Nah, after the first stop you could still say "ADVENTURERS!!!"mindflipper wrote:Are you now proposing they get drunk BEFORE the monorail crawl?Amy wrote:Not after you have a few drinksmindflipper wrote:I think it's easier to say "Geronimo" than "hsoolagnuk"...![]()
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!"

(Yes, I had to rearrange to toast to make it fit)

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!!!theBIGyowski wrote:ok...I love cupcakes...but that would seriously put me in a sugar coma

Re: Monorail Night (aka the Monorail Crawl)
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!!MmeLeota wrote: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!!!theBIGyowski wrote:ok...I love cupcakes...but that would seriously put me in a sugar comaThere's no way we could each eat one at each stop!!!!

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)...Amy wrote:Ugh ~ I don't even think I could eat 10 cupcakes in a single dayMmeLeota wrote:It's funny, I just read about the monorail crawl a couple of days ago on the Disney Food Blog. (just discovered that such a thing exists!)
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!

Though I would not suggest trying both in one day!!!!![]()

Much less mix it with alcohol

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.

We rode the monorail all the way to the GF...what a beautiful resort!
On to the Mizner's Lounge!

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

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

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

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!
