Beware of Poachers and Look at the Little Gorillas! 3 trips in 1. NEW TR started 8/31/19**

[disneyAndi14]

That sounds great. I've never had shawarma, but would like to. Some day.


Nice!

I really recommend the Shawarma platter and it is fun to say, try saying that 3x
This will be the 3rd time we have been able to have dinner with our Minnesota friends!

 

[disneyAndi14]

Great plans! Gotta love that Landry’s card!

Thank you Jenny!! I wish there were more places to use the card but I do love Y&Y so I’m good!!

 

[disneyAndi14]

We will be going in Sept for F&W and staying at BWV. The beginning of our trip we will be at US for 3 nights. I love HP and butter beer!!! I'm throwing around Portofino or Hard Rock. We have stayed at Royal Pacific past trips. Love the front of the line passes!!

I do love HP, DA and Hogsmeade are so immersive and in the summer the Frozen Butter Beer is so refreshing! We have stayed at RPR 1x and really liked it but Portofino was actual cheaper than both of these! I absolutely love the EP perk at these hotels

I love the Boardwalk area especially when Epcot has a festival going on so convenient!!

Welcome and thanks for saying hi

 

[disneyAndi14]

I've given up on trying to catch up...too many things I keep reading and want to reply...ill never get there. So now, I'm working my way backwards to find where you started on the EGT.

So...for you and @MeghanEmily and @tracey161 (hope I got that right...its not popping up a list of people like it used to), if y'all let me know your dates/plans, I'll try to help out if I can and make sure there's a cheescake ready.

Hi Doc!! Thanks for working your way through the report. I will definitely stay in touch and hope it works out to meet up with you with Tracy and Meghan! A little cheesecake wouldn’t hurt anything either!!

 

[disneyAndi14]

Hey I had no idea the dessert parties had savoury items too!! I wonder if all of them do? Sounded really good!

I think they started adding the savory items a few years ago, not sure when but I really like having that to balance all the sweet options! I think the price for the SW Party is not bad with all the options, alcohol, and the souvenir Darth Vader cup, as long as Disney doesn’t increase it again!!

 

[disneyAndi14]

I will do that! (once I figure that out myself ) Yay!

Yes we will have some meet up planning to do!!

 

[disneyAndi14]

Glad y'all clicked. I wish I'd gotten more of a chance to get to know them and spend more time with all of you. Y'all were at the other table at Ohana and having to work when everyone else is on vacation stinks!

We really did click, it was like we had known each other a long time! Disney does that to people! It was hard to visit at Ohana with the tables setup like they were! I’m glad I got to say hi and have some cheesecake!

Were they telling you to make like fish with your mouths?

Yes, I was terrible at it as you can see

Oh...that's not good. Sorry to hear you had to cut the night short. Drinking water is important, especially here. I don't recall for sure, but I think it was warmer than normal in May and with the winter y'all had, in sure the heat had a greater impact than normal.

Oh my gosh, my heart started beating so fast and I thought for sure I was going down, it was scary! I’m so usually so good about drinking water and I was just so excited this evening I went to long without water!

Storm along bay...I understand why eveeyone loves it...the sand vs. Concrete under foot is my favorite (well okay maybe lazy river) part.

I loved the sandy bottom, it was so soothing on the feet, haha!

Very cool!
Tell her I and PR said hi.

I sure will, hope all is well with PR!!

Happy
belated mothers day Caroline.

Ahh Thanks, Happy Father’s Day since it is fast approaching!

Can't blame her at all. I was there for a small bit and I'm jealous I couldn't spend more time with everyone. Stupid work!

She was really jealous of the VIP tour, don’t you just hate when we actually have to work and not be at Disney all the time

knew about the VIP tour(jealous) and the blue angels flyover (jealous again).

This was such a wonderful surprise for me, once in a lifetime for sure!

Jenny S? Not Jenn, right?

Yes Jenny S, it was a hoot sitting next to her, she was freaking out but in a good way!

thought y'all were giggling too much. Although the consensus seems to be the driver was about as exciting as watching paint dry.

It was really funny and we did have the giggles but by the end we were fading!

would like to do this, but without the kind of pixie dust y'all got, not sure I can justify the cost.

The cost is craaazy!! Out of my budget!

