What an amazing day! I'm so envious, despite the rain! That poutine...oh boy...that looked amazing! And you all took some really cute pictures together!
We were SOAKED!!
But if you were wondering, yes I was ultimately going for that drowned rat look!!
I had to console myself with this cake:
I also got this horrendous dish from inside the Odyssey:
It was really good, but ultimately in the end we missed out on the shrimp party that Ariane, her Steve, Lesley, @pepperandchips (Melinda), @Jenny Sanders, @Chrystmasangel, @Steppesister , @Elevationist @kastoney and a whole bunch of others were at. So we headed that way after we finished our corn so we could also have a shrimp party of our own.
Loved it!!! ANd more shrimp. I totally like this one better than the one with sausage in it they have now.We managed to make it to the Refreshment Port (a good chunk of us did) cos lots of us needed one of these after our harrowing afternoon:
Steve representin' the Chunkydump the correct way, right @Steppesister ?
In America a few decided to listen to Herman's Hermits
Picture perfect!!!Other things we did in Germany:
The Chunkydump, of course!
Still it goes on....
Miss you too! Feel like I've been living vicariously through your Facebook posts. Chunkylush has been working her Chunkybutt off and has had very little time for much else.KARI I miss you! Where has my Chunkylush been?
That is amazing!!!!!!!! Wish Disney cruised out of Baltimore so we could think about doing some last minute trips.We got back last week Tuesday morning in NYC, and did early walk off the boat at around 7:15am. I got an Uber to get to my work in NJ, and Steve took the subway down to his workplace.
Tell Steve I am still disappointed I didn't see him hereHere's Steve reminding everyone of the meetup point:
Oh man you all did get soaked. We'd gotten to the Odyssey just before it really unloadedNeedless to say, my hair did not survive.
This was so not good and sadly one of the only things at the festival I had a chance to eatI also got this horrendous dish from inside the Odyssey:
Ain't no party like a Steve shrimp party cause a Steve shrimp party don't stopIt was really good, but ultimately in the end we missed out on the shrimp party
While I have no memory of this that is clearly me in the photo and there is clearly shrimp missing so we can just go right ahead and blame me.
Some of them are missing shrimp but I blame that on Kari.
So looks like Jenny, Joe, and I are so not with everyone else and just photobombing
Oh this looks amazing. I ate so little this entire day I was living up to my chunky nameOn the way I convinced Jenn to share a plate of deep fried cauliflower with me, her only hesitation was that it would be to spicy. I got one, and yes they were really spicy but they were oh so good! Sorry I don't have a pic of them today but I have some from previous days. (shown below)
Such suspense, such intrigue, I can't wait to see what happensDo we make it to our cruise in the end? Find out shortly!!
We got back last week Tuesday morning in NYC, and did early walk off the boat at around 7:15am. I got an Uber to get to my work in NJ, and Steve took the subway down to his workplace. I took our luggage and stored it in our car (I park in a lot by work) then walked into work right at 8:35am. It can be done everyone!!
Su-Lynn? Not seeing any photos at all?
But welcome back!
Not to give a shameless plug, but I started a new TR and forgot to include you in the bat signal I sent out. I know you're a smart girl and can find the bread crumbs to lead you there when you're ready to join in!
Thank you!!Yes! They are there now! Great pics. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!!Great shot of you guys!
Thank you! It was awesome!Glad you guys had a good time on your cruise! Can't wait to see the rest of the photos and read all about it!
Thank you so much for reading!!Just read through your entire TR so far - LOVE everything so far and can't wait to hear the rest
It really was the most fun despite the rain!That was such a great afternoon/evening!!!!
I'm glad you had a great time on your cruise! I'm quite impressed you went from the boat and straight to work - that's how you make the most out of your vacation days!
Your afternoon looked like so much fun! It's too bad you got caught in the downpour (food distraction is real!), but you look very nice in the subsequent pictures even though your hair "didn't survive" the rain. I wish my hair looked as nice after getting soaked!
[/QUOTE]Oh my goodness, the food from the F&G booths looks SO GOOD! I'm so excited that the F&G Festival runs longer than it used to so I have a chance to try some of those tasty treats next year. I'm especially excited to try the lobster, the shrimp, and the violet lemonade!
Right?!? All the effort!Noooooooooo!
It really was and it tasted just as good as it looked!Wow that is one of the prettiest cakes I've ever seen!
It does! Violet lemonade to the rescue!Violet lemonade makes everything better.
It really was! It didn't matter what happened as long as we were all together and having fun!Even with the rain it sounds like such a fun afternoon full of food, drinks, and lots of laughs & smiles!!
Haha, if only my hair would have survived it would have been the BEST DAY EVER!!Looks like a fun day despite the rain. Lots of food , drink, and friends , what more could you ask for ? Well , I guess no rain and perfect hair ?
Thank you!Very pretty, and Jenn's ears look great!
Pending rainclouds shrouded any emotion.The enthusiasm is strong with this one.
It was!That lobster was sooooooo good!
