Before we start, I just wanted to say y'all should go by Lifehouse's newest album, Almeria, that came out today because it is amazing. I know that has nothing to do with Disney, but this is moi's TR so I can write anything I want. So get the album on your iPod, or whatever.
And now let's get to the drama!
We are finally able to have our Thanksgiving dinner
So, we got to the 50s Prime Time Café and checked in.
We told the CM that 3 people were on their way because they were at the wrong park. She gave us a weird look and I was like I KNOW LADY!
She said that since our whole party wasn't there yet, we couldnt be seated. Didnt see that coming...
She said that our ADR would be fine and that we wouldn't lose it because they werent there. THANK YOU DISNEY GODS.
We waited around in the living room and basically gossiped about the other people (minus one) the whole time. We were all just so mad.
They had a cute little retro Christmas tree in the living room. I loved it.
I waited outside for the losers. CMs were doing hoola hoop outside. I wanted to join in, but I just wasnt in the mood. Instead, I wrote in my trip journal about how much fun we were having...
I finished writing. Still waiting. Went online thanks to the wonderful and FREE wifi.
It was almost 5:50.
I saw them walking up and I tried not to flip out. I just wanted to punch one of them in the face, but I would've gotten arrested so I tried to control my fists.
I said hello, well tried to at least. Troy had his own pair of mouse ears on, that he got at the wrong park.
And guess what?! THEY DIDN'T APOLIGIZE. Didnt see that coming...
I went inside and checked us in. At first the CM almost couldnt find our ADR. If they didn't, I would have killed someone, and by someone I mean Seth or Jackie. But, they found it, so Mom's living room didn't end up with blood all over it. Too bad, really.
We all sat down and I could barely look at them. I just kept glancing over at Mum and gave her a look. Meanwhile, Mimi was talking to Jackie like nothing ever happened. I was like WHAT THE CRAP?! Mimi acted like they were BFFs and she was never mad at her. I was fuming! She was saying all these nasty things about her and now, it was like they hadn't seen each other in five years or something.
Then Mum and I had to take care of Troy because everyone else went up to the bar.
They just got there and the drinking already started. Its not like they have a 3 year old or anything!
They asked Mum if she wanted a drink, but she refused and just continued to glare at me.
I am SO not used to being around drinking at all. Mum drinks once in a blue moon, and when I say drinks, I mean has like a bottle of Mike's lemonade and that's that like every two months. Its just not her. And I mean, she doesnt really like to anyways in a place like Disney, especially with me. Since I am not used to it, I did not feel comfortable with everyone else going up to the bar RIGHT when we stepped foot in the door.
Then "the other people" all complained about how awful the bartender was, BLAH BLAH BLAH. I couldnt take it much longer.
I just have to say one thing. They weren't there for Disney. When its just Mum and I, its totally different, for MANY reasons, of course, but we just get Disney. I mean, the week before we left, Jackie was asking about alcohol at the parks. I told her Magic Kingdom only has it at Be Our Guest, which in my opinion is NOT cool (foreshadowing), but Im glad it hasnt turned into another World Showcase with drunk people walking around, but thats another story for later.
Jackie was upset when I told her they dont serve alcohol anywhere in the most magical of kingdoms except in Be Our Guest, and I was telling her how I don't approve of that. She asked why and I said they aren't following Walt's legacy. She said "Meg, the man's DEAD!!'" I was hurt by that. I know that sounds a little ridiculous, but when you are a Disney freak like me, you get hurt by rude comments about Disney, ESPECIALLY Walt.
I knew all she cared about was getting away, sleeping in, and drinking. And this was only the start of it that night at the 50s...
Anyways...
We FINALLY got called at almost 6:30. I wonder why...
We sat down and I was just beyond annoyed with everyone, except Mum and Troy. Mum did nothing wrong and I can't really blame Troy for anything.
Seth and Jackie kept asking what was wrong and I just said nothing. I didnt even want to talk to them.
Our waitress came over very quickly and her name was Jenn. I thought she was so incredibly awesome and definitely made the experience a lot of fun and lightened up the mood. Sometimes, the server we get at the 50s is so not fun, but Jenn was NOT like that.
Mimi said she looked like Kelly Ripa. She didn't, actually.
We ordered our drinks and I had to get it. I HAD to. I heard so many amazing reviews about it and it was officially time.
The pb&j shake is heavenly oh my god.
THATS RIGHT!
I know it sounds nasty, but trust me y'all. IT WAS AWESOME. Like, I would just make an ADR for the pb&j shake and to sit and cry in front of one of the TVs when my hero comes on and does his Disneyland dedication.
LOOK AT THAT YUMMYNESS. (yes, yummyness is a real word, duh)
And then right after I got it, I spilled some all over the table. Seth and Jackie were yelling at me "NICE GOIN MEG!" Once again, I was trying to hold my fists against my sides.
