I am SOOOO with you!! I can't stand it when people O/D on the perfume and cologne. It's awful when you are trying to eat..
Loving this trip report, by the way!!

Funny you mention that...Dan and I had dinner out last night and the dude in the booth behind us literally bathed in cologne. It was difficult to eat.kimbac3 said:I am SOOOO with you!! I can't stand it when people O/D on the perfume and cologne. It's awful when you are trying to eat..

I'm very sad that you don't have a picture of Matthew- I'm pretty sure he's the same tour guide CM that I decided I needed to marry a few years ago, but never got around to proposing to!
Thanks for giving me something amusing to read at work!

Razzin-Frazzin...can't upload photos until I get my post count up to some unspecified number.
Consider this is a mercy post/reply...uh...that didn't come out right...I meant here are some insightful comments on your TR update!
Jungle Cruise? People still ride that? Do they also climb that tree?
As to the great view at the WL - wish you posted/said something about this earlier. No - you wait until after I return from WDW! Now they'll have gobs of requests for that specific table.
BTW - we got a character dinner without reservations, pleading, or resorting to unspecified more devious means of entry. We asked nicely - and it worked! No death threats, bribes, etc. Got'ta agree though that simply asking sort of takes the fun out of it and makes for a boring TR.
In my TR we'll have flashing, cutlass swinging, cannon fire, ya-da ya-da.

Yay more installments!! katiesmomluvsdizne, ah you are wise to listen to my tales. Take good notes, for I have more wisdom on the way...
Cass, it's true. People get naked and do bad things in Disney. Most people, however, do it in private.
Maxbon, welcome to my TR! Any relation to Loubon?
kimbac3, glad you're still hanging in there! I do plan on finishing this SOON.
Pollito916, welcome! And congrats on your pregnancy!
WDW Poly Princess, umm...Matthew was perky and fabulous, but wasn't exactly the marrying type, though. Maybe there are two Matthews?
OneMoreStitch, hey thanks for subscribing!
Cap'n Keel, should have known you'd jump all over the undressing woman part. And apparently LOTS of people do the Jungle Cruise. On purpose.

Hey Mal!
Part 1. Finger-lickin good cookies!
We waited at the gates of MGM with the rest of the yahoos at 8:45. They make you think theyre letting you in early, but theyre not. Theyre just allowing you to go through the turnstiles a few minutes early and then they rope off the middle of Hollywood Boulevard. The shops arent open yet, so we cant worm our way through the shops to escape the rope people. My, this park is getting crowded so early. Well, at least the sun it out. It looks to be a promising day here at MGM. (Crosses fingers)
Then the loudspeaker kicks on. Actually, I have never been a part of an actual park opening like this. Ive been in the park when it officially opened for breakfasts or tours, but this is actually a first for me.
So the music starts and the rope people are slowly backing up, letting us into the park a foot at a time, and a few characters come out, waving their hands and urging us into the park. Well, we would if you people would drop the friggin rope! Stop teasing us!
The rope finally drops and were off! Dan and I beeline right for the Rock N Roll Roller Coaster. Once we get there, Im trying to convince him to get a fastpass so we can use it later. I tried to be quick about telling him this because in the meanwhile, hordes of people are shuffling past us and getting into the line ahead of us. Im trying to communicate to him that once the timeframe is up, we can get more fastpasses for later. Its genius, I say! Genius!
But the CM who was babysitting the Fastpass machines said not to bother because the fastpasses were valid for the next hour and we had to use them during the timeframe allotted. Well, I know that isnt true, but Dan didnt, so he told me never mind, lets get on the ride now. I wanted to scream, Cant you see shes lying to you? Dont you trust your lovely wife whos been reading the DISboards since she was six? Trust me we can use those fastpasses at any flipping time today! And then we can get more later!
But instead I give up, sigh, sneak a nasty look at the CM, and follow him in.
Whoosh! We are in and out like nobodys business. This is a great way to start the day. Once we came outside again, the line is a little longer, but not much. We head right back into the line.
Dan needs a cigarette break after the second ride (yelling, This is my favorite ride! all the way through), and the park was still relatively quiet, so I decide to take my Pal onto Tower of Terror. Actually, I have to. I havent been on ToT this entire trip! But Pal Mickey doesnt want to go on. Uhh, were not going on that next are we, pal?
The line is 5 minutes long, if that. Before we enter the library, I tiptoe away from the group take a peek at the letters that have fallen at the bottom of the message board Evil Tower U R doomed. I hear that those letters have been taken away, but I hope not. I love the hidden Disney touches around the park.
So I get on the elevator and Im clutching my Pal and the ride starts. Up, down, up, down. I love this attraction, it is such a rush. So the random drops eventually stop and we slowly descend to the bottom of the shaft. The elevator doors open, and the four ghosts waved at us. The next thing I knew, the elevator doors shut and we go zipping straight back up! Everyone was whooping and laughing. Talk about unexpected! Tower of Terror ROCKS!
When I walk off of the ride, my knees are shaking from that adrenaline-rush feeling. I was SO ready to tackle anything else.
Dan and I stop at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard to collect our thoughts. Okay, fine! We stopped so Dan could spark one up! So Im standing there and waiting for Dan to finish his coffin nail and Im staring into the Beverly Sunset Bakery window, watching some nice old lady making cookies. Ah, isnt this a lovely scene? Dan with his cancer stick, me with my Pal, and this nice old lady stirring cookie batter to make lots of yummy Disney cookies.
When she finished stirring and started pouring the vat of cookie batter into another container, one of her gloves fingers accidentally got saturated with cookie batter.
No she isnt no way
Pop! The finger disappears into her mouth. A second later, the finger comes out and all of the cookie batter is completely gone.
That finger isnt going back to the no way oh dear god thats disgusting
That same nasty finger that was covered with her DNA goes back to holding the cookie batter bowl. And yes, more cookie batter passed over that goob-covered finger. Then, as if checking to see if she got away with it, she slowly turned her head toward the window and as soon as she made eye contact with us, her head snapped back to the bowl. She did not turn around again or put that nasty finger back in her mouth.
Umm Dan said. Did you just see her lick her finger and put it back on the bowl?
I saw her suck her finger and put it back on the bowl.
Thats disgusting.
Uh, yeah. Yes it is, Danny Boy.
I dont want to eat any of their cookies.
I dont want to eat anything for a month.
Next installment: Part 2. Whos a little teapot?

