This afternoon we also received a snack update from MRYPPNS.







She said, "Minnie Mouse apple from DHS - $9.95. Not the easiest thing to eat...More cute than tasty for us."

Our last update for tonight was sent to us by Mommyof3inVA.


She said, "Lunch at Columbia Harbour House (our favorite place!)"




















"My husband had the anchor's aweigh tuna sandwich with chips and I had the garden salad with chicken which was delicious. We had the apple crisp for dessert--it was my favorite dessert all week! Such a great place to eat, affordable and yummy! They even gave my kids free mickey straws because they were cranky."




Plaza Ice Cream Parlor





"Kids each had the Mickey ice cream sundae from Main Street (not sure of the ice cream shop name)."






"On the way out of the park we stopped by the Liberty Market to pick up some healthy snacks for the kids."

So glad to see pics from The Fountain. Since we are staying at the Swan in November, no doubt we will be popping in there for ice cream.

I am gutted to see that the cheesecake brownie at the Boardwalk Bakery looks different - I hope it still tastes the same...it's one of my favourite treats

Yay for the new thread! I was a November reporter and even though I haven't posted much in here since my trip, I've been faithfully following along. Sadly, no trips for me until next year.... Then we'll be at Aulani!

Barb, you are amazing for keeping this thread going! Thank you!!!

Hi Everyone! so excited that I will be sending in my live updates starting 5/4!

Barb, I rec'd you PM to the May team, and sent you one in return. Just want to make sure you got it, because for some reason my Sent Messages had a count of zero.

Hi Nanabug! Good to hear from you again.

And you are being modest when you say that you were just a November reporter. You did an awesome job of live reporting, so awesome in fact, you were our November game winner!! So thanks again for contributing to the old thread in a big way.

No Disney World trips in your near future, but how about Disneyland?

We have received our First Update of the Day and it was from Rarity.


She said, "Here's an update from our dinner last night at...





Some buffet pics...




























"We had the first seating so everything was hot and fresh. While I was going around getting pictures of the buffet, a CM told me to make sure I got the Hidden Mickey."







"For my first plate, I had a rib, fried chicken, mashed red-skin potatoes, mac and cheese, green beans (had to have something green ), and corn bread. The rib was fall-off-the-bone tender. I'm a corn bread fanatic, and I loved it here."








"For dessert, I had some of the bread pudding (not sure what kind exactly, but it had chocolate chips in it!) and a pecan tart with some ice cream. The bread pudding was awesome!"











"I've got some pics of the newly re-opened Boardwalk Bakery, too, but we're about to head out for Epcot and eating around the world. Will check in later!"

I'm glad to see the newly re-opened Boardwalk Bakery! It was so small and cramped before. With so many choices, it will still be hard to decide what to get!

Barb: Once again, all of your hard work and efforts are appreciated by so many people, me included! Thank you for all you do to keep us Disney Dining addicts happy!

We have received a couple of updates from Hannikins today, who is now reporting live from Universal Studios.


This first snack update was from IOA's...


Wizarding World of Harry Potter













Hannah said, "We had early entry to Harry potter this morning so with the rides out of the way we made our way over to the butterbeer cart."






"We grabbed one of each...





"It tasted of butterscotch and licorice. I preferred the frozen version since I didn't think it tasted as nice with fizz."
