First a Little Pomp & Circumstance,then a Whole Lot of Disney Dining! COMPLETE

[jabead]

I don't have a pretrip report and I'm not sure if I will do a dining report, but I could do live updates. I will be there very late on September 25 through October 2, staying at Art of Animation Little Mermaid with free dining upgraded to Deluxe.

That would be great sarabear! Maybe you will enjoy it so much that you will decide to do a full dining report when you return home. But regardless, it would be great to have you join our live reporting team. I will send you a PM with my number.

Oh, and your dining plans look deliciously good!

Yes, new desserts were awesome at Cape May. If you like chocolate the flourless chocolate cake option is delicious (very rich). I liked it better than the Bon bons on the old spread. They also had flan at the dessert station, but I didn't take any. It's 2 hours after dinner now and I'm still so stuffed!

The flourless chocolate cake looks and sounds really good - now I want to eat at Cape May more than I ever have before! Thanks for sharing the good news about dessert!

We just may have to put Cape May back on rotation for next time since we have seafood lovers in the house both young and old.

The desserts looked soooo good!! I love flourless chocolate cake type things so I'd love to try that! But clearly the baby did not get enough to eat.

Just doing a little "DIS" housekeeping this morning and could use your help in cleaning up my LIST OF DISers with UPCOMING TRIPS (see my signature for link to entire list). If you have a trip coming up yet this month or during the month of October, please check that I have your trip info listed correctly below. Please let me know if there are any corrections, changes in plans, additions, etc. Also if I don't have you listed and you would like to be included, please let me know.

Oh, and one more plug for texting in "live updates" during your trips. If you have already agreed to do so, then thank you. If I have missed anyone that would like to do this, please let me know...'cause the more the merrier! And for those of you who live outside of the U.S., I realize that texting could be a problem for you. I certainly do not want to exclude you though, so if you would like to take part then we can arrange something through email. You would then just need a laptop and internet service to send me some pics and I'll do all the rest of the work for you!
