Biff's Enchanted Birthday Trip...Twas' the week before Christmas

[scottny]

I don't know why, but I'm always worried those darn boats are going to sink on our way across to the other side. Its so irrational. Yet I got on the disney wonder in july with no questions asked? haha. We went to the christmas procession in 07! Can't wait to hear about it from you!

how deep can it be?

is this the christmas gnome in norway? i can't tell how tall he is. i wanted to see him!

yes it was. I cannot remember.

I love the Santa look alikes outfit!!! he was to cute

Whew!! It only took me two days to finish reading your TR, so far. I love that you and Biff did so much walking. Were you guys spent by the end of the day? Now that I'm caught up, I can't wait to read more.

glad your caught up. it was a lot of walking but we had a great time doing it.
he was, he fell asleep almost every night within a half hour

loving the spready duck scott

he was pretty short, and very funny, i think i have a video of them doing there little skit it was pretty funny, and so was the norweigen girl doing the story it was onour last day so it will be a little bit before i get to it.

never saw the girl

I've never taken the boats across the lagoon in Epcot, there are so many cute details along the shore!

the boat is nice way to get over there after a long day of walking.

We get to the Candlelight Procession 15 minutes before it starts and get a seat. It was great just being able to walk right in, the stand by line was really long.

Here are some pics from the show.

The tree

Here they come

Soon the others came in

Chita Raveira (sp?) was the narrator. That is her head there. :rotf:

I loved the different colors of the stage.

He was next to us. It was loud.

Chita

Us.

I thought I took a pic of the guy who was doing the signing this was fascinating to watch.

Then the show was over. I thought it was good and well done although a little long, some of the younger kids were starting to get finicky.

Biff hated it. He said it was too religious and I was a liar. Oh well can’t please them all.

I will stop here.

Next up…

He made me cancel Narcoose’s

 

[lmillercrew]

Tell Biff that you weren't a liar, you just ommitted (sp) some of the truth! I bet the horns were pretty, sorry they were so loud though.

Next up…

He made me cancel Narcoose’s

what are we gonna do with him?

 

[Wieuca]

What a great trip you had, I have enjoyed reading it all. You are a fabulous match with Biff. Thanks for taking the time to share Biff's birthday. I am planning mine for April 23rd and you have made me even more excited to go.

 

[Diamondintheruff]

I love the photo you took inside the epcot boat where you can see the reflection of the buildings on the other side of the water too.

I'm betting Biff was sick and that's why you agreed to cancel.

I only told him on the advice I got on the boards.
the horns were really good.

what are we gonna do with him?

who knows

yuor about to find out.

 

[scottny]

So we headed out of Epcot and we ran into this.

Note - This is a really big blond moment for me. For some reason I thought if I turned the camera sideways like I do with taking a photo I can then adjust it in photobucket. I have no idea what I was thinking

Video over on Enchanted

So we get back to the room and I tell him we will probably have to take a cab later because we had a late reservation. He did not like this. I told him I would pay but still he did not like it.

I called and cancelled. All because of a cab ride.

I get on the phone with dining and I then book Cap'n Jacks. 5 minutes later he asks if he can see the menu on my phone, he decides then he does not care for it.

So I made a reservation. Guess where we ended up?

Pool

Waiting at bus stop. Not very flattering.

We did end up here.

The restaurant that won was...

Menu -
Me:
app: shared scallop forest (on the plan you have to share this)
ent: fish and chips
des: triple pleasure
drink: I believe I had the Dubliner. whatever it was it was good.

Biff:
app: shared scallop forest
ent: It's not bleedin chowder
des: fruit

**Review**
Me - I liked it. The scallops were good though I think sharing it on the plan is stupid.
The fish and chips were really good.
The triple pleasure was 3 different chocolate desserts. they were all so good

Biff -Loud pub
3 piece Band including singing & talking
a Lady doing Irish Dancing on a table - not a place for an enjoyable meal more like a place to drink

shared scallop forest - appitizer was for 2, 3 scallops each was good but left you wanting more presentation was a block with 6 forks each with a scallop.

ent: it's not bleeadin chowder what a disappointment. Potatoes not completely cooked. Light on Clams. Clam broth & cream was tasty.

I neglected to tell him of the live music. I knew he hates it but at this point he annoyed me.

I would go back but problably for lunch.

The inside
Lobby

Gift shop

Restaurant

We left and headed back to the hotel.

Love the soda machines.

That ends Biff's birthday. Not a bad day but I wish some things went differently.

up next...

Biff feels worse and we have an "Enchanted" encounter.

 

[b.head2008]

i dislike fish but it looked like a fun place to eat, haha i love how it was Biff's Birthday dinner, and you took him to a place that he would dislike cause the live music

 

[KatGarcia]

wow you call yourself NYers and won't take a cab! Biff missed out, Narcoossee's is one of the best meals I ever had!

 

[LISAMWDW]

Haha! Good point!

 

[troobabiee7]

Wow Scott, those are some of the best CP pics I've seen! You had such great seats and usually the pictures are from people who sit all the way up in the rafter so you can't really see what's going on :lauging: I'm not into how religious the CP is either so I don't think I'd see it myself, so thanks for all the pics!

Sorry Biff didn't like Raglan Road, at least it was an experience!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

next time i bet you dont tell him about the cab ride home and keep the reservation.

 

[MeMom]

Good Candlelight Processional pictures! You got very good close-ups.

You've got a partial picture of that reddish-haired lady that does the drums and about fifty other things. She was fascinating to me, moving around from this instrument to another, constantly moving and never missing a beat. Did you pay any attention to her? She gets a real workout doing that show!

it was a nice place i thought.
I can be evil when I want to be. You should se eit aorund here the last few days since I found out he lied about the DVC. It has not been pleasant.

I wanted to, cheapo would not.

I do have other pics of her. I have about 50 more pics I did not post. she was really good.

Biff was really feeling it today. So we took it easy only to be told later he felt like we did nothing.

I woke up and Biff went up to get a coffee and sit in the sun and read. I took a shower. When I got out he was back.

I was like “that was quick”. I was told the benches were all wet so he could not sit down.

We leave around 9:45

My obligatory pics.

So were heading here

The Contemporary

Biff did not want Pepper Market so I figured we would try the new cs here. The tip was the issue. Did I mention he is cheap? :rotf:

Here we go

All aboard

This is self-serving. First you order at the machine

Then you go and pay

Then you go back and wait for the buzzer to go off.

This is a station set up so you can buy other stuff.

Now they do have a espresso/cappuccino machine right in the area. Then you walk over the side toward the tables and they have the condiment station. Then along the other wall are the beverages.

We both had the bounty platter. It was good. I got a juice and coffee. The coffee when being poured was like tea. It was weird. I switched to the other machine, much better.

It was an ok meal. I don’t think the place is anything special.

We left and started to walk around.

That was a really nice display.

Check in for California Grill

One day I will eat here

I took random shots as Biff went potty.

All done, here he comes.

He wanted to be Mickey

I will stop here.

Up next

Boat ride

I'm all caught up now. I was supposed to see the 8 something PM Candlelight Processional but missed it! I meant to go back when that little American Girl actress did it a couple of days later but OMG it was slammed packed then. All I did was walk by it. Looked gorgeous. Too bad we didn't see one another in the park this day. You took a ton of great pics. I'm glad you posted the Contemprary Holiday stuff. I've never seen it in person or in pics! It looks good. I have to swing by that one next year. I started the PTR finally. Check it out if you have time.

 

[pooksma]

I was a couple of days behind but all caught up now.

I love your Processional pics. Someday I will see it (I hope). Biff is right in that RR is not the place to go to have a cozy, quiet sit down meal. I really enjoyed it and the food but it is a party place.

Thanks for the photos of the new CS at the Contemporary. Looks interesting...

 

[PrincessAlways]

All caught up again! Sorry Biff didn't enjoy CP. I think it's a beautiful & special event. I also love to watch the signer. It is amazing! It sounds like Biff didn't really enjoy his Disney vacation.
