I Can't, I'm Not Wearing a Princess Dress! - New TR link!!!!

[glennbo123]

I haven't been on a lot of rides at Universal so it's interesting to get your take on them. Too bad that some of them are retreads.

Sorry to read about your back troubles. I hope you didn't have any more issues during the trip. That stinks that you had to stand for an hour and a half. I'm sure that didn't help!

 

[afwdwfan]

Going all the way back to Illinois, just for some lunch, seems excessive.

Oh, no! There's a Springfield in every state! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield,_Florida

Sounds like one I'd like.
I don't particularly care for the "shake the kidneys loose" coasters.

I don't particularly care for them either, but I prefer them to um... well, half the rides at Universal.

Nope.

I actually could probably justify that wait for this one.

Nice! That right there pretty much sums up the argument in favour of getting the Express Pass.

Who is this Wanda, and why does she want to get you?

I don't know, but she's a beeyotch.

I wonder if they did that on purpose?
It would certainly fit.

Possibly! I mean if you have to renovate the entrance and exit areas anyway and can temporarily add a little bit to the theming of the building that is already in place...

Huh. I'm sorry I never got the chance to see that.

I can't say that you're really missing out, but it was a fun experience.

Sounds Dangerous with Drew Carey.

I'm not sure which is worse...

And it's wayyyy more inconvenient that way.
So... funny.

You know, I was probably through the line and back off the ride quicker than I could have walked to the lockers, waited for one, deposited my belongings and walked back over to the queue.

Hm. Not bad.

I'm thinking I really need to get to Uni, at least once.

Despite the frustrations and the things I didn't like about this trip, it is definitely worth seeing it at least once.

So that's what it's come to.

It's pretty ridiculous, though.
Metal detectors at the gates, fine.
But for the rides, too? Come on.

How about just post a sign saying guests are responsible for their own items and will be prosecuted and sued if anything falls out and injures someone.

Oh, right. Sorry. Heaven forbid making someone responsible for their own crap.

And this is the problem. Nobody wants to take responsibility for anything, especially themselves.

I'll admit. Never seen any.

I enjoy them as kind of a fun movie to just veg out and waste some time watching, but they're far from cinematic masterpieces.

Well... okay. You sold me. Next time I see one show up on TV, I'll watch.

I just hope it is the first one. Or the 4th one.

And that's just my problem. They were after my time. So no connection.

I get that.

Nice! Another ringing endorsement for the Express Pass.

Boring. Think of something new.

That's what I said!

Too bad. Especially since you were so looking forward to it.

Yeah, I should have known better.

Let me design it! I'll ensure that no one goes home without puking!

Well, I'm not sure you'll have to modify too much to get to that point.

Who?



JK. I do at least know that much.

That is pretty cool.
Wouldn't you want to borrow that costume for the next Halloween party you go to?

Or even just to wear when the kids come trick or treating...

Or every day?

Flying or driving?

Boating

Lard Lad. Sounds oh, so appetizing.

You and me both!

As long as it doesn't also have coconut, right?

Next you'll have to go through a metal detector just to go in and they won't let you in without a white cane.

I was expecting flood lights to come on or something at the very least.

Sounds like my kind of store.
We used to have a gag store that a friend and I would always go to when we were teens.
It sadly closed up and now the city is boring.

But... you didn't buy... anything???

Well, if I bought anything I'd have to stuff it in a locker to ride... well, anything.

So if you want to look at it that way, their policies discouraged me from spending any money in their park.

Nope.

It wasn't impossible to get around... but it wasn't easy either.

Okay! Okay! You've sold me!

Are you sure?

That's good. 'cause I don't think that Buzz is all that great to be honest.

I'm kind of the same way. I'll ride it once a trip and it is fun... but I also don't think I'd be too upset if I had to skip it.

Yeah, that could be a bit of a problem.

It sure didn't help!

Or not... considering your poor showing.

Wonder what it was like for the non-EP slobs?

Suckers... Probably about double. I don't remember if I noted the posted wait or not.

mmmmm.... scrambled eggs.

