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

[reelmom]

We have only eaten there once so I am going to say Columbia Harber House.

 

[that's nice]

I'm guessing: Columbia Harbor House. I think there is a pic of Davy Jones on Tom Sawyer's Island... and the ferry comes and goes... ????

Off to a bad start I'm afraid. Is there a prize for the winner???? Who won the last time?

 

[englishrose47]

What are you guys guessing .... from what I m seeing my guess is

 

[winkers]

my brain is too fried from eggnog and curly ribbon to think....so, I don't have any idea!

 

[disney<333]

Sorry I have been MIA again. I hope I can someday repay you.
Wow trivia, hugh?
My guess is Yachtsman. Am I supposed to PM it to you?
So glad to hear Maroo is having a great time.

 

[tinkgurl]

My guess: Columbia Harbor House because you mention eating fish?!

Here’s take 2, done on Word. ( I’m getting smarter…)I lost 30 minutes of work, only to push submit and be told, "Boards down for maintenance". I push back, it's a no go, hence I spend 30 more minutes doing is this way.

The votes are in, they are tallied,
The missing troops, they have been rallied.
Don’t fret if you didn’t get it this time,
The next one will be done in rhyme.

Your guesses were very good this time! I really thought I handed out a tough clue, but apparently, we’ve got some really big Disney Smarty-Pantses among us! The answer was Columbia Harbor House, which most of you got. Congratulations to:

Jordan, Shannn, punkin413, eandesmom, reelmom, that’snice, LiteBrite, Tinkgurl, GreatBiscuit, and probably someone I forgot to type. If that’s you, let me know.

I dug out my Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World and re-read what it says about my favorite place to eat in MK. You’ll find out why it’s my favorite place in the next installment of the Retro Report very soon. Here’s what the book says: On the wall opposite of the one with the National Geographic map it spells out the name of the room; the Flying Dutchman room. In fact, all the rooms in this CS place are named after ghost ships- those that lost their fights with Davey Jones. That map (in the shape of a hidden Mickey), by the way is a map of sunken ships! Is it a coincidence that the Haunted Mansion is “across the way”? If you look at the beams above where you order, you’ll see a spear. This is the same spear that the Captain is holding in his portrait that you see just after the stretch room in HM.

Here's the menu from Allears, for those of you who are curious! My faves are the tuna sandwich (gotta luv zzuB!), and the clam chowder. They took away the bread bowl, which I"m peeved about, but change seems to be the norm these days at WDW.
Lighthouse Sandwich - hummus with tomato & broccoli slaw $8.09

Anchors Aweigh Sandwich - white tuna with lettuce and tomato on toasted multigrain bun $8.09

Chicken Breast Nuggets and Fish - Served with French Fries or Apple Slices $8.19

Fried Fish Basket - Served with choice of either French Fries or Apple Slices $7.09

Fried Shrimp Basket - Served with Coleslaw and French Fries $9.69

8 Chicken Breast Nuggets - Served with French Fries or Apple Slices $7.69

Garden Harvest Salad - mixed greens, chicken, garden vegetables, cheese and sunflower seeds $8.19

BLT Salad - Mixed greens with crispy chicken, bacon, egg, and tomato $7.69

Bowl of Vegetarian Chili $4.49

Bowl of New England Clam Chowder $4.49

French Fries $2.49
Coleslaw $2.39

Strawberry Yogurt $1.99
Chocolate Cake $3.59
Apple Crisp $3.59



By the way, I”ve decided to just start over with points. Cynthia and Shannn, PM with your address, and I”ll send you nice little prizey-poo. Not poo, a prizey-poo. This way, we can have more chances at prizey-poos because that’s more fun! Jordan, you and Pollito916 were only a half point off- I hope this round treats you better!

Next clue coming up soon!

 

[that's nice]

LOL I got it right but why I guessed CHH was wayyyyy off! LOL

Oh well.. ready for the next clue.

But I gotta get some shut eye.

 

[All7OfUs]

Here's my guess (in white) -
Columbia Harbour House

And as for dropping college classes, I did that one time only, as well. It was a P.E. class - canoeing, believe it or not. Sounded like fun, and an easy A.

First day of class met in the pool, where everyone sat around the edges and watched as one at a time, we had to swim out to the canoe floating in the middle of the pool, and hoist ourselves into the thing from the water.

I tried and tried and tried, but I just did not have the upper body strength to pull myself into that stupid canoe. I was so humiliated, after about 15 minutes I gave up, swam to the edge of the pool, got out, went to the locker room and got dressed, and walked directly to the Drop and Add office to get out of the class.

I ended up taking Bowling instead, which was much more my speed!

That's a pretty funny story!! You poor thing! I remember being totally humiliated in class once at UCI. I started sorta daydreaming, and then kinda, but not really, out of the blue, raised my hand and asked a ?? that was kind OT, and he rebuked me right there in front of God and everyone. I was so embarrassed, I remember hunkering down in my seat and just wanting to cry!! It was awful. Ah well, live and learn!

Good guess this time!! Nice to have you aboard!!

Ya think?



I'm here...just been busy!!!!!!!!



Great update! The best Disney day ever? After that last Wish trip? I didn't think that could be beat!

I'm so happy to hear Rachel is doing ok.

My guess is

Columbia Harbor House

Although I really have no clue but it's the only thing I can think of that has a captain and is near HM and is water related. I've never been there though...so really don't know!

Hey Cynthia!! Yes, I think everyone's busy these days- holidays tend to get people "in that way". I"ve not been posting as much lately either. and DH is about to take 2 weeks off, which is SERIOUSLY going to limit my online time.

I can tell who are the overachievers with this game. I include myself in that category, so you're in good company...

Talked with maroo agian this AM. Little update coming up...

