Something About Nothing..........# 10

[macraven]

Capone's was great. It was corny but hysterical at the same time. Highly recommend.

This was our first visit to blizzard beach and we prefer typhoon lagoon, now we know.

Today after breakfast we are hitting the studios and dinner at medieval times (won tickets) have a great Tuesday everyone

the kids and i did Capones the first year it opened.
(or right near opening year)

we had fun at that place. glad to read it still is around.

we also did the wrestling place and medieval times.

i have done MT twice in orlando.
we really liked the food but asked for the plastic utensils.......

we have a MT about an hour from where we live.
of course we can't do that one, the one in orlando is better.
(that is where the jim carrey film as done.)

sounds like you are having fun!
water and summer.
it goes together quite well.
(swimming i should say, not meaning rain)

Homies (lol, love that!) --

It's T-minus 3 days and I'm feeling nervous. I always get this way before a trip. I guess because I do all the planning, reserving, scheduling, etc., I feel so much pressure that everything "be perfect." I think I've dotted all the I's and crossed all the T's but I still feel unusually anxious about this one.

Speak in nice soothing voices and calm me down!

Homie........yes, you are a homie to us.
all the posters here are family, which is a homie to me..

those days prior to leaving on a fun vacation are stressful.
i speak from experience on that.


take up drinking so you won't even know what time of day it is.
everything will pass quickly then..

then before you know it, it is time to leave for the trip.

Hi

I'm back and playing ketchup today.

Good to see all the new homies...welcome to the darkside

Mac, I wasted my day off trying to get all the excess hair off of my husky dog, Sasha...I think I have enough hair to build another dog and she still looks scraggly even after her bath.

The good news is we are going to the beach in 10 days...I can't wait.

I've been to Medieval Times and Arabian Nights in the past year, I liked both, but I'd give the edge to MT. I loved the Dressage portion and I had more fun in general. Then again I'm content to watch horses all day

Anyone been to Treasure Tavern? Wondering if it's worth going to.

What's Arabian Nights like? Is it easy to get front row for camera-addicted folks like me?

Oh mac... LOL.... no shortage of flowing wine here...

Still -- gotta make it all Pair-fec-toh for the family! DH always tells me to quit stressing. I can't!! Tomorrow will be "what clothes does everyone plan to take" day. I have to oversee my girls' packing (ages 8, 10, 11) and be sure their carry-ons aren't overflowing with stuffed animals and other assorted... uh... crap.

Hi -- yes, we arrive this Sat. Had planned on staying at Portofino but then my stepDD decided to come, so we now have 2 rooms at RPH. Never having been to anything Universal, I'm a bit anxious as to how it'll all work out. Give me a "tell" so I'll know you if we happen to see you! For us --- two 40-somethings, carrying some extra pounds, with a curly-long-haired 20 yr old and three younger blonds. LOL!

 

[keishashadow]

mac we are family...i got all my homies and me. I'll take the highroad and congratulate the Blackhawks, take care of lord stanley's trophy for us until it makes it's way back home.

i love the disney waterparks, rode all the crushin gusher routes last trip - repeatedly. never tried any of the dinner show, let us know how u liked it.

Capone's was great. It was corny but hysterical at the same time. Highly recommend.

oh yeah, nothing like getting crushed by the wave pool. Can't remember the name of the family slide @ blizzard beach but slid half way across the raft on one of the turns last trip down wheeeeee. Nice kids we rode with nearly choked trying really hard not to laugh at that sight.

Nice Pool bluer !!

wowzer indeed, and screened in from the little nasties found thru out FLA...not to be confused with the fine young man in water. He's a lucky dude, remind him to thank you, often.

take two and post back in the morning

seriously, how can u go wrong with a drink that has the seal of approval from swedish fish?

ps the next time somebody posts on the U board complaining about the price of the onsite hotels, remind me to point out that they are asking $147 a night mid January for the Art of Animation standard room, what they tell me is 'a value' and that i was 'lucky' to grab a room.

 

[MDer2FL]

ooooooh, pretty little fishies swimming round and round and round....


Thank you, keishashadow! My nerves just took a step or two down! LOL

What's Arabian Nights like? Is it easy to get front row for camera-addicted folks like me?

An American girl finds out she's really an Arabian princess and various suitors from other countries try to win her affections with various horse events. They feature a bunch of Arabian horses as well as some other breeds. The best part is a segment with trick riders and vaulters... standing up on the horses backs, jumping from horse to horse. Way more than I'd ever be brave enough to do!!

The show itself was pretty cheesy (I mean... what else can one expect?) but the horses were beautiful. It just didn't have the same excitement level as MT.

Unfortunately I have no clue about seating arrangements!

i saw you slipping in here homie.......



you have a huskie and live in the South?
i bet Sasha sheds a lot.

that is harder than sticking 3 little kids in a tub to wash them down.
but i bet the doggy behaves better......


(this reminds me of sticking my boys when they were 3, 2 and 1 in the tub one day. thought it would be easier doing all 3 littles at the same time.
boy, was i stupid)

have a great awesome time at the beach!

i hear he is Tall.
and since he has a pool in his backyard, i would imagine he will be wearing swim fins.



but since i am 5' 3" anything over 5' 7" is tall to me.

i like cheesy shows.

a few times i almost bought tickets for that show.
i'm sorry i missed it.


it is a popular dinner show in orlando.
it has been around for many years.

i watch the Hawks, Bears, Brewers and the Cardinal games.

don't usually do a shout out when one of my teams win (exception is the Cards) but was happy for the hawks win.

even more surprising is only 23, or was it 26, arrests in the city last night due to the celebrating.

wriggleville was packed and the po po brought out the men in blue on horses.
i think Little Miss Sunshine would have loved watching that.....

at 11:30 last night tv still going back to show the crowds and the po po .

I think I'll look into this. I wish I had to do the nerve some riders do!
But when I can't do it, I photograph it.

I'm not against cheesy, but the reason I haven't gone before is that I'm a huge fan of MT. The one up here in Toronto is exquisite to look at. And that's where I first started taking pictures of horses (successfully)!

 

[goofyfigment]

MT was nice. I've been to the one in new jersey and Canada this one seemed smaller???? But fun was had and that's all that matters. Need to head off to dream land early entry at islands tomorrow!

Well I'm a year shy of 40 and DW is not far behind. I'm 6'4" and bald (clean shaved) mustache and goatee. DW is 5'10" and my sidekick. DS just look for mini me with a little hair, I swear the milk man did it.

He's a good young man, very thankful.
