For a stupid moment, I saw the name Stacey and thought you were about to talk about my cat!
Stacey
should do a segment on Poly dole whip! Human Stacey, not Cat Stacey. Or maybe...for the time being, I could produce a video of my cat, who's name just happens to also be Stacey J. Aswad (total coincidence!), and she could do some kind of a dubbed glowing review of Poly dole whip.
Yeah...now that's probably going to be a thing.
I love this about the Poly!
Oh Spaceship Earth! You big beautiful shining ball of hope and joy! I never get tired of taking pictures here.
I like the style of his artwork! Neat!
Woah, this totally messed with me that the land was blue and the water was green! For a moment I was like..."She's not in the ocean! What's she talking about?" Oops. Colours matter!
Yummmmm! These are the two things I'd absolutely want to eat!
Oooh, her loss! I love me some good octopus! My mom's husband is Greek and still has family there, so they go over to Greece every couple of years in the summer. They went for their honeymoon, and she said she had the best, freshest seafood she'd ever tasted (and we live on the east coast in fishing/lobster country!) Especially the octopus. But she said the octopus appetizer at Tiffins was almost to that level of perfection.
Mmm...I love me some good octopus.
I'm not surprised, because I'm pretty sure we would have done the exact same thing. I don't even understand how it's possible to eat so much at Disney. But we always do.
I feel like your cat would make an awesome "Must Do Dole Whip" video - she might not like the pineapple, but if she's anything like my dogs, the vanilla would be right up her alley. Penny and Olive, my chihuahua and shih tzu, see ice cream and flip out. It's not because I've fed them both the dregs from the bottom of a bowl with a spoon or anything...
Poly's location is such a winner! That and the food choices are the two main things it has going for it.
I love hearing that Tiffins octopus is right up there will the good stuff from Greece!
Maybe it's because we walk it off?? Matt and I were talking about it last night...when I was by myself I barely ate anything, and when it's hot I don't want anything, but then there are days when I don't understand how I shovel so much into my mouth
I'll try to watch this weekend!
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it was made just to sell merchandise. Clown Mater sounds adorable! BTW Josh is confused by my love of Mater he does not like him at all.
Oh yeah we saw people who had dressed their kids in matching outfits doing a full on photoshoot at the Grand, and the kids were too young to really cooperate so they were there for like a half hour!
Good to know
Ooo I was wondering if you got this after I texted you the pictures when we went. I'm glad you liked it too! It was my favorite booth.
Ooo pretty.
It doesn't count on vacation!
After the ending I can't wait for this week's episode. I am waaaay too invested in this show. iZombie comes back in a few weeks and I have to figure out how to add that back into my rotation. I still have to catch up on The Good Place
I would not be shocked if that's the whole reason they made cars 2. Those little metal cars flew off shelves.
It was the best food booth by far! I wish I had skipped everything else and just ate a million servings of the mac and cheese! Especially since it doesn't count as calories while on vacation
You and your mom are so cute! I love all your pics!
Thank you! I was worried about how the trip would go since we don't spend a ton of time together, but it was fun!
Glad to hear you and your mom aren't murderers
Glad it was a good lunch!
I'm sorry your mom didn't feel well after Star Tours. And a bummer to miss out on Olaf!
You two are so cute posing with the awards!
Ugh that dole whip picture is making me salivate right now (I don't care if it's not even 9am, I'd eat that for breakfast!)
Your photos of the China pavillion are so pretty!
Ah I'm sorry your feet started to hurt! Haha I do not blame you for stopping by the lounge to end the night though!!
LOL, I just figured I'd better reassure everyone
Yeah, it was a rough afternoon for her, but I was just grateful it was the only time she felt bad. She had me so freaked out before we left when she told me about all her separate meds, and what they were for, and how I needed to give her certain ones if she got really sick...I had moments where I just could not relax b/c I was so worried. A little nausea I can handle!
Dole Whip is pineapple so that's fruit, and fruit is 100% a breakfast food. I saw a thing online from the Dole Plantation in Hawaii where they scoop out the center of a halved pineapple and then put the dole whip in it and cover it in what looked like strawberry syrup. They need to add that at WDW!! It looked so good.
I couldn't resist the bonus desserts in the lounge
I've been so behind!
Because you have a bubble car to drive!
I wish we had tried the crema, even tho I'm not a strawberry fan. I think it was drizzled on something on the holiday booths and I liked it then. The mac and cheese was so good! I'm not an onion fan so I could have skipped those... I let DH eat them all
Bummer!
Perhaps they mist tequila into this ride... it's like scenting!
This is like me and DH, but unless something is cooked horribly wrong he thinks it's great. He's easy to please. I thought it was okay but such a huge portion! I would have happily paid the $4 or whatever for half the serving, ii was there to snack
This is how we felt last saturday...
Haha, that's a good point - I really need that bubble car now, b/c it might be really cool to live in the middle of the ocean!
I was really surprised by the crema! It was the perfect dessert, really light and fresh. I never dreamed it would be that good. I miss that mac and cheese every day
LOL, maybe tequila mist IS the reason it makes me so happy
I wanted to snack too! My mom is more of a meal person, and she kept asking about "real dinner". Snacking around the world is more fun to me!
Sorry you missed Olaf and that your mom was feeling unwell.
Yum! Poly Dole Whip
If I ever stay at the Poly I will probably get one every day!
We might make it up with Olaf...spoiler, haha
It was such a luxury having the dole whip right there! The pineapple/vanilla swirl is downfall!
I’m so glad your Mom liked FOP it’s such an amazing ride
EE too so much fun
ST bothers me sometimes too even though I love it
SciFi is a lot of fun but the last time we went the food was not good but that’s been a few years
May need to revisit it
Love the Poly so much when you return from the parks is so relaxing and beautiful there
Such a beautiful picture of the China pavilion with the sun setting
I was glad she liked it too! Although I was sorry I couldn't take her on it again - I didn't want to wait in that line!! I'm really curious to see what the future holds in terms of wait times for it.
We have had good luck with scifi, and I just love it so much! I understand about having a bad experience and it kind of putting you off. I'm that way about via napoli, even though I feel like I should love it. We didn't have a great meal there a couple years ago, and I just have no desire to go back.
I do love the ambiance at the Poly! It's fully immersive on the grounds, which is always a win in my book.
I wish I knew how to edit photos to take away some of the shadows because it's one of my favorite pictures ever!
Just binge read your report in two days. The title caught my eye since it had Polynesian in it. We just bought DVC points there but we haven't stayed there yet
.
Love the report, especially the poly pics and the Halloween decor. We already knew we wanted to try a
MNSSHP sometime soon. But now I really want to go just to see the Halloween decor. We've been there for the Christmas decor the last two years, which I love. But Halloween is my second favorite holiday.
Planning to hop over to your most recent TR next.
Hello and welcome!! We did the DVC tour in December 2016 and the Poly model rooms are what they had on display at Saratoga Springs. I love the layout of the studios there, I'm sure you'll love your first stay there as owners!!
Halloween is my favorite time of the year and i LOVED seeing all the jack-o-lanterns on Main Street, as well as everything else. I think I like the fall decor better than Christmas in the MK...maybe. It changes day to day, LOL!!
You'll have to let me know when you watch!!
