That's good news! Nathan loves the PoC movies, but I stopped watching them somewhere around halfway into #3. We decided we'd watch them all in order before our trip this summer as part of our movie-watching prep (which will also include Avatar since I haven't seen it since it came out, and a few Disney classics.)
yeah definitely better than #3, which I've only seen bits and pieces of. Doesn't measure up to the original but then nothing really will!
Your dinner at 50s looked so good!! I've still never been here, surprisingly enough. We always used to book Sci Fi instead, and now we just don't spend a ton of time in DHS and often get QS if we do, or I go to Brown Derby for the cobb salad. Maybe on another trip sometime soon...
It's really good. I'm sure they can make some GF stuff, although not sure how it will taste!
Your SW magic band is so great!
Thank you! It's my favorite purchase of the trip!
Some beautiful views of the BW - I'd like to stay here someday for the theming and the proximity to Epcot and DHS
Definitely, the location cannot be beat. It was awesome to be so walking distance to the two parks.
I think that's the same server we had last time we went to 50s Prime Time. I love the fresh sustainable fish of the day. The sauce and the sweet potato hash are really good. Looks like fun. BWI is really pretty. We have only been in the convention part.
Haha that's funny. He was nice, took his "role" seriously but didn't necessarily overwhelm us.
I was going to get the fish but I thought, when in Rome...get the comfort foods...
Woo Hoo - This is an awesome trip report! Also thanks for the preview of Pandora. I've not seen the movie, and couldn't have really cared less about Pandora world, but you've made a believer out of me, and I can't wait to experience it when we go next April! I want to be you when I grow up.... love the multiple trips you're taking this year.... keep the trip reports coming!
Thank you so much! Great to see you back on the boards! I've been meaning to comment on your Hawaii TR! I've caught up though and so far looks amazing, especially the drinks. Can't beat a good mai tai!
I am not a huge fan of Avatar, I neither like it nor dislike it, but visually you cannot deny that it is a stunning movie, and that translated into the land of Pandora. It's really cool to be able to see a brand new land at Disney!
Haha thank you! It's been very exciting so far! This is what happens when you are an adult kid and have no kids...we just play (way) too much.
That's great that you were able to meet up with J. Can you imagine living in Orlando?! I think I'd be in a park every weekend!
It's always nice to meet up with people at Disney. We actually know someone else who moved to Orlando but they have APs to..Universal so we didn't get to meet them in Disney. Haha.
I know...it sounds so dangerous for me. I'd never go to work!
I haven't eaten at 50's Prime Time in about 12 years. HS is a one day park for us. My husband loves Mama Melrose and when we've been with the grandkids, they enjoy Hollywood & Vine for the characters or Sci-Fi Drive In. Hence, 50's Prime Time gets vetoed. We need to get back there as your meals look fantastic!
It's definitely a tasty meal! I've never been to Mama Melrose. It sounds like a lot of the Italian places here in NY so just never really been a must-do for us. It does sound like it would be good though!
Your new Magic Band is super cute!
Thank you! It's my favorite purchase of the trip!
Glad you found the quiet pool. Sometimes you just need a little peace and quiet.
YES exactly!
In our 4 stays at the BW we've never found that area you did or the little cottages! I don't even know if we've ever walked by the quiet pool?? I knew it was there but I think we only even used the clown pool on two of our visits.
It was towards the Inn side, not the Villas. We just walked out that way and found the cottages and quiet pool. Not even sure if they are like regular rooms inside or suites. But they have fantastic gardens!
QUOTE="ariane37, post: 57700146, member: 445750"]Funny I never saw the 3rd installment of PoTC until last week and it was weird. And bad. Steve hadn't seen it either and he didn't see the last one which I assured him wasn't quite as strange as 3, so I'm going to watch that with him soon and we need to go see the new one because the preview was great![/QUOTE]
Yes #3 was bad, I didn't even see the entire movie. But this one is quite redeeming of the series although nothing will beat the first one.
Love your Star Wars dress! I am super excited to meet BB8 on our next trip to DHS. When you went for the dessert party, was there enough time to meet characters too? It looks like we should be able to get in ahead of the 8:15 listed time.
Thank you! Yes when during the dessert party you will be able to meet characters and roam around Launch Bay. If there is a wait that will just take up your dessert party time, but I think after 30 mins of eating sweets you probably won't want to eat any more.
I honestly don't think I've ever been to the 50s Prime Time Cafe. I have heard that they can make the meatloaf GF though, so it is definitely on my list to try out soon!
Cool! I'm not sure how gluten free meatloaf will taste like but everything we did eat was really yummy! Lot's of comfort food!
Ok, I got really far behind so I'm not quoting, because it would be about 90 pages of quotes or something - so much of these last few updates were awesome!!
'
Thank you!! Still have to catch up on yours too. I'm soooo out of it!
I cannot WAIT to see Pandora in October. OMG. Still super sad I had to give up my AP preview for the trip to Michigan
Well, you got yourself a lovely dorm room with no a/c...
Pandora was awesome. I can see how it will be Disney World's biggest draw ever at least until SW land opens!
I ended up at MK on May 4, even though I had intended to pop by DHS for those pins!!
Loved all the pictures!!
Thank you!
Oooh, this looks so pretty! I'm taking note for my ADR here in August
It was quite refreshing
This has been my plan all along, but I definitely see the benefits of ordering the sampler, too! I'll make the call in the moment I guess
It's hard to decide but the sampler makes the decision for me. I'm too indecisive sometimes!
Yes! Much easier to converse this way! Also, I'm happy to hear it wasn't too overwhelming of an experience. In the likelihood that I'll be solo in August, I was a little concerned that it'd be a bit much, even for someone who tends to make friends with the servers!
It depends on your server. I think if you're alone they may not be as "stern" with you. I've had a server that was more motherly than stern and then I've had ones who were just plain...mean!
This is just perfection.
It's the perfect MB. Hence I had to get a backup!
So excited to hear more about your May the 4th. Sure beat mine at work, no doubt
It made up for all the other May the 4ths where I've been at work. Why is it not a national holiday!?!?
So glad you were able to meet up with your friend. We haven't been to 50's Prime Time in a few years but the food is good.
Great pictures of everyone.
I love your Princess Leia MB!
The quiet pools are so much more enjoyable.
I told DD you and DH were going on the Marvel at Sea cruise she is so jealous.
Thank you!! It was a great day so far.
The Marvel Day at Sea cruise was a surprise for us as they announced it after we booked, but we are super excited!
