The Great Make Up Trip Of 2008~7/22- SEE YOU REAL SOON! (pg. 86) ~COMPLETED~

[Blueyed Girl]

Sorry guys, I still haven't found my pics from 1997. I know they are here somewhere I just have 3 huge boxes to look through. My mom didn't have the '84 pictures. She said she thought she had them but perhaps my dad has them. Who knows!! I will just continue to concentrate on '97 for now.

We aren't picky, we just like Pics....

Well,I do

So sorry to hear about your washing machine!

I like Electric Umbrella in Epcot, but haven't really tried many CS locations there.

 

[englishrose47]

Good morning Blue!!

 

[Sooze]

We LOVE Electric Umbrella... not sure why.. it's just become a tradition!

Can't wait to see pictures...

Ok, I was planning on talking about what Counter Service meals we may be doing but that will have to wait till the end of this update.

Today my washing machine died. I washed a load of clothes and it worked fine. I got to the 2nd load and it just died!! Can you freakin' believe it?? Do you think the ticket had anything to do with it?? Perhaps I should put it back under the washer to see if it starts working again. Needless to say, I was aggravated again today. Seems like stupid things just never stop around here. So, I was dealing with this today. Plus, doing workbooks with DS plus running errands. Then DS's soccer game was this evening. So, by the time we got home we had enough time to eat and clean DS up and put him to bed. I didn't get to look through the picture box.
The neat thing is that tomorrow I will head to my mothers to do my laundry because there is no way I'm letting it build up for 3 days until DH can go pick up a new washer. She has the pictures of our trip in 1984....or so she says. I haven't seen these in years!! I will be looking for those while at her house tomorrow. Then hopefully when we get home, I can go find the one's from 1997.

Ok, so on to the Counter Service locations.......
These are the one's we tend to enjoy or are considering trying this time:
Magic Kingdom:
Cosmic Rays
Columbia Harbour House
We were able to try both of these last time and didn't get a bad meal at either one. They are staying on our list!

EPCOT
Le Cantina De San Angel (Mexico) - We did this one last time and it was OK. I think the only reason I'm not saying "good" was because I really don't remember what it tasted like. I was sick, the wind was blowing all the food off of the table, and it started raining on us while we were eating. We may give this another try. Not sure though because there are so many to choose from in Epcot!
Electric Umbrella - May try if we are in the vicinity when it's time to eat.
Liberty Inn- This is on the list in case we can't find anything else that appeals to us in WS

ANIMAL KINGDOM
We are doing lunch for this one at Yak & Yeti so we probably won't be doing a CS here. But our list is:
Flame Tree
Pizzafari
Restaurantosaurus (McDonalds)

DISNEYS HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
Toy Story Pizza Planet - DS has already "told" us we are eating here.
Toluca Turkey Legs - this is for DH because he STILL hasn't been able to try that darn turkey leg!!

So that's our CS in a nutshell. What are your favorite Counter Service locations at Epcot??

Bummer on the washing machine!! I hate when things like that happen Is there a scratch and dent appliance place around you? If so I recommend going there for a new washer. We got our new dryer at Appliance Smart and got more than half off because someone sent it back with a dent in it. It works perfectly. Who cares about the dent.

Can't wait to see your old disney pictures. It's always fun to look back.

As for CS meals....The Columbia Harbor House is good. Pinocchio's is also good if you want to try something new.

Pizza Planet at MGM is great. I'd recommend going on an off time though because right at lunch it is SLAMMED! I can't believe your DH has never had a turkey leg. Yum!!!

And EPCOT is kind of a bummer on the CS meals. There's really not much to choose from and what there is really isn't that great. We always default to Electric Umbrella because it has the standard hamburgers and chicken tenders.

only CS I ate at in Epcot was Electric Umbrella and it was good.

I do too!

How are you??? Hope everything is going well and you are feeling better.
Electric Umbrella seems to be the one to have on the list!

Good morning Blue!!

Seems like EU is the place to be! Or at least as a solid back up.

Hmmm, I don't think we have a store like that around here. Sounds neat though.

Pinocchio's is going on my list too! If I can get DH and DS to try something new, this may be it.

only CS I ate at in Epcot was Electric Umbrella and it was good.

Electric Umbrella is defnitely on the list. Seems like a good place to have as a back up. Especially with 2 picky eaters in the family.

BTW, I am LOVING your new TR graphics in your siggie!! Too cute and I wish I would have thought of it. I'm jealous!!

Hope you can convince them

Some of you may remember the bag dilema in my last PTR. I was trying to find a bag that could fit my camera and my video camera as well as my regular park neccessities. Well, now I have another bag dilema. My last bag is not big enough for my new camera. The camera is not a perfect rectangle so it will not fit. I'm having to shop around for a bigger bag. I really like the messenger bags that Disney shopping has but I'm only 5' 3" so those look like they would be bigger than what I'd want to lug around all day everyday. I just ordered the bag below. I think it's cute! It's another sling type bag but it's a little bigger. It says it can hold a binder in the large pocket, so it SHOULD be able to hold my camera in there. We shall see if this is the bag for me when I get it, I suppose. I just hope it's not TOO big. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

 

[carissanboys]

Ohhhhh - a new bag!

Awesome! Keep us posted when it arrives. You know I'm always looking for a new bag every trip I take

I love getting a new bag! I was excited when I realized I would have to get one for this trip too.

I love bags!
You changed your name to Kyle?

My first thought after clicking "submit" was that someone on here is going to say something about the bag saying "Kyle" on it.

My 2nd thought was "I bet it's Winkers!"

Did you see the "you know what" that I sent your DH? If you guys don't like it I can try something else.

Nice bags! Isn't shopping for a trip so much fun?

Thanks! Yes it is!!
How are you feeling?? Hope you are getting well.
