Zen And The Art Of PTR Maintenance. Sept 2016 PTR. 16/4 Trip Report Anyone??

[SnowWhiteOz]

Yes of course! I totally want my fav Aussie lady there!

(@pkondz that's totally you! )

 

[SnowWhiteOz]

I'm taking a break from drinking, well talking about drinking anyway…I've already broken my break from drinking otherwise! What?! It's Sunday!
​

​

​

Instead talk let's about food! Or to be more precise talking about booking times to eat food in 6 months!

​

​

Now I've been trying to plan everything out in order to work out when and where to put our ADRs and like a fool I attempted to do a fancy smanshy spreadsheet like the ones I've seen @Elevationist and @ursalita post. Why did I say like a fool you ask? Well it turns out I have no spreadsheet skills what so ever! Clearly all that IT stuff I learnt at school has been replaced in my brain (most likely by Magic Mike gifs….) so my spreadsheet was a complete and utter FAIL. ​

If you'd asked I would have sent you mine....
​

So instead I have had to make do writing it all out by hand in my snazzy gel glitter pens! I'm so fancy! ​

There is nothing wrong with glitter pens

Jiko (This is a maybe. I can't decided if I should add it or not. Most of the reviews rave about it but I just cannot make up my mind! If you have been please let me know and maybe just, you know, make the decision for me? Pretty please??)
​

Then there is these two: The Boathouse and Hollywood Brown Derby. I keep flip flopping over them. Mostly based on reviews! I read a bad review its out, I read a good review its back in! I cannot make up my mind! I will possibly end up picking one of them but also more likely they will be replaced by one of the new Downtown Springs ones like STK Orlando or if it's open The Edison.
​

No Fulton's because it's closed!!!!! ​

I've only been to CRT out of your list but I really really enjoyed it​

​

And say yes to Jiko -I'm going to in October!​

All I have to say is
​

Oh wait, I have actual comments too - I've been to Beaches and Cream (but only for ice-cream)​

​

​

Be our Guest - I went there for breakfast - overpriced but valuable if you get pre-RD and want to ride 7DMT without a FP.

50's Prime Time - loved it, and the bar is awesome too

​

I think my first (yes I will have more than one!) ADR day is Wednesday...but I could be wrong as I suck at maths! So let's see how much more stuff will be announced to mess up my perfectly planned schedule!! ​

I'm up to 4 ADR days myself - and it's probably going to be at least 5 by the time I'm finished!

In other news I was watching The Mummy the other day and got to wondering about how cruel life can be, case in point what in the hell happened to poor poor Brendan Fraser??

​

(before anyone gets their knickers in a twist George of the Jungle is a DISNEY movie which was rated PG it was a U in the UK, so these are totally appropriate gifs
If I'm going out I'll do it in style! )

He doesn't look a damn thing like that any more.

So much...errr...talent and now it's all gone. Sad. So very sad. ​

My husband.

I don't care! I loved it! It's cheesy and silly and that is what we all love!

Everybody loves a cheesy show!!!! Literally every live-action Disney Channel / Nickelodeon show has adopted the style of Full House.

Jamie watches a bunch of stuff like Game of Thrones, The Flash, Agents of Shield etc etc, and just once I want to watch something FUN and light-hearted rather than dark and mysterious!!! I love it.

So as it was Fuller House day yesterday today it's "Why did I watch all the episodes already! When is Season 2??" day!

SEASON 2 CONFIRMED

The Fuller House Club gets it!! Right @TheLittleKatie @HomeSweetDisney @Leshaface??

My second husband.

You say that like it's a bad thing?!

My problem is that I'll sit down and drink things that taste non-alcoholic and think I'm invincible, then I stand up like

And babies vomit in public all the time in Disney! I don't see why it would be weird if we did it!

This is one of the funniest justifications I've ever heard

Sing with me now!!!

The AMOUNT of times Jamie sings this when we're at Disney is astounding

Let's start with GF, mainly because its the fanciest and I really turn up at the GF after a monorail crawl?? Does that sound like a good idea?!

This is actually a very smart move, congratulations

Salted Caramel Manhattan- Palm Ridge Whiskey, Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth, Salted Caramel Syrup, Bitters, and Pineapple Juice

Yussssss

Godiva Chocolate- Stoli Vanil Vodka, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, White Crème de Cacao, and Frangelico ​

Frangelico is literally alcoholic Nutella so I'm totally down for this one

Pimm's Punch- Pimm's No. 1 Liqueur, Hendrick's, Odwalla Lemonade, and Wild Strawberry​

Sadly I had this at the Yachtsman and I couldn't drink it it was reeeeeaaaalllyyyyy sweet!!!

Bahama Mama- PARROT BAY Coconut Rum, MYERS'S Original Dark Rum, Crème de Banana, and Tropical Juices ​

Oooh banana cocktail, gimme

Godiva Liqueur Flight- Three half-ounce pours of Godiva Liqueur: Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Caramel topped with Godiva Liqueur-infused Strawberries

Ok, this looks so good!!!!

