Tune In Lounge, alcohol, 11.17.08
I think I had planned on spending all day in Epcot this day, but well, I finished up what I wanted to do there, and decided to head over to MGM. First stop...Tune In Lounge, of course! I pulled up to the bar, said hellos to David, and he brought me my first drink...Grandma's Picnic Punch
Oh and here's David, and the lovely bar!
Hung out for a while, then got another drink, another Picnic Punch
On my way in earlier, I had lucked out and gotten a FP for Toy Story Mania. Keep reading my regular trip report to hear about that. Anyway, David was going on lunch, so I took that time to go use my FP. Also rode Rock'n'Rollercoaster a couple times.
Anyway, then I headed back to the lounge, and David was back. Yay! Time for another drink! This time, I got the Magical Star Cocktail, but subbed in regular rum for the coconut rum (like I did at Victoria Falls earlier in the week).
David was talking to another lady at the other end of the bar, her name was Rita, and he asked me if we ever met. We hadn't, so I moved on down (oh yeah, 3 drinks by now...from David...I was a little loose! haha), and me and Rita became fast friends.
At this point, I told David to surprise me with my next drink. And he served me a Long Beach Iced Tea, which has since then become my drink of choice! In case you're unfamiliar, it's a long island with cranberry instead of coke. Good stuff! Oh, and a bit strong!
David then took a picture of me and Rita
Ha, and we were having such a good time, somehow we got on the topic of chapstick. Rita was there with someone else, so we each pulled out our chapstick. I took a picture, because that's what I do!
I was ready for another cocktail, and told David to surprise me again. This time he gave me a Bahama Mama. I always thought those had coconut in them, but he knows I hate coconut, so he may have subbed something. Anyway, he told me Bahama Mamas were good for me. Ha!
At this point, I think he cut me off. Good thing. I didn't even notice! He told me about it later. I took more pictures of the bar
Oh, just an FYI, this isn't David's side of the bar. If you go in and want to be served by David, sit on the left side, not the right. I had just moved over because that's where Rita was. Normally, I sit on the other side.
Aaaaanyway, at some point, Mario was making a drink with whipped cream, and I love whipped cream, so I asked if I could have some. Aw yeah
Also, in David's effort to sober me up, he gave me an order of fries. The next day, he informed me that I played with them like a little kid, pushing them around on the plate and eating maybe three of them. Too funny.
David also informed me that I stayed for at least an hour after my last drink, possibly longer. I took lots of pictures. Here's a few!
And for my last picture, David gave me a pineapple slice, and here is the shot that ensued.
Oh boy. That was a fun day. At some point, Rita and I talked about how she'd never been on TSM, so we arranged for me to get her a FP the next morning. I was in a very happy mood, so much that I was giving away FP that I didn't yet have, LOL!!!!
Also, at some point, I decided that I would have dinner at Flying Fish. I'd been there before and knew I could get in without an ADR and sit at the bar. So I bid David goodbye, but only for the night...I'd be back the next day for a day of MGM fun and ESPN and Jellyrolls at night w/David. Good good times!
next up: dinner @Flying Fish
