Still Feeding Nebo: The may trip final chapter pg 122, Dec. 31

[UtahMama]

That was just a stick-on moustache, yep. Very suave.

I think you batted your eyelashes and got the right room like I do! Works every time!

 

[smidgy]

After adding up the reciepts for the recent sept. trip that included free dining, it came to over a thousand bucks for the two of us. However, under the new rules, the "free" dining would have cost us over 280 dollars.

ok, we could do without that appetizer, but we still have to tip, usually 20%.
and we wouldn't spend $280 on eating normally (not with eating in the room, snacking in the park, and the food court)

Adventureous. Right. That's why she walks funny, talks funny, and can't hold her liquor. (just teasin honey, put the spear down)

keep talkin' "Mr. Manhattan"!

I really enjoyed staying there too.
My question to you Herr Nebo is why do you never get your requests? Well hardly ever...I asked for Cabanas and early check in and got 8A -prime bldg- *and* our rooms were ready at 8am. just sayin. ]​

Colleen, evidently you have the lexmelinda sydrome going for you, also.
What Tiggerwannabe asks for, she gets. We did get the room we requested once, at a Motel 6, but that was only because the bum that got it passed out on the walkway, and we switched room keys with him first and took his room.

That was just a stick-on moustache, yep. Very suave.

I think you batted your eyelashes and got the right room like I do! Works every time!

Wendy, as the sayin goes, whatever it takes!

keep talkin' "Mr. Manhattan"!

That's funny, back in my bowling days I was known as Mr. Brooklyn.

Ok, coming up,,,,,,

Don't you just hate it when you run of exclamation marks? They really should up the supply! I use plenty of them myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, I will be here tomorrow for the continuing saga of Nebo and Smidgy!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

....

However, I will be here tomorrow for the continuing saga of Nebo and Smidgy!

Me too! Me too!

Reason: Hmm. this was my post 4545. Remember that old song, In the year 2525? Was there anything about year 4545?

I'm sure we could make something up

I Love that song!

You need someone like John Ratzenberger to do the voice over for this. I hear he likes to work for Disney.

I Love that song!

Colleen, I believe you would like, or love, that song,,,, In the Year 2525.
1969, Zager and Evans, a top five hit for the year. AND the only song they ever charted with. As far as 4545 goes, I'm not sure, I think it might be ,,,," In the year, 4545, your arms are hanging limp at your sides, your legs, got nothin to do, some machine's, doing that for you, whoa- oh. "

You need someone like John Ratzenberger to do the voice over for this. I hear he likes to work for Disney.

You mean, The Abomiinable Snowman, piggy bank? Mac? Underminer? The mouth of the school of fish?

nope, never heard of him.

Shawn, I just ordered two dozen more, had to put that on Visa, too!

crap, there goes one.


Anyway, in order of Halloween, I just came real close to posting that picture of the angry cow, and his wife that was milking him again.

Then, I came to my senses, and realized if I do that, it's going to pop back up here again about twenty times in the next couple of days, and honestly, once was enough. ( gonna have to order more commas, too.)

so,,,,,,

Happy Halloween!

Meanwhile, back at Coronado, our walk around being done, we went back and changed for a late lunch, and then on to Fort Wilderness, followed by MK, EMH. Another shot of the Casitas, durn, wish we were staying on that side.

Uh oh, doorbell's ringing, wonder who that could be? Be back typing in a jiffy.

 

[nebo]

Fine, why are there people ringing my door asking for money? One kid said he'll take a blank check!

Our last counter service is at Pepper Market. Trust me. If you are on the dining plan, there can be no better choice for a cs here. It costs a TON to eat here!

And that's why we planned it this way.

I ordered a combo taco plate from the Mexican counter. (gee, ya think? sure it wasn't the sushi bar?)

Must be the holiday, I'm hearing those voices again.

And Smidgy had the prime rib. Yes, prime rib is a counter service option there. Twenty bucks! She said it was actually quite good, I'm not sure what else came with it, I think a baked potatoe and sumpin green.
I was too busy looking at my glop.

My glop was, well, glop. It's ok, glop is glop. The thing they don't have at Pepper Market is any good dessert or snack choices.

For dessert, our choices were a cookie, or a sweet roll, and I think that was it. Yep, nothing like finishing your taco and burrito with a cinnamon, apple twist roll.

It took some doing but I finally got the, "what it would have cost " bill.

44. 68!

Holy cow, for a counter service restaurant for two people! (Oh heck, I'll splurge) !!

On the way over to MK, I wasn't really sure how this would go. I made ressies for the golf cart a month ago, but they now only rent them by the day, and I only wanted it for an hour. At 5:30. They said, after I talked to 3 different people, that the rest of the day would then be refunded to my credit card. Just make sure you're there before six, cuz that's when they close.

We'll see.

