Don't Mess With My Toot Toot!! A Wigd and gang TR/PTR Upd: 12/7 pg.60 Going WILD!

[wigdoutdismom]

I just love reading all those posts about riding HM!! AND I hear that POTC now has Blackbeard!!!! I am so excited to get my MK ride fix!!!! what are the plans for park time??!! I gotta get with the program!!!! LOL!!

OH, and everytime I see that photo of Marc I laugh and laugh and laugh!! He looks great with the Vera Bradley shopping bag!!!

OH can I tell you that potato gratin is the BEST BEST BEST ever!!!!!! WE enjoyed that SO much!!! It is why we went to Narcossee's TWICE last summer!!!

GF is very nice, so pretty, but not sure if I would unleash my boys on that property for any length of time... they are building a DVC there, apparently!

Great update!!! Outlets look fun. I have never been to them or to the Disney outlet there in Orlando, either.

The park plans will be up to Jen, she is the guru! I'm easy to please, it will be fun to be there with soooo many DIS friends!!! I think we planned the meals in like five minutes, so I'll bet the park plans will take her another five...
She probably already has it in her mind.
I've heard this rumor about DVC at the Grand Flo before. Alas we will not own there...
We are looking to make our last purchase here in the next few weeks. I have almost hit my goal number of points and I've promised Marc I would stop when I got there. It's a good number and we should be able to vacation very well on them...
I can't wait to stay there though! I'm sure it will be GRAND!!!

WigD you are always up for a good deal on points!!! you have a lot of family to think about with those little ones and it will be nice to have plenty of points to do what you want! If they do build there it will be neat to see them! Now Hawaii... would love to head back there!!!! LOL!

Just stopped in to say Good Morning, friends. It's nice to be back catching up with what's new in DIStown.

Good Morning my friend!! I am so glad you are back! I'm sure you had a very busy but fulfilling week!!!! Hope you have a great weekend!

Hey Jen! I didn't know that you had a new trip report. I think that I'm all caught up on your posts so far, and I look forward to hearing more about the trip. Sounds like you're having fun so far.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Narcoossee's is one of those restaurants I have yet to try (or figure out how to pronounce correctly ). Always great to hear such a glowing review. Definitely putting this on my wish list. I can't say as I blame Baylor.... I have been known to hoard especially scrumptious potato dishes. That's my weakness. The cheesecake you mention does nothing for me, but potato??

 

[jenjolt]

I have got to remember to eat before I DIS. TRs always make me hungry!!

Narcoosee's sounds so wonderful! I'm going to have to consider that for a future trip.

As well as the outlets!! I never seem to have enough time! I need to go for about 2 weeks! Cute VB purchases!!

I know I always make the mistake of not eating and before catching up on TRs and I always have to go find a snack LOL!!!

Narcoossee's is amazing...definitely a must do!!!! And at Wishes time...so awesome!!!!

Outlets are so much fun! I'm going to head up to my Disney one soon I am on the look out for some really cute shirts!

 

[jenjolt]

Jen you were correct on all accounts of the selections at Narcoossee's. We are AGAIN trying to upload photo's from my phone. It didn't workout yesterday and the pinwheel of death kept visiting the computer!!!
I know I have photo's of that fish! It was outstanding! Your flat bread was too! So sweet of you to share, but that's just the way you are! One of the many reasons we keep you around!
I must say that the cheesecake was the best thing ever!!! Oh my goodness!!!! Thinking about our evening makes me all gushy.... It was just perfect. Brook would have enjoyed it too! Hey! Baylor didn't spill his drink even!

Remember how long Baylor made us wait before he let us taste his potatoes?
I can't remember did we play the ice game and did I win again? Hmmmm pictures, must get to the pictures.....

YAY for being right!!! I was pretty sure I could figure out our meals!!!! That was fish was really really good thanks for sharing some with me! Thanks to you I found that seafood really isn't all that bad LOL!!!! I actually like crab, who knew?!?!?!

That evening was the best!! Great company, great food, great fun, and a great view!! Doesn't get any better...oh wait and free valet parking WOOT WOOT!!!!

I don't think we played the ice game that night?!?! But I can't be certain about that!!!!

We did have to wait awhile for those potatoes...but they sure were worth the wait...SO GOOD!!

 

[jenjolt]

Yeah for outlet shopping. Love your purchases. So sorry that Brook has to leave. So nice of you guys to drive her to the airport.

Your dinner looks amazing. I, too, love asparagus. That flatbread looks to die for.

Awesome view!!!!! Way to go. I love standing outside on the deck. It really is a refreshing breeze and an awesome view!

Outlet shopping was so much fun and it wouldn't be the last time I was sad to see Brook go, I look forward to more opportunities to go to Disney when she is there!! She was so much fun!!!

Asparagus is an awesome veggie!! Both on the flatbread and for dinner it was just so good!!!!!!

You are so right about that view!! I love it!!!!

 

[LookinUp]

I have got to remember to eat before I DIS. TRs always make me hungry!!

Me, too! Or me three, since Jen already chimed in.
Thanks for the food pics, Jen. Now I've got a rumbly in my tumbly! And I'm scheming about how I can squeeze in another ADR. Mmmm ... Must have cheesecake & Wishes at Narcoossee's.

