Snow to 80 in 8 days–A spoonful of Holiday Cheer (2/5 update Ch 36 - Final Thoughts)

[onescgirl]

Daad-burn! You're moving a little faster than what you used to & I missed the last contest!!!!

It looks like ya'll are having a great DHS day! I'm enjoying reading all about it. I just wonder what do your boys think with some of your poses? Especially the pole-dancing one????
Very cute & funny.

Great picture of the boys w/Lightning & Mater.

I hope you had a great Father's Day.
I watched your boys win their basegame last night for your father's day gift! Wingo goes to my church.

Glad you found the Indiana Jones well. My kids had a great time with that, once they gathered up the courage to pull on the rope.

I still love the Muppet show there, and I think it's hilarious. But maybe it helps that I only get back once every few years, so I'm not sick of the jokes yet.

And thanks so much for that pole pictures, which is now burned onto my retina. Where's an eyewash station when you need one?

Hope you had a good visit with your dad yesterday and a great day! Looking forward to the score update!

Amy! Great to see you back over here. I was beginning to think you were either mad at me, or too busy lately to visit the DIS. Seems like every time lately I've had time to check the DIS your thread never showed up on my list of what had been recently updated. I guess it was just a case of bad timing because I did a quick check and realized you had been really busy updating. Need to get over there and get all caught up again!!!

Daad-burn! You're moving a little faster than what you used to & I missed the last contest!!!!

So you're saying I'm getting better with age???

It looks like ya'll are having a great DHS day! I'm enjoying reading all about it. I just wonder what do your boys think with some of your poses? Especially the pole-dancing one???? Very cute & funny.

For the most part very little surprises them anymore....... They either laugh, join in, or just shake their heads and walk away!!!

I hope you had a great Father's Day.
I watched your boys win their basegame last night for your father's day gift! Wingo goes to my church.

My Dad drove up from the coast and watched the game with us. It was a great end to a very good Father's Day! Really cool tidbit about Wingo! When I get the chance to talk to him I'll have to ask him about the REAL Amy!!!

Glad you found the Indiana Jones well. My kids had a great time with that, once they gathered up the courage to pull on the rope.

Thankfully my kids are very seldom shy about things like that! They must get that from their Mom.....

I still love the Muppet show there, and I think it's hilarious. But maybe it helps that I only get back once every few years, so I'm not sick of the jokes yet.

I still enjoy it too, but it is one of those things we only do every two or three trips! Wish they would do an update and change it up some though......at least add a few new jokes or something!

And thanks so much for that pole pictures, which is now burned onto my retina. Where's an eyewash station when you need one?

As hot as it's been lately you probably wouldn't want to squirt the water in some of ours at work into your eyes......... or maybe you would!

Hope you had a good visit with your dad yesterday and a great day! Looking forward to the score update!

Had a great time and a great visit! Need to refocus and get moving again with the TR!!!

Results for Round 7 of the Contest Questions

Scoring was a little bit different this round. I promised double points for the two difficult questions, and I also counted each answer for the two restaurants separately, so I gave a point for each restaurant answer correct, bringing the total possible points to 12.

Congrats to Tanya and Vanessa for scoring the highest points this round!!!

Rosie - 1 of 12 (+1)
Kathy - 3 of 12 (+1)
Liesa - 2 of 12 (+2)
Magdalene - 3 of 12 (+2)
Jenb1023 (first timer) - 2 of 12 (+1)
PirateKate - 2 of 12 (+1)
Mark (Capt) - 2 of 12 (+1)

Pat - 2 of 12 (+3)
Glenn - 2 of 12 (+2)
Jenbear - 1 of 12 (+1)
Dan - 2 of 12 (+2)
Vanessa - 5 of 12


These are all the entries I have, so if I missed anyone let me know.

And the leaderboard after seven rounds is……..

Magdalene - 22 (+15)
Kathy - 22 (+5)
Dan - 20 (+14)
Liesa - 18 (+6)
Tanya - 16 (+12)
Mark - 16 (+11)

*Seanaci* - 3 (+1)

There are still plenty of questions remaining and with some movement this round everything tightened up a little more. As a reminder, the scores are cumulative, so even any newcomers who may want to join in have a legitimate shot at the title with some good rounds!!!

 

[jenbear123]

Thanks Jen! And if you don't plan to show off your technique you probably don't want to hang around much with me. I might get you in trouble....... (not that I'm an instigator or anything!)

Nah, I won't be a party pooper. We need to get at least one pole dancin' pic and one thumbs up pic We need to sort out what day we can meet up! Do you have an itinerary going yet?

 

[KatMark]

And WHO are you trying to KID!!!!

Really, Rosie. If anyone believes that about Marv, they really need to have their head examined!

