Welcome! :flower3:

So glad to have you along for the ride!
We just love Olivia's for breakfast. Such a relaxing setting and the food IS yummy!:love:
 

And since it is a weekend I thought I'd share a few more older food pics with you all.

Those first ones aren't from Disney :scared1: but from UO from our 04 trip. I wasn't into the "take a photo of your food first" thing then, but the desserts we had at Mythos were just devine.

This was called "A taste of chocolate" and that is exactly what it was! It was yummy.
Starting in the upper left hand corner: chocolate ice-cream on a chocolate maccaroon
Moving clockwise: Chocolate Creme Bruleé, chocolate dipped strawberry, and chocolate lava cake. In the middle is a piece of chocolate, wrapped in filo pasty and deep fried!
Heaven on Earth for this chocolate lover.

And here's a much younger, slimmer, slightly "melted" version of me, trying hard to wait until the photo was taken before digging in.

Tom had the Creme Bruleé and a home-made maccaroon. Killer dessert!!

That same year we had our first taste of unofficial free Disney dining! :lmao: We were at AKL when Hurricane Charley hit and were told to stay at our rooms until notified otherwise.

The day before the storm they told us to stock up on supplies, like water and non-perishable food because everything at the hotel would be closed.

145-4569_IMG.jpg


We picked up a large Disney pizza shortly before Mara closed. All I can remember about it is, that it was the wrong pizza (not what we had ordered) and that it was increadably greesy!
That same night we got a phone message to go down to Jiko in a special timeframe to pick up our "Emergency food pack" - our first FREE DISNEY DINING experience :rotfl:
Here's what we got!

One of the sandwiches was turkey and the other was ham. They were nothing special, but we thought it was a nice touch to hand them out anyway.

We had never experienced anything like Charley before, so once we were allowed "out" again we went shopping and this is what we found.

145-4588_IMG.jpg


Yes, this IS a truck that was turned over by the storm.

The parks were closed for half a day after the storm I think and within 24 hours everything was back to normal.

Even the Musketeers were out and had a blast!

Have a fun weekend!
 
Karin - Thanks for posting the pics! We're staying at Universal for four nights as part of our next trip, I've been trying to decide where we'll eat over there!
 
Wow, it sounds like an awesome trip you have planned! I've always wanted to go on a Disney cruise, maybe next year.

Can't wait to read about your dining adventures.popcorn::
 
Hi! :wave:

Jumping on board for what is going to be another great report. Hope you have a blast! :flower3:

You are welcome! Where are you staying? We'll stay at the Royal Pacific Hotel again - I just LOVE the Island Dining Room there!
I don't know if you are into shrimp, but there is a Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company at UO and we love to dine there. Very relaxed atmosphere and really yummy food. Be prepared to be quizzed on the movie though, LOL! :goodvibes

Welcome! :flower3:
We are both so excited about our vacation this summer. Maybe I can convince you to try a Disney cruise, ;)!

It's good to have you on board again! Now, if only August would be here soon!

WOW! I am glad that all of your dreams are coming true!

Can't wait to read your reviews!:)

Welcome! :flower3:
It's been a wonderful year so far and we are keeping our fingers crossed it stays that way!

We're staying at Portofino Bay Hotel. I love shrimp but we have a Bubba Gump here at home. We're pretty sure we're going to book Emeril's Tchoup Chop. Others that look interesting are Latin Quarter, Mama Della's and probably a night of bar hopping/appetizers along City Walk. We're looking at trying Finnegan's and Mytho's for lunch. Now I'm trying to fit the Island Dining Room in there somewhere!
 
I am so looking forward to this report! It has been great so far!! I so wish I was born your sister. Because, I would definately be tagging along. For this month long vacation. I only can wish to ever be able to go for that long, a cruise, Universal, and Miami. Can, I just say wowee!!! How very exciting!! I know you all will have a blast! I know, I would! :goodvibes

We have stayed at the Portofino before, until they really screwed up on my reservation :lmao:! Today I can laugh about it, but then I swore to never set foot there again.
Emeril's Tchoup Chop is a definite :thumbsup2 ! We were not too impressed with Mama Della's, but then we live close to the border to Italy, so maybe we know real Italian food to well. Try to have an a la carte breakfast at the Island Dining Room - so yummy!

Welcome! :flower3:

Hm, since I don't have a sister, maybe I should give adopting you a thought :lmao: !
We usually travel for a month in the summer, especially if it includes such a long airplane ride. But this one really is going to be special, with the cruise and my American friend is bringing her family to WDW! Should be a lot of fun!
 
Happy Birthday, Karin!

I don't know if you saw it yet or not, but I have solved the mystery of the "molty" tea. The answer is over on your pirates thread!
 
For the best sister and a :worship:travelplaner!
Have a magical birthday! :cheer2: :cake:!!

And thank you again! Yes, I did read that you solved the "molty" tea mystery :lmao:, but I was so busy that day and then completely forgot about it. Sorry!! :sad2:
 
Happy Mother's Day & :bday: too!

By the way, it wouldn't take much convincing to get me on a Disney cruise, all you have to do is find the $ for me to go.:rotfl:
