Poncho Up, Chicas! DISmoms 5, May 2-6, 2013 Updates Galore 12/9

Love the update, but I must admit it made me a bit nauseous.:rotfl2: My boss had a holiday party last night, and I'm having too many flashbacks of everything! :drinking1 Lots of martinis, some Sambuca, sake, moonshine cherries, apple pie, and Ellen - you can appreciate this - I got to try Opus One. It's not my thing, but it was interesting. There may have been more, but that's all I can recall for now! I love the Mickey ear sombreros and the necklaces and pins! You were definitely prepared for this day! I love when you get somewhere and the folks around you are great fun too. That makes a good day even better! HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!

I have a jar of moonshine cherries in my fridge now, they are a great addition to drinks!

omg we are so twins separated from birth! I just finished my jar .. last night. Which is probably why Im feeling like crud this am.. along with missed all my online sales LMAO eh oh well.

Since I need to now refill my mason jars with something Im making apple pie moonshine this weekend to put in my apple cider since its finally getting cold here in Cali.


OK now that the DIS is finally cooperating with me and it seems photobucket is also (sparingly, time to get a new photo sharing site!)... I'll try and give my 5cent tour, and tell you all about my ride companion. OY VE!

So back to the jungle I went with these lovely ladies


Our tour guide was cute, I want to say she stated she worked the Jungle cruise before.. but I could be mistaken... either way she had some comedic points like those guides!


Seems like a few animals were giving us their best sides today


This is one of the few animals I like... well actuall the only animal I like. Ya we don't have pets here... I hate animals. Which E (hubby) always finds it funny that I want to go to the zoo, or wild animal park. LOL


So if you google earth this area... its a hidden mickey. Never knew that


Once we were done with the tour and then breakfast (which btw... I was the only one brave enough to sneak in the mini bottle of Kahlua. Made my coffee muy bueno!)

On our way out to catch a bus we saw more awesome outfits. What Im wondering is when she's out in the sun for long, does it give her a weird farmers tan with those tights? (because one should always were nylons in FLORIDA, in MAY lol)


Once we arrived in Hollywood, we wanted to ride TOT since we hadn't together yet. But AGAIN they were big fat liars and the wait was NOT the noted 20mins. And here I was FOWDY inches and able to ride! LOL. See this lil boy in front had to get measured and he was from one of the Southern States and had the cuties lil southern drawl. they told him he had to be FOURTY inches and when he made the cute off. He yelled "Look momma, Im FOWDY INCHES!" Which then became the running joke of the day.
In line for the Teacups cuz "Im FOWDY INCHES"
Riding Space Mountina cuz "Im FOWDY INCHES"
Belling up to the bar cuz "Im FOWDY INCHES"


After the TOT fiasco, we decided to do single rider on Rocken Roller Coaster... after singing "All the single riders" we were close to the front waiting our turn where Laura got in the car ahead of El and I. El got a close to the front seat... and I got sat right in front of a 3 generation family. Mom, grandma and the 2 lil kids. Of which the whole time we are waiting for the car the lil girl is screaming bloody murder. She doesn't want to get on, girl aint having none of that.... its non stop and Drea doesn't have a beer to go to her happy place. Even the CM's were telling them they could ride swap. BUT grandma was not going for that.. NOPE she told the lil girl (in an accent Im guessing was Indian or Hindu or like that (sorry I don't mean to offend anyone just guessing..?) Anyhow, Grandma yelled at the girl and said something to the effect of "I GO, YOU GO WE ALL GO!" She really had that 3muskateers thing going for her. Then she said something in her language which made the lil girl be quiet just until we got ON the ride... to which the screams came again.

Hence why I look like THIS


And not like THIS


What a difference half a car away can make!

So by then I was ready to head back to the room to get ready for some adult fun... and a Consierge level that has more beer.. lil girls screams still haunt me LMAO

We saw my friends Elfis & Barb all ready to hit the Ditch (looks like Elfis already had put a few back since his hat was on backwards and Barb was just a lush by this time)


Im so sad our 4th wasn't feeling good and missed this photo op


We made our way over to Mexico.. Look Im in the Motherland (actually Im not from there so more like E's motherland LOL)


I stopped off and grabbed 2 Florida beers (I believe they were called Devil's Triangle... I only remember cuz I thought how perfect is that 3 of us, yet were total ANGELS!) They were for all of us to share, you know "SAMPLE" of which I had to double fist to walk back to Mexico and start chugging cuz they were spilling... and everyone knows spilling beer is like spilling liquid gold! In between sips Im having to answer where I got my awesome hat.

After about 5 times answering a friend made them I just switched to "From Minnasoder" and those looks were AWESOME. (remember Im 2 fisting at this time drinking from both cups HA. Hide yo kids, Hide yo wife!)


While I was getting beer, El Lonnie had met up with Jill and were rehydrating in the ditch where they ordered me a jalapeno rita (YUM I miss that drink)


Eventually Laura found her way and the party began all over again! WOOHOO!
SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS EVERYBODY! Well minus 2 that weren't having any of that!
Click here to see which of the 2 were smarty pants!

