The Year of Disney Trips: ***Update!!!! 8/20/08****

Now that my blood pressure is back to normal I can respond. What a hassle, but I am glad everything got worked out. Think I know where you went for dinner, but I will tell you if my guess was right after your reveal......

I have never seen hail in Florida, bizarre.

Can't wait for morepopcorn::

After all those updates I am afraid to read what is coming up, there was an awful lot of foreshadowing going on there.

Glad to see you finally made it through check-in, WHEW!

I toured SSR when going through the DVC decision making process, it is beautiful, isn't it!

And hey you didn't get lost:thumbsup2
 
Well, that was some update! You experienced strange weather :confused: snooty people :snooty: confused CM :confused3 spelling lesson with CM :rolleyes:. You had everything! You even included a cliff hanger! Waiting for more...popcorn::

SSR=:cloud9:
:woohoo: My Fuzzy Disney Map Skillz were fine tuned after the last trip!

Well, that was some update! You experienced strange weather snooty people :snooty: confused CM :confused3 spelling lesson with CM. You had everything! You even included a cliff hanger! Waiting for more...popcorn::

::yes:: And that was in the first half hour! The poor CM, he really wasn't confused, just a lot of glitches going on. I felt bad for him. :guilty:

K---I'm late but I'm here!
Great start Z! Okay...it was a bit of a hassle...but great start to your trippie!

That day we were at MGM...in the hail and the rain...and we were wet...:sad2:

Glad you could make it Jen!! I remember reading in your TR about the hail/rain whilst you guys were in MGM. While I was reading it I knew exactly what I was doing at that time. :rotfl:

Can't believe we were in The World at the same time and never ran into each other. Then again, my stalking :cool2: skillz are kinda crappy, just ask Jo! :rotfl2:
 
So just to refresh everyone’s memory on what our original ADRs were for this trip:

Sunday June 10: Chef Mickey's Dinner
Monday June 11: Coral Reef Lunch
Tuesday June 12: Breakfast at 1900 Park Fare (added after April trip)
Tuesday June 12: Dinner at Boma
Wednesday June 13: Breakfast at Ohana's
Thursday June 14: Sci Fi Lunch

Ummm yeah, that list changed a bit.:rolleyes1 I must’ve been channeling LL or V or somethin’. I mean I was reading their TRs and PreTRs before the trip, so who knows!:confused3

When we last left off on our first day in The World we were all settling in to our new “home”. The girls needed purty themselves up badly what with the humidity and all post hail/rain. Everyone was pretty much ready by the time they needed to be except my cousin Bre.:headache: I kept giving my mom the “could-you-please-hurry-her-up” look as I paced around the living room area. Luckily my mom is really good at telling someone to hurry up in a nice way (thanks mom!:hug: ).

We finally leave, but we have 10 min. to get to our ADR now. OMG will we make it? :scared:

Maybe…mom close your eyes while I drive ok?:drive:

I did the Mini Van version of the Richard Petty Experience and we finally got to our dining destination for this fine evening.

Where are we you ask?

The Contemporary?

Uh, no.:sad2:

You see after reading V’s TR and seeing all the fun she had at a certain resort, in a certain restaurant, enjoying a certain “party in the mouth” I decided to change our ADR for today to:

CIMG1666.jpg


Unfortunately, we were very late.:hourglass About 20 minutes late to be exact.:scared: As I walked up to the crowded check-in for the restaurant I gave a little prayer:angel: that they would still honor the ADR. When I told the CM what time our reservation was for he gave me that scolding look that said, you do realize your late.:snooty: Also, in my panic to get here I left my handy dandy list with all my confirmation numbers!:scared: I was so embarrassed about being late and nervous that they wouldn’t find the ressie, but he gave us the green light to dine tonight and handed me the buzzer. :woohoo:

Oh! You will not guess who the CM was either? For all of you who read V’s TR about her Ohana dinner (the one that inspired this Ohana dinner), you might remember “Bill”, the CM that the mysterious “Ray” had phoned and told V would be waiting for her at Ohana. Well he was the CM at the check-in and when I saw his nametag I laughed:laughing: to myself in my head and thought of V’s TR.

As we waited for our table we took some pics:

We did some people watching because the joint was packed :crowded: and finally our buzzer did its little light dance and we were escorted to our lovely table.

Bre tells the Minions to behave (they’re not really accustomed to dining out) and she didn’t want any embarrassments from them.

A CM came by and got our drink orders, I told mom I wanted to order the Lapu Lapu because I heard it was good, oh but wait!

