Coming to you Live from Disney World! SEE NEW THREAD

[cyndiloveswalt]

I would like to volunteer to do some reporting. We are not on the dining plan and will do quite a bit of CS meals, but I will be happy to send some reviews your way. We will be down Nov 9-17 th. we do have ressies at Crystal Palace, The Plaza and Tonys. I have been very much enjoying this thread while counting down to my trip.

What a teaser from Paula... no photos of what they selected?? Looking forward to hearing her details.

I'm sorry!! I barely managed to get pics with my regular camera. We got news on our way to dinner that our house in CO was under mandatory evacuation due to rapidly growing wildfire. My DH and I were both super stressed. He wants to fly back to CO early. However, since the house is evacuated there isn't much he can do so we are torn on what we should do. The fire has already burned almost 2000acres since yesterday afternoon. They have no containment as high winds and gusts are preventing air crew to help fight it. Those same high winds and gusts are also what is causing it to spread so much. So anyways that is why there were no pictures. I saw someone ask about the cheese soup. We did have that and the flavor was good but the consistency was VERY thin. We split a portion and neither of us could finish itz

How was that margarita!? Looks awesome... I may have to go here next time just for that!

I'm pretty sure that Becky loved her margarita, but she has already started her reviews so it won't be long until we can find out for sure. Here is the LINK to her Dining Report.

*sigh*

I wish I could do live updates!!! I'm still hoping Brad gets a job soon and I can squeeze in a trip!!

Oh, I hope so too, Denise!

There's an artichoke pizza flatbread? OMG, something new that I will need to try! I love how we come home from WDW to learn about even more snacks that I want to try.

Good news here- we booked our WDW trip for next August. A whole week at POR before we get onto the Freedom of the Seas.

I've been having a lot of health issues this fall, but this thread is the best pick-me-up after a long day of work and doctor's appointments.

Hi GM! I've been wondering how your surgery went last week. Hopefully you will recover quickly. And I'm so glad that this thread is helpful.

But...YAY!!! about the news of your August trip. If by some chance this thread is still going then, I would love to again have the services of one of my best live reporters.

That would be excellent! I will send you a PM with my info right after I post an update that just came in. Thanks so much!

Thanks Jill. Right now our concern is my MIL and the dogs. My MIL doesnt drive so they are at the mercy of our neighbors. She doesn't want to stay where she stayed last night so will probably move to a hotel with the dogs. Will let you know if we need anything. Thanks!

emmebear is at WDW again from 10/25 - 10/28 and this time is staying in AOA's Little Mermaid Section. Here is emmebear's PDR.

She will be texting in live updates for us!



Also Linda67 is currently in California on a business trip, but will be having a little Disney fun too. Tomorrow she is heading to Disneyland!

Wolfgang Puck Express




Their friend had...

Scrambled Eggs & Garlic-roasted Potatoes

Wolfgang's Breakfast Pocket
Scrambled eggs, peppers, ham, onions, mushrooms, mozzarella and cheddar cheese baked into Wolfgang's signature pizza dough.


Chris said, "DH and I shared the breakfast pocket. It was good but would have been better if the crust wasn't burned."

Scrambled eggs, bacon, mozzarella and cheddar cheeses are baked then drizzled with Wolfgang's very own Ranch dressing


Chris said, "DD had her favorite breakfast pizza. It was really cheesy and good." ​

That looks sooo yummy. I've read Kouzzina's menu a few times and always find myself gravitating towards the breakfast offerings.

Thank you, Becky!

I'm not trying to be stupid, but is the crust supposed to be that crispy?

 

[Ginamarie]

La Hacienda looks so good to me! I'm not sure I could convince the kiddos though.

Stephanie (HNT2419) sent me an update today which included a few more pictures from their lunch at Rainforest Cafe yesterday and their dinner at Riverside Mill last night. She had some issues with the WI-FI last night so was unable to send all her pics then. So I've added these additional photos to her Rainforest Cafe Update and her Riverside Mill Update.

Can I say again how much I love this thread?? I haven't been able to check the dining reviews very much for a few days and it's great to come back and see so many awesome live reports! It's great to click a few pages back and just go through all of the pictures all at once.

Can I also say that "amazeballs" is currently one of my favorite words!
