Sorry Gaston, They are MUCH More Interesting Than You!*6/8* NEW Trip Report Link p154

[disneydancer86]

By the way, I have a comical story to share. (Sorry for the hijack)

Last night I was scheduled to chaperone the sweetheart dance at the high school I teach at 7pm. I had spent the better part of the evening getting caught up on this TR and time must have gotten away from me. I posted my reply here and continued on to MeMom and Jill's new TR and idly glanced at the clock...6:50pm!!!!! (Might I mention that my school is 45 minutes away...and I wasn't dressed)

So, needless to say I threw the computer aside (I still owe MeMom a reply), RAN upstairs to get ready, and preceded to RACE out the door. Now before you worry, even though I fashionably late, it was fine.

I know, you're wondering, "why are you telling us this..?"

Given the reason I was late, because I was enjoying my time reading this report, my outfit for the evening was inspired the situation that inspired the very title of this TR.

Does this shirt look familiar?!

Thank you MEK, eandesmom, and the cameo in this TR by Tina for helping me choose what to wear in a time crunch!!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

The food at LTT looked worth trying, no veggie burger for me! I don't mind meatless meals, but don't want fake meat!

I would be so distracted by the waitstaff's costumes. I really hate that phony colonial costuming. I realize its just a uniform, but so many take away the thought it is correct clothing.

 

[DisMomAmy]

It took me all day, but I'm finally caught up! I lost my place once when the cat decided to walk across my keyboard (that's what I get for leaving the laptop open when I wasn't actually using it).

I LOVED reading about your MNSSHP night! I just posted our party update a couple days ago. So much fun! Your costumes were great.

Reading about new FL was another treat! We loved being able to take a peek in October. We saw Storytime with Belle, rode the Little Mermaid twice, enjoyed a LeFou's Brew (I loved the first half of it - good to share with someone maybe), and even got to look around inside Be Our Guest! They weren't serving yet but they had the doors open to look around.

 

[natebenma]

You guys have been busy while I have been away! I'll try to catch up by sections, but I'm sad that I will have to skip the comments.

So far I have read Fantasyland Follies and Longwood Gardens updates

That is an awesome picture from your run. Very Northwest and Bigfooty-looking!

Incredible pictures of the castle on a beautiful day! I love the shots from the Plaza vantage point.

on a Space Mountain walkon.

for your visit to Fantasyland. Thanks for sharing all of the pictures, especially all of the ones of the Little Mermaid ride. Was there a lot of music on hte attraction? I think the songs from LM are some of my favorites from a Disney movie.

Longwood Gardens looks gorgeous. I love that I have seen it (through pictures) in a couple of different seasons.

 

[MEK]

Yeah, I sucked it up and played a little. Nice way to waste my sat afternoon.

That's the only bad thing about photobucket edits. They take forever!

Ugh. No. As it stands right now you can go in and change your master setting for organization but it will change either all new uploads, or all folders. I currently just have it set for new only as I didn't want to muck up old ones that were previously organized.

So look for the master setting and set the organization before I upload new pics? By the way - thanks for the email with the info!

Supposedly fixing the organizer is one of the top things coming soon (sent you an email that I got from them). Our trip isn't so bad as the default on that folder is by file name so if I compare it to my external drive which has them by time stamp, it's fairly easy as essentially they are showing in 2 sets on PB, basically by time and each camera. I had remembered to change the time stamp on the main camera (iphone sets itself) so that helped a ton.

Yes - thank you! I have no idea where the time stamp is on my regular pictures in iPhoto. I guess I should find that. Is their a bulk uploader with the new photo bucket? I know I have so many questions!

On my family trip though it's way worse as depending on the day there are up to 4 cameras and the time stamps on the regular cameras are off from the iphones and...ugh! I still think I like the old editor better but was having fun yesterday. One annoyance, and this was true before the site change, is that once you edit something it moves it to the front of the folder. I wish there was a way to make it save where the native pic is.

I usually edit and replace. That keeps it in the same place.

Right now my bigger beef is that I think what is happening with my sizing is that because I have pro, it uploads original size data, even if that isn't the size I have it set to upload. Once I edit, it seems to default to the original size, which is why those are larger and I've no idea how to address that and at some point need to figure it out.

I think your picture size is fine right now. I like them a little on the large size.

Aww, thanks! I don't know about contest worthy (like your amazing butterfly and uber cool Gaston mug/water shots) but it does make me smile.

No - It's a great shot. the composition is really good!

