JAMBO Everybody...An August 2011 TR (Completed May 13)

[Queenofallthings]

Darn - I missed two updates. I think I probably stopped by and read while I was at work, but it is so not the same without the pictures.

3rd visit to the Ditch? I see you had my favorite rita again, but is that pink tequila in that shot glass? What is that? Queen - you are my kind of gal - not one, but TWO tequila crinks. Love it!

Very cute pictures of Jas, Jeff, and the rest of the girls!

I agree, a post is not the same without looking at the pictures!

I told the server that I thought I would like to try the margarita flight on this visit and she told me that I wouldn't like it because they aren't cold...they are room temperature. Yeah, not into room temperature margaritas, but she asked if we were to try it which one's would we like to try ...for the life of me I can't remember what we each said, but she brought them for us....no charge! She was right tho, I didn't like it, but I drank it anyways I cannot wait until we can share a cocktail or two on a future trip!

Thanks...we had a great time!

Another week has passed and April is almost over!

Just where the heck did April go? Heck it was just Christmas a week or two ago, wasn't it?

I wanted to start this post of with a story! ... Well guess what...turns out I captured a future friend and her DBF in line behind us. ... Fate meant for us to be friends so look thru your old pictures and see who you can see...you never know!

That is an amazing story. All of the things that had to happen. You both had to be in the same place at the same time... at the same time you were taking a shot... backwards. The odds of that happening are not great to begin with. And then you just happen to go through shots from a few years ago, too?

Ooh, shivers!

This post now brings us to our DTD evening with dinner at WPC! I had looked forward to this dinner the entire trip as it's one of my favorite restaurants to visit when we're there!

Nope, haven't been there either. Almost everyone raves about it though!

Unfortunately, right about the time that I took this picture, I started feeling quite unwell. Like, horrible unwell. I think it was low blood sugar and knew I had to eat and quick! The only bad part was, the thought of eating made me feel worse!

Oh, that's too bad. I hate it when that happens. And just when you were going to a fave restaurant, too.

Here is SW, Jeff and Jas coloring and waiting for dinner!

Cute pic. All smiles!

MM, me, Geodoc and Peg....good lord, I felt awful!

You hide it well. You look great!

I guess that's one of the differences between men and women. Women grit their teeth and soldier on. Men hold their tummies and cry like little babies.


Well... at least I do.

Lava cake...this is hand downs Jasmine`s favorite dessert on property....she says she dreams about it! Do you think now`s a good time to tell her I don`t have an ADR for here in May

Give yourself a lot of room and a head start first.

Carrot Cake...I dream of this dessert!

DW's fave too. Have you tried the carrot cake at Baked Expectations yet?

Someone was very tired and of course Jeff cannot say no to this little princess so she got a ride back to the room!

I really get a kick out of how Jeff and MM get along so well. Thanks for the update!

Oh, BTW, since you asked... link to my TR in my siggie.

 

[Purpleblanket]

oh.. that snickers cheesecake looks delicious!!

Have a good weekend!! Even though, I haven't had a lot to say lately, I'm still here and following along!!

[PlutosRHM55]

Wow, that is one cool story! Only in a few months or so would you guys be meeting each other on the DIS and becoming such good friends. Just... whoa! Very cool. I really gotta pay attention to all those "photo bombers" in the backgrounds of my photos now, maybe I'll find my new best friend

Sorry you weren't feeling good on the way to dinner at WPC. ECK, never fun to get sick in Disney But still it looks like you enjoyed the meal, all the food looks delicious! The Butternut Squash soup looks delicious and all those desserts seem just as good. I may have to stop by there next time I'm in DTD (no matter how long it may be when that day comes...)

Awwww... that picture of Mini Montana and Jeff is just so darn adorable! I'm just afraid now that if and when I go back that is going to be having to carry one of my sisters back to the resort from a late night ADR, ugh! Talk about trying to fix my posture

Can't wait to read more!

 

[MEK]

So it was a margarita shot in that glass. too funny!

How great that you actually have a picture of a DISer you did not meet until after you took it!

Ughh - sorry you weren't feeling well. My guess is you may have been dehydrated, especially after all the drinking. Your food looking yummy. I think I will be eating at WPE this summer. Looking forward to that.

 

[IheartDDuck]

How awesome is it that you have pictures of Kylie and Zach before you knew them!? It really is a small DIS world for sure.