So y'all were just ignoring your patients at the same time.
Good picture

We needed a break from all our patients haha! Thanks!

I'm not a big fan of the SW fireworks ...I guess I'm just too old or too set in my ways...I like the original SW much MUCH better than the new. The show seems discombobulated to me because it bounces from old to new and back so much. At least the projections are easy to see unlike on the castle with HEA. Still miss wishes.
I guess I'm just turning into a grumpy old man. GET OFF MY LAWN!!
The Darth Vader cup might be worth it.

I really enjoyed this, it was just the right amount of food choices, people, and the company was great! I do miss Wishes, however, HEA is growing in me! Andi is bitter about it still! The Darth Vader mug is cool! I’m giving it to my son Jack, he loves Darth Vader!

I know those 4 pretty ladies!

Ahh Thank you!!

I'm not a big croissant person, but did like the cronut

These folks are used to my poor TR skills, but you're slipping

It was really freeing on this trip to not be taking pictures all the time and I didn’t even write any notes, can you believe that!!

Dang! You're making me hungry and I already ate.

I was surprised how good everything was this year, I really liked almost all my choices!!

 

[disneyAndi14]

I had gotten so behind again! Shocker. I'm looking forward to seeing your plans for the next days coming up soon, because we should get in around the 20th.

Yay!! I will be posting soon! It will be so fun to say Hi again in steamy August!!

 

[pkondz]

I really recommend the Shawarma platter and it is fun to say, try saying that 3x

I did.
I got some odd looks and I'm hungry now.

This will be the 3rd time we have been able to have dinner with our Minnesota friends!

Now you just need to have dinner with someone north of there.

 

[disneyAndi14]

Now you just need to have dinner with someone north of there.

Yes for sure!! If you head down to Duluth again, let me know!!

I got some odd looks and I'm hungry now.

I’m always craving Disney food on here, I can’t imagine why!

TP notes for 8/20/19.





Start at Epcot,












Ride Soarin first, breakfast ADR at Garden Grill, ride Lwtl and SE, pictures at the bubblegum wall, of course! shop a little around the WS then rest up at YC before MNSSHP.





FP PPF, BTMR, JC. Will need to do FP starting at about 2:30. Party with some Dis friends! The Disers at this party so far are @Tracy161, @StarWarsMomofGirls!, @Newsies. I hope to say Hi to them all!





Maybe, try to meet the 7 Dwarfs if I have the wait in me, try at least one new meet and greet.


Here are the 2 character meets from last party.




This will be a fun day, I hope it doesn’t rain at the party! I’m not sure what food choices we will do after the Garden Grill Breakfast. We may snack on Totcho’s or Hades Nachos at the party. I wish the party date would have matched up with our GF stay but not a big deal, I would much rather do a Tuesday party than a Friday one. We have found the Tuesday ones in August are very low crowds, I sure hope it is!
We always stay until midnight because we find the second parade is much less busy! We have to see the parade it is my favorite!! I want to make a point this party to try some of the special food offerings! Last year it was literally still feeling like 90 degrees at midnight so eating was not something we were interested in. It was Hades Hot that night!!

Stay tuned for more PTR updating coming soon. The next day we move to GF!! Excited to be on the monorail loop and close to the delicious pulled pork nachos at The Poly

 

[pkondz]

Yes for sure!! If you head down to Duluth again, let me know!!

I’m always craving Disney food on here, I can’t imagine why!

People! Stop posting all the yummy food porn!

 

[pkondz]

Ride Soarin first, breakfast ADR at Garden Grill, ride Lwtl and SE, pictures at the bubblegum wall, of course! shop a little around the WS then rest up at YC before MNSSHP.

Whoa! Busy day!
You're gonna be asleep before your head hits the pillow.

We always stay until midnight because we find the second parade is much less busy!

We have to see the parade it is my favorite!!

Absolutely!

 

[suse66]

Ride Soarin first, breakfast ADR at Garden Grill, ride Lwtl and SE, pictures at the bubblegum wall, of course! shop a little around the WS then rest up at YC before MNSSHP.

Those are our exact last day plans at Epcot......well minus YC and MNSSHP of course!

Stay tuned for more PTR updating coming soon. The next day we move to GF!! Excited to be on the monorail loop and close to the delicious pulled pork nachos at The Poly

Two awesome resorts! You are going to have a great trip!

