Wow, that's some good photography! How did you make the pitcher of water disappear in the 2nd W. Puck pic?
We were on pins and needles about the dude on the motorcycle with you -- I kept thinking, that is not a good omen for a trip! But looks like things went well, otherwise -- good for Jacob getting to see his friends!
I absolutely love the room you guys got -- would have been oo'ing and aw'ing over everything, even the soap. Isn't funny how, even with something as magical as that room, you can't get that "first trip to WDW" feeling back again, unless you're with someone who hasn't experienced it?
Anyway, can't wait for the parks!!
The only different in the two pics is one used an exposure of 1/40 (that's the second one that you view the inside of the restaurant), the one where you are attracted to the view, the exposure is 1/80. I may be wrong, but I believe that means the lens was open longer in the shot of the restaurant. Not sure if it matters, but of course when looking through the view finder, I was trying to get the view in one and the interier in the other. And as usual, no flash was used. And you will have to show Robert my pics on this trip. Him and I had a discussion about how inside pics without a flash always have a yellow tint to them, well I finally got away from that. And I thought I needed a better camera. Just a little photography education.
I kind of had that first trip for our girls only trip!
Funny I noticed the table was set in the second WGP pic. lol I love the night pics at POR.
SG and I vote for the macadamia nut chicken at WGP next time. We enjoyed it there together one day after SG raved about how good it was and she was absolutly right about it.
If your meatloaf isn't staying together you probably need more eggs in it. If you want a good meatloaf recipie try a box of savory herb stuffing mix, eggs, bbq sauce and then whatever else you want to put cheese, onion, garlic etc. It is simple and Will and Al said they have yet to find meatloaf anywhere else they like as much as the above. I have no clue because anything with ground beef grosses me out. lol
I wants to see the redheads with Jonas!!!!!!
The set table was on purpose I wanted a pic of the restaurant with a clean table.
I'm not a big chicken fan and never order it in restaurants. I know, I am weird. I'll mention it to Jonas though.
I might have to try that meatloaf recipe. Funny thing is, my issue with Wolfgang's was it seemed to dry, but I think that is how meatloaf is suppose to be. I like it juicy, so maybe I just like meatmush.
And don't encourage my husband!!!!
Mel, I am so enjoying this trip report. When you know the people involved it makes it so much better. Not to mention those beautiful pictures. You are so talented.
I could make do with a smaller feeling room if the beds were big and comfy. Still trying to get used to sleeping in a queen instead of a king here.
The reason putting away the laundry is so much harder than doing it is because there is not a machine to do it. If I ever had a huge house again (not likely or wanted) I would have a big central closet with the facilities inside it so you could just hang the clothes up as they go and have built in dressers with sections for each person's clothing. It would also be a dressing room. I are lazy. I forgot TWO dryers as it takes twice as long to dry as wash.
I am with Jonas about not sitting with your back to the area. You are not safe any old where and you and Jacob can relax knowing he 'has your backs".
You cannot get the Macadamia Chicken at the WGExpress anymore. I think it is in the $30 range in the sit down and neither one of us is inclined to spend that, sans drinks, dessert and tip. It is sooooo good though.
Be aware that Bob Jackson is intoxicating. That an a pitcher of beer and a low tolerance for alcohol. I know.
I will sit here, somewhat patiently, for the next installment.

Reading your laundry idea, got me thinking. I'm want a separate laundry room off my bedroom, and then one for the rest of the house. Thankfully all the guest bedroom are close together, makes putting it up a little easier. By the was, Jonas' is still sitting in the basket. I can leave it on the bed and he will put it in the basket or on top of the dresser.
I'm thinking about asking Jonas if he would want to try to check out Bob Jackson again when we go in October. Friday night I'm sure Epcot will be so busy we won't want to stick around and Jonas doesn't care about Illuminations.
I think part of the reason we couldn't figure out what we wanted at Wolfgang's was the prices. We had some expensive meals coming and it was sort of a "Why are we doing this to ourselves?" moment.
You don't have to wait to long for an update.
I love your night time pics at POR! I might have to go find that book you got. My night time and flash shots are lousy.
Would you get the meatloaf again? I always get a bowl of butternut squash soup at WGP.
It's Understanding Exposure, let me know if you need a link. I know
Amazon has it, I ordered from Books-A-Million just to give them a little business. The book even gives advice when using a point-and-shoot camera, so it really is a good book.
I probably won't get the meatloaf again. Honestly I think it will be awhile before we go back. They had changed the menu and seems like there wasn't a lot that we wanted.
