Something is happening near the pool!!!

[nikkipowell1]

I think that Shan-man gets the beer plus a bottle of rum!!!!:



We shall see!


TCD

I will be more than happy to share my bottle of Rum, wether or not the splash zone will be open by memorial day or not, but I don't think soooo.....

 

[ancfun]

We are leaving Saturday morning for the Fort and the splash zone better be open by then. Can't they work around the clock? LOL! I will have a hard time making my 2yr old believe that he really can't go in there.

Been here since Sunday, and the rain has been steady since that time. I can't imagine that the workers are going to be able to get much done until the monsoon season ends. We stopped over at the pool yesterday, and it was empty (as one would expect, given the weather). The splash pad looked the same as it did in the recent photos (absent any workers). A woman behind the counter at the Meadows snack bar said that it should be open by Friday. I think it could be, if they had a run of sunny days until then. But, the forecast is not supporting that plan.

Magic Kingdom was empty yesterday, the kids had a great time, inspite of the rain. Epcot was less empty today (with even heavier rain), but we had fun just the same. It would be nice to see the sun one of these days...

I'd much rather have the rain than the crowds. You can always wear your bathing suit to the parks then you won't mind being wet.

 

[Donna]

ugh, if disney starts allowing bathing suits it'll be just like a Six Flags.

 

[chilipyro]

If by 'bathing suits', you mean the kind that look like shorts, but are made out of thin nylon - so they dry fast - we are already on that suggestion. We learned that from our Six Flags visits, but it applies here even when the weather is sunny, as there is plenty of opportunity to get wet in all of the parks, with or without rain. The options for girls and women are a bit less simple, as Disney probably doesn't allow bikini or one piece women's suits to be worn around the park (any more than Six Flags does in our area). But, my wife and daughter have thin nylon pants that the can wear too. We brought dry underwear, sirts, and socks yesterday, to change into when we tired of being wet.

Yes, I also prefer the rain to the crowds. I kept telling the kids that they didn't know how lucky they were to just be able to walk right on to all the rides at Magic Kingdom on Monday. We could have just stayed on the boat at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride - we were the only ones on our boat, and no one was in line to take our boat when we arrived at the end. We rode Big Thunder Mountain enough times in a row that I was starting to get a bit sea sick. We could have done the same with Splash Mountain, if I was willing to get wetter (front row seats on our first trip dampened my spirits for that ride . The worst though, was the Indy Speedway. The skies had cleared when we got in line, but opened up with a torrential downpour, as soon as we loaded. We were riding in a bathtub, by the time we got to the end. No one was waiting in line to get in the cars when we did get to the end (of course), so CMs were moving the cars forward to make room for the arriving cars - which took forever . We had to go home and change after that experience, but came back later for even more wait-free rides.

Oh boy, I don't think anyone wants to see this grandma in a bathing suit...

 

[Shan-man]

I have seen WAY TOO MANY gals in bikini tops at WDW... gals that really ought not be in public in a bikini even at a beach, much less a theme park. Honestly, even if I ran into Vanessa Williams in a bikini top at Epcot I would think it less than appropriate... not saying I would protest, but I would think it less than appropriate! LOL

And I thought we were talking about the kids splash zone .

Without pics, our minds tend to wander. Did I hear somebody talk about "Vanessa Williams"?

 

[Shan-man]

And I thought we were talking about the kids splash zone .

It's kinda like the local news on a slow news day... they have to find SOMETHING to fill the time slot, so they start talking about Mrs Johnson's 3rd Grade Class's outing to the Science Museum, or "In The News on this Date 20 Years Ago". Around here it's usually beer or social critique of some kind until someone drops some fresh meat in front of us, like a picture of the splash zone being water tested... you don't happen to have a picture like that, do ya? Can't wait for new pics from all the Fiends who should be there anytime now!


Ok, resume discussions of beer and Vanessa Williams!

 

[SCCamper]

mmmmm....beer.

 

[guardwife66]

mmmmm....beer.

You guys are always talking beer. I don't like beer. I like something cool and fruity with a liberal dose of rum or tequila.

 

[Goofy-dad]

I bet someone is sitting in their TT right now waiting for a break in the rain. I would love to see what it looks like in a downpour! : O.k., so we are all desperate to see some new photos even if they are a little soggy!..Any takers???

I hate beer to. I this we should start a hard liquor thread. What your favorite rum? Me, Captain Morgans. He will be meeting me there in 5 days.

 

[BradyBz12]

Sailor Jerry's

Seriously... give it a try. It's spicy like Capt Morgans, but a lot smoother.... and stronger.

For sipping.... go with Appleton's Reserve every time. Wish I'd brought back a case the last time we were in Jamaica.