I'm sorry that you weren't feeling well. That's absolutely the worst when you're on vacation.

 

[Shannon84]

I am just catching up...always feeling like that lately with the DIS!! I LOVE the picture of the girls outside the resort, too cute!!

Gotta love Gaston, he is so fun to meet, I don't think I would have given up my spot to take a picture with Belle though sorry Jeff!!

Too funny they recognized you in "the ditch" I have dreams of a margarita there!! I cannot wait to get one!!

That is so cool you have a random picture of your DIS friends before you knew them, that is just so neat

 

[iixheartxyouxox]

It must be a really really small world because after mentioning that you had taken that picture of your future friends, I went back to check the dates because Keith and I were in disney in Aug 09. Turns out we were there the same time too! Aug 9-16th we were at All-Star Sports! Now when I get a chance I'm going to go through my pictures! I am looking forward to meeting up in just 3 short weeks!

 

[onescgirl]

That is the coolest thing that you took a picture of a future Dis'er friend!
What a small world!
I'm glad you started feeling better after you ate the soup. That would have been terrible to be sick during your trip.

 

[ellajeansmom]

That's so cool that you found a picture with future friends in it!

Too bad you were not feeling well enought to fully enjoy dinner, especially at one of your favourite places. Glad the soup helped, it looks yummy.

I can well imagine that by this point in the trip you all needed an early night, a good night's sleep is a wonderful thing

 

[KatMark]

Queen, I'm sorry I've fallen so far behind (but I'm behind on ALL of the threads I follow). I did look at all the pictures and they all look great. I'll try to stay up to date now.

 

[Queenofallthings]

Just where the heck did April go? Heck it was just Christmas a week or two ago, wasn't it?

It sure does feel that way doesn't it!

That is an amazing story. All of the things that had to happen. You both had to be in the same place at the same time... at the same time you were taking a shot... backwards. The odds of that happening are not great to begin with. And then you just happen to go through shots from a few years ago, too?

Ooh, shivers!

I stared at the picture, waited for my darling daughter to get home from work so she could confirm that it was really them and I just wasnt seeing things! Nope, I wasnt!

Nope, haven't been there either. Almost everyone raves about it though!

Love it there!

Oh, that's too bad. I hate it when that happens. And just when you were going to a fave restaurant, too.

What I wouldn/t have given just to be back at the resort and in bed...ughhhhhh

Cute pic. All smiles!

I can/t remember what they were doing but they were having a blast!

You hide it well. You look great!

Why thank you....even now to look at those pictures reminds me just how awful I felt!

I guess that's one of the differences between men and women. Women grit their teeth and soldier on. Men hold their tummies and cry like little babies.


Well... at least I do.

So you are like the guy in the Nyquil commercial who asks his wife to call his mom

Give yourself a lot of room and a head start first.



DW's fave too. Have you tried the carrot cake at Baked Expectations yet?

I haven/t been there in years....I believe the last time I had the Schmoo torte..... I take it the carrot cake is delish

I really get a kick out of how Jeff and MM get along so well. Thanks for the update!
They are definitely pals. As a matter of fact when I was at my sisters yesterday, they were joking about taking Jeff with them in August since he cant come with us in May
Oh, BTW, since you asked... link to my TR in my siggie.

Page 5 and I just get a heads up now.....I posted there before I moved on with this one! Great TR....looking forward to reading it!

oh.. that snickers cheesecake looks delicious!!

Have a good weekend!! Even though, I haven't had a lot to say lately, I'm still here and following along!!

Debbie

According to Geodoc, it was as good as it looked!

You too! Bummed that today is cloudy tho

Wow, that is one cool story! Only in a few months or so would you guys be meeting each other on the DIS and becoming such good friends. Just... whoa! Very cool. I really gotta pay attention to all those "photo bombers" in the backgrounds of my photos now, maybe I'll find my new best friend
It has me wanting to go thru all my old pics and look to see if there is anyone else we know in them!
Sorry you weren't feeling good on the way to dinner at WPC. ECK, never fun to get sick in Disney But still it looks like you enjoyed the meal, all the food looks delicious! The Butternut Squash soup looks delicious and all those desserts seem just as good. I may have to stop by there next time I'm in DTD (no matter how long it may be when that day comes...)
That soup is probably one of favorite things to have at DTD. It fills me up but not to the uncomforable level, especially if we/re going shopping after!
Awwww... that picture of Mini Montana and Jeff is just so darn adorable! I'm just afraid now that if and when I go back that is going to be having to carry one of my sisters back to the resort from a late night ADR, ugh! Talk about trying to fix my posture
That would make you a very popular big brother tho!
Can't wait to read more!

