Love those things! Did you know you can ask for extra icing, if you wish (and I do). Just FYI!
No I had no idea or I would have been asking all this time. Gonna have to remember that for next trip!
You know, I have never played it up for the ride cameras before. Whether it's a good thing or bad thing, this picture motives me to seriously consider striking a pose next time
I never have either, cause I never seem to have any clue where they are at. Jason clearly does not have that problem
I have been known to get a little goofy at home from time to time, especially if embarrassing your kids is involved. Just for fun, why don't I show you how I *tried* to take DD to the bus last year on May the 4th (a.k.a. Star Wars Day, although I suspect you may know that already)
You and Jason would get along a bit too well!!!!
Great updates! Looks like a fun morning in the MK! Hurrah for conquering Space Mountain!! I love The Plaza too. I am sooooooo sad they've apparently changed the fries. I've seen the thin ones in several reports now. Those steak fries were the best!!
I also heard they're converting to taking walk-ups only, which is interesting.
Definitely too bad on the fries. I was hoping our was an anomaly but sadly i guess not. RIP steak fries
I heard the same thing on The Plaza. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing though.
Get it, girl!
Girl done got every last nook and cranny of that popcorn.
I LOVE those cinnamon rolls from Gastons
Your picture made me so hungry I had to find something sweet and gooey in the house.....closest thing were brownies, so I just ate one the size of my head. And I'm not ashamed in the least
Kudos to Casey for riding Space! I hope she does ride EE next time, and enjoys it!
Any chance you can send one of those brownies down this way
Cause now I want a cinnamon roll and a brownie and our house has exactly no food in it cause we're going to the beach on Friday and I refused to go shopping until then.
I booked EE fast passes yesterday, so we'll see how brave she is when she actually gets there.
I'm glad you have an adventurous one. My 4 year old showed me how non-adventurous he is on our trip. 7DMT was our 2nd ride of the trip and he proclaimed he was never going on it again! So, I changed a lot of his FP's for the rest of the trip...lol.
I had the LaFou's Brew myself and thought it was great! Full disclaimer: I'm a lover of ICEEs and Slushies, so it sort of fits the bill.
Enjoyed the update!
We're definitely lucky that she is adventurous though she does ebb and flow. I've definitely had to switch a few fast passes myself. She refused to ride splash mountain for a while but seems to be back on it for now. Same with big thunder. We're heading to a local amusement park later this week so we'll see how she does with rides she is less familiar with.
Totally agree with you on LaFou's (says the slurpee lover)
I'm joining in. Let's keep the reviews going.
Hope you enjoy
Fabulous updates Kari! Loving the WWC Eggs benny.....mmmm! Like you, I have never met an eggs benny that I didn't love. I am a soft poached egg girl though. Have you ever tried crab cake eggs benny? I had them for brunch on Sunday when we took DH out for Father's Day. So good. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures!
Thanks Susie! You and I definitely share a love of poached eggs then. I really don't even care for them any other way, yet I can't poach an egg to save my life.
Yep have had and love the crab cake benny. Since we're right next to Maryland where crab cakes reign supreme you can find them a lot around here.
Nice pixie dust at Starbucks! That drink looks good! I love me some Starbucks and I love it even more at Disney! I found this shirt it says there is nothing a little Disney and Starbucks can't fix..... I plan on getting it and wearing it to DL in August.
Snacks look yummy! So much yummy food!
Love that she tried space mountain! I love that she likes different food and rides!
We tried the plaza last trip for the first time and loved it, the best meal ever? No but a solid choice with very good food!
I saw someone with the shirt on in the world last trip and had a good laugh at it. I'm a starbucks novice and generally have no idea what is going on, but free I will take any day of the week.
We are definitely lucky that Casey loves the rides and food. Of course she's only 5 so I'm fully aware that could change on a dime
Score on the Starbucks pixie dust
LOL, to be a kid.
I have yet to try The Plaza, doubtful that we will be able to this trip either. That corned beef looked tasty, but I understand not liking an imbalance.
Sounds like your first space ride went much better than Casey's
I hadn't ridden it in a while and forgot out jerky and scary it can be in the dark, but she handled it like a champ. I don't remember my first space ride, but in the vein of your Dad my parents got me on my first roller coaster by telling me they were just going to ride without me and someone would probably kidnap me
Hello!
Joining in. Just started trying to find new places for the family to try on our maybe March or June trip. Really enjoying this report and am looking at reading the older ones too.
Casey is amazing! I am sure you know that though! I love her outfit for her race! Glad she is liking the faster coaster rides. I thought my son would be like her when he was her age. Took him on a coaster at Kings Island here in Ohio...The Racers. Scared him so bad he won't ride them to this day and he is now 21.
Welcome!!! Hope you find some new things you want to try. We're always looking to try new stuff too. Think next trip we're going to hit up a few of the new DTD places and of course Tiffins in AK.
We do know Casey is amazing but it's always nice to hear
She certainly makes life tons of fun. Funny you mention Kings Island, we're either going to Kings Dominion (its sister in VA) later this week or Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. Not sure which yet.
May I ask? Mike and Connie, did they do much traveling before hand? I am experiencing this with my mom right now. When she see's the prices of the hotels at Disney and then the cost of adding on park tickets and the dining plan (I like to have everything paid for up front) she about has a heart attack. I have been trying for years to get her to go with us on at least 1 trip since my dad passed away 19 years ago, but she won't give in and if we paid for it, it significantly increases our costs too because it takes us from a party of 5 to a party of 6 and the increase cost of the rooms available for that party size are so much more. We could pay for some of it, but not all of it, but then when she see's the costs, she falters. We never did any traveling when we were growing up. Our only "trips" were to Lake Erie for a day or two which was only an hour and a half away. Did they just finally decide they wanted to go, or was there something that you did to help convince them it was worth the cost?
Mike and Connie do do a fair bit of traveling, though Mike hates to fly so that precludes some of where they go (but they have been to Hawaii and Vancouver). We'd also mentioned they should come to Disney with us sometime since we talk about it so much and I knew it would forever be a special memory for Casey We hadn't talked specifics at all, but I got a text from Connie out of the blue one day that said if we wanted them they were in.
As far as cost, we never really talked about it but I knew it would be a concern. They drove, so that of course helped with pricing, then we paid for some things that we didn't tell them about. Like I put a $500 deposit down on the room so they thought their balance at check in was the bill. We also bought their tickets and told them they were $300 a piece, though I think they were closer to $400. We also came up with the idea that they could pick up lunch bills and we'd do dinner. That way they wouldn't be too concerned about the sticker shock on some places. Seems to have worked.
I completely get the quandary you are in with your Mom. I think if you focus it more on the heartstrings of a once in a lifetime experience with her grandchildren that may help defray her concerns.
It's always choose either RnRC or TSMM and book to the other
