Ooh, plan B looked fun! Boo to missing the cruise though. It's Florida...don't they know rain comes & goes there?
Try amazon for Mickey Mouse waffle maker, they should come right up. I was at a small shop so it wouldn't help you but I did find the same thing on amazon. I am still on the fence! Will it taste the same (prob not but that would be okay) and will it make them less special when I get the real thing? Tat is the real question! Lol
Too bad the cruise was canceled but Plan B looks awesome! It's so cool that DDW can partake of the adult beverages now.

No cruise because of thunder and lightening? Really!
Seriously, Plan B seems to have worked since you so enjoyed your cocktail that you had more than one of them.
I'm glad you had such a great time.
And thanks for the heads up on the TIW card...I'll have to remember that.
Gee, I wonder who your DIS meet is with at Tusker House.
On no, I didn't realise that your cruise got cancelled
Fingers crossed we set sail in December
Plan B sure looked like fun though
The pina colava looks a lot like the lava flows that I adored so much during my Maui honeymoon... that's going on my list for December!
DIS meets are so much fun aren't they, it's amazing how online friends quickly become real life best friends
Oh I have a Mickey waffle maker and they taste great
I am so excited for Y&Y! It just looks divine! I already know what I want too...such a Dis thing! Oh well!
I had a very delightful dinner at Captain's Grille nearly 4 years ago! I have yet to make it back though I loved it...there's just so many other delicious options I haven't been able to!
Stinks about missing the cruise, but it looks like you still had a great night! Always fun to be able to relax with friends!

Hi Brenda! I don't comment alot, but I sure do love your dining reports and trip reports. I am currently reading both of your current ones! Plus followed along on the live dining thread with Barb!
Your trips look so amazing. You and Em really have a fun time. And I really enjoy reading about them.
Thanks for the fun of following along on your trips!
Plan B was definitely a lot of fun! And no doubt we got to spend more time just chatting than we would have on the boat. It was definitely a bummer ... lightning, not rain cancelled us...but we made the best of it for sure!
Hoping for better luck in December!
I see you still have a list of places to try, and I actually did a post but would love your input! Would you ever decide on dining locations based on pulling them from a hat? I have too many and the others going aren't helping much, they pretty much just show up and think this great, well thought out trip put itself together (but not in an ungrateful sort of way- just not into details). So I'm considering giving each of us one choice of a place we've previously dined at and all the rest have to be new and drawn from a hat. I just don't know if I can actually go through with it. Considering shaking up resort choice the same way. We always stay in the same place (which we love but so many choices!!). Sorry for the long ramble!
What a great dismeet minus the cruise being canceled.
Boy it will be funny taking pictures of our food in December. At least this time I don't have to take cell phone pics because there will be no live thread anymore.
Sorry your cruise got cancelled, but sounds like you made the best of it with Plan B
Wishing you luck that your Decembercruise works out!
Anyone who has followed my past dining reviews may recall that we have made it a habit to cancel Tusker House Donalds Safari Breakfast in past trips. Its not for a lack of desire, just our schedule has not synced with being in AK park during breakfast. However, I was excited that this reservation had remained intact through all our plan changes because we now had the opportunity to have an epic Dismeet!!! Kathy (KatMark) was going to be there for breakfast with her husband earlier than our reservation so wed meet up briefly between the two.
I'm so glad it stuck this trip too.
With that exciting prospect to look forward to we arrived promptly at 10:15am to check in and were directed to the l-on-g line to have our photo taken with Safari Donald. Argh! I didnt want to keep Kathy and her husband waiting for us. Just when I pulled out my phone to text her I heard a voice behind us calling our names. It was one of those meets where you immediately think, oh my gosh, this person is even more awesome than I imagined. For anyone that has not had the privilege, she is completely warm, inviting, and an absolute pleasure. If you cant tell, Im a HUGE fan of hers. Mark was just as hilarious as I anticipated and didnt seem to mind that I immediately went in for the hug. (Yep, thats me a hugger!)
That line for Donald is ALWAYS long; they didn't even tell us to get in it last year the first time we went. Oh now you have me doing this: You are too kind. I'm a huge fan of yours too. And Mark doesn't mind hugs...he rather enjoys them.
I invited them to join us for our Safari Donald photo. Whats better than a Dis meet up photo other than a Dismeet with a character? They were kind enough to walk us to our table so we could chat briefly. Kathy presented us with some adorable Disney themed gifts. Thanks Kathy for your generosity and thoughtfulness! It was truly appreciated.
I'm so glad we were able to get that group shot as I think that is the only time we got Mark in a picture with us because he was always the photographer using our cameras, phones, etc.
After foisting my camera off on Mark to take some photos of the three of us gals, we said our good-byes. Not to worry, this wasnt the last of our meet ups.
Great pictures!
Our Swag:
I'm glad you enjoyed your "swag."
Our server came by to get our drink orders, cautioning us to hold off going to the buffet since the characters were making their rounds nearby. No problem. We waited about 15-20 minutes for our first character meet due to the fact that they filled every table in the back between us and the characters making their circuit of the room. That and Mickey needed to grab some cheese thus another delay. We werent extremely hungry so it wasnt a bit deal but our timing was definitely off.
Mickey finally came by to greet us. Is that a canteen that he carries? So adorable.
We made a dash for the buffet hall so we could fill some plates before the next character arrived. And by hall, I really mean cavernous auditorium of a room filled with all manner of breakfast items. This was the biggest breakfast buffet that I have seen for WDW. How do you decide??
Food Options:
Turnovers:
Apple Cinnamon and Blueberry Muffins:
Sprinkled donuts:
Danishes:
Krispy Kreme:
Fruit Cobbler:
Bread Pudding:
Because I was busy trying to take photos of as many dishes as I could without getting in anyones way, I realized I needed to load up a plate quickly get back to the table before the next characters arrived.
My selections were no surprise, MICKEY WAFFLES. Not just one or two, I wasnt shy& I went for 3 of these delicious babies. The rest of my choices were a glycemic episode waiting to happen. Krispy kreme donut hadnt had one of those in years, Bread pudding, and fruit cobbler. Nothing healthy here I tell ya! Definitely a plate of guilt!
I also selected some fresh fruit (yay me for at least 1 healthy thing) and some scrambled eggs. If you look closely youll see a blue plate peeking out from under my scrambled egg plate. I had reserved the right to grab an additional serving of something& no, I didnt but I wanted to keep my options open. In fact, because I didnt like the bread pudding or the cobbler, I mostly ate the waffles, fruit, and scrambled eggs. Oh, and that Krispy Kreme was the first thing I ate!
Daisy and Goofy also made their rounds...
We were there so long that Mickey #2 came by to say hi. He looked like he didnt recognize us from earlier since he beckoned us to pose with him again!
I have to say that Im undecided as to whether I would return anytime soon. The pros are the huge selection of food. The cons are the huge selection of foods I could spend an hour browsing the selections. Other pros are the adorable characters and the prime location inside the AK park. Cons are the adorable characters interrupt your meal!!
