Dinner

Gołąbki and smoked Kielbasa

You can ask them to hold the lingon berries. That's what we always do.

I am guessing I’m the only one that likes Lingon Berries.

Not good. Not good at all.View attachment 370617

Try not to send it over here!

Nah... my ex husband did too... but he was 1/2 swedish, and 1/2 icelandic

I’m hopscotching between houses the past week and next. I’m am a caregiver for a bff’s rat dog and a young black lab with endless energy that is her sons dog. Being we are in a flood plains no full fencing is allowed so dog cables it is. I’ve cringed several times as the Lab running hit the end of her Cable

Ladies and Gentleman May I introduce

I’m Irish. Does that count?

LOL. not for Lingon Berries!

Yes, so hard to know where to start. DS got really ill after FoP. He doesn't get motion sickness in a car, he didn't have problems with the cruise we went on years ago, and he can do spinning rides without a problem. He thinks he has a problem with simulators and actually has no rides he feels he really needs to do at Uni. He is looking forward to seeing it, just to experience it because it will be different, and he is looking forward to Volcano Bay. Foodwise, there are some restaurants I want to go to and the prices are not crazy like at Disney. So far Margaritaville, Antojitos, Cowfish, possibly Toothsome, Mythos, maybe Hard Rock Cafe, The Today Cafe. The hotel you are staying at has a restaurant with a good menu.
@figmentfan423, is Mythos the only one I will need reservations for? Should I reserve it for Saturday which will be a busier day?

Sounds like my DD with FoP. She can ride everything except Mission Space at WDW

She read a Disney Blog Post and tried the Sea Bands available on Amazon for around $6. Also Target sells them

She had zero problems with FoP.

@StarWarsGirl have you tried the
Sea Bands?

 

[donaldtoo]

That's the one I don't like.

Same here.
Jar Jar Binks was beyond a joke, and that kid that played Anakin Skywalker was extremely annoying, among other things in that movie.
Glad I didn’t pay to see it in a theater.

Nope....I detest fruit in combination with meat. Give me broccoli, spinach, give me brussel sprouts, but don't try to combine fruit and meat. They just don't go together!

Cranberry and Turkey. PineApple and Ham. Pork Chops and Apple Sauce Lingon and Swedish Meatballs

They are always together in our house.

Ugh. So....I sent a message to my brother to remind him that fastpass day is approaching, and asking if he had made an account, or if he had any objection to me making an account and doing all our fastpasses together, and also asking if they were flying or driving, as he would need a reservation if he intended to use DME. He writes back that he has no answers for me because his husband lost his job (which he never told me) in December, so he's the sole earner for now, and they are having a hard time renting out the old house, so he's paying 2 mortgages, and they are trying to buy a restaurant, but that fell through and he's just not sure how they are getting there and who is coming, because his FIL can't get the time off approved from work, and his BIL just got a new job and might not get time off, and bla bla bla. This is typically the song and dance I get before he either cancels or tries to get me to pay for it. It will probably turn into "Gosh, I'm really sorry...We really do want to go, but we just can't afford it right now, so if you really want us to be there, you'll have to pay for such and such." Which I won't be paying for anything, and I just hope he doesn't wait until I can't cancel anymore and THEN tell me he can't make it.
Then my cousin hits me with "My dad wants to know if we can do a big family dinner like the one we did in South Dakota in 2016 on Sunday, July 21st." I sent them a list of restaurants where we were planning to make ADRs over a year ago and said to let me know if there were any they wanted to do together so I could make the reservation for the whole group. Then I sent several reminders throughout the year, including the week before I actually had to make the ADRS. I got no response. And then I sent them a list of all the ADRs we made so they could make their own if they wanted to join us after all.....I got no response. And first, it was the whole family coming, then her brother B was saying no, he wanted to go at Christmas, but brother M said he couldn't get time off at Christmas, so then it was just C and her fam and her dad and his GF. And then B was coming, but they were going to go the week before and then overlap by a day so they could see us, but C and her fam would stick around for a few days....and now she says has base tickets for the 18th-22nd, for all of them. So they are ALL coming, but we only have the one day together and they can only go to one park per day. I'm NOT canceling any of my ADRs....they had plenty of time to figure out if they wanted to go anywhere together. So I told her we had an ADR at Biergarten that day and I checked for reservations and there was a time that would accommodate her group 5 minutes before ours, so I told her we could see if we could add people to our reservation. That worked out, thank goodness, so I have a reservation for 23 people at Biergarten on that Sunday. I had made that reservation for that night on purpose because B is all about German food....Brats and such, and he hates Italian food/pizza, so I planned for Biergarten on our first Epcot day so they could eat with us if they wanted, and I planned Via Napoli for after they would be gone. Good thing I did that, or we'd have had a problem now they they suddenly decided we should do a dinner together!

