Few firsts, friends & H. P. an Oct. TR - New 3/4 - THE END...

[scottny]

"It's a small world after all". It really does stay in your head after you leave. LOL We decided to walk over towards Tomorrowland. By now it is noon and we see the construction going on.

This looks like it could be fun.

We walked around the Castle. by now Vinny is hungry. I was not but we decided to eat. First some castle pics.

Halloween statues.

Originally we were to eat a counter service lunch and then Tony's for dinner. As we discovered we never really spent more than a half a day in the parks so we decided to check out the Plaza first. They had a 30 minute wait for walk ins and Vinny did not want to wait. So we walked towards the entrance and decided to go to

We were seated immediately on the porch. It was fantastic sitting out there. As you can see a parade was going on.

Food:
Apps -
Vinny - seasonal soup

Scott - cheese bread

Entree:
Vinny - Shrimp Scampi
Scott - Chicken Parmesan

Dessert:
Vinny - creme brulee

Scott - Tony's Cheesecake

I loved the picture

The meal would have cost us $67.44 without the plan.

Vinny went to the bathroom and I asked him to take a pic Lady & The Tramp. I guess his fingers were included in the movie. LOL

Ok will stop, might be over pic limit.

Up next....

What to do, what to do...

 

[englishrose47]

Great pix including Vinnie's finger !!!I loved Tony's the last 2 times I ate there !!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

How fun to sit outside at Tony's and watch the parade going by!

 

[Lesprivate]

The food at Tony's look so good, I will have to try it sometime. Magic Kingdom still looks empty.

 

[Native NYer]

I can't wait for the Fantasyland expansion to be complete.
What a great table at Tony's! You view of the parade is great.
We have never tried Tony's and we Italian food. Do you recommend it?

 

[PrincessAlways]

Great seats at Tony's!!! How was the food? Did you enjoy it? We haven't eaten there in quite some time. I always loved eating there.

It was a lot of fun. I was so happy when we were brought to our table out there. I love eating outside.

It was really good. Now of here in NYC u can get really good Italian but it was good.

I can't wait for the Fantasyland expansion to be complete.

It does look exciting what it will look like.
We got lucky with the table. I would recommend it. Vinny said it was good.

thanks. It was good, not great but good. I did. You should try it again and go for lunch and ask for a table outside if it is nice.

That was a great seat at Tony's. I've never had seating there, so I will have to ask for it the next time we go.

I love the design that they put on the plate with the cheesecake. It's so cute.

Whew, I am finally caught up again! I could buy everything in that Christmas store too! I would go nuts!

Poor Vinny with all those birds around him! lol I honestly can say I don't blame him! I am fine if there is one bird around, but when you start bringing out a lot...look out because I am gone!

I love how you got to sit outside at Tony's! That would be a cool place to sit!

 

[ddstratton]

I'm all caught up again! Looks like a beautiful day at Magic Kingdom.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay. Christmas is taking over and I am trying to organize presents.

We did book October (not sure if I told that) and so we will be there 10/15/- 10/22.

We just might be at Disney World at the same time -- for a day or two!! We are trying to plan a quick trip for my 40th birthday. We'd be arriving on the 21st, late morning/early afternoon. And the 22nd is my birthday.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Oh gosh, that construction wall is just hideous! However, the mural and little story makes it exciting! I can't wait till it's all finished. Can you imagine how busy it's going to be??

I see that Vinny and my DH both have the same type of picture taking skills. I call it the "I don't care" method. It irritates me sometimes. On our last vacay I actually had to put the camera in his hands and say "do you think that you could take more pictures of me and my son so that he know's his mother went on vacations with him when he was a kid??" He never even offers. I always have to ask......or tell. But now that I got the new camera for Christmas, I'm giving him the other one. I'm also going to make sure he carries it on our next WDW trip. That way we are BOTH taking pics. I'm hoping that cures it but it probably won't.

I would LOVE to get a table on the patio at Tony's! What a great place to relax for a meal. I love watching the people go by but you guys got to see the parade too. That's pretty nice!

 

[kaysmommie]

All caught up. Great castle pics! So I guess you guys liked Tony's Town Square? Thinking of trying it on our next trip.

he did handle it well for the most part. some parts he did duck and gasp.
it was great and if u ever go there ask to sit there.

I didn't mind the wall. It will be fun when it is done. I don't know if it will be busy or not. If they built a new park I think that would get more people in.
Vinny is usually good with pics but sometimes he is in a rush.
Are you enjoying the camera?
it was nice and yes it was fun watching the people.

Thanks. It was good and glad we went. If we go again we will do lunch again.

That is my motto too.
It is a GORGEOUS resort and I do love it just give yourself some time with the buses. Other than that no issues at all.

 

[scottny]

Lunch done where did we go? Well we saw

She was heading off to a break.
Then we saw

and

Next we saw

yep we were done and heading back for a nap. Now the reason we figured out we took naps everyday was we were getting sick and once we got home we were hit hard. But back to this day.

When we got back to the room we found this.

That was 2:20 we got back and then at 5:48 we were seeing this.

That was at Epcot. This was one of the nights that the bus for MK was terrible and we ended up going to Epcot first then the monorail.
Here it comes.

"Please stand clear of the doors...Por favor mantengase alejado de las puertas."

We arrived at the TTC and I decided I wanted to go on

I have not done this in years.

A few pics as we waited.

I love palm trees

It is here

He looks thrilled. lol

Grand Floridian in the distance.

Passing another.

That pesky crane

Destination

It was definitely Halloween time.

We made our way to

First up was

I snuck some shots.

Short video of show.

After Mr. Morrow we went for a ride.

Continued...

 

[scottny]

Continued,


My pics did not come out so good.

Next up we went over to

My score. Pitiful

Vinny's, even more disgraceful.

Now we were originally going to eat at Tony's for dinner but we changed that to lunch. We called and got a reservation for "Boatwrights" back at the resort. I wanted to see the ELSP so we made our way to Main Street to get a sport for it. I think we should have been 30 minutes earlier. It was so packed and not a spot to be found. I was shocked as we were there within plenty of time. It was so packed on the sidewalk that we walked through the stores and left.
We got back early and was told we had to wait till 9. We went to Riverside Mill and found a table by the window

and sat there and chatted. We did get drinks on the snack plan.
We had about 40 minute wait. Then we went and had dinner. The menu looked so delicious that morning when we looked at it. Looks can be deceiving.
Let's go shall we.

Apps:
Vinny - Crawfish Bites (He enjoyed)
Scott - BBQ Shrimp (OMG so delicious, should be an entree).

Entrees:
Vinny & Scott - Jambalaya (Terrible. Tasted like leftovers from the night that they decided to put in the microwave)

Dessert:
Vinny - Lemon Cake (Hated it)
Scott - Pecan Pie (ok)

I did have a hurricane

That was very good.
The meal would have been $95.92

After the meal we picked up some drinks and then we walked around a little bit and then headed to the room and watched tv and fell asleep.

Up next...

Mary Poppins, Mad Hatter and Epcot

Now I see the crowds
