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

[mickeysmyboy]

What a lovely afternoon at DHS, the pool and what a great evening with the Wishes Desert Party!!!

We ate at Sci-Fi once and I wasn't all that impressed! Maybe we'll have to try it again!

The pool at Jambo House looks sooooo nice! We stay at AKL on our first family trip in 05. DH took the kiddos in the pool one day when it was like 68 degrees. Too cold for me!!

I noticed the something at the desert party! People getting all nuts like they need to get everything right away. Pushy and all! UGH! You're right, it's better to just ignore and enjoy!!

Great Update!!! I loved Sci Fi Diner!!! It was so much fun!!
Again... I wish we had the weather and time to hang out by our pool!
Next time!!

And of course one of the castle! I put my camera away for Wishes, it is something I very rarely take pictures of because I really just want to take it all in! We had a wonderful evening but as I said, I probably wouldn't do the party again! I actually missed standing on Main Street with the throngs of people...weird I know

[/QUOTE]

Good for you!!! I know I often get too caught up in taking photos and videos and land up living the moment through a lense instead of actually watching it it for real!! You'll probably have better memories that you put the camera down!!

Too bad for the jets!! But we'll win next time!!

Great update! I'm glad you like Sci Fi. When my brother and I went a few weeks ago, I had the burger and we shared the dip apptz. He had some steak/salad thing which I didn't seem too fond of but he loved it! The milkshakes are sooo yummy there Looks like a fun afternoon at the pool and I really need to try the dessert party!

 

[MaryAz]

Another great update!! We have never done the dessert party. Don;t think we will. Too many people in one area trying to get dessert makes me nervous LOL. Congrats to Jas and Jeff-such a cute couple.

Where did that year go??? Happy Anniversary to J and J!

We love Sci Fi...when we were there in the summer, the speaker system was wonky and e v e r y sss o u n d waaasss a prob- llllemmm. (Aren't I funny?) It was so bothersome. It would have been better with no sound. Luckily, the sound was fixed in about 30 minutes... It is about the atmosphere here!

We were disappointed that no one was on skates this visit...a CM told me it was optional. Was anyone wearing them when you were there?

My girls' friend suggested that they be rollerblading waitresses for Halloween. Just wait until she gets a load of Sci Fi...I sure hope they have roller skates on when she visits Disney!

How great that you had pool breaks for all of you to decompress each day!

Love that Nana was mentioned often on your trip! She was certainly there! How was your Thanksgiving? How was your dad and how is he doing? Is he still being kept quite busy?

Wikipedia tells me Thanksgiving was today, but that you eat your meal on any of the three day weekend...Mostly Sunday or Monday, though. So, how accurate is Wikipedia's info?

 

[IheartDDuck]

I love the dessert party! You made me happy just sharing your pictures!

Pool time in the middle of the day is always a good thing, especially when you're visiting in one of the hottest months! I was always wondering when our pool time would be on our July trip too.

You're so funny teasing SW. I'm bad. Teasing kiddos is so much fun...

 

[shan23877]

BLT soup sounds like my idea of heaven. I may have to break down and try Sci-Fi next trip.

Sorry the dessert party was a disappointment. People are so crazy sometimes!

 

[declansdad]

Desserts looked good, other guests sounded horrible. Thanks for the review.

You guys really liked that pool, didn't you. If only the bar had been still open the evening we were there we would have been able to get the full experience.

 

[Shannon84]

I love the inside of Sci Fi!! that BLT soup looks soooo yummy!!

I have heard such mixed reviews of the dessert party, some people love it and some don't care for it...I think it depends what kind of crowd is attending the party that night as well

 

[TanzUnited99]

Aaw it's nice to hear how Jasmine and Jeff celebrated their one year anniversary

Lol at tormenting SW in the library! Zaheer came with me in the queue but didn't ride - he was so nervous that he wouldn't be able to leave and would be forced to get in that elevator!

I'm glad you all enjoyed your meal at Sci Fi and it bought back great memories Those onion rings look delish!

Oh no on the Dessert Party being the way it was - I was really hoping you guys would have had a good experience.

Another great update! I think those Sci Fi french fries look amazing! Yummy!

I love pool time in the summer. It's the best!

Those desserts look amazing, but I would not want to deal with all those pushy people either. That's no fun! I hate when people get like that.

