Am I the only one?
Hmm, I like that, for some reason, may need to make that a regular feature.
Am I the only one that noticed this?
I was clicking through the channels the other night, and stopped clicking on Goblet of Fire.
There is a scene in Harry Potter, 4, The Goblet of Fire, where Hagrid tells Ron, Harry and Hermoine, "When I met you guys 4 years ago you were a bunch of misfits", or something very close to it.
Anybody else see the problem here?
Hey Haggerz, work with me here:
This semester, or Tri-Wizard Tournament, is year 4.
One year ago everybody was looking for Serious Black cuz he was so much fun in Azkaban.
Two years ago, Harry was playing with snakes in the Chamber of a really stupid Ginny,
And 3 years ago you met the 3 of them when Harry was kicking the Sorcerors in the Stones.
So Hagrid, you have only known them for 3 years, not 4.
Hmm, wonder if that line is written in the book, I doubt JK screwed up though, but how did no body else catch it?
Excited to hear another report form nebo and smidgy...there's never a dull moment!! Congrats on quitting smoking to the both of you, that's quite an accomplishment, I bet the DSA's are going to miss you guys and your fuzzy cups. Can't wait to hear how the stay goes at BLT, we're staying there in march.
Welcome Mary, Betty, Lou and Cindy, we'll let hyou know how we like it.
This looks just downright NASTY!!! I'm waiting for it to come alive...
I am not kidding, even though that wasn't exactly my fish, mine looked identical to it, leg sticking up and all. Nebo ate a lot of bread that night. Even Jauques Cousteau got up and left.
I've also heard from many that Tony's is just "meh".
We discovered Columbia Harbour House on our last trip, it was fantastical! We will be returning there again next trip. Now if only we could discover something great in DHS.
Hey Kyle and Shawn, we know, haven't heard much good about Tony's, but we can cross it off the list then.
Our list is identical... Well at least in the sense of where we've eaten and where we haven't. We did do a princess brekkie at Akershus, though.
The only way a burger should be. If it's not dripping all over the place, it ain't made right.
That's pretty much how they are at PH, nothing like the burgers in the food courts and parks, once you pick it uup, there's a good chance that if you put it down it's not gonna be picked up in one piece again. There's something I do in Disney that I almost never do at home: instead of ketchup being used on my burgers, I go for bbq sauce instead, even put it on the hotdogs from the food court, not sure why I only do this down there.
Sacrilege! Okay... wait a sec. Do you mean Dole Whip or Dole Whip
floats? Biiiiig difference.
um, I think it was the floats, and as Smidgy alluded to a bit further down, after we were underwhelmed by it at first, it was then greatly improved by the addition of Myers Rum.
Well I should hope so! Can't have a Nebo/Smidgy WDW tour without 'em!
You would think they would have cut the umbilical cord off that thing before they fried it. That's just gross.
How can they think that's appetizing?
Is it a Brittish thing? That's how they like it? I'm not one to talk though, I never saw the appeal of going to a pig roast and the things going around in a circle with it's head still on and then somebody has to stick an apple in it's mouth.
Oh, and BTW I did a thread a few years ago (
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1431111) where I asked folks what was the
worst restaurant in WDW. Pretty much
every restaurant was mentioned, but the overwhelming winner (loser?) was Tony's. Just sayin'. Try it, but be prepared. Lots of people like it too, though, maybe you will too.
Ok, I gotta play,,,, hmmm,,, I'd say teh worst places we've eaten at, food wise, is Shutters at CBR, and Sci Fi at the Studios. I wasn't a fan of Captain Jack's, either, or a favorite of Smidgy's, Narcolepsy's.
We've eaten at Tony's twice, we had one fantastic meal and one not so much! I love Columbia Harbor House. Sit upstairs where the windows look out over the walkway! Good place to people watch!
Yep, like the fish basket there, and sitting upstairs.
Tony's used to have a great Monte Cristo sandwich, but that was 30 years ago or so, LOL? Not sure if they still have that
I doubt I can COUNT on the MONTE CRISTO sandwich.
(there, think I made sure on one missed that one?)
Have you been to Earl of Sandwich? Great sandwiches and cheap
Yep, we like it there.
I like the flat bread pizza at the Contemp Cafe, and they have a good chicken sandwich
For going offsite for a great pizza, try Flippers at Crossroads, just to the right of Goodings. The have flips and sandwiches too.
Ok, what the heck is flips, or flippers?
Doesn't sound good to me, my fish from R and C had a flipper too.
