At long last, Nicki & Todd are going back to WDW, LIVE!

Nicki, I'm so glad you got home safely, and that you had such a wonderful trip! It's always sad when they come to an end though...being the fact that we only go every 2 years, I completely understand that!

I laughed so hard at your comment about the diving birds when you had the pretzel at AK!! :lmao: About 4 years BC (Before Children! :rotfl2:), DH and I were in Atlantic City. It was a beautiful day, the end of June. I was craving a funnel cake, and DH bought one for me. We were walking along the boardwalk and a seagull decided he wanted some of my funnel cake. It scared the daylights out of me! We still laugh about that! :lmao:

I'm glad also that you don't think I am too crazy for thinking about plans for our 2012 trip already! For our summer vacation this coming year, we're going on a 9-night cruise, so everything is pretty much taken care of. I have been doing a little research about the ship and the ports, but it doesn't even compare to the amount of research I do for Disney trips (dining ADRs, touring plans for the parks, reading menus over and over again, etc.!). Shortly after we get back from the cruise I can book our 2012 WDW trip and that will feel great! That means that before we go on our cruise, we should at least know the exact dates in July 2012 we are going to Disney. And that just makes it feel so much more real! :) Oh by the way, we also love SAI for lunch. We went there in July, we sat at a table right by where the boat ride passes by, the food was great (I had the chicken tostada app as my lunch), service was great and oh man, those margaritas! We went on the boat ride right after that and needless to say, after those margaritas, it was lots of fun! ;)
 
Loved all the reviews. I have a question? When something is not to your liking do you send it back? Ask for your $$$ back?? Do you use the dining plan? TIW card??
I vote for the first week in Oct-pretty please. I will take you to the carmel shop for a treat :)

Mary, you sure know the way to Nicki's heart. ;)
 
I will do my best my very good friend! I would love to hook up with you and Tom this winter...maybe I can fly to Chicago, kidnap Kathy and just the two of us would show up in Disney :rotfl2::lmao::rotfl:




Maybe I will have to go in January and February!

Oh, that would be so awesome. :banana: Don't know what I would do to contain myself. Regardless of when you are able to return, and may it be soon, thank you so much for sharing your trip with us all, in real time! It was so much fun to be in on it from the beginning.

And hopefully 2011 will be a banner year for EVERYONE! :goodvibes
 
Hi Nicki,
Thanks for the best reviews ever!! It was so much fun reading them. I actually felt like I was there with you. Todd really does eat a lot of food!! I would hate to have you food bill. I'm looking forward to reading your next reviews!! Have a great Thanksgiving and wonderful Christmas!
Joan
 


Thank you so much for allowing this newbie to come along! It's really getting me psyched to go! You give such wonderful descriptions of everything! Happy Thanksgiving and at least it's a short work week!
 
Just wanted to post one more time to say thank you for sharing your trip (and your food porn!) with all of us. I never underestimate the time and effort that takes and we all benefit from your knowledge, reviews, and humor!! Thank you so much!!!

(BTW, I lived in Saugus for 11 years! We are further north now. Yes, Woodman's rocks! My #1 hangout of choice though? The Clam Box!:thumbsup2)
 
Thanks so much for your great reviews and pictures. :goodvibes

thanks for the great reviews! glad you guys had a great time :goodvibes

Thanks guys!

subbing! better late than never!

:thumbsup2

Just got home from a lousy day at work and finished your report! Sad that it is over. Glad that you got to see Flights of Wonder and the Lion King! Can't believe you hadn't seen them in all your trips! I love, love the Lion King. Nemo for us was a one and done, if we are walking by and can sneak in, ok but we wouldn't wait in line for it again.

I am sorry you had a bad day at work...I am having one of those right now. We have never done Fantasmic either :lmao:

Anxiously awaiting news on your next trip! Ours is still 276 days away! If you get to go in February, that'll be about the time we can make our ADRs!

Time will fly by!

Thank you Nicki for another informative and fun LIVE report! :flower3: I so enjoy reading them! I can barely find time during the week to write a few notes in my journal when we are at Disney, so I truly appreciate you taking the time out of your vacation each day to write such wonderful reports. :hug: We are making our ADR's on Sunday and you were a BIG help! I am glad that you and hubby had a wonderful anniversary trip and look forward to reading your next one!
Thanks again - And have a wonderful Turkey Day!
Kristen :goodvibes

Hey Kristen! LOL, if I dont report back right away I forget everything that we did and said! I had a hard time with our AK day since it was 48 hours later :laughing: Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well :goodvibes

I just read this entire thread in one sitting. Now I am so sad to see it has come to an end. It was like ending a great book that you want to go on and on.... You had me laughing numerous times! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this! :thumbsup2

So glad that you enjoyed it!

Loved all the reviews. I have a question? When something is not to your liking do you send it back? Ask for your $$$ back?? Do you use the dining plan? TIW card??
I vote for the first week in Oct-pretty please. I will take you to the carmel shop for a treat :)

Good morning Mary! We used the TIW card...if something I ordered isnt to my personal liking I just suck it up and if the food is bad bad bad we will send it back.

