Coming to you Live from Disney World! SEE NEW THREAD

Now for Incredibleboysmom's final update of their trip.


"Our last Disney meal was once again at..."

"This time was for lunch. We arrived at 1:40 and waited about 35 minutes to order."




A menu pic...

Braised Pork (Coq Au Vin style)
Eight-hour slow-cooked pork with mushrooms, onions, carrots and bacon served with mashed potatoes and green beans jardiniere


"I had the pork. This was Sunday dinner worthy! The pork was tender and full of flavor. It was pretty much served right on top of mashed potatoes with green beans right beside, so almost a one dish meal. I liked it but I know that there are some who prefer their food separate!"

Carved Turkey Sandwich served on a warm baguette with Dijon mayonnaise and Pomme Frites


"DH had the turkey sandwich. The one bite I had of this was very ho hum. There was too much bread to even taste the turkey."

"The boys had eaten lunch at our condo, but they had cupcakes all around. I once again had the chocolate cream puff, and it was once again delicious!"

"This time we sat in the library so we could watch Belle and the Beast dancing."

"There are paintings and hangings all around the room. These are my favorite."

"That is my last review. I had hopes to have dinner last night at Kona or the GF Cafe, but DH wanted to get in bed by 8:00 so we just ate in our condo. He woke up at 2:30 a.m. for the Princess Half-Marathon.

Here he is as Princess Merida..."

BREAKING NEWS!!!


Though I normally post updates in the order which I receive them, I've got some great news from Brenda & Emily that they would like to share with their DIS friends. After a one night stay at the AKL, today they checked into the Yacht Club CL for the next three nights. They had booked a pool view regular CL room but with a little Disney magic they were given a complimentary upgrade to the...

ADMIRAL'S SUITE



Emily said, "We are still in shock!"


Brenda said, "I had to find the tissue box!!"


Congrats Brenda & Emily!!!



​

That is absolutely awesome. That is a 10 pound bag of Pixie Dust for you all at Disney World. I hope you got a ton of pictures for the Trip Report.

"After the game they allow the kids to run the bases. Here we are after they "rolled" the bases."

So sadly we have had to say goodbye to two of our reporters today, DaisyluvzGoofy and Incredibleboysmom. But their reporter batons will hopefully be passed on to the three volunteers who arrived today.

ATTN: MARCH REPORTERS


Since we were somewhat short on game participants during the first part of February and it looks like we will again be short in March (*see Note below), I've decided to continue the February Game throughout the month of March. I've made only one addition regarding the Flower & Garden food & beverage kiosks. Each item from these kiosks that is included in an update will be worth 1 snack point.


LINK TO FEBRUARY/MARCH GAME RULES


Here are the volunteers I have so far, with trips beginning 3/1 - 3/29 (those arriving on 3/30 & 3/31 will be considered part of the April team):

The elephant cupcake is on my must try list!

It was a first for us. We have always wanted to stop and try it however we never get the chance. So glad we did. It was worth it.

 

[DLFan123]

I only wish we would be there in March so we could give this a try! Emily's pics are great! How nice that they got a complimentary upgrade to that suite!

Hi all,
At the Phoenix airport but will be reporting live from Raglan Road tonight!

 

[Angebee]

We're here!! So excited. Found out yesterday we had two completely unused Adult 4 day hoppers from the pre-MYY tickets so they converted them for us. Now its like we have two non-expiring 4 day hoppers for less.than half the current price!!! Just tried to send my first pic to Barb so crossing fingers it worked. Have a great day everyone! 50s Prime time tonight for dad's birthday!

 

[RhettsMom]

Hi Barb,

I wanted to thank you for keeping this thread running. I just discovered it a few weeks ago, and it's the only thing I come to DIS for anymore. I am also in Central IL btw!
