Won't hijack Su-Lynn's thread.I'm waiting...
Picturing this is so funny. I would want some A/C too.I thought we could eat inside the area that has air conditioning, so I told DH to get some nachos while I sent everyone else to sit down. I myself went into Mexico to get myself an Avocado margarita. I asked if anyone else wanted anything but they said they will get something later. I walked out with my precious margarita and went straight to the dining area, the one for La Hacienda de San Angel, which I thought was open at the time, but when I went to open the door, it was locked and wouldn't budge. I wouldn't give up so easily though, I kept tugging at the door like an idiot, margarita in hand, because I wanted some air conditioning damn it!
My favorite CS at Epcot, I love the nachos.These nachos are delicious, I highly recommend them. We all enjoyed them it it proved a perfect pre-dinner appetizer. Yum.
You guys are such rebelsImmediately, the bartender goes "ID please."
CT1 (clueless):"Oh I don't have ID."
Me (exasperated): "Ying! You're ruining everything!"
CT1 (innocently): "What, I thought everything was on our magic bands?"
Me (frustrated, to bartender): "Sorry, she left her ID in the room, but I'm buying the drink for myself." (crosses fingers)
Bartender: "Fine, but don't let me see you giving her the drink"
He lets me buy the drink. Thankfully I was not kicked out of Disney for buying my non-under aged sister and BIL a drink.
This bottle is so cuteTo drink I shared a beer with Steve, called Lucky Buddha, an Enlightened Ale. I absolutely LOVED the name of it and the bottles it came in!! The beer was pretty decent, better than a bud light. I was not sure with the name "enlightened beer" if it was a light beer or not but it tasted like it was.
I'm guessing pick a pearl???After dinner I told everyone to head over to Japan as I had a surprise for the girls....
Finally caught up again!
Happy birthday to all the October bdays!! And sweet Caylee too-OMG are the kids adorable!!
My oldest turned 20 yesterday (at MNSSHP) and my middle is 15 in 10 days.
Fish and chips is my sons happy place, while grand marnier slushies are mine Although the tequila bar inside Mexico is a close second happy place.
And the tale of drink ID reminded me to remind my MiL and SiL to take their ID with them!
It definitely is! But I'm also the person who has to have everything just in case so forgetting your ID is so weird to me!
Right!? Throw me a bone, here, universe!
Epcot has always been my least favorite but I’m actually looking forward to it now after reading your TR! I’m especially looking forward to the frozen coke!
I also wanted to say that we ate at Nine Dragons a year ago and loved it. But we tried to order things on the menu that we a bit different than the normal mom and pop Chinese restaurant. We ordered the Shrimp Typhoon, it was REALLY good.
'Shrimp Typhoon
Golden fried shrimps with fried shallots, garlic spice and a touch of jalapeño'
From the disney web site. I am not clamoring to go again, but if we were in EPCOT and wanted to sit down, I would def go there in a pinch last minute.
The problem is there are so many good restaurants in the world showcase!
Won't hijack Su-Lynn's thread.
Caught back up with your report! Again, made the mistake of reading your report while hungry. CH's main dish from Nine Dragons looks amazing. Or maybe your report just MAKES me hungry... Either way, I can't wait to see what the surprise in Japan is! <3

Finally all caught up. Happy Birthday to all who celebrated / are celebrating. Those nachos and margaritas look delish.
I can't believe how many snacks you guys had before your dinner at Nine Dragons! I would not have been able to eat my dinner if I had all that!
What is with the folks who don't bring their IDs with them? I think there is some sort of unwritten law that you need to keep ID on you at all times, like in case of an emergency, how can they identify your body if you don't carry ID. Just kidding. Sort of. What about a medical emergency? I mean I took a header on the Boardwalk (if you got that far on my TR). I wasn't hurt, but it could have been much worse if I didn't know how to fall down with the least amount of damage.
At least all that happened was that they weren't able to have as many drinks as they wanted. I always switch to a small purse at WDW so I can carry a P&S camera, cell phone, ID, CC in case MB scanners are down, AP for discounts on merchandise, TIW card, ibuprofen....you know the important stuff!