So glad you had such fun with Brook. What a great group! And how galant of Marc to tote your hard-won prizes around. He is a prize himself. Hoping to see the power-shopping couple in action here in Chicago really soon. Our new interactive Disney store looks pretty amazing, so that would be fun. But then the Michigan Avenue store is so much bigger ... and the outlets call, too. So many Disney stores, so little time!

I'll have to be very careful with any shopping time. Baylor is not going to tolerate much of it at all!!!

I would definitely recommend Narcoossee's what a great place!!!!! Cheesecake and Wishes...now that's a title LOL!!!!!!

LOL So many Disney stores so little time...oh how true how true!! Hope you guys have a great time together in Chicago!!!!

LOL I think you should tell him you're preparing him for the future!!!!

I now realize what all my southern DIS friends go through on a yearly basis... It was 94 degrees at 10 AM here, and really humid. I took a screen shot of the weather app on my phone this afternoon because it said it was 102 and I've never seen triple digits on there!

Your dinner at Narcoossee's looks soooooo good! Definitely on my list of places I want to try someday!

Ahhh the outlets. I was thinking of you and Anita last week -- I went up to North Conway, New Hampshire for the day, and we checked out the outlet stores there for some nice tax-free shopping!

OY!! Wow you are getting a taste of the south aren't you!! Big difference we all have HUGE ACs blaring!! I fee for you guys!!!!!! YUCK!!!!!

Tax-free now that is my type of shopping! Our big tax-free weekend is coming up and I think a visit to the outlets will be on the list!!!

One day when I was hauling stuff out of my car and into the camp the air was so thick it was almost suffocating. At 10 p.m., we still had a 103 heat index, I think it was. Still, I would rather have the extreme heat than the extreme cold of the north. I freeze to the bone in the winter and just can't function.

WOW that is some heat!! UGHHHHH!!! I couldn't agree more with you though, I'd rather put up with heat than deal with cold and SNOW...no THANK YOU!!! I'm a Southern Weather Pansy when it comes to the cold LOL

LOL I didn't know that about you!!! So you're a potato girl!! FUN FUN!! I do love me some potatoes and you would have loved that gratin!!!!!!!!

I can barely remember how to spell it let alone say it LOL

Did I know you had never ridden Haunted Mansion??? I don't think I did. Is there anything else you have never ridden? Mission Space for me. I wouldn't be able to do that one for obvious reasons.

I've mentioned it a time or two, but it wasn't anything big - I had planned to ride it a couple trips prior, but Joe has zero interest and Henry scares easily, so we've just always skipped it. When he gets a tad older we will bring him on it. Right now I think it would still scare him. But, I thought it was pretty amazing! So many details, and I couldn't get over how LONG the ride was.

Hurray for Brook FINALLY riding the Haunted Mansion!!! Wasn't it fun?

Yes! It was way more than I thought it ever would be!

Yay for Brook's first ride, FINALLY!




Your resistance is futile............

Just do it Brook!

Yes, FINALLY! I think I have ridden every single ride/attraction in the MK now after this last trip. Of course the new Tiki room should be open in August, so I'll have to hit that!

I would LOVE to join everyone in October.

That's exactly why I want to ride HM with Jen and I can't believe I missed my opportunity. BOO!

Wait - this really WAS Brook's ride on HM? For real? Go Brook - did you love it?

For real! It was!! I did really enjoy it, it surprised me with the detail and length. No wonder it's a favorite!

Neither Brook nor I had made it to the outlets before so it was time to visit!!

We had a great time at the Outlets!! We definitely got our shop on at the Vera Bradley store!!!! I think this was a day of firsts for Brook because I believe she finally caved and bought her first Vera that day too...AND if I'm not mistaken she has the fever now and wants another one LOL

I'll never forget when Anita asked me at LTT, "So, do you like shopping Brook?" UM...YES! I was so excited to check out the outlets! They are awesome. I'm determined that on a future trip we will rent a car and I'll be frequenting them!

And I do LOVE my Vera!!! Oh my word, what a great little purse! I just got a wristlet, but it's PERFECT for what I need. I do need one with a black base now. I even use it as a wallet sometimes and throw it in a bigger bag. It's just awesome.

That picture of Marc makes me I remember "the look" he was giving Wigd when we were all at the counter too and she pulled out the plastic. We had QUITE the pileup:

Mine is the brown one in the upper left.

Your meal at Narcoossee's sounds AMAZING! I have been meaning to take a second look at our August plans, and this place will definitely be on mind mind! YUM. And glad to hear Baylor didn't spill his drink.

I've heard this rumor about DVC at the Grand Flo before. Alas we will not own there...
We are looking to make our last purchase here in the next few weeks. I have almost hit my goal number of points and I've promised Marc I would stop when I got there. It's a good number and we should be able to vacation very well on them...
I can't wait to stay there though! I'm sure it will be GRAND!!!

We won't own there either, but I am looking forward to staying there!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Hey Brook! There's a good chance we may be stopping by a VB outlet in the next week. Let me know if there is anything I need to look at for you....

 

[Charleston Princess]

Fun update with a trip to the Vera outlets and a prime view of Wishes! I must say that almond cheesecake looks pretty delicious!!! So nice of Marc to be the bag carrier!

 

[mickeyfan71]

I have also been bit by the Vera bug! I love my mini-hipster! I use it in the parks and also when I go shopping. I think I am going to bite the bullet and buy my first Dooney in October as my 40th bday present to myself!