When are you going in June!? It is actually my parents that are DVC, so I am ready to book...but am hopeful for a Summer Special Offer to come out soon so I can save 20% or something...

We will be there June 8 -15th. We weren't supposed to go this summer, but we took my brother's family last June and stayed at a treehouse. They really wanted to go back, but we didn't have enough points because we are using points at HHI and again in October. So they decided to rent a condo through VRBO and invited us to stay with them free of charge. I really couldn't say no, so this will definitely be an interesting trip. It's also interesting from the perspective that its the first time we are driving. This is going to be interesting.

I agree about the contest...you'd better believe I will be looking for that photo op on my next trip!

It's pretty easy to find once you know what and where to look!

I think I will try to take notes during my next trip so I can try to write one...it would be so much fun to relive a trip...I hope people would read it if I did!!

Writing a TR is a lot of fun! Of course people will read it. Just pm all the people whose TRs you are reading and you will have instant readers!

Ok first I GASPED!!!! Then I was speechless then I had to ca;ll my daughters in with broom n dust pan to sweep up my jaw ,but one wasn't coming and I had a mini freak out because she wasnt here n I was so lost in the Amazing Wonder of the pics of all the belle n Beast Beautifulness that I forgot shes at her friends house.I was spaced out dumbfounded and in a dream world unlike another at the the sight and thought of those pics,it took me some time but I came back to reality long enough to say Cynthia there are 2 things that you can never get enough pics of #1 being Spaceship earth and #2 ANYTHING beauty n the Beast related

I'm so glad you liked the pictures from Belle's attraction. We were so lucky to get all those bonus PP pictures. That Belle was really beautiful and the venue was lovely. I hope you get a chance to see it soon!

By the way, I have a comical story to share. (Sorry for the hijack)

Last night I was scheduled to chaperone the sweetheart dance at the high school I teach at 7pm. I had spent the better part of the evening getting caught up on this TR and time must have gotten away from me.

Thank you MEK, eandesmom, and the cameo in this TR by Tina for helping me choose what to wear in a time crunch!!

Wow - that's awesome! You have Tina's shirt! I love that. Well, I guess after reading about her you were inspired and your choice for what to wear became clear! I love it! Thanks for posting that picture!

And I'm glad you were only fashionably late for the dance!

 

[natebenma]

Coffee in the Wildnerness-

Wow, Cynthia, you rocked the morning!!! Look what you can accomplish when you aren't being held back by the family.

The opening show at MK is so cool! We have seen it several times as morning is my family's best time of day. The crowd going through the gates does get pretty cramped. What amazes me is that many of the characters are also headed down (up) Main Street at the same time to get in their positions. I couldn't believe the way Mary Poppins and Alice booked in their heeled shoes- I couldn't keep up with them!

It was fun to see your pictures from the Little Mermaid attraction.

 

[MEK]

The food at LTT looked worth trying, no veggie burger for me! I don't mind meatless meals, but don't want fake meat!

You bring up a good point - I'm really not sure why its even called a veggie "burger" because to me a burger IS meat. I guess veggie "pattie" doesn't sound as appetizing! LTT is a fun lunch, but I do think the food quality has declined since the first time I ate there. Bring back the tri-corner sandwich!

I would be so distracted by the waitstaff's costumes. I really hate that phony colonial costuming. I realize its just a uniform, but so many take away the thought it is correct clothing.

I know you hate when period clothing is inaccurate, yet the rest of us have no clue that its all wrong.

It took me all day, but I'm finally caught up! I lost my place once when the cat decided to walk across my keyboard (that's what I get for leaving the laptop open when I wasn't actually using it).

What is it with cats and laptops? I have one that does the same thing! So glad you were able to get caught up!

I LOVED reading about your MNSSHP night! I just posted our party update a couple days ago. So much fun! Your costumes were great.

Wait? You mean I have been missing your TR? As soon as I am done with replies I am going to find it! We had so much fun at the party! It was great!

Reading about new FL was another treat! We loved being able to take a peek in October. We saw Storytime with Belle, rode the Little Mermaid twice, enjoyed a LeFou's Brew (I loved the first half of it - good to share with someone maybe), and even got to look around inside Be Our Guest! They weren't serving yet but they had the doors open to look around.

Wow - you got to do everything - that's awesome. Did you love the inside of BOG? It really looks amazing!

There is no way I could drink an entire LeFou's Brew!

You guys have been busy while I have been away! I'll try to catch up by sections, but I'm sad that I will have to skip the comments.

