I'm all about the details and theming but have been known to chat people's ears off at times so both???Surf the net or Disney App? Look for details in the theming? Talk with each other? Something else?
Gorgeous!Sausage McMuffin somewhat enjoyed, we gathered in the lobby of the Grand Californian. While the others loitered, I took the opportunity to make a circuit and found a delicious display of Craftsman and Art and Crafts décor that I wished I could have taken home. Instead, I made do with a few photos of my favorite scenes.
It would be fun!We’d all thrown in a vote or two for the attractions that were must-do’s and up first was BTMRR. I always love trying to get a photo or two of an new angle for me and came up with these this time around. I got to thinking about the prospects of a real Big Thunder Saloon where you could go and have a stiff drink (buahahahaha who am I kidding and don’t get me started!) or sarsaparilla and have streetmosphere pop in, rob the place, interact, do a song or dance, etc… I dunno, sounds like a fun idea to me. Not really a dinner show like Hoop, but more come and go, casual style.
Haha!!I’m not sure why we back-tracked, but after hanging out with Jack, Sally and Oogie, we zipped over to Splash where we Doo-Dah’d in our Laughing place. I’m glad they added the Dah part or there’d be lots of ChunkyDumping. Alison didn’t want to ride and she was smart. I don’t remember about anyone else, but Kari and I who rode in the front were SOAKED and I don’t mean like after-a-Florida-downpour soaked, I mean soaked like I-swam-in-the-Pop-pool-with-my-clothes-on soaked. The good news is that the weather was warm enough to dry us out fairly quickly and I had IBS (Itchy Butt Syndrome) only for most of the rest of day. You know what that is; that thing you get when your underwear are wet and it makes your butt cheeks itchy. Which goes to prove I don’t ALWAYS forget my underwear on trips.
I hope you get to achieve that too and I am sure you will.Even though we’d all ridden the Millennium Falcon before, Kari and I for the first time just the day before, we decided to head there and fill a cabin. Everyone else had had a chance to be the pilots, so we took our turn at crashing and burning ad nauseum for an entire ride cycle. Stressful does not even begin to describe it, and well, I guess it was fun, but yeah, I suck at that sort of thing. Maybe after a few more turns at it, I’d get the hang of it, but let’s just say guiding a Cessna on straight and level is a LOT easier. Speaking of which, I really hope to get back to my Pilot’s license quest sometime soon. Time is marching on…
Ugh, no sleep is the worst! Hope the doctor has answers for you soon!Indiana Jones was next up and I’d forgotten how fun that ride is. Bumpy and jerky, yes, but nicely themed and unique. My neck fared okay, and I didn’t have be in traction afterwards. It seems to be the everyday normal living that makes it scream these days. On a side note, I have a call into the surgeon for reals. We’ll see what he says this time around. But sleep would sure be nice.
I love the movies and would really like to try out the ride when I finally make it out to DL. It would be a very boring world if we all felt the same way about things, wouldn't it?Our last ride of the day was Guardians and I think Su-Lynn almost had a legit ChunkyDump on it. She was reticent in the first place and riding it cemented her opinion. I, on the other hand, adore the drops and scream like a little girl the whole time. I still like the theming of ToT much better, but they’ve done a good job with it even still. There’s a lot to see in there, and while that’s fun, a lot goes over my head because I am just not a fan of the movies and have only seen the first one once. Sorry, just not super into it. Sure, I enjoyed it, but just not memorable for me. Do I want a Baby Groot? Sure, everyone on the planet does. Is Rocket funny? Of course! Beyond that, I couldn’t even tell you the plot. Sorry, I know I just fell to a new low on most of y’all’s opinion, but there you have it.
How lovely!! I hope you have a fabulous weekend with your friend.And with that, our weekend was over. I’ll leave off with a ChunkyDump adieu until next time. Believe it or not, I’m headed back tomorrow... SURPRISE!!!!! My very good friend, Magdalene (@Flossbolna ) is in California and this weekend has been planned for months, possibly even almost a year, I can’t wait to see her and Michael, and of course, Fran and Alison. There is very little planned, so I imagine lots of catching up and quiet visiting. I haven’t seen her since 2010 when we flew back from Crapistan stopping in Nuremberg. So, that means more stories, but I’m anxious to get the WDW portion started for sure. That my friends, will start very soon, so stay tuned…. It’s coming… promise!
