Monorail Drink-A-Thon

[Aidensmom]

Do you mean the Sept. 30/Oct. 1 weekend?
That would work for me!!

Yep, that is the one I mean. I am actually going to be making room reservations soon for that weekend as we plan to go for Food and Wine, and if we can start it off with a monorail drink-a-thon, then that's even better.

We'll be at BWV from Sept. 22 - Oct 2. If there's a Monorail drink-a-thon scheduled anytime while we're there, count us in!

By the way, I just scored my first stash of alien green Mickey heads from Home Depot so I'll be crafting them into name tags this weekend.

What are the beers that are offered in the "beer flight" at Biergarten? Had this last time and loved one of the dark beers! Not really a dark beer drinker, but it was awesome! I know you can get it in a larger size, but I'm not sure which one it was! It was the sweeter, smoother of the 2 dark beers. Can anyone help?

Hi crzy4MK!

I am not a beer drinker, but I know Foever42 is! I am hoping she will see this and be able to answer your question.

How does September 29th sound to everyone?
And then maybe we could meet up on Saturday at the F&W Fesitval.

OH!!!! I am going on the Ladies Trip and I was looking for something to do while the rest of them go to MNSSHP. I'll miss my DD too much if I see all the cute little trick-or-treaters. Count me IN!

ETA: I would prefer a Monorail Drink-A-Thon so we can watch Wishes for the Polynesian Beach (with a LapuLapu) or from the Contemporary.

This seemed like a good place to post my question. May be a dumb one, but here goes. We are planning our first Disney trip in November. Just found out the Alabama/Auburn football game will be the 18th, the day we arrive. (ROLL TIDE!!! ) Can someone tell me where would be a good place to relax, throw back a few coctails, and watch the game?? BIG bama fans here, and I will be extremely upset/ no scratch that/ it will kill me if I miss it. Any ideas?? And (just one more dummy newbie question) what is a LOTW?? Just wondering if I am one or if I could be a LOTW in the making! Thanks...

 

[magicmirror]

sorry, just noticed I misspelled cocktails.
I reelly can spell, I promuss.

 

[babywewe]

wow this is a popular thread! hehehehe. I also want to "drink around the world" ie drink around epcot.

Hardest part of this is to contain yourself and be respectfull to those around you. I dont want to disrespect the mouse!

LOTW = "Lush of the World" and yes, I think you are one in the making .

I would suggest the ESPN Club at The Boardwalk resort. They have TVs in the *bathrooms*. Grab a place in the bar area since you'll be there for hours. The bar waitstaff are used to that kind of thing. The bar food is OK ... not great but OK. I watched a couple of Badger football games there.

Hi RobinB! So good to "see" you. we will be at WDW from Oct 29-Nov 4...any chance you will be around then?

Oh...ESPN Club. I am not a sports fan but even *I* reminisce about that place! Last night, DH, DD and I were playing the "If you were at WDW right now, where would you like to be" game and DH said ESPN...in one of the booths in the bar area with the TV in it.

Hi Baby and magic and punkin! Welcome!

hey, so no one has an answer to crzy4mk's question?

Hi! I'm going in mid-August for the start of the Free Dining plan with my family (sister's family, parents, etc) and then at the end of the Free Dining from 9/29-10/2 for the Ladies Only trip. We keep on missing each other . I'll be back again for my regular Christmas/NYE trip, but we're taking the summer of 2007 off from WDW because we're going to Japan in August instead (and Tokyo DL ).

 

[magicmirror]

Thanks! ESPN it will be. We are staying at POR, hopefully its not too far from there.

Planning on becoming an official LOTW-er while at Disney. I have read through some of the posts on this thread and gotten ideas of where to have a totti or 2, and certaindrinks I want to try, such as a backscratcher, Lapu Lapu and an Endless Summer. If there's anything else anyone can think of thats "really good", let me know, I will add it to my itenerary. I will almost surely try almost anything. As far as the countries in Epcot, do they mostly offer beer?
If so I can skip the extra curricular beverages there, I can't do much beer.
Thanks again, I am soooo excited about going!!
I saw the pics of when some of you guys met up, looks like you had lots of fun!
oh yeah, one more question, my favorite is a Mudslide. Any ideas on where in Disney they may make a good one? I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, but I skipped around a good bit.

There is a lot of good wine in the countries in Epcot if you are a wine drinker.

A drink that I had last trip that I am looking forward to having again is a Chocolate Martini at Raglan Road. VERY good.

Magicmirror - Before you go to ESPN Club, ask at POR whether they will show the game on the big screen in the lounge there. The lounge at POR is awesome, and they often show the games. They always made a big deal of Monday Night Football (RIP). If not, ESPN is always a great place to watch the game.

The Beer flight beers offered are: Lowenbrau, Optimator, Franziskaner, Dinkel Acker Dark

 

[wildernesslodgelover]

Thanks tootles! Hopefully crazy4mk will see that!

Ffugitve-That is a good point about the lounge at POR!

Robin-DARN! I have no doubt we will meet up at WDW eventually. Hopefully before our DDs are teens! OMG...DL TOKYO? I cannot wait to hear about that trip!

Cheers!

Ok guys! With the FREE Dining Package out, I am going to come in on September 29th or 30th and will stay likely through the 5th of October - so Jennifer at least we will have one night together, LOL. Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Also, if anyone wants a quote on the FREE Dining Package, email me at dagny@dreamsunlimitedtravel.com and give me your details (will need names of all travelers and ages of all kids to hold a reservation for you). If we can get 8 or more travelers in our group, we can make it a GRAND GATHERING and be entitled to some additional perks.... (ok I know, I know a shameless plug for Dreams but hey it works!!!) FREE FOOD? I am so there - haha!

Ok you all, I look forward to hearing from you