Bacon!

Haloween Horror Nights? I mean... two corpses...

Huh. Never thought of that. And you're absolutely right.

The first thought was how do you get the rights to an actual person?

I'm so sorry to hear that.
How much did you suffer, the next day?

Well, remember, I had chicken wings and sliders too. So I'm not sure where the bulk of the credit goes.

Because if you're going to drink alcohol, do it quickly.

Exactly!

Dang.

Gotta love booze to go.

That is one thing that I really like about CityWalk. You can grab a drink and take it with you. I think you can even take them into the parks... I know I've done it before, but I can't remember if it was approved or snuck...

I wonder if they'll ease off on the security requirements for CityWalk if attendance falls?

I don't know. And frankly, it would be hard to do because this is the single security checkpoint for CityWalk and both parks. Unless they'd want to make you go through security again to park hop, they don't really have much of a choice... and that would be bad for business for CityWalk as well if it discouraged park guests from coming out to have lunch at Margaritaville or Hard Rock.

I can see that.
But a free pat down?

Well, I guess it depends on the pat-tee.

Uh, huh. No pictures ever. Right?

Pretty much. Well, I did get one picture in the room.

Crap. Getting old doth sucketh.

It doth.

Oh, that should help!

Sure!

So that was you!
I don't know if I could do that with everyone in the room staring and pointing at you.

I hardly noticed.

Obviously. But this is not news.

You guys are on to me.

Thank goodness that's over!!

Yeah... time to relax...

1. 8:37
2. Eric, Lady Tremaine and... uh... Cindy.
3. Both sisters.
4. You were informed that there was a vehicle that had broken loose of its corral and dashed out of the restaurant. Sure enough, your truck was coasting in neutral towards an open pond and the waiting arms of some gators (reptiles, not college football players.) You chased after your truck and managed to get inside the cab and slam on the breaks just before it plunged into the water. Unfortunately, when you started the engine and put it in reverse, the truck refused to move. Several gators had clamped their jaws around the tires and front bumper and were inexorably pulling you in the opposite direction! Thankfully, as a former boy scout, you always come prepared and just happened to have some "gator-be-gone" powder in the glove box. You reached over, grabbed the powder and liberally sprinkled it out the window. Within moments, the gators had retreated into the water and you were free to leave. You drove back to the hotel, breathing a sigh of relief. Which was short lived when you remembered that you left your family over at the restaurant, and the gators wanted something to avenge their loss. (College football players, not the reptiles.) You drove back to the restaurant where your DD was in tears because she wanted to wear a princess dress and you left it in the truck. You didn't have the heart to tell her that some gators got a hold of her dress and were now wearing it (again... football players) so you drove to Disney Springs and bought her a new one at an incredibly inflated price which prevented you from buying that triple strength alcoholic beverage that you so desperately needed.

Got em.

But Eric? Is he steppin out on Ariel with Cindy or something?

Coming out of lurkdom to say hi, and that I'm really happy we visited US before they stayed metal detectors for the rides!

Hi! Welcome! I enjoy US, but I definitely liked it more about 5 or 10 years ago. I realize they're doing what they've done to limit their liability and provide a safe ride experience, but it just feels like overkill and it frustrated me to no end.

 

[afwdwfan]

This is about all the time I have for replies right now. But I just saw this story come up that seemed fitting to share. It's about the Harry Potter ride being tested at Universal Studios Hollywood.

http://news.yahoo.com/theres-serious-problem-universals-harry-003400443.html

 

[Leshaface]

I didn't know I could still play!

Questions for the next update:

1. DW’s flight was scheduled to arrive in Orlando at 8:17 am. What time did they land?
8:24 am

2. We had dinner Sunday night at (spoiler) 1900 PF. DD wanted nothing to do with 3 of the characters there. 10 points each if you can name the 3 characters she didn’t like.

