All of the cocktails do look amazing! I ordered the Blackberry Margarita last May and it was yummy. I actually had 2 but felt like I needed a proper nap after being out in the sun. So I went back to RPR and took one while DH and DD went to the pool. Evidently I'm a cheap date, according to my husband.
[/QUOTE]I am excited to try Jake's on our next trip. I was showing our son (also a one and only) the pictures and when he found out that the theme of the restaurant is aviation based...he was sold. And from looking at the pictures...I think that I am sold on the flaming volcano/tiki bowl drink!
I'm happy to see another trip report! I love how you all have so much fun together! <3
Enjoying following along on your latest trip report. We overlapped with you on night (the 15th) at RPR. It was our only night there and really enjoyed it and wished we'd had more time to enjoy the hotel as it is absolutely lovely. While the weather was beautiful and warmer than the snow at home, I wouldn't have minded a bit more heat. It definitely got cool at night.
The Mardi Gras festivities and cocktails look wonderful! Love seeing the Wizarding World details too!
Yay - another trip report!
I’m sorry we never ran into you on the 15th.........I joked with Tom in the Club Lounge we should walk around the hotel shouting prairiesarah and see if anyone replied.........lol....... maybe not the best idea.........
Yes, it did get cooler at night.......I’ll bet in September I’ll be wishing for a little of that cooler breeze.......
I would have found that quite amusing had I run into you, DH on the other hand would have wondered about you....
I walked out of the elevator that morning and just about went back for a sweater - definitely a bit of a chill, but I was determined to not wear one on my last morning in Florida! We walked across the pool deck to take a look on our way to the walking path and I felt bad for the lifeguards - they looked like they were freezing. We must have just missed each other that day - we looped into US to take the Hogwarts Express then through Hogsmeade for a ride on the Flight of the Hippogriff then DS checked out the Jurassic Discovery Centre while I went out back and took some photos.
I've been mulling over potential dates for another trip. I currently have a secret plan for December, but will see if i can pull that off, otherwise potentially February. I'd really like a straight stay at RPR or PBH rather than broken up like this trip. Would make for a bit more relaxing trip and allow us to see a few other things in Orlando that I'd like to see.
Years ago I was on a Mardi Gras float with my daughter. Only time I’ve been during MG. What an amazing memory that is. Now that my kids are grown and I do mostly adults only trips, I will have to remember to come back during MG. Looks like a fabulous time.
I am enjoying your trip report as always. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Your last set of pictures look like the park was deserted.........
