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

Your poem did sound good, and some bier gartens do have benches. I think I may have made the association from the beer garden at Busch Gardens..LOL. As soon as you posted the follow-up clue it was the first thing that popped into my head. Not having been there was probably to my advantage with this one, since everyone who has been there knew it had chairs and not benches!

Ignorance is bliss, so they say! But, seriously you did great!!! Good job! Have you thought of doing this one??

Hello everyone!!!!

I am back!

You know that Post Disney Depression some of us get after a wonderful Disney World trip...Well, I got it.

For some reason, within hours, life hit me square in the face. As of this morning life is happening all around me and most of it is bad news. Personal junk with a couple of close friends and my boss' daughter is dying of cancer. She has 4 kids and it is Christmas - for crying out loud. Which people around here are doing a lot of.

Because my boss is out, I have a considerable amount of work to do - both catching up on mine and working on hers - so, Welcome Home, Mary, Welcome Home.

I have already started working on a trip report...I WILL be doing one for this trip. It was a trip FULL of many, many blessings and something that will be remembered for a long, long time.

So, I am not really glad to be home and can't even DIS for a bit - so hang with me! I will have lots of time this weekend with the Holidays.

 

[All7OfUs]

Welcome Home! Really, even though it's been hard, we are so happy that you are "back with us"!

You KNOW we can't wait to hear all about it!!

Hang in there until the weekend, and we'll see you then!

I did think about it, but I'm not sure how much Piper would eat there. I'm giving her the choice of Teppan Edo and Akershus. My mom is a huge fan of German food, she lived in Germany when my Dad was stationed there..I think for 3 or 4 yrs! We might end up there anyway considering that..lol.

DH got himself all snuggled down in his little hovel under the motor home, and the rest of us tucked in wherever we could find room inside. Yup, you read that right; he brought a sleeping bag, rolled it our under the RV and slept right there. He knew it’d be crowded on the inside, but I guess he was worried it might rain in the night. Whatever…

Are you sure he just wasn't avoiding your parents?



Armadillos are TRES cool. We'd have been thrilled to see one at the Fort but alas did not. Not exactly a creature us Northwesterners get to see is it! Of course we are also fascinated by gecko's and palmetto bugs.

Snakes. Not so much.

BLEH. I WORKED at BK and rather have a Tuna sandwich 9.5 times out of 10. Granted I'd rather have a tuna sandwich most days but am too lazy to make one. Somehow soup is faster. Or Turkey. All I know is there is one at CHH with my name on it whether anyone else eats with me or not (darn Cosmic Ray fanatics that lot!).

Sometimes I think it's more resentment of the production aspect, than the food itself if you know what I mean. I know in '04 I resented packing lunch every day. It would have been nice to be able to afford lunch out but it was out of the question. Frankly, had we not done the DDP, which we would not have were it not for the buy 4 get 3 promo savings, we'd have packed lunch the last trip every day as well. You make a good point though. I could see the same issues with my In Laws for our August trip.

But hey, at least you were packing it up inside the RV, not outside where the humidity sucked the life out of the bread before you could eat it. Oh the memories I have of lunches made out of the back of our car on the road!

On the flip side, at a certain point I want soemthing back at the ranch and get tired of eating out.

Sounds good to me! I'll let you know how the wenches and bier (no, no, not the beer, beer is wretched gross!) are in Sept.

Apparently there aren't any benches either. So, I"m all wet.

My poem sounded good, though.

Next clue coming in the AM.

I LOVED the poem!

It is so true at the holidays, the good is better and brighter, the bad...darker.

We will be here and can't wait to read about it!

They do have a decent selection of "american" food, my 2 pickier eaters filled up just fine though they vastly preferred Teppan Edo, dubbed the landslide favorite by all 4 kids.

Hi, Liesa! Just wanted to let you know that even if I don't post, I am following along. Nausea is really kicking my butt right now.

Maroo, welcome home! I thought of you while you were gone, hoping you were having a good time, my dear.

 

[All7OfUs]

Will write up replies to everyone in the morning. Had to go with a drowsy pill (allergies are wiping me out!!) so am totally wiped out!

Stay tuned for Rations Drop #3 Clue, too!!

 

[jordanyosh]

Welcome back Maroo!

 

[englishrose47]

Waiting for clue#3 I guessed right for #2 did I get my points ????

