@Corrine how was it???

 

[Corinne]

So glad your trip is off to a great start! And a boarding group for GoG? Wow!! I've heard they sell out in like 7 seconds. Anxious to hear what you think. I've already bought my meclazine for September in case we're lucky enough to ride it.

The trick….which I learned for ROTR is not to use WiFi….I checked the internet speed for WiFi, it was very low,,,like less than 20! Turn on LTE! We got boarding group 96.

As far as my experience on GOTG….one and done! With the exception of the cool launch, I literally had my eyes closed the entire time. That said, I am not a coaster fan, especially in the dark. They say you should do something every day that scares you, that experience was a weeks worth of scary for me! Lol

 

[Suzabella]

Great tip! Thanks!

I love SM and RR and both are in the dark so...not sure what I'll think. Any motion sickness?

Corinne
Glad the storm stayed away and the trip is going well
Loving the pics and view
We too like the Outer Rim. There is a older lady there who is super nice and has worked there several years we like a lot
We also enjoy a cup o joe on the balconies at WDW
Our trips seem to correlate and it revolves around liquids of some sort or the other

Yes, Jimmy she is still there, she is so nice! The only way way it could be more enjoyable would be if you, Tammy and Casey were joining us! And all the other Groupies!

Our new fav spot we discovered - Steakhouse 71! Fantastic lounge, and the bar staff phenomenal! We wanted a burger the other night so headed there on a whim (we would not have done so if TOWL was open!]. We had such a great time, and they offer the FULL menu there. We had plans for my bday dinner (last night) at the restaurant so we stuck to a shared burger for me and Mac and cheese for Dana. The drinks, conversation and food awesome! Our dinner last night also A+!

We loved Steakhouse 71!!! I got the ADR's on a whim and almost cancelled it before we went on the trip. I'm so glad I didn't. The food and the service were so good! Wish I could go back.

Nope, not at all for me or my hubby! I think you will love it!

 

[Suzabella]

Thanks for the report! Ordered Meclizine. Gonna try it.

 

[bobbiwoz]

We are also fans of Steakhouse 71!

Thanks for GOTG report.

I get motion sickness more now as I get older. I took Bonine about 1.5 hrs before riding it. I made sure I had an empty stomach, with nothing to eat before riding it. I didn't get sick at all. We were seated in the front row. Definitely keeping your head back, eyes open and focus on the things you can see during the ride. Don't focus on the tracks if you're at the front. Good luck.

Been awhile since anyone has posted so I just thought I'd say hope everyone is having a good weekend!!! Really hot here in AZ. It's really windy and we have some big clouds out there but I think it's just teasing us. I doubt it will rain.

Hey DLI
We are at the lake for weekend
We too need rain
Been watering our garden every other day just to keep it alive until we get some much needed H20 from the sky
It’s supposed to get over 100 heat index here in NC this coming week
Not looking forward to that since I work in construction

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Who else wishes they were here right now?

My Dad worked for a home remodeling company and I remember so many times how in the summer he would come home totally drenched and so wiped out from a long day of working in the heat. My Mom was so glad when he retired because she worried about him working like that. Have a great time at the lake!!!

Here in Cape May NJ, our temperatures have been moderate. Today the forecast called for severe thunderstorms. Tom and I took our bikes, I have an adult tricycle that I love, out, but headed home quickly when we felt a drop. Well, the drop is all we got.

Our TX Family will be visiting soon. We haven’t been able to visit them at all this year so it’s something we are looking forward to.

Tomorrow I find out if the radiation treatments I had for skin cancer did the job. Those treatments are not like other radiation treatments, very short, not hurting. There were 3 treatments a week for 5 weeks, then a 3 week pause before tomorrow’s visit.

I hope you get the relief from the heat, DLI!

Best of luck to you Bobbi. I hope the radiation was successful. What kind of cancer was it? I had melanoma 6 years ago.

 

[TCRAIG]

Fingers crossed Bobbi that all is well!

Me!!!!
