs expertise would be appreciated.
