Canadian Buffoon's Hi Low Vacation - South Central Musings

[pkondz]

Oh, updates are so much more fun than going outside and taking the dog for a walk.

You don't have to pick it up
when this one's like poop.

In the snow. Sure wish I knew someone who had some kind of pull for "snow removal". Not you, of course, you seem to have done more than your quota for your lifetime!

Although I may consider branching out.

So glad that you at least got to meet up with some of your peeps. I haven't seen Lu post much anywhere lately, I hope she had a fantastic trip that lived up to the excitement of your Dismeet!

Nope. Neither Lu nor Katie have been around since.

Loved the Frozen pictures - I am thinking of not if, but how many park tickets I should buy on the Canadian no expiry offer...

They have non expiry?? I saw the discount, but didn't notice that.

1. 2:15 am
2. 8 minutes
3. Zootopia
4. Of course scared
5. XL Double Double decaf to go, thank you

Bonus: Yes I did, please refer back to veiled reference at the beginning of post.

Noted. And got that one too.

License plate idea: PONZI, of course!

Got it! Thanks!

Now all your food pictures have made me hungry, and yet I find myself very far away in location and time from any F&W booths, so I guess it's toast for me, literally!

Just don't fall butter side down.

 

[pkondz]

Don't forget your story about your new shoes!!!

Agh! Totally forgot.

Not much to tell, really.
Large blisters. Both feet.
Mole skin.... which when I took them off...


Took the skin off with them.

Lots of fun. Really.

 

[pkondz]

PKONZ
CRI6 - ok, that kind of sucks, but if you sound it out... close
GRMPS

Thanks Andy.
And.... not bad with the CRI6,
but I have a feeling that if you have to explain it...
no one's gonna get it.

Tricky...

That's me!

You crazy Canadians and your alternate spellings.

You silly Americans removing letters.

Ever since the Bstn T Prty.

I know... sometimes it can be pushing it at an hour too!

Nah. Not possible.

I'd say I hate you, but I'm not sure that's a strong enough word.

So you're telling us you're going to camp out in Club Cool???

Probably should have.
But it's on the wrong side of Epcot.

I just call it the Norway Bakery. Easy peasy.

Where's the fun in that!?!?

SUCKERS!

Ya gots a nasty streak there dude.


I like it.

Well, I guess that would make you her favorite person in the world...

Oh yes!
I could literally hear her gritting her teeth.

That's a sign of happiness, right

And this is why I've never sat down in there. Walk up to the bar and get them to go!

Well, sure.
But when you're hosting a DISmeet...


Do what you said.

If you had only skipped the shower...

Then instead of walking out of the park...
They would've run.

Dang... you've spent so much time there you should almost be a Mexican citizen by now!

Arrrrriba!!!!!


Whoa. Where did that come from?

You'll figure it out one of these days.

Probably not.

Aw... so thoughtful!

Very much.
I was very touched by her thoughtfulness.

Really? I never noticed.

Yup. Jamie was obviously in the wrong group.

Is it wrong that I think it would be funny to see a bird swooping in for a snack as you've set your food down and taken a step back just to get a picture of it?

That would've made for a great story!

And you know where else they have chocolate? MK! And you can stand there eating chocolate while you watch Wishes!

But not like this.

Then again... I'll never know.

Ouch...

Yeah... Oh well. I'm in MK!
How bad can that be?

Totally agree. Even without Wishes it is still a great place to be!

I hate the parade Nazis.

I mean I get it. Really I do. And I'd hate to have their job. Because it has to suck. But sometimes it just seems a little bit extreme.

She may have been a tad....

Overzealous.

I've said it, but I won't take credit for being the one to tell you about it because I know that reading it here elsewhere led me to want to try it at night.

Might have been you. Who knows?

Brilliant! I see what they did there. Assuming by the time you walk all the way around the parade might be past?

Nah. Just passing the buck.
Doesn't break the rules.

