Glad it wasn't a big deal to be late for your lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern. Did the dessert make it all worth while? Seems like I hear mixed things about that meal in general, but overall very positive things on the dessert so trying to figure out if it is worth it to try it or not
I think they made some changes to the menu here after our visit? I'm not sure, but I've heard mixed things too. This was our only experience here, so I don't have much to compare it to. The dessert was very good. Was it the best thing I've ever had at Disney? Well, no, but it was tasty.
That's definitely exciting that Izzy will be able to ride BTMRR - I know with Peter I definitely felt the need to hold him in with my arm as he is so much smaller than me so when the lap bar hit me it was still like a foot away from him and he felt pretty not safe
I kept that in mind with Izzy, but tried to pull the bar pretty tight on me, so it wasn't too bad for her. And she loved it!
I think the biggest drawback to the Magic Kingdom is the lack of shade (stupid utilidoors preventing the growing of trees) and it really shows when waiting for a parade - even when you get reserved seating ... glad you enjoyed the parade though
Yes, it was SO HOT.
Shade would have been lovely. But worth it for the great parade view!
That is a cute picture of you talking very serious like with Izzy and having the Superstar Diet Coke with you
Thanks, it made me laugh.
Hello, it's been a while since I commented on your report (oops, bad Dis-er). But when I saw those parade pictures I just had to drop in and say "holy sweet mother of Disney channel stars!" Now, as a father of a tween girl (is that what they call 9 year olds these days?) I know all too well who those kids in the cars were, since the movies/TV shows are pretty much on repeat play in our house. My daughter would have lost her mind at that parade. Perhaps in 5 years or so you'll know who they are too. Just in case you're curious (and since Izzy might watch the movies one day when she's older, so you can tell her you saw them in a parade), the stars are (in order of your pictures): Teen Beach Movie, Bunk'd, and Descendants.
Hello!
No worries on the comments, though always nice to know I haven't scared people away.
And thank you for the info! I had no idea and, frankly, I've only even heard of the third one. But, yes, in a few years, that may change.
I only recognized Callie from The Fosters!
Also good to know. If it's not on Disney Junior, we're not watching it yet.
Glad to see there wasn't an issue checking in late to LTT. And I have to agree with you about the kid's dessert. It rarely does come out. However, I won't lie, I kind of like that, because most times Landon doesn't eat his meals and we don't like to let him have a treat when he does that. Of course, since moving to Germany that has gone out the window, because Germans love kids and the minute they walk into a restaurant they are handed gummy candies. One time, Landon even got a piece of strawberry cheesecake just for showing up with Alex to pick up our dinner order...
That being said, though, I'm sure glad they took the ice cream off the bill. That was only fair.
Yes, that's my issue - being charged for something I didn't get! But, I agree with you, I don't love throwing treats at her for barely eating her meal. But, if they bring it, at least I have the option to steal it.
No matter how many times I see it, I always enjoy seeing photos of FoF parade. And good thinking with the changing pad. Having kids and all their essentials comes in handy at times.
That changing pad was a lifesaver at that parade! I mean, we really didn't get much use out of it otherwise, as she'd potty-trained before this trip, but it was the best sidewalk cushion! And I agree - FoF is so visually amazing!
The Tinkerbell photos are adorable. It's fun seeing pictures of Izzy so young. She seems so grown up now! (And I guess she is...about to ride BTMRR and all.)
Thanks! Haha, it's so hard for me to do this report because kids change so much in 1.5 years at these ages. But it's fun to see how she is still so much herself, even at this younger age.
Yay for 5000 posts! Izzy is looking so big! Beautiful family photos.
Thanks - on all counts!
What an amazing morning-- from a ship to the castle in just a few hours!! She looks so happy meeting Tink. And LTT!!!! My favorite dessert in all the world (Disney and beyond!) Yummmmmm. I can't wait to hear what your next character meal is.
It was a pretty cool feeling to leave the ship and, instead of being depressed about vacation being over, heading to the MK instead! Yes, that Tink meet was really great and I'm glad it worked out that we ended up there. It was a tasty dessert! I can see why it has so many fans. And, since I'm behind on replies, I'm sure you've heard about the next character meal by now.
Ooh thats exciting! Looking forward to hearing about your solo time in MK!
Just wrote up the update! Not sure if I have the energy to proof/post it tonight - but soon, for sure.
So cute! I also love her shirt! Did you have that made special?
Our awesome daycare provider (actually a big Disney fan and on here!) made it for her! Very sweet and we've gotten quite a bit of mileage out of it!
Aw! What a perfect reaction to the castle. Very magical
It really was a great reaction - so impressed and awed.
I have that same look when I watch the parade!
I love it so much!
Ha, it's pretty amazing.
I love meeting Think - she's always a blast!
I agree - she's pretty fun to interact with!
I've noticed the same thing about kids' desserts that are included with meals. Seems to be more optional than guaranteed. Not specifically something I've noticed at Disney though.
Agreed - it's not just at Disney, but anywhere we go out, it seems. The worst is when you ask about it and they act like you're demanding something unusual, even though it's right there on the menu.
I'm glad that you managed to make your ADR and all your FP's. I'm sure even if they'd given you a hard time about being late to BTMRR, you could show them the receipt from LTT and they'd be ok with it... at least that's what I've heard.
Good to know - I didn't even think about showing the receipt. Luckily, it wasn't an issue.
(And, not to brag, but we did pretty good at being on time for things on this recent trip!
)
That really doesn't seem to be a well thought out FP+ for the parade. I mean if I'm going to use a FP+ to see it, I'd kind of like it to be a location that is a tolerable viewing experience. I mean, yeah, I guess your location is pretty great, but not having shade in Florida in the summer is kind of a deal breaker for me.
I know - it was really miserably hot in that area. The sidewalk was scalding.
They could use some umbrellas or something.