Lady Tremaine, Drizella, Anastacia

3. There were 2 characters she loved seeing at 1900 PF. 10 points each if you can name them.

Cindy and Prince Charming

4. I had to (literally) run back out to the truck after we checked in for dinner but before we were seated. If you can guess why it is worth 50 points. Bonus points available for creative and entertaining answers even if you’re wrong.

You forgot DD's tiara!....That or you wanted to solidify your manhood before sitting down to a Princess meal and rock out to 'Bounce' by System of a Down with the windows up

 

[pkondz]

Oh, no! There's a Springfield in every state! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield,_Florida

I knew that... but I'm sending you back to IL.

I don't particularly care for them either, but I prefer them to um... well, half the rides at Universal.

Figured as much.

I don't know, but she's a beeyotch.

Hey! No asterisks!

Despite the frustrations and the things I didn't like about this trip, it is definitely worth seeing it at least once.

I think I wouldn't mind going even without riding a single ride.
Just look around, check out the shops....


Who am I kidding.
Gotta ride.

And this is the problem. Nobody wants to take responsibility for anything, especially themselves.

Unfortunately this is true. And it's someone else's fault.

I enjoy them as kind of a fun movie to just veg out and waste some time watching, but they're far from cinematic masterpieces.

Oh, I don't know about that. I did see that shot of Megan Fox you posted earlier.

I just hope it is the first one. Or the 4th one.

1st or 4th. Got it.

Well, I'm not sure you'll have to modify too much to get to that point.

As long as it doesn't also have coconut, right?

I was expecting flood lights to come on or something at the very least.

This just in: Universal Studios Florida sued by man who claims his eyesight was permanently damaged when bright flood lights were turned on and he refused to blink or look away for an hour.

Well, if I bought anything I'd have to stuff it in a locker to ride... well, anything.

So if you want to look at it that way, their policies discouraged me from spending any money in their park.

Good point.
But I thought you might make a list and pick stuff up on the way out.

Are you sure?

Maybe.

I'm kind of the same way. I'll ride it once a trip and it is fun... but I also don't think I'd be too upset if I had to skip it.

Yep.

Bacon!

This goes without saying.

The first thought was how do you get the rights to an actual person?

Just dig 'em up and ask 'em.

Well, remember, I had chicken wings and sliders too. So I'm not sure where the bulk of the credit goes.

It was BK.

Definitely BK.

I hardly noticed.

"Hardly"? So you can be... hmmm... private_oblivious

But Eric? Is he steppin out on Ariel with Cindy or something?

Whoops! Meant Charming. Not sure where Eric came in.

 

[afwdwfan]

Thought you’d save that one till last on the way out of the park to end on a high note.
That’s what I get for thinking; should know better than that.

Well, there's that line of thanking or "Thank God!!! I've finally something I know I'll love! Outta my way, I'm ready to ride!!"

You know that it’s not the belt buckle…
It’s that tracking device that the Shadow Government had one of its operatives plant on you.

That's what it is...

That’s one way to “plus” the experience I suppose.

Hey, if you have to do demolition at least keep it with the theming!

No argument here…

That's rare.

<<cue pensive piano music>>
Thank you… Universal Creative Design Team…
For developing yet another video screen driven ride experience that promises to rocket you through the streets—and skies—of a major city, from the deepest subway tunnels to the tallest skyscrapers, encountering colorful characters, famous landmarks and anything else imaginable…

…because neither Spiderman nor Transformers does an adequate job of accomplishing that task.

Sounds accurate.

No kidding!
I had no idea that was a rollercoaster.

Since when do they put those things in a building???

I find the seating to be a mite uncomfortable, but it is a good indoor mine-train type coaster.

Yeah. But then again, how many rollercoasters have "comfortable" seats?

Seems you’ve got you priorities in order here.

I'd like to think so! And metal detectors are pretty darn low in priority.

The Mummy was having an off day.
Next time, he’ll get you.

He never even got my hat.

You know, back when you could actually wear a hat on the ride.

You have had to wait a while to get on this one.

I’ll take your word for it.

Really? Since when do you listen to me?