We had to cut Barb & Elfis off


After we were done with the Ditch we made our way around the world and El Sicko thought it would be a great time for another shot. (I do say alcohol is the best medicine!)


Then someone else said it was Slushy time... ok


Then I spilled.. and again that just wasteful


About that time I was told to chug we had to head to dinner, and that meant saying good by to Jill. It was such a pleasure to meet you, and if your ever in Cali look me up. Would love to get a drink with you! :)
 
Ellen sounds like you Gals had a Blast !! I LOVE those Hats !!!Grat pix of the Flower Fest !!I gotta get back in April/May again !!!
 

The Dis-Moms are sooooo much fun! I was so sad that I couldn't join them for dinner...stupid cancellation fee! I hope I can meet up with them again some of these days.

And Drea, I will be looking you up as soon as I can swing a trip to Cali!

Since I need to now refill my mason jars with something Im making apple pie moonshine this weekend to put in my apple cider since its finally getting cold here in Cali.

We enjoyed apple cider margaritas before Thanksgiving dinner here on Long Island.....definitely helped me forget how cold it is outside! 5 ounces apple cider, one ounce gold tequila, one ounce Grand Marnier. Rimmed the margarita glasses with fresh o.j. and cinnamon sugar.

Heck, I would have sucked up the cancelation fee in order of fun! I hope you'll be booking something with me! Maybe you and Olga can stay in your suite depending on your timing!
 
I think I am sick just seeing all you drank that day. :rotfl: I can't handle drinking at all anymore.

Gotta love the screaming kid. Why do people make their kids do this when they are screaming.
 
We were all sad to say goodbye to Jill, hope our paths cross again one day! But it was time to eat something- CLEARLY. So up to the newly reimagined Monsieur Paul's we went.



So adorable!



I love a little jacket for a napkin! Thankfully, the amazing bread arrived quickly and with a smile-



Each type was more delicious than the next- and don't even get me started on the butter!









The champagne for each of us arrived quickly, too.

Laura tried to scare us away, but we weren't leaving-



I ordered a delicious bottle of wine to have with dinner-





Now the food! Someone ordered Saumon mi-cuit marine, salade de concombre - lightly cooked marinated salmon, blinis, cucumber salad



I am a Truffle nut, so I had to try Soupe aux truffes V.G.E. - Beef broth, oxtail, vegetables, black winter truffle, puff pastry



I know these are the worst food porn pics ever, I had the flash off and it was not a good idea with my little P&S camera, sorry! I have no idea what drea ate, (was it some kind of watercress soup?) but it looked like this-



Lonnie had Homard forestier, oeuf de cailles mollet, bouillon creme aux truffes noires - Maine lobster with sauteed mushrooms, mollet quail egg, creamy black truffle bouillon (Also available as a main course)



I enjoyed my soup, but I would try something else next time. Lonnie's was delicious, I think I might order that! For main courses, Drea had- well, i'm not sure, but she doesn't look very happy about it, LOL!



Both Lonnie and i had Cote de Bceuf pour deux, haricot vert, pomme fondante , sauce au poivre - Roasted bone-in rib eye for two, green bean and fondantes potatoes, black pepper sauce (we were doing the tasting menu)



Sauce, sil vous plait?



Laura was having Filet de boeuf grille forestier, puree de pomme de terre, sauce Bordelaise - Grilled beef tenderloin with mushroom crust, mashed potatoes, Bordelaise sauce- which I don't have a photo of other than the one going by Drea above.


Lonnie and I had dessert included with our Prix Fixe menu, so shared La barre au chocolat - gateau chocolat, croustillant praline, ganache fruit de la passion, mousse et creme glacee au chocolat - flourless chocolate cake, praline crunch, chocolate passion fruit ganache, chocolate mousse and ice cream



And (I think) La baba au rhum: baba imbibe avec un sirop au rhum de la Martinique et ananas, compote et sorbet au fruits exotiques - Baba soaked in pineapple and Martinican rum syrup, exotic sorbet and compote



Because clearly if there was any way to have even MORE booze, we would find it! Look who was awake and celebrating again!



The keeper of the Elfis-



And her co-conspirator-



What a great restaurant- I was worried it would not feel as special as it did before the renovations, but clearly, it does. I am sure I will be back....





Up next- 4 parks in one day- can we do it?????



 
We definitely need to do it again!

Jill in CO

YES WE DO!!!!

my sides hurt from recalling all the laughter. that table next to us was a riot. I will say the line out side of the ditch was crazy. I had to push my way in.

That was a crazy, funny day- I thought the Ditch was waaaaay more crowded the year before than it was this year, but you came in later than us, so maybe it had picked up by then.

What a perfect day! Cinco de Mayo, Dis Moms, cool hats, flashing margarita pins, chili necklaces, The Ditch & best of all alcohol! Y'all know how to have fun, great goin' girls!!

Love those slushies, did any of you try the Cosmo slushies?

I have had them during F&W- do they have them the rest of the year? I want to say, though, that that one during F&W is my least favorite of the slushies- it is too syrupy for me.

