What a fun morning in MK. You all sure got a lot done! I love the BTMRR pis and the SM pics. Super cute!!!!
THIS is the picture I seem to take every trip lol! Love this quote.Even being soaked, It was a Satisfactual ride!
I get that but I also don't like being right in the front. I feel like you don't get the "rocking" motion at all. I think the mid-back is the best spot.We were in the back, which I was slightly bummed about, as you con't get a good view of the witch.
So do I! It's simple but fun And for whatever reason both boys enjoy it so we get to ride often.We love this ride.
Yikes! That is ridiculous. Sounds like pre-ordering is the way to go.We waited a full 30 minutes to get from the begining of that room into the room where you order. We were hungry and getting impatient!!!
Speaking of ridiculous, what is that even???? Saddest portion I think I've ever seen.
We've only eaten here once, but this is exactly what I got and enjoyed it very much. Jason wasn't a big fan though so we haven't been back.
Now I love olives, but canned ones should not be on a nicoise salad. I'm pretty sure they are kalamatas when I had it a few years backMy only complaint, I am not a big olive fan and a) you can't ask them to not put them on, again see the ordering issue and b) they were canned olives... I feel like they should have been fewer of them but a better quality.
Yes! All. The. Time. I swear each trip just looks like the one before because I seem to take the same exact pictures of the same exact thingsDoes anyone take the same picture over and over again. I am pretty sure I have many versions of this treehouse...
I know! And the problem is, with the way you order, you can't just ask for something else or a add side to your order. it's too late!Oh man Morgan's lunch does look disappointing, especially compared to Gwen's! I'm shocked that is considered a kids meal. Like what if the kid orders shrimp and decides they don't like it? There's not even a side to munch on!
We've gotten hit by this in the front before. Much worse than the drop.
Def not! We will always preorder from now on.We preordered both of our BoG visits and it was super quick. I didn't realize we were missing anything in the other room, but it doesn't sound like it was worth losing 30 minutes for.
I would stick with beer from now on. They can't mess that up. Well, they could... it could be warm beer, blek!I was unimpressed with my BoG adult drinks as well. Being on the DDP, I didn't mind because it was included, but I wouldn't pay OOP for those drinks.
BOG line was rough! But the food was good and I am glad we got back into the restaurant. It had been awhile.And then followed by a long line at BOG! But I'm glad it was a good lunch, except for the disappointing cupcakes!
Ha! I know. I am pretty sure I laughted out loud when I read it!Morgan’s take on Jungle Cruise made me giggle!
Neither have we! We usually stop to see one or two but keep moving through that area.Thanks for the photos of the Ariel queue. I always take a picture of the sign for the game but we’ve never actually been in line long enough to play it!
And Lunch is ALOT cheaper than trying to do dinner!I agree it's not the best but we do like eating in Beast's castle.
Right?!?! It was silly. And $$$$$This isn't a child's meal, it's half a toddler meal.
Exactly!She's working on her Senior picture poses early.
The que is really nice and if we didn't have a reservation, I probably wouldn't have minded, it wasn't that bad just a timing issue.We got stuck in a long Mermaid ride before. At least there are things to look at.
2 more pieces of shrimp and a bigger serving of applesauce and she probably would have been alot happier.This looks good! Too bad about Morgan's two bites of food....that is such a small serving!! Gwen's meal and your meal look good though. I loved the soup too!
They really need an option upgrade a kids meal. Alot of the adult meals were too big or too fancy for Morgan.Morgan's dish compared to Gwen's was crazy. If you're going to make the kids' portions small, at least do it with all the dishes. Seems flawed that there could be that huge a difference between the two.
Def!!!Yikes! That is ridiculous. Sounds like pre-ordering is the way to go.
It really was. And Shrimp wasn't on the adult menu, so she couldn't order that either. She would have been better off with the pork dish Andy ordered. Oh well. We probably won't be going back for awhile.Speaking of ridiculous, what is that even???? Saddest portion I think I've ever seen.
They were def canned and it almost looked like they dumped the can right on the salad.Now I love olives, but canned ones should not be on a nicoise salad. I'm pretty sure they are kalamatas when I had it a few years back
Glad I am not alone!Yes! All. The. Time. I swear each trip just looks like the one before because I seem to take the same exact pictures of the same exact things
I was tempted to cancel the reservation a bunch of times. But desided to keep it. I really wanted to go inside again. It was worth it for that. And we will do it again in a couple years probably. Def not a must do but worth doing once or twice.What a fun morning! Your ride selfies are amazing. Sounds like lunch could have been better - I haven't been to BoG since 2015 and I hesitate to go again for many of the reasons you've commented about. But your salad did look great!
It really was fun. I hope it's still there when we go in a couple weeks. I know that location is known for constantly changing.The bubbling lemonade looks cool!
Ha! They were super shiny!Same! I feel like Gwen and I are on the same wavelength
I hope it is still there. The website is never completely up to date.That lemonade drink looks cool my boys would have liked that for sure.
I'll loan you Jason for a dayNow that we have photopass qith our annual pass, I think we need to step up our game. We need to get more creative!
Now you're getting the hang of itMagic Kingdom_Photo Booth_01
And of course a slightly silly one!
This totally looks like something up Casey's alley. Where was it?Untitled
The dry Ice made the boba balls float around and the lemonade bubble like a hot tub.
Did she just get her ears pierced too? Casey had hers done right before we left and can finally now change themGwen picked out Minnie Ear Rings as she was now able to change her ear rings.
I've never had an interest in the mugs until nowWe headed down (with a beer or two in our old Dinning Plan mugs).
They look so grown up!!!
That is an awesome review. We've never had a great table location so we've ended up going outside.
Man I wanted to order these and was overruled by the family. You have me so regretting that as I love a good dumpling or wonton.Untitled
Braised Beef Short Rib Wontons
Doenjang Miso-Cola-Onion Sauce, Crispy Garlic-Chili Oil, Radish, Pickled Lotus Root
These were soooooo good!!! I could have eaten 6 of these as a meal. The short rib was nice and tender and the Chili oil wasn't too spicy. Morgan even had a little of it.
Y-U-M!!!! I don't think I've ever seen that mac and cheese there. It looks and sounds amazing. I had a total order fail on our last trip and this would have been so much better.Untitled by Ariella Saucier, on Flickr
Oak-fired Filet of Beef
Crème Fraîche Mashed Potato, Jumbo Asparagus, Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette, Triple Garlic Butter
Actually, I lied... I swapped out the mashed potatoes with the Aged Gouda Macaroni and Cheese. And it was a VERY wise decision... It was the highlight for me. Soooo rich and creamy. Yum. And that square dish really would have been a meal for me normally but I had beef as well! the Beef was cooked to how we like it and was really good. But it was beef. I did enjoy it alot but that mac n cheese stole the show.
Her face is everything!
That is me after just about every Disney mealMorgan Tired
Morgan may or may not have fallen asleep on the bench while waiting.
I'm gonna start just writing out quote unquote. It comes across so much more quote unquote expressive.We went to a quote unquote fancy restaurant.
It was the small kiosk across from The Launching Pad. Next to those spritzers... Half the time it used to be closed. The website lists it as selling only churros. I hope they keep it, I feel like it is a perfect Tomorrowland drink!This totally looks like something up Casey's alley. Where was it?
Gwen got hers last summer for her birthday... And our place told her to keep hers in for a full 6 to 9 months before switching.Did she just get her ears pierced too? Casey had hers done right before we left and can finally now change them
Ha! We brought 2 old ones with us, Andy used his mostly to make iced coffee in the morning and mine was for beer by the pool!I've never had an interest in the mugs until now
It was the theme of this whole trip!They look so grown up!!!
Seriously she loved it so much it was silly. Has Casey had it before? I have a feeling she will request to go here again just to have that.Her face is everything!
That is me after just about every Disney meal
You could also get it with a blue powerade too I think. It was nice that it wasn't cardonated. Gwen does NOT like fizzy drinks, so some of the slushes she doesn't like.That Bona lemonade looks delicious, my girls would love it.
Yup! Tore the whole thing out! It is all ramps now, and I believe now ADA compliant. Which is probably good but it is a long walk! Maybe I should see how long it is.The walking escalators are gone from Space Mountain now? Yuck...thanks for preparing me for that long walk.
One slide is a dark tube slide and the other is smaller open slide. So, you get 2 levels of scary-ness. I will say that I don't know for sure if they were heated or not, as I didn't get in. It was also a well shaded area, so the water might be cooler just from being in the shade.I didn't realize there were two slides at the main pool there. I'm surprised the quiet pools weren't heated, but I do have to laugh that a little chilliness wasn't going to stop the girls from swimming.
Seriously, if I had know, I would have started with dessert! And the uber driver was REALLY Chatty!Glad the sushi turned the meal around for Gwen. Have to giggle that the dessert was noteworthy in her daily recap. And that Morgan's was how chatty the Uber drive was!
I love Caribbean Beach. We stayed there a few years ago. And I loved it but Andy wasn't sold on it. I got a good deal with a room only discount this trip and they had just finished the main areas. So we figured why not. We all really liked it. It is a big resort but there are paths that cut threw to the main area. And the farthest section has it's own food service now. So, I think they have made some great updates to the resort! And the food was really good. I haven't gotten to any of the food yet with this trip report but we enjoyed everything that we ended up eating at the resort. Probably some of the best choices! Give it a try! We are staying there again in October and December. Mostly because of the Gondolas and hopefully that will be fairly convenient. But we all liked it enough to stay again.How did you like Caribbean Beach? We booked it for June with a great AP rate but I've never been 100% sold on staying there
The waiter was really great. Top service for sure!How sweet of the waiter to get shawls for the girls!