 

[MEK]

Happy Anniversary to J&J!!!!!

 

[klacey1]

I haven't written about the WDP in my TR yet, but we probably won't go again either. Ours wasn't as crazy as yours, but I didn't think the desserts were that great.
Aww, that's so great they've been dating a year! They're just adorable together.

 

[pkondz]

I made a huge pot of turkey rice soup and the spaghetti sauce is simmering just waiting for Jeff and Jasmine to get home from work!

Ummm.... can I come over?

I of course tormented poor SW in the library, like I always do, and she didn't want to sit with me on the ride, like always! Poor thing...it really is sport for me!

That is unconscionable! You should be ashamed of yourself for tormenting the poor child. Shame on you!


Okay, so I would so do the same thing. After all, what are children for but as sport for their elders?

The girls were both a little apprehensive about the "scary" trailers but they did great!Doesn't everyone look so happy in this picture...

I think MM is still a "little apprehensive" here.

for Peg and I it sure brought back memories of our childhood....the drive in was a big outing for us! Putting on our pajamas and my mom would make popcorn and snacks to take with us....great great memories!

I only remember my folks taking us twice. But I still remember the movies. The Eagle has Landed (I think my folks didn't think it would be so violent... tame by todays standards) and a John Wayne flic which I think was Rooster Cogburn or True Grit.

Our view from our chairs on this particular afternoon, we were much closer to the bar!

Ya gotta have your priorities!

It was so nice a relaxing, watching everyone have fun while I leisurely sipped on my pina colada

See previous comment!

MM was so cute, she said to her mom "I think Nana sent the zebras to us today" made me a little weepy when Peg told me! Nana was with us a lot on this trip!

Awww...

Every little girl should get to try a tiara on once in her lifetime!

Note to self, take DDs for Tiara fittings.

I couldn't believe how crazy people were in here thus the lack of pictures! I don't know if people were afraid they were going to run out of desserts (and no they sure didn't) or what but I could hardly get in to get food, never mind pictures! People were yelling at each other and yelling at their kids...overall I did not enjoy this at all and wouldn't pay to go again!

Ugh. That’s too bad. Would it help if they raised the price a little and lowered the number of people allowed?

My plate...not much different than Jasmine's except for the creme brulee which I must say was delicious!

Okay, you had creme brulee, so you are forgiven for not having the carrot cake cookie earlier.

I put my camera away for Wishes, it is something I very rarely take pictures of because I really just want to take it all in!

I do the same. I don’t want to miss the show because I’m too busy taking pictures!

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to the next one!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

All caught up...you had a wonderful trip up to this point!

Ahhh...there's nothing like taking an afternoon off from the parks and swim. Perfection!!!

So the way to your heart is a Grey Goose slushie...I'll keep that in mind.

Le Cellier is awesome and Sci Fi is cool too.

Everyone looks like they are having so much fun!

Your pics are bringing me right back to WDW, boy do I miss that place.

Did you ever get your luggage?

[dismagiclover]

Great update! I just love those afternoons hanging at the resort. So fun and relaxing! Sorry to hear the Wishes Dessert party wasn't all that great. I sure would hope they wouldn't run out of dessert for the price! Good to know it isn't all that.

 

[I Believe In Magic]

Great update!! Sorry to hear the Wishes party wasn't much fun. Is that all you guys got was one little plate? I remember seeing the prices for that and I never did it because I can't eat too heavy at night but I sure would want to. lol
You got some great pics, I can't even choose my favorite this time I liked so many!! Glad to see everyone is having so much fun!!

 

[KatMark]

Where have I been the last five days? Living under a rock that I missed an update?

Love the photo of everyone (well, except you aren't in it) at Sci-Fi (gotta love those onion rings).

MM looks adorable in her tiara and I don't see what the CM got so "upset" about--everyone tries on hats at the parks.

Looks like the kids were having fun at the pool.

We've never done the dessert party either and I think we'll stay away from it...too much hassle and I prefer being near the Rose Garden for Wishes.

Congrats to Jasmine and Jeff.

Yep tough loss for the Jets....but just being in the building for this game was worth it!!!. The 50:50 was $74,000 !!!!!!!!!.........sorry Queen and Darcy, they didn't pick my number......maybe next game!!

Only today I find out that it was won by one of the guys here at work.
