The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

Hello all, we are back in the room heavy rain rolling in tonight, out by the morning. We went to the Poly today, walked to the Grand Floridian and the monorail to Magic Kingdom. Ate at BOG then went to Epcot to see a couple shows, I got my margarita, and hubby got a cronut. Pictures to follow a little later. Out to have dinner and return to post.

What did you eat at BOG?

Skipping work. Well, I called out but I'm not going over the narrow hideous bridge in the heavy snow.

For the record, I did try to go but crashes all over the place.

A very smart decision! Be safe!

Thank you so much for sharing. I've already got the ice cream written into our list for my ds and I

Get the chocolate chip cookie too. So good!

What did you eat at BOG?

We shared the carved turkey sandwich, it was really good, with lots of turkey and fries, and I had the Masters Cupcake, and hubby had the Lemon. They were very good also. Too much icing, but after removing 1/2 of it the cake was flavorful and very moist.

THNX for the tip

You bet!

 

[betty rose]

I'm so glad you are having a great time. You deserve a fun trip!

Thanks we have been so surprised at how relaxed most people are and no pushing or shoving. Like the old days of Disney. We've seen a lot of strollers and ECV's, mostly people are being very respectful towards each other. The parks aren't over crowded either.

I'm really digging the pictures of your flowers today. I can't wait for warm weather and flowers again.

I love seeing flowers in winter too.

 

[betty rose]

Again, love the flowers. The margarita looks great. And is that a popcorn bucket I spy in the last picture? I could use some popcorn.

Yes, popcorn, it was really good too. We got coasters at the store near the haunted Mansion. Momento Mori.

Getting ready to leave, with wind chill it feels like 42 degrees now, the "high" 60 today with 30mph winds. Great day for animal kingdom that's on the agenda, and maybe a Mickey Pretzel, and Flame Tree BBQ, then Lion King. Good day all!

What is your opinion on the Grey Stuff? Me, it did nothing for me.

Did either of you get the Braised Pork? I will endure BOG just for the Braised Pork. As pretty as the restaurant is, it is just too busy and loud for my liking but the Braised Pork is really good for lunch.

The Braised Pork is the sole reason we are going there for a lunch. I originally didn't have it on my list because there's nothing really that DS will eat there, but I figured since it's QS, we will just get him something somewhere else, OR we'll give him snacks. I saw the menu and wasn't overly impressed, but the pictures I saw of that Braised Pork looked SO good, so we're going to go ahead and try it.

Good morning my house is in good shape not quite like yesterday but not bad at all. my dh tried to be helpful with planning last night. . We usually go to KSC on the way in but he thinks going there while we're at the condo or on our way home make more sense. He could have said something a week ago! He wants to be able to just wing it (except for a few must do ADRs at UNI) after our park days at Disney are done.

Well...I guess it's better to tell you now than when you are already there? My hubby tends to drive me nuts when I'm planning, because I'll say "I was thinking we should do such and such first, and then go here, because..." and he'll say yes, that's fine and then we're getting ready to go and he says "I thought we'd go here first and do this and...." and completely changes it because he doesn't remember talking about it and making a plan. Mostly I think he just isn't paying attention when I'm talking, he's thinking of something else, so he has no idea what he just agreed to and then he makes his own plan. I that's what he does with his mom, because she gets an idea in her head and decides that's what you're doing, so he just humors her and tells her yes, that's what he was planning and then does what he wants and ignores her. Like, she'll say "You really need to get DS some new shirts because he keeps chewing on the neck and they are all frayed there and don't look nice." And DH will say "Yep, we'll do that this week" and he has no intention of doing any such thing, but he knows there's no sense in arguing because she's got it in her head that that's what you should do and she won't let it go until you agree with her. So I think sometimes he employs the same tactic with me, when if he would just TELL me that he wants to do it a different way, it would probably be ok with me unless I had a very specific reason for wanting to do it the way I said. But at least with the Disney, he's pretty much left the planning to me because he knows I'm the one who has researched it to high heaven. Is KSC closer to your condo than to SOG?

Can someone turn the summer on already! I'm so tired of being cold!

 

[Songbird76]

again why does this not surprise me i was an angel in my youth

You mean you aren't an angel NOW?

 

[MOXOMUMD]

My flight to MCO leaves at 3:20 PM!

Have a wonderful time!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I can hardly wait for the complaints about how hot it is. There is no making people happy.

Bring it on!!!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Garden Grill is the restaurant of the land right?
I have to try that one too!

Yup, last time we were one of the last ADRs and had a lot of time with Pluto. Chip and Dale are there.

No they're almost the same distance. SOG is next to Poly and the condo is just off 192 about 5 minutes to Disney. Kennedy is about an hour from Disney due east. I thought Kennedy closed at 5 and it's actually 6 so it would be about 7pm when we would get to SOG. This only changes things a little bit. Instead of staying on 95S to KSC we'll get on I-4 straight to DTD. If any of that makes sense.
