If anyone knows me well, they'll know that I love to eat. But I also have a terrible habit of saying I'll be full when I have three bites of anything. This trip, has changed me. I don't know if for the better or worse.. I'm thinking the latter. I was really hungry one day after a long day at Universal Studios so our family was eating at the TGIFs across the street from the hotel.. our second time there, in a row. Anyways, they're having this ridiculous cheap deal of $5 menu items and I'm talking regular full sized sandwiches, burgers and salads here. I have no idea how they're even making money considering these items are nearly 50% off from their normal price, some even more!
Anyways, I was hungry so I decided to add a piece of chicken to my chicken burger. Now, chicken breasts in the USA are oddly quite large. Bigger than the ones we use at White Spot.. To say the least, my double double chicken burger came and it was ginormous. This picture doesn't do it justice. The waitress told me everyone in the back was talking about this burger and couldn't believe that someone could finish it. Well guess what you fat Americans, this born and almost bred American finished it.. and even had dessert back at the hotel! HAHA. I'm such a pig. But I seriously ate it all.. no problem WITH the side salad that it came with (no dressing Justin). The busser also noted that he was impressed that I could finish it. And today, I had a smoked turkey leg. Two turkey legs. Doesn't sound impressive? You will soon see.. Shall post pictures of that feat another day. To all you people out there that accuse me of eating too little.. HA! I automatically turn American in more than one way when I'm down here :'(. Get me back to Canada!!!! Anyways..on to today.
Disney World!
Here you can see my loot of Aloe Vera based products that I have been stocking up on during this trip. The burn has finally decreased by one shade of tomato red to light tomato red. Still itches and prickles like crazy when I'm in the sun.. But I'll make due. Spent over $16 USD on these products. If I start peeling tomorrow before Miami.. Let's not talk about that. Just like how I won't be watching the Canucks game tomorrow because I'll be at Epcot during it. No more Nelson-curses. Each time I rush back to the hotel to watch it's during the period where the Hawks score 3 goals. Can't be a coincidence twice now right?..
But yea, today was Disney World. Woke up sorta late.. got there at around 10 30.
Boarded the Monorail (skytrain-esque) thing from the parking lot to Magic Kingdom! I was surrounded by strollers, mommies and daddies and their little kids in outfits/hats. I felt so old once again! Garrrr!. Everyone was so excited and giddy. Me? Annoyed. Heh.
First ride, Splash Mountain. Once again, I was soaked head to toe. There's this one part where the people ahead of you rush down one hill and their residual water can come pouring down on you as you go up the first hill.. if you're unlucky enough. LUCKY ME, I was sitting in the third row, the only row that got this on them. MY GOD. I swear, God wants me to get wet on all the rides possible. Oh well, it helped cool off my sunburnt back. Wet boxers aren't fun to walk around in.
Look at the sea of strollers. There were many more of these types of stroller ''parking lots". I say there are very few young parents, Disney proved me wrong. A lot of young parents. A lot.
Parade!... Nothing too too special Sorry. I'm no longer a kid. These things don't excite me.
Lalalallala... Yeah. Battery died on camera phone.. AND my regular camera. I'm a failure.
Epcot tomorrow! Hopefully more rides..because SPACE MOUNTAIN WAS/IS CLOSED..until Winter 2009. I was so upset! That was the only ride I truly wanted to experience on this trip cuz I chickened out last time around.
Sigh sigh.
Now, off to bed! But must finish my Diet Pepsi first.
Oh, I almost knocked off Winnie the Pooh's head. My bad.

ReplyDeleteNo dressing is right! I'm so proud of you for not being manorexic though. And the boxers bit, TMI. We all know wet boxers are like walking around in chafing diapers...come to think of it, try using baby powder.
ReplyDeleteThese turkey legs you speak of, are they the ones you can buy whilst you're at the disney attractions?? If so, they're ginormous!! They probably pumped those turkeys full of HGH to get them to be that size. However, they are amazing. Nelson I always get the food texts from you, but seeing that burger and hearing that story really has opened my eyes once again to what you are capable of haha. Thanks for the laughs.
ReplyDeleteWAIT. did your phone/camera die BEFORE or AFTER you saw belle?? =(
