Stuck on Splash, Swimming in Sewage, & Still Laughing! A "Classy" 6/11 TR- 5/6 DONE!

[shelbys mommy]

I was thrilled to get out of the car and I think John felt the same way, since I tend to be extremely obnoxious when I have been riding for too long. I think he had heard just about enough of me doing my impersonation of the guy from Dumb and Dumber making "the most annoying sound in the world!"

John: "Wow, they have everything I need to make a Jack and Coke."
Me: "You mean they have Jack Daniels and Coke? It's not like that's a very complicated recipe."
John: "Still, it's nice to know I can have one anytime I want."
Me: "Um, if you want to take out a loan to pay for a sip of Jack Daniels and a can of Coke, be my guest."

Oh dear god, I am literally right now!!!

Ok I quoted those 2 things because well that is something I would totally do, both of them! I love the conversation!

I would have gotten the $5.00 out of his wallet & paid someone to carry all of the bags! He sounds like Ben about the wheelchair for me at Disney last year!

And LMAO at pickle-zilla!!!!

Oh, I did get a text from you while you was at Margaritaville!

You know, the only areas of Universal property I've ever been in have been the Lynx bus stop, the parking lot, and City Walk? That hotel is just gorgeous, though!

My dad's just like John about tipping people. When he and I were at the airport once, he tried giving a skycap $1 after he'd handled four checked bags for us. Needless to say, I gave the guy an extra $5. He just doesn't get it and is a horrible tipper.

Anyway, your dinner at Margaritaville looks fantastic! They're supposed to be opening one here in Chicago sometime soon, so maybe I can rectify the "never been" situation

Can't wait for more!

I just love your writing style! And great pics
I'm from near Charlotte, not in it but close by.

Thank you so much for saying that; you are very kind! That is great that English is your favorite class! Are you still in high school? If so, what has been your favorite thing you've read so far? Sorry, I love hearing from students about their English classes!

I'm really glad you are enjoying the report so far! Thank you for reading along!

Thanks!

No problem I love English. I've been crazy into writing and reading since I was like 6. I'm hoping to get published someday Yes, I'm still in high school, this year was actually my first year (AND I SURVIVED ) And my favorite thing I've read this year... in classes or just in general? In my classes, it would have to be The Hunger Games, but I read that two years before, so... well I didn't enjoy anything that much, but Catcher in the Rye was decent. I just didn't like Holden's personality, but the ending was awesome! Now, I'm rambling on sorry

 

[dmwang9]

Joining late, but I'm all caught up and can't wait for the rest!

 

[PlutosRHM55]

Haha, when you said your husband doesn't like to give tips, I thought it was going to be because he pays too high or too low. How it works in my family LOL Let's just say tips come in all shapes and sizes. My family's "financial" life aside... Great update! I loved reading about your whole chat about the mini bar. Those prices are crazy, sheesh! And I thought Disney was expensive And that pickle is huge, but that burger looked really good Can't wait to read about your day at WWOHP!!! *jealous*

 

[ddstratton]

Loving your pictures! Your burger looked so yummy! We may finally be going to a Margaritaville on our upcoming trip. Have never been to one, and it looks like fun. Looking forward to more!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

I'm here!!! A little late but still here! Sorry we never got a chance to meet but I guess you were on your last day when we were arriving!!!

I love the pics of Royal Pacific! I want to stay there sometime this summer..with my brother's discount of course!

We also ate at Margaritaville but on the 17th I got the same thing!!!!

I won't spoil for your readers who the celebrities were but I know who they were bc my brother was working that day at Forbidden Journey and met them!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see what you thought of Universal since we were there several days after you!!

 

[A&LDisneyChicky]

I'm in, and all caught up! Can't wait to read more!

 

[Jaybird6]

Subscribing! I can't wait to read more about your trip - I love your narration style

 

[TanzUnited99]

Yay your back and started!! I finally made my way over!

Love the intros and the no dancing comment/pics! I totally get not being able to sleep the night before - I still don't know how I will cope! Am glad Lee helped you get to your destination again.

Lol I wouldn't have guessed guns or junk drawers to that question!

Leows looks so nice - wow at the price of the snacks/drinks!

Love the pic you took whilst looking at the mini bar and how it will be remembered for that moment!

Lol at the story of trying to overtake the fast walkers! Margaritaville looks great and you are right - that pickle is huge!

 

[Mrs. Sojourner]

Enjoying your TR; can't wait to read more.

 

[Nermel9]

Haha, had to at the Dumb and Dumber reference...that's one of Brandon's favorite movies. He especially likes the bathroom scene.

The Royal Pacific Resort looks so nice! I think if we ever actually decide to do Universal, I'd like to stay there for one night, then move to a Disney resort like you did, get Universal out of the way!

Wow, $7 for a bottle of Fiji water??? And that's not even good tasting water (I'm weird with my bottled water, I only like certain kinds!)

Margaritaville looks fun, I've only been there once, at the casino in CT, but I think I only got a drink. I'd like to eat there someday. That pickle is kind of ridiculous!

 

[Tracy161]

Great update! And wow, was your resort beautiful!!! I was so happy to see that you and John went to Margaritaville - I am a HUGE Jimmy Buffett fan and went to the one in Key West several years ago and loved it!!!!!! Can't wait to read more!

 

[Belle83]

Thanks for including the Universal stuff, I'm considering staying at one of the Universal hotels for part of our next trip (to get free Express Passes and boat transportation, mostly). Am enjoying your report!

 

[stephielela]

The hotel looks beautiful! I had to laugh when you sped past the security checkpoint. Totally something I would do!

I wonder why you are feeling depressed? Could it be that you are betraying Mickey and cheating with Harry Potter?


Ooooh celebrities?! Can't wait to find out who!

 

[IheartDDuck]

Oh my god, minibars are just terrible aren't they? I can't believe they charge so much for things. It's crazy.

The hotel looks very pretty. i've seen lots of pictures of it, but haven't actually be there before.

Your DH sounds just like my dad. He always wanted to take the route to have us lug everything rather than just paying someone to help us out. You definitely feel like a pack mule.

 

[pooksma]

Really enjoying your report. Thanks for sharing with us.

 

[JessicaFaye508]

I'm here!! I didn't know you started a new one but Kristen told me! I finally had time to catch up!

I really want that burger... it looks delicious! haha YUM

I'm excited for you guys to get back to Disney! YAY I love reading about your adventures

 

[Disneyfreak616]

WOW! The resort is beautiful!!!

I've never really gotten into the whole Universal thing, because I just can't be in Orlando and not be in Disney, but that resort is starting to change my mind! It's gorgeous!

Love the room! The modern decor is really pretty.

Oh the mini bar...love the pic! You guys are too cute!

SEVEN DOLLARS?!?!? For WATER?? I mean, I know it's Fiji water, but still! I can buy two cases for almost that much at Wegmans!!!

I love the silent married conversation...I can totally picture that.

for saving 5 bucks!

That pool looks SO FUN! OMG it's so tropical and gorgeous! If I ever am talked into going to Universal for more than just a day, RPR is where I want to stay.

HAHAHA "Ma'am, excuse me Ma'am!!" LOL. I would TOTALLY do the exact same thing, that is so funny! Good thing you weren't actually a thief!

MMMMM...Margaritaville! I love the atmosphere there, so tropical and fun! I seem to be noticing that a lot in this update. LOL.

Woah, that pickle IS huge! YUMMM.

What a great first day! I can't wait to hear about the next one!
