    Best macaroni and cheese

    ok at the expense of totally exposing myself- can I ask, does the Lobster Mac and Cheese at Le Cellier have actual lobster in it? I am allergic to seafood (shellfish) but I totally adore Mac and Cheese I would be devestated if I didnt know up front. :)

    The **New** Swan and Dolphin Resort thread ~ September 2010 ~ Please read post #1

    Here now and if I can figure out how to post pics I will do so. We are in a standard room overlooking the circular front drive. We have views of the waterways, the boardwalk and the tower of terror (HS). Not horrible and no one is complaining! The weather is hot and humid and crowd...

    Where are the Lodge Umbrellas at Blizzard Beach?

    what was the charge for this? how does it compare price wise to the polar patio? BB was closed when we went back in 2008.

    Thank you so much for your answer- I am a starwood base member from other previous work travel but nothing fancy like "preferred" That being said, I think I will certainly ask at check in tomorrow if there is any chance of an upgrade, as my company is booking 50-100 rooms over a two week...

    Dolphin tips and thoughts

    hi I keep reading about upgrades- so quick question, I am already a starwoods member from previous work travel but not any high up level. We are arriving tomorrow at the Swan for 5 days/4 nights in a standard room at my corp rate of $129. Do they charge for the upgrades or is there some...

    I notice in your post and others on here- people referring to upgrades. are you referring to "paid" upgrades or just some Disney magic? We are booked M-F this week with a standard room (corp rate of $129/night as I have mtgs W/TH) as part of a 2 day conference. Is there any chance that our...

    Staying at Riverside : Show me pics, get me excited!!

    wow, I am getting homesick for POR! We stayed there in Oct of 2008 and the entire family was hooked. Honestly I thought it beat CBR hands down. We are back to Disney next week at the Swan as I have work meetings there. Turned them into a 5 day family trip (cause that is what Disney does to...

    that is a great deal! I still dont feel too bad about the one I got for $3 though :) I wasnt sure if the 80% would be back before I leave next week Monday and we have reservations for dinner there that night! Any idea who the characters are? Until we booked at the Swan I had no idea from...

    Personalized Menus @ Coral Reef

    wow that is so horrible, we did the menus in 2008 and they were adorable. Exactly what I expected and there were no issues. My DH and DD were shocked and kept looking around like they though they were on candid camera! something special that none of us will ever forget. one bad apple.......

    What is your favorite dish at Les Chefs de France?

    wow what a great thread to stumble upon- I literally just made dinner reservations today for next week!! First time and sounds like we wont be disappointed. Hoping DD (11) will enjoy - likely she will want ribs or steak, she seems to like the finer things in life!! (who can blame her)...

    Illuminations - visable from Les Chefs de France

    I cant remember how long Illuminations lasts? We saw it in 2008 but that seems like forever ago. We have never eaten at France and since we already have lunch reservations at Coral Reef at 1:45 I choose the 8:10 dinner time (only other open time was 5:15). I guess I could try to move up lunch...

    Coral Reef or Garden Grill Dinner?

    We ate there in 2008 and thought it was one of our favorites. The kids love watching the fish. Even if you arent seated right at the window- they can go down to the front and gaze. Look for the Coral Reef thread somewhere on here, if you are planning far enough ahead, you can contact the...

    Ok we are in the exact same situation with our trip in two weeks- mears seems soooo expensive, I found a groupon coupon this week (under Orlando, Sunshine Limo) for $50 you get a $100 GC. The expected round trip cost in a towncar sedan is 166 I think, so basically save $50. Havent...

    ok used the promo listed above and got Garden Grove for three bucks! :banana: which I am thrilled about since we had already made reservations for our first night down there. Two dollars would be nice too, but I am a bird in the hand planner Thanks for the link about the Dolphin kids...
