A Nicki and Todd dining review...with the nieces!! LIVE from the Poly!

Ooooooh...I know what is coming next! I hope it was as good as the first time you went. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I cannot thank you enough for recommending this place...it is just amazing, we have been here twice and the food is outstanding, the service is the best I have ever had anywhere and yes it is pricey but soooo worth it!

I am so happy! And tell Todd he owes me BIG TIME. I don't know what he owes me, but I'll think of something. :rotfl:

And I think you are a terrific aunt for taking the girls. I'm hoping for warmer weather and less "tour groups" for you tomorrow.
 
Ooooo thank you so much for the Hawaii garden view pics!!

I'll be staying GVCL in Sept 2009 and its nice to see that perspective.
 
I just want to take this moment to give all you guys that have kids a shout out...YOU ARE AMAZING!

How do you guys do it? I asked the 6 year old five times, do you have to go the bathroom...NO she says...then we get in line and she says I have to go the bathroom NOW! Do you have any idea how many times she did that to me??

Or swinging the chains in the ride lanes? Or not holding my hand in a crowd? Or being a picky eater? Or having a temper tantrum? Cant even sit next to my own husband, the little one keeps getting in the way ;) All these things that used to irk me as a non parental unit now I completely understand!

You guys are my heros...now I need another drink....where's the Tylenol??

He owes you a drink! We need to go at at the same time and drinks are on Todd! I hope it warms up, we have had the heat on in the room the last 3 days! Nothing like seeing the Volcano pool every morning and not being able to use it....poor kids are going nutty!

You lucky thing! The kids and I walked the beach and the view from the lounge is the most wonderful thing ever!

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Welcome to our world! Just keep drinking...it will help. And then they'll grow up and you'll wonder where the he** the years went to and wish they were little again...even if they aren't yours.

:rotfl: I don't even remember the last time I sat next to my husband! I have the kid thing figured out, for me the worst is when my MIL is with us. On our trip in September we spent soooo much time in the bathroom. 5 kids in the group could all go to the bathroom at the same time, but it NEVER failed, 15 minutes later the MIL would have to use the restroom!!!
 


You guys are a wonderful Auntie and Uncle to take your neices to Disney!!
 
Mickeynicki. How was the fried lobster? I love anything, and everything fried. Was it worth the price? I am thinking of going here to celebrate my birthday, and fried lobster, sounds like the ticket!

Here is some friendly advice about kids..... what i do to avoid this situation in the parks is say to my daughter I'm going to potty why don't you come try to.


Sure enough it always works. Goood Luck thank god for pain relievers and beverages at dinner right.

I'm really enjoying your review thanks for sharing your vacation with us.

What makes it all worthwhile is when you hear your little one ( in this case your niece) say it was the best day of her life. :goodvibes And as Katmark said, the years go by way too fast and before you know it your child is an adult. Enjoy the rest of your trip with the girls, hug them often and have a nice relaxing drink or two at night. :thumbsup2
 
NICKI!!! We were at Fulton's last night too! I can't believe we missed you! We sat at the bar and had 2 Mai Tai's each...we needed them after the rough travel day w/DH and all his ailments. Had the great calamari, some oysters and yummy stone crab claws...

Oh well, maybe we will see you today at Epcot, I will be pushing DH in a wheelchair so keep your eyes open for us, I'll look for a tired auntie with a Grey Goose lemon slushie! :)

Hopefully it will be warmer today (we haven't ventured out and about yet...)

This made me laugh :rotfl2: Hey, atleast you haven't been thrown up on, asked where do babies come from, screamed at for picking out the wrong outfit to wear to school and have snot rubbed on your shirt, . Oh, and you get to sleep beside your husband...just wait...we usually have a kid in bed with us every other night it seems :crowded:

**secretly it's all good though**

Loving your reviews :thumbsup2 I can't believe how cold it is though. Is that typical? We have never been this time of year.

Couldn't have said it better!:thumbsup2

Nicki - I'm so glad Fulton's once again impressed, we LOVED it!
 
Todd and I had to get a drink so I had the Mai Tai with the 151 floater and over the course of dinner had a second one. Goodness this thing is incredible.

You really are my long lost twin :cool1: :rotfl2: :lmao: The rest of dinner sounded good too, but I love Mai Tai's and the 151 floater is like the cherry on top :thumbsup2

:rotfl2: that is to funny... kids can be a big ol pain in the rump, but they do have another side.. and that keeps us moms going... ;) I have a 11 yr old the never lets me sit, stand walk beside my husband.. since he is the last of 3.. I have grown used to it... my hubby still hates it though.

P.S. I have to admit at the end of the day.. I am ready for a big ole glass of red wine... whew...
 
:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Sorry sweetie! But I bet they'll say at the end of the trip: "My Aunt Nicki and Uncle Todd are the bestest in the world!" :cheer2: (and why wouldn't they be for taking them to WDW! ;) )

Hey, thanks for the beautiful pictures!!! I'm putting them on my screen saver... I can't wait... though it looks a lot warmer and greener than the pictures I could take right now... mine are all white.
 
Hi everyone! I have all the kids and the one big kid bathed and in bed asleep so now I can play!

Since it was in the high 20's this morning I let them all sleep in...secretly hoping that HS would be as dead as MK....boy was I wrong but more on that later!

Around 8:30 we all went to Capt Cooks for breakfast...this place was packed to the gills! Todd got his staple, a cinnamon bun and it was great, nice and soft and yummy...Main Street style it aint but it is still good.

He and I order the adult breakfast platter and I shared half with the older one...her appetite is verocious before her meds and completely gone after she takes them. The eggs were awesome, the bacon nice and well done and crispy...fantastic fat and juicy sausages and the biscuits were great. The potatoes were a little overcooked but good too. Todd had that BLECH coffee and we shared and OJ.

The kids each got the french toast sticks with bacon and grapes. The little one had apple juice and the older one had the strawberry milk (that is the nastiest stuff ever!) The amount of bacon they got was ridiculous..so much of it! They loved the french toast and ate every single bite.

We then made it to the bus stop for the HS bus and it was packed like sardines....lucky it is just a short ride! So when the bus pulled in what do you think we saw? Brazillian tour groups, tons of them, at least 8 that I counted (all with different banners and flags). They were loud, they were obnoxious and they all reeked of nasty cologne. I thought I was going to lose my mind getting through bag check and the ticket counter.

We made a beeline to Toy Story, got the FP and the line was 50 minutes. We did a few attractions and then Todd took the older one to ride the hard core stuff and I took the little one to see the characters. That worked out perfect!!! The character lines moved fast and we met up around 12:30 for lunch at Pizza Planet.

The older one didnt eat but the little one gobbled up her grapes, apple juice and pizza. By the way I was able to order her pizza without sauce and she loved it.

Todd and I each had the cheese pizza hopping the older one would take a piece and then we shared the caprese salad with kalamata olives, mozzarella cheese and assorted tomatoes and lettuce. The pizza was ok and the salad was ok...a bit wilted. Nothing to write home about and if we were not with the kids we wouldnt have eaten there but it was decent and not BLECH at all....especially when you dip the pizza in Ranch dressing.....one of my best friends taught me that...she is from Long Island and said the pizza here is so bad the only way she can eat it is to dip it in dressing ha ha!

We hung out at HS until our FP for the Toy Story ride, and left around 5pm and decided to pop $10 for a cab to DTD instead of messing with transportation.

Hey I am from Long Island too and I put ranch dressing on dominoes and chucky cheese pizza!!I didn't know it was a geographical thing!!
