Like a Bad Meal (V Keeps Coming Back) - THE END! 1/12/09

[PrincessAlways]

OMG!!! You ladies emptied the pineapple supply AGAIN!!! How funny is that! Perhaps next time, someone should warn the Poly that this group is coming!!! Poor V, maybe you should've stuck with the Lapu Lapu! Oh wait, you couldn't.....no more pineapples!

 

[Liz]

Hey V, I know its easy to get burned out. Take care of yourself and that darling boy of yours and update when you can! I love the way you write! It takes me back "home" when I can't be there!

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

I'm glad you're going to try and finish this TR. I hear you on how hard it is... writing a TR is a love/hate thing, isn't it? Thanks again for carting around my Flat Michelle. Although, I would have rather been there in person, sucking down nasty mojitos & tasty pineapples with you guys

See you on Friday!!!

 

[PrincessV]

First of all, THANK you all so much for all your nice words - I was worried maybe I'd have lost my readership!

DUDE - I stick to my original statement: Mojito's are the devil's juice!

Agreed!

Only...

I think I HAVE to try the frozen version at F&W Fest this weekend...

Nice pic of me, though.

I love that pic!

Don't we all wish we could make this statement

No way. 22? Yes. 12? Ick!

I bet the Poly staff were

I totally forgot - we had the same server that I've had in MY PAST 3-4 VISITS! Poor lady. But I tip her well.

Looking at all of those carved out pineapples makes me homesick.

It's strange, but me too! I don't even particularly like Lapu Lapus, but they're emblematic of Home, aren't they?

Sheesh, did they learn NOTHING?

Or, are they trying to steer us elsewhere for future trips? NOT GONNA WORK, HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

I'm still sorry that I missed Tambu night.

Me too! Se,, we HAVE to keep going back!

Sounds like a great dinner, V. Makes me want to plan another adults only trip so that we can eat at all these fine restaurants! Either that or I have to do the dining plan again!

That's one thing I've missed these past few years; my ex and I went to WDW often just for dinner (okay, we usually spent a few hours in a park, too, but mostly for dinner.) I'm so glad Leo is old enough now to do some more of that!

Who would have thought of mint leaves?????

I know, right?! It's been suggested that WDW uses a mix for their Mojitos, though, so it could be that, too.

Have you seen the Sex & the City movie? Charlotte "pooghkeepsied" in her pants while in Mexico!

Yes!

Thanks for coming back, and I really hope you find time to tell us about your other trips too. I really enjoy reading your TRs, you have a fabulous sense of timing allowing the reader to truly experience the emotion of the experience.

Thank you so much! Honestly, I mostly just write how I talk - and I looooove telling stories!

It so nice to hear that someone is visiting frequently.

It's so nice to be visiting frequently! Honest, it's such a cheap vacation for us living so close. I really couldn't go anywhere else for the same cost.

I'm saving my spot for a witty reply later, but also to inquire...did you absolutely have to use that drunken-glistening-nasty-bad-hair-day-havin'-the-camera-adds-15-pounds picture of me that looks suspiciously like my buddy Leo took??

It's skeeery...

Sorry LL! Darned kids.

But, for the record, I LOVED your hair! Wish mine would curl up that nicely.

You put on a good show, V. I had no idea you weren't feeling well that night

Thanks, I tried hard to overcome!

I love love love reading everyone's versions of the meets- so much fun!

It is, isn't it?!

Hopefully the busy-ness you are encountering is of a fun and positive variety. And maybe even a Disney variety?

A little of everything I'm afraid - school, Leo school, work, house stuff, car stuff, and yeah, some Disney stuff, too.

(just please don't tell me there's something wrong with the coconut in the pina colada...)

No word yet, but I'll keep you posted!

Perhaps next time, someone should warn the Poly that this group is coming!!!

No way - they'd lock the doors!

It takes me back "home" when I can't be there!

I'm so glad - that's exactly what I try to!

writing a TR is a love/hate thing, isn't it?

YES!

See you on Friday!!!

You know it - I can't wait!

I think I HAVE to try the frozen version at F&W Fest this weekend...

So did you? Please say you loved it or I'll feel awful.

 

[Philadisney]

I'm glad to see a new update from you! Although not so glad to hear about the terrors of the ill-fated mojito...I think I'll stay away from those I'm more of a Lapu Lapu girl anyway, methinks!
Narcossee's sounds divine...I have to make it there someday. If only for the mac n cheese! I found on our trip that most of the mac n' cheese on property has changed to a overly buttery, blah recipie...I could go for some good mac n' cheese in WDW.

 

[PrincessV]

So did you? Please say you loved it or I'll feel awful.

I didn't - try it, I mean. I had a raging headache Sat. and really wasn't feeling well over all, so booze wasn't sounding so good.

OMG, seriously, that was the richest, cheesiest mac & cheese I've ever seen! And yet, not so overly-rich as to turn off a 6 year-old. It was cheesy perfection!

That doesn't sound like a promising trip.

Hey V, so glad you decided not to abandon us here. I truly love your writing and I will be here waiting for you whenever you get the chance to update.

I too have found that the boys need down time while in WDW. THe last few trips they LOVED to lounge at the pool. I bring a few books and get some drinks(kiddie and ADULT) then we just lounge out on the chairs an relax. FOR A WHILE. THis seems to do the trick for them and I dont feel cooped up inside..

MENTAL NOTE MADE:NO MOJITOS IN WDW---EVER!!!!
although the frozen one at the puerto rico stand in EP are DELISH(no mint there)

 

[englishrose47]

Hi V!!

[Lauralee131]

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

You can't leave a girl hanging after a text like that.

I really need to make a reminder slip for me or something, because we all have so much more fun with plenty of downtime.

Hi V!!

Hi Rosie!

Hi....were back from DisneyLand

Welcome back!

:I'm just hanging around... waiting for a new installment...

Don't you have some writing and/or planning to do?!

You can't leave a girl hanging after a text like that.

Oh shoot, I did text, didn't I?! JK - I remember. ish.



Well, I was all set to post a quick review of this past weekend and then realized I left the camera home. No pics = no story. But I AM working on a new installment for the trip already in progress, so there's that.

I'd be happy to read a text-only report.

I'm still here too reading along, just not feeling witty enough for responses. I am so glad you didn't abandon us. I just LOVE your TR's. I think your updates would be great even if there weren't any pics because you have such a way with your writing, that I feel as if I am there with you. Don't get me wrong your photos are AMAZING, but I'm just sayin' that I would still read even if there were no photos.

You guys rock - thank you!

BUT.

I need, need pics to remember this weekend. F&W Fest and all. 'Nuff said.