Ughh - sorry you weren't feeling well. My guess is you may have been dehydrated, especially after all the drinking. Your food looking yummy. I think I will be eating at WPE this summer. Looking forward to that.

Yes it was....I have never done a shot of tequila and not sure that I could

My sister got quite the kick out of that comment on the drinking! You are probably right too

WPE is one of our favorites...you feel like your getting a TS meal for CS price

 

[Queenofallthings]

How awesome is it that you have pictures of Kylie and Zach before you knew them!? It really is a small DIS world for sure.

I'm sorry that you weren't feeling well. That's absolutely the worst when you're on vacation.

Isn't that cool! It sure is!

You got that right! Glad by the time I got back to the resort I was feeling human again!

I am just catching up...always feeling like that lately with the DIS!! I LOVE the picture of the girls outside the resort, too cute!!

Gotta love Gaston, he is so fun to meet, I don't think I would have given up my spot to take a picture with Belle though sorry Jeff!!

Too funny they recognized you in "the ditch" I have dreams of a margarita there!! I cannot wait to get one!!

That is so cool you have a random picture of your DIS friends before you knew them, that is just so neat

I feel the same...I just can't keep up!

I don't think he appreciated the fact that I gave it up for him...I'll smack him the next time he's over

You will love it there....great place to have a cocktail out of the sun and just relax....it's the vacation part of WDW (or at least that's what I tell myself when I'm sitting there)

I still can't believe I took that picture!

It must be a really really small world because after mentioning that you had taken that picture of your future friends, I went back to check the dates because Keith and I were in disney in Aug 09. Turns out we were there the same time too! Aug 9-16th we were at All-Star Sports! Now when I get a chance I'm going to go through my pictures! I am looking forward to meeting up in just 3 short weeks!

Oh my....now I have to go back and look through those ones again! How cool is that!! Can't wait to see you guys....doesn't it feel great to say 3 weeks!!

That is the coolest thing that you took a picture of a future Dis'er friend!
What a small world!
I'm glad you started feeling better after you ate the soup. That would have been terrible to be sick during your trip.

Such a small world!

The whole time we were on our way there and waiting to eat I kept thinking how I wanted my bed...but glad I went because I did feel better in the end!

That's so cool that you found a picture with future friends in it!

Too bad you were not feeling well enought to fully enjoy dinner, especially at one of your favourite places. Glad the soup helped, it looks yummy.

I can well imagine that by this point in the trip you all needed an early night, a good night's sleep is a wonderful thing

I can't wait for Kylie to see it!

I was so bummed that I wasn't in the mood for the carrot cake!

It's true, I think that's what we all needed! I plan on taking at least 2 evenings when we're away to have early nights or sleep in a little mornings!

Queen, I'm sorry I've fallen so far behind (but I'm behind on ALL of the threads I follow). I did look at all the pictures and they all look great. I'll try to stay up to date now.

Welcome home Kathy...we missed you I am behind too...some weeks are better than others but for the most part I play catch up too!

Just in time to type to you and hear the Flyers in the background... I told Gregg how you and Jas were cheering for the Flyers, and he said do they know we aren't really a hockey house? I said, yeah, they know we are a soccer house. And then, I heard the cheering fans on the TV.... I'd have to say that our house is a sports house.

We are less than 30 minutes outside of Philly, so certainly love for the Philadelphia teams. However, Gregg draws the line at the Eagles (my family of nonsports enthusiasts are Eagles fans...). He is a Raiders fan (CA) since his dad was from CA and a big Raiders fan.

And where is dh now? In front of the Flyers game with a beer.

Enough picking on my dh (he did just return from the grocery store and put all of the food away...)

Amazing that you have a picture of future Dis friends--so fun! A couple of months ago, our local news reported about a couple who are in a photo with a character as kids. As a married couple, they later discovered the event.

Great pictures of the memories at WPC. I know that sick feeling from not eating soon enough. You certainly hid it well! Great photo of you. (Honestly, you always take a great photo!)

I'm off to the PTR now!! Maybe I've talked myself out, though.

