Keane and PiC's December 2009 Florida Trip - Part 4
Keane
Part 4 - The Longest Day, The mini-RADP Meet and Greet, Mickey's Very
Merry Christmas Party...
Yes, I'm repeating myself:
>Who: Me (Keane). PiC (Partner In Crime). And a cast of thousands.
>What: 2009 Winter Vacation.
>Where: Florida. Kidani Village, Disney World; and Inn at the Beach, Venice Island.
>When: Dec 2 through Dec 13.
>Why: Because we *like* you. Em. Oh. You. Ess. Eee.
Dec 8. A long day.
Got up. Looked out across the savanna, and saw... white. Heavy fog.
It's white in Chicago too, with 3-5 inches of snow. I'll take the
fog, thank you.
This morning's going to be a Downtown Disney morning. Check my mail,
Jack is going to Seaworld. Jack! Shame on you! ;-) Steve and Laura
RSVP nicely, and we're on for a 1pm meet. Scheduling things by e-mail
at WDW. I wonder what Walt would say? I mean, right after asking for
a laptop...
Got to DD at 9:25, 5 minutes before the stores open. We walk around
World of Disney, and they have a door open, mainly for the BBB. They
have a rope drop at WoD, believe it or not. I just cannot get excited
over getting to go into someplace to buy something.
Pick up a couple of things, but am disappointed not to find any 2009
merchandise. Did they run out, or did they not even have any this
year? I'm wondering if they short ordered this year, so as not to
have tons of outdated material. We walk across to Basin, and look
over all the really smelly stuff. I pick up a bar of Mickey soap for
laughs...
Next is to Ghirardelli and get a free peppermint square and determine
the number and types of chocolate to pick up for home and the office.
From there, through Arribas Brothers, and eventually to Days of
Christmas, the t-shirt store and Art of Disney. I don't think we
bought anything, but that's not the point of Downtown Disney, is it?
Oh, wait, it is. We're hungry, so we head off toward T-Rex, which I
want to try just for laughs. I mean, we're here, and I've already had
a Wetzel Dog...
On the way, we stop at the candy store. Baaaad mistake. Everything
looks good. Restrain ourselves, pick up a couple of rice krispy
treats for later. Cha-ching! Disney gets some of our money. I mean,
it's already been 15 minutes since I last handed them my credit card.
It was getting lonely in my wallet. We complete the rest of the
journey to T-Rex without buying anything.
They're not open yet. They open at 11:00, and it's 10:45. So we
wander into Pleasure Island, and check out Raglin Road. They open at
11:00 too. Let's see... T-Rex, Raglin Road. T-Rex, Raglin Road.
T-Rex, Raglin Road. Raglin Road wins. Funny, that.
I have the shepherd's pie, PiC has the beef stew. While waiting, they
bring out some Irish soda bread, with Olive Oil and Honey on a plate.
Whatever happened to butter? The food arrives, and I take a picture
for Rodney. Very good, I'd eat there again. (They pipe in an Irish
comic's routine into the men's room via the public address system.
Nothing like laughing out loud in the bathroom. Good thing the
target's big.) For the first 15 minutes of our meal, we are the only
couple in the restaurant. Then a family comes in. They use the
bathroom and leave, and there are again more waitstaff than patrons.
At least the service was good... (By the time we leave, there are
three other couples having lunch.)
Saunter back to Ghirardelli, which is a longer trip now that I have a
full stomach, and buy our chocolate. They won't give me an AP
discount, since the chocolate is already discounted. Wazzup wit' dat?
Another thing I noticed, is that all the nutritional information is
printed on a piece of paper at the bottom of the bag, so you may
not even notice it's there until the chocolate is gone...I'm still
deciding whether that's a bad thing...
We get back to the room at about 12:30, and we're expecting company
at 1pm. We're on the balcony looking out, so I keep the door open so
I can hear someone knock. Steve shows up, has a pour of scotch, and
stand around the balcony looking at the animals. His wife is poolside
avoiding insane Disney people. I can deal with that. PiC has no
choice. She even has to be in the group picture.
I want to make sure Laura and Lee didn't get lost, only to find they
got lost. Since Kidani has no rooms on the Atrium, they found they
had to go down to the second floor, cross over the lobby and go back
up to the 5th floor. As I'm talking to Lee, there's a knock on the
door. He's talking to me on the phone from the other side of the
door. Ain't technology wonderful? I mean, a phone from California
calling a phone from Illinois, on opposite sides of the same door in
Florida. I wonder what Walt would say... I mean, after asking for
one.
The five of us are on the balcony, and I'm briefly reminded of the
scandal in Chicago a few years ago, where unqualified inspectors
inspected rear porches of apartment buildings, only to have one
collapse and kill a few people. Nah, couldn't happen here...
