70 to Freezing in 7 hours. A Nov/Dec 2011 trip report. Updated 4/28

[petals]

We saw the Sergio was preforming, so we walked up and that's when the show was over! Maybe next time....

He was funny. He's not one of those things i'd make a point of seeing but it was just we were in the area at the time.

What a bunch of cute Duffys, Kadence wants one, so maybe for Christmas I'll think about getting her one.

Duffy is adorable only problem is there's to many outfits to choose from

Love all the added photos & video. Very nice!

I like your pictures. That cropped photopass pic of the greenery across Main Street looks really amazing.

Thank you both

Bad day bleh have a trip update

Day 5, part 5:
So when I left you we were hanging out in Italy killing time by watching Sergio. Why? Because Candlelight Processional was on that day and we had a Candlelight Processional lunch package in Via Napoli. I think it was at 2 or 2.15 or there abouts. I know we paid at 2.59
Anyways we went to check in I took pics:

Then they explain how the meal would work, what we were entitled to and that to go back after we paid and they would give us our Candlelight processional entrance sticker. All fine they gave us our seat then (excuse me gentlemen while I go into schoolgirl mode) but an ultra HOT waiter came over and said something along the lines of "Hi I'm Andrea I am from Verona and I will be your waiter today" in a cute little Italien/English accent but he was hot and I was like Momma can I get one of those from Santa As I looked around the male waiters were all pretty cute but anyways on to more important things like food. Hot Andrea took our drinks order first and then came back with some bread and oils for us:

He also explained we were allowed one starter, one main and one dessert each with our package. So for Starter I got Salami e Provolone (otherwise known as Salami and cheese) which looks like so:

Momma got Eggplant Caponata (otherwise known as eggplant salad) :

For the main we both had some sort of chicken which I can't find the name of on the menu online but looks like this:

Then stuffed as we were we managed to fit in dessert. Momma had Torta di "Mamma Rosario" (otherwise known as apple and almond cake) :

and I had Gelato e Sorbetto (sorbet with a choice of flavours. I chose lemon) :

Momma also got a strawberry drink which was extra because you were only allowed one type of drink if you changed you paid. The meal was fabulous and yummy. We paid and got our candlelight processional passes:

And then things started to go a little downhill. During our meal Momma had been looking out window and was noticing the grey clouds coming it. When we looked out after the meal it was pouring rain. We went back in to Via Napoli to use their facilities while waiting for the rain to stop and then the tummy problems I had from the first day where we were travelling came back. However I'm in Disney World now and I'm not going to let rain and a sick stomach (that was not the fault of via napoli) ruin my disney time. While Momma hung out in the door of Via Napoli I took some pics of Italy:

I then went back to Momma we decided to man up get wet (not like we're not used to rain we're from Ireland ) and make a run for our next destination.


Next up Pick a pearl and other stuff (I couldn't think of a title)

I'm sorry you're having a bad day today. I hope it gets better!

Your food looks yummy at Via Napoli. Did y'all enjoy it? I'm thinking about making 1 of our ADRs there for our next trip.

I sure hope you got to feeling better & that the weather improved!

 

[afwdwfan]

Ah... Via Napoli. One of my new favorites! Although I think I like it for different reasons than you.

It is never good when you don't feel well on vacation, but I'm glad you weren't letting it ruin your day.

 

[MEK]

I have to agree with you that all the waiters at Via Napoli are hot and they know it. I was a little giddy during my meal there.

Nice PP pics in your first update and I hope the weather stays dry for the candlelight processional!

 

[Caretames1]

I heard on a different TR that the waiters there were rather attractive!


Your food like good, I think it looks a bit like Chicken Parmesan.
I hope your stomach issues didn't interfere with the rest of your night!

 

[petals]

I'm sorry you're having a bad day today. I hope it gets better!

Thanks. It was mehy! Ever have so many rows with someone you just want to walk away and forget it all! We'll see what happens in next few days but hey dancing tomorrow so get to take out my anger on the floor

Your food looks yummy at Via Napoli. Did y'all enjoy it? I'm thinking about making 1 of our ADRs there for our next trip.

It was yummy def worth going to at least once if not for the food the waiters are hot The food is yummy to though

I sure hope you got to feeling better & that the weather improved!

You'd think the weather improved because it's florida the sunshine state and all that wouldn't you...

Ah... Via Napoli. One of my new favorites! Although I think I like it for different reasons than you.

Lol the scenery there great! The food was really good to though

It is never good when you don't feel well on vacation, but I'm glad you weren't letting it ruin your day.

I think when I'm in disney if I even broke my leg I would crawl around the parks nothing will ruin my disney time lol! Actually that kinda did happen one year I didn't break my leg but sprained my ankle like 12 days before we were due to go to Florida with the dancing school to perform in Magic Kingdom and hospital said no dancing for six weeks I ditched the crutches took pain killers and got on that stage and danced. I was not going to let a stupid weak ankle take away the chance of a lifetime to dance on stage in Magic Kingdom lol!