And that’s the secret to the lack of appeal for me.
I was long past caring about such when they arrived on the scene.

I had no doubt in my mind that you were way too old for Transformers.

That pass does seem to have been worth every penny for you on this trip.

It worked out well.

Or at least a Disco Yeti

I appreciate the broken yeti all the more after this experience. At least Disney tries to do something different and spectacular!

Which also seems rather out of place among the rest of the area it’s plopped down in the middle of.

Good point.

A bit of redemption.
I figured it would’a been Optimus, but I knew that was the kind of character interaction that would catch your fancy.

Well, I'd have loved watching whoever was out at the time, I'm sure.

Too bad that express pass don’t work for grub acquisition in the same way it works for bone jarring slide show presentations.

That would have been nice!

I did not know that…
will have to add that fact to your list of weaknesses for future reference.

Unless the other options are chocolate, bacon, or steak... apple probably wins.

This seems to be the general concessions and a potential argument for seeing only one of the parks if I get back down there (especially if Hulk is not yet completed its restoration).

The only thing that would be worth considering would be the ride on Hogwarts Express between parks.

But then again, that's a pretty dang expensive train ticket.

Surprised they didn’t have you empty you pockets into a locker before letting you in.

You and me both!

They have those in most shopping malls down this way.
A place called: Spencer’s.

Touche

Certainly DisDad worthy.

Whoa…
looks like MK during the week between Christmas and New Year’s.

That’s what she…

Oh never mind; too easy.

And again…

Nope… That one is more Old School.
DW still has to close her eyes about halfway through it but it doesn’t try to put you in traction.

Yeah... it's more along the lines of the old Star Tours... pretty simple but not terribly jerky.

No line is good.
And at least you have a pretty clear idea what you’re getting.

I haven’t tried the Krusty Burger either so I can’t compare ‘em.

Sadly, neither can I!

Those were the days.

And proof that not only am I old…
But you’re catching up.

I'll never catch you.

In a drunken stupor?

No, that's how we started the day!

Semantics!

Both sad and fortuitous…
No reliving of a long past and never again to be regained youth, but then again, no opportunity to find one’s self sleeping on the floor in the drunk-tank.

What? Who's reliving their youth. Those are some damn good hurricanes and I just wanted to have one.

Now if I was reliving that particular trip, you could replace the word one with... well, a significantly larger number.

When you buy a hurricane there in the bar, and not at the To Go window, they give you the glass to keep. Or at least they did back then. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many Pat O'Briens hurricane glasses we have around our house.

Isn’t that everyone’s idea of the perfect night on the town?

Maybe yours...

A bit like hiking all the way from the back of the WS up to the monorail.
That’s a right large convention center.

A place that big and there wasn’t enough seating?
It’s not like they had no idea as to how many folks were scheduled to be showing up.

Ok, well they had plenty of seating for the general sessions and the smaller sessions during the conference. This was kind of a thrown together event in the back of the trade show. They had a stage with some chairs around it on all sides and then standing room behind the chairs. It wasn't exactly set up for everyone to be able to come in and have a seat.

That’s unfortunate.

Yeah, you probably had them remove half the chairs.

Well, we already know you’re shameless, but they’re the ones that under estimated the room capacity and overestimated the concessions. You should’a gone back for thirds.

I'm surprised I didn't to tell the truth.

Let’s see here…
DW: kids, luggage, airport, 3AM?
Andy: a day at US and unlimited sliders…

Son, you’re gonn’a be paying dearly for that one.

Nah... I already had the luggage, she only had to bring one kid and she wouldn't even have had a chance to go if I weren't on the committee that got us down there.

Divine retribution?

No. Just an afternoon in central Florida.

Similar outcome for our local cats.
Except they chocked a few weeks later.

But both made it farther than the Colts.

Mercifully, if I remember the highlights from the end of that game.

I don't know... I'm not really a Bengals fan so I'd have probably enjoyed the chippiness.

Well, with nothing to really go on here, I’ll just toss out some random wrong answers….

