Nikki's trip report~Finally Complete! Come read. Pg 25

[Simba22]

Those pics from the BW are great! I can't wait until I can afford DVC! Although honestly, I'd be happy to be able to afford a Deluxe at this point!

Although to be COMPLETELY honest....I'm perfectly happy that I can afford to go to WDW at all so I'll stop whining now!

I'm caught up again, Nikki (lots of studying and paper-writing has kept me away from the forum for a couple of weeks).

It was time for lunch so we went to the closest spot. Flame Tree BBQ.

Oh my goodness, it was sooo yummy!

We ate there too, and it was yummy!

If I remember right the reasone Matt and I aren't on this car is because while in line Matt kept telling me I was going to be really mad at him. I didn't understand why, but he wasn't going to tell me. We get to the front of the line, the CM sends Robby to his line and Matt says "We want to ride in the front." So guess where I rode!! The biggest reason I wasn't very happy about this was because I didn't want Robby to have to ride alone. Oh and that we were UP FRONT!!

Matt tricked you into riding up front? I bet you wanted to strangle him.

wow yo uhave some really good pictures from your morning in AK, and congrats on checking in to your new home.

Thanks!! Boy I wish it was my new home. I really think I could handle living there.

and way to go on getting the first parking spot.

Right place, right time !!

BW looks gorgeous, I really should try a new place if I ever get back there.

You should. I want to try them all. This is my new goal in life.

I love Flame Tree Barbque, and I can't wait to hear what you thought of Planet Hollywood.

Planet Hollywood coming up soon!!

We could have never done it without renting them. It's VERY expensive to go through Disney.

Although to be COMPLETELY honest....I'm perfectly happy that I can afford to go to WDW at all so I'll stop whining now!

I know how you feel, I'd sleep in my car if I had to.

Matt tricked you into riding up front? I bet you wanted to strangle him.

He's like that, that kid!! This is what you have to look forward to. Good luck buddy!! It's never a dull moment.

I love the Plate-O-Ribs. Gud with Bud.

 

[ILMICKEY]

Man I wish I had one of them right now!!

I swear, I don't know if it's the weather or what but everyone is seriously *****y. From operators, to management, to customers. What the heck is going on??

Anybody else having this problem???????

 

[ILMICKEY]

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

 

[ILMICKEY]

When I left last, we were off to our Planet Hollywood ADR's. We were all pretty excited about this, we'd never been. We drove to West Side, I'm just not willing to part with the luxury of leaving when I want to and sitting in a seat.

There was no line at check in and we were immediatle guided over to get our picture taken. Ooooooh Kaaaaay!

I was kind of bummed we didnt get a seat any higher than the ground, but it was alright. This place is pretty cool! Perfect for the teenage boys. I loved all the movie memorabilia. We were going around naming the movies the things were from.

We had a very nice meal. Robby, Jay and I ordered the NY Strips and Matt had the Philly Cheese steak. He regretted this when he saw our steaks. They were soooo yummy!! Oh and if you go there order the chicken crunch for an appy. They use Captain Crunch for the batter!! These were wonderful. Dinner went along very nicely. They kept announcing the D.J. would be starting in a little while.

Never did!

We ordered desert. Matt and I got the Bread Pudding and Robby and Jay got some sort of Sundae.

I kid you not, we waited for over an hour for it!! Then they told us they were out of vanilla ice cream. HOW ON EARTH CAN SOMEONE BE OUT OF VANILLA ICE CREAM??

Since we had plenty of time for our food to digest, we were definitely ready for our treats.

Matt and I dug right into our bread pudding and OMG!! It tasted like pure booze!! The sauce they put on the top was KILLER!

I'm goin
Matt's goin

I let him eat it. I was a little worried, but I'm pretty sure they couldn't serve it to him if they hadn't cooked off the liqour.

We finished up and signed for the bill. I am LOVIN this!! I know we did actually pay for it, but it was soooo easy and I am all about easy.

Oh, we didn't buy the picture they were trying to sell us. It was a little pricey and I didn't think we really needed it.

Yes, tightwad!!

We decided we would walk around the West Side. It was still pretty early.

We all went to Virgin and I spent a fortune. I don't know what it was, I mean I could buy the same things at Walmart and pay much less, but I didn't. I got it at Virgin. We were in there for a good hour.

We walked through all the lights.

Saw this guy,

and left.

We got back to BW and put a load of laundry in and headed for the Hot Tub! I was aching a little and needed cured!! We go out and it is DEAD! I mean there is absolutely no one at the pool. We were kind of stunned. We checked out the sign and it said "pool closes at 8:00".