Must be a Canadian thing.I know I am one of (if not the only one) who liked the orange cream slushy more.
Ah yes, I haven't done one since Kim P.Agent P Adventure.
I've done a few. I preferred the Kim P ones.
That was the look I was going for the entire time. The good hair was just a distraction.Oh. Well, then success!
Among everyone in Epcot, no, among Epic ladies, yes.So you didn't stand out at all.
Which really just means #marriage#everymanforhimself
yup!Pretty good consolation.
It was! I can see it being gross with it cold since the butter would have congealed.I didn't like that at all. We threw ours out, less than half eaten. Was yours hot?
I honestly barely taste coconut.I was so pumped for this... until I read "coconut"... then it was a hard "nope!"
Thanks!!Still cute.
Weak!!I was going to get one, but ran out of steam (and room!)
I am usually a purist too but in the realm of cheese fries I am ok with other toppings.Interesting.
I'm more of a purist I suppose. Plus... the coffee part didn't appeal.
Unbelievable!HOW DARE THEY!?!?!?
Yup! We had a nice time catching up in the quick service at America.Oh! Didn't know you guys met him (them) again. Nice!
Try harder!!I'M TRYING!!!!!
Too bad there are no characters on the boat!Oh, poor sis. Stuck on a boat with no place to go.
Thank you! It was great fun despite my rats nest hair. I like that term...Chunky Rain!!OMG the food looks amazing!! And it still sounds like a fun day despite the Chunky Rain
I'm sure your Canadian self is going, omg that is not real poutine, lol, but It was definitely tasty although I think I'd like it without the meat more.What an amazing day! I'm so envious, despite the rain! That poutine...oh boy...that looked amazing! And you all took some really cute pictures together!
Right? I should just give up on doing my hair, which you can totally tell when my hair looks like a birds/rats nest. It was definitely great fun though!Sounds like it was a really fun afternoon in the World Showcase! So sorry all that work you put into your hair was ruined by a rainstorm. Florida tries its best to destroy all efforts at looking nice.
Definitely that rain could not have been more epic!It was rain of epic proportions!
It was good too!Super sad I missed that one; so pretty!
Totally!I tried it too. Meh.
Redeemed!!Shrimp FTW!!!
They have sausage in it now? Weird!Loved it!!! ANd more shrimp. I totally like this one better than the one with sausage in it they have now.
YuuuumAnd they were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo good!!
Chunkydump seal of approval!Picture perfect!!!
And it does...Still it goes on....
Oh just get your Chunkybutt to Florida...like this weekend? Will be there until the 13th! Hehe.Miss you too! Feel like I've been living vicariously through your Facebook posts. Chunkylush has been working her Chunkybutt off and has had very little time for much else.
That would be so cool!That is amazing!!!!!!!! Wish Disney cruised out of Baltimore so we could think about doing some last minute trips.
OK, next time I'll make him just stand there, actually just doing the Chunkydump and pointing.Tell Steve I am still disappointed I didn't see him here
I know. We 3 were the only ones soaked!!Oh man you all did get soaked. We'd gotten to the Odyssey just before it really unloaded
Disappointed in it.This was so not good and sadly one of the only things at the festival I had a chance to eat
We need to get shirts with those lyrics for next Epic trip!Ain't no party like a Steve shrimp party cause a Steve shrimp party don't stop
Kari, you have a half-eaten shrimp in your hand!! #caughtredhandedWhile I have no memory of this that is clearly me in the photo and there is clearly shrimp missing so we can just go right ahead and blame me.
You guys must have been traumatized by Terry at WL!So looks like Jenny, Joe, and I are so not with everyone else and just photobombing
LOL well you have to make up for that on the next trip!Oh this looks amazing. I ate so little this entire day I was living up to my chunky name
Right?!? How time flies!
Oh, that RAIN!!
Reading this bring back such fun memories! I can't believe it was six months ago!
Although I don't remember the bourbon coke I definitely remember the cake! I would have though you had gotten a Miller Lite, hahaha.Oh, gosh, this was just the most fun afternoon!!! I forgot about my birthday cupcake at the America pavilion!! I think Ariana took video of it even. I ordered a most delicious frozen coke with Buffalo Trace bourbon, and they gave me a birthday song and a giant cupcake, which I shared with everyone else
Well, myself, Steve, @Lesley Wake, and Ariella were distracted by a few things:
Needless to say, my hair did not survive.
the skies opened up before we got to the Odyssey. And I mean REALLY OPENED UP, like deluge floodwater rain.
I had to console myself with this cake:
I also got this horrendous dish from inside the Odyssey:
Sugar Cane Shrimp Skewer with Steamed Rice and Coconut-Lime Sauce from La Isla Fresca
Yum, this shrimp is da bomb!! I hope they have it every year!
I love this bloody mary! It was perfect! I preferred the pork belly one that had in Festival of the Arts but this is a very close second.
Yum La Vie en Rose cheers!!!!