This looks like those yoghurts with the fruit in the bottom

Are you all still alive?? Can you walk??

Well don't worry! That's why it's called a Monorail crawl!!

* getting the monorail like *

 

[TheLittleKatie]

I think I am 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% sure I am nearly satisfied with my list!

That 0.00000000000000000000000000001% (nope didn't count them ) is going to show itself for sure

So instead I have had to make do writing it all out by hand in my snazzy gel glitter pens! I'm so fancy!

Smell gel pens I hope?!

See my private message!

"Flip flopping" We're doing The Boathouse for lunch and paying OOP! We're not bothered about the desserts, and they have some good looking lunch options, I've got my eye on the two filet sliders and fries ($12)!

Gooooooood fooooooood

Whispering Canyon doesn't seem to get a lot of attention, other than for the antics, but the food is really good in my opinion, it's one of our favourites

I'm still annoyed that Disney is being so slow at releasing park hours, I know that we have some thanks to the travel agent links but I really don't want them to be accurate! I mean no Wishes or MSEP from 5th to 24th???? WHAT?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

GIRL I meant to tell you in the PM I just sent you but I forgot, maybe you know this by now I don't know? But Disney have been slowly releasing the park hours on the official site, up to the 13th so far, and Wishes/MSEP IS on some of the nights the initial document said it wouldn't be

5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th and 12th all have Wishes listed (the 8th, 11th and 13th are supposedly going to be MNSSHP nights), and MSEP is listed for the 9th, 10th and 12th so far WOOOO.

No Wishes will make having TPV null and void!

Oh boy, I never even thought about that! You're right, that would take a LOT of appeal out of TPV. Good thing they seem to be adding it

But on the positive side purple Magic Bands are now a thing!!! And you can choose them in MDE!! So I will have one in every colour!!!

YESSS I just changed mine!!!! I don't even really care about purple, but the whole mania that the Dis creates has made me unnecessarily excited about it, so YAY! PURPLE MAGIC BAND! I will have one of each colour too

He doesn't look a damn thing like that any more.

To be fair, he is 47 now they can't all age like John Stamos!

"One of these is 5 years older than the other"

 

[NJlauren]

Omg is today ADR day? If so yahoooo. Can't wait to hear how the first round went! You've got some great meals picked it in slightly jealous!

I have a feeling (or I'm hoping) park hours will start to be adjusted after the announce the Halloween party and stuff..., kinda frustrating!

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

DID YOU MAKE YOUR ADR'S YET???? Can't wait to hear all about it!!!

 

[TheLittleKatie]

I know this is my third message in a row.

But I hope the ADR hunting is going well! And,

......................


.......Also, The Night Manager needs to STOP IT.

Me on Sunday nights:

 

[Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Daa]

[Leshaface]

They've abandoned us!
Cruel! Cruel and unusual!
They suck you in with their prose and pictures, then... poof! Nada!

 

[Leshaface]

They've abandoned us!
Cruel! Cruel and unusual!

Well @pkondz we can be lonely and abandoned together!

 

[SnowWhiteOz]

Maybe she didn't get any of her ADRs @pkondz or @Leshaface so she's off sobbing uncontrollably in a corner somewhere...



(Or she just doesn't like us anymore - which is clearly impossible)

 

[pkondz]

Well @pkondz we can be lonely and abandoned together!

Which one of us is driving?

Maybe she didn't get any of her ADRs @pkondz or @Leshaface so she's off sobbing uncontrollably in a corner somewhere...

Oh. Yeah, that'd do it.

(Or she just doesn't like us anymore - which is clearly impossible)

Speak for yourself.
I am easily unliked.

 

[Leshaface]

Maybe she didn't get any of her ADRs @pkondz or @Leshaface so she's off sobbing uncontrollably in a corner somewhere...



(Or she just doesn't like us anymore - which is clearly impossible)

Well, one can only hope she can pull herself together, create a new grand list and come back and tell us about it.

On the other hand, knowing Lu, she may have gotten every single ADR on her list and is celebrating!

Which one of us is driving?

You. I'm assuming you can handle the loss better.

Speak for yourself.
I am easily unliked.

 

[pkondz]

I'm assuming you can handle the loss better.

Probably not.

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

I think my ears are burning....

Oh and PTR!

This thing has been going for a year!!

 

[Leshaface]

I think my ears are burning....

Oh and PTR!

This thing has been going for a year!!

Yay! Happy Birthday PTR!!!

We almost share the same bday. Tomorrow I will be officially 31 years older than this PTR

 

[SnowWhiteOz]

Awww happy birthday PTR! You don't look a day over 6 months old!

Although I think you're missing something incredibly important for a birthday...

 

[pkondz]

This thing has been going for a year!!

You should see a specialist if it's still around after a year.