Rule #432. Never say "I don't know" to a guest.
Foist him or her off on another sucker.
Make it a game! Have fun! This is Disney!

Poor guy. Avoided that Disney meltdown all day and right before it was time to leave...

Yup. Sooooo close.

Totally understand. I think it was wise to leave on a high note like that though!

Yeah. I left feeling like I hadn't left any stone unturned, you know?

1. Too damn early
Oh, more specific? Um... 3:45
2. Well I guess I'll go all in on my original contest guess and say 20 minutes for a total cumulative wait time of 123.
3. Big Hero 6
4. Yes
5. I dump it down the drain and get something else to drink.

Noted.

Oh boy! You make it sound so exciting!!!!!

Gotta have a hook to keep 'em coming back!

 

[pkondz]

1. I seem to recall most of your return flights being really early. So I'll guess you're going to leave the resort around 3 am for the DUD, which means a 2 am alarm.
2. 5 mins
3. Finding Dory (came out this past summer, so watching it on the airplane could fit the timeframe...although it might be a little too early for it to already have been showing)
4. Yes
5. Usually do iced coffee with cream and sweet & low

Noted!

Bonus -- sure did. Little guy likes to hover in on conversations, doesn't he?

Hey. At least he's not trying
to blow up the world for once!

Bee careful about awarding me points for puns/malapropisms, things could get hawkward with more encourage mint.

Yore tarry a bull.

Okay, so I am not clever enough to make a suggestion for your license plate but I did want to say definitely don't go with 'CRYZS'. The first thing I thought was 'crazies' for some reason, and I am not sure if that is the association you are really looking for!

Yeah, that one's definitely on the scrap heap.

Your Dismeet looks like fun! Though I can't help but wonder a few things: 1. Does cleaning up really matter when you only have one pair of shorts? 2. It was noted that drinks were ordered a couple of times due to getting a table more than once. Did you get to enjoy more than one delicious margarita?!

They were very good meets!

And, yes. It matters.
BO is not for company. Shorts notwithstanding.

I had at least two Margs...
But I forgot to write down which ones I had.

Nice overall sampling of the foods. Looks good. And I swear everyone eats on a trash can at some point on a Disney trip!

It's a Disney rule.

The Haunted Mansion is my favorite. Good job getting another ride in.

It's the best!

However, the Jungle Cruise is just SO different! No one ever believes me that it is worth it until I drag them on with no choice!!

I really enjoyed it!
It was like a completely different ride!

Okay, and for my guesses"
1. 3:45am
2. 13 minutes
3. Wreck It Ralph
4. Yes!
5. Cream and Sugar please!

Noted.

And Bonus! I actually did see it this time!!

You did!

 

[pkondz]

My best ideas: Pkond (in nod to your screen name) , Mouse {because } or even MickE , Or if you want to go for slightly humorous maybe TINK {because on the open road I'm sure you'll FLY!} or Along those same lines,
P_ Pan {Which also works because its one of your favorite rides at Disney and a nod to the midlife crisis thing you were orginally going for. you know the whole don't want to grow up thing.}

Got 'em. Thanks!

You want to sieze the WHAT?!?

That's what Google translate is for!

DRAT! And here I ruled that as a Trick answer.

Did I not say I was tricky?

Asks the man who is infact NOT in a park at that moment.

I was wondering if anyone would mention that...

If you got there around 2ish then its more than likely you are experiencing the Rope Dropping park hoppers who are switching parks and those that go back to their room for an afternoon break.

Could be.

Nah. My answer's right.

I'm always right.


My TR.

You forgot Little Miss's favorite word taught to her by her british grandfather... Trash=Rubbish. She's been going around the house saying things are "rubbish" for about a month now.

I love that word!
Wish I'd remembered that one.

DRAT!

Sorry!

4am because you always seem to take the super early flights for some reason.

5 min

Inside Out

yes!

Half coffee/Half cream and cocoa mix or sugar.

Very tricky this one. I had to go look again put yes I did see it.

