Monorail Drink-A-Thon

[ctrabada]

ahhhhhhh, welcome back! we missed ya

finfan, welcome to our special little world

robinb, I loooove the monorail thingy with the LOTW!!!!

 

[wildernesslodgelover]

Welcome finfan! There is a lot of drama going on with them these days, huh? I am not a football fan at all, so i don't really follow it! So do you live in FL yet? Where in FL are you moving to? I am just west of Ft Lauderdale, but I am a 3rd generation native Miamian!

Robinb-Whew! Thanks for explaining that for me! I do not think I could do it again if my life depended on it! OMG...I wanna know, along with Cristy...HOW DID YOU DO THAT? that is SOOOO COOOOL!

Ok, I am sipping on some chardonnay and going to get some sushi (my FAVORITE thing, besides dirty martinis) with DH in just a minute!

How weird! I just went out and bought a bottle of pinot to enjoy with my sushi tonight.

Great minds think alike!

I found a picture of one of the monorail pins from 2000 and brought it up in Photoshop. I removed the word "2000" from the pin and entered "LOTW". I found the Disney Ears font on the web too. It has a white box around it that I'd like to remove, or make transparent but that was too much trouble for right now. I'm not sure I have the appropriate software on my PC.

I'm glad you like it .

I've got the wife on-board, so I'll be doing the drink-a-thon on either Tuesday or Thursday NEXT WEEK!

I don't think we'll make it to WL. (Liquor and boat rides don't mix with her), but since we're at CR, we can start at The Outer Rim, over to the Tamboo Lounge, on to Mitzner's (should I hit a different bar at the GF?). Then back to the CR with a night cap at the Cali Grill.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm not looking to change my signature. I'm looking to change my tag (the writing under my name on the left hand side of the screen).

OMG!!! I haven't been around much these days so I thought I'd pop in. I can't believe you drunks are up to 25 pages


I just got back from a quick trip Nov2-5. The crowds were unbelievable...so much so that we (my two friends and I) were FORCED to skip alot of attractions and drink our way around the worlds

I tried the fieista margaretta in Mexico...can't remember who suggested it but, it was awesome. After an intense night of drinking and dancing in Pleasure Island, we could not propell ourselves away from the pool bar at the Dolphin the next day!!LOL.

 

[wildernesslodgelover]

Cantw8-Aww, I don't wanna hear that! We are gonna be there next weekend and I was hoping for a slow time of year. Now, maybe Epcot was just extra busy due to the F&W festival? Or do you think everything on WDW property was busy?

PD-I "think" I did it under "profile" but I cannot remember. I am sure one of these computer savvy drunks will know! LOL!

Gaisrex-Have fun! yeah, I can see where a boat ride and alcohol could be a losing combination! I really like Mizner's lounge, so I vote for that one.

 

[pixiedust23]

Cantw8- Would love to hear a detailed LOTW trip report (including the bars/drinks you tried...if you can remember them! ) Very jealous of your trip it's been over a year since I've gone and since I am currently job hunting I don't see a trip in my near future.

 

[Cantw8]

Wildernesslodgelover....
All the stinking parks were packed!! I think it was a combination of alot of things, the tail-end of Halloween, Jersey Week, hurricane re-bookers and the Food and Wine. I think you will be OK.

If not, just do what we did....sample the alcoholic beverages from everywhere!!! I have been so many times that it really didn't bother me to miss attractions, actually, this was the most relaxing trip I have ever had.

Sorry. Brain fart. To change your tag do this:

Go to "User CP"
Click on "Edit Profile"
Scroll Down to "Custom User Text:"
Enter "Charter Member of LOTW" in the "New Title" box and click "reset" next to it.
Click on "Submit Modifications"

Be aware that if you have a Sponsor Tag (like mine) changing your tag will delete it. If you want to keep your sponsor tag and change the text under it you have to ask someone to do it over on the Technical Support board.

Have a great time! Hmm ... good point about liquor and boats. We were planning to start and end at the WL because we can park there easily. Maybe we'll start at the CR instead. We can walk there from the MK busses or get a 2 hour parking pass. I think we'll start at CR, boat to WL, boat back or maybe take the bus to the TTC, walk/monorail to the Polynesian and end up at the GF.

Why don't you get a drink at Narcoossee's? You can take you drink out on the balcony and watch the castle change colors or see the fireworks if you time it right. Just make sure you don't stand in front of someone who's eating inside. We had some very rude people block our view of the FW and they were not even guests of the restaurant!

 

[wildernesslodgelover]

oooo, Robin...that would get me MAD!

Cantw8-Believe me...if it was up to me and my DH we would skip the parks. But we have our DD almost 6 with us. We are gonna do Epcot on Friday evening, and MK on Sunday. saturday we are spending all day at the AKL...pool, then i will do the culinary tour at 4 pm. then DD is going to Simba's clubhouse for a few hours so DH and I can have martinis and alone time! then dinner at Boma that night!

Darn it, I really dislike the crowds....we got spoiled going so much in Dec 2001/Jan2002. The parks were so empty, you could just stay on the rides, there was literally no lines.

 

[ctrabada]

Gaiusrex, have a great time!!! When we go in Dec, we'll be staying at WL so we plan to start and stop there... We took the boat from Epcot to the Boardwalk after our F&W fest and DH & I were both fine (you can read my report on page 9 of this thread), so I guess alcohol and boats don't affect us...

Cantw8, those fiesta margaritas are awesome! That was our last drink at the F&W and it capped the whole event quite nicely.

My only plans for Dec right now are: dinner at Boma's on 12/25, Monorail-drink-a-thon (haven't decided what day) and just enjoy the Xmas decorations around the world... I know the parks will be packed so I don't plan on doing many rides... just walk and enjoy the decorations and ambiance...

The setting is right under where you can set your birthday

In the year and a half I've been coming to these boards, I think I've posted in this thread more than any.

See we've all found a home. Or maybe we can call it a halfway house.

Welcome back Cantw8. You trip sounds like it was a blast! Did you happen to run into a group of 4 drunks from Massachusetts in your travels anywhere? My friend is down there right now with her HS friends.

 

[pixiedust23]

AHHHHH I can't get it to work! I thought you only had to have 75 posts to change it! But it just won't change from DisVeteran!

ps. sorry AHHHHHH that was not specifically directed at you, just an expression of extreme frustration!

 

[underdesea]

Hey, it's great to hear of everyone's trips and live vicariously through your fun! My DH and I were just discussing the Cat Walk Bar the other day. Does anyone remember this? It was a cool little bar upstairs from the Brown Derby at MGM. We always stopped there for a break from the crowds, and the bartenders were the best. Plus they had a great beer selection--that's where I was introduced to the Unibroue family--ahh, La Fin du Monde and Blanche de Chambly--two of my favorites. And we can't get them in our state. I really miss the Catwalk...
