A Spirited Perfect Ten

[Cesar R M]

Do you know there are folks, some on this very forum, who don't think Disney has enough timeshares yet?

Really.

Happily, Disney is going to milk that cow until they're pulling on air.

I wonder how much they can transform into DVC before the hotel stuff collapses?
80% of the rooms? 90%?

You're leaving just in time. Someone started a WalMart thread.

why on Earth would they do that?

 

[Cesar R M]

That's not what they are called @Cesar R M. They are called abdominals. That's what gets my attention.

@Figments Friend all due respect to you, but I just don't get the passion for this character and his hirsute friend.

I'm talking about CARS!!!!

We'll see - tight schedule. The house I rented for us is sick. Gates, upscale in Davenport. Exceeded expectations. We may just stay in and have our cocktails drink in the pool at night and all day Sunday. We will see - maybe TS tomorrow night.

The only disappointment today was having to deplane 10 minutes after we boarded for " a weird smell our crew needs to investigate" that set us back an hour and that for our finale meal on Sunday night, my uncle wants to take out all of us out for "Florida Seafood"....

(((Wait for it....))))

...at Red Lobster.
He insists. (((Shudder)))

was weird smell of batteries? or of someone smoking certain green herb in the bathrooms?

Your GPS is insane.

You take the south exit onto 417, that to I-4. Exit after World Drive is Davenport. 20 minutes max.

Could be worse..
Reminds me when the Iphone's GPS system could locate the place you wanted.. in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico (or in the pacific ocean)

I almost had the opportunity to meet Tony. I was in Orlando at the same time he went to Diagon Alley but I was in Disney. If only he went a day earlier when I was at Uni too.........

I was one bench behind Tony on Forbidden Journey. Walked the queue with him. He was slightly impressed. To say the least.

For reals why start a new thread??? Why not throw it in here with all the red lobster/adventureland/gps/DHS/weed smoking/DVC/Epcot/MK chat. I mean I love when spirit starts a new thread but I cannot believe how ridiculous they become. I don't mean to you guys off but my god do we really always have to have ONE thread with all the info and chit chat in it? Sheesh!

Good morning WDW Magic Forum Sunshines! My 5:30 am view - sunrise in the pool.

I swear I will move here someday so I can start everyday like this.

We never found out!
People asked but Southwest was not forthcoming with the info.

 

[Flippin'Flounder]

@ItlngrlBella In New Smyrna there is an amazing restaurant called The Garlic. If you do get to Daytona there is a great BBQ called Hog Heavan and good seafood at Boondocks.

SDL is getting TWO Pooh-themed rides. One is the Hunny Pots (think Mad Tea Party themed to Pooh's hunny!). The other is a dark ride that I'm guessing is very similar to what was opened at MK last century and copied for HKDL in 2005.

Indeed it looks to be.

This is not the only thread with all the info in it.

Of course, it would help to know what info you're looking for...

But what was his opinion of SSE and LWTL? (Serious question, since those are really the main elements of "old EPCOT Center" left)

Just asked. SSE "pretty cool." Didn't do LWTL.

My uncle is up there, on oxygen and refuses to travel more than 10 miles from Deltona. We're limited to the land of chain restaurants. I'm a foodie and I'm in hell.

Couple obscure but decent places in DeLand if you use Google Fu. Karlings very good, but on the far side of town. "The Enchanted Garden" or something on New York Avenue is supposed to be world class, not sure on the name. For basic but still good bar food, Frank & Bill's Brickhouse downtown.

Also, not sure if they have food, but Sinatra's, in the Artesan hotel downtown, is a piano bar run by the piano player from the Grand Floridian. If there is a restaurant attached to it, I would take it on faith it's worth visiting.

Also, a lot in downtown Sanford these days, just over the bridge from Deltona. I've heard great things about a German place there, Willow Tree maybe? First Street very managable.

Keep your fingers crossed! Ha ms for the suggestions! We will be using everyone's suggestions today! Let's hope one sticks! I think the place my Dad used to go to in south Daytona Beach was Oceandocks?

The Ocean Deck. Overrated.

In that general area, Aunt Catfish's in Port Orange used to be very good. Been years tho.
