Divas, Zebra Domes, and Pixie Dust! A Week in an African Paradise! New TR Link Pg.145

Great update! How nice to get a nap! I don't think I'd be able to relax that much at WDW to do that! Love the Epcot pics! I especially liked the one if Chelsea holding the Alice dress. Ally really liked that dress when we visited the UK! Can't wait to read more!
 
Tell me more about this Welsh dragon! Looks pretty good! :thumbsup2 Also happy birthday to Ms Chelsea! You got some great pics of the kids in the UK! When you guys ate there did they ask you if you wanted to eat inside or outside? I think we'd prefer the indoors in August, it'll be so hot!
 
i think i'm having deja vu......

from my september 2008 trip....

we parked at the beach club again and entered through england where we did some shopping!

We didn’t have to wait long, and soon we were seated at a table overlooking the lagoon. It was a gorgeous view.

I ordered a Welsh Dragon -- at that point in the day, I knew I needed something for my nerves. I even whispered to Charles, “Mommy needs a very strong drink!” It was delicious and so was the bread!

i decided it was time for an adult beverage since ray was already 2 ahead of me. i got a welsh dragon - peach schnapps, melon liqueur, creme de menthe, orange juice and pineapple juice. it was GOOD!

shortly after drinks came the bread.......good stuff!

:laughing: i guess great minds think alike. ;)
 
Oh poor Connor and his KP ordeal...and poor you on having to deal with another meltdown. Thankfully Charles was able to deal with this one - and that you all had a nice night once it was taken care of. :goodvibes

I so gotta try to the R&C at some point, that bread looks YUMMY!
 

That Welsh Dragon looks awesome. I'm a sucker for neon drinks.

Well, alcoholic neon drinks. Gatorade just doesn't cut it. :lmao:

I'm glad to hear your tumultous day culminated in a nice dinner. I've been seriously considering a ressie at Rose and Crown for our upcoming trip, and it's nice to know you enjoyed it.

Thank you! I used to say the same thing about being at Disney and napping, but it was a welcome reprieve this time! Ally would make an adorable Alice with all of that blond hair!

Tell me more about this Welsh dragon! Looks pretty good! :thumbsup2 Also happy birthday to Ms Chelsea! You got some great pics of the kids in the UK! When you guys ate there did they ask you if you wanted to eat inside or outside? I think we'd prefer the indoors in August, it'll be so hot!

Thank you! The Welsh Dragon has peach schnapps, melon liqueur, creme de menthe, orange juice and pineapple juice. It was a great drink! Nope, they did not ask us if we wanted to eat inside or outside, but I believe you can request to sit inside if you want.

:rotfl: That's too funny! I did remember you taking the picture with the Alice dress -- which made me laugh when Chelsea suggested doing it, and we ate at Rose and Crown because of your TR -- after reading it, I knew we HAD to eat there! I had no idea though that we practically sat at the same table and took the same pictures. :rotfl: Great minds do think alike! :thumbsup2

Yes, I was glad when Connor finally moved on emotionally. ;) The bread was v-e-r-y yummy!

Meltdown bad

Drink good

Future KP drama.....oh oh.....

That pretty much sums it up! :rotfl2:

I'm glad to hear your tumultous day culminated in a nice dinner. I've been seriously considering a ressie at Rose and Crown for our upcoming trip, and it's nice to know you enjoyed it.

I am a sucker for alcoholic neon drinks with fun names as well! ;)

We really did enjoy it! We would go back there in a heartbeat!
 
Wow I can't wait to eat at Rose and Crown again...it looks like you guys had a great meal!!!

I love Chelsea's pictures...she is having such a great time!! Love the Alice and Wonderland one, too cute LOL!!!

OOOH...the KP saga continues...should be interesting to hear the rest of the tale LOL!!!!!

Hope you are having a great weekend CP!!!!!!

Now I know what's in it and it's even more enticing. I'm not usually a fan of peach, but I think the other flavors without sound like they would balance it out.

I'd love to get a ressie for our first night there, but alas, all booked up. I can get lunch the next day I'm trying to decide whether or not I should.
 
Cute pictures! Poor Connor with his Kim Possible envy going on. Hope you get to sneak in one more mission before the week is over. How long do they take to do? Did Chelsea like them too? I really know very little about them!

Dinner looks nice, esp the beverage! I have never eaten at R&C. I always think about it but have never made it there.

And regarding Key West one of my college friends got married at the Marriott there and I was in the wedding. This was when Grumpy and I were married but pre-kids. I think we spent like 4 days there. It was nice but I'll second the debauchery and public drunkeness and some just downright weirdness! LOL! We did a lovely sunset cruise and saw Hemingway's house. Most of the weird stuff we saw after the sun went down! This was a while ago though, back in 1995.

Poor Connor, he just can't get away from Kim Possible - so frustrating! Sometimes they just can't let things go, can they? Glad Charles was able to calm him down, Dads can be so good at that. "Oh-oh" on the plan to do it another day, doesn't sound like it will have a good outcome.:scared1: Loved the review of Rose & Crown, we'll be eating there on our trip too! Looks yummy, and how nice that you got an outside table. I'm really enjoying your report, you're a great writer!:goodvibes
 
Fist of all, a Happy Belated birthday to Ms. Chelsea!! Chelsea, I hope you had a wonderful day! :wizard:

I really like the Rose and Crown - the atmosphere was fun and I remember our food being very good. Yum!!

So you're heading down to Key West, huh? Fun! It looks like a really neat place. I'm interested to hear about your plans for that trip as well! :thumbsup2
 
Thanks for the review of R&C, we will hopefully get our ADR there for our October trip. The food looks great and so does the drink. My DD hates birds though, so do you think we should make sure to eat inside? I didn't even think of that!

Chelsea is so cute knocking on doors and "trying on" dresses. Sorry about the KP drama, the world/World can be a cruel, cruel place. :laughing:
 
Thank you! Aside from the KP, we had a great evening! Rose and Crown was very nice, and we enjoyed our meal -- you should definitely put it on your next-time list!

Your Welcome :goodvibes Glad to hear the rest of the night went smoothly and you had a great time . I def will do that , Rose Crown and Royal Pub it is !
 
Not that I'm enabling or anything :rolleyes1

Hi CP
I've been reading your TR but amit I don't read all of the comments. I just saw eanesmom's post re. Key West. I spent two weeks down there in March, please feel free too PM me if there are any questions I might be able to answer.
Lynn
 
Oh Jackie,

I have been on the go all weekend and I saw your update this morning. I didn't have time to comment or I would have been late for church.

I love that drink you had at R&C. That picture of Chelsea at dinner is absolutely adorable.

I am soo glad you got a rest, but what a bummer to have Conner still upset over the Kim Possible missions. Cute song, by the way. And, yes, I have heard it before. My kids aren't THAT old!

I love all your R&C pictures. I had an ADR there for September, but canceled it when I decided to go "deluxe" because I wanted to add a signature - Flying Fish. I hope that I don't regret canceling because I have never eaten there. Oh well - there will always be another chance.
