Like...They are Going with STRANGERS?!?! Sayonara Part 1- Join Us on the new thread!

[All7OfUs]

First of all, WELCOME BACK! kimmylaj! We've missed you!

Now, onto Snack #5! I know you're all dying to know what else Soldier #1 is going to pig out on.

This one is found in most places, but it holds a special place in my heart at Animal Kingdom. Last year, we were practically baking in the hot sun, and we found MINNIE'S STRAWBERRY BARS!!!

YUMMO!! That's all I have to say.

I'd love to post a picture of one, but I looked for about an hour and couldn't find one anywhere. Someone help me out here; I used to have the link to the threads that showed photos of almost EVERY food at Disney, but I can't find it now for all the tea in China (and by the way, that's a lot!).

So just imagine, an icy cold, very strawberry tasting, but not too sweet, no preservatives added kind of deliciousness, okay. Imagine it's 50,000,000 degrees at AK, we've just ridden EE about 5 times in a row, our feet are aching, and we've just found a really nice bench with our names written on it (one of the ones made of 100% recycled milk jugs) and we rest with one of Minnie's fruity treats.

I wonder if we'll actually bring a picture like this home??

 

[TarzansKat]

You know what kills me. My DS ate one of these last year at AK and I don't think we have a picture. I'll go look.

 

[All7OfUs]

Oh, major bummer! I need one. I just doesn't look right without a picture!!!

 

[jenb1023]

TK - great job on round 2 of the funnel cakes!

Maroo - I think it is five servings of fruit/veggies per day. BTW - do you like my new ticker?

Kimmylaj - orange flavoring certainly counts as a fruit by our standards!

Liesa - here you go again with the healthy snacks! A fruit bar! I am voting for a mickey head ice cream! Here is the best pic I could find.

 

[that's nice]

you guys have been talking up a storm!!!!!!! Those funnel cakes look real good.. thanks for the recipe!!!! I don't have time to post any real comments (because I had to read 4pages of comments!LOL) but STOP having so much fun while I am gone!!!!!!!!!!

Now this sounds both FUN and good!! Riding EE 5 times in a row...We are going to be great travel buddies!!

This actually looks really good.

And, no, this picture would NOT end up on any TR.

I usually eat 5-6 per day on the WW plan. So I guess we can stick to that.

I love the new ticker!!!!!!

Us? chatting?

I have to say...we are having a major storm here this morning. The lightning from 7 floors up is pretty amazing. It is so loud. And the traffic on the interstate below has stopped. Craziness in the morning!

Anyway...(that segway, by the way, was from "talking up a storm" just in case you missed it!)

You better just get back on here so you can banter away at us!

Didn't expect you here for a few more days. We ladies do get chatty, don't we? Fun, fun, fun! Glad to oblige with the recipe. You guys should try it out, but don't set your kitchen on fire, okay!

Yup, I love, LOVE, EE! Stay safe up there on the 7th floor!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled chatting!

Yay for the pics, JenB! Awesome!

Glad you like the ticker! Hope the storm has passed and everyone is safe!

Thanks for the picture, I really needed one for my HEALTHY snack!

In my book anything that does not clog arteries/add five pounds to each thigh just by looking at it is a "healthy" snack. Do you think that could explain why I need to be and am on a diet?

Yay for the pics, JenB! Awesome!

Thank you! The pics make me want to head to WDW right now for some ice cream!

Speaking of heading to WDW, guess what I got e-mailed yesterday???? A Free Dining Pin Code for Oct/Nov/Dec! I am seriously thinking about going (even though I probably shouldn't be). It would just be me and DD for probably a long weekend. DH wants a WDW break for awhile (crazy man! you would think I made him go three times in 20 months or something )

...Loving all the chatter and trying not to think about the yumminess....

Kathy

Oh man. Run Away!!! We will seriously ruin a diet!

You are doing so GOOD...so AWESOME...please don't let us ruin it!!

 

[All7OfUs]

Kathy!- 15 POUNDS!! I am so impressed! You are doing so well- good for you!

jenb- Thanks for that picture, again. I came across one like that, too, and was glad you put it up there, cuz it has the price too.

That'snice- Drive home safely, and we'll catch up with you in a few days.

TK- Did you ever find one from your stash?

maroo- I wonder if riding 5 times in a row is even possible? What if we use the single rider line- first thing in the morning?

 

[All7OfUs]

Onto Snack #6 (We are on Number 6, right?)

Most people laud the Dole Whip, but I'm all over the Float! I LOVE- no ADORE, and CRAVE, pineapple ANYTHING! Fresh is really great, but juice paired up with soft serve, okay yumminess is just gonna happen, folks!

Last year, all 5 kids and I had the rare opportunity to have some time all to ourselves, and we had to try the Aloha Isle for the acclaimed Dole Whip, but when I saw that they had a FLOAT, the idea of only pineapple flavored ice cream went flying out the window faster than Mary runs from zucchini!

We ordered 2, and they were so huge that all 6 of us could barely finish them! I guess I like them because it's like getting 2 snacks in 1. A double the fun deal, shall we say?

Here are some pix I found on the food review threads. Don't they look great?? (maroo, you can plead the 5th) And since it's a double-double snack I'll give you double the pleasure!

 

[MeMom]

I've got a strawberry bar for you.

Brooklynn was in quite the dilemma deciding which one she wanted.

 

[MKBekka]

I can't decide which is better- the Dole Whip Float, or the Frozen Minnie Bar. I LOVE them both. Funnel cakes are downright good too.

Ahhhh, MeMom and her most excellent photo prowess comes through for us!! Wonderfully done, and I'm not sure which is better, the strawberry bar or that look of consternation on Brooklynn's face!!

And whoooo makes the best funnel cakes?? (Hint: There IS a right answer to this )

Let me put it this way.... I did Soarin' 4 times in a row with no single rider line. We can definitely d EE 5 times in a row....

What other rides might we want to do over and over? Maybe that is another update?

 

[jenb1023]

Ooohhh! Dole Whips or Dole Whip Floats - both are delicious! I just finished eating some fresh cut pineapple - now I am going to pretend it was one of these delectable delights. Maroo - I can't believe you don't like pineapple!

MeMom - love the photo! Much cuter than the one I found!

I think a list of rides you love/want to ride multiple times could be a new series of posts listing everyone's choices one at a time like the snacks. We have lots of time to kill before your actual trip.

 

[All7OfUs]

jenb,

You're right, and it WILL be a whole series (probably by park) of what we hope to actually do while we are there. Rides, shops, extras, etc...

First though, I think maroo needs to take a week or so, and list out her "Snacks of Choice".

The next idea I have is something like: The Spoils of War

 

[maroo]

It's my turn for snacks!?!? I can't wait! Yum!