You just had to post this at supper time, didn't you?hucifer said:
OMG, gag with with a .......FINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, ToT does that? Pretends to be done, opens the doors and then sends you shooting back up? Love that ride.
And for the love of long lines, make sure Dan understands the next time, that you always get a fastpass before going on the biggies! They are good for any time after the initial start! Poor you! Tell him, horsie said....

While I agree with you that the finger licking was gross, it is sort of ironic for Dan to be grossed out by it after finishing a cigarette. I mean, no one ever died from eating bad cookies (that I am aware of).
Hey Wendy is any onf this helping? I mean does Dan read this and say, "gee dear, you're right I should quit" or does he say "oh great the one guy who's been on my side has turned against me"? Just curious. Becuase it really is with the best of intentions.
And BTW, Max is my dog. But any issues with his posts you have to take up with him directly. He is quite insightful in his thinking and Horsegirl is in love with him even though he got tagged (twice) before her.

Today - WDW announced that cookie sales have tanked. It is unknown as yet if the unprecendented and odd spike in Wilderness Lodge resturant partronage will offset the devastating loss in cookie revenue. Stayed tooned, but be aware park ticket cost may rise appreciably.
Uh - like - gross...and again you didn't say something BEFORE I went on my trip! That's twice!!! 
Something wicked this way comes...

I've been following along from the beginning & the installments just keep getting better!! 
The "entertainment" at your meal at Artist Point & the cookie lady incident were priceless!
We're leaving in just 17 days...I hope I get to hear about the rest of your trip by then!

Oh... oh boy.... I think I'm gonna puke from holding in all this laughter!! I've just found your TR and man-oh-man am I HOOKED! I don't even know what to comment on first. Smokestack Dan? (Who, BTW, sounds like a fabulous guy, despite his unfortunate addiction to burning leaves wrapped in tree by-products.) Illegal restaurant entry? Unauthorized CM impersonations? Failure to remove yourselves from the sandy areas designated for lightning strikes? It's all too much right now.... I'll just take my quivering, drooling self out the back door and laugh hysterically until it abates or I pass out.Fantastic stuff - can't wait for more!