If there's anything you're good at, it is being wrong!

8:20

Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, Charming

Cinderella, Drizzela

Some other disgruntled guest at Universal the other day got bent out’a shape when you smugly passed them by in the queues with that magical express pass of yours. So, out of sheer spite, he maliciously slipped a double dose of U-No-Poo into that apple fritter you got while all the time grumbling under his breath: “pass me by will you, well now I’m going to make sure you won’t be passing anything else for good long while, Bucko”. The effects of this tourist terrorist’s diabolical sabotage had taken full effect and become an intolerable problem by the time you got to the GF and you found yourself compelled to make an emergency “run for the boarder” as a possible emergency antidote. Otherwise, you’d be forced to go back though the expense and endless wandings required to get back over to the Weasley’s shop for the actual cure.

Either that it was time for this TR’s excellent title to make its highly anticipated appearance.

Got em!

 

[afwdwfan]

I haven't been on a lot of rides at Universal so it's interesting to get your take on them. Too bad that some of them are retreads.

They do some great things, but there's just a lot of things that they could really do a little bit better.

Sorry to read about your back troubles. I hope you didn't have any more issues during the trip. That stinks that you had to stand for an hour and a half. I'm sure that didn't help!

I tend to have back or knee problems quite frequently. The way it was tightening up on me that evening I really feared the worst.

I didn't know I could still play!

Well, yeah! Anybody can join late. I'll give bonus points to help out, but I just didn't know why you kept asking for points when you didn't even try to earn any!!!

Hey! No asterisks!

It's all in the spelling. Until the mods decide they don't like it.

I think I wouldn't mind going even without riding a single ride.
Just look around, check out the shops....


Who am I kidding.
Gotta ride.

Unfortunately this is true. And it's someone else's fault.

I blame @GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes

Oh, I don't know about that. I did see that shot of Megan Fox you posted earlier.

Oh, you mean this one...

Right?

1st or 4th. Got it.

First is the best. 2 is a step down, 3 sucks and doesn't have Megan Fox. But 4 starts a new story line that is absent Shia Leboeuf. I liked the new direction.

Good point.
But I thought you might make a list and pick stuff up on the way out.

I considered it, but there just wasn't enough time

It was BK.

Definitely BK.

Whoops! Meant Charming. Not sure where Eric came in.

Yeah, you're trying to get him out of the picture, aren't you?

 

[pkondz]

Oh, you mean this one...

Right?

I'm not sure. Post it again just to be safe.

Yeah, you're trying to get him out of the picture, aren't you

Who, me?

So sorry your Universal visit was not what you were expecting. It seems as though you really enjoyed your Harry Potter time though. I am taking notes for when we go in a couple of years. I'm definitely waiting until we are out of diapers. I can't believe how far your hotel room was! That's tough on tired legs at the end of the day.

Questions for the next update:

1. DW’s flight was scheduled to arrive in Orlando at 8:17 am. What time did they land?

2. We had dinner Sunday night at (spoiler) 1900 PF. DD wanted nothing to do with 3 of the characters there. 10 points each if you can name the 3 characters she didn’t like.

3. There were 2 characters she loved seeing at 1900 PF. 10 points each if you can name them.

4. I had to (literally) run back out to the truck after we checked in for dinner but before we were seated. If you can guess why it is worth 50 points. Bonus points available for creative and entertaining answers even if you’re wrong.

1. 8:14 (Tail winds like nothing you've ever flown before!)
2. Drizella, Anastasia, Prince Charming
3. Lady Tremaine, Cinderella
4. You forgot her autograph book!!!!!!

 

[MissMaryQC]

Oh sorry... I hope I didn't spoil anything.

Please don't apologize! On the contrary; knowing the theming and stuff is really cool means I might actually make it there some day. Universal isn't really my favorite, but reading about what a great job they've done makes it much more appealing!

 

[afwdwfan]

I'm not sure. Post it again just to be safe.

