May 2009 WDW Meet. . .

[tojoes]

Okay, well, the monorail crawl is friday so it will not interfere with the "quest" (i.e.; drinking around the world) which is happening on Sunday. I am warning you all now as I have said in the past, something happens to dissers as they pass the slushie stand in France and it becomes the permanent resting spot.

Hahahaha - I have been told stories about the slushie stand!!! I fear for Brain Freeze after a few of those!!! - I'm hoping some tasty Sake or a potential Margerita will persuade the crowd to start moving again

try the mango gingeritas in the China pavilion... just enough ginger to make you thirsty for more.. dangerous stuff, but delicious!

Joe - I am totally with you!! The first time I rode that (shortly after it opened) - the 3 other people with me were dying to get off .....while I was hoping Gary Sinise was going to come back on the monitor and tell us we were going to fly back to Earth after landing!!!!

Well I heard all these horror stories and then I rode the thing and was like..."you mean that's it?" I've experienced worse than that flying in my Dad's plane. I know they turned it down from when it first opened, so here's my thought. They should have one "Green Team" that doesn't spin, two "Orange Teams" as they are now, and one "Red Team" that spins as fast or even faster than it did when opening. I mean if I'm not going at least 5 or 6 G's then we just gotta talk.

I'd just love to pop a playstation fighter jet simulator game in there and fly it around for a while.

I have had a hangover at the Happiest Place on Earth...one of the worst in my life...and it didn't magically disappear until about 6pm the next day...not interested in repeating that ...have you ever ridden the monorail with a hangover? I don't recommend it.

But lesson learned...this time around plenty of food and water and pacing and I (we) will hopefully be fine.

That's the thing though, lessons about drink seldom stay learned! I've always had my last hangover til the next time.

I'm glad I own stock in Disney. I mean just the bar tabs alone from the week in May will surely make the stock price jump by a few bucks a share!!!

Oh my lord...drinking AND rides...
I think I'll grab a bench...

I know, I think it will be more fun to just sit and watch.

boys always want to play Spaceship Man.

Yes, but if I hear or see someone spew...it's all over for me!!
My bench won't be near the ride exit!

No it's ok...I think it was a combination. I went to the bar at CBR intending to have one beer than get dinner. The bartender was really cool and chatty so I had another than she gave me a free one. So 3 draft beers is a lot for me especially on an empty stomach. I was a little loopy after that.

But I was starving and I went to dinner at House of Blues...ate a great filet but also had a glass (maybe two...honestly can't remember) of red wine (which I really did not need).

So for me...it was probably the amount...combining beer and wine (wine gives me terrible hangovers I probably won't drink more than a glass with dinner during this trip)...not eating before starting drinking...etc. I made a lot of rookie mistakes.

Thanks, Amy. I will definitely make sure I eat and pace myself.

Good point...cause I had already made all those same mistakes many, many times before...yet I did it again!

And everytime I wake up the next morning thinking darn it I know better!!

 

[APB513]

It's ok Angela...I'll go shopping with you while they ride Mission Space. I got dragged on that once...the bad side...never again!

Sounds good to me!

combining beer and wine...

that'll do it every time. you don't even have to drink all that much. Amy's Adage: never mix the "grape" and "grain".

 

[APB513]

i was just kidding - i love mission:space.....but i know more than a few who don't like it at all - sober.... nevermind with booze.... It's funny how they put their most stomach turning ride in the park with the most alcohol for sale!!!..... ok, back to the Quest - ..... i'm thinking like an Indiana Jones theme - how 'bout - "The Dis'ers and the Quest for the Fountain of Booze".... or "The Dis'ers and the World Showcase of Doom" ...

I like them both but I'm voting for "the fountain of booze".

The word "doom" sounds to forboding

 

[tojoes]

ok, ok...perhaps the ride idea and the 'Quest' don't quite go hand and hand.... perhaps we shouldn't drink and ride .... i'm all for the larger the group, the better - so we def wouldn't want to scare anyone off!!! If we do any rides, it'll be the Mexican Boat ride

I like this one too.

Maybe we should name it "The Grape OR Grain Quest"...we could have two teams...which category does Margaritas/ Slushies fall into?

Tequila is agave plant...sooooo...grape or grain or plant quest?

Ok, how about a marathon. Have a drink, go on Mission Space...another drink, go on Expedition Everest...another drink, etc...ending with the finale, TWO SHOTS and onto Rockin Roller Coaster/Tower of Terror. Those left intact (that's spew-free) will win the prize!!!

Beer and most mixed drinks are grain based. Grand Marnier (in orange slushies) however has a brandy base which is distilled from grapes.
