The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

Never got into Star Trek until the latest movies. Never read comics but I love the Marvel movies starting with Guardians and then Capt America. Love Star Wars even the 3 hiccup movies. Doctor Who is the best though. However I do not try to watch episodes from the 60s. I'll probably laugh my head off.

I like both Star Wars and Star Trek, though I've been watching Star Trek since I was about 7 or 8 and only started watching Wars as a teenager, and I can tell you a heck of a lot more about Trek, but I've got far more SW stuff than Trek. I pretty much only have some of the films, whereas I have a good bit of SW stuff. I am currently wearing my "Judge me by my size, do you?" t-shirt from WDW. My ringtones are also SW. My main ringtone is the theme. If my dad calls, it plays Darth Vader's theme. Text tone is R2D2. I watched some Star Trek: TNG this morning. I like them both for different reasons.

My knowledge of Doctor Who comes from Big Bang Theory.

¡Damas y caballeros niños y niñas! El atracción de Frozen está llegando a Epcot y ahora tiene un nombre!
And in English that means that The Frozen ride is coming to Epcot and has a name!
Frozen: Ever After (honestly the name could've been more creative)

Great Pic's once again Betty.

The details in the chairs are the creative whimsical Disney I fell in love with. I'm starting to miss those details in some of the newer additions and rehabs.

While Casey's Corner does not have bad amenities it certainly came back from rehab lacking in Baseball Theme'ing
I was disappointed in what I saw at Casey's, it was mindless imagineering inside and out. The chairs that you posted is the Disney I love. Casey's looks more like they ordered chairs and tables in bulk from Amazon to furnish and ice cream parlor.

Yep, along with the original food, I miss the original theming, as well...




We did some serious munchin' in those bleachers...!

La atracción . Generally, "ción" words in Spanish are feminine.

And in English that means that The Frozen ride is coming to Epcot and has a name!
Frozen: Ever After (honestly the could've been more creative)

I love Frozen but am not that excited for this ride. I don't think it belongs in Epcot. I think it belongs in DHS or MK. It's one thing to have characters from a film based on Scandanavian culture in a meet and greet in Norway. It's entirely different to base an entire American fictional film on an attraction, place it in Norway, and call it Norwegian culture.

My dad quotes me this line on a regular basis.

For the most part I agree. I think that A frozen ride would have worked wonders using it's own brand new show building, and by puting it to the right of Ariel. that being said I think it is still a good idea to put Disney movie rides at a few pavilions in Epcot. Such as maybe an Aladdin ride for Morroco, or the Ratatouille ride from Paris to France (Pavilion) Or maybe a brand new (rainforest based) pavilion, and put a Tarzan coaster there posibly, but you get what I'm saying. The thing I disagree with is taking out a very good attraction to put in a still good ride, but not about the country's culture. So in other countries it works where they don't have to replace a ride, but not for Norway. Not to mention the name Frozen Ever After is just too generic.

I've never been to Disneyland. Some day I should go there. I'm glad you went though.

Yea, it's a place I think all Disney fans should get to at some point in their lives, if at all possible.
I'm lucky enough to have been 5 times. The last time I was there was for just one day in June of '10. DWifey and our youngest DD were in So Cal for a HS choir trip, and myself and DS flew out to meet them for the one day they were at DLR. The last time we were there was in '87, the same year Star Tours opened.
Didn't even make it to DCA and didn't really care (WoC was a week shy of soft openings, and Cars Land was still very much under construction).
I appreciated it more than I ever had before...!

Yep, I was out several years ago when Disney went to Chicken Dogs. If you are going to have a hot dog stand, let it be a hot dog stand. People travel from all areas of the globe, a chicken dog is not a fair representation of a hot dog. The Ice Cream Parlor decor isn't by any stretch a representation of USA Baseball. The New Casey's is just a giant miss on imagineering. Fixed what was not broken, again.

Great 'ole pictures.

 

[Gabe1]

Maybe you could send me some jk. It does look delicious though.

Ha!

We do vicariously share our food frequently on this thread. A common bond.

Good Night.

Dear Lord that food looked yummy!

I like the late night photo of the family straggling. How we are at night too.

LOL When my dh puts on of them in the smoker we're lucky to get 4 or 5 days worth of meat out of one and I don't eat meat I need somebody to swap food bills with any victims er volunteers?

We work strange hours here. I love to cook and have become very good at it but I have had to adjust to cooking good food that can be either eaten at a later time or is diverse like the pork that can be used in many different types of meals.

Last week when I was heading out of town I bought 2 chickens from Sam's Club and de-boned the meat and put in a ZipLock. Many ways to rework chicken meals. When I buy 5 pound of ground meat it becomes, sloppy joes, meatloaf (primetime meatloaf) spaghetti, chili and stuffed green pepper soup. Now I kinda move from meat group to meat group each week on a rotation.

Next week will likely be a very large eye of round roast. It will be a traditional beef dinner, then Mongolian Beef, Italian Roast Beef Sandwiches and if enough is left beef stew. I buy large cuts of meat at Sam's Club and then plan out what I will do with it all. It really helps keeping my meat costs under control. I use to cook 4 days a week but now with my DD working 2nd shift and weekends, we eat out less on weekends though I do see Lou Malnati's in our future this weekend even if it is take out.

I completely agree, the American Adventure is a priority of ours any time we go to Epcot. The Hall of Presidents on the other hand is another story...

American Adventure is a quality show and the preshow is excellent too downstairs. We always hit it for the quality and because there are far less options in the World Showcase to pick between and there isn't a wait. I can only watch those movies in the other pavilions every so often. I'd like to see something happen in Germany since they have the space built in. So many food and adult beverage options, shopping experiences galore, attractions are lacking in the WS.

 

[Daveeeeed]

Defiantly they need to either add an e-ticket between Morocco, and France and add either the Ratatouille Lps ride from Paris, or maybe make an Aladdin Lps ride for Morocco. Also either a new pavilion maybe Brazil Between Germany, and China (although that might not be possible in that location, because I've heard that it was firework space?) So anyway it could either be an add on hopefully a Rheine River cruise for Germany, or a brand new pavilion. And I could go on, and on about future world. A figment needs to have "merchandise" presence, but like Mickey Mouse should not have his own ride. Captain EO is tricky due to the show having being in DLP TDL and DL. Last,chug not least Ellen needs to be overhauled except keep the ride music plus are music

Such a long day! School is finally over for another year. YAY! We went to A&W to celebrate then went to a Cavs party this evening. (Even though I don't particularly care for basketball.) Now this weekend we are going to stay in Cleveland and will be going to the outside watch party for the next game.