Noted. And... saw what?

 

[pkondz]

That's it for now kids.
Gotta get going to work.

Later!

 

[cinderkelly]

Who wants bonus points?!?!?
You do?

I do! I do! I've fallen behind and I can't get up

Yes! Of course!
Time for some Gronnsaksgrateng.
I mean, everyone raves about it.
What's not to love about a
vegetable terrine with braised lentils??
Am I right???

It's all the rage with the millennials these days

I wasn't quite sure what to expect
from this ride.
I hadn't hear

I really liked it also, I've heard from others that they think it's boring. Not sure if I'd stand in line for 180 minutes for it, but it's cool. Frozen, cool....

to evil demon from the Abyss.

Freaky!

Elsa farts out a whole bunch
of little snow dudes,
someone gives her

pkondz does not do late.
Sometimes stuff happens.
But not if he can help it.)
but it was time to get going.

Me neither. If I'm right on time, I'm late, if I'm actually late, I'm mortified

After a while, Lu showed up!
We said hello and she said
that Katie and Jamie we

So cool that you got to meet them! I bet that was fun

Oh, if only Lu was still around.
How she'd have fun that.)

I miss her around here, hope she is doing well

Oh, I'm sorry sir. They were at eight."

Bummer

My trip to Disney was over.
I knew it.

But at least you have a DLR trip to look forward to!!

1. What time does the infernal alarm go off?

3:30am

2. How long do I wait for DUD (Disney's Un-magical Depress)?

10 min

3. I watch a Disney animated movie on the flight. Which?
Hint: Hadn't seen it before. Hint 2:Released this decade.

Since you have an all new appreciation for it, Frozen

4. Connecting flight. Do I make it?

Yes

5. How do you take your coffee?

Half double decaf half caff, but seriously I'm more of an English Breakfast tea kinda gal

Bonus: Did you see it?
You saw it? Yes?

Yes, yes I did. You are one busy guy, plowing and airlines and all....
Edited to add Marvin in the Ditch

And the bike plate suggestion, ODEAR could be Marvin the Martian or midlife crisis related!

Edited to add 999HH for your fav Haunted Mansion

 

[pkondz]

1. 5:45AM
2. 6 minutes
3.BFG
4. yes
5. creamer, no sugar

Noted!

Bonus: Did you see it?
Yes, yes I did!

See what??

As for the license plate::
My 2 cents will be this::
CRISE
-or-
something a bit out of the box...
BOON
noun
1. something to be thankful for; blessing; benefit.
2. something that is asked; a favor sought.
*Because you are thankful to have found your way through this mid-life crisis with your Bad A** bike
-definitely a creative approach to your license plate conundrum.

Not bad! Thanks!

Fun update, glad you were able to meet up with a few folks, looks like you had a good time.

Still... wish I'd been a better host
with Laura and Bill.

Those Kahlua sliders look good. My DH had one (most likely the same thing) on our F & W trip a couple years ago and it was tasty.

See! I told you!

Sorry you didn't get to see Wishes but glad you at least got a couple more rides in.

Pretty good consolation prize
wouldn't you say?

1. What time does the infernal alarm go off?-------5am
2. How long do I wait for DUD (Disney's Un-magical Depress)?-------5 minutes
3. I watch a Disney animated movie on the flight. Which?--------------Big Hero 6
Hint: Hadn't seen it before. Hint 2:Released this decade.
4. Connecting flight. Do I make it?----make it
5. How do you take your coffee?---------lots of cream (almost half cream and half coffee and 3 or 4 sugars

Bonus: Did you see it?----yes
You saw it? Yes?----I saw that too

Noted and... saw what???

 

[pkondz]

me please, need to beat Steppe!

You guys have a pretty good rivalry going there.

Yes! So stupid!

Shoulda stuck with your gut!

This one is correct

Want me to show you how to Google that one too?

Hmmmm?????

Which cool?

Either is fine.

Yeah, duh!!!

