Saw a bit of your trip on Instagram, can't wait to hear all the details!
Thank you so much for following!!
I love your vlogs. I hope this doesn't sound weird, but your voice is very soothing.
Haha thank you! I've never thought of my voice as soothing, I feel like I sound like an over-aged teenager, but thank you!
Slinky Dog Dash looks so fun at night! I can't wait to ride it this December!
It is great at night! I feel like I should just make all my FP for slinky dog at night.
I'm glad you were able to get your room changed. That door sounds super annoying.
It was super annoying! If I had to deal with that for a week I wouldn't be able to take it.
Food & Wine and Ohana on the same day? That sounds like an absolutely perfect food day to me! Looking forward to reading about it.
Definitely a real treat when we get to go to Ohana!
yes, last October when I took my mom for F&W and the Halloween party...we were booked in a regular room and pixie dusted with club level. club level was fine, but I'd have rather had a regular door!!
Ah yes I remember this. It's a tough toss up but yes I would be so annoyed at the door!
You and your sister are so much fun together! Enjoying your new trip report
Thank you so much!
I also had the Totchos and thought they were pretty yummy .
They were! They are like chilli cheese fries but so much better
BTW I am reading your TR right now as well and loving it. Will comment soon!
Do you happen to know how much a pressed penny book is? I found one of Amazon for $20. Wondering if I should buy it ahead of time or get one there??
They are around 12.95, and I believe you can get one on shop Disney online, so 20 bucks is way too much!
That was one long, jam-packed (no pun intended!) day! No wonder you were so exhausted!
It certainly was! And we've had our fair share of jam, at least chunkysis did!
Were you in a regular BC room or in the Villas? I stayed there once in a regular room and I loved it…that lobby smells amazing! That door staying open like that would make me crazy too. Happy they were able to move you!
OMG that lobby smells amazing, I want that scent for my house. I'm nervous to get the candles as I think they wouldn't exactly be the same but I may plunge and get one. We were in the regular rooms, we visited the DVC side building and it's gorgeous! I really want to stay in the DVC side one day. We did use their laundry though!
Loving your vlogs!
Thank you!
Loving your TR so far! September was too hot for us last year, going in three weeks and hoping for reasonable weather. Your dresses are so cute
Thank you!! Yes it was SUPER hot. I was melting every day. I keep saying I won't go back during Labor day but it's our 3rd labor day trip - it's just because it's so cheap during that time that it's hard to pass up a good deal!
Hmmmm, seems like you really didn't have the best luck at the resort! Between the accessible room not working very well for you guys, and then the weird TV issue. But I guess those are minor issues in the scheme of things. Good that they finally were able to get you moved at least!
No we did not have good room mojo in terms of getting what we wanted including a working TV, but I loved the location of our second room. it was so close to the market place that I didn't have to go far if I wanted to get something and we were so close to Epcot that it didn't matter and we barely watched TV on this trip anyways. But maybe on a different trip I'd have requested someone to come fix it.
Also, I shouldn't have read this update hungry, because now all I want in life is Teppan Edo, and a side of those tasty-looking totchos. Too bad that you weren't feeling super hungry with the impact of the heat—I know EXACTLY how this feels, having done May and August trips the last two summers. Uggh.
Yes! I'm not one to shy away from food at all (quite the opposite actually), but it really pained me to just not feel really in the mood to eat. It was mostly during the day though because the heat was just overwhelming. When I finally got used to it later in the week my appetite certainly returned!
Bummer on the accessible room. Of course they need to have them and I love how accessible Disney is overall but I would have been disappointed too. I haven't been to Teppan Edo in years... might be time to revisit. I'm also very intrigued by the new restaurant coming to the pavilion -- think it's a steakhouse? Ah, Steve and his hydroponics. How was his crop this year? I seriously think his basement garden is one of the best things I've ever heard. Alas, I am not very engineer/mechanically oriented and I have a black thumb of death so I don't think a garden of my own is in the cards. But I do love that ride. I am definitely putting totchos on my must-do list for my October trip!
Yeah i had hopped for a non accessible room considering that is what we had booked but at least they were able to move us. Teppan Edo is a good every so often restaurant for us. I too am also intrigued by the new restaurant. I am not sure what they will be serving but I hope it's something more traditional like kaiseki or something truly unique!
Seriously, without a PM or heads up, I'm going to miss new threads. Every. Single. Time. So sorry, ChunkyMonster.
No worries! I do that ALL the time. I am lucky I caught your new PTR/TR!!
YAY! You made it!
Yes! It was crazy how quickly that morning flew by but so happy to make it to Toy Story Land for the first time!
Yeah, I think with that many people, it just wasn't going to work- totally can see that. What a pain if you don't need it.
Yes, totally. It wasn't requested so I don't know why they gave it to us?
Nice package! The alcohol included really makes it far more worth it.
It was a good deal! We had great luck with all the packages!
Umm, that's not very long at all. Ruuuuuuuuuuun!
We sprinted to our room! Hahaha. Once inside we were ok because we didn't have to open the door again but that initial run was crazy!
Huh. You'd think that you'd have to specifically request an accessible room. I mean.. how many can they have?
Exactly! They kinda just stuck us there I suppose.
My youngest DD and I had a really nice time here. I'd go again.
Me too! It's always a fun time and the food is good.
Not a beer drinker, but... that looks really cool!
I like fruity and refreshing beers so this was right up my alley!
I'd be right there with Steve.
Continuing the bro-mance. I got it.
Hmmm... they look pretty good. Too bad.
Looks are deceiving! They weren't very flavorful and a bit dry.
I didn't know she was still performing. Huh!
I think she does the mall circuit and performs with other 80s and 90s acts.
Ew. But... the show must go on.
It must. Her dry cleaning bill must be insane!
Glad to hear! Haven't heard too many reviews yet.
It's a lot of fun and so cute! We loved it!
Hmmm... don't know if I'd order that... maybe?
It was quite yummy!