I have to agree with you that all the waiters at Via Napoli are hot and they know it. I was a little giddy during my meal there.

I even get giddy at the thoughts of them. Think I'll be eating there again. Very yummy place!

Nice PP pics in your first update and I hope the weather stays dry for the candlelight processional!

Thanks

I heard on a different TR that the waiters there were rather attractive! !

Oh they are. It's def worth a visit even for the scenery

Your food like good, I think it looks a bit like Chicken Parmesan.
I hope your stomach issues didn't interfere with the rest of your night!

I don't think it was Parmesan it was a tomato type sauce Pollo something something. It was all very yummy though and I forgot to mention that it was actually cheaper than CM had told me it would be when I rang to book it.

Thanks. It was mehy! Ever have so many rows with someone you just want to walk away and forget it all! We'll see what happens in next few days but hey dancing tomorrow so get to take out my anger on the floor

I sure do know how that feels. I hope it gets better!

It was yummy def worth going to at least once if not for the food the waiters are hot The food is yummy to though

I'm glad to hear the food was yummy....at least I can truthfully sell it to Ed that way so I can go check out the eye candy!

You'd think the weather improved because it's florida the sunshine state and all that wouldn't you...

Oh no! This doesn't sound very good....

 

[afwdwfan]

I'm glad to hear the food was yummy....at least I can truthfully sell it to Ed that way so I can go check out the eye candy!

We had a waitress, and there are some good looking Italian women too... just sayin'

 

[jenseib]

I have also heard they have some nice "views" at Via Napoli. I want to give it a try...for the food of course..

 

[petals]

I sure do know how that feels. I hope it gets better!

well had more rows this morning and then things started picking up because have work experience for both radio and tv sorted now for college. Now going in to do proposal pitch for my radio documentary so we'll see how that goes

I'm glad to hear the food was yummy....at least I can truthfully sell it to Ed that way so I can go check out the eye candy!

Yup two great excuses to visit. The eye candy and good food!

I didn't notice that lol! Maybe it's in the job description must be italian and hot!

I have also heard they have some nice "views" at Via Napoli. I want to give it a try...for the food of course..

Yes the food.... it's def worth a visit for both reasons though.

 

[amandaw]

Yeah, but Ed better be focused on his food! Think I could put in a request upon checking in that we need a male waiter?

Oh no! I'm so sorry! Sending some pixie dust your way so that things will improve.

It's definitely going to stay on my ADR list!

I think you should to

Oh no! I'm so sorry! Sending some pixie dust your way so that things will improve.

On the plus side they liked my radio documentary idea. I'm not to sure how the telly one will go tomorrow though. Dancing was great although I think the teacher is a little confused at what intermediate is because it's a little to advanced for us all But it's all good. I love my dancing

It's definitely going to stay on my ADR list!

good plan.

 

[petals]

^ look up for a limited time update

Also random but my old dance school are going to Disneyland Paris in the morning. I've put a shout out if anyone has space in their case to bring me Don't think it's going to work out though

That's great! Best of luck for tomorrow!

It's good to have an outlet, such as dance. I love all of the photopass & dancing pictures you posted above. Thanks for sharing them with us!

 

[afwdwfan]

I understand your concerns about putting pics out there for anybody to see on the internet. I definitely had to consider the pros and cons before posting in my tr. Thanks for sharing though.

The dance trip looks like it must have been fun. Those are some neat places to get to perform.

 

[petals]

Thanks will need it. I don't think they're going to like the television idea as much as the radio one

I luv dancing. I stopped for three years and I missed it soooooo much. Would have loved to go back to my old dance school but it didn't work time or transport wise. New class is good though and learned so much even in just ten weeks this term. Great stress reliever as well especially those nosey hard shoes and stamping the floor with them

I understand your concerns about putting pics out there for anybody to see on the internet. I definitely had to consider the pros and cons before posting in my tr. Thanks for sharing though.

Yeah I don't mind facebook because you can control who sees those more or less but on forums anybody can see them.

It was amazing. That was actually our fourth time performing in a Disney park. We had danced in Disneyland Paris in 2002 and 2003 and were spotted by Walt Disney World rep or something of the sort and asked to come over so we went in 2005 and performed in Magic Kingdom and the Hard Rock Cafe at universal and they went mental for us. In Magic Kingdom the first year we danced in the Galactic theatre or whatever it was called in Tomorrowland and it was an outdoor theatre. When we finished dancing that year they said we had broke park records because it was the first time since the park opened that that theatre had been full for the entire duration of a performance. They said normally people wander in and out but don't stay for the whole show and for us they did. It was amazing so we went back in 2008. At the start of my 2010 trip report there was a flashback trip report to the 2008 dance trip if you want some extra bedtime reading it's linked in the sig And today the old dance school are gone to Paris again and I'm not jealous at all. I'm only shouting go away at the computer with every new status update or picture of them in the airport they post on facebook
