Sounds like a fun night in Disney Springs!
I agree with you on the nastiness of coffee, but totally disagree on your soda choice. Don't like coke at all. Different strokes for different folks.I had discovered the previous day that the Hyatt Regency only has Pepsi , no Coke, so I made sure to bring a bottle with me this time! I don't like coffee so sodas are my main form of caffeine!
I think they ought to be sued for using the term and not being able to deliver the goods. False advertising.Unfortunately, it ended up being a misnomer, as basically 2 architects who know nothing about Imagineering just decided to try and relate some general ideas back to their projects, but overall, basic info.
Those ribs were delightful!I didn't like Morimoto the first time I ate there a few years ago, but tried it again in June and loved it. I can still taste those yummy ribs!!!
The otterboxes are very reliable! And yes - you do arrive shortly!I love the phone case, I need a new one, May have to pick one up in August!
Soon we meet!
I ended up buying my first proper D&B purse last week - the Disney cat one! I couldn't resist it!I am obsessed with D&B's and came home from my March trip with the Flower and Garden tote. I love it!
Yup - my previous one was really falling apart and had been stained a bluish color after it was in the pocket of a new pair of shorts that still had loose dye! I knew I needed a new one so I waited for WDW!I was going to say that Didn't you already have this... but...
Ahhhh I see.
It was pretty cute!This is the most perfect ornament, I need it!
Haha, well I didn't pay for the conference, so I guess my company would get the refund! I was sitting too close to the front too to be able to duck out quickly!REFUND!!! REFUND!!! REFUND!!!!
Haha - it did have my actual name in it, just no flight info!Somewhere in POR there is a family that was due to get this and didn't make it home!
Yeah we had that issue too - very little space for all the food!That is weird. One thing I didn't like during our trip to Moriomoto is a. how quickly the food came out and b. that it wasn't timed at all. We shared a bunch of dishes and had like 6 on our table all at once.
I ended up getting a Wilderness Lodge one at the store, but it's not really a typical ornament. It's more a wood board. I'll include it in my December TR.We love getting an ornament on every trip. I especially love the resort ornaments. We have quite the collection, but I'll never forget the Coronado Springs and Wilderness Lodge ones we couldn't find on those trips. I'll find them some day!
Wasn't it cute!Ahh! I've never seen this particular egg before!
Hmm, yeah, it would be hard. The sushi selection also didn't look like the most variety. I've been wanting to try Kimonos at the Swan because I hear its good sushi.Morimoto is a place I'm always interested in, but never actually book. I'm not a huge fan of Asian flavors, although my family is. I love sushi though, and that would be my main draw. So weird Su-Lynn's sushi took longer than the cooked items
I think it was designed as a networking breakfast. It was also in the exhibit hall with the various sponsors at booths around the outside edge. It was a bit weird sitting there eating breakfast while lonely sponsors are just sitting there...two hours for breakfast? Long. We usually do 30 minutes to an hour.
Haha! I'm not excited about the Pepsi option in Shanghai Disney!But I will have a Pepsi from time to time, just to remind myself that I like Coke better.
You better believe it! My phone doesn't come out of the box until I have a screen protector and an otterbox case ready for it!Protection. The most important part of a phone case.
Oh I bet they would/will love it! I visited over the weekend with someone and her 4-yr old son and he was pretty adorably in love with it all. She texted us quotes when he was describing it to his dad and it was cute!I wanted to wait to read your SWGE recap for when I had time to devote to the updates. And I'm glad I did because they did not disappoint! I am a casual SW fan, but you sold me on the new land. It looked amazing and truly immersive. I can't wait to try that blue milk one day, and I'm so glad my kids weren't around to see photos of your BB-* headband! They would have loved it!
Yeah, spice and me don't mix well! Luckily Disney isn't too bad in that regard!You and I are kindred spirits in this. So I appreciate your comments on what is and isn't spicy!
I know! I loved that shirt! Oh well...Oh man I would totally wear that if they made it for adults!!
