Us, Food, Drink, Friends, and Sledge (Hijack update Disney and Napa Rose 12/16)

Day 5 Part Duex - Let's Dive Head 1st in the Ditch


Not knowing what we wanted to do next I looked at my phone and had a message from Brenda saying they were going to try and get a seat at the new tequila bar and if we wanted to wander on over and have a margarita (or 6)! This sounded like a fun idea so we walk on to Mexico-land. This is when life at WDW gets a little ... hmmm... shall we say blurry? BLURRY that is a good word! When we walk in Brenda and Jay have a seat and are enjoying a cocktail with CDTommie and his wonderful wife, who we had the pleasure of meeting at PFTS and Brenda's Birthday Bash. We sit down and well .. I will give you a photo journey by National Booz-o-Graphics!

Here are Brenda and I at the start of the afternoon -

Tommie and Jay

The classic Margarita!

Disney got all the drinks in this place right! They are all excellent and full of tequila goodness. See that little silver shaker?! That is full of your refill for the classic!

You know how it goes - You meet friends at a bar, you order a drink, you order another drink and some may even order a third or dare I say a fourth.. then the next thing you know you have a Godzilla on the table and you have a strangers Birthday hat on your head! What this doesn't happen to all of you???!

Godzilla - purchased by Jay and Brenda for their collection and bravely brought out to show the drunks, I mean the friends at the table!

The Birthday girl and her friend had come for the day from Tampa to get the free birthday in. Brenda - hopped up on tequila spotted the birthday girls shiny hat and next thing we know we are pulling them over to our table, Brenda's trying to buy her shots and we all have her hat on our head! What?? This doesn't happen to you all either?!!! I think I see 12 steps in our future! Anyway -

Here is Susan - the friend of the birthday girl and poor thing also the designated driver sitting in and getting to know the drunk table!

National Booz-O-Graphics the tears are forming in my eyes

Well at this point Brenda starts to set up a "Look at me do a drunk funny picture!" When she does a drunk funny picture and spills water all over the table - I just asked Jason if this was what happened and all I got was - "yea, something like that happened!"

So this is the picture that was being set up before the spilling incident!

At this point something happened to us at Disney that never happens! We received free FOOD from the bar (and water -Lots and Lots of water) For some reason unknown to us the kind people that ran the bar thought we all might need something besides tequila in our bellies!

So Disney tip #564 -if your on a tight budget just get drunk at the Ditch - you will then receive a complimentary order of chips and salsa plus all the water you can drink! That's one for the guide books!

Water is not as good as tequila!

Brenda and I after tequila! Not as calm as before!

and here we are with Francisco! The kind waiter who dealt with us on three trips to the Ditch!

A group shot before we left! (Not asked to leave -left on our own!)

OMG can barely see the tears rolling down my face, laughing my *ahem* off

Obnoxious?? Never! Cute - adorable- charming- and wet but not obnoxious!

wet, but not obnoxious

So then we had to go over and try on the Nacho Hats! I believe this is why they put them in Mexico-land to start with! Gotta keep the drunk entertained!

Nacho Jason!

Ole Brenda! Donde esta El Nacho Hat? on your head!

It's the 2nd most interesting man in the world and his side kick Pepe!
Pepe has Nacho Hat envy!

I want to hang out with you guys!

I probably have points at the Ditch, I'm the charter Ditch member, they've written my name on the corner booth underneath the Avenging Angel of Tequila.

Lori, you heard of Sister Sledge? That's Brother Sledge. Although you probably need to go back to CSI and get the forensic anthropologist to say whether it's actually a Sister (they measure the nose or something)

I just don't leave the Ditch until nightfall so I don't know about the light thing.

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Nacho hat.

Nacho hat who?

That's nacho hat, it's mine.

The avenging angel scares me

 

[hmgray95]

Random strangers, scary art, public intoxication, and 80's songs.....it's all just too good! Great update, Chelsi!

Oh, and I'm referring to the boys as J-squared in my head!

 

[PNO4TE]

I really needed this pick-me-up during my lunch break, Chelsi! Thanks for making me laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh!

 

[BriarRosie]

I definitely think Brother Sledge is scarier than the Avenging Angel of Tequila.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

OMG! Your day at the ditch looks AWESOME! I am dutifully noting that if I get drunk enough I can hopefully expect some chips and salsa. A tip for the guide books, indeed.

LOVE sledge! I was mesmerized by him when I was there too!

Looks like you guys had a ton of fun!!

I will only add, in Chelsi's absence today, that spilling a bunch of water across your table, apologizing profusely to everyone, and offering to help clean up the mess doesn't hurt in the free food department.

 

[kabuki]

What? None of you???

I know! Shock of Shocks huh?

Outstanding! Glad you all had a great time together! How are you guys gonna top this?! Oh, I know! VEGAS! LOL!

I guess the trip report will have to be called "what happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas and on the DIS posts!" I am going to start taking Gout Medication now to counter act the damage I will do to myself when we are there!

Catherine - you need to have your own chair ( not the scary Frida chair) and should get promo money from the place! You alone have brought more business into the Ditch then any Disney Marketing plan!

The avenging angel scares me

We would love to hang out with you!!
I don't like that angel!! It judges me while I drink!

Random strangers, scary art, public intoxication, and 80's songs.....it's all just too good! Great update, Chelsi!

Oh, and I'm referring to the boys as J-squared in my head!

Thank you! J-Squared

I really needed this pick-me-up during my lunch break, Chelsi! Thanks for making me laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh!

Your welcome - I am happy that you got a laugh! I look back and it was so fun .. happy to spread the madness!

I definitely think Brother Sledge is scarier than the Avenging Angel of Tequila.

No way! Avenging - Judgment Angel is way worse!

I love the Sledge and had to have him! We put him on our window for Halloween. The kids thought he was magic!

You just did the spill before I did Brenda! Anything for free chips right!?

 

[TDC Nala]

I will be checking this weekend, but I got the impression they've painted over the Frida chairs - maybe her unibrow was scaring people more than the chipotle (which a bartender told me is coming back - hope it's back now - and they'll be dropping the passion fruit margarita).

They've given me free crab nachos but I'll take cash next time.

 

[oybolshoi]

Are you guys taking Sledge back to Disney later this month?

 

[kabuki]

Are you guys taking Sledge back to Disney later this month?

Hey Guys! All I will be able to do this year is finish up this report. We had to cancel our December trip for JAson's work reasons. All good but still hard! So no Sledge does Christmas! Sorry Brenda! The rest are most likely relieved!

 

[MrsSpratt]

SLEDGE MONTAGE!

(HE is the most interesting skull in the world....)

You rock, Chelsi!

[TDC Nala]

[PNO4TE]

I am sorry you had to cancel the Christmas Sledge Run, Chelsi.

Thanks Jamie!

No Merry Sledgemas? awww

I am sorry you had to cancel the Christmas Sledge Run, Chelsi.

Thank You Elin! We are sad but you know it is what it is! Now we are trying to figure out how to use those points before the end of Jan. so we don't loose them! As Jason says - It's all good!

 

[oybolshoi]

We are sorry in Stinktown to hear that Sledge won't be terrorizing the masses in WDW, but I'm sure something just as good will come his way.

 

[BriarRosie]

Dang it, Chelsi. Now I have no reason to get up at the butt crack of early on my last day!

He has something planned I am sure!

Dang it, Chelsi. Now I have no reason to get up at the butt crack of early on my last day!

You should anyway!

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

Sorry you had to cancel your trip, Chelsi. Just more money for future adventures!
