Pods-n-El & The Love Bug(S)- September 24-29th,2010 at AKV Concierge! Updates 11/30

They are my favorite of everything we had. I really like the horseradish sauce that comes with them. Yummmm.... we also tried a Blue Claw Crab cake, which was tasty, too-

DD and I stopped in there last summer to grab a bite to eat because we missed dinner and by the time we left the park there wouldn't be much available. That crab cake was awesome, especially with a nice cold beer! I definitely will stop back for one of those (both of them!) in May!
 
Ellen - you are so right - I would take that exact picture!

But my favorite picture of all (besides the mojitos with just the right amount of ice) is your first test track picture! That is one cool pic! Love it!

I can't believe you got to draw Eeyore - he is my absolute favorite and everyone's drawing turned out great.

So sorry to see Lonnie go, but you guys had so much fun together. What a great couple of days!!!!!
 
Sorry dear! I found the envelope with your navigators but no magnets. :(

Can't believe you're leaving so soon...AGAIN!

FINALLY.....all caught up.:cheer2:
You've been packing for two days?!?!?.....I haven't even started yet...uhoh!! Looks like some sleepless nights ahead for me! But getting ready for the WORLD is all I have left to do now!!! See ya in the Ditch on Friday! Can't wait! :drinking1
 
Love the lady in heels. :rotfl2: What the hell is she thinking?

It's sad when our friends leave but you know you'll see them again for another great vacation! :goodvibes

:rotfl2: my thoughts exactly. guess that is one mistake you only make once!


pods-n-el, i have thoroughly enjoyed your TR. thanks so much for sharing your adventures! have fun on your next one!
 
those are nothing.....we saw the highest heels in my life getting off of POTC. I couldn't get my camera out without being obvious. She was in FULL goth. Black outfit, with large crinolin skirt, pale white face and thigh high red leather lace up boots. I swear the heals were a good 7 inches. Tim was kicking me to get a pic but it would have been awkward. I so wish I would have though
 
FYI love bugs will eat the paint off a car. Seriously. People in Florida wash there cars like every day during love bug season cause if you leave them on there the paint will all chip off. Nasty little critters..... Doin the nasty and dying in the process.......
 
:flower3: What I am realizing by reading your report is that we have missed out on every cool watering hole at WDW. How, I am unsure, but I really didn't even think about it. My guess is that because Disneyland doesn't have the many options that WDW does.

I would LOVE a list, whenever you have time, of the bars, in WDW.

:worship: <----- Me, begging. :rotfl:

Well, I'm not gonna get to it before I leave TOMORROW, :yay: but that would be a good list to have- there are so many obvious ones, but then all the restaurants (well, most restaurants- not V&A's, Flying Fish, Brown Derby...)have a bar, too. Plus all the little stands everywhere with specialty drinks (like grey goose slushies in France) ....

i laughed the day we spent at Epcot we got front row parking (guess that is one benefit of getting to the park at 7:30 am:scared1: )...when we came out the CMs had cleaned our car of all of the love bugs. I have a great note that they left on the car.

I am working on getting the TR done. check out the link below

WOW! The front row is the place to BE!! That is awesome that they cleaned off the bugs! I am really looking forward to reading your TR and seeing all your pics- loved all the PIX you sent!:goodvibes

Love the picture of all of you with the Incredibles!

I love doing the drawing too. I have Donald and Winnie the Pooh that I was pretty happy with.

Soarin is my absolute favorite. I always call that guy Putty. My son refers to him as Soarin guy. Although lately he is Jeff Bingham (Rules of Engagement)

It is really amazing to me that we all had varying amounts of talent, yet all our drawings at least resembled Eeyore. Hope we get another good one to draw on Friday. :thumbsup2

And yes, I know he's on ROE, but he'll always be Putty to me, too!

Love that CM at the Tune In Lounge. She is such a character. She has been there the last several times we have gone in there for, like you did, drinks and snacks. She can really get in to character too! Such a good time.

She was really fun and she also made a great Mojito. She was leaving for her 1st trip to DL a few days after we met her- she was really excited. A great CM.:cutie:

What I liked about the TIL so much was that you could still get the 50's PTC experience without having to wait 3 hours for your table. It was a lot of fun, we will definitely go back.

