May 2009 WDW Meet. . .

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

LOL...one of the topics could be please discuss which you prefer and why, the glowtini or the lapu lapu...you have two minutes...start...NOW!

I haven't tried either. I guess those will be my first two drinks to try...Just how big are these drinks? I remember reading earlier about 24oz drinks Oh brother, I need to get my tolerance built up...

Is it May yet?

I haven't tried either myself...I have really only been to WDW because conferences have brought me there. But I have been obsessively reading these boards for the past year so I feel like an old pro even though I'm not.

For the prices they charge they better be big drinks!

Relax Roseanne, the glowtini is the same size as a martini. . .lapu lapu on the other hand comes in a hollowed out pineapple so that might be a bit large. Also the 32 oz "punch" from Jellyrolls is not your typically strong beverage just REALLY BIG. . .I prefer a nice glass of wine or two or three or . . .hey, I am not drunk, just really tired. . .trust me. . .

Ok I got a ? for all the locals or others who have seen. I was looking at things the happen while I'm at WDW and noticed that on May 12th and May 15th there will be shuttle launches. Atlantis first then Endevor, I was wanting to know if you can see this from WDW. Kennedy is only what 60 miles away.

Yes. Two years ago we were at BWI when they launched the shuttle and we saw it go right over while we stood out in front of the resort (looked like a darn bunch of tourists out there staring up at the sky looking for UFOs!)
If my DH finds out they're lauching the day before we get there, he'll slip off down there early without me just to watch since I won't go to the Space Center with him! I can see it now: we get to the airport and I turn around and ask DD: where's your dad?" She replies, "Well, mom, he left yesterday!"

What time do the launches generally take place?

What time do the launches generally take place?

They vary... have to check the NASA site to see what the current times are. They can change quickly because of weather or if something isn't showing right with equipment. Sometimes they are delayed until a window later in the day, or else scrubbed for another day. I have some friends that work there. See if I can find some info, but the web site should tell you too.

 

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

Thanks, I went to the NASA website a few days ago and there was nothing for the 15th...be sure to let us know if you get any inside info from your friends.

Dang, and you don't even know Tracy yet. . .she is "sweet and innocent". . .and she will gladly tell you. But I can NEVER dis Tracy. . .she did get me water during a really drunken moment which brought me back to life. . .sort of.

I know it's weird, I already feel like I know them and meeting in person is just a formality we need to get out of the way.

The NASA launch schedule lists it but the calendar doesn't... I find it easiest to look at KSC's event calendar:

http://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/events.aspx#2009/5/0/

and filter on shuttle launches... right now, Atlantis is targeting a 5/12 launch for Hubble servicing, and Endeavour a 5/15 launch to the ISS (3-day turnaround seems a bit ambitious to me... they may not have moved back Endeavour's target date to account for Atlantis' mission delays) NASA shows launch times TBD, but some of the touring sites list 1:11pm.

I took a gamble that there's going to be a delay (I fly in the afternoon of the 13th) and bought launch tickets for STS-125 (Atlantis) so hopefully I can drive over and watch from the Visitor Complex...