Perhaps a nice Snow White one? Or... Tink?

that sounds bad

It sounds horrible.

And What?

Need some help? Here's a link for ya:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=recalcitrant+definition

I say Kringle La.

I like it!

Or are you talking about the roller coaster?

Nope.

And I say again - Canadian Buffoon Diasppoints the English Ladies!!!
Why are they no longer on the DIS?

I think you answered your own question.

Of course your license plate should be Ponzi!

Okay, Carrie.

But... You'll see.

Yes, I saw the martian. Which reminds me, I have something to send you.

Noted. And... oh??

 

[pkondz]

Going to come back for a full reply, but for the license plate, how about MINE? Like, the Nemo bit, and also My Harley, My midlife crisis, or whatever other thing you need to lay claim to at any given moment.

Not bad Irene.. not bad!

You need a vacation! Now go get some good sleep and a lot of it!

Well.... gonna be hard right now.
I'm working the midnight right now.

Story of my life.

 

[pkondz]

Oh no. I've recently found a much better ... situation. Thanks though. Alison, Kelly, have at him.

Well, that's nice for you! What about me?!?!?

Oh, never mind. I'll just bother the pilot.
I hear she's hot.

What else does she have to do?

In the top of the page crowd... Nice. Sorry, I don't deliver on that front.

Actually, believe it or not... that was an absolute fluke!
I wasn't filling space with my numbers 3,2,1 I was counting down.
I posted "3" and waited 60 seconds. Then posted 2... 60 seconds... then 1.

Just a coincidence that the next post was at the top of the page.

 

[pkondz]

1. What time does the infernal alarm go off? 5:30 AM
2. How long do I wait for DUD (Disney's Un-magical Depress)? 10 minutes
3. I watch a Disney animated movie on the flight. Which? "Up" or "Wall-E"
Hint: Hadn't seen it before. Hint 2:Released this decade.
4. Connecting flight. Do I make it? yes
5. How do you take your coffee? with flavored creamer

Bonus: Did you see it? 1 - Anna and Elsa have some facial issues; 2 - above Lu

Noted and... noted!
What flavour of creamer??

Bonus: Bike plate ideas: MLCRS (short for Mid Life Crisis); CDBFN (short for Canadian Buffoon)

Not bad!

Loved the update and DISmeet!

Thanks! They were fun, if a tad stressful in the beginning.
Live and learn.

Sad that your trip is over.

Nah. It's only half over.

Okay, sad that my trip is over.

Now that I can understand!

I will be back later. I have a few days of vegging coming up postop. Stay warm, or at least try to stay warm.

And? How's the knee? How are you doing Tammie??

1. What time does the infernal alarm go off?

There's 2 possibilities for this one. I know which airline you always use, and which airport you would connect through. There are 2 flights per day that depart MCO and go to this airport (the one I avoid at all costs). You either take the early one, which means you wake up around 2am (flight time - 4 hours for DUD - time to wake up/finish packing). Or you take the mid-afternoon flight, meaning you wake up around 7am - giving you a few hours before DUD pickup.

You seem like a morning guy, I'll say 2am.

2. How long do I wait for DUD (Disney's Un-magical Depress)? 7 minutes
3. I watch a Disney animated movie on the flight. Which? Zootopia
Hint: Hadn't seen it before. Hint 2:Released this decade.
4. Connecting flight. Do I make it? Who knows, it's YYZ. I say yes though.
5. How do you take your coffee? With my nose scrunched up, saying "ew" as I dump it down the drain and grab a Pepsi.

Noted.
And you're just like me with the coffee.

Bonus: Did you see it?
You saw it? Yes?

Airlines, rail and snow removal too! You are one talented fellow, Mr. Pkondz.
It's good to know low level lighting does pick up aliens.

Weird how that works.

 

[pkondz]

YOU are actually admitting to being burnt out?!? pretty sure that means you passed burnt out at minimum 2 days ago! Sleep well and get that much needed rest!