Here's a public service announcement: ALWAYS GET THE CHOCOLATE CARAMEL PINEAPPLE. You're welcome.
I may get this again when I'm there in a week and a half, just to see if I really liked it, haha. Anyone else going to be there Nov 9-13?
The skies continued to look dreary.
Do we make it to our cruise in the end? Find out shortly!!
Perhaps.Must be a Canadian thing.
Of course! I should have known.That was the look I was going for the entire time. The good hair was just a distraction.
Which really just means #marriage
I would, though.I honestly barely taste coconut.
<hangs head in shame>Weak!!
Yes, ma'am! Pretty sure my boss will totally understand!Try harder!!
In fact, go right now, to the airport, buy plane ticket, arrive MCO - go to Epcot, head to Germany, buy Chocolate covered pineapple. Easy, right?
In fact...I'm going to do that this weekend!!
Too bad there are no characters on the boat!
Although I don't remember the bourbon coke I definitely remember the cake! I would have though you had gotten a Miller Lite, hahaha.
Yup, we got soaked! But the lobster and wine slushy was WORTH IT! Also, the memories....This is the lobster tail and citrus wine slushy which is infinite times better than that orange cream slushy in the Orange Bird souvenir cup. Well we were too busy eating so naturally the skies opened up before we got to the Odyssey. And I mean REALLY OPENED UP, like deluge floodwater rain. We took shelter at those kiosks where they have the interactive games (what are they called now anyways? I only remember Kim Possible), but we didn't see it letting up soon, so we ended up making a run for it into the Odyssey afterall.
Needless to say, my hair did not survive.
We were SOAKED!!
But if you were wondering, yes I was ultimately going for that drowned rat look!!
So much so I booked a trip yesterday for a long weekend in January during MLK weekend. Turns out a few people will be there too! Including @disneyAndi14, @ariane37 and @ArielSRL. Mini Epic Trip! Yay!
They told us to hang in the area just to see if the cruise does go we'd be close by so for some unbeknownst reason we ended up at the OUTDOOR ba
At this point I also lost my sister who apparently went to MK and met Tinkerbell. How does she do that?!?
[/QUOTWhat? I didn’t realize she left. How did she do that?? And why does she still look amazing and the rest of us look like drowned rats?!
I love watching these little clips! I’m glad you have them! It takes me right back to that awesome daySorry it's a lot of video but really capturing it on video was more fun then.
Wow I love this shot and how warm the lighting is. Chunksis looks amazing!And got the lantern shot.
That might be the ugliest drink I've ever seen.It also was green but not in a good way.
Yummmmmm oh man those look incredible!Parker House rolls with spreads:
I'm just there for the FOOD!Those are definitely understandable things to be distracted by!
Lesson learned!Which is one of the reasons I rarely take much time on my hair.
It was only for that weekend which is really odd to spend so much money on decor and limited edition cakes. At least just have it for the duration of the festival.I don't remember that cake when we were there. It's very cute!
The Italy one was amazing! Which is why I had high hopes for this one but it was the opposite!Yeah I hated that one too. Enough that it made me not want to try the one in Italy.
Right, no coconut! For you or @pkondzMore for you then. I'm not touching that one!
It's so freaking delicious. When will you be there? We're going Jan 18-22. I literally booked it 2 days ago and already our FP window opened up yesterday, LOL.Oh boy! I hope they have the one at the Fewtival of Arts this year! I can't wait to try it!
It's amazing! I brought 2 home with me last week!Huh. We will have to try that one. We get practically everything else there!
I heard from our mutual friend that you were going to some fancy party!No, but I'll be at DL from Nov 13-17!
I don't understand people who don't understand having to take time off for Disney! I mean, we need mental health days, right?Yes, ma'am! Pretty sure my boss will totally understand!
LOL bourbon and cake, a good combo!I really wanted to!!!!! But, I couldn't find it (definitely did once we started walking, so I had one shortly after!) so "settled" for bourbon
Yes! The memories are priceless!Yup, we got soaked! But the lobster and wine slushy was WORTH IT! Also, the memories....
OMG so fun! Mini Epic Trip!!Hi Su-Lynn! Joe and I will be there in January too.❤. Where are you staying?
Haha, we had a really great productive blogger convention!! You need to come to the next one!Love your blogging convention...lol! I definitely need to attend one of those some day! The videos are hilarious.....
Yay! For all of you going! I’m sad I won’t be there
Haha, it was so funny, us huddled under the few umbrellas they had, with our drinks and just doing our "blogging"Ummmm, yeah. Why didn’t we run inside before that rain came?? Of course, then we wouldn’t have this awesome story to tell forever and ever
I have no idea when she left! She does that a lot!What? I didn’t realize she left. How did she do that?? And why does she still look amazing and the rest of us look like drowned rats?!
It really does!! So fun!I love watching these little clips! I’m glad you have them! It takes me right back to that awesome day
Haha we sure did!!!Fun times, my husband told me to have fun at my bloggers convention, when he dropped me off at the airport
I did tell him we had a very productive blogger convention.
