First is the Safari GG Pin

Followed your trip report link from the fridge swap thread!
Really good report! Sounds like your kiddos love the pool as much as mine Though, we spend so much time at the parks we have to really try to squeeze in their coveted pool time
Omg...I can't believe that about the baby...I would have been hysterical

Looking forward to more...

Cool pins! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for your next update.

 

[Goofy22]

OMG! I truely can't believe I've neglected this that long! OK! Well I'm going to be making up for that real soon as I am getting together September 1st!!! This was a very adventurous and fun day for us!
W-A-R-N-I-N-G there will be a pretty good amount of pictures! As we have Teppan Edo and HDDMR!!!! I highly recoomend both of these places and even though HDDMR is just Chicken and ribs and corn bread and mashed potaoes wine, soda, beer it is sooo worth the 2 credits! I'm going to really try to get this done as my Nov / Dec trip is approaching quickly and I want to be done before I leave! We are going from 11/30-12/4 and staying at AKV- Kindani Village in a 1 bedroom Villa on rented points thanks to SPACEMONKEY!!!

The cake looks amazing! I could eat a slice of that right about now, or maybe the whole thing!


Mmmmm coffee cake from Sunshine Seasons.....Ahhhh!

That cake was soooo worth it! She was so surprised and loved the Jack Skellington she wanted to bring the top home but couldn't because we flew it was all edible!

Thanks for coming over! Sorry I've been neglecting between winter cleaning and Cheer season which I don't coach anymore but I am the president of the booster organization which runs the concession stand and getting ready for this next trip and the FLU recently hit us! But I'm back and this update should take a lil bit!
Looking forward to more...

Cool pins! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for your next update.

Your going to love this one it's going to take a few posts to finish it but hopefully i'll get it all in tonight!

 

[Goofy22]

HI! Everyone I hope you are all still with as this should be one nice Big Post and should make up for the time I have been MIA!!
Ok so September 1st today wasn't looking to promising the skies were dark and cloudy so we took our time getting out!
We headed on over to Epcot due to ADR changes as we cancelled Tutto Italia on the 30th and made lunch ressies for Teppan Edo this day! So we decided we would goto epcot for the day !
We tried out Mission space I believe it was the Green side less intense of course! LOL Not the intense side so if I got the color wrong I'm sorry but we were chickens except DD but no one wanted to go Orange with her! LOL!

Then we did spaceship earth! Can you believe in all the times I've been to Disney I had never done this ride because I thought it was something different! LOL
Then of course we did DS's most favorite ride Test Track! I really think we rode this like 10 times this visit no joke!
Then on we went to the Character Meet N Greet and waited in line for a bit but it was relly worth it the characters were great! By the time we were done it was time to head to our 1:20pm ADR at Teppan Edo.
But of course Miyuki was out side making some candy so we had to check her out!

Then we headed upstairs to one of Disney's best hidden secrets Teppan Edo!

We literally waited maybe 10 minutes and we were seated! BTW on this next trip I have 1 ressie as we are not on the dining plan and are going to take full advantage of our Villa can you guess where that ressie is for????????????????

OK so I have never been here before so this was an all new experience and an awesome one I have to Thank Tammy and Sidney for talking it up so much we just had to go!

So when we are seated the table sits I believe 8 so we only had 5 so there was another family of three at the other end of our table.

Here is our waitress

Then next would be our chef

These ladies were so nice! and they make it so fun for kids you will see in some of these pictures the things then did.

Waiting impatiently for their food

The kids meal came out first as this was not cooked in front of us it was made in the back but they did tell us this when we ordered it!
Check out the dish! I wanted to but one and you can they sell them downstairs in the shop underneath all the way in the back in the china section.
Well we went down to see and they were are you ready?????? $49.95
I said ok they are not that cute disney can keep them! lol!

The sauces for the Shrimp , steak and chicken they were really good! The white sauce was for the shrimp I don't know what it is but I was a lil catious about trying it as it was white and going on shrimp and I'm use to red cocktail sauce on shrimp! But against my judgement I tried it and loved it!!!!! I couldn't believe it!

The chef having some fun and also cooking

The chef rolls a cart out that has the meat that you ordered on it and everything else she or he uses and she / he double checks your order then on the grill it goes!

The onion volcano and Mickey made from onions not sure if you can see the Mickey!

continued to next post! ...................................................................

 

[Goofy22]

She also made the chicken dance it was so funny but I don't know where that picture is right now not like you would see the effect anyways!

OK so Baby DGN shared with DD as she doesn't eat much and they loved it they had the chicken.

Dh and myself got the steak but as you can see in this following picture DS no longer has a kids meal in front of him he has steak! No he did not eat both that would be a miracle in itself! I wound up eating his Chicken tempura and he ate most of my steak I think I got 3 pcs! thats what mom's are for right? because you know DH wasn't giving up his steak!

I was the only one who had dessert and boy oh boy was it good!
C H O C O L A T E G I N G E R C A K E ! Once again I wasn't to sure because I never really had ginger in a cake product before that I know of and it was amazing!

And that does it for Teppan Edo! Well I already said it once I highly reccomend this place the food was amazing and the waitress and Chef were soooo Friendly! The Chef was not posing for the pics she actually always had a smile on her face!!!!!

 

[Goofy22]

So we left Teppan Edo and of course went downstairs to check out those monrail dishes and needless to say we did not purchase one! If my son was a
little younger maybe!
So we finished walking around world showcase and we ran into Belle and Beauty n the Beast!
The kids got their pics we got lucky we were the last for the line! But some guy came after and gave them some story and they let his daughter in! We also got a pic with snowwhite before dinner.
I can't add the pics right now as photo bucket isn't cooperating!
I'm going to try in a lil bit! But at least I got this far! But I need photo bucket for the rest as I have lots more pics!!!