That's hilarious! We are a soccer house also....my little darling is so excited about the Euro cup starting she has all her Portugal jersey's out and ready! Why Portugal you ask....two words....Christiano Ronaldo...she has been in love with him since she was a little girl

That's hilarious! Hey, I'm doing the exact same thing (minus the beer... I have to pick Jas up after work).
Enough picking on my dh (he did just return from the grocery store and put all of the food away...)
Ok...we sound like we're having identical Sunday's...I just got home from grocery shopping too!

How cool is that! Fate...I completely believe in it!!

Aww thanks Debby, you are so sweet! Don't you just hate that feeling....ughhh.....just thinking about it makes me
I'm off to the PTR now!! Maybe I've talked myself out, though.

Sounds good....if not today I'll see you over there later in the week I'm sure

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

Very cool to have that pic! What are the chances that they were there at that exact time.

Hugs that you didn't feel good that night at WGPC.
That place is awesome!
Loved the carrot cake.
If we meet up after our dinner I can bring you and Jasmine your favorite desserts.
One carrot cake and one Lava cake.

I hope WGPC isn't ruined in your mind because you associate it with not feeling well.
I can't bring myself to book an ADR at 'Ohanas right now cause it brings me right back to NYE when I was so sick...the room was spinning and I was so nauseous.
It has always been our favorite so I'm sure in time I will try it again.

It definitely didn't ruin it for me, thank goodness! I am seriously considering booking an ADR there for one of our pool days! We both love it so much I think I should just do it!

I am going to send you a PM with Jas's cell number and to finalize our plans!!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

You should just book an ADR for WGPC!
It is sooo good! You know you will regret it...if you don't.

We are planning a late pool afternoon that day before we go to DTD by boat!
So excited to take the beautiful ride down the river from POR.
I've always wanted to do it.

I sent you a PM back! We will work something out.

I tried last evening but our laptop needs a new battery (she's picking one up today) so it was super slow and I was getting super annoyed

You will love that little boat ride, I haven't done it from POR but from SSR and it's so nice

Thanks for the PM....can't wait to see you guys!

 

[Queenofallthings]

I have found myself at home alone on a Saturday night so I thought I might as well do a post! This is also our last day in WDW....as much as I know I have this going since September, I can hardly believe I'm done in another couple of posts!

Our finally morning was taking us to an early morning ADR! So it was outta bed and down to the bus because we had to go to the MK to catch our favorite mode of transportation......

The monorail!!! Peg and family!

My two!

We arrived at our destination in no time and Peg went to check in!

Since we would be dining at O`Hana`s Peg and Jeff thought everyone should do the Hula....you can see they are the only two that are doing it

The glorious bar at O`Hana`s...now I wasn`t thinking of drinking at 8am, however, I couldn`t help but remember the delicious pina colada I had here last year....best ever!

Jasmine making herself right at home .... I did make her take her shoes off....good lord girl, were you raised in a barn

I dont know what I was thinking at this point, I took a picture of the food, but I should have taken a picture of Jeffs face when the food arrived! Priceless!

Just a little FYI, Jeff was not exactly excited that this was another character breakfast....remember TH....he doesnt like anything interrupting his meal

Again....hes eating, please dont get between him and the skillet

Ok, so he decides one picture will be good....but notice the biscuit in his hand....god forbid he should put the food down!

Geodoc and SW enjoying the morning. We were having pressed pot coffee so the 3 adults were very happy people right about now!

He may be smiling but hes clearly more interested in the food....and saying Ohana means family...in Stitchs voice! LOL

Ok darling, put down your knife and fork and stand up for this picture,,,,, thank you

MM and MM .... I just realized that when I typed it!

Is it just me or does that smile look a little phony!

I believe he was actually in the washroom at this point and didnt seem at all disappointed that he missed Pluto....just made sure we asked for more bacon and biscuits!

After our delicious breakfast we took the monorail back to the MK where would spend the rest of our morning....well until 11 anyways!

I love this picture! Real people make everything better!

Halloween decorations....had to take this shot!

Fountain...not sure whats going on with my little darling here ... probably holding back her tears!

His tummy was full and he was making the most of our last day in the World.

Gosh I hoped this would be true.....and now you all know that it is....we leave 2 weeks today!

We headed back to the resort to let the kids have one last swim before we were heading back to the GF for my friends daughters wedding.....I cant wait to share the pictures and all the details with you!
