Mel's Unflashy June 2008 TR: Funnel cakes have fewer calories in FL. Updated 12/2!!

[DisneyJo]

Well, Mel, you missed Jo again. It's been 5 1/2 hours now. Guess she'll just have to catch up tomorrow because we want an update TONIGHT!!!!!

I'm going off you

I didn’t redneck it on the tv, I DID buy it, but I had to redneck the photo at home because the scanner is broken!

Great photo, you brave thing putting your arm up

I say (while pantomiming), “the line, over there, you GET IN, move, hellooooo?”
Nothing. I get nothing.

You tell him Mel

1. This is the FIRST Itzakadoozie pop of my trip. Pay attention people. There will be more.
When I purchased it, the girl said I was the first person all day to say it correctly.

So how do you pronounce it????

I have pics of Bob doing the waterslide but he forbid me to post them.

Did he say no to PM's?

SORRY JO!

OK you're forgiven!

Well Jo.. Mel has an excuse for why she posted AFTER you went to bed.. looks Legit.

It does look like it was a genuine reason! I'll let her off this time

 

[Lauralee131]

Janet.. not only is Mel "SNEAKY" but she as an attitude.. and will use it when somone tries to take her spot in a picture line
(note to self... do not cross Mel unless I have her glasses

That was awesome Katt...I can just see Mel without her glasses squinting and swinging wildly in the air..."where'd ya go? where'd ya go? I see ya!"

J/K Mel!!

Are you a communist or something? I thought it was a law theat everyone has to like funnel cake

Nope...I don't really like it either...Now give me a Zepole at an Italian Feast, that's something you don't want to get in my way of....Yummmm

Man, I miss those...I'm going to need a moment with my thoughts...

Look away...I just daydreamed my way through about 150 points Mel!!

 

[kykatt2]

You are first. But, you don't win a funnel cake. Janet's already getting two and Katt one. I am going to have to get a job to afford anymore.....But, I will let you have some of my weiner salad....

Uh.. I was not offered a funnel cake... Don't like them anyway. I wasn't offered anything




I

That was awesome Katt...I can just see Mel without her glasses squinting and swinging wildly in the air..."where'd ya go? where'd ya go? I see ya!"

J/K Mel!!

O.K. I feel better.. had a a massage gift certificate from my Birthday I am just now using. Who needs Alcohol.. chocolate... who needs a man

 

[carrieannie]

Yeah I have..

I.... wanted to be the one to notice the slinky dog pin on the "then" picture coinciding with the name change! Enjoyed the update. Also love the TTA as do most people. Kinda funny how something that goes slow and steady around a track with no dips is a favorite ride! BTW...I've never had a funnel cake! Fried dough I've partaken in, but not funnel cake. Please don't ban me from this TR!

~Beka~

 

[kafitty]

you are such a good mom to go on Space Mtn over and over again with your kiddos!!

i just finished reading your other TR, i'm so glad you felt much better this trip! (or am i speaking too soon? ::cue dramatic music here:: ....hahah i kid, i kid)

Do you have an IHOP? The only time I go there is when they have their funnel cakes. Mmmmmmm.....

 

[NurseJamie]

Hi Mel!!!

I am loving your TR! You have such a great sense of humor and I love the way you write. Not a Nascar fan, and I've never had a funnel cake, either, we usually just have plain old fried dough around here. Maybe you have inspired me for next trip...

I'll be tagging along for the rest of the trippie!

 

[LuccaDrake]

Do you have an IHOP? The only time I go there is when they have their funnel cakes. Mmmmmmm.....

We do have one but I've only been there once when I was....maybe 9? I'm just not into the fruit on the top. I just want the yummy, fatty dough with lots of powdered sugar and cinnamon! But maybe I'll have to taste test this year at Disney. I already have some other snacks on a list to try after doing a lot of research on the dining forum. I will report back in September in my TR.

Janet Missed it by that much
Flashback photos... Depressing aren't they ?? I did one on my PTR showing the kids growing up before my eyes.

Janet.. not only is Mel "SNEAKY" but she as an attitude.. and will use it when somone tries to take her spot in a picture line
(note to self... do not cross Mel unless I have her glasses

Well Jo.. Mel has an excuse for why she posted AFTER you went to bed.. looks Legit.

The Boys LOVE Space Mountain... ya should have hooked up with me sooner... I could have gotten them on Space Mountain with a Fast Pass 1st.. then you grab a SECOND PAIR... run to Splash Mountain... then grab BTMRR FP's while you went back to RIDE Space Mountain AGAIN..

We usually do get a second pair but not this time. I DO have an attitude, I hate line "cutters!!" It's sad when they grow up but I love every stage they're at...
MY EXCUSE IS 2 LEGIT 2 QUIT, anyone? anyone?

Love It
He probably understood every word being said
Then she should have given it to you for free

And who made him the boss of you



Ugh, how aggravating. Hope it gets straightened out for you.
That's okay I already got my funnel cake, which according to Mel has less calories in FLA!

YES And, the judge at the Peoria County Courthouse....

Are you a communist or something? I thought it was a law theat everyone has to like funnel cake

Communists don't eat Funnel cake? No wonder they're so grumpy.

Truth is, I can never keep track of everyone's fictitious character names. I rely on context to help figure out what's happening to whom... which can be pretty funny when I get them mixed up!

sigh. I can't WAIT to ride Splash once again. Leo has vetoed it infinitum, but I'm still hopeful my day will come...

