[that's nice]

Well...if your reading my Trip report...you'll know that's on my Bucket List...to be "That Guy."

MiJo...GoHerd...that'snice.

Time to start those TR's...see if you can get them done before Don and Myself.

Well I started my TR tonight. If you'd like to follow along it is here ---> http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2307127

Well, I don't know if I'll be doing an official TR for this trip. I'm just planning on posting tidbits and photos here as the mood strikes me. By being "That Guy", I got my face flashed up on the big screen 4 or 5 times. I couldn't think of anything to do but smile and wave, even when the caption said I was stinky!

Here's a photo of my DS and I rushing to a bench so we could eat our Dole Whips before they melted and evaporated!

Can't believe that I still have not had a Dole Whip! Last time I was in Disney World I couldn't find one. Where are they and what are they? is it some type of ice cream? Dis Dads please don't throw me out of the DDC or "Dole Whip" me for not knowing!

Here, try this thread out - List of Common Abbreviations

Thanks Wherem I Now. I needed that too!

I think we need to check in with FedFuzz to see if there is an appropriate medal of honor that we can bestow upon you

No less than a Medal of Valor with Clusters for that length of time..Love my MIL, but after a few days, it's time to move on..

I'm sitting here with 37 days to go....trying not to count..you can't count until you're below 14 days--then you can sleep in, watch movies or whatever

I don't know about the Dole Whips, but I can't pass an ice cream line without getting a Premium (Mickey Ears)...

Good thing I walk about 9,000 miles while I'm there...

Your taunting me with the Dole Whip pics aren't you?

I was wondering when you would comment on the pictures! Actually, that's all of my Dole Whip photos. They were great! The Dole Whips, I mean, not the photos!

Fanatic: Don't feel bad......I hadn't heard of them either and I think this was my 9th trip! I'm glad I know about them now, though. Very refreshing. Trennr can probably give you better info than me but the Dole Whip is like soft ice cream made out of pineapples; the Citrus Whip is the same but made from oranges. The Dole Whip Float is a cup half-filled with pineapple juice and then topped off with the pineapple or orange whip. I believe the only place to get them in the parks is just across the bridge going into Adventure Land at a small stand on the right ~ Aloha Isle. I think the vendors with the Mickey bars also have the Dole pineapple bars, which are also very good. I had one Mickey bar this trip and it really didn't hold up to the 93 degree temps very well. One afternoon, we were sitting outside the food court at POFQ, watching the human traffic, when a dad came out carrying a couple cones. His DD, about 3, was following him with her cone and she was really fighting a losing battle due to the heat, but she didn't care. There was green ice cream all over her. It was hilarious! Just another reason why we can't wait to take our grandkids.

Beware they walk among us!!!

Saturday in North-East Tennessee it was rainy...cold...perfectly miserable day...Mud was a good six inches deep in the Corn Field...not sure what the thought processes for some people are? But here's what I can best put together.

DH: Honey...I'm bored...it's raining and depressing...what do you want to do with the kids???
DW: I don't know...lets go somewhere.
DH: Movies
DW: nah.
Together: Hey...lets goto the Corn Maze!!! Great Idea!!!
DW: what are you going to wear?
DH: I think I'll break in my new white tennis shoes.
DW: I'm going to wear high heels.
DH: How about the Kids.
DW: Oh they can wear Flip Flops or Crocs.

I really don't get it...I was there cause I had a job...but to actually pay money to go through a slick and muddy corn maze in the cold and rain.

I honestly felt I should have pushed a wheel barrel full of mud thru the maze and tell people I had report of "no mud" in the northest corner so I had to go fill'r-up.

Ok this one made me spit coffee up my nose can we say that the '60s were good to them??? (remember the mud slide at "Woodstock")

How do you do with the 3-D glasses? We saw Bolt in 3-D and it gave me a headache.

I think it might have to do with the fact that I already wear glasses. Putting the 3-D glasses on top made me feel like I had to be hyper-focused on one spot in order to see everything clearly.

I hear they have 3-D movies on the cruise ships now, which I'll find out about in less than a month. Wonder what the combo of 3-D and a floating theater will do to me...

Yes the ships are showing the 3-D movies, I didn't feel any difference with ship motion, but I don't get motion sick.

lastly can anyone imagine how my week is going, I have told you before that I am a (long suffering) Raiders fan, My wife on the other hand is a Giants fan.
the bet was if they lost by more than 21 points I have to ware the Giants jersey every night at dinner and let her put the bumper sticker on my truck

This is too funny!!!!

Look at the bright side... at least NYG didn't win by 50!

The Raiders looked decent opening weekend. Now they look lost. Your QB is terrible too BTW. Not to rub salt on your open wounds.

Say it ain't so!!! he knows not of the magical bliss that is Dole Whip??? That's just crazy talk.

Dole Whip can be found at Aloha Isle in Adventureland...across fron the Tree House. Also at Captian Cooks in the Poly.

Pineapple Bars (I think they were made by Nestle) can be found at Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood...also in DTD at most Ice Cream Vendor Stands

Ouch!

Still...even if I was a Raiders fan, I'm not sure I would have taken that bet! It doesn't look like it gets any easier, since you guys play my Eagles next weekend!

Ya, Ya, go ahead start my week off even better!!!!! next three weeks look dismal for me, then a buy, then the only team they've beaten this year will be looking for payback

This is too funny!!!!

not just the QB the owner should be "flogged around the fleet" and then maybe shot!

PS- I put the bumper sticker on the glass don't tell her I'll scrape it off next time I clean the truck.

I'm jealous My wife will not live in FL again (We lived in Port Charlotte for a few years).

I hear that - We lived in Tampa (Brandon) for two and a half years and we got out right as I was getting comfortable with it. She says we can visit but we can't move back.
