    We still, somehow, had 3 quick services left, so the morning we left, we went and got 3 sandwiches to take on the flight. We each ate the turkey and cheese (and Mickey krispie treats), and took a ham and cheese home to brother. (Hey, he was happy! It was a direct flight and he picked us...

    Dinner Last dinner....sniff, sniff....Where to go? 'Ohana on Disney's 40th anniversary! We ate late again so we could see Wishes. I stood in line FOREVER (they moved the line from over by Kona to over by the elevators) and never moved. Then I realized there were 2 lines--one as a walkup...

    Lunch--Pizzafari We don't load up on buffets, in fact we had 2 plates, both were slight--not full. So we did decide to eat lunch (plus, we had credits to burn!). Actually, though, we only ate 1/2 of each entree. Mikey had the pepperoni pizza, chocolate mousse, and an iced tea. He said...

    Breakfast--Trails End It is tradition to eat here on our last, full day. It takes forever to get here (even by taxi), so it has become a maybe from this point on. The buffet is good, it is quiet, it has REAL SWEET TEA, and the people are so friendly! The buffet has the typical Dinsey...

    Dinner--Tokyo Dining I think we've determined that we like to have the really late dinners and then that's it for the night. We did this again on this night and were rewarded with a great view and soundtrack of Illuminations during our appetizers. SCORE! I have to do an aside here. We...

    Dinner--San Angel Inn PICTURES!!! YAY! I had not been to SAI since the 90s. The reviews have been so mediocre that I wasn't sure if I should try. A recent menu change and a review that was more than positive from a friend told me it was time to try again. I was glad I did...

    You are going to quit reading! We did our DTD progressive lunch on this day, but I forgot my camera! We first split a meal at Earl of Sandwich--Earl's club subbed with cheddar for the swiss, strawberry shortcake, and (surprise--):cutie: Iced Tea! We actually got the earl's grey lemonade--1/2...

    Snack--Kiosk at Typhoon Lagoon To say that I was starving is an understatement. I was SO hungry after swimming all day and just chips and a cake bottom. On the way out, we see "mini donuts!" Sounds good--they're a Minnesota state fair staple. In fact, we can get them pretty handily. So we...

    Breakfast--picked out of the MNSSHP candy bags. Healthy, huh? Lunch--Tyhpoon Lagoon. Tried to eat at Typhoon Tilly's, but it was closed. Only the Snack Shack was open, so that SEVERELY limited what we could get. I didn't have my camera on me, but TRUST me, you don't want to see this crap...

    Oh HEY--Look what Mikey took a picture of!!!! FAJITAS! Dinner--The Wave We were going to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party tonight, so we were dressed as Hawaiian Tourists (cheap, easy to pack). It was funny to see a full dining room at an upscale place all filled with costumed...

    Breakfast--None. Still digesting from the night before! whew!:eek::3dglasses Lunch--Pepper Market. I was worried about eating here. The punch cards, the 10% tip, the stations. Some of it went well; some of it didn't. The food was very good, and now that I've been there, I'd go back...

    Dinner--Fork and Screen So over at the AMC theater, right at the entrance to West Side, there is Fork and Screen. You can see a movie, get drinks, apps, dinner, and dessert RIGHT at your movie seat. The lighting reminded me a lot of the way it is inside SciFi--pretty darn dark. So I would...

    Late Lunch--Kona Kona is one of my all-time favorites. Their pomegranate pork chop dances often in my dreams. I also really love their lunches, especially the Hawaiian lunch plate. We got there just before our 2:15 ADR. Being that it was dead center between lunch and dinner, the place was...

    Breakfast--Skipped....Early, early lunch and then another lunch, and then a dinner were on tap for today (you'll see why), so I skipped breakfast. Lunch 1--Columbia Harbor House We were up at at 'em by 7, so the second they opened CHH, Mikey was ready to eat. He wanted to try the new lobster...