I thought there would be no problem hopping on the ferrry from the MK, and guess again.

A huge line awaited us, two boats came and left , and as were standing right in the front , by the rope, it dawned on me why.

Hoop de Doo! Most of these folks are trying to make the first show over there. ANd they are getting frantic!

Diane thought it was about to get ugly.

As we are standing there waiting for a boat, the temperature dropped about ten degrees, the wind really picked up, and the sky got black.

Spiffy.

I did the only thing I could think of in this situation.

I reached into my pocket and handed her a Sunny D! I even made up the concoctions with ice! Oh well! We will let things happen as they happen.

You do know my Sunny D's, right? Ok.

As we're standing there, the head "captain" is trying to keep folks loose. Making jokes, saying in a really loud voice, "It's ok, I think it will blow over!"

Then he'd lean over to us and say, "We're Doomed!"

This really cracked me up, my kind of guy.

So we just stood there sipping, waiting for the boat.

Then it happened.

Diane was looking the other way, her arm resting on the rope, with the "Sunny D" in her hand.

And he snatched it away from her!!

Held it up, looked at it, "Sunny D, huh?" And acted like he was pulling up the top and squirt some in his mouth. Diane almost fainted. Shoot, I almost fainted. But he didn't pull the top up, I'm sure from the look on Diane's face, he knew, but he just handed it back to her and said, "good stuff".

I kept waiting for him to lean over and whisper, "needs more vodka".

Then I would have handed him mine.

On to Fort Wilderness we go.

On arrival, we just stand back and watch the charge to Hoop de Doo, then we try to figure out where in the heck the Bike Barn is. That's where you get the golf carts. We don't have a map, but a woman overheard us, and said we need to get on the orange bus, then get off at the first stop.

Ok, thank you, thank you.

I coulda killed her!

It was just drizzling a little, but it really did look like it might blow over.
And we walked. And walked. We went north, we went south, we went east, we went west.

Nuttin.

I suggested that I'll go up, you try down.

"Uh, you want to maybe switch those two around?" She wasn't amused.

We found a restroom , with an in house phone, so she called 911.

It took a long time for her to explain where we were to the guy at the bike barn,,,,, "Well, we just passed some bleachers, and a sign that said Magical Show on a wall, there's a bush in front of me, two tall oaks on my right side, and a husband with a disgusted look on his face on my left. "

They sent someone to pick us up.

You do realize, this is all my fault, don't you? It's Mother's Day, my job to do the arranging, and I never got good directions on where to go.

A guy showed up in a big golf cart, we got in and he took us back to the bike barn. He pointed to a cart for us to use, then said when we're done, drop the key in the off hours slot, and that will be it. We hop in, and I turn the key, hit the accelerator, and slam into the cart behind us.

I didn't know these things had a reverse, and who would leave it in reverse?

Luckily, nobody was watching.

Then I sat there a couple of minutes figuring out what I'm doing.
Ok, we got it, and we take off.
We just started to drive aimlessly around, going down different loops, checking out the campsites and cabins, and within ten minutes, we were once again pretty much lost.

The roads were really empty, and you just drive right down them, like the guy said. All you would see would be an occasional bus.

The rain hadn't come after all, so it was kinda fun just "zipping" around, looking at stuff. I had made sure to finish my Sunny D, that would be all I need to get a DUI in Disney on a golf cart!

What did we learn? It's dark in here. Even darker than the bayou section at Riverside. I'm not sure I'd want to stay there because of it. Trees everywhere. And the pool is the most blah of any of the Disney resorts, looks like an inner city public pool, decorated with concrete.

After about 40 minutes, when I realized I was hopelessly lost, an idea came to my mind.

"Hey honey, no reason I should have all the fun, why don't you drive for a while?"

She wasn't too keen on it at first, but then said, "Ok, why not?" and we switched.

Just tooling along, going down different loops and all is right with the world.

Until I thought I heard something, turned around, and there is a gigantic bus, 6 and 3/4 inches behind us!

And closing!

I give the bus driver a lot of credit. If he would have hit his horn just then, there would have been a new show at Fort Wilderness.

The Poop Doo Doo!

Diane yelled, I jumped, but there was nowhere for us to get out of the way right then. So on we went, looking like this golf cart is towing a bus!

"DIANE, FIRST LOOP WE GET TO, MAKE SUR,,,,,,,"

"I KNOW, I KNOW!"

We escaped intact, and somehow stumbled back on the bike barn.
"Yep, that'll do it. We can cross THAT off our list."

I had told her I'd get her a drink at Crockett's Tavern, but it was getting too close to when the show was going to get out, and the hordes that will then attack the boat dock, so we left.

Hmm, come to think of it, I stll owe her that drink. Nobody tell her, ok?

Well, that's my story. On to Emh.

 

[TyRy]

You do know my Sunny D's, right? Ok.

