86'd From the Poly? No worries-bring us Margarita's & Wiener Salad! A TFW Meet Aug 08

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Carp! I'm so torn - only because the breakfast doesn't have anything for Maddie - she won't eat scrambled eggs. Evan either. Then I looked at the lunch and it looks skerrry! WTH is that big meatball swimming in gravy supposed to be? But at least I know the kids will eat from the lunch menu. What did you eat?

Oh man . I told you lunch was .
I had the Pulled Pork & Traditional Kjottkake which was some sort of pork thing but all shreaded up (like the one in the pic in the sandwhich) and some veggies and weird stuff. I didn't really eat that much. I think my friends (of the ones who actually ordered ) had some sort of lamb thing that kinda looked like a burger, but didn't taste like it. They weren't too impressed either. We're not very experimental with our eating though.

I don't know what to tell ya, unless you can request something other than eggs for the Akershus thing? I mean they make special requests for people with allergies and stuff, so maybe you can say your kids are allergic to eggs or somethin'.

You're already doing 1900 PF right? We really enjoyed that breakfast, but I'm an Alice fan and was super happy for that one.

Have you guys seen this?

It looks cute, but pricey.

Hi Z!! I wish I could say it's good to be back How was the rest of your trip??

Hi LL! I know how you feel, I went through Disney Depression the week I was back.

It was good, we left MLK Monday.
When you ask us what we did our answer is:
1) Ate
2) Took pictures with tons of characters
3) Rode Haunted Mansion 4 times . Haunted Mansion was to us what Test Track was to Jo and her family.

Then on our drive down I saw that the freakin' Green Bay Packers lost against NY Giants (sorry Giants fans) and I was in line at a rest stop Starbucks and saw the newspaper headline and screamed WHAT!! With many looks .

I can't wait to read about your trip.

Allegiant doesn't fly out of K-Town in August/September. Too slow they say. BUT you could check Greensboro - they fly more often out of there from what I understand. Ok, so off to bed...

They released their schedule yesterday for flights through Aug. 29. $29 every Monday and Friday. I saw a few days here recently that were $19.

WHAT!?!?!? No way!! That's awesome! It really screwed me up last year - they didn't fly so we had to go to Raleigh and of course, pay for parking and a night in a hotel...I should send Allegiant a bill for all the extra money I spent!

Allegiant doesn't fly out of Philly. Man, I would love to get some of those flight prices. I still haven't boi=oked our flight for August

 

[DisneyJo]

All I see is little green lights on

I'm off to buy some Sunsilk!

Me, too!

Don't go blaming me if it doesn't work

Yep....I'm suuuure that's why....

No need to brag Jo.

Hey You needed to it lots more times to be like us

 

[jcc0621]

I am hoping that since LL's light is on she is working on her TR. No pressure LL ]

Yeah no pressure LL

I can't believe we are so close to the 180 day mark for ADR's.

JO, when you call for the wienie fest ADR, can you tape the call, I want to hear the person taking the ressie when you ask for 50 people.
And don't forget to ask for extra wiener salad

I really need to take a look at my plan so I can get those ADR's nailed down. Not that I want the Castle, but Kelly would love that so I want to eat there, preferable P&PP night. Even if no P&PP, Tuesday would still be my MK day, just would get up and get there at opening.

Now, what's this about a cigar bar, I had no idea and frankly am shocked that Buzz didn't. THink the stretchy shorts are getting too tight?

I know I was thinking today I'll say table for 4 at x, table for 4 at y, table for 4 at z and table for 50 at Beirgarten

So time wise we were going for around 5pm is that right?


OK advice please, I was going to book LTT for the character dinner but have read some bad reviews, should I change my mind or not? We are already doing CP, O'Hana (brekkie) and 1900 Park Fare so have some character meals, the girls still like the characters and I would prefer not to line up for ages to see them!!!

Any recomendations?

Too funny Mo!!! Now there's a mental picture I can't get out of my head....

I haven't had LTT for dinner, just lunch. Why do you want so many character meals? Just wonderin'....

Ok, I gotta get back to work on my TR!!

I'm going to go play some more while awaiting that update....

I've been trying to write a review for the new Tutto Italia. I just found this over on the restaurant boards:

"DH ordered Tortelloni (alla Panna Tartufata - veal ravioli with white truffle cream and a barolo wine reduction). He rolled his eyes in ecstasy after the first bite."

yep, that says it all! That stuff was yum-mo!!!

 

[PrincessV]

I know I was thinking today I'll say table for 4 at x, table for 4 at y, table for 4 at z and table for 50 at Beirgarten

That's gonna be great!

I'm not a fan of LTT - can I put in a vote for GG?!

 

[jcc0621]

OK. One of the reasons I picked this was becasue Jim loves Thanksgiving Dinner and Chip & Dale are there which Jimmy really missed seeing last year. I only have 1 1/2 days scheduled at EPCOT and one of those is Weinerfest day.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Jo, my family really liked LTT. It was a lot of fun and I thought the food was good. I especially liked the ham and the mashed potatoes.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

True

I would love to hear the CMs reaction.

LTT is awesome for lunch.
If you want the Fab 5 there's always Chef Mickey's for breakfast too.
As V suggested, GG was yummo too. You're sure to get Chip 'n Dale there, but I think the other characters are rotating so it's not certain who you'll get.

So was the Lasagna. Although my Penne was Al Dente and did not taste too good.

And the Petrifolles (sp?) for Dessert. :::rool::::

Oh great! Now I'm drooling all over my keyboard! I'm supposed to be on a diet and now all I can think about is pasta & truffle cream...

Guess I gotta try this restaurant...

DSINEY DREAMS

I had a dream last night. We were at AK and T was riding Expedition Everest with us (something we had talked about since Andy won't ride and the kids can't) anyway we left Jimmy, Maddie and Evan with Andy and me, T, Jim and Andrew rode EE (which I have not ridden yet) as we were getting off the ride the Dream Squad was there. They awarded us the castle suite and because I couldn't take it (my parents are CM's) I literally threw T at them so she could win. She landed in a heap at there feet But, she Andy and the kids got to stay in the suite

Wouldn't that be nice if it really happens And just remeber who got ya there T even if it was with a few bruises along the way
