Monorail Drink-A-Thon

[DisneyaHolic23]

Meg Meg - The photos are GREAT!! I do agree that photos tell the story oh, so well. I, too, want to know what you drank at each stop.

We only have 19 days until we leave for a week at the World. Since we are taking the 80-year-old inlaws, we won't get to do the Monorail drinkathon. We will, however, definitely make a visit to Jellyrolls and the Comedy Warehouse. Plus, we should get enough to drink at the Food & Wine Festival!!

WLL - Heck yeah they were blue cheese stuffed olives! Yum! lol! Yeah, we get carded alllllll the time! Most of the time bartenders/wait staff are really cool, but every once in a while one of them will give us a menacing stare, like we are trying to drink underage or something....we just happily show them our ID. Hehe! Oh, yes we did eat along the way....just some appetizers at TL and Outer Rim.

Disneyaholic - You will love Jellyrolls! It's sooo much fun!

Okay, here's what we drank where....

Territory Lounge - Me: Dirty Martini; DH: Pepper Pine Cone (AKA bloody mary)
Outer Rim Lounge - Me: Domaine St. Michelle Sparkling Wine; DH: Space Monkey ( I think that's the name....it's a alcoholic ice cream drink)
Tambu Lounge - we shared a Malibu Mackaw - Yum!
Mizner's - Me: French Martini (had chambord, vodka, and pineapple juice...I think); DH: Coco-tini

Outer Rim Lounge - Me: Domaine St. Michelle Sparkling Wine; DH: Space Monkey ( I think that's the name....it's a alcoholic ice cream drink)

Quick Q - Is the Space Monkey loaded with banana flavor and is it chunky? That's the only thing that I'm hesitant about!

Sounds like you had a great time!! Thanks for the pics - helps me remember that my trip isn't so far away and takes my mind off my sore throat and cold that I'm getting.

maine jen-Hope you feel better soon!

hi Disneyholic!

Meg-I figured you would get carded often. You look so young and innocent. HA! We on this thread know the TRUTH! LOL!

Gosh, I thiink I would get sick if I drank that mixture of drinks. That last martini you had looked yummy! What time did you start your drinkathon, and what time did it end? Did you eat anything afterwards?

 

[1MegMeg]

Jen - Unfortunately, yes the Space Monkey is fairly banana-y and chunky. I had a taste and could definitely taste the banana. I didn't have any chunk issues in my taste, but a couple of times DH commented on a chunk getting stuck in his straw.

WLL - Our drinkathon was around 4 hours long, which is probably why I didn't get sick. lol! We spent a wile at TL and when we got on the boat to go back to WL it was going to Ft. Wilderness first, so we had extra time there; then at the Poly we walked around outside for a while and once we saw the sign for the walkway to GF we decided just to hoof it over rather than get back on the monorail. Extra time allows for the alcohol to adequately digest. Hehe! Also, we (purposely) ate a late lunch at England in Epcot so we weren't super hungry for dinner. We had appetizers at TL and OR and that was more than enough for us to eat. By the time we got to CR and rode the boat to WL it was around 7pm and we were back in our room a little after 11pm. Innocent? Ha!! Yes, you all definitely know the truth!

Meg, thanks for the pix! Your DH and you make such a cute couple! I used to get carded well into my 30's... It sounds like you had a lot of fun. I can't wait until my vacation in 2 weeks!

Jen, I hope you feel better soon!

I spoke to DH about going to the Monorail Drink-a-thon and he said YES! WOO HOO!!!

Jennifer - I am feeling a little under the weather myself, I just look at it as at least it is now and not when we are at WDW!

Meg - Great pictures, you guys are so cute.

Cristy - Glad you guys will be there!

Too funny!!!

hey, that's almost as good as the beer song...

 

[ctrabada]

Thank you Bill! I loved the prayer....

 

[wildernesslodgelover]

Great prayer, Bill!

You know, I always chuckle at the pic of you and your wife, becase it reminds me of the famous work of art "American Gothic" but with a lush spin on it. Beer instead of a pitchfork. You both have that kind of look on your face! heehee!

 

[Bill From PA]

Hey, wildernesslodgelover, I think we're having more fun than the couple in that painting!

Hello, my fellow lushes...

My DH asked me tonight about what we were going to do this Xmas and I replied that I had not planned anything yet (other than going to visit my parents in Orlando, but no Disney)... so he says "why don't we go to WDW?" Well, you know I ran to the computer to find out what codes were available and called reservations and booked 5 nights (12/25-12/30) at WL courtyard view!!!! I can't believe it.... I'm in a daze....

 

[wildernesslodgelover]

OMG, Cristy! Now you are just being cruel! You are going to be at the beautiful lodge for CHRISTMAS! I am soooooo envious! Did you get a good rate? Are all your points used up? Your DH sounds like he is into WDW just as much as we are! You are soooo lucky!

I can't believe it myself.... My DH is into WDW as much as I am... I'm a lucky girl... I got a FL resident rate of $195/night for courtyard view. All our points are used up and I didn't want to borrow, so we decided to pay. We stayed there last Christmas and loved it so decided to stay there again this year.

I, also, am very envious!! I LOVE Disney World at Christmastime. It truly is my favorite time of the year there. Our goal had been to get our credit cards to this year, prior to Christmas, and celebrate with a trip to the World at Christmastime (thus removing our zero balances! ) Alas, we are not quite there - in fact still a bit off. Our trip to F & W didn't help! I will dream about Christmas at Disney next year...

ctrabada - Have just an amazing time!

 

[1MegMeg]

Cristy! OMG, I am so excited for you! I haven't been to WDW over the holidays in a looonnnggg time! I bet WL is just gorgeous! Have an awesome awesome time!!

 

[maine_jennifer]

Cristy!!! I've been miserable all morning with a cold, then I had a cup of tea to help with congestion and it took away my voice!!! But thanks to your news, I'm excited about WDW again! My WHOLE family wants to do a Christmas vacation in 2006 and the cheapest we've come up with so far is WDW!!!

LOTW Meet in Two weeks, 6 hours, 5 minutes!!