Love the Nebo Sunny D's - we may have to remember that little trick next time!

On arrival, we just stand back and watch the charge to Hoop de Doo, then we try to figure out where in the heck the Bike Barn is. That's where you get the golf carts. We don't have a map, but a woman overheard us, and said we need to get on the orange bus, then get off at the first stop.

Sorry guys, but had to laugh - we were coming into Fort Wilderness to get breakfast at Trail's End and after we parked we had noooo clue where to go, I think we rode all kinds of buses till we finally landed there.

Just tooling along, going down different loops and all is right with the world.

Until I thought I heard something, turned around, and there is a gigantic bus, 6 and 3/4 inches behind us!

And closing!

OMG - I'm glad we don't have a squished Nebo and Smidgy, my DFIL wants to do this when we go back next year...so thank you for the tip about the buses sneaking up on you!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Nebo, funny story!

Chiming in with some of my facts here, that I know due to my tenure at Wilderness Lodge, which is largely managed by the same department heads and the same GM:

1) Pools - this has been on the wish list for upgrades for many years. It's a matter of priorities for overall resorts and WDW, but I think it's on the horizon. Then again, I have been gone from there for over 3 years now.

2) Sights to see: the RIGS!!!!! A lot of those things cost many hundreds of thousand of dollars, some over a million. Maybe you could knock on some doors and as for a tour next time?
A lot of people spend months at FW. It's a whole different culture.

And I will have to consider the Sunny D option next time I go to WDW outside of working hours. It should be sometime in the next 10 years.......
Do you think it would work with Brandy instead of Vodka, or would that make it too dark?

Great report as always!

 

[smidgy]

I heard that!!!! yeah, I forgot!!! NEBO owes me a fancy drink!!!!

 

[whogirl'smom]

Nebo, you guys make me laugh so hard! Why are poop references always so funny!

Smidgy, make sure he puts a pretty little umbrella in your drink, okay?

 

[Philadisney]

Nebo, funny story!

Agreed! I almost died when Smidgy had her "Sunny D" snatched out of her hands!

 

[monymony3471]

Our last counter service is at Pepper Market. Trust me. If you are on the dining plan, there can be no better choice for a cs here. It costs a TON to eat here!

We stayed here without the dining plan. OUCH!

My glop was, well, glop. It's ok, glop is glop.

Over in our neck of the woods we call it Goolosh.

You do know my Sunny D's, right?

Remind me to keep the kids away from your cooler at a picnic.

I suggested that I'll go up, you try down.

"Uh, you want to maybe switch those two around?" She wasn't amused.

And she didn't slap you?

I didn't know these things had a reverse, and who would leave it in reverse?

Wait I'm confused, you said: "SEE THE TERROR IN NEBO'S EYES WHEN DIANE DRIVES THE GOLF CART " Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Luckily, nobody was watching.

I had made sure to finish my Sunny D, that would be all I need to get a DUI in Disney on a golf cart!

I'd expect you to say I pitched it. Not finish it before you got behind the wheel.

Until I thought I heard something, turned around, and there is a gigantic bus, 6 and 3/4 inches behind us!

And closing!

I give the bus driver a lot of credit. If he would have hit his horn just then, there would have been a new show at Fort Wilderness.

The Poop Doo Doo!

We escaped intact, and somehow stumbled back on the bike barn.
"Yep, that'll do it. We can cross THAT off our list.

Isn't there a thread about all the hidden secrets of WDW? Why don't you let them know about this one. Could be a future idea for an attraction. You never know?

 

[winkers]

Poop de doo!!! I laughed for a good 10 minutes (as opposed to bad) invisioning you two in a little golf cart with a bus bearing down on you! Are you sure it was really 6 3/4 inches away?? You men have a tendacy to exagerate!
Remind me to tell my kids to never take sunny D from a stranger!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I cannot *wait* til our day with you on the KTTK tour!!!

Somehow I feel Jaime should now be calling me;

Tigger(Bell)wannabe(NeboandSmidgystalker)

 

[tiggerwannabe]

This was my 21 yo son yesterday, dressed up as Dr Grant from Jurassic Park!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Maritaaaaa! Help!!!

Is there more than one tour for KTTK run every morning? It seems Nebo booked for 9am on 12/14, I asked for 9am and they gave me 830...are we not going to be on the same tours? Is there any way to fix this???? I just caught this and will call them tomorrow to find out for sure~

 

[jluvsdis]

Hi Nebo, remember me? I've been on a little hiatus, but I'm still here. In the mean time I sicked my DH on the boards, he's done ok for a rookie .

Anyway I heard a rumor that you will be at WDW in Dec. We will be at the ASM from the 8th to the 15th, would love to hook up somewhere. We're taking our BFF, a newbie, who's a ton of fun.

Let us know your plans and maybe we can meet.

Jill