 

[jordanyosh]

Biergarten...not even on my radar.

Was your DH okay sleeping under the RV?

Disney noises while going to sleep.....magical....

 

[Pollito916]

I got lost....but I'm back now. So we're back on track with rations drops and retro disney trip reports - awesome! And bunches of more going on, it took me half the morning to catch up (while "working").

I liked the poem and Biergarten looks really cute inside, I think we'll have to put that on the extremely long list of restaurants to eat at next time we make it to WDW. I'm thinking I might have to stay there a month to eat at all of the places we want to eat at.

I really think she'd like Teppan Edo! Half show/ half great food!! We felt rushed at Akershus, but i know a lot of folks love the character thing- we don't really....

Are you giving your mom a shot at a pick too? Maybe this could be her meal of choice?

Are you sure he just wasn't avoiding your parents?

yes, yes YES!!! And he still does. They do NOT get along for the most part.

Armadillos are TRES cool. We'd have been thrilled to see one at the Fort but alas did not. Not exactly a creature us Northwesterners get to see is it! Of course we are also fascinated by gecko's and palmetto bugs.

Snakes. Not so much.

They are too cool!! Did you know they hiss when bugged?!

NO, we Northwesterners get to see beavers and coyotes and ducks. My in-laws place on the Willamette has a ton of snakes; my kids love to catch them and ooooh and ahhhh...

BLEH. I WORKED at BK and rather have a Tuna sandwich 9.5 times out of 10. Granted I'd rather have a tuna sandwich most days but am too lazy to make one. Somehow soup is faster. Or Turkey. All I know is there is one at CHH with my name on it whether anyone else eats with me or not (darn Cosmic Ray fanatics that lot!).

EWWWWWWW! Working fast food sucks!! I worked at TB for a short while (until the manager told me to go get hit by a bus when I gave my notice).

I still love me some Mexican though.

And I will be on your side forever with tuna yummies! And when you get yours with your name on it, I will be cheering you on!

On the flip side, at a certain point I want soemthing back at the ranch and get tired of eating out.

I think there needs to be a balance when there's such a mixed group. and expectations spelled out early on. My parents are pretty unreasonable in this dept. though, so it wouldn't have mattered.

This trip is out every meal. I think I may be even bagging the Garden Grocer idea, as I suspect some of our CS meals can be split and we can pick up a couple of breakfasts.

I LOVED the poem!

Thanks!

It is so true at the holidays, the good is better and brighter, the bad...darker.

We will be here and can't wait to read about it!

I just found out that both my grandfathers are in intensive care- one needs a blood transfusion, the other has pneumonia. The good and the bad....this year seems to be more full of hard stuff.

They do have a decent selection of "american" food, my 2 pickier eaters filled up just fine though they vastly preferred Teppan Edo, dubbed the landslide favorite by all 4 kids.

Duly noted...

Maroo, welcome home! I thought of you while you were gone, hoping you were having a good time, my dear.

I remember this all too well. You poor thing!!! Drink lots of ginger tea, and I've heard lemon anything helps too. I just tried to sleep more, and loved having an excuse to.

Waiting for clue#3 I guessed right for #2 did I get my points ????

Coming right up!

Biergarten...not even on my radar.

REally?! Who doesn't like sausages?? and taters? and beer? (well, I detest beer, but they have all kinds of other good stuff too). And think you even have cyber liederhosen to fit the occasion!

He was fine... I guess. I didn't see him much in the morning, but that's getting ahead of myself.

I"m sooooooooooooooo glad you back wtih us!!! You know you came in 2nd last time around, right??!! You could be a winner this time; there's lot of time to catch up on this round! WOW! You really read it all?? Huge Kudos to you!! That's quite a lot of stuff!

I have a long list too, and it was hard to throw some out, which you'll inevitably have to do too. There's just too many good places!!

 

[All7OfUs]

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Here is the next clue for Rations Drop. Hopefully, this one will be easier than the last one!! Good luck!

This is one of only 2 places I'm going to becuase of one of you! You know who you are.... When I fall into a sugar coma while riding the monorail to EPCOT later, you can blame yourself. That is, if I don't have a caffeine-induced frenzy first. And if it's not the sugar or caffeine that does me in, then certainly the lard fried /mush-stuffed breakfast item will.