If you insist

It wasn't horrible... although parts of the day definitely were. I'm still glad I got a chance to go though, for sure. I just don't think it is something I'll try to do every time we go to Disney World like I've always tried to fit it in in the past.

That walk really surprised me. I thought it was going to be way closer than that.

Whew... and the theming is pretty awesome. I don't feel like Disney has anything on par with it... yet.

 

[afwdwfan]

I just wanted to pop in to let you all know that again, I'm behind on writing the next update. I've had no time to work on it this week, and quite frankly this month is shaping up to be a little crazy. I usually like to post one update per week, but I might be closer to one every 2 weeks for a while.

I do want to share one bit of news, we had a Dr. appointment yesterday, and while things aren't any better regarding our situation, we did get another potential problem ruled out and we left feeling somewhat optimistic. Again, we appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

I don't know why I'm even trying, but *sigh* here we go...

1. 8:10am

2. Prince Charming (because really, who cares about him anyway?), Lady Tremaine, and Anastasia

3. Cinderella and Drizella

4. You realized you had the wrong shoes with your princess dress? I'm thinking it has to do with your title, so I'm guessing this is when it was uttered and you went back out to get one from the suitcase

 

[afwdwfan]

I don't know why I'm even trying, but *sigh* here we go...

There's a long way to go and plenty of points to earn. This last round was a big point round and there will be a few more of those once we get to Disney World.

[franandaj]

Just after we got home, I got a fraud alert that it was used for a $200 purchase at a grocery store in Florida.

Was it a chip card? If so do you have a shielding wallet or the little sleeves to protect it? It wouldn't surprise me if people were trolling the area there for credit card fraud.

Wow! I'm glad they're bringing it back! You haven't burned up all of your GCH points have you?

As soon as I heard I checked availability and the VGC was completely booked. This year. I actually have like 60 or so points that I plan to bank for next year. I really can't stay over night this year as we are talking 11 nights in March and then 11 nights starting April 27. However, you better bet that I'm going to book every weekend in April for next year!

Hmm, interesting. It seems for the most part that it was just fireworks in the movies. At least that's what I remember

In the books they were selling their wares for years to the students at Hogwarts before they actually opened their joke shop. They had a ton of really funny joke things.

Ah, yes, the Strawberry soup discussion.

I'm interested to hear what your family thought.

Cincinnati Bengals... football. NFL playoffs. And I'm not a Bengals fan, but football was on TV, so I might as well watch.

Sports.

I'd like to shoot for 10K. The fact that I work in an office and I'm chained to a desk usually keeps me below 5K. When I can get outside and work though I tend to go from one extreme to the other.

I need to get me another fit bit or something. I'm sure you get higher than 5K, otherwise I don't know how you can handle those 20K+ days!

 

[afwdwfan]

Was it a chip card? If so do you have a shielding wallet or the little sleeves to protect it? It wouldn't surprise me if people were trolling the area there for credit card fraud.

Well... yes, it was. Those chips were put in to make the cards more secure... right???

Awesome! I'm jealous.

I need to get me another fit bit or something. I'm sure you get higher than 5K, otherwise I don't know how you can handle those 20K+ days!

Well, actually I just looked and I've had 2 days this week under 3K steps. That's what stinks. I'm stuck sitting at a desk all day at work, yet when I get home I still feel exhausted and don't want to do much.

 

[MissMaryQC]

I'm glad you are optimistic! Still thinking of you and your family, wishing you all the very best.

No worries. I know how things can get. I'd never be able to keep updates going if I hadn't finished writing a month ago.

I do want to share one bit of news, we had a Dr. appointment yesterday, and while things aren't any better regarding our situation, we did get another potential problem ruled out and we left feeling somewhat optimistic. Again, we appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

At least you had a bit of good news. I hope everything goes as well as possible. Your family is in my thoughts.

I do want to share one bit of news, we had a Dr. appointment yesterday, and while things aren't any better regarding our situation, we did get another potential problem ruled out and we left feeling somewhat optimistic. Again, we appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

We'll take any good news we can get! Hope things continue on that trend.