I like that pic, too- it feels like you're on the ride, doesn't it? I only brought my P&S Olympus with me that day- always happy with it (well, almost always happy with it!). Thanks on the drawings- really can't get over how fun that was- and how PROUD I was of myself! Like I was 5 and bringing it home to Mom for the refrigerator proud! :rotfl: But it was more like I was 47 bringing it home to my unbelieving sons. :rotfl:

Evening Ellen !!!! Great updates !!!Kona is definately on my radar for my next solo trip!!

Excellent! :thumbsup2

Packing for a Disney Cruise is a MAJOR commitment- pants in the dining rooms for the boys, costumes, pirate gear, FE gifts all labeled and ready, tuxedos....oh yeah, and then a dress or SOMETHING for me. :rotfl: Soooooo worth it, though- I can't believe it's finally here- 2 years of waiting lasts forever!!

Thanks for sewing my hem last night- I'll see you in the DITCH on Friday!! :banana:

Yes, that is so true- thanks!

You're welcome- I LOVE sharing my adventures- that way I get to live them TWICE! I promise to have some more shenanigans on this next trip for your reading enjoyment, too! :thumbsup2

You GOTTA take the picture!! We ALL need a good laugh!! She sounds like she was very entertaining!

Well, then, that makes it even better that those CMs washed Laura's car- I thought they were just gross- I didn't realize they were damaging, too.

So that's pretty much it then? They %3@! themselves to death? :eek: Wild, wild, wacky stuff.

Nice new ticker, BTW- did you get the points?
 
Have a really great trip! I know its going to be a blast!
 
Well, I'm not gonna get to it before I leave TOMORROW, :yay: but that would be a good list to have- there are so many obvious ones, but then all the restaurants (well, most restaurants- not V&A's, Flying Fish, Brown Derby...)have a bar, too.

Anytime within the next year :rotfl: would be great! I have 412 days until our trip. :blush:

Have a magical time on your cruise. I cannot wait to read all about it! :goodvibes

I think my absolute favorite is the Belle Vue Lounge at the Board Walk. It is truly a hidden gem. Such a wonderful place to stop and relax after a long day.

What I liked about the TIL so much was that you could still get the 50's PTC experience without having to wait 3 hours for your table. It was a lot of fun, we will definitely go back.

I have enjoyed this spot in the past however, at times I have seen some out of control rug rats in the vicinity. I just wish the actual bar was a little more removed from the area that serves as a waiting room.

On a side note it sounds like you have been super busy getting ready for the cruise. I will be thinking of you throughout the next week and wishing I was a stow away in your suit case.

Just out of curiousity for our next cruise which isn't even on the horizon yet. Are you renting a car from MCO and returning it at the port?
 
Omg I am LOVING the pic of you all witht he incredibles! TOO CUTE!

AND I knew I liked Pods, and now Mikey too.. they are both lefties.. me too lol were the only people in our right minds LOL.

aww poor Lonnie she needs to ride Soaring its the best ride yall need to do it on the next moms trip! its always our 1st and last at Cali Adventure here in SoCal!

and In case I dont say it before you leave...

HAVE A GREAT CRUISE, CANT WAIT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT IT!... BTW Grab Jen (aka Nennier) for Magic Quest shes never seen it and its so much more fun to go with a buddy aka pre made team LOL cant wait to see THOSE pics LOL (dont forget your "water" and breakfast of champs kalua and think of me slaving away at work LMAO)
 
That is something I am going to have to include in my below listed TR;).

I agree with the above poster - what the hey was that lady in heals thinking??:confused:.



I think the sub title of the blip (in my tr) will be just that:

"WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?"



On a different note - looking forward to the Ditch and my very first Dole Whip:goodvibes


But alas.........NO MONKEY KISSIN ON MY TRIP :upsidedow.




T.T.F.N.
 
Have a great time on your cruise Ellen. Can't wait to hear all about it!!!!!

And HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!

Uh, yeah, that's basically it - except that the males live about 10 minutes and the females live about an hour. That's the story I'm gonna use when Ally gets older and I'm pushing abstinance..... "sex can kill you after only 10 minutes!" :rotfl2:

Still working on the points. I'm stressing over getting BWV at the 11 mo mark.....