Oh boy, I love Itzakadoozies! Or would the plural be Itzakadoozi?

They sure have! I just finished making Leo's photobook and was kind of shocked by the number of WDW photos, but I like being able to see him in the same place at different ages.

The plural would be Itzakadoozits. HA! LOL!

Nope, too sweet and heavy feeling for me. I am a salty snack girl.

I like em all!

What is this strange pop of which you speak? Never heard of it.
I refuse to ride Space Mountain. I would love it if the ride was smoother. I'm a huge coaster fan but don't like feeling like I have whiplash when I get off. DH is really the only one that wants to ride it though. He just drags DS on with him.

Great then and now pics!
Why does it have to be so hard to get our kids schedules to work out? I cringe when I think of people with five or six kids actually doing music lessons, soccer and scouting all at the same time.

Sometimes, I think what it would be like if I couldn't drive. sigh
The Itzakadoozie pop is a ?lemon? popsicle, with stripes of lime, strawberry and orange that curl up and around the popsicle to the top. It's heavenly on a hot Disney day!

Great photo, you brave thing putting your arm up
UH, cuz they're so FLOPPY? Or just cuz I'm not holding on?
You tell him Mel
YEP
So how do you pronounce it????
It's a Ka Duzi
Did he say no to PM's?
YES
OK you're forgiven!
thanks, Jo...

Sometimes in the morning, I can't find my glasses on the nightstand I'm so blind. It's helpful when the kitchen and bathroom are really GROSS though! Just whip those babies off and PRESTO! Clean!
Mmmmmmmmmmmm........zepole. Ok, I think my thighs grew just THINKING it.

Uh.. I was not offered a funnel cake... Don't like them anyway. I wasn't offered anything O.K. I feel better.. had a a massage gift certificate from my Birthday I am just now using. Who needs Alcohol.. chocolate... who needs a man

Glad you enjoyed your massage, Katt!

I`ve never had a funnel cake! I`ve gotten water and soda at Sleepy Hollow, but never a funnel cake,,dont know why.
Katt, did you go for your massage yet oh and,,,,,,I NEED ALCOHOL!!

Ok, Carrie, I'm with you! It's because we're New Englander's. I never met one that didn't like the Boozey Boozey.

I.... wanted to be the one to notice the slinky dog pin on the "then" picture coinciding with the name change! Enjoyed the update. Also love the TTA as do most people.

Dude, you and Carrie, get your bums over there and GET A FUNNEL CAKE.
LOVE the TTA! Sorry, I should have let you find the Slinky by yourselves!

i just finished reading your other TR, i'm so glad you felt much better this trip! (or am i speaking too soon? ::cue dramatic music here:: ....hahah i kid, i kid)

WOW, you over-achiever! Thanks for reading both! And thanks for the compliment. I try to be a good mom, most of the time! WOW lots of Boston/MA/NE peeps. You be my peeps! I am from there after all.....

Do you have an IHOP? The only time I go there is when they have their funnel cakes. Mmmmmmm.....

Mmmmmmmmm. Ihop!

Hey, another Boston and another JAMIE! AWESOME! Or should I say, "Wicked!!!!" Yeah, I'm from theh! That's why you like my sense of humor. We're practically related!
Glad you're reading along!
Well, we did call it fried dough back home. (AH, fried dough on the boardwalk at Hampton!!!! YUM!!!!)

We do have one but I've only been there once when I was....maybe 9? I'm just not into the fruit on the top. I just want the yummy, fatty dough with lots of powdered sugar and cinnamon! But maybe I'll have to taste test this year at Disney. I already have some other snacks on a list to try after doing a lot of research on the dining forum. I will report back in September in my TR.

Beka,
Get one in Disney, it's good. Promise!

I've never had funnel cake either! Am I missing out or what!!

 

[Muffinygood]

I've never had funnel cake either! Am I missing out or what!!

No freakin' way. Hi Lin!
How's Mr. Buzz?! I miss you guys....
But, I don't miss *someone else*. Glad you came
by to read my TR! Yes, you are missing out if
you haven't had a funnel cake!

 

[Muffinygood]

stupid double posts!

 

[jcc0621]

I've never had funnel cake either! Am I missing out or what!!

Hey Linnie, how are you guys doing?

 

[cmp1111]

Hi Linnie!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

No I am NOT happy. New rule, installments are not permitted to be posted between 8pm and 10:30 EST.

Pssh! You be quiet Janet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yickes! I've missed 2 installments!!

I love the sound of that Train Tour - I know my Evan will love it! Can't wait to take him! Poor Gus - good thing you're a good momma and got him his funnel cake to make him feel better!

Your TTA pics are darling! They grow so fast, don't they?

I have a confession to make... I've never had a funnel cake OR an ITZAKADOOZIE - although I've seen them a million times at DLR. I don't know about the whole fried dough thing...

 

[princessjv]

ITZAKADOOZIE and Funnel Cakes in the same update! YUMMO!

 

[LuccaDrake]

I want to hear about weather and crowds as we are going next September !!

I feel like I'm hijacking this thread a little. Sorry!

September is very hot, think 95 degrees each day with 100% humidity. At least that's how it feels! It really is in the 90's, but other than having to stand in the glaring sun waiting for the buses at POP, it's not bad in the parks. This is due to low crowds, so therefore you are not standing in line very long and can be inside where the A/C is! The longest we ever waited for a ride was 20 minutes. Of course we always make good use of fast passes. I would love to share more with you and if you have any specific questions, please PM me!