Where’s my ID?! :eek:

Unfockingbelievable! :mad:

I left my ID!!! :guilty:

So mom orders the Lapu for us to share (thanks mom!:hug: ) and Bre orders one too. Then our waiter came by and gave us the meaning of Ohana shpiel and explained how they serve the meal.

Our drinks came and whaddya know, so did the appetizers! This is the only pic I got of the appetizers:

And here is our delicious Party in the Mouth:

CIMG1671.jpg

CIMG1672.jpg


It was deeeeeelicious and I was so happy that I got to taste it. I mean that was my whole intention of making the ressie. :rolleyes: Bre didn’t like it, so mom and I shared her Lapu too. :woohoo:

Then we were brought meat and more meat and more meat and more meat. OMG! It was so good though!

After we had stuffed our faces, we were brought dessert family style (kinda blurry):

After eating so much we could barely move, we paid our bill and bid Joe, our waiter, goodbye and went to explore a little bit of the Poly before heading back “home”.

Here’s some pics that we took around the resort:

What’s up with that guy?

C'mon Smile! I'll tickle you!

No Bre, you play the drums not sit on them!:rotfl:

Then we bid farewell to the magical Poly and headed “home”. I was so tired because as usual with all my first days at Disney I’ve been up for about 24 hours :faint: and was more than happy to snuggle into that comfy king size bed.

Goodnight!!:cloud9:

Up next our first day in the parks!:woohoo:

Woo - Hoo! You've been busy tonight!

I really like the Black Disney t-shirt you're wearing. I hope this year I can find a decent one in MY size!

So I see you were up for 24hours AGAIN! I tried that in 2005 - I failed. After arriving and eating, I was knocked out!

Looking forward for more! :wave:
 
Love the pictures! We have O'hana scheduled too! I heard it was a nice atmosphere for your first night, so I booked it!
BTW- What WAS that appetizer? Dips and shrimp stuff? :confused3 Don't get me wrong- I luvs me some dip and shrimp! :thumbsup2

I'm so glad you did an update. Something was wrong with the DIs site all morning and I was going nuts! So it was a nice treat to get an update when it finally was fixed. :cool1:
 
Sounds like a very yummy dinner at Ohana! I can't wait to try a Lapu for the first time! Still 14 months away though.:sad2:

Thank you, I bought the shirt in April in DTD but I kept seeing it all over the parks. I tried taking a nap but that Disdrenaline :hyper: drives me I tell ya!

That was shrimp yes. The dipping sauce things I think were for the chips in the basket behind them. Plus there was salad and ribs and chicken drumlets. I forgot to take pics though and that's what was left. :laughing:

The DIS always goes down at like 4:20am for me. Very annoying. I posted the first installment and then the DIS went down so I had to wait to post the other 2.

Sounds like a very yummy dinner at Ohana! I can't wait to try a Lapu for the first time! Still 14 months away though.:sad2:

:thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 For Ohana! I'm so glad I changed to dine here, it was a wonderful way to kick off our first night. Don't worry Lessa, those 14 months will go by faster than you think.

Did you take your LSAT by the way? How'd you do?
 
Did you take your LSAT by the way? How'd you do?

Nope, they are not until the end of the month. I am afraid I have not been very diligent with the LSAT prep. I have become very lazy. That will need to change if I end up going to law school. I will actually need to study, I have never really had to do that before. The thought of it kinda scares me.:scared: :rotfl: It will mean way less time on the Dis.:sad:
 
OK O'hanas is a definite for me. That drink sounds nice but the food looked so good. I think I was there in 2000 for a character breakfast. Anyway very nice update. Nice to see him smile at the end, he was the only one not smiling in the group pics.
 
Great photos :rotfl: It looks like your Mum is saying you boys will pose for photos whether you like it or not :rotfl2: We loved the Poly too :)
 
At first I thought you did a nice sweet short update just like that famous other TR writer (no naming names ;) ) but then you continued and continued more! But...I have to say that I still enjoyed it and all your pictures. Yummy...those lapu lapu's look scrumptious and I would love to have a party in my mouth some day (uhm, that did not sound right!) :lmao: . I'll be waiting for more.....popcorn::
 
A CM came by and got our drink orders, I told mom I wanted to order the Lapu Lapu because I heard it was good, oh but wait!

Where’s my ID?! :eek:

Unfockingbelievable! :mad:

I left my ID!!! :guilty:

Cool, one of my illegal words has been used it a trippie!!!! :banana: :woohoo:
