Aliens, F&W waddle & food porn-Oct2014 BCV & 1st time DCL (Updated 19Apr2015)

I'm going to go with Monday on the rare chance that I change my mind and decided to go to MVMCP. I know there's a party on Sunday. And you never know - I may decide I just can't miss it.

I hope Sunday and Monday have the same host. That would stink if the better narrator is on Sunday. Well, actually I probably won't book the party for awhile, IF I do decide to do it.

For the last six years, the narrator for the first Sunday in December was the same narrator on Monday so that probably will not change.

So the next question is - WHERE DO WE WANT TO EAT FOR DINNER?

Last year the choices were (in no particular order) Biergarten, Chefs de France, Coral Reef, Garden Grill, La Hacienda de San Angel, Nine Dragons, Restaurant Marrakesh, Rose and Crown, San Angel Inn, Teppan Edo, Tokyo Dining, Tutto Italia and Via Napoli. The dining reservation for the 5:00pm show must be between 1:45 and 2:45. The dining reservation for the 6:45pm show must be between 3:30 and 4:30. The dining reservation for the 8:15 show must be between 5:00 and 6:00. It doesn't matter to us on the restaurant but I would suggest either of the last two shows because it will still be daylight for the 5:00pm show and the CP is so much better at night. Also, in 2014, for the first time, reserved IllumiNations seating was not included in the dining package so I don't know whether it will be included this year. Regardless of what show or restaurant, I think an excursion to La Cava del Tequila might be required either to start the show or close out the night!

Great ending and some super looking trips coming up!! I know Keith would never go for V&A! Way to "froo-froo" as he would put it! I on the other hand would love it!! I have Captain's Grill on our plans for May. I was looking for a place we haven't been and settled on this one...problem with going so much is you eventually have only a few new places to choose from!!

Thanks Tinks! It's a good problem to have when you can't decide which restaurant to revisit. We are still trying those on our bucket list but we'll get there eventually!

So after being away from the Dis for 6 something months yours was one of the trip reports I was most looking forward to! I was worried you might not have done one!

As always enjoyed it immensely. Your insights always crack me up, and then I have to explain to the fiance what I am laughing at and when I tell him he just shakes his head. lol

Sounds like it was a fantastic time just taking it easy and alllll that delicious food! I lol'd when your goatee disappeared mid trip! Nice planning for pirates night!! And that was just crazy and awesome about Paulo's alien theories. I mean kinda scary but fascinating at the same time!

Boo to your MK day being kinda cruddy with crowds with and rude people. We were there some of the same days and .. I don't want to say surprised but taken a little back by the crowds. Looks like you made up for it though with all that wonderful food!

Ahhh, you skipped AK! I had kept my eye out for your hat as I knew you would be there the same day! (I would have been too shy to say anything anyways! lol)

Thank you again for sharing your trip! I look forward to your future TR's!

Don't feel alone...my wife shakes her head at me all the time!!

It was a very interesting cruise. We are going on another one in August and DW was thinking about requesting a table by ourselves but I told her we wouldn't have any great stories to tell that way and just imagine what stories the table-mate will have to tell about us!

That's kinda our thing now...the food!!! You can get over a lot of things with a full belly!

Ahhh, you skipped AK! I had kept my eye out for your hat as I knew you would be there the same day! (I would have been too shy to say anything anyways! lol)

I would be very upset if I found out you saw us and didn't say hi! Now if you're going back in December or April of next year, let me know!

Thank you again for sharing your trip! I look forward to your future TR's!

Thanks so much for the kind words. The next one will be started in September for our cruise in August to Alaska! I look forward to seeing you sub in!

Noted, if our Disney adventures should ever cross paths I'll say hi! Would love to hear your wife's perspective on some of your trips! lol

Although its looking more and more like we won't be back till November 2017 But I will be able to live vicariously through your trips! Woot! Looking forward to hearing all about your crusises!

Great report! I felt your pain with MK. We were there about a week before Christmas, and while we expected it to be busy, we just felt like we walked in circles all day. I think we hit the PeopleMover 3 times. Next trip I will have a better game plan for MK.

LOL....since we've been married nearly 33 years, DW just rolls with the flow. She knows there's no hope for me! However, I do get a rolling of the eyes quite often!! I don't understand

Hmmmm...we're thinking about April 2017 and then sometime during F&W in the fall....not that I'm an uber planner or anything like that.

Thanks for the kind words about the TR. It's getting to where there are no more crowd level 3 or 4 out of 10 anymore at WDW. There were 51,500,000 people that visited WDW in 2014 to once again lead the nation in park attendance. Sighhhhh