Yeah. I mean the ribs were great and I've heard good things about most of their other dishes. It was just one of those places I didn't regret going but I'm not going to rush back to.Everything looks SO good! I hear mixed reviews on Morimoto in general, "good-but-not-life-changing" seems to be the consensus.
Yeah it was nice. Got some shopping done, which was good since I really didn't spend much time there at all on this trip!Sounds like a fun night in Disney Springs!
After the keynote address we had 15 minutes. I had to basically rush to the cafe and get some soda so I could have some caffeine + occupy myself with sipping it! It was the only thing that kept me away for the morning sessions!As boring as the conference was I'm sure it was nice knowing they got you there earlier! haha I, like you, am not a coffee drinker and pop doesnt always have enough caffiene for conferences like that!!!
Very true! I have such a list of restaurants and I want to check off so many of them, it will be hard to do so!Shame you didn't like Morimotos!! But thats the benefit to Disney and how many other options there are to try! Honestly, I feel like I'm happier when a meal doesn't live up so I don't have to try to fit it in anymore! lol
It was great! I rode another 3x yesterday! Though once they add the other random missions I hope I'll be able to try them out too!Thanks for all the SWGE pictures and info! I'm amazed with how many times you got to ride!
Haha - the thing was it actually was a decent presentation topic in the end. They didn't need to try to hook people with the "imagineering" term!I think they ought to be sued for using the term and not being able to deliver the goods. False advertising.
Oh my gosh! I am obsessed with that bag!!! What silhouette did you choose? I can't wait to see it in person next week.... just may have to convince DH to get it for me for an anniversary present!I ended up buying my first proper D&B purse last week - the Disney cat one! I couldn't resist it!
I got the Annual Passholder one. I prefer longer shoulder straps and liked that design more than the larger satchel or tote! Definitely the most expensive purse I've ever bought, but it's too cute!Oh my gosh! I am obsessed with that bag!!! What silhouette did you choose?

Oh my gosh....I am in LOVE!!! That is the bag I would want as well. And you got great placement!I got the Annual Passholder one. I prefer longer shoulder straps and liked that design more than the larger satchel or tote! Definitely the most expensive purse I've ever bought, but it's too cute!
That's amazing and funny at the same time. Cool pic!!!
(Oh funny TR story – I’m looking at the photo above and am like, something doesn’t feel right about it…so I decide to rotate 180 degrees. Yup – upside down! Which I guess demonstrates how still the water was that morning)
So, you mean it was about a mile away?I hopped in a Lyft over to the conference; it was held at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, about 15-20 minutes away depending on traffic.
Well, considering you had imagineers who weren't, that would put me to sleep too.Of course, with only a couple hours of sleep and not exactly the most invigorating of conference topics, I nearly fell asleep a few times! Oops.
It's okay...not on Disney property, TR or DR pictures are not normal or necessary.It was a pretty good meal, but it felt a bit weird to take photos, so I didn’t!
Oh that’s not mine! I’ll need to take a photo of my placement-basically shift Rajah to the center by an inch and that’s it. I wanted to make sure it had Oliver and Figaro because I love them!Oh my gosh....I am in LOVE!!! That is the bag I would want as well. And you got great placement!
Aha! My dream cats bag will have Marie, Cheshire Cat and Figaro.....love all three! It'll be fun looking for it next week.Oh that’s not mine! I’ll need to take a photo of my placement-basically shift Rajah to the center by an inch and that’s it. I wanted to make sure it had Oliver and Figaro because I love them!
Coffee is nasty but espresso is a little betterI agree with you on the nastiness of coffee, but totally disagree on your soda choice. Don't like coke at all. Different strokes for different folks.

Oh man I soooo want this purse! When they first released it I thought about grabbing it. It has three of my favorite things: cats, pink, and Disney!I got the Annual Passholder one. I prefer longer shoulder straps and liked that design more than the larger satchel or tote! Definitely the most expensive purse I've ever bought, but it's too cute!

Breakfast was a simple bounty platter at Riverside Mill.
