Boma

Our Boma story...
Eventually we headed over for Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge!

Here we are on the indoor balcony!

And this reallly cool thingy that I have no idea what it is:

And the floor mat (hehe):

We checked in and were given a buzzer:

My parents drinks:

My Tinkerbell drink:

(it was sooo SWEET!)

Joel's Lightning McQueen drink:

Jonathan's Sour Apple drink:

My light up Tink:

Joel's light up Lightning McQueen

Soon we were seated after like a 20 minute wait.

So, we were seated at our table and our waiter got us our drinks. Then we were free to go and try all the African dishes.

Here are some of the foods we tried:

(Do you see the rice? That's the famous Couscous that my dad and DB's adore)

And dessert...

I LOVED those little cups filled with chocolate with the brown and white striped chocolate straw on it. I had like 20 of them they were sooo good!

(It looks like a SMILEY FACE!)

Lately, I've been lurking around the DISign board, and a fabulous DISigner, DISigned this:

I had her put "Doing Disney the Grand Way" at the bottom, and I thought that I should change the title of my PTR to that. Which I've done! Now you know

*This is the update with DB's finger like a hook, because he was a pirate and to some of you from my 2009 TR, the best update*

1900 Park Fare

Our 1900 Park Fare story...

So this was our LAST Sit Down meal of our vacation!

So we headed over to the beautiful Grand Floridian Resort and Spa! It's sooo pretty over there! I love it!

We were about an hour early, so we decided to walk around and check the place out. My mom and I walked around the main floor while DB's and Dad went on the elevator and went to the top floor to see the view. I'm too afraid of heights/elevators to do it

We had a lot of snack credits left so once the rest of our 'party' cam back down we went to a little giftshop there and got some drinks:

And guess what DB9 spotted in the giftshop...

AHHHH! I just HAD to get it! It was too AWESOME for me not to get it!! Did I mention, I went on a shopping spree this trip? LOL :]

So I got my AWESOME Yankee/Mickey pin, it's now one of my favorite pins, and we went back to the main room to sit down and relax before our dinner.

After about 10 minutes our buzzer started buzzing, so off we went to the check-in desk! Incase you have never been to 1900 Park Fare (but you have gone to Chef Mickeys) they take your picture infront of a mural of Cinderella's castle. Just like how Chef Mickeys takes your picture infront of a Big plate that says Chef Mickeys or something.
After our picture was taken we were brought to our table. All the way in the back in a smaller room that fit about 8-10 tables. We were the second to last table back. Lucky us.

After no time at all, Prince Charming joined us:

(hehe you can see Cindy in the background)
Prince Charming asked me if I was a Princess, which of course I am! He asked Jonathan if he was a Prince, which of course he is! And he asked Joel if he was also a Prince. Here was Joel's response "No. I'm a Pirate."
*Hand on forehead*
Prince Charming continued and asked him if he was a good or a bad pirate.
Joel's response "A bad one."
*Sigh*
Incase you couldn't tell in the Prince Charming picture, Joel has his hand like how a pirate has a hook for a hand. That is sooo him. :]

Prince Charming also asked us who our favorite Disney characters were.
I said Tinkerbell
Jonathan said Mickey
Joel said Goofy
Prince Charming said "Well, I guess you know Cinderella is my favorite character!"
Haahaa :]

(I guess you can tell Joel wasn't too excited about these characters)

After Charming left Cinderella joined us.

Here was our conversation:
"Oh look! You are wearing blue, just like me!" *she points at my shirt*
"Cool"
And DB's conversation:
Cindy: "Would you like a portrait with me?"
DB11: "uhh... I guess"
Cindy: "How about your brother?"
DB11: "I dont know."
Cindy: "Do you want a portrait?" *points at Joel*
DB9: "UGHHHH, fine*

Bye-Bye Cindy.

Then we left to get some food!

And for desert:
Ice cream!

Soon Drizella came over.

Haha, my brothers were kind of hesistant around her!

Conversation:
Drizella: *points to DB's* "You two are kind of cute"
DB11: *his face totally says 'freak!'*
DB9: *SIGH*
Drizella: "How old are you?''
DB11: ''11''
DB9: ''9''
Drizella: "Oh thats way too young for me. Maybe next year!"

Drizella: "So, do you want a portrait with me?! Well, of course you do!''

Bye-bye Dreadful Drizella!

Who came next? Anastasia of course!
Her and her insanely high pitched voice!

Conversation
Anastasia: "Hi!"
Me: "Hi''
Anastasia: "Who are you?"
Me: "Sara"
Anastasia: "Okay! I would introduce myself, but I know you know who I am!"
Me: *roles eyes*
Anastasia: "Who are you?"
DB11: "Jonathan"
Anastasia: "That's nice"
Anastasia: "And who are you?"
DB9: "UGHHHH Joel"
Anastasia: "That's nice, you know who I am, right?"
Anastasia: "Well of course yo---"
DB9: "No."
Anastastia: "You're just kidding, I can tell!" *laugh*
DB9: *eye roll*

And last but not least, Lady Tremaine!

Truth be told, I have no idea what she said to us and what we replied with. I guess it wasn't that important.


Let's get this mini story started!
Like I said, we sat at the second to last table.
Well, the people behind us were so loud and obnoxious.
Every time one of the stepsisters walked by they would start yelling and screaming to them, trying to make some "inside jokes" with the stepsisters. Well, if that isn't bad enough, the stepsisters are trying to interact with OTHER tables. These people apparently need to realize, the world does not revolve around them. Well, it got even worse while Anastasia was talking with us, these people were trying to get her to come over there. I was thinking "Would you people shut it, she is clearly talking to us, just give her two minutes and she'll be over there!" But no, they can't wait two minutes.
After a little while CM's started coming over to them asking them if there was anything else they needed. And eventually the Manager came over and asked them if they needed anything. You could clearly tell they were trying to get them out of there! They were just sitting there, plates empty, trying to get the stepsisters attention. Finally, they left. Thank Goodness!

Okay, Mini story complete!