So far I have read Fantasyland Follies and Longwood Gardens updates

Well then you are almost completely caught up! Where you just on vacation? Is there a trip report coming?

That is an awesome picture from your run. Very Northwest and Bigfooty-looking!

I love when I get a totally cool picture on my cell phone! It's usually someplace where I wouldn't or couldn't take my regular camera!

Incredible pictures of the castle on a beautiful day! I love the shots from the Plaza vantage point.

I love that vantage point. I have seen so many excellent pictures from that spot that I took advantage of the low crowds to get my own!

on a Space Mountain walkon.

Seriously - what is better than a Space Mountain walk on!

for your visit to Fantasyland. Thanks for sharing all of the pictures, especially all of the ones of the Little Mermaid ride. Was there a lot of music on hte attraction? I think the songs from LM are some of my favorites from a Disney movie.

I honestly don't remember the music, but I am sure something had to be playing. I was just so focused on taking pictures that I didn't even notice.

Longwood Gardens looks gorgeous. I love that I have seen it (through pictures) in a couple of different seasons.

I have only been there once during the daytime in the spring. All my other visits have been at Christmas. But now I have a membership so I will be going back soon!

 

[natebenma]

That is just too perfect! I love that you were taking pictures of Tina (and Gaston) and she recognized you!!! And dissed Gaston just a bit. Probably not a better character for that comment to deflate his ego.

Oh, I really loved the closeup pictures of Gaston's mug spouting water. Really interesting photos.

I hear you on the Peter Pan pictures. That may be the hardest attraction to photograph! I have better pictures from the ToT elevator than I do of PP!

Sorry the veggie burger was not great. Hope Cynthia had better luck with her lunch.

Love the Jungle Cruise. Classic and Cheesy! The driver really makes or breaks the ride.

 

[natebenma]

I know you hate when period clothing is inaccurate, yet the rest of us have no clue that its all wrong.

I'm going to have to chat with Wicket's Mom about the Colonial costumes. I occasionally have to dress in colonial garb for my job as a museum teacher. One of my friends makes all of the costumes and when my boys needed Colonial outfits for school she costumed them. She made a big point about how the knee needs to be covered by the knickers or socks. My son's socks were not long enough and I snapped a picture and emailed it to her phone with the title "Colonial Porn". Unfortunately, she was in a library and burst out laughing when she saw it.

Well then you are almost completely caught up! Where you just on vacation? Is there a trip report coming?

I love when I get a totally cool picture on my cell phone! It's usually someplace where I wouldn't or couldn't take my regular camera!

We were at the Barcelo Maya in Mexico. It is about an hour south of Cancun and 30 minutes north of Tulum. It was our third time at this resort- beautiful beaches, really decent snorkeling (we swam with turtles 3 different times, I saw a 4 foot moray eel and a venomous lionfish) along with other colorful sea critters. Decent food, unlimited drink.

I think I will do a trip report, although it really is an off-topic location. But there were some Disney touches at the resort. And a surprising amount of drama. And I had a kind of "DIS" meet during the trip as well.

D'oh! Your cell phone camera. Here I am picturing you jogging with your big girl camera strapped around your neck. You get such awesome shots.

 

[natebenma]

PS- I forgot to say congratulations to Nick for his acceptance to so many schools. That is a great accomplishment, in a field that is very competitive. I'll be interested in hearing about the selection process and where he ends up.

 

[jenseib]

I am loving the pictures once again.
I am still on pld photobucket. I just d NOT want to change at ALL! If you read the facebook page, people are complaining left and right about the new version. I had a countdown going and it was under 15 days a few days ago at least. I think actually it was supposed to switch over around March first. Every day it reminds me about the switch and today it now says March 18th, so they backed it up again. I know why, because it's NOT working. LOL. I read all the time how people who have the pro version (which I dp to ) will not be renewing if forced to the new version. And the new "pro" is limited. Not very fair for those who paid for something else. They must have the same IT people that Disney hires for it's website!

 

[amandaw]

What a fun time in NFL! That is so awesome that y'all had an impromptu meeting with Tina! And I, too, wish she would get back on here regularly!

Love all the pics from NFL....can't wait to get there next year!

Sorry the lunch at LTT was mixed. Though the salad does look/sound lovely!

 

[Poolrat]

WOW All day to catch up here in betwen settng up my big meet this year on Fri /Sat.
Grat pictures all around. Love the fountain from behind with SM in view.
Also love the close up of the mugs.

The Gaston /Dis meet was priceless!!!! I could not agree more that Gaston is the perfect character for that to happen to.

