I'm Just Here for the Food. The Disney Food. April 3-11, 2015 - Complete (6.25.15)

[annie170]

I love the atmoshpere of Sci-Fi Dine-In, but find the food to be just so so. We weren't impressed with the steak a few years ago also. When we're on the Dining Plan, we usually head to Mama Melrose for a more substantial meal for that dining credit.

When you think about it, the dining options are really limited at Hollywood Studios, as well as the attractions!

 

[KathyM2]

Well the onion rings looked good...and of course the atmosphere! Sorry DS wasn't feeling great. How cool to sit in a car though!

I agree that there isn't much there for us. It is my least favorite park. We didn't stay much longer.

It was cool and MY food was good. I think if you stick with the sandwiches and burgers you will be fine.

Nice review of Sci-Fi. Hoping to try it sometime.

Super cute!

 

[KathyM2]

Those are awesome!! Half of me is glad that around these parts usually someone just does a collection and we all sign the card and get a gift card for the teacher...but the other half thinks it would be nicer if people gave more personal gifts like those...they are adorable.

On the way out, I got this shirt.

When we got back to the room, DD wanted to go to the pool, so we chose the Paddock Pool since it had a slide.

I had two of these. Long Island Iced Tea.

And well – I didn’t think they were very strong, but DH said I was a mess whne we got back and I don’t remember what we had for dinner and I had a headache in the morning. So yeah – they may have been stronger than I thought. Haha

Here’s a video of the slide. DD came down last.

That pool was fun. DD loved it. I liked that it had a bar. Well, until the next morning anyway.

Day 8 – Part 1

So, as I mentioned in my previous post, I had a headache on this morning due to the Long Island Iced Tea on the previous day. With lots of strong coffee and the proper medication, I was good to go and we headed out for Magic Kingdom around 11:30.

[/URL]

I don’t think we ever rode the monorail this trip. The lines were always too long for us. They had all three Ferry Boats running, so that was the way to go.

[/URL]

[/URL]

The noon Festival of Fantasy was just finishing up.

[/URL]

[/URL]

We skirted the crowd and checked in for our lunch at Crystal Palace.

[/URL]

We had great service and the food was really good. Here is a photo of desserts.

[/URL]

After that, we headed over to Tomorrowland

DH and the kids did Stitch (ugh)

[/URL]

While I went on Carousel of Progress.

[/URL]

[/URL]

I can never get the kids on this, so it was nice to do it by myself and revel in the nostalgia.

I love me some old sewing machines, so I had to zoom in and get a photo (no flash)

[/URL]

After that, I met up with the family to ride Buzz Lightyear.

[/URL]

Then we rode the Peoplemover

Love that ride.

Next up - Day 8 - Part 2

 

[KathyM2]

Love the Peoplemover too! Glad you enjoyed lunch at CP...I have wondered what the lunch food is like there...Why "ugh" for Stitch? Just asking because I haven't been on for years and if it's a motion sick thing...I will pass next time too!!

 

[annie170]

Your teacher gifts are adorable! Why don't I teach kids with parents like you!? Working at the high school level, it's rare for me to see any type of gift from students.

Whoa! Long Island Iced Teas! I can't go anywhere near those.

I love the Crystal Palace, but the last time we were there we waited forever for our check. Also, Tigger never came by our table, even after me asking twice. Can you tell I'm slightly bitter?

I would ride the Carousel of Progress with you! I love that ride. It's especially great to relax in air conditioning on a hot day. Or take a little snooze!

Food at CP is Good. I highly recommend. Stitch is just UGH. It is dark and it smells bad and the bar that comes down over your shoulders is too tight. I don't see how anyone likes it. But DH will always go with the kids and that is OK by me.

Thanks!! I gave gifts to my son's teachers, too.

Neither can I apparently.

We are OK with just eating and not bothering with characters for now. That might chance, but we just wanted to eat this time.

I love it!!

Next up Day 8 part 2

After the peoplemover, we had a couple more hours before our FP’s for Seven Dwarves, so we hit some of the rides/attractions that didn’t have much of a wait.

DD rode this.

All of did this. Move ALL the way down, please.

We checked out Belle’s village.

[URL=http://s1092.photobucket.com/user/jecskc/media/April%202015/Day%208/DSC02353.jpg.html]

Rode the Little Mermaid.

[/URLhttp://s1092.photobucket.com/user/jecskc/media/April 2015/Day 8/DSC02347.jpg.html]

How did you ride all of those rides during Spring Break you ask? Where was everyone, you ask?

In line for 7 dwarves.

This wrapped all of the way around to Storybook Circus. But we had FP’s, so we were good to go.

It was pretty hot, so DD went and got wet at the Circus train at Storybook Circus.

We rode Peter Pan with our last set of FP’s for the day. Another one of my favorites.

We used some snack credits for a Dole Whip.

And it looks like we did ride the monorail once. On our way out for the day.

Next up – Day 8 dinner.[/url][/url][/url][/url][/url][/url][/url][/url][/url][/url][/url][/url][/url][/url]

 

[KathyM2]

I want that Dole Whip NOW. You did seem to get a lot of rides in though...which is awesome of course. I still can't decide on whether to try to get a FP+ for 7DMT....my DD didn't want to ride it last time...but maybe I should just get one...I guess we could just skip it or just go for the queue and use the chicken exit. It's too bad you can't give your FP to someone if you don't use it. Great pic of the GF from the monorail!

You need to ride it!! It isn't scary at all. Just like Big Thunder but only half as long. It is a fun little coaster.

Day 8 dinner.

Once we got back to the room and settled for the night, DH and the kids went to Artists Palette for dinner.

DD got another flatbread pizza.

[/URLhttp://s1092.photobucket.com/user/jecskc/media/April 2015/Day 8/DSC02370.jpg.html]

And a cookie for dessert.

DS got Chicken nugs with house chips.

He got a cookie, too but it was scarfed immediately.

DH and I split these two entrees.

Chicken Parmesan

Both were very good.

I got a Rice Krispy treat for dessert.

And DH got this container of ice cream. This counted as dessert on the dining plan. For realz.