Since it was Thanksgiving, they had a turkey dinner you could get. I didn't want to be traditional and I got the meatloaf, which came with mashed potatoes, green beans, and carrots.
As you can see, it had a lot of gravy on it, and that was the only thing I didn't like about it. Other than that, it was delicious! I hate the whole thing in like two minutes because I am a hungry hungry hippo.
Everyone else went with the turkey dinner, except Troy who got mac & cheese.
Im sure yall dont need to see 4 pictures of the same thing, so I only took a picture of Mums meal.
She said it was delicious! She was craving turkey that dayI wonder why that isand was so happy to hear that you could get it that night.
I was the first one done with my food. When Jenn came over, she was like "WOW! You licked it clean!" So she showed it to all of our cousins from New Jersey and said "Look at those tongue marks!" Why thank ya, Jenn!
So during our meal, Mimi went to use the bathroom. She didn't ask to be excused, so Jenn brought out a special dessert for her, that looked incredibly delicious. I hope you can see the sarcasm there.
Here it was!
Yes, that is green beans and carrots with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry on top. My FAVORITE! I have that after dinner every night.
Once Mimi came back, she FLIPPED out. She was like "WHAT is this?!"
So she put her napkin over it and Mum wrote on it RIP for some reason, in ketchup. She LOVES writing in ketchup. Weirdo.
Jenn came over with some other waiters and said "What is going on?!" One of them said that we were boozin it up (well not me or Mum, of course). Well yes, that would be right, since they all had two more drinks. Oh I didn't tell you guys that? TOTALLY FORGOT! Yes, they all ordered another one RIGHT when we sat down and then THREE of the $10 light up drinks. Jackie pretty much got drunk. I'm not kidding.
Now let's get on to Mum and my desserts!
I got the s'mores which was oh so yummay! The marshmallows were toasted perfectly. I wish I would've finished it but I was just so ridiculously full.
Mum got the apple crisp, which I believe was a special that night.
I didn't write down what she thought of it. Good trip notes I have, I know.
And a few more things about our meal:
Jenn kept calling Troy Chip.
Grammy had to show one of our cousins from New Jersey where the bathroom was since she knew after NOT asking to be excused.
Mum and I had to do the dishes. We had to bring our plates right outside the kitchen and then Jenn brought them in for us, since we cant go into Mom's kitchen!
Jackie got the airplane because she wouldnt eat her carrots. PAYBACK!!!!
And that is pretty much it for the 50s...
I definitely think the 50s was a great place for Thanksgiving and I am so happy that we got an ADR there. A TON of people were going up without ADRs that night. Those would be the non-Disney freaks, or should I say "the other people."
I definitely think our dinner lightened up the mood a little bit. I laughed throughout the whole meal, which was great because I hadnt done that the whole day.
50s Prime Time Café
Food: The food was delicious! A great homemade meal! 5/5
Atmosphere: The atmosphere is so amazing and it makes you feel like you are in Mom's kitchen, especially with people getting yelled at and being put into the corner. 5/5
Service: Like I have said, Jenn was our server and she was the best waitress we have ever had at the 50s! She was just awesome and really got into her character. 5/5
Overall, it was a great meal, except all of the drinking and all of the drama before, but I think I have ranted enough about that.
After we paid, we headed outside and onto Hollywood Blvd. because Seth wanted a jacket.
I forget what store we went into, but I loved a lot of the stuff they had.
There are so many awesome shirts that I want.
Disney makes me broke, seriously.
After Seth got a jacket, they all wanted to go on the Great Movie Ride. It's a great ride and all, but I was just not in the mood, especially since we just went on it that afternoon.
So Mum and I went off and looked in some stores, which was very nice!
We went into the Christmas store and I was just overwhelmed with all of the Christmas merchandise. I WANTED IT ALL.
They had some awesome decorations in there too.
We went through all of the stores and we didn't know what to do next. We needed to stay in the area, because let's be real, "the other people" didn't know where a thing was in the park. Scratch that. They didn't know where ANYTHING was.
So Mum and I sat on the steps of the Hat. I basically vented to her the whole time and I started crying. I didn't want to be crying, but I had to let it out. I was having such a horrible time and I just wanted to go home, which is pretty sad considering where we were.
Never again will we do a family vacation...
I tweeted Meg (my twin, no actually leopardmickeyears on here, who has a new TR, that you ALL should read!) about the wonderful time we were having. She thankfully understood!
Mum and I were busy gossiping about the other people when I saw Seth walking up to us. We shut our mouths and then asked about the ride. They said they enjoyed it except Troy was scared during Aliens. Saw that coming.
All I wanted to do was see the Osborne Lights next, but other people didnt at that moment.
I just want to go see the Osborne Lights. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!
Oh, what fun we were having!
And now let's get to the drama!