Conversation ranges from Lee being a former CM to Steve's upcoming
visit to Fort Wilderness. Laura doesn't like the view from her room,
and likes the view of the Savanna from my room better. I tell her
next time, just tell the CM at the front desk that you've only been
off chemo for a few months... Worked for me. Lee and PiC
commiserate being in the presence of Disneyphiles. Other than the
where we're from stuff, the conversation is mostly Disney. Imagine
that.
After proudly showing everyone my print in the bathroom, and the
decorations around the TV, a couple hours of conversation, Steve has
to leave. Soon after, Laura and Lee have to be at Epcot, and we part
our ways. I have no car wax or other sponsored prizes, so I give away
some prints, and PiC and I prepare for MVMCP.
We get everything together, I check to make sure I have the tickets,
and I forget the bottle of water. Idiot. Oh well, it's not like they
don't sell 'em in the park. For $2.25 a shot.
We get to Magic Kingdom, and the place is already pretty crowded.
Uh-oh. I get up to the train station, and they have the Christmas
tree up in town square, blocking the view of the castle. The garland
is up now, too. Oh, well, take the panoramic anyway.
I have a date with a hot dog at Casey's, my third close encounter of
the hot dog kind, and we head down main street. Pic grabs a table,
and I get a couple of hot dog meals. Fries are hot, and the dog is
pretty good. It might become standard MK faire, since food at the MK
leaves a bit to be desired anyway. I have no problem with this dog
over the last one. What I did have a problem with is the couple in
front of me, who ordered three meals only to complain they ordered
two, complained that the large drink was too large, and complained
that the bill was too high when it wasn't. Why in the lines I'm
always in? Why?
After...uh... Dinner, we saunter into Adventureland.
I want to go on Jungle Cruise, and stand-by time is 15 minutes. Done
deal! Except PiC hates Jungle Cruise. What? She hates Jungle
Cruise? Maybe it's time to trade her in for a newer model.
HAHAhhaahah.... Turns out it's more like 45 minutes, and it's dark
when we finally get out, it's dark.
From there, we moved on to Pirates, and it was a walk-on. Arrrrrr.
There's a Pirate at the end, who's doing a remarkable pose while a
clueless woman can't get her act together with her camera. After a
"For God's sake Lady, hurry the hell up" in Pirate, I take a quick
picture. PiC declares she'd rather do Pirates three times before
Jungle Cruise. Okay. So noted.
We did Country Bear Jamboree, just to get it on HD. I could have done
a better job, and I'm afraid I'll have to see it again someday, just
to get two versions I can cut together. Oh well, it's fun show. The
first 20 times, anyway... PiC declares she'd rather see Country Bear
Jamboree three times before seeing Jungle Cruise, and now I know she's
lying. At least, I hope she's lying.
I wonder what she'd say if I dragged her into the Tiki Room again.
It's almost time for the Party to start, so we walk over to the
Christmas store in Liberty Square. Wow, they don't have the 2009
Christmas coffee cup either. Thanks, Lisa! They close the doors, and
only reopen two of them, and they check for wristbands. I'm paying
for something, and the CM's bring out the 2009 MVMCP stuff and I tell
PiC to get over there. She doesn't (and she didn't believe me that
she should be standing over where they were going to bring the rack
out) and the other guests descend on the rack like locusts. She get's
a sweatshirt for herself, but after I get there, there's nothing left
but 2XXL and children's stuff. I talk to a CM, and not only are they
not going to bring any more MVMCP merchandise out, but that rack is
the only merchandise they have left. For the year.
What we did buy, was an electroluminescent winking snowman. It's a
very cool piece of technology. I still have to look it up to see how
it works. I've since looked it up on the net, since PiC wants more
for gifts, but they retail on the 'net for more than $30. We got them
for $14.09. Less than 50% of the price, but without the box and a
couple of stands for the device. Whattadeal! At Disney no less.
With that odd price, I wonder if that was Disney's cost, and they were
charging the wrong amount...
So we go over to main street, and they still have a rather wide
selection of MVMCP wear, and I get my t-shirt and sweatshirt. They
have a very cool fleece throw, with the castle in castle lights duds,
as one of those "Buy $40 or more and get one for $14.95" things. I
get one.
We decide to see the early parade, and go on over to Frontierland. We
find a spot in the front by the rope, and wait the 30 minutes for the
parade, just in front of Horseshoe. We're sitting, and I'm sure the
people behind us were disappointed when we stood up. Oh well. Five
minutes before the parade, I look behind us, and the crowd is about 6
