I'd spoken with MmeLeota on the phone before but she was the only one I'd had any semi in-person contact with as far as actual speaking goes till Saturday. It's always nice to have finally met the awesome people we converse with here all the time in person!
You met me a few months ago...WAHHHHH WAHHHH lol j/k, It definitely is great to now put faces and names with handles!

Re: Mayhem Marauders Meet-up Part Deux!
I was just joshn' ya...I hope everyone that is still there is having a blast!  While I never say no to a day in the parks, it does leave me a little depressed on the ride home. and a few days after.  This is the first time in about 3 years that I really have no idea when I will be heading back.  Thank goodness for Subsonic Radio!

Re: Mayhem Marauders Meet-up Part Deux!
The best way to tell a BTG from any other foreign tour group is by how loud they are. If they are not loud at all, they definitely are not Brazilian.mindflipper wrote:Hey, this time I noticed a Japanese Tour Group (while at DAK my last day) and an Italian Tour Group (while at MK my first day).

Re: Mayhem Marauders Meet-up Part Deux!
LOL, it may be stereo-typing to say that, but my experience has unfortunately proven that to be correct. The extreme opposite were the Japanese, who were very, very quiet.MadEye wrote:The best way to tell a BTG from any other foreign tour group is by how loud they are.

The Trip Report Continues: Sat - Mayhem Day
Day Two: Saturday, the Mayhem Day (Part One)
Started the day out over at DHS during their early morning EMH (after having been there night before with the late night EMH) along with the Mousekecouple. We did the RnR that morning (separate limos) and got FP's to do RnR later. We kept promising Mousekedude we would stop for a quick breakfast soon, but we went to Star Tours first. Here's a picture of how they revamped the previous starspeeder into the current starspeeder 1000:

Mousekedude still wanted breakfast, but we decided to do TSMM next before we made good on that promise to get him something to eat. I improved my score from last night:

Given it's my second time playing and the fact I really don't like playing video games, I would admit that's actually a good score for me. (Okay, Len90, stop laughing at me! I know you're thinking you could do better with your right hand tied behind your back - but hey, you're left-handed!)
  
  After that - finally! - Mousekedude got his  breakfast, just before the place on Sunset Blvd at the rancher market switched to lunch.  Now it was time for our FP's at RnR so we rode it for a second time.  We then decided to leave the park to transfer over to EPCOT so we headed out to the boat docks for Friendship boat trip to International Gateway.  
Our first plan was to go the Land in Future World in order to get some FP's for Soarin', and we would also link up with MmeLeota and Chernabog40 while we were there. Finally, after all of this time on Subsonic, I got to meet MmeLeota! And to have five Mayhem Marauders in one spot at the same time - I was shocked that something didn't exploded!

Our Soarin' FP's were for after 4 PM, so it gave us something to do for later. We all went over to Test Track (MmeLeota and Cbog40 has FP's already for it, and the rest of us waited in the single riders line) before making our way to Germany in World Showcase for our lunch at the Biergarten with our fellow Subsonicers.
This is where I introduce someone I will simply call Mr. Brazil. When Mouseoholic went to check in with Host/Hostess area and informed them our group would not be as large as originally planned, this gentleman from Brazil (hence the monicker) barged up and demanded that he and his son could have that spot we were no longer using (he had been told they were fully booked). Mouseoholic exhibited great poise with this rude interruption, and I was glad when she told us the Host told the gentleman he would help him AFTER he is finished helping Mouseoholic. Unfortunately, I think they thought he was with us after asking for our spare space, so they seated him with us as well. I still feel sorry for Soarin08. After finding out she was a cast member, he just unloaded all of his complaints on her like every cast member is a walking complaint department.
We had a good waiter. His name was Paul and he had a good sense of humor:

BTW that's Mr. Brazil who's talking to him. Despite Mr. Brazil, we did have a great meal and we talked our trips past and present. Present at the meal was: Mouseoholic, Mousekedude, Yodiwan1 (with guest), Soarin08 (not leaving your name out this time!), MmeLeota, Chernabog40, and myself as well. Eight in all. We listened to the german band, ate great food, and everyone got the meal for free - except me.
  But I was okay with that... 
 

After that, we returned to Future World and went to Club Cool for Beverly. I didn't find the taste awful, but not enjoyable either. I had to admit the first thing that went through my mind is I definitely had tasted that bitter taste before, but I couldn't name it. It was - literally - on the tip of my tongue. Then Mousekedude suggested bitter grapefruit and I'm certain that's it! My preference is still the sodas from Isreal and China. My only complaint about Club Cool is that they don't actually sell bottles of those drinks there to buy, or that you can buy a cup to take with you. I think they made a mistake there. And, yes, Mousekedude does love it:

Yes, he can love Beverly but despise Duffy? Hmmmmmmm. But that is getting ahead of myself...
We all then rode Spaceship Earth next. Yodiwan1 & "plus one" and Soarin08 went their own ways after the ride, and we would meet up again with them at the Poly for Wishes and Dole Whips. The remaining five of us went on to do the Ellen's Energy Adventure.

It is here where Chernabog40 and I wanted to do some research concerning a topic here on Subsonic that's frequently discussed: what attractions can you take a nap on? We thought we would finally answer concerning Ellen's Energy Adventure:

Yes, you can. Plenty of leg room. Another great Subsonic tip we were able to provide you.
But after this, something utterly incredible happened that changed Mousekedude's life forever!!!! OMG!!! And what was this life-shattering event? Mouseoholic purchased a Duffy at Mouse Gear! And here she is modeling the detested thing in front of Soarin' sign outside the Land:

Now, not only does Mousekedude have to see Duffy every day he gets back to the hotel room, but he will have to see in his home FOREVER! Poor Mousekedude!
  I'm so afraid Duffy will one day have a horrific "accident" with the paper shredder some day in the future after they return home from this trip... 
  
  
 
Getting back to the Soarin' sign, we all finally rode Soarin' using our FP's we got earlier in the day. Afterwards, we departed from MmeLeota and Chernabog40 as we headed back to International Gateway, at which the Mousekecouple went left to head back to the Boardwalk and I went right to head back to the Yacht Club. We would all meet up once again in a few hours at the Poly for Dole Whips and Wishes...
Stay tune for Saturday, Part Two - Mayhem Night.

Re: Mayhem Marauders Meet-up Part Deux!
Awwww, I love seeing more mayhem marauders ~ even if I couldn't meet them in person, at least they were more complete than the last time I saw them ~ as disembodied heads...  
 
I'll bite, why did everyone eat free except for you mindflipper? Did y'all manage to stick Mr. Brazil with the bill?!
  Glad M-oholic and Soarin' kept their cool.  That would have been annoying  
 
DUFFY!!! That's awesome Mouseoholic ~ it's sooooo cute
  (Ok, I almost said it with a straight face.  Nope, couldn't do it....still not a fan, but at least I don't hate him with a vengeance like some 
 )
Great report so far mindflipper ~ anxiously awaiting the rest. It almost reminds me of something that I'm supposed to be doing...hmmm, what was it?!

He not only got my applause for running the full marathon on Sunday, but also for having the courage to wear such a bold running fashion.

Re: Mayhem Marauders Meet-up Part Deux!
Just got off the phone with M-dude, looking forward to spending the morning with him and Mouseoholic at DAK on Wednesday! It's been so much fun to have people to go to the parks with this week before I start my job- perfect timing coming down when I did!