Honest.... yeah. Pretty much.
I eventually got some rest.
Back on another midnight tonight.

 

[DaisyDuck001]

What flavour of creamer??

There are many that I like: pumpkin, amaretto, chocolate, macadamia, would like blueberry or banana too but can't seem to find those.

 

[mustinjourney]

Agh! Totally forgot.

Not much to tell, really.
Large blisters. Both feet.
Mole skin.... which when I took them off...


Took the skin off with them.

Lots of fun. Really.

What? No pictures?

 

[pkondz]

I do! I do! Yes, please! May I have some bonus points?

Well... since you're asking...

I like it!

Stupid 5 character rule!

Oh man, you're just trying to disqualify me right from the start, aren't you?

Actually, I thought of you when I thought this up.

No pressure...

Let me go back and check my detailed notes about your itinerary and see how I could have missed that!

Sooooo disappointed in you.

WHAT did you call me?!

If I used English, you'd just get mad.

I recognize this as the "how are people going to give me crap when they respond to the update?" edit. Always good to defuse the obvious insults.

I call it a pre-emptive strike.

Hey, my computer has a red line under one of them. Obviously wrong.

No it's because you're running it
at too high RPMs.

Better early than late! That's my creed.

Ditto.

I'm stunned that Disney hasn't figured out how to control the weather yet.

Actually, if anyone does.... it'll be them.

Sleep in on vacation? Never!

Ya got that right!!! Things to see! People to do!

Gesundheit.

It's like I don't even know who you are anymore.

Not overly appetizing?

I appreciate it--I haven't really seen much of the ride since it opened.

You're welcome for the crummy photos.

Great! Better than the alternative.

Yup.

Can you imagine waiting 2 hours for a ride that sucks?

Interesting! Reminds me of when I took the MK behind-the-scenes tour and they talked about how the rides went through the history of animatronics devices.

I remember that.

Gah! What in the heck is that???

Meet the new audio animatronics.

This sequel is going to be very dark.

And cold. Don't forget cold.

I agree! I mean, about the "you should be reading her TR" part. That's all. Promise. Scout's honor.

Uh, huh.
I know when I'm outclassed!

Hi! I'd like a table for me and my 9 imaginary friends, please.

Got a problem with that?
I have several imaginary friends
who have my back, ya know.

Well, dang. Sorry that didn't work out. Maybe Kris and I can meet up and commiserate.

Don't worry, they weren't expecting anything else.


I mean, uh, I'm sure you didn't bother them.

Still bugs me actually.

Tell me about it! I showed up right on time to ours!

I guess it's not just Disney princesses who fight over you!

Nope!

Wow! Very thoughtful!

It really was! I was really surprised.... and touched.
Go ahead and make fun of that if you wish,
but I really was.

Don't sell yourself short, Judge. You're a tremendous slouch.

These DIS people are pretty awesome.

Yes. Yes they are.

And you're pushy! A perfect pair!

Now that's good!

Also, Chips = Fries
Torch = Flashlight
Football = Some Much More Boring, Unwatchable Game

Yep. To all the above.

Works for me! I've always said presentation is overrated.

I wasn't complaining. Just happy to put it down.

If there's one thing that grinds my gears, it's people with a sense of entitlement. I mean all those people in front of you, of course.

Yeah! What's with that!
Let me through!!!

Whoa, let's not get too rash here.

Nope. They had it coming.

Scoundrel! Fast pass to IASW for you!

See????

Well, maybe she thought you had a helicopter in your back pocket.

Funny thing is, I usually do.
But it got stained red
and I was too embarrassed to bring it.

These unnecessary letters seem to be in conflict with that whole "no unnecessary word" policy.

Wll, th ltrntv s ths. wld mk txtng sr*



*Well, the alternative is this. Would make texting easier.

Is this heaven?

Of course. There's Dole Whip.

Clearly he did not say "okay" in the right way. Which he is supposed to figure out without anyone teaching him.

Yup. Law of the jungle.

Speaking of which...

