[jenny105]

Wow, that's crazy! I'm glad there were no people on it at the time! That would be super scary.

[disney honeymooners]

yeah they would have been hurt really bad if anyone had been on it. Well i have read my birbaums guide now i am even more ready to go and there were a couple of things i learned it was about some of the new resteraunts. I really wish the TRex one was on the dining plan the pictures of its food on one of the boards makes me want to eat there.

[jenny105]

The TRex restaurant is fab! It's the same people that own Rainforest but the food is better. If you get a chance to stop by, you should. I know it's not on the dining plan but stop in for an appetizer or dessert at least!
We're getting in another shipment of the Birnbaum DCL books next week so I'll try to snag one and send you a copy!

[disney honeymooners]

We may have to stop by there when we eat at planet hollywood and get some dessert there is always room for dessert. Thank you so much if you dont have any extra ones it is ok

[jenny105]

They have this HUGE dessert, its these ridiculously big pieces of brownie, leaning against each other so it's shaped like a volcano. Then there's ice cream piled in the middle to look like its erupting and sparklers around it. We wanted to get it but it's so big and we were so stuffed, there was no way. It's a meal in itself!

[disney honeymooners]

I don't like chocolate that much but it really sounds good i told my DFi about it and he said we may have to stop in and have one even if it is togo (if they have it) and we have to take it back to the room and eat it later that night. I am so gonna be sick when we get back but i usually am whenever we go to disney no matter how much i try to restrain myself from overeating it never works but its a vacation and its my honeymoon so i am allowed to overeat. I am gonna be so ready for the trip by the time it gets here trying to get all of our info together, planning the wedding, trying to find a house, and getting all the clothes that we need for the trip. I am gonna need the trip along with a big DRINK!!!!

[jenny105]

I'll meet you on the pool deck for a big drink! How about a strawberry margarita?

I tried to find a picture of that dessert but had no luck! It's called the Chocolate Extinction. I think I may take my own advice and stop in there for dessert!

[disney honeymooners]

we will def. need to meet on the pool deck and have a drink, unfortunatly i can't handle margaritas (atleast my body doesn't like tequila) i had one at epcot and i was in pain the rest of the day i guess my body prefers vodka and rum so i will see if they can make me a goombay smash ( coconut rum, dark rum, clear rum, and pineapple juice) it is a drink my aunt found while they were in the bahamas on their boat and i have loved it ever since but it is never on any drink menu i always have to ask them to make it special. i found the menu for the TRex reseraunt and i saw the dessert and we will most def stop by there and get one.

[jenny105]

That drink sounds good to me! Anything involving pineapple juice is my friend! So I guess tequila shots are out for you? Have you ever had a washington apple shot?? So yummy!

[disney honeymooners]

Yeah they are out for me but you can do the tequila shots and i will do vodka shots nope i have never had one of those may have to try one on the trip. yeah goombay is great but you dont realize how much liquor you are drinking until you try to stand up quite a few of my friends fell on there behinds after having one too many.

[jenny105]

They may not know how to make it (a lot of bartenders have no idea what it is) so just for reference: Crown Royal, Apple Pucker, and a splash of cranberry. Really good!!

[disney honeymooners]

no one ever knows how to make my drink either they look at me funny when i ask for a Goobay Smash so i always have to tell them how to make it however i am use to making it in a large amount so i am use to using 1 cup each of clear and coconut rum and 1/2 cup of dark rum and a large can of pineapple juice (all the girls in my family love it so we always make it in a big batch)

[jenny105]

Can you make a big batch and bring it on the boat somehow? Me, you, and our boys could all meet up for a drink! It's going to be funny if you go up to a bartender and ask for that and then like, 5 minutes later I go up and ask for it. They're going to think it's some kind of trick or test.

[disney honeymooners]

Yeah they will think so we have a "secret cruiser" like stores have secret shoppers. I would love to make a big batch but i think they would have a problem with that much liquid in my bag we always make it in a giant bubba keg with a tap on the side(they sell them at walmart or as we call it the "Dallas Mall" man we r redneck ) and we have a great time drinking an d playing a dice game we found on the internet called farkel it is great well it is great after a couple of drinks.

[jenny105]

Have you read on the boards that you can bring your own drinks on board as long as it's a rolling cooler and can fit through the security machine on the belt? The only thing that check is that there is no ice in it. I think we may try to bring a couple bottles of wine or something on board with us. I know people haven't had a problem with it but knowing my luck, I will!
