Type faster! This is a great report!

I was then served my cheese plate, which had three different kinds of cheeses on it, Fiscalini cheddar, Midnight Moon, which is a type of goat cheese, and Echo Mountain blue cheese. Also on the plate were raisins, a fig cake, walnut toast, and tomato-onion marmalade.

disneyfav, I see 2 glasses there in the cheese plate photo. Did you have a friend join you?

No, all of my meals were solo.

So you were just getting loaded? JUST KIDDING!!! I remember you saying you tried to limit yourself to one adult beverage a day.

LOL. No one is my soda glass, and the other is my water glass. I always need a diet coke, but I try to be good and drink water too. I hate the way the Florida tap water tastes though, but I was able to get Evian on the dining plan at some of the restaurant, like big $6 bottles of the stuff too.

REALLY?!! I'm an admitted water snob. I live for Fiji and Evian! I will NOT drink anything from a tap. Especially after the prescription medication fiasco here in NY a few months back....They found RX meds in the tap water. Can you imagine?

Same here, I stockpile Fiji water...it is the best.

I live in FL and the water here is so gross, it smells terrible!

That salmon at AP looks wonderful.

I don't understand when people say different bottled waters all taste the same. I can NOT drink Poland Spring, Dasani, or Aquafina.

BTW- I see you'll be in WDW when we are. If you see a crazy young parent chasing an overactive 4 yr old that's me! lol

I have been reading your review. So far so good
I do have a couple of questions if you do not mind.
If you are worried about someone taking your photos why have you only watermarked some?
Aslo since you where on the Deluxe dining plan how did the tipping go?

We went to Disney last year around Thanksgiving and I loved all the Christmas decorations they had up. We are thinking of going next fall, and I was looking forward to Fall type decorations. I notice in your picture of CP there are no decorations. Part of the reason I wanted to go during this time was for the festive/fall type feel, but if they don't do anything special, I may stick with the Christmas period.

Does Disney not decorate for this time of year?

 

[WDisneyWforMe]

Another great installment. We have and ADR for CP in December, boy do I hope they are still serving that Salmon, it LOOKED wonderful! Also I don't know much about cameras or editing, but I know your pictures look great

I've always wanted to try Artist Point and I have to say your meal looked great. Maybe someday?!?

Keep the great reviews coming!

I am very picky about tap water as well. At home I have a Brita filter, and I have to use that.

Even after two weeks I still couldn't stand the FL tap water.

It was good, but the salmon at Crystal Palace was better.

I don't think they all taste the same, there are some I like better then others. My two favorites are probably Evian and Dasani.

They are almost all watermarked, just some of the watermarks I did so they blended in very well, as to not to distract from the food. Tipping was easy, I would just either tip cash, or I would just give my server my credit card as well as my key to the world card, and it wasn't a problem charging the tip, and having my meal come from my plan's credits.

It is decorated. There's a lot of decorations in Town Sqaure, and some up in the Hub, as well as all up and down Main Street. Crystal Palace is the only building in that Main Street area I don't remember having banners or pumpkins. In December it's definatly more decorated then it is in October, but there are still decorations.

I don't know much technical stuff about photography either. All I do is play with some of my photos in editing a little before posting them to make them more attractive.

 

[Lady V]

Good stuff!!! Keep it coming!!

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Good stuff!!! Keep it coming!!

Thank you.

I want to try and get Yak and Yeti up today, but I just don't know if that's going to happen. I'll try though.

 

[Ginamarie]

Great reviews! I can't wait to read the rest.

 

[not_minnie]

They have two different color dinner plates at CP? Seems kinda tacky to me, like they don't have enough of one kind to go around?

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Great reviews! I can't wait to read the rest.

Glad you're enjoying them.

Yak and Yeti should be up in the next day or two. But not tonight, I have a headache, and staring at the computer screen, trying to do a review, will not make it feel any better.

They do have the two, but one is a smaller plastic type plate at the kid's area of the buffet. Since I knew all I wanted was the salmon I grabbed that the last time I went up.

AH! that explains it then. Thanks for clearing it up, it was driving me nuts
