Next time I will again not overthink my answers and just throw something out. It seemed to work pretty well!

And I read your disclaimer about the next updates! I promise to be more prompt with my answers in the future!!

Yeah, quite often the easy answer is the best! Funny how many people went through this long thought process, came up with the correct answer, then talked themselves out of it!!!

In an effort to speed this TR along and get it done before we head back to Disney I am going to post multiple sets of contest questions very close together. I will give everyone two or three days to get in your answers to this first set of questions before posting the TR update(s) that go with it. I hope to be able to do that by this Saturday at the latest. The time between updates will get shorter, but since you will have subsequent contest questions ahead of time, you can already be thinking about your answers. You can either go ahead and answer them all at the same time (so you don't risk missing a round), or wait for the TR updates related to each Contest to answer the next one since you will have a little more info to base your answers on.

So here are the questions for this round. I have already been working on the pictures (there were about 260 for our AK day I had to edit and decide between in order to reduce down to a more manageable amount) and the write-up, so the sooner everyone gets me their answers the quicker I can post the updates. For this round let's go back to sending me your answers in a PM!!! (Hopefully I have my inbox cleaned out enough to handle them all)



What happened for the first time (during this trip) on New Year's Day?

Where was breakfast eaten before heading to AK?

Who headed to AK with Marv to make Rope Drop?

Nobody attempted to make MEMH rope drop. We decided the night before it wouldn't be necessary for a good park day. Was regular rope drop made on time?

What ride was first on the Fastpass list? (this one better be a gimme!!!)

Was first ride on Expedition Everest Standby or Single Rider?

What Disney secret was next destination after riding EE? (this one not so easy)

What secret learned from one of Glenn's TRs did Marv get a picture of?

With the first two goals completed, what was the next destination on Marv's must-do list?

What sometimes rare AK sight did Marv get a picture of?

After a return trip to Expedition Everest, what ride did Marv and the boys head to next?

What really cool thing did we see a CM doing with water?

What did the boys ride next that always reminds Marv of Rosie?

Where did we meet Alison when she arrived to join us?

What show did Jonathan want to see while we waited to meet Alison?

What did we want to ride next that led us to get FPs since the standby line had a longer wait time than the FP return window?

What was the first show we all saw together?

The next stop was a return trip to Expedition Everest so we could all ride together. Who decided to stay behind and ride more while the rest of the family went off to explore the park?


Remember, you can wait until I post the TR updates for the previous contest before submitting your answers to this one. Once again submit answers by PM.

Did we stop and watch Mickey's Jingle Jungle Parade?

What did Marv buy at Island Mercantile? (Be specific)

What did Drew have to buy when he saw a character he wanted to get a picture with?

What one character did we get a "family" picture with at Camp Minnie Mickey Greeting Trails?

After taking some pictures up the exit to one of the Greeting Trails, what did Marv do that both embarrassed him and made him feel bad?

Did we make it on time to our dinner ADR at Yak & Yeti?

Even though it wasn't part of the DDP, who ordered an appetizer?

Which of these items did Marv order for his meal? (Stir Fried Beef and Broccoli, Shaoxing Steak and Shrimp, Maple Tamarind Chicken, or the Crispy Honey Chicken)

What did Marv order for dessert?

What two specific things did we do when we got back to Kidani that evening?


Remember, you can wait until I post the TR updates for the previous contest before submitting your answers to this one. Once again submit answers by PM.

What secret learned from one of Glenn's TRs did Marv get a picture of?

Oh carp, I'm going to have to do research!

What really cool thing did we see a CM doing with water?

Um, this wasn't a 4-legged cast member was it?

 

[3prettyprincesses]

Oh carp, I'm going to have to do research!

Maybe the first part of your research should include a dictionary? Carp? J/K Glenn!

Marv, this is an awful lot of questions at once! I have to get busy before you send me another 'reminder' pm!

 

[glennbo123]

Maybe the first part of your research should include a dictionary? Carp? J/K Glenn!

Yes, that was on porpoise.

 

[3prettyprincesses]

Yes, that was on porpoise.

Ok, I see. Guud wun.

 

[glennbo123]

Ok, I see. Guud wun.

We'd better be careful, people will start confusing us with Dan or Rosie...
