Lesson learned. Need more days in Disney!!! Aug 2010 (NEW 1/20-COMPLETE)

[YukiPhnx]

I've been on Universe of Energy twice but I can't tell you anything about it after we got on the ride vehicles. I feel asleep both times and the noise didn't bother me one bit. Someday I would like to be able to ride it and not fall asleep.

That cracked me up right there!! HAHAHAHA

Haha, you're not strange at all! It IS a nice place to relax! I think it would be a good idea for this trip.

Innoventions is just full of really cool stuff! I think your group will really enjoy trying all the little activities out.

I had wanted to try UoE! It sounded alright and I <3 ellen but no one else wanted to Next trip, though!

Can't wait to hear about Kim Possible! That was another thing I wanted to try but we just didn't have time! I'll get to live through your experiance

Yeah, it's one of the things that you wouldn't want to do alone. It's a pretty long show too.

Oh sweetie....you'll learn about KP soon enough.....

 

[englishrose47]

Evening Yuki!!!

Evening Yuki!!!

Oh my, I'm so behind! I currently have no internet at my home-away-from-home right now.

Hey Yuki!! Sorry i'm just getting to your update now. I've been working nooon stop!

Ahhh Bill Nye and Miss Frizzle!! I'm being brought back to 2nd grade. I remember some of the Magic School Bus episodes so well because our teacher would let us borrow the tape she had. The one where they went to outer space was my favorite.

I love Universe of Energy. It gets a lot of heat for being long and boring but I've always loved Ellen even when I was little and so it's kind of a nostalgia thing for me. I think it's an awesome attraction. It's just not Mission: Space or Soarin.

Sum of All Thrills sounds like it's really made Innoventions cooler. I've never done it but next trip for sure!

Awww...that's no good. Internet is a must when you're as big of a DIS fan as us.

Hope you can get back to DISing soon!!

Yeah, you must be really busy with work cause it's Fall and all.

I have SO many episodes from MSB that I loved. Like when they get swallowed by Carlos or the evaporation episode. I learned so much.

Yeah, Universe of Energy is definitely a cool ride. I don't think it's very boring, but I don't see me doing that when I go back in 2012.

Innoventions is already pretty cool by itself.I just wish I had more time in it. Well, I'm going to make sure to spend lots of time there in 2013. There is just so much to look at! Try to remember your sum when you go on Sum of All Thrills. I wanna know how to get a bigger score!

Sorry for the lack of updates! After a lot of negotiating, my house finally has internet again! I'm now updating from work and forgot to bring my trip notes again soo......here's what I can show you guys.

I went to the bookstore the other day and I ALWAYS look at the travel section. It's nice to just browse those guidebooks, you know? I came across this

and this

I bought them.....I couldn't help myself! I really fell for Epcot and HS on my trip. I wanted the AK one too, but they didn't have it in the store.

I also saw this on the shelves

but I just wasn't that interested. I know MK is the epitome of Disney magic but.....I dunno. It jus didn't appeal to me as much. I DO love the park though.

So now I'm halfway through the HS one and I'm learning so much! Did you guys know that the lamp shades in the ToT lobby were designed with fringes that came from period-style flapper dresses?

I highly recommend these books for anyone wanting to know more about the construction of the parks and all the detail and design and PLANNING that went into EVERYTHING. It's only about $9.95 USD each.

Ok, I promise I will have a real update soon. Catch y'all laters!

Chapter 8. Day 2 pt.3- Encounter with the Beverly

After grabbing FPs for KP, headed over to M:S to use our FPs. Ahh, don't you just love abbreviations?

We had no trouble getting through the FP line and were in the pre-show room in no time, standing on our numbered circles. After watching the video, everyone prepared to walk through the open doors, but they weren't opening....the video just continued to show people working in a controls room, not restarting or anything. We stood in that room for a good 10-15 minutes before the doors finally opened. The CMs never gave us an explanation, but we figured someone must've gotten sick since this is the orange version. The poor soul must've thought their stomache was stronger! My legs COULDN'T wait to just sit down and go to Mars.

After our trip back from the red planet, we decided to use our FPs for Soarin' and started heading in that direction. As soon as I saw Club Cool, I knew I had to stop for a drink. I couldn't wait to taste Coca Cola products from around the world!

I have always been and always will be, a Coca Cola girl. I will NEVER settle for Pepsi. Thank goodness WDW has the relationship with them, eh?