 

[natebenma]

I tried to get caught up on this report last night, but I hit the wall. But I did it this morning!

Great retelling of the "more interesting than you" title inspiration. I love picture of Gaston pointing.

Weird menu at Gastons Tavern. One entree/meat item and then just some snack-type things?

What fantastic pictures taken of the two of you by the CM. You should have commented to him that he would make a great photopass photographer if the super official big-wig job doesn't work out.

I really appreciate all of the great pictures of NFL. Especially since I don't think my wet blanket family will be interested in visiting.



Maybe I can trick my football-obsessed son into visiting "NFL"

I have never been to Liberty Tree either. The salad looked good- I would be happy with that.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

I thought to myself, I'm glad this lady is having so much fun with Gaston.

And just as I was thinking maybe I should stop taking multiple pictures of the same random person she turned and look right at Cynthia and I. She seemed to catch her words for a second, like she was a little stunned or distracted. Gaston questioned her sudden change in focus.

Then she said out loud, "I think I know them. Are you (I forget if she called us by our real names or screen names)? Sorry, Gaston they are much more interesting than you right now".

Too funny! What a cool meet-up!

I could tell that Tina's family didn't really know what to think about us internet strangers, but they were very cordial and friendly. I get that people don't understand the DIS bond and the whole concept of a DIS meet. So I bet Tina probably felt a little awkward around her family, knowing that they wouldn't "get it". I know some of my friends and family think its a little weird, but I'm over that. Have been for awhile.

Well, we are a little weird. So there's that.

Perhaps I went a little overboard???

Not at all. Beautiful shots.

I have no desire to try roasted pork shank, but I have heard its good. Just not my thing.

Right, because meat would just be awful. Ahem.

I was intrigued by this butterfly because he seemed very reluctant to fly away.

Cool pictures!

Vegetarian Burger - House-made Potato Quinoa Vegan Patty topped with a fresh Vegan Tofu-Tzatziki sauce with fresh fruit or sweet potatoes fries $11.49

Now why would you do that to yourself? You have so much to live for!

I am a fan of veggie burgers. I know Captain Oblivious will make a comment here because he is definitely a fan of burgers comprised solely of meat, so bring it Mark!

No, no. Different strokes and all that. I'm sure there's something I can learn here about expanding my palate and all that. Please, tell me what I'm missing!

But I did NOT like this AT all. Well, maybe a little at first but then the burger grew progressively spicier without having any flavor. That, combined with a white roll, felt like a major carb overdose. Lesson learned. Be more picky about what type of veggie burgers I order.

Yeah, more picky as in: take out this tofu garbage and replace it with beef!

Oh, and add bacon too.

 

[MEK]

Coffee in the Wildnerness-

Wow, Cynthia, you rocked the morning!!! Look what you can accomplish when you aren't being held back by the family..

Isn't it amazing how much a family can slow you down!

The opening show at MK is so cool! We have seen it several times as morning is my family's best time of day. The crowd going through the gates does get pretty cramped. What amazes me is that many of the characters are also headed down (up) Main Street at the same time to get in their positions. I couldn't believe the way Mary Poppins and Alice booked in their heeled shoes- I couldn't keep up with them!.

I never thought about that, but they must really have to book it. But they're young - they can handle it - high heels and all!

It was fun to see your pictures from the Little Mermaid attraction.

That attraction is really fun! You are going to really love it when you see it!

That is just too perfect! I love that you were taking pictures of Tina (and Gaston) and she recognized you!!! And dissed Gaston just a bit. Probably not a better character for that comment to deflate his ego.

How funny is that? I mean, of all the people in the park that could have been posing with Gaston and it was Tina! What a coincidence! And you're right, no better character than Gaston to mess with!

Oh, I really loved the closeup pictures of Gaston's mug spouting water. Really interesting photos.

Thanks! That fountain was really fascinating, so I thought it would be fun to indulge my addication to fountain pictures.

I hear you on the Peter Pan pictures. That may be the hardest attraction to photograph! I have better pictures from the ToT elevator than I do of PP!

Somebody actually posted some fairly decent pictures in there and they swore they didn't use a flash. I almost can't believe it!

Sorry the veggie burger was not great. Hope Cynthia had better luck with her lunch.

Cynthia really enjoyed her lunch! But that potato burger thing was horrendous. I can't even imagine a real vegetarian wanting/liking that,

Love the Jungle Cruise. Classic and Cheesy! The driver really makes or breaks the ride.

Yes - classic and cheesy! I once had a captain named Jessica who was fantastic! I couldn't stop laughing because her delivery was spot-on!

PS- I forgot to say congratulations to Nick for his acceptance to so many schools. That is a great accomplishment, in a field that is very competitive. I'll be interested in hearing about the selection process and where he ends up.

Thanks! I am very excited for Nick and I hope the decision making process goes smoothly. We are heading down to Virgina Tech on Thursday afternoon and registered for a bunch of sessions on Friday. I wanted to go to the newly admitted student day in April but (1) we will be in HHI and (2) I think he needs to visit the campus ASAP so we can see where the school is in his personal ranking. He is very excited to visit and I think its going to be a strong contender.

I am loving the pictures once again.

Thanks! This was another day when I went a little overboard with the pictures! I just couldn't put my camera down.

I am still on pld photobucket. I just d NOT want to change at ALL! If you read the facebook page, people are complaining left and right about the new version. I had a countdown going and it was under 15 days a few days ago at least. I think actually it was supposed to switch over around March first. Every day it reminds me about the switch and today it now says March 18th, so they backed it up again. I know why, because it's NOT working. LOL. I read all the time how people who have the pro version (which I dp to ) will not be renewing if forced to the new version. And the new "pro" is limited. Not very fair for those who paid for something else. They must have the same IT people that Disney hires for it's website!

First of all, I can't believe the pro account is limited. That is just so darn irritating. I have most of my pictures backed up on an external hard drive, but there was a period of time where I lost my whole iphoto library and there are some pictures in photobucket backed up that never made it to the harddrive.

Second - I don't think they recognized how many people use their photohosting site for blogging and when you mess with the ease of that you are going to have angry costumers. Design the site specifically for people who are blogging so life is easy.

*End of Rant*

 

[MEK]

What a fun time in NFL! That is so awesome that y'all had an impromptu meeting with Tina! And I, too, wish she would get back on here regularly!

We had a blast in FL and meeting Tina was really icing on the cake. I really DO miss her on the boards and I hope she comes back. I really wanted to hear about her Jan trip with Max.

Love all the pics from NFL....can't wait to get there next year!

I know I keep saying this to everyone, but you are going to LOVE it! It's really, really well done!

Sorry the lunch at LTT was mixed. Though the salad does look/sound lovely!

I still like LTT, but they need to do away with that veggie burger and bring the tri-corner roast beef sandwich back!!!!!!!!!

WOW All day to catch up here in betwen setting up my big meet this year on Fri /Sat.

So is the meet over or is it next weekend? At any rate, glad you had a little time to escape with some DISing! Always the best escape from the real world.

Grat pictures all around. Love the fountain from behind with SM in view.
Also love the close up of the mugs.

Thanks! I like that view of Space Mountain as well. It's really cool how opening up that area opened up a whole new Space Mountain perspective!

I tried to get caught up on this report last night, but I hit the wall. But I did it this morning!

OMG - that happens to me all the time. I am reading along and then I catch myself falling asleep with the laptop in my lap. So annoying! I

Great retelling of the "more interesting than you" title inspiration. I love picture of Gaston pointing.

I thought it was really cool that Cynthia got that picture of him pointing. I was probably laughing too hard to get that shot. It was a really funny way of running into Tina.

What fantastic pictures taken of the two of you by the CM. You should have commented to him that he would make a great photopass photographer if the super official big-wig job doesn't work out.

Good idea! I actually think he told us he used to take pictures of work in some kind of media related field with Disney. Very nice guy!

I really appreciate all of the great pictures of NFL. Especially since I don't think my wet blanket family will be interested in visiting.



Maybe I can trick my football-obsessed son into visiting "NFL"

You totally need to find a way ton convince your family to go back there. I can't wait to take my nephews there this summer. I know they will really enjoy the LM ride.

And if you have to tell your son you are going to see the "NFL" attraction you really aren't lying! Just stretching the truth a tad!

Too funny! What a cool meet-up!

It really is one of my funniest DISmeets to date because it was SO unexpected!

Well, we are a little weird. So there's that.

Yup, there is THAT!

Not at all. Beautiful shots.

Thank you! this day is very picture heavy....again!

Right, because meat would just be awful. Ahem.

I actually don't dislike meet, but I am not a huge fan of pork. It's just OK.

Cool pictures!

Thanks!

Now why would you do that to yourself? You have so much to live for!

True - because trying to eat that "thing" may have taken a few months of my life, for sure!

No, no. Different strokes and all that. I'm sure there's something I can learn here about expanding my palate and all that. Please, tell me what I'm missing!