Nine Dragons looks really tasty. We have lots of great Chinese Restaurants in So Cal (as you know) and I've never ventured there because I always want to try things we don't have readily available. But perhaps sometime we do need to try it. Both your soups looked great, but I'm a Hot n Sour fanatic, so I'd have a hard time passing that up.
Your cruise is really coming up soon!
Sorry, it's hard to see the actual pearls, so I will describe what each girl got in the order they were opened:
Eva - large classic white pearl
Caylee - smaller twin white pearls so she got two!
Sophie - a silvery-blue pearl
Mimi - pink/coral colored pearl
and here's one of the pearls (think this was Caylee's) in the pearl cage I got them:
It's such an awesome show. I like it more and more each time I see it, which is about four times now. It gets more familiar, and you can follow the narration a bit better. The music is also so awesome too. It's worth battling the crowds or getting there a little early to see it in person at least once!
After HEA, everyone aside from CS and I headed back to the Poly. I said "hold on" and I poured my popcorn from my new bucket into my old bucket so that the girls had something to snack on later, and I could just get another refill.
As we were going down the final loop, our train suddenly slowed down and came to a complete halt. I thought the train would start moving again but it did not for about 2 minutes. Then the loudspeaker came on and a CM said that due to technically difficulty the ride was being shut down. They said to stay put and someone will come rescue us momentarily.
We were stuck on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!!
Any other person would probably be rolling their eyes. But not us.
No, we thought it was the BEST THING EVER!!!!!
Yeah Elsa! Is it me, or do all of the Elsa just not look right?!? Maybe it's the way they drew her that she just doesn't translate to real people. I don't know...Ah here is that elusive Elsa picture missing from my last update!
Ha! Very progressive!They look like one happy family!
YEAH!!!! I guessed correctly! Def best Aunt status, especially since they really wanted to do it!They each got a Disney Gift Card, a pearl cage shaped like Cinderella's carriage, and yes you all guessed correctly, we were going to do Pick-a-Pearl!
This is totally what my girls would do/think.but I think they were kinda grossed out by the oyster itself and couldn't believe a pearl came out of it!
I didn't realize that they had different kinds!Sorry, it's hard to see the actual pearls, so I will describe what each girl got in the order they were opened:
Eva - large classic white pearl
Caylee - smaller twin white pearls so she got two!
Sophie - a silvery-blue pearl
Mimi - pink/coral colored pearl
I would think any of us on these boards would think the same!We were stuck on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!!
Any other person would probably be rolling their eyes. But not us.
No, we thought it was the BEST THING EVER!!!!!
Amazing!!!They look like one happy family!
Yay!!! I was right... I had a feeling I would bea pearl cage shaped like Cinderella's carriage, and yes you all guessed correctly, we were going to do Pick-a-Pearl!
Oh, for sure! Card-carrying member.I think this qualifies me for Cool Aunt status for life, right?!?! Hehe.
AwwwwBryan really liked Sophie, he called her Auntie Sophie!
Yeah, better be quick about that, too!I'll take the Redhead!
WHAT?!?!?!We were stuck on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!!
I am SO jealous!!! Your photos are incredible! What a fun experience!No, we thought it was the BEST THING EVER!!!!!

Express Bus Transport
It's worth battling the crowds or getting there a little early to see it in person at least once!
Although I did have to jump about 3 feet down from our car to the platform which I wasn't expecting.
These are so cute and such fun presents!
Wow you got amazing pictures! I guess the trick is to get there right before it starts.
I don't know if you watch Dancing with the Stars, but I just found out one of the celebrities on it, Jordan Fisher, is the male singer of the main song.The music is also so awesome too.
I'm pretty sure being rescued from a ride is on every Disney fan's bucket list!Where else would we get cool pictures from "behind the scenes" of one of the most classic Disney rides? Although I did have to jump about 3 feet down from our car to the platform which I wasn't expecting.
The CMs were really great and came and escorted us off really quickly. Then we walked down along the track and out the emergency exit. It really only took about 15 minutes total.
