The Do-Over Report.**Updated 7/28 ** Day 1 MK!!!! w/oPICS!!!!

[Crazy Kanga]

Loving the trip report. I have read both of them tonight. Maybe the headboards were made of " high grade vinyl"?

That's a good one!

 

[SnoopyDancer]

I just read both of your reports. I'm glad you had a OFT or MILFT. I guess we should call it an OFT ("Oblivia free trip") because **** also stands for something other than "mother-in-law free". (On preview I noticed that it censored me. I promise I wasn't cussin'.)

I need a do over of last week. I went on my first vacation with my extended family. We went to LA, Lower Alabama...Gulf Shores to be precise. Sometimes, I think people are not as considerate of their family because they think they can get away with it.

Anyhow, I can't wait to read more about your trip!

 

[Crazy Kanga]

Hi SnoopyDancer. Thanks for joining this crazy clique. I'll have updates tomorrow!

 

[Crazy Kanga]

Allright, we made it to the Poly and check in at the podium about 15 minutes early and get a beeper thingy and have just about decided on a drink order when our ZUBBer goes off and we are escorted to our table. Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you to Theresa my friend who is a Disney CM. She works in the tunnels under the MK in costuming. She is a lot of fun and we are seated and immediately decide we must order the legendary Lapu Lapu. Let me just take this little moment to warn you that this potent potable is not for the lightweight. Luckily neither Theresa nor I fall into this category so we go for it and have a fine time at dinner. Even our tagalong Fauna Focker decides to partake and it turns out she's no lightweight either. I heard she had been hittin' the adult beverages(or beaver eggs as we call them at our house) quite a bit lately. That's Theresa in the background lookin' a bit peeved at Fauna for sippin' from her Lapu Lapu.

Anywho we have our pineapple fru fru drinky poo and before long the parade of food begins or should I say parade O' meat! Sorry vegetarians you may want to turn your head away for a bit, cuz there was some serious flesh eatin' goin on in that place, let me tell ya! Vegetarians beware of Ohana. It is NOT the place for you! Yes, they do have some veggies, but the meat to veggie ratio here is like 10 to 1! Don't say I didn't warn you.
So we pig out on a various array of grilled meats until we are about to pop. All this great meaty fun, sprinkled in with a lively bunch of ukelele music and all manner of loud Hawaiian family entertainment and a smattering of greetings as cuzin'! But,thankfully the Lapu Lapu made all of that seem like Lots O Fun! I'm not sure how sunny my disposition would have been otherwise, but luckily, we'll never know will we.
Theresa, believe it or not, after 15 years as a Disney CM had never been to Ohana and promptly decided this was her new favorite place to eat and planned to have her B'day party here in a few months. Told you those Lapu Lapu's were AWESOME!
OK. I know what ya'll are thinkin'! Those lushes were wasted after all that drinking, but you are so wrong. We only had 1 and though potent all that meat helped drown out the alcohol so we were able to make it down to the boat dock for our Wishes Cruise without a single Capn' Jack Sparrowish stagger! Ha, so there! And I have witnesses don't I Courtney and Mandy?
Here is a random pic of us as we are killin' timearound the Poly until time for our cruise departure.
Nick, Luke and Fauna with the scary clownlike Tiki thing

After wandering around the gift shop and the Wyland Art Gallery which is way cool but way over priced IMHO, we went out and found the boat dock which was quite simple to find really, yet Courtney and Ryan who claim NOT to have been drinking that night remarkably could not seem to locate it.
Mandy and her family made it just fine and after our happy first face to face meeting we chatted and waited patiently for the missing Courtney and Ryan! Dum Dum Dum!!!!

You were not a lush at all. That was a great night. You should of told me you had got done early and I would came to the main building. I was sitting in the hotel room actually dissing I believe.

 

[CourtneyandRyan]

OMGOODNESS!!!!

1. First of all- I never claimed not to have drunken anything that night! I think it was only 2 glasses of wine though... B/c I bought a third one and never drank it.... That was the waste of $9 that I wrote about.
2. I had NO idea you had some adult beverages! You were so so so not apparently "loopy!" GREAT JOB playing it off!!!!

Thank you Mandy for your support and thanks for making our first night there SO fun!!!

Witness #2. And thank you as well for your support and for your part in making the night so fun. It totally added to the suspense to wait till the last minute for your arrival. Fashionably almost late! Oh, no I have ruined my own cliffhanger. Oh, well!