rows deep. About normal for the first parade. That's why I usually
wait for the second parade, but it's pretty crowded too. I figure out
the logistics of where the monopod has to be in order to swivel around
the camcorder, and the parade begins without any 5 or 10 minute
announcement.
The parade looks different. I'll have to compare with the previous
two I've been to. They don't turn off the lights, which is something
I've complained about since I first saw the parade. It's very well
lit, and I'm hoping this taping turns out well. The smell of
gingerbread as the gingerbread cookies dance by is exceptional. We
both agree, however, that the Toyland soldiers are our favorite.
It's a zoo, so we don't even try to get to Main Street for Holiday
Wishes, and instead stake our claim in front of Crystal Palace, at the
railing so we have an unobstructed view. PiC goes in for some cookies
and apple juice, and they have the Pooh characters around the
Christmas tree again. I go and take some pictures, then come back and
settle in and wait for the fireworks. The reflection of the Castle in
the water in front of us is remarkable. In retrospect, I should have
gone to Main Street. Best laid plans, I guess, but they have the
garland up now, and I'd have to get closer to the Castle, and it was
even crowded in front of the Palace...
You can see the 360 degree fireworks better from in front of Crystal
Palace, though, something you miss on Main Street. The faces and
presents were well represented, but you miss the Castle being turned
into a Christmas tree.
Holiday Wishes over, we venture deeper into the park, but not by way
of main street, which is a mass of humanity heading for the exit. A
bunch of us play follow the leader (I'm the leader) and go through the
smoking area in Liberty Square to get to the interior of the park.
We're going to do Haunted Mansion (the stand-by line is 5 minutes),
but the line goes all the way out to Liberty Square. Not wanting
another Jungle Cruise wait, we pass. All queue line times are bogus
shortly after an event like the fireworks or the parade.
Entering Fantasyland, even iasw has a line. Uh-oh, this could be
trouble. PPF's line is also insane, but Pan's queue is always insane.
Wander over to Pooh, but the hundred acre woods characters aren't out.
Donald is, but I have pics of Don in his Christmas costume. I was
going to go into Toontown and say goodbye, but our legs are slowing
down...
Look. Space Mountain. 15 minute wait. PiC's willing so on we go.
Fun time, and the ride is much smoother than I remember, but I haven't
been on Space mountain in years. We take the long walkway out, and
PiC ain't feeling too hot after. I'm more tired after the adrenaline
wears off too. So we go on the Transit Authority, and it's not as bad
a spiel as I was expecting. We could have ridden twice, but get off
and go back downstairs.
MILF is a walk-on. I look around, and maybe 25-30 guests are in the
theater. That's not a good sign. The fewer the people, the greater
the chance of becoming one of their victims. And I am. I'm not "that
guy", but I am the Dancing Guy. Crap. I do my best, which is still
crap, but the audience appreciates it. :-) My hat even does a dance.
Nothing like public humiliation to wake one up. But I forgot to take
a picture again. Rats. This is the second time I've been picked on.
Maybe I just look funny.
We're out, and are going to leave, but we get to the Noodle Terrace
just as Santa goes by for the second parade. So we get a couple of
cookies and some Apple juice, and sit at the terrace for a while. I
need to get some pics off main street of the castle and Town Square
now that the Christmas tree is in place, and the garland up.
We get to main street, and of course, there's a forecourt castle show
on, so the Castle lights are dark. We have to wait for the show to
end before the lights come back on. A few pics later (and a few more
from Town Square), we on our way back home. The line to AKL is long,
but not as long as some of the others. There's an AKL bus there, and
they load, the bus leaves, and another appears almost immediately.
That's because the first bus isn't a handicap accessible bus, and they
bring one in that is. Of course, they have to load two handicap
guests, and it takes about 15 minutes. More proof that one of the
reasons transportation sucks at times is the loading and unloading of
wheelchairs and ECV's.
In the end, however, there's space for two more, and the people in
front of us, are in groups of more than two, or don't want to stand
up, so PiC and I get on the bus. Don't they realize they're going to
be standing there for 15 minutes for the next bus? So we're the last
ones on, but the first ones off at Kidani. Whattadeal. Okay, so this
is a time when an ECV helped our transportation...
We're dead tired, our feet hurt, and PiC still isn't doing well from
Space Mountain, so we call it a night. Hey, it's only 1am...