Oh man, I had no idea! Now I have to ride it at night! Thanks for the tip!

... I was really (pleasantly) taken by surprise.

Never a good feeling.

Nope. Never.

8:00 a.m. You get to sleep in!

13 minutes.

I'll go with Zootopia.

Yes!

Cream and sugar. Lots of sugar. I admit it, not very manly.

Noted.

I did! Inviso-text on:

1. Surprised you're offering those services after all of your struggles getting yourself out of the driveway.
2. He's not just on your t-shirt at La Cava. Also over everyone's shoulder.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your inviso-text pen is out of ink.

Way to sell it!

Are you not intrigued?

So...normal week, then?

Yeah... pretty much.

Let me get my BB gun...

I'll have to come back with thoughts on the license plate.

Standing by...

 

[pkondz]

My idea for a license plate:

PONZI

Referencing a throwback to Happy Days--- Fonzi--- who was cool AND rode a motorcycle,
Plus, Nebo called you ponzi if I remember correctly, and in my mind I always say "Ponzi" when I see pkondz.

I'll be back...

It was Nebo who first called me Ponzi.
He still does.

Wanted to toss out my ideas for the plate before going to sleep...

Foreign for Crisis...
Italian is Crisi
French is Crise
(disclosure... Looked up the foreign spellings on the interwebs)
U4EA
(edit 2 add another 1) CRI6
My favorite so far though.... BADAZ

I threw those two out to the family.
They agreed that while the bike was BADAZ...
The rider most definitely wasn't.

But....

U4EA is so far my favourite.

 

[rndmr2]

Noted and... saw what???

Clever way to advertise your snow removal business

Marvin on the steps

 

[pkondz]

But, of course, you are always cool! But, possibly, sweaty.

This actually true.

Ack!

Indeed!

They most certainly do! At first I though you had photoshopped them!

Nope. Completely untouched.

Good plan. Just figure on those security searches...

I guess I'll just have to get used to it.

Been there, done that. How can I listen to your conversation if I need to make sure the rest of our group can find us?

Yup.
Won't make that mistake again.

1. Bigger place if it's a big group.
2. "I'll be at xxxx at this time. Show up or don't."

More generous if they hadn't had lots of extra snack credits! But, yes, very thoughtful.

Could've cashed them in for other stuff.
So yes, I thought it was nice of them.

I never would've guessed that one. And I suspect that if I'm actually feeling poorly, I'm probably not going to think of it, or want to have to explain it to anyone!

No, I suppose not.

"I'm pulley. Bring a bucket."

"You're what?"

"Pulley! Pulley! Bring me a.... <delicate interlude> ... nevermind."

Wouldn't it just be for TurNIPS / TurNEEPs?

You forgot the "new" part.

The horror!

I know!

The horror, again!

I know! Again!!

1. 3:15 am
2. 36 minutes - which would make my overall guess awesome!
3. Zootopia
4. Yes
5. Black

Noted.

Bonus - Yes, I saw that you are branching out and now providing snow removal service to more people than just your own crazy car!

I just can't get enough!

 

[Steppesister]

Everyone can chime in on that one.

I've PMd you some options. Consider those my submissions.

Can't go to a DISmeet all hot
and sweaty and gross, now, can I?

Well, you could....

Would you want me to?

And that depends. Maybe the other DISMeeter would be also? Then, it would be an equal proposition.

Shower or no shower.

Eventually, you're gonna need one. But that would take time away from your DISMeet in most circumstances.

Take your time! It's allllll good!
No. Please. I insist. Go ahead of me.

If we ever meet up there, I can guarantee there will be an altogether different dynamic going on here.

And if you get the accompanying cavity search,
it can be fun, too!

This... well... this does not sound fun. I'm starting to think you have a very warped sense of "fun".

Hello?

I'm almost positive that this was
@Steppesister 's suggestion.
But I could be wrong.
I almost always am.

Yes. Yes it was! In this case you are very right.