Well, in this case you missed absolutely nothing. nada. zip. nill! But I still believe that there are tasty veggie options out there. This just wasn't one. This would make a treu vegen turn on their heels and run!

Yeah, more picky as in: take out this tofu garbage and replace it with beef!

Oh, and add bacon too.

I do like tofu when prepared properly. Tafu and bacon - there's a thought.

Spoiler alert - When you see tomorrow's lunch you will definitely show your approval!

I have never been to Liberty Tree either. The salad looked good- I would be happy with that.

The Gaston /Dis meet was priceless!!!! I could not agree more that Gaston is the perfect character for that to happen to.

 

[afwdwfan]

Disclaimer: I am NOT the one who came up with the name of our Trip Report. All the credit goes to Cynthia.

Good work, Cynthia. I like it!

Then she said out loud, "I think I know them. Are you (I forget if she called us by our real names or screen names)? Sorry, Gaston they are much more interesting than you right now".

Now as entertaining as Gaston is, I would have loved to have caught his reaction to that one!

I get that people don't understand the DIS bond and the whole concept of a DIS meet. So I bet Tina probably felt a little awkward around her family, knowing that they wouldn't "get it". I know some of my friends and family think its a little weird, but I'm over that. Have been for awhile.

I understand completely. There is a strong case of "not getting it" in my family.

Perhaps I went a little overboard???

Absolutely not. I love all the artistic shots you got around Fantasyland. Especially the ones of Gaston's statue!

I also won't be trying the brew anytime soon because there's probably about 800 calories in there that I really don't need. Now, if they added a shot or two of rum I might reconsider. Just sayin'.

You could always add some rum to it... not that anyone would sneak it into the MK or anything...

Coincidentally, this is the second TR recently that I've seen the mention made that it could use some rum.

I am a fan of veggie burgers. I know Captain Oblivious will make a comment here because he is definitely a fan of burgers comprised solely of meat, so bring it Mark!

Well, I see he already took care of it, but really, what were you thinking?

the burger grew progressively spicier without having any flavor.

Isn't that the "veggie" part of the "burger?"

That, combined with a white roll, felt like a major carb overdose. Lesson learned. Be more picky about what type of veggie burgers I order.

Or just order the beef kind.

Or I guess horse meat if you're in England...

I get it, it is hard to see or understand that you might ditch the folks you came with to meet what seem to be random strangers. I can definitely see where it would make some folks uncomfortable.

That's exactly the issue I have. My family isn't comfortable with those types of meets. I always have to try to schedule for odd times so that I'm not ditching them to go meet "a stranger." Unfortunately, it rarely works out.

I fear it may not happen next trip due to the supremely picky eaters joining us. Is it wrong that I hope we have a day or 2 of just the 4 of us? We all want to eat here.

Ditch 'em.

Which I guess isn't surprising, I have probably not presented it as a dinner option because 1) it’s dry and we do like an adult beverage with dinner, 2) it’s a little limited for dinner and on the pricey side with kids, for lunch.

Well, if you can get past number 1, I actually love the dinner there. It really is very good. One of my favorite meals in the parks.

We've actually never had dinner inside MK anywhere due to reason #1 lol.

But apparently, number 1 is a big sticking point.

Soon thereafter we were seated. Love the bottles

That was our table... I want to go back...

Loved it! I felt a bit guilty enjoying it as much as I did as Mary Ellen clearly was not loving her choice and it was something I'd considered ordering as well. In defense of veggie burgers, this one was just plain weird. It almost looked like it had been deep fried which was a turn off and the sauce is what turned me off. Fresh Vegan Tofu-Tzatziki sauce. I love Tzatziki but can't stand tofu so that killed it for me.

Well, look at it this way. I doubt that the veggie burger was something that they were making very often back in the colonial days. It's a bit of a departure from the normal menu. They did the best they could with what they had to work with.

Yeah, more picky as in: take out this tofu garbage and replace it with beef!

Oh, and add bacon too.

Now that is a burger. That other stuff doesn't even deserve the name.

 

[dizneeat]

Hi!

I am back and all caught up!
Your new Fantasyland pics are wonderful ...... we have now got some very similar ones.
Love all the updates!

 

[teekathepony]

Cynthia, beautiful pictures in your update! I love all the pics around NFL, how absolutely stunning that place is. I'm so in love with Beauty and the Beast so I really can't wait to see that area in person!
LeFou's brew looks really... nasty for lack of a better word. Those flavours just don't seem to fit together.
