The Widow and the Spinster take a Holiday Trip to WDW - The One Where We Only Get To Ride Half The Rides 4/6

You can stop right there. Nope!
I said you could stop! No need to pile on the coconut!

Well it wasn't my drink so I didn't care.

That actually sounds good... but looks terrible!

It was good. I just didn't believe her that it would make my mouth black.

You wouldn't think so??

I cant come up with any other plausible reason for my discomfort. Must have been that those hot sauces really didn't like me.

Congratulations?

Phew! Was worried this was the start of a flu or something.

That would have been somewhat tragic, but no. All OK.

 

[franandaj]

That Red Sambal sauce is my favorite. I'll just take it off your hands next time.

It's all yours!!!!!

Well it wasn't my drink so I didn't care.

Valid...
Except if it's a strong coconut smell, I'm leaving. Blech. (But presume this was not the case.)

[franandaj]

I need to adopt this attitude in my life!!! Still annoying that there is no resolution, but I like that you're dusting your hands off!

It's all I can do at this point.

Those drinks sure looked tasty, despite the black lip color left behind!

It was a very tasty drink!

Those gingerbread animals are amazing!!!

I think that Jambo house was the next most impressive after the Beach Club.

Uh oh, big dabs of spicy stuff never ends well for me either. Glad you woke up feeling like yourself again at least!

Yeah, I need to be careful with the spicy!

I couldn't smell it across the table so......

Day 5

I woke up around 6AM feeling just fine. Today we had purchased a LL for Guardians and we were going to try for the virtual queue as well. Right at 7AM we were both on the app, and I was able to get us Group 55. The wait time until we were called was 320 minutes.

We went ahead and got dressed. I was living on the edge by eating my leftover seafood from the other night. It was still very tasty and luckily I had no ill effects.

We also ate our Zebra Domes for breakfast.

We packed up all our stuff and called a Bellman so that they could transfer all our stuff over to Bay Lake Tower. I took a few last shots of the animals outside our window.

We were out the door by 9:15AM just in time for our LL to open up in a few minutes. We got Conga by Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine.

Then we took a few photo pass pictures at the World Celebration. I know that sounds weird, but I googled it, and that’s what that area is called now.

Then we went on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Somewhere in there, I already hit my 7,000 steps.

Then we exited Epcot through the International Gateway and took the skyliner to DHS.

We had purchased a LL package, and went to ride RnRC which went down just before we went inside the record studio.

We waited in line at Guest Relations to get our pass back, and while we were in line TSMM went down. So we went over to Toy Story Land which was a zoo today and were at least able to ride SDD.

We were going to be meeting up with a friend, but she was running later than expected, so she told us to just go ahead and have some lunch. Good thing because both Jill and I were approaching hangry. We decided on the Backlot Express where they had a Southwestern Chicken Salad.

Jill also ordered the Wookie Cookie.

It was actually a pretty tasty lunch and perfect to split. We only ate half of the Wookie Cookie, it was huge. Our friend showed up right as we were finishing, and sat around for a bit catching up. Neither RnRC or TSMM had come back up yet, so we decided to give up and go to MK.

I’ll be back with the rest of our day later!

The wait time until we were called was 320 minutes.

At first I was shocked by that... then realized it wasn't that bad after all... provided you had more than a couple hours in the park, at least.

phew!

We also ate our Zebra Domes for breakfast.

Stawp!!!!

We packed up all our stuff and called a Bellman so that they could transfer all our stuff over to Bay Lake Tower.

Was just commenting on a different TR how I'd like to stay there some day, just for it's proximity to MK.

I took a few last shots of the animals outside our window.

Never gets old.

Then we took a few photo pass pictures at the World Celebration. I know that sounds weird, but I googled it, and that’s what that area is called now.

Fun shot.

Somewhere in there, I already hit my 7,000 steps.

"I promptly sat down and refused to move unless someone carried me.

I'm still there."

We had purchased a LL package, and went to ride RnRC which went down just before we went inside the record studio.

We waited in line at Guest Relations to get our pass back, and while we were in line TSMM went down.

Geez! You're not having any luck at all!

both Jill and I were approaching hangry.

Run for your lives! Hangry women coming!

We decided on the Backlot Express where they had a Southwestern Chicken Salad.

That looks good.

Jill also ordered the Wookie Cookie.

But that looks... unfinished?

We only ate half of the Wookie Cookie, it was huge.

Well, Wookies are pretty big, so...

There are definitely similarities with both trips. I need to get back over and read your updates. My life has become rather full lately.

I just wrapped up the Asia-Australia one after our day in the Daintree Rainforest. It was definitely an epic trip full of adventure. I'll launch my next TR in the next week or so before heading out on my own new adventures.

I gotta focus on clearing out. And making way for new experiences.

Life has seasons... a time for everything.

She doesn't think so, but ive really noticed in our recent pictures that we both look a lot healthier, that may have something to do with it.

Yes, I'd agree. You both look great and yes, healthier. That makes me so happy!

Nope. I've given up. Things took a weird turn. Two of my allies just up and left the board. My life has also taken a new turn such that I'm not willing to beat my head up against a wall. I've got better things to focus on.

Ugh.... excited to hear what's on the horizon, but nope, drama's gotta go. No time for that!

I've never been seated outside. I like the interior and someday I want to be seated in the dive bell!

Take time to go take a look. Lots of backstory stuff from Indy in there that you'd like. I've gotten the Dive Bell twice and it's so fun!

I looked back at the ingredients in the drink and there was nothing weird that would have given me that reaction. I'm going to have to say that those hot dips took an Express Train through my body system and just knocked me on my ***. Literally.

It was sure something!! Yikes!

Best breakfast ever!

Bye Giraffe!

Another terrible ride picture of me but what a great ride!

Then we went on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Somewhere in there, I already hit my 7,000 steps.

Remy is always fun and worth the hike!

We were not having good ride luck!

Jill also ordered the Wookie Cookie.

Really good but way too big!
