If you do that MetalRage (the beer crawl) make sure you get one of those motor scooters to take you back to the bus! YIKES! I wouldn't make it half way around! Iamthecaptain, you've done beers around the world, I'm impressed! My college days are over! :P

Boilerbabe, my college days are over too, so for us it's all about pacing ourselves. If you start early enough, it's not that bad. Mexico is the way to start, easy and light stuff, even with the margaritas added in. The key is making germany be late afternoon for the heavier beers. And yes, we actually have mapped this all out based on previous trips lol. We have yet to need a scooter by the end of the day, but after capping the night at espn sportszone to watch the texas/texas tech game, we managed to entertain our bus driver with our horrible random karaoke on the ride back to our hotel.

And have fun next week. They have already started putting out the christmas stuff. I may see ya up there if I can get a couple more people to go for a quick day trip up there.

Hysterical, I love it. That's why and how WDW has cornered the market on memorable experiences. No matter where you are in life, or who you go with, you will undoubtedly have a great time. When we started going on yearly trips 15 years ago it was just my immediate family (brothers and wives) and many memories of circling the World Showcase picking up the local beverages (we did have a stroller to help carry the half-yards from Great Britain though).

Then, for the next 15 years we've introduced WDW to our kids spending most of the trips in the Magkc Kingdom and then up through the older-aged attractions. I still have a little one (and one on the way) but soon it won't be long until we go full circle and spending time making loops in the WS sampling the beverages again.

We are heading down in 22 days so can't wait grab a half-yard!

Sadly they do not serve the half yards anymore, or at least they were not this weekend. We were hoping to get one but were sadly told they don't serve them any longer.

I did beers around the world 3 times. I made it safely the first time, the 2nd time I had to get carried around in Mexico ( I started in Canada). Then the last time I started in Mexico and had to be carried aroudn in Morocco and really don't remember anything in France/UK/Canada.

MetalRage, if you end up doing Beers Around the World...Just hope you have a friend to hold on too, thats all I have to say :)
I know this is probably your first flight...and it's mine too...ha, ha

Rain upon that planet Earth. And they rain ... and rain ... and rain. The deluge.

Well we're in 2 minds, it's either Paris in August or WDW in September, or even WDW in September 2010. Much too far in the future :(
1980, 2000, 2005 and 2008 all had plenty of magic. Hoping for a bit more in 2010.

I may be going in 6 months (May). Depends on if we can all get vacation time then. I hope so.
