My excursion through the flaming ruins was full of high drama as it always it. The pirates never seem to get the mayor to actually drown, the women never catch their men, and the prisoners are still trying to grasp the key to life. It's like a daytime drama called As the World Burns.
This is my new favourite thing!
Ask her what she sees.” I did, and she told me all about the Hidden Pascal Game. Well!!! That was perfect!!! I LOVE the Disney scavenger hunts around the properties and this was a brilliant way to use up the 30 minutes I had until my FP for HM, so I spent the next while finding 7 of the supposed 10 Pascals around the Tangled Tinkle Area. For those of you who don’t know about this cute little game, there are “10” (rumor is there are 10, but most websites/blogs I’ve looked at since returning show 7 or so in photos- the same number I found) camouflaged Pascals in the landscaping, on trees, lightposts, flowerboxes, etc.. Some are majorly hard!
Some ARE majorly hard! How fun that you got the chance to give it a try. You found a lot of them!
****SPOILER ALERT!!! IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS NEXT TIME YOU'RE THERE, SCROLL PAST!!!!!!****
I did scroll. I'm still looking for many of them and don't wanna cheat just yet.
Tiffins was too spendy this time around for Mom, but I knew we’d all want a sit down meal with air conditioning. I came close and found conditioned air. See?
This is always a nice choice for when Tiffins is too spendy.
Jenn ordered the Ahi Nachos. When it arrived, I think all 4 of us had a paroxysm at the size of it. It was enormous and I thought for SURE we’d not even make a small dent in it!
This is massive!! It's what Nathan likes to order, as well. And it's an entire meal in itself, and a very large one at that. I think the only thing that makes it slightly more manageable is that there's a fair portion of greens, which shrinks down after eating to take up less stomach space.
About the time we got our food, I turned around and noticed a lady and her 2 grown kids had stolen my other table and found a choice word in jest for them. I had literally just joked to the girls at my table, “XX stole my table!!!!” and I’m not even exaggerating, 2 seconds later, I realized …
IT WAS KELLY!!! @cinderkelly
This is hilarious!!
At some point, I made a comment that I loved the raw/seared ahi in the nachos and Jenn chimed in saying, “I don’t think so, I don’t do raw fish! I wouldn’t have ordered it if I thought so!”. “Ummm, that’s what seared ahi is, Jenn! LOL!”
That's definitely what seared ahi tuna is. But good that she enjoyed it! First stop, ahi nachos...soon enough, Jenn will be eating raw sushi like a pro!
Would I hurry back to Yuck and Yeti? Probably not as I've done it 3 times now and I have loads of other places on my radar. I know it's more expensive, but I think I'd head to Jiko again before I'd do Y&Y again.
Fair review! We do enjoy it, but don't feel like it's a Must Do every trip.
First off, I hate the new (far fewer!) color choices. I liked my trademark blue.
I'm not a fan either. Having a bit of trouble adjusting to the new Dis, to be honest. But I may have taken a screenshot of an old TR post on my own thread and checked the HEX code on a website in order to be able to keep close to the same colour. I'm sure there are much easier ways to do it, but that's the weird roundabout way I did it and now I have it.
It wasn’t long before it became apparent that Mom was indeed going to pass out, so a few of us eased her to the ground. She came around fairly quickly, and by the time she did, the EMTs showed up. THEY ARE FAST!!! Then again, all sense of time was lost on me and I have no idea how much time had passed by now. None. @disneyAndi14 , one of the other EPIC Nurses was also nearby and lent a professional hand as well. A collaborative effort is always better in circumstances like that!
Oh my goodness, scary indeed! I'm so glad that she was okay. If anything were to happen to me, medically, on a Disney trip though, I'd want it to be on that EPIC trip with all the Dis nurses who were in attendance! It sounds like she was well taken care of, between the EMTs and all the kind and knowledgeable friends.
in the end we speculated that a recent change of her blood pressure meds, combined with the oppressive Florida heat and humiditiy she isn’t used to, the cocktail she had, the excitement and lack of rest created a perfect $hit$torm that led to the Great Monorail Platform Spectacle of 2019.
This makes sense. But still scary! I have yet to pass out on a Disney trip *knock on wood!* but I feel I've come pretty close before on a really hot and humid day. Again, so glad she was okay.
I never spent very long in AoD, but one display caught my attention: A Thomas Kincaid Galleries collection with some small gallery-wrapped canvas works- not original paintings, but they sure look and feel real.
Beautiful! I love Thomas Kincaid. I have a calendar with images of his Disney paintings. We would love to buy a canvas or two someday! I really like the one you picked, too!
I like and identify with a lot of characters depending on my mood at the time, ranging from Sleeping Beauty every Monday morning, to Winnie the Pooh on Taco Tuesdays, to Ursula when my phone flips the camera to selfie accidently.
I thanked him profusely, then the CM snapped a few photos to commemorate the occasion. It was a BLAST!!
What an amazing experience! Totally worth the investment.
