Magic Goes Texan! Eight Crazy Nights (3/1/2013 Bahamas)

[threewilmingtonwalls]

okay just for fun what is everybody's favorite restaurant inside Disney property now I know it's hard just to pick just 1 but let's give it a try my youngest daughter likes the restaurant inside Epcot theme park the Canadian steakhouse my oldest daughter likes Kona cafe inside Disney Polynesian hotel and my wife's favorite restaurant is yakin Yeti inside animal kingdoms theme park my favorite is Ohio's also inside Disney's Polynesian hotel but like I said before it's hard to pick just 1 so I'm going to pic 2 lol Liberty Tree Tavern inside Magic Kingdom does our our families favorites there's a lot more out there goes our topics

The best dinner I have ever had on Disney property was at Citrico's at the Grand Floridian. Hollywood Brown Derby is pretty good, too, but I think their service kind of stinks. If I had to pick only one place to eat, it would be the Aloha Isle stand in MK...Dole Whip - YUM!

My DH & DD don't really care where they eat, except: they hate counter service because ordering with a line of people waiting behind them "makes us nervous" and they don't like buffets because "there are GERMS on the serving spoon handles" (valid point; I kind of agree).

Since you didn't say which Disney property and since my family's first experience with WDW will be March 5, I have to say Napa Rose. Then again, there are plenty of people out there who will attest that Napa Rose is Disney's best restaurant no matter what.
We've done Disneyland A LOT, so are doing AK and Epcot on our WDW day. We have reservations for dinner at Teppan Edo since my daughter and I love that style of dining. My DH is going to Kennedy Space Center. For those WDW veterans out there, what should we not miss at AK and Epcot? I assume Soarin' is the same as the one in DCA, so we were going to skip that ride.

Don't miss "Finding Nemo: The Musical" at AK! So cute.

Take a left at Epcot and get your fastpass for Test Track then go to Mission Space and take the orange training, return to The New Test Track at your fastpass time it is alot fun with very little walking and while your on the left side check out Ellen's Energy. when your leaving Epcot check out the line for the Big Golf ball and if it's short the ride is worth it. Epcot has it's own Monorail to MK and saves alot time. Don't miss the boat!

We had dinner with Todd English at his Blue Zoo restaurant a few years back during the Wine and Food festival. It was a prix fixed with wine pairing and it was amazing!!

We've only been to WDW for one week (this past summer), so we really can't speak from experience. With little kids (3 and 5), we focused on character dining. At the Magic Kingdom, we enjoyed breakfast with Winnie the Pooh and friends at the Crystal Palace, as well as late lunch with the princesses at Akershus in Epcot.

Since we're trying to go to two parks in one day on our cruise, I don't think we'll do any reserved dining.

We are doing the Disney Jr Breakfast at HS.

 

[disneyfan19712006]

I like many restaurants at WDW, but if I had to choose one it would be O Hana. The atmosphere is what I like breakfast or dinners it's always a good meal.

 

[yaknyeti]

what about the famous bread pudding at Ohana's isn't that the best

 

[disneyfan19712006]

Veterans I have only used the ships laundry services a few times, we always have shirts freshly pressed for dinners. I was wondering if anyone had a list of costs to wash and dry. I did it once on my last cruise but don't remember the cost.

2 weeks and counting....

Everyone packed? Not exactly - our spare room is filled with stuff I have collected...some are even in suitcases!

Guess I had better get cracking on that huh?

 

[skybroree]

I can't believe that we leave Canada in only 11 days, and we have a sleepover birthday party between now and then!!! Finally bought the new portable DVD player for the ride, so we're almost ready

Thats what are spare room looked like for our November cruise over a month before and this cruise I have not even started (have an empty spare room) it has been crazy around here.. I recently lost my StepFather- my children's Pa (Jan. 23rd) needless to say it has been a very long three weeks. I just got back into the swing of things Yesterday with the cruise and went to get my Fish extender from my MIL and now that has gone missing.. we had received them the day of his celebration of life they were christmas gifts from us to My inlaws and My mom step-dad and little brother. So today I had to order a new one... the lady was so nice and said she would make us a new FE asap. I am SUPER EXCITED but have a lot of planning and packing of the clothes... It will all come together just thought I share! Our family is in need of this trip!!

I am waiting for the Fish Extender and pillowcase that I ordered from Etsy to arrive and it is supposed to be here by the 20th. I looked on Etsy and the seller has deleted all the listings from their shop!!!

I emailed her last night but haven't heard back yet. Trying to think positive but fearing the worst.

If you are in FE#2 and see a room with Target bags hanging from the fish, you'll know what happened...

 

[yaknyeti]

I am so sorry to hear about your stepfather

 

[disneyfan19712006]

All my bags are packed and ready to go. It'sgoing to be a long few days.

I also ordered our FE off ESTY way back in the first week of Nov and told them we needed them by FEB 7th for my cruise because she did have a couple reviews saying they did not receive the merchandise on time. Thank god I did that because it came Feb 7th and not a day sooner. I had made several emails to her in Jan to make sure it would be there in Feb. She had told me it would mail out on the 20-25 of Jan. and of course it did not so I understand what your going thru. Just make sure to email her every day and hopefully it will come in time. For what its worth ours was worth the wait. It came out perfect, thank goodness cause I can not sew! But I did notice her shop was off the site as well so maybe we ordered from same
person.

Good Luck,
Sonia