Yay, I never see pics of Jill! :thumbsup2 Looks like a super fun day.

She was awesome- we really surprised her- I guess we are a little over the top for the usual DISmeet, lol! :rotfl2:

Ellen, I am going on a girls' trip with you. That is all.

THAT IS GREAT!!!! :dance3: I would be honored!

Love the updates! And the ears!! I so want a pair of those for one of our trips - although we won't be able to be there on Cinco de Drinko ever (at least until DH retires because he's a teacher) but they would still be awesome to wear when we visit the ditch, which is often! :thumbsup2

Yea, I guess they really are a year-round hat, huh? :rotfl: You will have to look on ETSY for Laura!
 
So if you google earth this area... its a hidden mickey. Never knew that

That's pretty cool. I never knew that either.

That's so cute. I would have been laughing about that all day long. It's great to be FOWDY inches. :rotfl:

Anyhow, Grandma yelled at the girl and said something to the effect of "I GO, YOU GO WE ALL GO!" She really had that 3muskateers thing going for her. Then she said something in her language which made the lil girl be quiet just until we got ON the ride... to which the screams came again.

OMG - :sad2: How was that poor little girl AFTER the ride? Did she scream through the whole thing? :faint:



We had to cut Barb & Elfis off

Nice drinking companions. Seriously, you better leave them home during food & wine. They'll never survive.

Ellen - dinner looks delish. The restaurant also looks pretty cool. I have been curious to try it since the refurb. Glad to hear everyone really enjoyed their meal and the ambiance. :thumbsup2
 
I was a grandma with a screaming kid on Haunted Mansion. My five year old granddaughter at the time did not want to ride, scared the bejesus out of her. Her mom made me ride with her, a terrible moment for me & her. Afterwards GD was alright, but I felt crappy because I had to take her on the ride.

Good to know I'm not missing much by not having a Cosmo slushie. The Grand Marnier is my favorite.

Your girl trips look like so much fun, the perfect way to travel!
 
That meal looked really great! I hope Drea ended up enjoying her meal after that face she made when it was put in front of her. :rotfl2:
 
OMG about the farmers tan through the tights! I was wondering the same thing!
 
I had a full post all written up and went to hit submit and I guess the Dis didn't like it cuz bam gone. I usually copy it before just incase, but was in a rush last night as we were on our way to P's ROTC xmas party. So lets try this again.​


We asked this family to take a pic of us and got to talking with them they live in Fl and come every now and then with their daughter, and were a hoot to chat with.

IMG_6131.JPG


Once at dinner it seemed we all were a lil parched well it was a LONG walk around the world you know lol
IMG_6151.JPG


Laura decided to become a pirate and I must have been scared... whats with our faces?
IMG_6152.JPG


Outside the show had started already
IMG_2831.JPG


But inside the show had already been going on lol
IMG_2837.JPG


Laura became Alimentación Ranger LOL
IMG_6158.JPG


Oh look no ones scared or a pirate, but man am I thirsty
IMG_6163.JPG

IMG_6164.JPG


How would you not bring this girl anything she wanted LOL
IMG_6169.JPG


Laura's steak was delish I really should have had that I thought
IMG_6171.JPG


Not sure why I made that face cuz as you can see I cleaned my plate! Infact I remember sopping the juice up with some bread LOL
IMG_2829.JPG


So to fast forward to a conversation Laura and I had once we were back in the room in bed. We here talking about dinner and I just kept saying it was good but since we had planned going there I read the menu and just kept wanting Lamb... I said and it was good but man I have had better, and it just didn't taste like Lamb. To which Laura goes that's because you had the DUCK! HA so maybe that's where my face came from, I was thinking this doesn't looks like LAMB lol. So next time Drea wont go for that last shot before a nice dinner so she can remember what she really wanted to eat LOL.

Anyhow back to my Lamb...er Duck LOL. These 2 had a night cap
IMG_6176.JPG


We took some pics on our way out
IMG_6178.JPG

IMG_6181.JPG


Look Barb poses just like El...
IMG_6197.JPG


On our way out I noticed the sidewalk sparkles so we were trying to capture it.. I eventually laid down to say I didn't want to leave. To which El joined me but I think she was just capturing my madness
IMG_2841.JPG


They got me up by saying we have time to hit the Magic Kingdom.. to which I rode the pole to get there
IMG_2847.JPG


Laura joined in on my shenanigans
IMG_6207.JPG


This reminds me of the electric parade as a kid in Dland
IMG_6212.JPG


So glad I invited myself on this crazy adventure
IMG_6213.JPG


I think they are just Happy to be here
IMG_6214.JPG


Laura and I made sure to remind El that this castle is much smaller than the one in Dland LOL
IMG_6217.JPG


A great end to a great day... 4 parks DONE.
IMG_2853.JPG

Look Barb poses just like El...
IMG_6197.JPG


CRAP! Does that mean I'm a $#@! too?? :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Sooooo funny- I didn't know you thought you were eating lamb! :rotfl2::rotfl2:
 
I completely forgot about the older couple outside the Ditch. They were a hoot!
