It is another beautiful day in Wisconsin! The boys have their shorts on for a 2nd day and tomorrow starts spring break.
I need a break! Sorry for the delay but I was getting a message about bandwith from photobucket and ended up buying some subscription. Anything to keep my vacation alive!
Love this review! Great pix and descriptions! Maybe one day we'll stay onsite and get
free dining. Right now we've only been to WDW a few times and we hate to sit down and eat because we're afraid we're gonna miss something-lol!
I actually think the Disney packages are pretty reasonable. I price everything out and I truly think they are - especially once you add in transportation, tickets and food. I thought about going to Universal for a few days on our last trip and staying at their hotel and that would have been a lot more pricey than Disney. When we went to Disney in 2006 we stayed at the Pop in Oct for $65 a day. Now if only we didn't have to pay for airplane tickets!
I know it's hard not to feel like you're missing out or missing a prime time to do rides when everyone else is eating. Thank goodness not everyone likes to be at park opening or uses Fast Passes - those two always save us a lot of time!
Sorry to hear that you didn't feel well after the AK, glad you were better in the morning.
The onion rings look SO good!
I felt bad that I made everyone leave DisneyQuest but I didn't know my way around that area. I'm so glad I felt better in the morning too, I feel so bad when reading how people were out the whole next day.
Those onion rings were delish! I just wish they'd give you more!!
Fab reviews, some great restaurants theres.
we're thinking of trying Tusker house, i wouldnt mind trying Yak & yeti. will show my husband the pictures and see if i can persuade him
keep up the great work.xxx
Thanks! Pictures help a lot!
Yum! I am looking forward to our ressie for Sci-Fi. That Rueben looks good and so does the mushroom swiss burger......thats gonna be a hard decision!
Mmmmm....Vanilla Coke.....I always get Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper @ Sonic!
Maybe you can talk DH into splitting each?
cant wait for more. yummmm
Thanks!
Just catching up and really enjoying your reviews. You guys look like you had great fun.
We all had fun. I'm glad that DS13 still enjoys WDW and I love that DS7 still loved the characters.
I love your reviews and awesome pictures! Your kids are cute! You gave me some good ideas for our upcoming trip too. I never realized that I could get an iced mocha for a drink at CR. Definately will do that this time! I was also having a hard time trying to figure out whether to order spinach and artichoke dip or onion rings for an appetizer at Sci-Fi. Looks like DH and I can have the dip (for 2) and I can ask for onion rings instead of fries with my burger. Duh! I wonder if there will be an upcharge for that on the DxDDP? We'll find out!
Thanks! I saw that dip for 2 - it looks yummy! That would be great if the upgrade was included on the DxDDP!
I love Si-Fi! It is a great quiet meal.
Did you make those t-shirts? Are they Star Wars themed? They look cool!
Isn't that funny so think that the giant open restaurant is such a quiet meal? We all veg, eat and stare at the big TV screen. So relaxing!
I did make the tshirts. They have a great thread at the bottom of the DIS forms in the Just For Fun area called Creative DISigns. There are people who love designing shirts, autograph cards, tip envelopes etc. They design them and then you size them to your tshirt needs, print them at home from your printer onto iron-on sheets, iron them on and enjoy your custom tshirts! I bought cheap t-shirts from Michaels. I made a ton of them for our trip in 2008 - 21 to be exact. I wonder now what the heck I was thinking! But, once you got the hang of it, it was lots of fun and I was really proud of myself.
Of all the tshirts I made, the Star Wars ones always had the most comments. Not that they weren't all cute, but Star Wars fans are something special! Usually people wanted to know where to buy them. Each letter of the name has a different character in it. I'm not sure if Dom is making new names but he has done many! Here's the link to his thread:

Heck, that's
WHY we go to Disney!!
It's not a vacation to us without good food!
Dang! My favorite sandwich is the reuben. It's on the menu. Everyone talks about it. Why is that when we went in June of 2008 our waiter SWORE that it wasn't on the menu and the best they could do was pastrami. Which was...bread and pastrami.
That stinks! I hate when you go somewhere and know what you want and it isn't there any more. I know the reuben was there in November 2008 again!
We were ALL afraid of getting yelled at by this guy. It was crazy and even my DH was annoyed and when I asked him why he wasn't swimming, he said "he'll probably yell at me for being too fat." 
We were actually not looking forward to returning to CSR's pool in fear this guy would be there again. I think someone must have said something though, because we didnt see him the rest of the week. 
He would only address my DH - he asked DH his name, used his name while explaining the DDP to him, asked him how everything was, gave him the bill, told him how generous he was. Hello, women’s lib here. It really was annoying. REALLY. 
All of the sudden I didn’t feel well. I don’t know if it was the jumping that mixed up something, or what, but we needed to leave and go back to the room NOW! The fresh air helped, but barely. While on the bus, I did some deep breathing exercises and focused on something else other than my stomach. WARNING – GROSS COMMENT: I actually focused which passenger's bag of items I could dump out the quickest if I needed the bag to throw up in. It was really that bad. 
So, I don’t know if it was the food (shrimp?) or what. Fortunately, no one else felt sick and I was fine in the morning. So, although I would be a skittish about returning soon which I’m not, I would certainly consider them in the future.