 

[Steppesister]

Resort stay Yacht Club, very excited to stay here again! I just stayed for the first time in May and I loved it. I know Andi will really enjoy it.

YC and BC are 2 I've not done yet. Maybe someday.... I love the Stormalong Bay pool for sure and how close they are to EPCOT.

Love this!

So cute!! This is the one shot I didn't get, so it's a goal this year.

Hades Nachos

I'd still like to try those. I did the Meunster burger last year and loved it, so may stick with that.

 

[docsoliday1]

We really did click, it was like we had known each other a long time! Disney does that to people! It was hard to visit at Ohana with the tables setup like they were! I’m glad I got to say hi and have some cheesecake!

Yeah, unfortunately, with that large of a group, it wasn't possible to visit with everyone.
Another reason I wish I'd been able to work less and spend more time with y'all.

Yes, I was terrible at it as you can see

You were fine...I just was thinking it was comical...it's not as if ARIEL makes that face.

Oh my gosh, my heart started beating so fast and I thought for sure I was going down, it was scary! I’m so usually so good about drinking water and I was just so excited this evening I went to long without water!

I'm glad you caught it in time.

Ahh Thanks, Happy Father’s Day since it is fast approaching!

Thank you.

She was really jealous of the VIP tour, don’t you just hate when we actually have to work and not be at Disney all the time

Work stinks, but then again, that's what allows us to do Disney.

Yes Jenny S, it was a hoot sitting next to her, she was freaking out but in a good way!

I've never met her, but it would've kinda been cool to see. Since I've ridden it multiple times, I know enjoy people watching on FOP...the reactions of some folks are so cool.

The cost is craaazy!! Out of my budget!

I think it's way out of most people's. That's why someone doing that for that large a group is a whole lot of pixe dust (and $$$$s)

I really enjoyed this, it was just the right amount of food choices, people, and the company was great! I do miss Wishes, however, HEA is growing in me! Andi is bitter about it still! The Darth Vader mug is cool! I’m giving it to my son Jack, he loves Darth Vader!

Remind me to do my Darth Vader impression for you next time we meet. I think (and I've been told) it's pretty good.
HEA is just too busy for me...I find I spend too much time trying to figure out what the projections are because there's no real story behind it like with wishes. The fireworks are not as prolific either and since I like fireworks, just all around not nearly as good (for me)

 

[Newsies]

Hope I can say hi to you at MNSSHP!!

 

[disneyAndi14]

Whoa! Busy day!
You're gonna be asleep before your head hits the pillow.

This is very true!! If the heat is a factor as well, I will be exhausted by midnight and ready for bed!!

Those are our exact last day plans at Epcot......well minus YC and MNSSHP of course!

Yay!! I am really looking forward to the GG breakfast, it has been a favorite of ours! I have found my self booking more breakfasts this trip, for sure my favorite!

Two awesome resorts! You are going to have a great trip!

I agree, our resort stays this August make me very happy, I hope they live up to you expectations!

YC and BC are 2 I've not done yet. Maybe someday.... I love the Stormalong Bay pool for sure and how close they are to EPCOT.

I love these resorts for the pool and short walk to Epcot, Andi has a pool phobia, I will be enjoying the pool by myself, whomp whomp! The sandy bottom is so pleasant on my tired feet, love it!!

Love this!

Ahh Thanks, I get a wall picture of myself every once in awhile, I have 100’s of Andi, haha!

So cute!! This is the one shot I didn't get, so it's a goal this year.

It was over by PoC which was an odd spot, I love the magic shots at the party, always fun!!

I'd still like to try those. I did the Meunster burger last year and loved it, so may stick with that.

Where was the burger? That one I didn’t even know about, I may have to try it!!

Work stinks, but then again, that's what allows us to do Disney.

This is so true!!

Remind me to do my Darth Vader impression for you next time we meet. I think (and I've been told) it's pretty good.

I will, I love Darth Vader!!

Hope I can say hi to you at MNSSHP!!

Hi Kaitlyn!! I have been reading your PTR, we have several things in common, the party and staying at GF! I hope we can say hi

 

[pkondz]

This is very true!! If the heat is a factor as well, I will be exhausted by midnight and ready for bed!!

Lol. When is the heat not a factor. Have a nice sleep!
