What do you want for your birthday?

Post by MadEye » Jun Tue 01, 2010 10:44 pm

The answer is simple. To Spend the day at Magic Kingdom and Epcot Center with a Dole Whip Float and a big *** Mickey shaped rice crisp treat!!!

It was a good day. Got the Mountain range (Big Thunder, Splash and Space) done. Pirates, Mansion, Jungle Cruise running smoothly. Country Bears and Pan's Flight were having issues. Lunch at Cosmic Rays in Tomorrowland. Awesome salad there, try it. Got Test Track, Soarin' and The Seas with Nemo out of the way. And thanks to Future Guy, I got a new shirt!!! :D

Only 2 pictures. Sorry, I had to:

Happy belated birthday!!!! :D

That is one gigundo Mickey rice krispie treat!!!!! I gotta get me one of those!!!! Yummy!!!

If WDW serves Dole Whips the same way as DL, the one pictured is the DW float, correct? You can get just the ice cream in a cup too.



(psst...I have 9 days til mine and I want to be at DCA for the World of Color debut...on my b-day!!!! alas, I won't be there :( )

Happy Birthday, MadEye!

I think if I remember right what MadEye had is what is sold in Adventureland as the Dole Whip Float. They do not call the ice cream "dole whip"- it's just referred to as soft-serve ice cream.

Never got to Club Cool. Treated myself to some Powerade because it was so freakin humid, though.

Of course I had to get the pic of the Mickey Krispie. That survival game with the snacks gave me the idea and yesterday, I had the money to spend.

And glad you like the shirt. A college friend of my mom's was a producer of that movie so it is special to my mom (it wasn't made for her or anything before you go wondering).

You can get a Dole Whip with just the pineapple ice cream too. I don't remember how big that is though (always got the float).

Yep it is huge. I've been partial to the smaller ones but I've seen that one around the parks for a while. They even make one that big with Mickey's face carved into it sometimes. It's expensive (almost $50) but would be so worth it!

I don't know about DL but I plan on getting one whenever I finally get there. Yes that is the Dole Whip Float and yes you can get just the ice cream.

And happy early Birthday! The debut of anything can be hell (just wait until the Harry Potter land opens at IoA in 16 days...) Waiting will be ok. Crowds should die down a little. Just believe and wish and you'll see it soon.

If I remember correctly, I think I do remember seeing "soft-serve" mentioned on the menu. Of course it was in smaller letters than the words "Dole Whip."

It is rather strange that I see this topic this AM since today IS my birthday. I won't give away my age but I can say that this will be my last birthday that starts with 4. All I really want for my birthday is to get caught up on my work so that we can leave for WDW and the Disney Wonder in about 92 hours knowing that everything will OK at work while I am gone.

Heck yes there is nothing better than enjoying your birthday (no matter how young you get) at WDW and knowing that everything is just dandy (don't start...) back at work. I've not been on one of the Disney Cruise's yet, so I can't say anything about it... yet.

Yay! Image Happy Birthday! I hope you get everything done so you can relax and enjoy ~ don't forget a trip report for all us poor folks who haven't been on a Disney cruise yet but are curious what they are like! :D

Oh. I forgot to mention to you Jacca... The day after, I got an "Off To See the Lizard" at Margaritaville at Universal Citywalk. Volcano wasn't working though. :(

On a side note, I must say BubbaGump is an awesome restaurant!!
