Thank you DonnaMy condolences to you for your MIL
And thank you again on both counts and a big CONGRATS!!! It is truly the most amazing thing ❤ It's just a different kind of love! When is your grandbaby due to arrive?Congratulations on your grandbaby and on good news for Ricky's knee! Finally able to share that I will be in the Grandma club next year as well!
I hope you had a nice vacation! I'm sure you'll get back to WDW; we all get back lol. Rainforest was a nice surprise! I think some of these chains are a good thing because while the food might note be out of this world fantastic it's consistently good and "normal" with large menus so you have lots of choicesBut one day I hope to be back to DW and if the timing works out I might have to go to RFC again to see if they still have the shrimp dish that I enjoy!
Truth be told Steve and I preferred the holiday tag on Illuminations over the holiday fireworks at MK but sadly it won't be the same there next year with the new show. Very happy we got to see it this once!
That’s awesome! I’ve been wanting to try T-Rex for the nachos so it bodes well that Rainforest was solid!I have to say, we were pretty darn impressed with RC!
for any of you that have been living under a rock for the past 8 months and haven't seen pics of the holiday decor in TSL, here:
We waited until about 10
That is. Very! Brown.I admit I wasn't really in the mood for chicken at 8:50 in the morning as I'm a huge breakfast food person but the potato barrels, donuts and yes even the chicken were all delicious! I mean it was like being at RFC all over again with the surprise lol.
I have tried grits once and never will again (sorry southerners
Okay you’re redeemed. She’s the best!Hi Gertie!
Hahahaha this sounds like some kind of euphemism. For what, I’m not sure. Also showers are definitely perfect at a midday break, so now you’ve been warned away from dirty morning hugs from melinda, I jumped out of bed and hit HS dirty
I do love that you guys are going even though you don't like the movies... Looking forward to see you!!!!came out of this besides her being in a better place is that Steve and I booked a quick August Disney getaway complete with a SWGE preview Which is going to be super interesting for these 2 non SW fans!
MK is DEF lacking solid table service places. I feel like in a lot of ways they just rely on the location of most of the places.And it's sad because I feel TS in the MK is severely lacking and this used to be a decent choice.
I MISS YOU TOO ❤Catching up here too. Gosh I miss you!
Well turn the flame up on that baby!I am so glad I got to say goodbye to Illuminations in July. But still chewing on the idea of coming down 1-2 days in August. Haven’t brought it up with R yet but still marinating on it...
Oooh, Nachos Now I need to go to T-Rex.........That’s awesome! I’ve been wanting to try T-Rex for the nachos so it bodes well that Rainforest was solid!
Why yes I am, by about -20 years lol!I’m sorry, are you actually younger than me?! You look amazing in this photo!!!
But I wish I were in DixieYa dang yankee!
lol it does! Now I won't rest until I figure out for whatHahahaha this sounds like some kind of euphemism. For what, I’m not sure.
thank you! It was a rare and surprising moment when they agree to wait in lineYour lantern picture came out so well - love that all your boys were willing to wait and pose
My friend/fellow TA are staying there for work in Oct and I'm going to seriously try talking her in to adding CL because it's so awesome there!And yaaaaay WL CL! I can’t wait for you to make me jealous... hahaha
Thank you Yeah it was sad at BOG too but I'm glad you enjoyed your meal! I think we were just so hyped for it to be the way it always had been for us and it wasn't. If Chris begged or I went with someone who really wanted to go - possibly my DIL next year- I'd be totally willing to try it again.I'm sorry about your MIL and your meal at Be Our Guest. I've been once since the new changes and actually had a really good meal. I ordered some different dishes than you. If you ever decide to go back I hope you have a better meal.
I can't wait to see you all!! I figure it's for "research" first of all lol plus then I'll maybe understand a bit more when all you SW freaks start talking your crapdo love that you guys are going even though you don't like the movies... Looking forward to see you!!!!
I agree, they rely on the theming of CRT and BOG and don't spruce up Tony's or CP at all. I do like the Plaza and Skipper's the one time we went but overall, definitely 2nd lowest on the totem pole after HS as far as TS restaurants goMK is DEF lacking solid table service places. I feel like in a lot of ways they just rely on the location of most of the places.
You're speaking my language, Ariane!That's how I feel! Every time we're close to a vacation and I tell myself to watch what I eat so I can eat what I want when we're away - I just continue to eat what I want at home AND away lol!
Better late than never, right?!HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!!!
Beyond beautiful!!!Please excuse the non food pics but I can never resist posting pictures of my wonderful Lodge , especially during the holidays:
Totally excused. I love that resort!Please excuse the non food pics but I can never resist posting pictures of my wonderful Lodge , especially during the holidays:
Speaking of the 4th we had a great time and there are truly no July 4th fireworks like 4th of July Disney fireworks. Not even Macy's beats them! Truth be told Steve and I preferred the holiday tag on Illuminations over the holiday fireworks at MK but sadly it won't be the same there next year with the new show. Very happy we got to see it this once!
I have to say, we were pretty darn impressed with RC! With all the great dining options in the World it's not someplace I was dying to eat or excited to try; I was kind of bummed to be "wasting" stomach space eating here. Now I'm not in a rush to eat here again simply because the food is basic and I rather go with more interesting places but it's a solid place to eat if you have picky eaters, can't get a reservation at any other AK TS or are in the mood for good burgers or ribs I guess!
Ha! I jest. To make a long story short we really enjoyed it and I'd do it again even though my beloved TOT isn't part of it; oh and for any of you that have been living under a rock for the past 8 months and haven't seen pics of the holiday decor in TSL, here:
We waited until about 10 minutes before EMM ended to go to breakfast as I feel this is how you get the most out of your time! Breakfast was in ABC Commissary:
so we hit our favorite DS lounge, Jock Lindsay's!
I got my Jock's go-to:
Cool-headed Monkey
Starr African Rum, Van Der Hum Tangerine Liqueur, fresh Lime Juice, Watermelon, and Pineapple Juice
I don't think I need to tell you what Steve got..........
I LOVE the cool headed monkey and told Steve next time we go I want to buy the cup!
it didn't stop the boys from doing something else new to all of us before we returned to our resort:
Hi all, as is my MO it's been way to long since I updated. As many of you know we've had a rather big couple of weeks; some good some bad. First on July 19th our 2nd grandchild, a grandson was born! Carter Paul is my younger stepson's child and we couldn't be happier, everyone is doing well. Then a couple days later Ricky got cleared by his surgeon to go back to playing sports, NO RESTRICTIONS, after his 2 ACL tears and almost 2 years out. This was the absolute best news we'd heard in forever!
And that was that! By that I mean most likely the last time we eat dinner at BOG with the current menu.
After that we took this cute family pic that surprisingly everyone was on board with standing in line for:
Chris was a little too cool for it:
Please excuse the non food pics but I can never resist posting pictures of my wonderful Lodge , especially during the holidays:
One day we will be pixie dusted with an upgrade! One day...We checked in and requested CL, our room wasn't ready which was fine but we were able to go right up to the lounge and we did!
It really is just beautiful! I can't wait to see it this November!