Of course, with only a couple hours of sleep and not exactly the most invigorating of conference topics, I nearly fell asleep a few times! Oops
Zach and I hadn’t quite decided if you could really say you were at Disneyworld unless you properly went under one of the arches…
I just remember the eggs being pretty plasticy the day befor
I don't like coffee so sodas are my main form of caffeine!
Turns out Su-Lynn was next to her, but I just didn’t see her at first!
Morimoto Spare Ribs (pork ribs, cilantro, hoisin sweet chili glaze). This was delicious!
Morimoto Peking Duck for two
Overall, while I enjoyed the meal (for the company mostly), I wasn’t sold on Morimoto
We made a stop at Amorettes, where I picked up some treats for my breakfast the next morning!
But I did buy this shirt (which was handy to have when I had to unexpectedly change shirts one day),

Love this shirt
LOL everyone with their phones out.
Cute head band
Yay. I'm sure that many of them stolen in the first week and so the had to resort to going to plastic.. I was also impressed how they used real metal sporks and dishes, not disposable ones.
WOW just WOW
Oh Yum
Love Sephora makeup I work 12 hour shifts and the eye shadow really holds up for me.It was the first time I’ve gotten Sephora makeup and I was actually impressed with the quality.
Uh I'd say he looks constipated. Sorry Su-Lynn @chunkymonkey
Love POR this is the building we stayed in great location, especially if you have you own car. I hear the bus stops can be take forever here.
I hope it's not too long! I really just write it because I enjoy reliving my trips!great trip report, it is going to take a long time to absorb all the details!
Thanks for sharing all the memories and pictures!
Haha, sounds like LA traffic distances! It's about 10 miles away. And there really wasn't too bad of traffic either morning!So, you mean it was about a mile away?
I thought it was further than that.
Good to know the rulesIt's okay...not on Disney property, TR or DR pictures are not normal or necessary.
Good luck! Cheshire Cat is one of the cats in the print, so you'll have to check placements!Aha! My dream cats bag will have Marie, Cheshire Cat and Figaro.....love all three! It'll be fun looking for it next week.
Yup - I even considered getting caffeine pills once!Coffee is nasty but espresso is a little better
I can't survive without caffeine
I know, it's so cute!Oh man I soooo want this purse! When they first released it I thought about grabbing it. It has three of my favorite things: cats, pink, and Disney!
I think when I was on my first trip we got a couple of the bounty platters. I haven't typically been getting QS, but in this case it made sense! Also - work was paying for it, so that was easy enough!I don't think I've ever had a QS breakfast in Disney. I either make it in the villa, we go out to a TS restaurant, or I just grab a bagel/croissant/etc.
I think he was doing rides in DHS? We did end up sending all our leftovers home with Su-Lynn for Steve to eat. (Morimoto said we couldn't take home the sushi, so when the waitress walked away, we snuck the last pieces into one of the to-go boxes!What happened to Steve?
Oh, you have to try it! Especially one time when you are staying at SSR or OKW! They aren't too bad costwise, the mini pastries are about $6 and totally worth it! There's no AP discount though.I've always wanted to get something there, but it's all so fancy and expensive. Plus we usually have so much from Karamel Kuche back in the room, I can't justify more sweets!
Last fall I made my first purchase - a wristlet with the attraction ear hats. Then in April I bought a cross body with the Disney posters from around the world. So this was my first proper sized purse!That's your first????? I caught the addiction a while back, I want to say it was with DL's 55th Anniversary purse. Now I'm a Dooney hoarder!
And I bought all three of the non passholder purses the day they came out a few weeks ago.
I checked for them too! But priority was Oliver!That's funny! I wanted to make sure mine had Marie, Berlioz and Toulouse!
The detail is truly amazing!I'm not a SW fan and much of SWGE is lost on me, but I must admit there is so much more detail than I would have ever thought. Also hurray for animatronics that actaully look like they are from this century (not jerky).
Yeah - we could tell who was doing their first visit based on who had their phones out!LOL everyone with their phones out.
Now they have proper metal forks. It's not the same as the sporks though!Yay. I'm sure that many of them stolen in the first week and so the had to resort to going to plastic.
