I’ve come to a place in my Disney travels where I find myself really enjoying slowing down and getting off my feet to slowly sip a cold cocktail and have a little refreshment.
I reached that point long ago....
I’m fortunate that I can go once a year, and sometimes more now, to my Happy Place, but realize that’s not true for everyone.
So far it's been fairly true for me with only a few exceptions. I feel very fortunate too.
As I was saying, I have really started to enjoy an afternoon break in one of Disney’s growing population of comfortable, themed lounges/restaurants. They have sprung up in a lot of places and often now instead of, or in some cases in addition to, doing a TS place, I’ll grab a small plate of some sort and a drink or two.
That's our exact plan for dinner tomorrow night!
The backstory is incredibly clever and if you like the Indiana Jones franchise, you will love this place.
I'm mildly aware of the backstory, but haven't done serious research into the whole thing.
The patio is set up to be Jock's old river steamboat like those used in Jungle Cruise.
I didn't even know there was a patio! We had our drinks at the bar the time we went there.
Pisco is a
brandy that is the national spirit of both Peru and Chile, and fierce debate over who has appellation of origin rights continues to this day.
Very interesting, I had no idea. I'm well versed in Tequila, Wine, Sake, and know a little about Whiskeys and Vodka, but had no idea about this. Now I'm interested in trying a Pisco Sour!
It's not a well-known liquor, so most places won't have it.
Hmmmm, not sure where we will be that might have it. Think Yachtsman might?
Incan Tuna Tacos, - Seared ahi tuna with ancient spices in a tortilla shell with lettuce, guacamole, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, pico de gallo, sour cream and a toasted lime $16
This sounds good, sans Jalapeno, it would be a perfect meal for me, even to split with Fran.
My neighbors had ordered a giant pretzel and left quite a lot. Had I been sitting just a smidge closer, I'd have grabbed it myself and nibbled while I sauntered around The Springs (holy cow that takes a long time to type out 
), but this little scavenger swooped in before I could get my hot little hands on it.
I would be a little scared about taking food that others had had their grubby little fingers all over...but then again you deal with people throwing up on you and all sorts of other gross things, so I'm not judging.
But, there is ALWAYS work to be done. Always. One could literally work 24 hours a day and there would still be more. I learned that WAY too late in life (spoken by a tried and true workaholic.)
I try to get this point across to her. She thinks that we can't have fun or rest if there is work to be done. She is always complaining that we are going on trips, and I'm thinking, "With the way you put me through all this work, I deserve trips often!"
OY! That's gonna be very tough. Unless you stake someone out, I think the chances are pretty slim.
Actually that's exactly how we threw out the last occupant of this same unit. I was just about to get in line for gas at Costco when the nextdoor neighbor called and said that they were at it again. I called Fran and told her to get ready and meet me outside and we went straight over there and they were still going at it. She politely suggested that they find another place to live.
Ah! Like Body Wars in Epcot.
Actually having been on both, it was nothing like Body Wars. As far as I remember Body Wars used the Star Tours vehicle, but went inside a human body. It kind of made me sick. Journey to Inner Space was a vehicle more like the HM clamshell and you "shrank" by the scenery around you becoming larger. Eventually you were the size of a molecule and there were many molecules on either side of you similar in size to yourself. Then you got bigger as the ride came to a close and you could go back out into the world a full sized human.