Your welcome it was kind of sad though cause my vacation was almost over after that.

 

[SingingMom]

As one "non lush" to another, we never DID get to have our "rummy drink" together at the Dolphin pool!
Guess that means we need to make ANOTHER TRIP, right?!

Aww, that's right. I guess we'll need a Do-Over!

CK,

Wow, another co-winki-dink! We're going to 'Ohana for the first time in November!

But, unlike Fauna, I am a true lightweight (how'd that happen?), so I'm not sure if I should tackle the Lapu Lapu. Sweet drinks go down so-o-o-o easily!

Keep it coming,

Kathy

 

[wendygrace]

Can't wait to read more.

Cool, you will love Ohana. Nick wasn't extremely crazy about it cuz they didn't have fries, but he did eat OK. He likes his meat. And go ahead and try a Lapu Lapu. Chris and I actually shared mine, and I do suggest you share cuz it is like 90% alcohol and 10% juice. Hey, maybe Aunt Rae will share it with you!

 

[Crazy Kanga]

Can't wait to read more.

Thanks for coming by Wendy. I'm trying to do my report and keep up with all the June Stalkers too. It's like a full time job. Good thing I have the summer off huh!

No kidding. And then don't forget all the other TRs our there. There are some really good ones going about right now. The last few months appeared to have been a really good time for people who write good TRs to go to WDW. LOL

 

[Disneyolic]

OMGOODNESS!!!!

I resemble that remark!

Ha, so there!

Capn' Jack Sparrowish stagger! I think I may have to try one of those Lapu Lapus. I didn't have one the last time I was there.

 

[Crazy Kanga]

Ah, now where were we. Oh, yes, my sweet little family and my great friend Theresa as well as my new friends mandy and her family are all waiting with Robert our nice boat captain. Who are we missing... Ah yes, that would be the now very famous Courtney and Ryan, stars of the new Trip Report Forum sitcom titled "Could We BE Any Hotter" Now if you haven't read that trippie, you are just not a cool kid. Mandy also has an up and coming hit on her hands also titled 5's a Crowd. Check them out now on a thread near you!
OK shameless plug over. Why I am plugging for them is beyond me, cuz they are way more well read trippies than mine, but oh well, that's par for the course for me. Anywho Courtney calls me about 9:15 which is when we were scheduled to meet at the boat dock and says "where are ya'll we are a the pool bar buying Ryan a bottled water, we'll be right there." So I tell her and so about 5 minutes later they still aren't there so I call her back and say "Where are ya'll" and she says "we are at the boat dock!" Uh, no you are not, we are at the boat dock and we don't see ya'll! Well long story short, they are at the far end near the little water mice boats..."like we're all gonna fit on those Court!" See it turns out they had been drinkin' after all! Just kiddin' Court! Love ya, Mean it! Ok so we are all FINALLY all there and are able to board the wonderful Wishes cruise. We get on and all start chatting away like old friends who have known each other all of our lives, but in reality, Mandy Courtney and I had all just "met" a few months back on a pre trip report thread started by the also very famous trip report writer Disneyolic aka DM aka DawnMaree. So anywho we have all been chattin' here on the DIS for the last few months planning all these DIS Stalker Meets and wa la this was one of them. We had a blast chatting and laughing and poor Robert the boat Captain was a little sad that he didn't get to entertain us with all of his cool celebrity stories cuz we were all too excited about meeting each other and talking about our other meets and how our trips had been so far and yada yada yada. Anywho we have a GREAT time, and Wishes was way cool from that vantage point with no crowds and the music piped right into the boat and the free snacks and good friends... !
Here we are Courtney, Mandy and me with a little of Chris tryin' to get out of the picture in the Grumpy shirt (so appropriate later in the trip I must Say)

You get the picture right. It was so cool! And sweet Nick finally got to meet his Hottie Courtney.
Side note...Nick is my 12 yo son who is autistic. He is a very sweet, mild mannered extremely shy child. So way back when he first started seeing pics of Courtney in her siggie here on the DIS he said "who is she...She's Hot!" It was SOOO funny and just way out of character for him to say. So anywho while we were waiting for Courtney to arrive at the boat dock, I overheard him whispering over and over to himself(which is something he does often...like thinking out loud) "She's Hot." It was so sweet and hilarious! So Court, I just want you to know you should be SOOOO HONORED to know that you are officially Nick's first crush!
