Not after you have a few drinks ;)
Are you now proposing they get drunk BEFORE the monorail crawl? :?: :?
Nah, after the first stop you could still say "ADVENTURERS!!!"
By the second stop you could say "GERONIMOOOOOOO!""
And after the last stop, all you could get out would be gibberish that sounded a lot like "HSOOLAGNUK!" :lol:
(Yes, I had to rearrange to toast to make it fit) :roll:

That's my thought exactly...we decided if we were ever in a position that we could attempt it, we sould be splitting those cupcakes!!! :shock: There's no way we could each eat one at each stop!!!!

It still looks like it would be pretty sugary ~ even splitting them you would be eating 5 cupcakes, and those can be quite large. You should take someone along to help ~ I'll graciously make the sacrifice!! ;) :lol:

Here's the link:

They just came out with a new challenge...and it sounds super yummy, super fattening, but something we would definitely love to try if we get to WDW. The cupcake crawl!
http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2011/05/3 ... ake-crawl/

Though I would not suggest trying both in one day!!!! :shock: :mrgreen: :lol:
Ugh ~ I don't even think I could eat 10 cupcakes in a single day :shock: Much less mix it with alcohol :shock:
No, not alcohol, just lots and lots of milk to wash it down (given how fattening the cupcakes are, you'll want fat-free milk each time)...

You could always go the super-model route, just make sure you pack enough breathmints.

Ok...I have not written my Trip Report yet...but I figured I could give a report on this part at least right now...

DW and I decided to do the Monorail Crawl on our trip last month. Here is what we did:

1) GF: Drinks at Mizner's Lounge
2) Cont: Drinks and dinner at The Wave
3) Poly: Dessert @ Kona, Drinks, and Wishes from the beach

Step 1

We were staying at Bay Lake Tower so our journey began at the Monorail station inside of the Contemporary.
Image

We rode the monorail all the way to the GF...what a beautiful resort!
Image Image

On to the Mizner's Lounge!
Image Image

I got Glenfiddich 12 on the rocks and DW got a Raspberry concoction that was very good.
Image Image

We then walked around the GF as we enjoyed our drinks and the sights.
Image Image Image Image Image Image Image

Drinks done...now leaving GF to head to the Contemporary...
Image

To be continued...

Fun! I'm glad you took the time to do the monorail crawl. When you have filled us in on the whole journey, you will have to let us know if you thought it was time well spent!
Love the inlaid floors at the Grand Floridian :D