I think I deserve a medal in trip planning. I am really excited to see them, and I really am glad we can do this together, but why didn't they say anything MONTHS ago when I asked?? I told them it was easier to reduce the number later than it would be to add people to an existing reservation. They are SOOOO lucky it was Biergarten and not something like 'Ohana or Be Our Guest, etc. I'd never have gotten an extra 13 people in this late at one of the harder to get ADRs. And I would have suggested breakfast or lunch outside the parks, but I also have a late breakfast ADR that morning for the Bon Voyage breakfast, hoping it would tide us over until dinner and we wouldn't need a lunch. There would be no way to get an extra 13 people in for that, and I am NOT canceling that to do something together when I carefully planned out my ADRs months in advance and gave them the option to join. So glad I didn't have to disappoint them. I did warn C that the 21st needs to be their Epcot Day, though, since they can't park hop. But since she's willing to do that so they can join us , it all works out. Now let's hope Biergarten doesn't disappoint them!

{{{hugs}}}

IMO. money in hand or paid by a few days before cancellation date or cancel them.

Hey, I've been there!... We held those cute turtle, and then promptly ate some turtle soup!

I’ve had turtle soup a few times (although not there ), and it was tasty...!!!!!

Wow.
I somehow missed this.
I’m just so tired of crazy people.

On the side note:
I really do miss Betty Rose so very much.
Such a feisty, funny, beautiful spirit of a lady.

Where are you reading this? In the rumor forum, the admin said she contacted her Disney media rep and they said it wasn't true.

Kenny alluded to EMH Night elimination over the weekend but held back he stated until he could confirm. So I guess we have conflicting sources.

Magic Kingdom will eliminate Evening Extra Magic Hours - KennythePirate.com
Recently, I was informed that the Magic Kingdom will eliminate Late Extra Magic hours for onsite guests. It caught me a bit off guard, so I wanted to to further research. According to what I’m seeing, it does appear to be true. Here’s the details: Switching Evening to Morning According to my sou...

I wouldn't be surprised though... I mean, they are making money on "after hours" parties, and it seems like they will lean towards that.

I looked at the October MK park hours when the rumored park hours were to end extra magic hours in the evening now that the month is fully posted.

It appears Kenny’s rumor was correct

She just decided to remain non-violent and just withhold info from him, because it wasn't worth the argument. She still got her way and he thinks he got his and all live happily ever after!
A small amount of deceit in a relationship helps keep the boat on an even keel. Example... If you can't change the subject when a wife asks if her butt looks big in those pants, then you say "What butt?" Imagine what would happen if you said... Yes, it looks big, but, it was big when you stuffed it in there. Imagine how long it would take to clean up the blood.

First, and for the record, my DWifey has never, ever asked me “Do these pants make my butt look big?” Why would a woman do that in real life...?!?!?! Movie/TV Bravo Sierra, perhaps...?!?!?! DWifey has never asked me that question in 34+ years of us being together, and I’m pretty sure it ain’t comin’ up anytime soon.
But, (and I’ve posted this before) I have always thought, if I was writing a comical movie, the lines would be...
A - “Do these pants make my butt look big?”
B- “No, actually your butt makes your butt look big!”...!!!!!

And, the next one...

A - “My eyes are up here!
B - “I know, but, those are down there...!!!!!
Again, it’s all relative.
DWifey and I just chuckle, as we’re old enough to get it all and not be offended...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Out for tonight gangage, and y’all be cool...!
Sweet dreamin’/mornin’ to one and all...!!!!!

On property maybe, haven't been to Frontera yet but in Orlando nope Antojitos edges La Cava out oh wait Margaritaville wasn't half bad either, bucket list uber and an Orlando margarita taste off

Yeah I was speaking to WDW. The new Margaritaville Resort is open just off Disney Propery. I’d like to try that on a short trip. Bongo is leaving Disney Springs and opening in Margaritaville
