Monorail Drink-A-Thon

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...

Unfortunately, I heard about it a little too late! So sad. I hope they reopen it eventually. It sounded like a great place to take a breather.

Unibroue Family? Is that pronounced UNIBROW? I've never heard of them. I'll have to look to see if they sell that around here and try it.

MAC3: Unibroue is a Canadian-based brewery. Their beers have high alcohol contents (for beer), but they are *so* good. I think they sell several types at the Canadian pavilion. I saw on another thread that they serve them in the restaurant and, at least during Food and Wine, at the Beavertail cart. Definitely check them out if you can find them in your area--yumm!

Boy, I'm such a freshman for someone my age!

Thanks underdesea for that explanation. Looks like DH & I have some catching up to do!

Did you click the reset button next to your new title/tag? If not, try that. If you did click the reset button, then try to change your tag without clicking the button. Sorry, I can't try it myself because of my sponsor tag.

Ah, you youngsters. You're making me feel old--not that I already don't anyway!

I just read this entire thread, and let me just say...

Woo Hoo!! I'm *HOME*!!!!

Our last WDW trip for awhile (since PAP's expire in Dec.) is coming up quickly, so might be a year or two before we go back. I wasn't all that excited about it since this will be our 4th trip this year, but now I'm looking forward to ending our marathon Disney year with a big *bang*!

Now, to figure out what to do about those pesky kids that keep following us everywhere....

 

[pixiedust23]

momtotwinglesx4- welcome! We love to get new lushes into the group. Hope you have a great time in 2 weeks and make sure you come back with a drink report for us!

 

[wildernesslodgelover]

Welcome momtotwindlesxs4!!!! We would like a full trip report when your return! And if you ever find a way to escape those pesky kinds...please share your secret! LOL!

I've had a glass of Primitivo tonight and I was wondering what the heck a twingles was and why you had 4 of them. Then, I figured out it was "twin girls x 4" and now I'm still confused . You have multiple multiples?!!?

Hi neighbor! (well, sort of!)

Twins + singles= twingles

I have one set of twins (b/g), and 3 singles (g/b/b). But at the time I joined this board, I only had 2 singles, so total of 4 kids. I've since had the 5th child, so I really *should* change it to "momtotwinglesx5. But I'm too lazy.

Clear as mud?

 

[robinb]

Thanks! It's clear now. With 5 kids, I can see why you'd like to hang out with us. I only have 1 child and she keeps me hopping!

 

[wildernesslodgelover]

Ummm, momtotwinglesxs4....I do not think I would classify you as "lazy!" 5 kids? Whoa, you are more woman that me! Like Robin, I have 1 DD (almost six) and I feel like I am busy all the time!

You DEFINITELY deserve a drink-a-thon!

momtotwinglesxs4, you're more woman than me, too!

Ok, so here's my plan for a monorail drinkathon with dh. Tell me if you have any better ideas:

1. Bribe dd16 to stay at hotel (Contemporary) with ds2. Provide them with food.

2. Take 3 middle kids (ds8, dd8, & ds4) via monorail to Poly and deposit at Neverland Club.

3. Proceed to Poly bar for

4. Monorail to GF lounge for

5. Monorail to MK--catch boat to WL. Dinner at Artist Point and

6. Boat to Contemporary--(do NOT go to room!)--go to Outer Rim lounge (or Cali Grille lounge?) for

7. Monorail to Poly for and then pick up kids at Neverland Club.

8. Monorail back to Contemporary. Put children to bed and go to sleep!

momtotwinglesx4,

Dinner in the middle will ruin yer buzz

One of these places has to have chicken wings

 

[spiceycat]

I think dinner at the Polyn's 'Ohana might be more fun.

but yes Artist Point is very romantic.

if you want to - take a walk along the beach between the GF and Polyn.

try to arrange your drinking schedule to be at the Polyn when the fireworks are going off at the MK - yes I know you are staying at the Cont - but I like the fireworks from the beach at the Polyn.

boy 5 drinks in one night - you are a very STRONG woman - plus 5 kids.....are you are staying in one room - or did you get two?

 

[momtotwinglesx4]

Gaiusrex -- I know, I thought about that. But I'm thinking that might be a *good* thing, lol.



spiceycat -- no, we needed two rooms for our family size. Five drinks are too many? Hmmm, I was thinking it might not be *enough*!

Hi all...was away doing crazy life stuff...I REALLY need to board the monorail D-A-T today as it looks like our long awaited Christmas/first Holiday to ourselves no In-Laws allowed/trip is in serious jeapordy. DH got word on his department RIF...thought we were safe, but it is not to be. I can't even fathom telling the kids. I am hopeful we will still make it, but the I refuse to say the "C" WORD...(CANCEL, THAT IS) Postpone is the way I am dealing with it..but I have such awesome rates for WL/Dolphin...I have to go and see my brothers band play this weekend to get my mind off of it.
WLL...I am in Chicago...a completely misplaced person. My folks are in Naples and my oldest brother is in Cape Coral...maybe with DH job woes we will chuck it all and head down there blind!?!?! Kinda hard w/a freshman and 5th grader tho. The Fins have def. raised my blood pressure these last few seasons. It made my day to see Whiney-Wanny get the boot. He still gets a nice $$$ due to his contract. He has a place in Naples...jsut hope I don't run into him .H e did enough damage, tho I think he perfected it up here in Chicago...the guy could never make up his mind who his Quarterback was gonna be 'till like, 5 minutes before game time. He should stick to looking like a german shepard and running his hand thru his hair. It's what he does best. Hey, they can only go up from here, eh?
Momtotwinglesx4...(o.k. I need to condense that to MTTX4 )GREAT PLAN...however, seeing as how th CR has the best arcade on WDW property..send lots and lots of cash along....and refillable cups for the slurpee machine...hey, they need their liquid refreshments as well as for #8...I may be going out on a limb here, but the kids may be putting YOU to sleep!
Man...we just HAVE to hang on to this trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy TGIF all!!!!! Cheers!!!!!!!!

momtotwinglesx4, welcome to our little world! and I think your plan is great... having a couple of cocktails before dinner and a couple after sounds perfect. Please report back to us when you get back. I shudder every time I think about 5 kids... I have only 1 DD and it's enough!