Ooh a caramel bribe...I might have to take you up on that one! Todd is thinking early Oct is better for him but I still have to play the wait and see game :confused:

Nicki, I'm so glad you got home safely, and that you had such a wonderful trip! It's always sad when they come to an end though...being the fact that we only go every 2 years, I completely understand that!

A 2 year stretch must be a real killer!

I laughed so hard at your comment about the diving birds when you had the pretzel at AK!! :lmao: About 4 years BC (Before Children! :rotfl2:), DH and I were in Atlantic City. It was a beautiful day, the end of June. I was craving a funnel cake, and DH bought one for me. We were walking along the boardwalk and a seagull decided he wanted some of my funnel cake. It scared the daylights out of me! We still laugh about that! :lmao:

LOL, that happened to me at the BWI! I was eating my blueberry muffin when I was bird bombed and he took it right out of my hand!

I'm glad also that you don't think I am too crazy for thinking about plans for our 2012 trip already! For our summer vacation this coming year, we're going on a 9-night cruise, so everything is pretty much taken care of.

A cruise sounds wonderful but I cannot get Todd to agree to it...:confused3

Mary, you sure know the way to Nicki's heart. ;)

I think you told her how to do it :rotfl:

Oh, that would be so awesome. :banana: Don't know what I would do to contain myself. Regardless of when you are able to return, and may it be soon, thank you so much for sharing your trip with us all, in real time! It was so much fun to be in on it from the beginning.

Morning Joan! The funny thing is Todd eats like a normal human at home....when he gets to WDW he is constantly hungry....he "claims" I am walking him to death and he is just burning it off!

Thank you so much for allowing this newbie to come along! It's really getting me psyched to go! You give such wonderful descriptions of everything! Happy Thanksgiving and at least it's a short work week!

Why thank you so much! I hope you have an amazing trip!

Thank you for reading it! Having you guys love it so much makes it all worth it :thumbsup2

Wow that is wild!!! Russo's, The Ship, Soc's Ice Cream, Bucky's Pizza, Kowloons, Hilltop...oh man I could go on and on!
 


Nicki - I just read on another dining review that Via Napoli would not honor the TIW discount for alcohol. Did you encounter that too?
 
So, sad your food porn is over!! Thanks so much for all the reviews and live. It was fun living through your trip. I know, it takes a lot of time and effort.

Oh, and you must convinced the the king of food aka Todd that he must go on a cruise. it is food 24/7..... LOL....
 
I did not. ;)

Mmmm hmmmm :cutie:

Not true, Todd had Prosecco and they took the 20% off of that

I am sad too! You know, that was my cruise angle but there is something about the Titanic movie that scarred him for life :rotfl::lmao::rotfl2:
 
Another great trip report from the masters of Disney World.Glad you guys had a wonderful trip.Monday is the big day for our dining reservations,lets hope they go well,lol.Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy spoiling your new niece this Christmas.
 
This week just wasn't the same without your live reviews! Your reports are always wonderful and something I love to follow along. I feel the same way as Todd does about cruises but its flying for me. Yes, I won't step foot in an airplane. Its 18 hours for us to drive to Disney. We're leaving Wednesday bright and early - that is my oldest sons 22 and 21. I'm thinking they'll stick me in the back seat and bring along a roll of duct tape so they can't listen to me back seat drive. :rotfl2: My husband and youngest son are flying down Thursday. :rotfl2: Yes, we are crazy people. The boys and I are staying for 9 days (oldest son is attending baseball winter meetings hoping to land a job) and husband and son will have to fly home on Tuesday due to school). It should be an interesting week. How many dining reservations we will change remains to be seen!!!!!!!!! Its our first "family" trip back to world in 9 years. :cool1: Again, thanks for all the reviews and enjoy your Thanksgiving!!!!!!!
 
Thanks for the wonderful, amazing and entertaining Food reviews.:worship::surfweb::laughing::thumbsup2
That drink at AK looks really good and I have to try in a couple of days...:cool1::banana:
 
A cruise sounds wonderful but I cannot get Todd to agree to it...

Cruises are great! What is holding Todd back from going on one, if you don't mind me asking? I have been on 13 of them, and I can tell you any details that may put his mind at ease, depending on his reasoning. One thing's for sure...you could walk away from even a short cruise with TONS of food porn! :rotfl:

Have a Happy Thanksgiving! And thanks again for sharing all of your dining experiences with us! :)
 
Thanks so much for your awesome report. Don't you just hate it how a week at work can crawl by, but a week at Disney is over in a blink? :sad2: We already have our ressies in place for our trip in February, but you have given me some ideas of new places to try...guess we'll just have to book another trip!!! :wizard:
 
Wow that is wild!!! Russo's, The Ship, Soc's Ice Cream, Bucky's Pizza, Kowloons, Hilltop...oh man I could go on and on!

You forgot Prince ;) My son works there!! And we're going to a party tomorrow night at Kowloon. :rotfl:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and Todd and all your great readers!!!