Lots of of castmembers go there for lunch. A large personal pizza with 2 toppings for lunch is about $6.25 including unlimited soda. A lot of people take about half back for leftovers
I've always thoght we'd try the Uno's at the Crossroads, but once I'm on property I never want to leave it.
Riverside food court rocks with the create your own pasta bar (with chicken or shrimp) fettucini, spaghetti or penne with either marina, aflredo or pesto sauce and all sorts of add-ins. Lasts me for 2 meals. In fact, I blame my weight gain on that and will have some for dinner right now.
Riverside and FQ have the best food courts on property, fish baskets, chicken parmisagna, jambalaya, and the pasta thingy you mentioned.
I'm with Smidgy on the BMT from Subway. Make mine hot (as in heated) with hot peppers
I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion on Biergarten, Tony's, and Sanaa. We haven't been to any of them yet. I am fairly discriminatory, heck, let's just call a spade a spade and say PICKY, about my food. Sanaa just scares me, but nothing could be any worse than that thing they served you at Rose and Crown. I am planning to try R&C in January, but I will NOT be ordering fish!
Biergarten is excellent, we've done it before, lots and lots of choices that you'll want to try "just a little", and your plate will be overflowing. It's just the dark in there I'm not crazty about. A lot of places are that way now though, Iwas accidentally abandoned once in Le Celleir and wasn't found again until the next morning when they opened it up.
Any readers of this TR who haven't read the old ones need to do yourselves a favor and read them! They are really funny. The original account with the thing on the platter had me crying with laughter.
thanks Buzz, I had more fun than you writing that chapter that night, and every time I hear or think of that song, I think of that fish again too.
It really sounds like you and Smidgy have some good dining adventures ahead. I'm with you on the och-ur-shuss(Akershus). I look at the menu and think, no way, not me.
And for good measure, if you do eat shrimp anywhere, make sure you remove the tails BEFORE you eat them, lest you have a repeat of the Ohana nightmare.
I never, never, never, never........
nebo must have forgotten.. we are bringing the ever-popular string cheese, as well as a hunk(chunk?) of cheddar cheese... you don't want to see our liquor list!
Oh yeah, I forgot all about the cheeses.
you know what I really liked at POP? the shrimp Lo Mein.
Sure, and those shrimp you didn't have to peel, did you?
well, any of you on the east coast.. hunker down and be safe!
oh yeah.. we have enver actually had a dole whip.... we had dole whip floats .. with a little.. um.. help
I think I'm just not that big a pineapple fan.
Of course you say Mayo. otherwise it would be Miracle whip.(blek)
I'm with you Kim, can't stand Miracle Whip either.
If you say mayonaise, i go all "officer and a gentleman" in my head. Not good.
I can hear it myself,,,, "All right, drop and give me 40 May-O-NAZE.
Sounds like the begining of a good list. Let's see how many you cling to.
KIM
Good luck to the Eastcoasters.....
Hi, joining in on the fun.
Hi, Cin, glad to have you join us. Great screen name, it's SHORT!
Looks like they caught and breaded Randall from Monsters Inc...
I echo Ponzi 
YAY !!! Another Nebo and Smidgy TR !! Fuzzy cups, vikes, witty commentary ...... I can't wait to read.
Another person I don't recognize, hi, welcome aboard. (can anyone sell jecskc a vowel?)
Wow .... nine pages of chatter and you haven't even left home yet. Joining in. Loved all of the other reports. We will be there Sept 24-Oct 2 so we will just miss you. Super excited about our trip and hearing about yours. Please take TONS of photos of the resorts since those are the ones I can never get DVC Reservations for. Hope things work out with your eye. I would completely freak if a doctor came at my eye with a needle. There would need to be heady sedation for that to be possible for me.
PS - I always thought you should have a T-shirt that reads "Got Vikes?" LOL
Yeah, we're excited too, finally, we are staying at a monorail resort!
The "got vikes" would work great up in Minnesota with a purple shirt.
I have a humorous antidote coming up, about my trip to the liquer store this morning buying all we'll maybe need for the trip.
TOTALLY AGREE! Once we ate up here and had the entire second floor to ourselves, it was awesome (downstairs was packed).
. I ate some of my lasagna, had his fettucini alfredo boxed up and that was that. then that restaurant went bye bye, and we have not tried the new one either. nor via napoli. so..... we'll see if this one stays on the agenda........(watch, I'll probably hate it..)
glad to see a pretrippy. just found it. Going to be rereading your other trip reports next weekend. (next best thing to being there right?) Having some major dental work done and will be down for a few days (that is code for having all the teeth pulled and getting new ones
