which day are you at ASMU and at *** ???

would you believe I shorten my days in Dec??? :faint: I am starting to have hives...
 
Dear Duck

You memory is as bad as mine. :lmao: I am booked into Music from November 29th thru December 13th. As far as *** goes I am probably there all the time. :rotfl:

I am an organized freak and one of my many columns for info has a space for me to plug in when DIS, and other friends arrive and leave and what resort they are at and phone numbers and such. I currently have you down for meeting me and M&N at MGM on the 12th to see the Osborne Lights before we check out the next day. How have your plans changed?

BTW, you do know that Dispalooza is on the 12th at MGM and after all the normal folks leave, for a charge of $25 per, they are meeting over at Toy Story for a progressive meal and meet? Sounds like your kind of thing.

Just completed my food chart. Buzz is that park hours and parades are changing so best to wait a bit before finalizing that agenda. Not that I am likely to follow them but I like having them just in case. That way I can see what I missed!

Day 3 – 10/06/2009 – Woo hoo…barbecue day!

After having such a late night again, I thought that I would oversleep but still rolled over at 6:45 AM. Though awake, I just couldn’t move or fully open my eyes. Pete was still knocked out of course. Luckily it only took me 15 minutes to fall back asleep. I heard my phone buzzing about 8:00 and checked it to find a text from the Duck! She sent a photo of food grilling. Pete slightly woke up and asked what was up? I told him that the Duck was already grilling and how nuts I thought she was and there was no way we were ready to move yet. He said, “it must be 9:00 already…that’s when she said she would start grilling.” I told him he was still asleep and crazy….it was only 8:00 and duck was just getting a head start. He fell back to sleep but I couldn’t so I turned the tv on and watched dr. oz and judge pirro and after a while, Pete rolled over and looked puzzled. Finally he said, “what time did you say it was?” I told him but he didn’t believe me. I had paid no attention to the fact that I was watching tv shows that shouldn’t be on yet. Here I thought that I had only fell back to sleep for an hour when actually it was 2 hours and really 9 AM when we received the text. OOPS….my mistake! I got another text from the duck asking if we were on our way….huh? Stared at the phone and realized it was now 10:30! Supposed to be at barbecue by 11AM. Nope…..not gonna make it……she is going to be mad at Pecan again.

We both jumped up and packed our swim stuff and made it out of the room by 11! Don’t want to upset the duck! She may make us work for our food.

We headed to the boat dock to take the water taxi to DTD but we had just missed one and then an empty one passed by so we decided against waiting and headed for the bus stop instead. We finally made it to DTD around 11:30 and walked over to SSR. The duck had a look of …”well it’s about time.” Felt like we were late for class! She was all set up and waiting for us.

GrumpyOne was already there and we all couldn’t wait to dig into the food! Duck had grilled chicken, pork kabobs, steak, corn on the cob, pasta salad, rolls, and of course zebra domes.

She also had beer and soda…………everything was awesome! Thanks again Duck….have to do it again! Just then she remembered these vodka jello oranges she had made and jetted off to get them…OMG…these things were so good! You had to be really careful though cause they were full of vodka but tasted like candy. You had no idea how much you were consuming in just one slice! That slick little duck….watch her…she’s slippery!

I tried making these at home but destroyed them….guess the duck will have to keep making them for me. We sat and talked for a while and then duck decided to take GrumpyOne on a tour of DVC so off they went. Pete and I hung back to cleanup and just hung out till they returned. Duck actually returned alone and we decided to pack everything up and head for a swim cause the heat was getting brutal! Duck informed us that she couldn’t swim…..huh…a duck that can’t swim? (must be a chick – HA…HA) We promised not to let her drown and we ended up hanging at the pool until about 4:00…of course we all thought it was 5:00. my fault again…I was just having trouble telling time this day! We hung out in the hot tub a little while and decided to head to the room to dry off. Sorry but I forgot to take my camera to the pool with us so no photos!

Why is it that swimming makes you so hungry? So of course we were happy to have all that barbecue back in the room and headed back to duck’s room to finish drying off and eat again. After hanging out a while we decided to head back to POFQ. Duck was heading to MNSSHP that night so we decided to let her get ready. Pete and I returned to POFQ. The plan was to shower and head back out to DHS to see AI but we hopped off the bus at riverside and took a tour and grab a soda. When we finally made it back to French quarter, we were exhausted and needed to rest a while. We eventually made it out of the room and over to DHS about an hour before it closed. We unfortunately still didn’t make it to the finale show of AI so we headed to TSM instead.

I got beat for sure. Must have been the heat exhaustion…Pete…that’s my story! Having been hours since we ate, again we were looking for something to fill our stomachs but decided to press on through the hunger and exhaustion since the park was closing soon. We finished up DHS with as many rides on RNR as we could get in. Pete tried talking me on TOT but no way no how…..not gonna do it this trip! We headed out after RNR as the park was pretty dead and closing. The days events had wore us both out and all we wanted was to eat and relax in the room so we headed to the food court at POFQ. Here come those rude CMs again. I got in line at the pizza window and the girl took forever to stop texting someone and come over and ask me what I wanted…no smile…no hello. I ordered the chicken parmesan and it came with a breadstick and side salad. Pete got chicken nuggets and fries I think. Due to the hour, we both had to wait for our food to get done so I went ahead and paid and took that light up thingy to the table. When I went up to get my food, it was spaghetti instead of salad. Evidently you have to order the salad special….huh…..that was the picture of the dish they had out…not spaghetti….Anyway, I was hungry and tired and didn’t make a fuss. Unfortunately the food was disgusting…..chicken they had just reheated….spaghetti sauce awful. I tried adding sugar to it and it helped a little but barely edible. Don’t even get me started on the breadstick. Pete said his food was good but only managed 2 chicken nuggets or so before chucking it. I swear that boy loves to order food but never finishes it! We refilled our mugs with more “sugary goodness” and headed off to the room…totally exhausted.

Tomorrow…made plans to finally do some serious riding but we decided to go where the wind blew…….stay tuned!
 
Seriously, that pasta salad is the best pasta salad I've ever had in my life. Maybe because it was so simple - who knows! I also love that photo of Antss! One of the best taken during our trip. And to comment on my food, I stop eating when I'm full, what more can I say? Haha!
 
all I know is barbecue at SSR will never be the same... PeCanRic will always be missed... more reason to lure them back!!! :)
 
Hey DFD, people are saying over on the "When are you going" thread that it's not being updated any more -- is this true???? :scared1:
