What a fun evening you all had! I love CS' dress that is so creative and the design work is beautiful. The characters must've had so much fun with her finding themselves or recognizing familiar faces on there.
That's annoying with the whole laundry room situation, but what a way to get yourselves inside the DVC villa area. So so pretty. Personally need to sneak my way into those places more often (the Grand Flo one is a priority).
Those scallops look delicious and it seems I need to try some of those Greek Vegan tacos. My last (and only) Food & Wine experience I only hated the one thing I got at the Greek booth so if there's something else that others seem to enjoy I need to make note of it.
Yay for Beaches N Cream and a mini kitchen sink! I've done the full-sized one and honestly I probably would've gotten more my moneys worth off the Mickey sink instead. Like you said, working towards cute souvenirs by eating what's put inside them, YES PLEASE. What a fun way to end your night!
Ooooh, how pretty! Disney sure knows how to work a theme![]()
You got that right!![]()
Right! What a fabulous idea. I've always wanted to go here. I've tried a couple times for an ADR but never was able to get one. Someday!
I'm with you all the way!
Me too!![]()
Sounds like a really great night at Epcot! I'm glad you were able to go to B&C- yay for the mickey sundae!!
Yay! But...you're still using the one from the cruise, yes?
Um... not the absolute best looking Starlord I've seen. Just sayin'.
Girl is on a mission!
Good help is hard to find. Even at Disney, it seems.
Why did you not do this to start???
Nice! Sounds like a nice place to chill.
Minnesota Fats, watch out!
That sounds so heavy... I'd try it although I'm not usually a fan of stroganoff unless it's with ground beef... then I love it.

Oh, too bad. I remember when he started that. I had high hopes.
This should be interesting...
Good to hear. Just read another TR where the results weren't so great.
Really! Huh!
Stop. Erk. No.
Hmmm...
An hour is a long time, but... for that place? It's not bad at all. So hard to get an ADR there.
That's exactly what I want to try there. Hoping to in May.
Good enough. Looking forward to it, but not expecting fireworks to go off.
OMG! Gross!!!!![]()
One must do what one must do.
What time?
Yes of course, that one is strictly for popcorn and the rest are just decoration.
He looks more like a Mexican drug lord...of the galaxy.
When is she not?
But why?!? Disney is supposed to be a break from our regular lives!!!
I want to live in FANTASYLAND, not REALITY!!![]()
Cos we just didn't know! We are so new to being DVC owners we didn't know we could just go and use the machines (which are free). Hahaha. #newbies
At first I read...Minnesota Farts.![]()
#apparentlytherearepeopleweirderthanme
Lord help me, he's bought all the wood which is taken over our foyer...I don't know how this will go...
Oh right, no coconot for you!
Hope it fulfills all your realistic grilled cheese and tomato soup expectations.![]()
HAHAHA. I am full of the typos tonight.
Half past a quarter before 12.
Oh that's too bad you didn't have a good Food and Wine experience. I honestly prefer Flower and Garden. I like spring flavors and it is such a beautiful festival. I do LOVE all the Food and Wine events though!
Woah did you do the full sized one witha a group of people (I hope?) or alone? LOL I've always wanted the Mickey Sink and I wanted to get it in MK but even Steve and I alone could never finish it, I eat like 3 bite of ice cream and I'm done. plus all that whipped cream and stuff...not really my thing. But I must admit that our sundae was pretty good as far as sundaes go. I love the feeling when you get a souvenir mug or dish that you actually ate out of. You gotta work for your trinkets!!![]()
Those are pretty spectacular pants....and I know what you mean, I have been wanting to get those, too!!!! I want them for my bathroom sink, so I can display some of our cute Mickey toiletries that we will no longer receive staying at Pop! #goals
I love that your sister changes outfits depending on where she is going and she always looks adorable!
Looks like a fun evening . I am staying at BWI in sept and seriously considering a Beches and Cream meal. I will be solo so no Mickey pants for me . I am eyeing those new milkshakes !
That sundae looks so good!
Passholder playtime was so awesome!
The sangria from Mexico was one of my favorites too! I was pleasantly surprised by it!
Also, how convienent to be able to just head up to your room until Beaches and Cream had availability! Definitely a perk of staying there!
Oh cool! I don't think I ever noticed that bucket before.
Also very cool. I have never seen anything like this.
They look good though. But I can see how they would be on the heavy side.
This looks great. I completely understand about not getting souvenirs unless you work for them!
I must admit that I didn't even realize you could buy the dish itself. I may have been tempted to do that at B&C.
love the mickey sink! so stinkin cute!
I really liked that bucket! We used it at Halloween as a potion bucket and the kids liked all the lights!
Can't wait to stay there in 3 weeks!

Sounds like you all had a great evening in Epcot with all the F&W offerings. I'm still sad we missed it but can't wait for some Flower and Garden action!
Your coveted pants so had me waiting for something to happen with the laundry. I thought maybe Steves pants were all going to get shrunk or somethingGlad to hear it was Mickey pants though. I had no idea they had an option smaller than the kitchen sink. I'll have to remember that.
Looks like such a good time. All the food makes me excited for the festival of the arts....I don't think it's as much about the food? But still fun. Loving all CS's outfit changes as usual!!
juuuuuuust checking. I'm keeping track ya know.
um... how should I know????
Go past the castle, slight turn to the right. Set up homestead right there.
You're welcome.
omg... I almost wrote that.
Great minds stink alike.
Oh it actually was a very good experience. I wrote that kinda funky. I was on my CP for the duration of the entire Food and Wine. I fell in love with many dishes I tried, but the one disappointment I had was at the Greece booth. Hated it. It was way too salty. That was the one bad experience. I've also done Flower and Garden, but that was back in 2010 before they really expanded it so I've been meaning to go back, specifically for Frushi. I'm a Spring baby and love those months so I think I'd prefer the flavors too. Even though I think Festival of the Arts is really what I'd love. I'm a liberal arts school grad so I'm all over celebrating art and festivals dedicated to it.
It was with a group. No way could I do it by myself even with my ability to swallow bowl after bowl of ice cream whole. I was with two other guys and we barely made a dent. I ate the most and both of them dropped out way before I did. I was so determined. You really need like four or more though (and a very hungry four at that). I would so do it again just for the excitement of it all, the whole presentation is amazing and the CMs there are so fun.
Because...you read my TRs? Get with the program!
Hmm, good idea. I'm just going to claim Cinderella's castle as my own.
Let's celebrate by going to Chez Fartsmith for brunch!
I have a stinking feeling it's beginning to resemble that.
the cauldron popcorn bucket!!

As a matter of fact, since we are DVC owners anyways, wouldn't we be entitled to just use the free laundry machines? I said, well we pay our monthly dues anyways, so let's just use them!

Steve unfortunately had to dismantle the hydroponic garden at home since we weren't at home much to care for it in the past few months but he's gonna bring it back at some point.
Holy cow these were great!! So tasty, and yet light as well. I'm not vegan but it sure tasted delicious!! I should have started the night with this!
Go us! Hahaha. I know you can purchase the sink without having to eat the sundae but I like to work and put in the effort to obtain commemorative items like this. #IamWeird
How cool! I didn't even know this was a thing. Do you get emails about annual pass special events? We've never gotten a single one. Wondering if I'm missing out on some communications or something.DHS by 7:45am - for Passholder Playtime! It's basically an hour before park opening for AP holders to ride all the Toy Story rides, have a few character meets, and be able to buy some items from Woody's Lunchbox. We were mostly there to see how many times we could ride SDD! We signed up when it was first offered and we were lucky that our dates coincided with one of the Playtimes!
Oh I can so totally relate. We had a similar issue in August and had to walk from MGM to the Beach Club in the middle of the afternoon. It was absolutely brutal and I agree much longer than it needed to be.I have a little video I will share with you in this post of our journey to DHS, but basically, it was hot, and it was a long walk which was made even LONGER by all the construction going on at DHS...the parking lot is basically a mess, and you had to walk through all these temporary walls that I bet was structured like a maze and it made us feel like we doubled up on distance!
5 times!!!!! That is amazingWe rode it once then turned back and rode it again...and again, and again and again!! OMG we rode it 5 times in a row!!!
Love your shirt!
Please excuse this totally awful picture of us trying to do the "robot". I look more like I'm doing the double-chin "spaz" move.

This is gorgeous! ChunkySis has some serious talent.![]()
How cute is that card? She was also wearing her special Up! dress...needless to say, they were very taken by her outfit! And when they saw the card, they were so happy! The CM kept saying how amazing it was! They love getting gifts! I didn't even know you could give gifts to characters!!

the prospect of getting to ride slinky dog without fastpasses multiple times was definitely the motivation to head out!
Now the distance to DHS from the boardwalk resorts are like 3 times as long as the distance to Epcot! I felt like we were walking forever.

We made a beeline for...Slinky Dog! We ran through the standby queue, and there was a tiny little line to get on the ride, but it was amazing. We rode it once then turned back and rode it again...and again, and again and again!! OMG we rode it 5 times in a row!!!
Because you know, I had to document this for TR purposes.
Finally after our 5th time on SDD, we had to pry ourselves to go ride A.S.S.
It was so empty that Steve and I rode in separate cars each time just so we wouldn't keep bumping into each other.![]()
Woody: "Where are you going ma'am? The sheriff has some questions for you."![]()
i was so happy to get our picture with Woody and Jessie as I'm too lazy to wait in their regular too-long-of-a-wait-because-I'm-not-chunkysis-line.![]()
Please excuse this totally awful picture of us trying to do the "robot". I look more like I'm doing the double-chin "spaz" move.
And the most amazing sight...the passholder line was empty for once!!
So we didn't have to wait on line and we entered AK, rather confused how there was no line, but hey, we'll take it!
As many of you know, she makes her own greeting cards, and she created a special one for Russell and Dug.
I didn't even know you could give gifts to characters!!
