Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

Rub it in PC. Won't see plastic until October. Oh well. But yay for renewing your AP. I'll be doing that in August, since no rush this year. Hoping I can still read my numbers.

THEY CLOSED THE MARGARITA STAND AT EPCOT!
Noooooooo!!!!!!!! Wasn't I just telling someone you ALWAYS stop in Mexico?!
Some say that people are overreacting and they're remodeling to make it bigger. I say why the heck would they do this OR even close it right before summer?! Now the line inside is going to be so longgggg. are they even the same margaritas?! OH THE HORROR!

The margaritas inside are soooo much better than outside. Nice tip gets a "good" margarita-my one blood orange margarita made it to France-afraid if i drank it too fast I wouldn't be walking straight LOL.

But but but I like my cheap one on an empty stomach. It goes straight to my head. By the time we make it to Italy I'm usually pretty happy... and ready for pizza.

And then Orange slushies in France and a good beer in UK...

It does sound like they'll still be selling them outside right across from where the stand was at the QS place still. I'm guessing those will be more the "generic, not-very-alcoholic-or-authentic" types so you should have something to tide you over vs. going inside. We also don't care much for Cava de Tequila. Actually I don't care much for tequila and the outdoor ones taste more like a slush/flavory while the inside ones are too alcoholic tasting for my taste.

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Do they still have the oolong tea?

I wish Uni/Ioa had a drink thread.

Haven't made it to france since I've been 21. My sister doesn't like Epcot. I'll add that to my list for September. I love orange!

That's what I love about them. I made a good REAL margarita. Sometimes I just want a lime slush with some tequila... Just one of those things. Like Casey's hotdogs. or chicken strips at UO. Sometimes I just want the "cheap" stuff.

They have both orange and lemonade flavors - I personally like the orange one better but everyone else I've taken there has preferred the lemon one (I don't care for lemonade so that's probably the reason). You probably should try both.

 

[keishashadow]

Okay, thanks! We both have Keens - pretty sure not that style but a slightly heavier one. May throw the water shoes in as well just in case needed.

By cheap I mean can you just buy one pic for like $30 or is there a minimum?

One more question - do you remember any of the wine options? I've checked out their site and both of the "fluffy" drinks sound fine for any of us. Not beer drinkers so that doesn't matter but I saw pics from the cabanas of the little individual White Zin wines but haven't seen anything for "normal "people beyond "Red & White". Not a big deal - just curious.

At this point I'm more worried about the 60's and steady rain forecast for Boston graduation Friday than the "afternoon showers/thunderstorms" forecast for next Monday for DC but any mummy dust welcome for both!

Thanks all!

naw, pretty sure u have to buy the $99 package, but never hurts to ask

ok let's talk tequila, the best part of visiting mexico lol had an amazing flaming coffee there with tequila, kahlua & rum that didn't taste potent at all...they key to good booze.

Blah to WDW! Although I've been *****ing about Uni and Loew's.....I'm renewing my AP this weekend. Will I be the first homie here with a plastic pass....

got a shot of patron resposado lined up for you. need to renew the mr's, odd the email reminder link they sent took me to Florida resident price. hmmm

yep, it's rock gut but one of them gets the job done. last F&W did a beer flight (chocolate beer is evidently an acquired taste) then my special frozen margarita (1/3 of everything). Next thing i knew we were eating a late dinner @ ESPN. I'm sure epcot was lovely

 

[goNDmay9]

woot woot! love my orange french slushies

@pcstang trying to renew ours but we are a little early. will post long story later - but i am really looking forward to the plastic ones again. debating on whether it is worth the drive...

@macraven safe travels! hope everything is okay with the dr appts. did you get a grill yet?

 

[tink1957]

It's a tradition of mine to have a fiesta margarita as soon as I can make a beeline to Mexico...guess I have to find a new drink of choice don't know what it will be but I'm going to enjoy the research.

 

[Lynne G]

I'll take that drink now. DD and I got our pedicures, and DD got nails done too. Seems the freshman formal is tomorrow night. She still does not like her dress, but she looks so good in it, and it looks like it was made for her. Had to find 0 and 00 sizes. Petite like TinyD.

Little sprinkle of rain, now just a humid night.

Tink, Rosita's Margarita looks yummy.

Hope Mac arrived safely.

Hope Schumi is having fun in this summertime weather on the East Coast.

Hope Robo has fun with the grand munchkins.

MonyK, hope the family and you are well. Job situation figured out I hope.

Sharky, I did see your picture. Good job. Cannot see it at work though. Oh well, it was cute.

Marci, have an awesome time at DC. It is such a relaxing park.

To all the homies, hope all is going spiffy with you all.

Tomorrow we leave for Detroit for 4 nights. It's the Detroit Grand Prix, featuring 2 Indy Car races. We get to do the Cadillac Corral, open to all V-series Cadillacs. We get to park right on the island outside of a hopitality tent with food and drink for 3 days, plus excellent reserved grandstand seating. We stay in a hotel in Greektown that we have been going to for years whenever there is an event in Detroit. Everybody there knows us. This is our second-favorite annual event next to the one we did 3 weeks ago! Washed and vacuumed the car this afternoon, have to pack tomorrow and we'll be off. Can't wait!

This is me... Nightly!

 

[tinydancer09]

@Lynne G haha! I wish I were still that small! Actually I don't. It was so hard to find clothes. If she's also extraordinarily short I could ship you some dressed from HS. I really need to donate those things... They're probably not in style anymore...

Morning time homies

Mornin' y'all!
