Mmmmh, Yachtsman!!!!!!

Your dinner looks soooooooo good! And don't get me started on the onion rolls.

OMG! That food porn was amazing The prices are crazy though! I for sure would need the dining plan going there! My DH is a meat and potatoes man and would love it!

There are so many place I want to see. We have friends that just bought a house in Hawaii. I would love to go to Aulani but alas my next vacation to Disney is a few years off! I am going back to school in January and won't be done for a year. There goes our vacation money!

We have never been to Yachtsman's. It looks delicious - will have to add it to my to do list.

Mmmmmm dinner looks delicious!! Yachtsman almost made it to the ADR list for May but I can't remember what beat it out. So many good restaurants to always try and so many that you can't leave out!

I love Wellington...nice touch with the foam on top too. Looks like something from Top Chef..bummer it was too salty though.

Happy that Sean had such a good day and was well accommodated with his bounty of french fries

Great shots of pool and DH favorite restaurant. I love Flying Fish. It is a tradition of ours to eat at Yachtsmans on our first night.

Lovely afternoon. SAB looks so inviting right now. Sean looks like he's having a great time! I don't blame him for only wanting to swim at the world.

Dinner looks delish. Pod's steak looks fabulous. Yummy onion bread. So glad Sean enjoyed his dinner. Can't wait to see what else is in store for the evening.

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Those fries looked very tasty! Glad that Sean has enjoyed himself.

We changed our ressie for Yachtsman to Narcoossee's, think that we will try Yachtsman next time. BTW, sorry, but to me that filet looked like it had just taken a crap! I would have a hard time eating that & I love filet.

Those steaks look sooooo good, despite it being before 11am right now! Darn New Years diet!!!!

No joke!! Darn New Years diet! I only have 9 days to drop 30 lbs- think I'll make it??

So glad Sean was doing well this day, with swimming and unlimted french fries!!!!

Happy New Year my friend!!!

Happy New Year girlfriend! Wish I were seeing you before May!

What a wonderful review of Yachtsman! Sean's fries look delicious!! As well as the steaks. I love the decor of the restaurant, but so far never made it there because other venues just seemed more special...

His fries WERE really good, I have to say....not that we stole any or anything.... I had only ever been there once before- two years ago with Pods- for the same reason. It was actually better this time- lately the reviews have been very good, that was why we decided to go. Ahhhh...the power of the DIS!

The yaughtsman looks amazing, I think I may need to make an ADR for my Sept trip

I hope you enjoy it! We did!

Mmmmh, Yachtsman!!!!!!

Your dinner looks soooooooo good! And don't get me started on the onion rolls.

Karin!! I have so much to catch up on in your reports- you have been writing like a FIEND!! Today I just realized there's a whole trip to Vienna I never knew was there! I really am trying to catch up- your TRs are the best, i love "going on vacation" with you and Tom!

 

[Mysteria]

Looks like Sean had a great day! I'm sure that helped make it a great day for everyone.

Based on that food porn we need to add YSH as a must do. Den will go for the onion rolls alone!

 

[rndmr2]

Looks like you had a great day, SAB looks like a lot of fun. Awesome dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse, I'm not a big steak fan but DH is, maybe that will make it on our list someday, I know you can get things other than steak there.

I am glad to have you, Ellen! I have learned so much reading YOUR reports!!

MMM Steak...

Are the onion rolls kind of like an onion ring thing, or more bread that peels like an onion? I've never heard of anything like it...

DS is the same about mac & cheese. He asks the waiters directly now if it's Kraft or homemade!

The pools look great!

Sometimes I think it's more the bigger kids having accidents than the little babies... My mother took DS to the local waterpark last summer and by the lifejacket area there was a boy about 5 or 6 peeing, right out in the open, then he turned around, shifted his shorts, and yep, a Baby Ruth dropped out right on the concrete! He was definitely old enough to know better, but maybe couldn't find the bathroom?

 

[anewmac]

yeah all caught up. So glad Sean and the rest of the family is having a great time. OMG food looks great but I have never read a bad meal in your trip report! Cant wait to see what more comes!!!

 

[meggiebeth]

Yachtsman Steakhouse looks heavenly. We'll have to try that during our next trip. Your photos of the pool are great- makes me want to stay at BC so badly!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Hey Ellen!!! Okay, so I found ONE of your TRs! So far, so GREAT!! Love how wonderful Sean has been on this trip! It's so amazing that he's eating new things! I remember your last trip with Sean, I don't think he ate ANYTHING except french fries. Yayyyyy Sean!

Hi everyone! Sorry I have been MIA- I went to Punta Cana last week with girlfriends, and tomorrow I leave for Riviera Maya in Mexico with Pods! Anyway, I just had to say.....

I am so EXCITED!!!!! I just booked Aulani for August!!!!!!!!!

I have been stressing soooooooo much over this, because we were using points at the 7 month window in the summer, when there might be higher demand- I had already booked our airfare via mileage points, and already booked 4 nights in Kauai pre- Aulani, so it was a missing piece of the Hawaii puzzle that i REALLY needed to fit. I used the online booking, which for DVC JUST began on the 19th, and THAT combined with having to book 2 days first with one contract and then 4 days 2 days later with my other contract REALLY made it stressful.

But we're REALLY GOING!!!!!! YIPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway....here are a few pics from last week in Punta Cana. We stayed at Majestic Elegance which REALLY gives you a bang for your buck- beautiful accomodations, lots of restaurants to try, GORGEOUS beach that was not too crowded (especially to a few others we saw). The staff were was excellent- they were all so friendly and helpful! Four nights cost LESS than the flight, and that was all inclusive- drinks and food. We went to celebrate my friend Fiona's 50th Bday- what a great time we had! We would all definitely go back. Here's a few pics-

See you when we get back!!

Congratulations on scoring Aulani!!!!!! ​

Have a fun trip! Safe travels and I hope we'll see some photos too!

 

[Flossbolna]

Have a great trip Ellen!

I have played around a bit with the new online booking and it looks great! I am glad that it worked out for you! I might try to score a studio at the Villas at the Grand Californian at the 7 months window for September and am rather nervous about it...
