(I tried to come up with a joke referencing Lew Zealand, like "Lew Zealands favorite restaurant!" But to get it, youd have to know that Lew Zealand was a character on The Muppet Show who had a stage act throwing boomerang fish (hence, flying fish). I know at least one DISer would've gotten it, but it seemed like a stretch, so I'm sorry, no Lew Zealand jokes will be used in this chapter. As long as you don't count this long diatribe as a joke, which I know most of you won't. Even though you should.)
If I had known, I could've encouraged the people to chew faster, or at least started bussing their plates and silverware.
And if you take a picture of the floor, you can't leave out the ceiling.
Here, Marlene is cutting...no, let me rephrase that. Here, Lauren is passing the cheese plate to Marlene.
And Lauren's plate. I'm sorry, but I have no idea what this is.
I confess that I stood around eating a bite or two also. Such a classy way to dine in a nice place like that.
When I first started taking the pictures, I was kind of disappointed that there were lamps in the frame, but now I kind of like it. I'm not sure why. Maybe it adds "visual interest".
When we got to the bus stop someone glanced at Gram's anniversary button and she was so used to people congratulating her that before they said anything she just blurted out, "Yep, thats right. 60 Years!" The poor guy was like, "ah, um, ah...okay." I'm not sure that he had even read her anniversary button. That quote was in the running for being the title of this trip report.

3 judys plus 1 judy plus 1 judy
oops....make that 5 + 1 + 0 judys
Make that 5 + 2 + 0 Judy's!
And ask Judy to please, the next time you guys go to a nice restaurant, don't wear the same color clothes as the restaurant features all over the table.........
I'm still not sure about that one, and wouldn't really be surprised no matter what the Rules Committee says is the correct answer!!!
4 Judys in the first post: 2 entering the restaurant, one foot in the floor shot, one portrait at the table.
1 Judy in the second post in the family shot.
0 in the third. Grand total of 5 Judys.
Be back to comment later...
well if you want specifics then
update 1
stairs going by the wall =1
entering the restaurant.=1
foot of the floor pic =1
reflection in the ceiling art work =1
smiling at the table =1
update 2
whole family picture =1
update 3
zero judys
some might try and argue a judy in the picture of her meal but not enough evidence to say that is a body part in the plate picture.
so my answers are up above
and since you liked your meal very much tell marv to never order it they will take it off the menu after he does.

I think the post #2 picture #'s are right
Nope the #'s are wrong #4 the plate pic and #11 the family pic
Post #3- none unless you count the picture of the electrical water parade taken by her..
Now that I've had time to get home and look closely at the pictures, I will go with 6+1+0 Judy's................my final answer!
I giggled at your Lew Zealand joke/diatribe.
Your meals at the Flying Fish look good! I've always wanted to try that restaurant but I am not a lover of seafood and well, just too picky I guess! Maybe some day. Maybe I'll just go and try the artisanal cheeses. They look yummy!
Great IllumiNations pics! I love that show. <3
and since you liked your meal very much tell marv to never order it they will take it off the menu after he does.
Glad to see yall enjoyed the Flying Fish! My family and I have eaten there the last several times we have gone & it has become our favorite place to dine. We'll be in Disney staying at the Boardwalk in a few weeks and have reservations for the Fling Fish!! Great trip report.

Well, now that you've explained the backstory, you might as well use it.
Or at least hover enough to make them uncomfortable.
That's odd... when I have something that I like and is perfectly cooked, I tend to be a little bit greedy and defensive of my food.
I'm glad you all enjoyed it!
Well, that was nice of Chris to bring a celebratory dessert, and it was nice of Gram and Poppy to share.
They don't really take away from the fire and explosions... so I'd say it makes a nice added touch. Good job.
Well, if you're taking the long way back, then getting to enjoy a little extra something like that makes it worthwhile.
Not that it really matters...
I can't even imagine how hard it must have been to refrain from, well certain comments surrounding all that cheese.
Well done.
See there, I was going to say that was the TR intro photo, and then you spoiled my thunder.
OMG that had me laughing with all the "vultures"...
My last trip was my first time through the International Gateway and first time around the Boardwalk. I agree. I would really love to stay there.
The appeals process is now open.
Time's up. The appeals process is now closed.
The winner of this round is Dan!
The appeals process is now open.
ahh too bad marv missed that window of opportunity.Time's up. The appeals process is now closed.
I liked the recommendation you made on his thread....he should eat at Pinocchio Village Huas.
So glad Rosie is away on a family vacation so Dan had a chance to almost catch up to her! Now if she will only stay away a while longer he just MIGHT catch her before the end of the contest!!!