I would never have ordered this
without a strong recommendation.
pkondz is most definitely not
a fan of rice pudding.

Was it my Ode to Rice Cream that tipped the scale?

I'm pretty sure I ate it top down...
but maybe you're supposed to mix
the strawberry sauce into it? Like yogurt?

Well, whoever it was that suggested it,
let me know.

If I screwed it up, I'll give it another fair shot.

But in this case you are wrong.

Yes, a bit of strawberry with each bite. It's how it's done. You screwed up, so I insist you give it another shot.

Okay. I admit it.
I shamelessly stole this idea
from @Steppesister

No shame in sharing the best ideas. IMHO, La Cava is the prime location for DISMeets. BUTT...

I'm quickly changing my mind due to the fact that it's "been discovered" and almost too hard to get into now. Teetering on finding some new digs and making them the next place for the Kewl Kids to hang at. I'll let you know what I decide.

(and if you're not... why aren't you?
it's far better than this!!)

Spare me. The numbers say something very differently. I love all of my readers/friends dearly, and all are welcome. Some chapters are better than others, and I do my best to keep up.

There were people lined up
all the way up the stairs.
And there was a queue
also waiting outside La Cava.

This.

I tried on multiple occasions to get Margs from the carry out line as I had a few I wanted to try over the course of the trip. Only once was I able to get one without an hour wait. Not worth it.

"About an hour." The hostess said.

Too bad my trip wasn't before yours. I'd have shown you the proper technique for securing a table in 15 minutes.

But... it's a thing now.
I only wear it to DISmeets.

So, is this how I'll recognize you in March?

We sat down and ordered more drinks.

Pray tell, what did you have?

And... more?!

I'd like to say things went well, but....

...but you had... ^MORE drinks. Things don't tend to go "well" after more tequila.

I will say that I didn't have
nearly enough time
with everyone I met that day.

Never enough time for DISMeets.

Does it still look as appetizing?

It's in Disney. A can of Chef Boyardee in a bowl would look appetizing.

I tried the Taco de Camarón
(Battered Shrimp served over a Flour Tortilla
with Crispy Purple Cabbage and Chipotle Mayonnaise.)
It was okay.

Meh.

We choked it down and called it fair to middling.

Made me wait eleven minutes...

Welcome to mere humanity. Sucks down here, doesn't it?

"Oh, I'm sorry sir. They were at eight."

D'oh!

15-20 minute wait for HM?

I can do that.
One last ride on HM before going home?
Heck yes!

This is just not NOT done.

Trailing behind her
was her panic stricken husband.

"But I said okay! Honey! I said okay!"

And they marched out of sight.

My mind couldn't help but ponder what led to this unfortunate series of events.

She wanted a Dole Whip, he told her the credit card had been maxed out.

She wanted to ride IaSW, and he showed just a hint of hesitation.

Did he suggest they skip their ADR the next day at Le Cellier?

He said no to the $200 Dooney bag?

Everyone cracked up.

The better half of what makes a fun voyage.

1. What time does the infernal alarm go off?

I think the WestJet flight is at 0550 direct. That means an hmmm... 0130 alarm. I'm really hoping you got some sleep on the plane.


2. How long do I wait for DUD (Disney's Un-magical Depress)?

10 minutes. (I wish it was 30 minutes, so my overall guess would be even ballpark close.)

3. I watch a Disney animated movie on the flight. Which?
Hint: Hadn't seen it before. Hint 2:Released this decade.

Finding Dory (it was on our plane too a month after)

4. Connecting flight. Do I make it?

Yes.

5. How do you take your coffee?

Espresso latte. 1 tsp raw sugar, foamed 2%, with plenty of crema if pressed correctly.

Bonus: Did you see it?

Yes, by now you're an expert. On the bright side, Spring is coming and your day job should be lightening up some.
You saw it? Yes?

YEP! Both of them in fact. That little guy gets around, and I hope he's read my TR so he can get into The Ditch faster than you did.