Keane,
When we ate at Ragland Road, they told us that the dip for the soda
bread was olive oil and a guiness stout reduction... you're right
though, it is sweet-ish.

Great report, Keane!

Keane
Ah, that would make sense, given the theme. It tasted sweet, very
caramel-ly, and it was thick, like a honey or molasses. I thought it
was one of those balsamic vinegar/honey based things...
It was pretty good. Now I'm getting hungry.
Keane
Keane
Thanks, Sue. You're right. Had I known if was a Guinness reduction,
I would have approached it from a completely different taste
perspective... Like why doesn't it taste like tar remover...
Keane, who happens to like tar remover. It's an acquired taste...

Uh, well, aren't most attractions just fun advertisements for the gift
shop at the exit?

I think Raglan Road is more of a night spot since it has live
entertainment (that is very good, by the way).

I know exactly what you are talking about! When I was there back in
March, when it got dark, the push cart vendors were selling these in the
form of a chomping skull or winking eyes. They were on cords and people
would hang them around their necks. I bought both for $15 each. I
figured it was probably a rip-off, but they might make nice Halloween
decorations. Like you, I couldn't find them on the web for less than
$20 each plus shipping! And they were a hit at Halloween when I put
them inside the "gas" coach lamp at my sidewalk. People were trying to
figure out what made them work.

It took years for display technology to catch up with my desire for

Yes! Had I know, I would have picked up a few more. Next year.
Of course, next year, they'll be selling them for $40 each...

No comment.

I guess I could since the memory card in my phone (16GB) is larger than
the one in my camera (4GB). :-)

Great. Now how about a photo of Big Foot reading my book?
Keane
I'll work on it. (Do they have a translation of your book in Big
Foot?)
I might have to fake one up, if I don't see any Feets around here...

The thing that stopped me was the picture of Big Foot that I'd need.
I couldn't figure out how to get a monster truck to look like it's