I was too busy videotaping Andrew tasting the Beverly so completely forgot to take any pictures! I also didn't take any notes about this visit so I can't remember which ones I liked. I'm pretty sure I like the germany and china ones.

Soooo, the story about...THE BEVERLY. So here I am, videotaping Andrew tasting it for the first time, waiting for a grimace, or a "blech!" or SOMETHING! You know what I get? "Hm...tastes kind of like alcohol....I kinda like it."



That's right ladies and gentlemen, my DBF is part of the minority that actually ENJOYS the Beverly He probably enjoys it as much as he enjoyed tricking other people into drinking it! His first time here and he's already an old pro. Even today, he tells me how much he would like some Beverly.

I wasn't planning on trying the Bev too but after seeing Andrew's reaction, my guards were down. So.....I take a sip and as expected GROSSS!!! YUCK!!! >___< Never again.

So after that adventure we continued on to The Land. Here's a photo of the crowds in front of us.

Pretty full eh?

As we were just about the past the Times board, some janitors started to make a fuss. Were these people who I thought they were......YES!!! They were the Jammitors!!!

I was really hoping to catch their show and I stumbled upon it! Man, they were SOOOO FUNNY! They said a multitude of funny things, but I only remember to write one of them down.

Jammitors: Ok everybody, we have a special announcement! Everybody listen up! Today.....is..........HOT!! *ba dum chi*

Cracked me up. The thing is, Andrew was wearing his birthday button and I was half-afraid they were gonna single us out because of it!

We finally made our way to Soarin but the FP line looked SOOOOO LOOONG. So we decided to just come back again later and headed to Captain EO.

When we got there, the line was empty......the room, completely emtpy. Nobody behind the turnstiles or in the building at all. Was it closed? Did something happen to it? We walked all the way up to the turnstile and looked around it a bit. Finally, a CM came out and told me they were going to let people into the pre-show area in 5 minutes. Hooray! The show was going on, and we were at the front of the line!! Pixie dust sure is awesome stuff.

The show with the Captain was pretty good. It is definitely worth seeing. Andrew is an MJ fan, so it was a treat for him. He had no idea MJ ever did this! The only bad thing was that we sat in the front rows. Bad idea. My neck hurt a lot from looking up the whole time.

I was starting to get a bit hungry, so we finally headed toward the World Showcase to get some grub!

On hindsight, we should've gone back to The Land to use our Soarin' FPs...

Up next: The World Showcase is sooooo big!!! Getting drunk and (almost) passing out

Those books you picked up look really neat! I totally agree with you and the whole having to check out the travel section at bookstores. I'm always browsing for the latest and greatest Disney book! Too bad about the Beverly. That stuff really is gross! What is it with boys and liking the gross stuff?! Your next update sounds interesting... a little too much to drink hmmm?

Yeah, and even though we keep seeing the same books, you STILL flip through them like it's your first time!

I'll definitely be buying the 2013 Unofficial Guide when it comes out. I've even thought of buying the Colour Companion so I can show pictures to my WDW-noob cousins that I will be bringing along. I think it'll be a great way to give them a good idea of what they're in for!

In highschool, all the guys I knew loved to mix different foods together and EAT THEM. Like, hotdogs dipped in hot chocolate and tomato soup. YUCK! Why do they feel the need to do stuff like that?

Haha.....great story coming up....a few of them actually. BTW, what the heck is a Torontopolitan? We saw that in the stand right outside the Canada Pavilion and have never heard of such a thing.

 

[glennbo123]

I wish Andrew would have taken a picture of you trying Beverly, Yuki. That would have been the picture to get!

Oh no....drunk in the world showcase?

 

[YukiPhnx]

I wish Andrew would have taken a picture of you trying Beverly, Yuki. That would have been the picture to get!

Actually, he said the exact same thing! I tried to do it without him looking, but he caught me as I did the "blech!" and threw out the rest of it.

Oh no....drunk in the world showcase?

Hehe, funny story. Or maybe not.....

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

I haven't ridden MS in a while I will have to put that on my list for my next trip!

Too funny about your DBF liking the Beverly I am also a fan of the Chinese watermelon drink mmm I could go for some of that right now!

I have always wanted to see the Jammitors but have never ran into them! How cool you go to watch them!!!

I love Captain EO! Seriously my favorite show at Disney! We made the mistake of sitting up front too so the second time I dragged my parents to see it we sat in the back and it was much more enjoyable!

Can't wait to hear about who gets drunk