Thank you! We enjoyed it. Every night should end with a fireworks show, don't you think?
I already told you how much I was going to protest in my PM............ Too much stinking blue everywhere, although I still think you lied about update three and Judy's blue dress IS reflected in SE in about 5 panels...........

Joke counted. And on Lew Zealand!
Eric's twin, separated at birth, oh the poor people that get stuck next to that child. Mine, not yours.
It's still a cool picture!
Love the dessert and Pensive James. Nice vultures! Couldn't wait for it to be passed around huh? You all clean up nice. I'm glad you enjoyed your dinner so much, we absolutely loved it there. I'd been thinking of it as a date night option but I suppose it could be a splurge night as well for the group. Hmnnnnn
Of course they wanted to go swimming, you had a new kid in town! Way to take one for the team.
Pretty funny about Gram's comment.
And you know how I feel about the Boardwalk, we added on there
The whole area is so pretty. No panorama- I'm shocked.
What no bathroom pics??? So much for being a DIS-a-holic.
Yes that area is kind of like that- bathrooms are in "shared" areas. Kind of like ABC commisary sharing the bathroom with Sci- Fi.
Thanks - I really want to try FF soon.
Jim Gaffigan voices in your head?
I do want to thank you for going around the table so I can see everyone and what they are wearing.
Okay - You sold me I'll have that!!!
Oh Man - now I have to choose???
More to chosse from .
Hmmmm-More choices. but I have to know what's in it.....
That is great when that happens.
AWWWWW And now I know what I will have for dessert. But the Trio of concessions on the Boardwalk looks intriguing.
Holy round about way.
Mary Ellen and Cynthia raved about it and I will let you know when I get back in May...
This one is my favorite.
She must have just caught the end. I bet she didn't beat you by much back to the room.
Unless they changed the route of the EWP --- Yup I bet she waited at the Boardwalk for a bus for a bit... You probably did not arrive too much after she and James got to the resort.
Great update! I'm nowhere near a classy or adventurous enough eater to enjoy those tastes, but its nice to look
those lamps do give a nice feel to the fireworks pics, not sure why but they do...
And I do remember that photo from the last TR, which reminds me, I should read It again!
I have always wanted to eat at the Flying Fish.
I HIGHLY recommend staying at an Epcot resort.
I just love the Electric Water Pageant (the one Judy took a photo of). We recently stayed at Bay Lake Tower and got to watch it every night from our balcony.
Well, of COURSE I would have gotten it. But I'm a little confused here. Do we make up our own joke? Or do we just need Statler and Waldorf to stop by and poke fun at the TR?
No taunting the guests, please.
Whoops. I didn't catch Judy's reflection earlier. C'est la vie.
I'm thinking some kind of seafood?
Ah, nobody there will see you again, anyway.
I think the lamps are cool, too. The wire in between, not so much.
Still, the pictures are awesome! Much better without a tree in the way. Did you use a tripod?
He was about to ask how long it would take for the next bus to arrive.

I found your TR last week and wanted to chime in and say that it seems like a wonderful vacation and your sense of humor is a joy to read. Can't wait to read the rest.
ahh too bad marv missed that window of opportunity.
Looks like a wonderful celebration! I'm glad you enjoyed your meal!
We really enjoyed the cheese plate - I think there were a few more cheeses and less accompaniments for $2 less when we ordered it - such is life.
I actually got all the Judies right this time, even if I am about 31 hrs late.
Catching up on the Dis!!!
Hahaha you KNOW I would have gotten your Lew reference!!! Love him!
Your meal at FF looks really good! We're planning on going there during our honeymoon, I can't wait to try it!
Glenn have started my TR !!New Rosie link Go to my siggie and it's there !!!!!!!!!!!
Hey see if I text AND call you again whilst I am away !!! Glenn I didn't have a chance so can I have a point for agreeing with Dan before I even checked your final answer!!
Another 5 seconds and Marv would have appealed Oh wait a minute he did anyway!!!He is consistant !!!!!