Hey Liesa. Thanks for the maroo update. My guess would be Columbia Harbor House. Hope all is going well over that way!

You're all over the right answer!! Good job!

All is well here. I got another kind of cookie made yesterday, we got the BEST!!!!!! fireworks show EVER for the holiday (Seriously almost as good as anything at Disney World, just sans music/storyline) and I could watch them (totally NOT exagerating here) from my living room couch!!!! Cool, eh?? Living near the source has it's perks.

We have only eaten there once so I am going to say Columbia Harber House.

Great answer!! What led you to it?

I'm guessing: Columbia Harbor House. I think there is a pic of Davy Jones on Tom Sawyer's Island... and the ferry comes and goes... ????

Off to a bad start I'm afraid. Is there a prize for the winner???? Who won the last time?

Yes, yes, there a prizey-poo. I think you'll make it this time! Last time, it was Shannn and Cynthia. You were in 3rd, but you were gone for some of it!


Your reasoning on this cracked me up!!! WHERE did you get that stuff?!!

What are you guys guessing .... from what I m seeing my guess is

Rosie, everyone is highlighting their answers in white, so it becomes invisible. Of course you can highlight to view their answers, but we work on the honor system. If you REALLY don't want people to see your answer, you can always PM me.

my brain is too fried from eggnog and curly ribbon to think....so, I don't have any idea!

Were you snorting your eggnog??

Sorry I have been MIA again. I hope I can someday repay you.
Wow trivia, hugh?

So glad to hear Maroo is having a great time.

HA!!! YOu can. A stay at say AKL someday might work.

Maroo is having a blast!! More coming up!

My guess: Columbia Harbor House because you mention eating fish?!

Good guess, love the tuna sandwich here, but have heard the fish is pretty good too!! But how did you know it was even in MK??

Quick update from maroo:

When we chatted they were just leaving from the MVMCP at MK. The rain had held out all evening and the temps were in the 60s. They were very thankful for that! Just as they got to the bus stop it started pouring!!! She was sooooooooo thankful!!

They had an amazing evening, but I"ll let her tell you about that! You won't want to miss it- I PROMISE (you know maroo!) She says she has 1,000 pix!

Rachel is still healthy, and hasn't had a fever yet!! Remember her fevers were over 100 up until they left. PTL!!!

That's all I know... the last question I asked was what the highlight of her day was, but they were loading onto the bus, and she couldn't answer.

 

[All7OfUs]

awwww....puppies!!! i miss my doggies as puppies. i don't, however, miss house breaking and teeth marks on everything in my house.

cool about the girlfriend! i once dated a guy who made his parents think i was the pursuer when really he was. they didn't like me because of it. not saying your son is doing that but it just made me think of it when you said she was the pursuer.

her parents must be smart....i took anthopology in college as an "easy" class.....yeah, right! i ended up dropping it because it was harder than i thought. it's the only class i've ever dropped in my life. i could have managed but i had a really hard schedule that semester and that class was supposed to be the no-brainer. boy, did i get that one wrong!

DId I ever answer this?? I'm not sure I did, and I felt bad I was cut off the other day while posting in the middle of yours...

Oh yes! About pursuer vs. pursued. I remember now. Actually, I think it's turning out to be an equal sort of pursuit, it's just that she's more vocal than him- isn't it always that way with men vs. women. (well, most of the time)

I really like her so far. But, more importantly, my DS really likes her.



Puppies are doing well, we think. We coaxed Mommy out of the house today, so we could put more rice chaff in there for their bedding. They are so, sooo small!

 

[eandesmom]

A prizey poo?



Great Maroo, Puppies and GF updates

Do I have your e-mail address?? PM me!

 

[tinkgurl]

Good guess, love the tuna sandwich here, but have heard the fish is pretty good too!! But how did you know it was even in MK??

I didn't. It's just the one place that always comes to my mind when talking about eating fish at WDW.

 

[eandesmom]

Do I have your e-mail address?? PM me!

I just did! You should have my email addy I think Or send me a FB email.

 

[pipersmom]

Woohoo! For everyone who got Columbia Harbor House..I'll have to research the next one more..lol.

Thank you for the Maroo update..so glad Rachel is continuing to feel okay and not running fevers! I can't wait to hear all about it when they get back!

 

[disney<333]

HA!!! YOu can. A stay at say AKL someday might work.

Maroo is having a blast!! More coming up!

We'll talk when I win the lottery.
CHH was my first guess. I should of stayed with that. We were going to eat there in November but never did.
I'm so glad to hear the rain stayed away for Maroo until AFTER MVMCP was over. We had terrible rain last night here too. The roads were flooded. This morning too, I kept the girls home from school until it cleared up a bit.
Can't wait to hear what she does next!
Glad to hear Rachel is doing well too.

 

[jordanyosh]

CHH used to have a ham sandwich too...no more.

Hey Rebecca!

Feel free to check out my TR to see how 6 fit in a cabin....complete with Cabin pics!

How EMH saved our trip

REALLY depends on the makeup of the 6

It is the best option and value, IMHO, without going deluxe for a family of 6. You could do 2 rooms at a value I think for about the same but no kitchen, no deck. For us it worked. Of course it worked b/c it was a buy 4 get 3 but hey...whatever works!

If you are not a camper or into the outdoors and some in your party are "hotel/resort" type folks, it is not the place. If you like to camp and love the outdoors...it is perfect. Especially perfect if you need to let lazy teens sleep in and not feel trapped in a small room!

Thanks! I will check out your TR. I actually AM the camping type - I love it. Its my mom who isn't. Growing up, all our vacations were camping trips - which for her meant lots of work while my dad fished. Us kids had fun, though!

Gorgeous work, Liesa!