 

[teedee]

Another great review! I especially liked the pics from Teppan Edo. I changed one of our ADR's to there after reading the good reviews on the Dis. It's one that I'm really looking forward to.

Until I heard how much they cost I was thinking of getting my grand son one of the monorail dishes. For $50 I'm sure I can find something he'll like a lot better!

Thanks ! TEEDEE, You definitely won't be disappointed! I know those dishes I almost had heart failure when I seen the price!

 

[Goofy22]

Ok so here are a few pics from the charcter spot! I can't get those others to load right now!

So we spent a lil bit of time around world show case then headed back to the buses as it was looking pretty gloomy! Well while on the bus back to POP the skies opened up and when I say it poured I mean it POURED!!!! We ran from the bus to the part where they have the benches that is slightly covered to get out of the rain then we hung out in the foodcourt and arcade for a bit in hopes the rain would slow down! Needless to say it didn't so we ventured to the room as we needed to get ready for HDDMR! When I tell you POP's pool was overflowing it was overflowing! Enjoy these lovely pics!

This was outside our room!

Crazy rain! And it rained the rest of the night ! So we decided we needed to really give ourselves some time to travel for HDDMR so we left like 2 hrs ahead to make sure we got there! We arrived about 40 min ahead but it was ok we waited on the porch to crocketts tavern ...... Next post will be HDDMR but unfortunatley I don't think I'm going to get it in tonight as there is just way to much to cover! I will try my hardest to get back here tommorrow I don't want to say I will as when I do it seems i don't! Thanks everyone for hanging in here with me I'm almost done I only have a few days left!

 

[ZeroToHero]

And that is what we flew home through.... RAIN.

Teppan Edo does look great - I think that needs to go on the list for next time!!!!

And isn't the candy lady awesome?!?

I can't wait for HDDMR and the rest of the pictures!

Thanks for the updates!

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

And as that rain was coming down I was heading in to the Magic Kingdom for the night to see SpectroMagic.

 

[wdwgirl03]

Looks like you guys had a fun dinner!

That is some crazy rain! I'm so glad we only had one brief downpour on our trip.

Welcome to my TR! I hope your enjoying it.
Oh wow! That stinks! We got drenched running from the foodcourt to our room so then I ran back out and took pics! What section were you in at POP? I can't believe we never ran into you!

Looks like you guys had a fun dinner!
That dinner was awesome! We go back on the secon as a matter of fact I just left a message for the cake corrdinator at Epcot to see if I can special order a cake for DS his birthday isn't til february but it seems like we always celebrate DD's in Disney since were normally there a few days before her Bday so it's going to be for my DS and MIL her bday is right before we go! I want to see if I can get a cake with a monorail if not we'll settle for Mickey .
That is some crazy rain! I'm so glad we only had one brief downpour on our trip.

That rain was definitely crazy stuff! Well I'm getting ready to do HDDMR if photobucket cooperates and I have videos of that to it's so funny we may actually do it again in august a friend of mine is going the same time and wants to do it wwith their kids so I agreed to go again! LOL

 

[Goofy22]

OK so September 1st continued
So it was still pretty much pouring I called over to Fort Wilderness to make sure the show was still on of course it was it's inside! LOL! So we got into some dry clothes and we took extra clothes just in case we needed then and we donned our rainjackets and umbrellas! We took the bus to MK then the boat to epcot which they were still runiing because it was not lightning! It was actually a pretty neat ride in the rain! We got over to HDDMR a lil early so we sat on the deck of Crocketts Tavern and while we were there DH and myself had a drink to pass sometime
Here's what I had and it was delicious!
Pina Coloda

DH had Rum & Coke

Just FYI so you all know if you do this show it doesn't matter where you are in line as your seats are preselected so they are assigned before you arrive! We had awesome seats we were on the right side of the stage front !
Here are some pics I will try to put them in some kind of order! I have to find the videos then I will post those!

The Piano Guy was directly behind us!!

BEFORE THE FOOD

The FOOD
SALAD

CORNBREAD

POTATOES

[Goofy22]

SERIOUS BUSINESS

These are before dessert the waiters and waitresses come out dancing with trays with strawberry shortcake dessert on them it's pretty cool!

And here's the Strawberry Shortcake you split these we had 5 ppl and got 2 of them

Some of these were ppl from the audience like the angel and the lil boy and a few more

So this was the 9:30pm show we went to because on the dining plan if you book the 9:30 or maybe it was 9pm whichever if available when you book you can upgrade to tier 1 seating like I said I highly recommend this show the chicken was really good as was the cornbread and potatoes the ribs too everything! Definitely worth the 2 TS credits! they had buses lined up at the entrance of the campground to take everyone back to there resorts there was like 5 buses and they were shared depending on what resort you were at we were at POP and our bus wen to POP, CBR, Boardwalk, Swan/Dolphin
We arrived back at pop apprx 12:03 am ! We chose this show as the parks close early this time of the season so it was well worth a late night!
Next up September 2nd and a visit to Celebration Hospital ER......................

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

I was in the 50's section of pop on the far end of the building behind Lady from Lady and the tramp. Who knows we may have seen each other and not have know it. The rain wasn't that bad in the MK especially after I bought a poncho, and most of the attractions were a walk on.

 

[wdwgirl03]

The HDDR looks like a lot of fun! Some day we'll have to go to that since we've never done it before.

 

[jenseib]

We love HDD too.
At Teppon Edo, do they give you forks? I couldn't use chop sticks to save my life. it is on my list to try next time we go though. It looks good.