Ooh....not a very good round for me. But I am happy to see that I share the lead with Magdalene.

Still working on the itinerary. I'm a little more of a stickler for using touring plans to pick the best park for each day, especially with the summer crowds and the heat. I expect those to change some now that they've added the extra Fantasmic's each night while we are there.

Regardless of where I start the day, my afternoon's and evenings can be rather flexible, so if none of our actual days end up synched, I will just adjust my afternoon/evening plans to match up with yours so we can meet! Right now it looks like August 1st might be the best first chance, if I am putting your correct itinerary "day" with the correct calendar date! I'm still flexible for the earlier days though and was thinking about possibly adding an ADR or two that match up similar to yours - at least in the same park or resort - to make meeting easier.



For those who are interested and may have missed it, the latest contest results are at the bottom of the previous page!!!

 

[marvali]

How did we travel to Cape May Cafe for dinner?

Did we make our CMC ADR on time?

What connection did Matt make from the Toy Story movies due to his order at CMC?

What did we find before leaving Beach Club after our dinner at CMC?

What did Marv purchase at DHS after we returned to the park?

Did we stay at DHS long enough to see the NYE fireworks?

Short contest round to finish up our DHS day, and once again, just post your answers in super secret white text!!!

Okay just keep me posted! I still need to run this by Stitch but I'm sure if I prepare her all should be good.

 

[mom3sonstt]

Wow - I was feeling pretty good about tying for 1st in that last round (but since I got bonus points - I'm going to say I won that round .....sorry Vanessa!) And then you go and put some questions out there that I haven't got a clue on! And one of them I think is a trick question - so I am going to have to think on these for awhile and will be back to make my SWAG! (Did I use that in the right context??)

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Ooh....not a very good round for me. But I am happy to see that I share the lead with Magdalene.

sure rub it in because you are ahead of me now.

 

[KatMark]

sure rub it in because you are ahead of me now.

If I'm not mistaken, I was ahead of you the round prior to that too. (but I love you, Dan!)

 

[jenb1023]

Look out Kathy and Magdalene - I'm coming for you!

Going for a perfect score this round so I need to think about my answers a little more than usual!

BTW - I did some bonus point worthy sucking up to you on jenbear's PTR!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

making a few changes.

How did we travel to Cape May Cafe for dinner?
well since you had left off last chapter with leaving the family in MGM, and you told them to use up the fast passes but to hurry as you did not want to be late for your dinner...i will go with you hailed the family truckster (bonus points for using a clark griswold line) since your family was a little bit late to get back to you after there fun FP rides.



Did we make our CMC ADR on time?
no you were still a little late for it, but you did not have to wait long to get a table...

What connection did Matt make from the Toy Story movies due to his order at CMC?
well none of the food requires ordering since it was a buffet that you were at, but i think im going to go with idaho potaotes as hamm says that to mr potato head "way to go idaho"
and he thought it meant something else until he saw that "idaho" is actually a food and not something else.


What did we find before leaving Beach Club after our dinner at CMC?
you found the location of beaches and cream but decided to not eat there as you were stuffed from the meal.
as well as storm along bay on your way back to the boat transporation to take you back to DHS, as you guys thought about walking off your dinner, but thought better of it and went for the easy stroll back to the park.


What did Marv purchase at DHS after we returned to the park?
i will go with some ice cream to cap off the evening when you got back, because you are cool but not cool enough to pull off one of those large comical hats that you tried on earlier in the day.
you also got a nice new years souvenior to remember the trip.




Did we stay at DHS long enough to see the NYE fireworks?
yes you did, as you were excited to see them and did not know when you would get the chance to again...you also had some more rides on your favorite thrill rides of TOT and RNRC....where you once again screamed like a little girl.




Short contest round to finish up our DHS day, and once again, just post your answers in super secret white text!!!

i hope i was able to get a few right in order to catch up to a certain someone who likes to brag about being in first place.


hey marv, does the winner only get something, or do the top 5 win prizes.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

If I'm not mistaken, I was ahead of you the round prior to that too. (but I love you, Dan!)

ouch, but all i need to do is catch you and my bonus points will smoke you out of that tie breaker.


plus im waiting for the last round then i will email marv the nudie beach pictures to get a clear win.

I'm not sure which question you think is a trick question. A couple of them are simple 50/50 chance of getting them right. BUT.....there is one question that I agree is rather vague soooo..........



Additional Clue for Contest 8 Question 3 for everyone!!!!

There was a line in one of the Toy Story movies that never made complete sense to Matt. He thought it did until something he ordered at our CMC meal and that is when the light actually came on for him. What was it that Matt ordered that created this revelation?

 

[KatMark]

Way to bribe the judge!
