A Love Affair With Us And The DxDP (W/Pics): 7/13: Snacks! Pg. 12

[librarygeek]

I know what you mean about not being able to eat the snacks! I'm on the regular dining plan and I'm worried it will be too much food! But those snacks all looked quite delicious...

I know this is a dining review, but I think I read that you stayed at the Boardwalk, and was wondering what you thought of it.

Your dining review is great, BTW!!!

OMG. I really need to finish this thing. Work started back and I had "life things" to deal with.

Boardwalk was great. We got a room right near the elevators overlooking one of the gardens. We specifically requested a room near the elevators so we wouldn't have to walk far.

I loved it. And would absolutely stay there again!

Glad you liked Boardwalk!!

That's smart to choose a room near the elevators. We were there in January and if I remember correctly, there is only one area where the elevators are located and it seemed like it took forever to walk to the room. Especially walking from the parking lot to the room....whew! What a hike.

If you had to choose between Boardwalk and Beach Club, which would be your favorite? Just curious.

This next "review" isn't about any restaurant or snack stop. It's specifically about the Boardwalk, and the special something they did for us.

After we had eaten at Le Cellier, we headed back over to the Boardwalk to take a rest and to shower off before dinner at Flying Fish. I was taking a shower while UncleR was downstairs taking a wee little smoke break.

Upon getting out of the shower, I was resting (collapsed?) on the bed waiting for her to return when I heard a knock at the door.

My first thought was, "I wonder why she's not using her key?" I hopped up and ran to the door and started to turn the knob. And then I realized I was, ummmm, not presentable to be opening any door. So, rather than scar the person on the other side of the door should it not be my wife, I said, "May I ask who's there?"

"Boardwalk amenities"...is what I heard back.

(Crap. I can't open the door like this!)

"Could you give me just a minute, please?"

I quickly made myself presentable and answered the door to this:

When the woman brought this beauty in to our room, all she said was: "Happy Honeymoon!" And she was gone into the endless Boardwalk hallways again.

I thought maybe UncleR had sent a nice little treat to our room. And then I opened the card and saw this:

We don't know how they knew and we don't know how they found out, but they did, and they sent us what we now call "Our Wedding Cake".

Once the kind lady left the room, I was alone again. Where was UncleR? I wanted her to be here to see our present!

When she walked in a few minutes later, I practically jumped on her in excitement and squealed: "Look what they sent us!!!"

Apparently, she had been downstairs taking pictures in the Boardwalk Bakery for our dining report.

We didn't touch the white chocolate Mickey or the strawberries until we got home a few days later. We didn't have room due to being too full from the food. We did try a strawberry and it was yummy. We're saving our Mickey though...

The above is the reason why I will say a million times, if you're even considering honeymooning at Disney, I would urge you to push yourself in that direction. They treat you wonderfully and add all sorts of special little touches. A few days ago we sent a thank you note straight to the Boardwalk. We both know we wouldn't have received the same treatment anywhere else in the world. Disney recognizes special occasions and marriages in a way no other organization does, including those of same sex couples. The love was flowin'...the Boardwalk made sure of that!

Aww, what a nice surprise that was for both of you!!

You said you saved the white chocolate Mickey....did you freeze it? Maybe you could pop it out on your one-year anniversary to celebrate!

I just noticed that the strawberries are decorated as tuxedos. How cleaver is that?

Wow! Great report and big congrats!

We have DxDDP for our wedding/honeymoon for 3 weeks - I actually don't know how we are going to cope! So glad we have a Flying Fish ADR

Ok, just added a Flying Fish ADR because of your review, Goof!

First, best wishes to you & UncleR -- may you have a lifetime of happiness together.

Second, I am LOVING your reviews. In fact, this: "Oh my gawd. You have to taste this spit. It's the best spit I've ever had." might just be the best thing I have ever read in a dining review.