Are you KIDDING ME???

Another family comes out and looks around too. They decide to get in. O.k. I'm all about peer pressure. So we get in the Jacuzzi. Jay won't get in. He's not about to break the rules and get in trouble. Chicken!!

There were no bubbles, but man that water felt good. This guy comes by and asks us why the jets weren't on. We told him we were a little afraid of getting into trouble. He says "you are at Disney World, you can do anything you want" and proceded to give us BUBBLES!!!

Oh lordy it felt so wonderful. The boys and I are just sitting there when we spot a CM coming our way. We're like Oh Crap, were busted. Nope he had this pincher looking thingy in his hand.

He says "you havent seen anything slithery come by here have you?"

Ummmm No. What kind of slithery thing are we talking about?

He says "you don't want to know"

Yeah, nice!! Maybe this is why there is no swimming after 8:00? All the slithery things come out to play??

It was time to go in. So I got out and ran, (kidding). No, I did walk quickly. Very quickly. I'm not about to get attacked by an unknown slithery thingy.

We finished the laundry and were in bed by 12:00.

What a very nice day. This no commando thing was working out Wonderful.

Tomorrow~Epcot!

I think when the sign says the pool area is closed after 8 that just means there is no life guard on duty so it is swim at your own risk.

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

Mmmm... bread pudding with booze. I'd be all over that like a buzzard on a gut wagon.

I remember using the BW Hot Tub at midnight before. Nobody said anything to us either. However, I think we were able to get the bubbles going if memory serves.

Gotta love the DVC rooms and their Washer & Dryers.

I figured thats what it was about. Since we had never stayed there before we were just a bit unsure. Nothing like gettin kicked out of Disney!! Well, not Jay, he wasn't being naughty like me.

You'll have to stop by there on your next visit. Tell em Nikki sent you!!!

It was kind of cool though, Matt really didn't like it so we can cross that off the teenage drinking list!!

By turning a knob or you discarding your air from your earlier dinner????

tGotta love the DVC rooms and their Washer & Dryers.

We were in a Studio so they weren't right in our room, but only a couple doors down from us. We were in a VERY good location. I am seriously jonezing for it right now.

I'M SICK OF BEING COLD!!!

 

[ILMICKEY]

Anyone know of a place to taste test Sam Adams?? Seems like I read something somewhere about it. I like beer, but have never had SA.

 

[Simba22]

I wonder why it took them so long at PH to discover that they had no vanilla ice cream? I wonder why they didn't have any vanilla ice cream to begin with....?? I'm glad you enjoyed your dinners though! We love PH - did you get a BananaRama??? OMG sooooo good!!! I can't wait for my next one....on FRIDAY!!!!!

 

[disneyaddicted]

I loved Planet Hollywood and would go again, but nobody took our picture and then tried to sell it to us, I was robbed of an experience!!!!

Slithery things? Disney has those?

I don't know why either. It was the start of a long week for Deserts and the dining plan.

I didn't get a BananaRama, but I'm going back!!! Can you ship me one??? You are so lucky. I'm sure you will have a wonderful time. Don't forget to write!!!!!!

You were totally robbed. Well you would have been if you had bought the picture. Maybe with us telling them no, we put them out of business.

I hope we get to go higher up next time.

Apparently Disney has a bunch of slithery things. I wish he would have enlightened us to which slithery thing it was!!

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Slithery things YUCK NOt MY FAV! When we went in 2001 we had an armadillo run between our legs while watching a movie at the outside movie theater in Fort wilderness. All you heard where screams as the poor thing ran through everyone!
My Trip report is back up and running... Please VISIT NO IS READING IT!!!!!!!!

 

[blue_river]

I've always wondered about Planet Hollywood. Would you recommend it? Do you think my girls would like it?

OMGosh on the unknown slithery thing

Must have been a snake



Sounds like the hot tub was the perfect ending to your day

Oh absolutely!! They would LOVE it! Just be careful with the Bread Pudding!! The food was Wonderful. You HAVE to make on of your ressies there!!!

OMGosh on the unknown slithery thing

Must have been a snake

I sure the heck hope so. I could deal with a snake much better than an alligator. But I guess they really don't slither do they???

Sounds like the hot tub was the perfect ending to your day

It was out of this world. That guy that came by and turned the jets on was great. It's funny cause Jay still wouldn't come over and get in with us. He stayed over in the little smoking area talking to his mom.
