Hello!
I am so sorry for my lengthy absence from the DISboards. It has been a hectic and stressful 6 months, and with a bit of luck I'll be able to tell you all why shortly. But in the meantime...We are going to Disney in 17 days!!
Welcome to my newest Dining Review! Thank you to those that have followed me since 2009 and welcome to those that are new followers! I truly appreciate that you all take the time to read my reviews
Yes....I realize that I am starting my April Dining Review BEFORE I have finished my October Dining Review BUT the October review will be completed...within the next few weeks or so...I swear....really....
ABOUT ME
I'm Meg, I'm 27 and I have done a many Dining Reports in the past, most notably Sept & Oct 2010, May 2011 as well as October 2011. I also seem to be somewhat famous for *this* picture:
At which most people go and then when they discover this is NOT Yoshi's Deluxe Platter but our insane first experience with California Grill Sushi that set us back $100 LOL. It was soooo worth it but we've never ordered that much since. Typically we stick to 2 or 3 rolls now.
This will be my 43rd trip to WDW and my 12th stay at Coronado Springs, my favorite moderate resort. I am a true foodie and I love trying new restaurants and menu items. I take pictures of everything we eat each trip and love reviewing our meals.
Favorite Park: Epcot
Favorite Rides:Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain & Soarin'

DMom
This will be DMom's 48th trip to WDW. She is punctual and easy going at the same time (She had to learn to be with my DDad and I who are both well....stubborn and perpetually late). She loves taking pictures and spending time by the pool.
Favorite Park: Epcot
Favorite Rides: Soarin & Impressions de France
Favorite Restaurants: Victoria & Alberts, California Grill, Kona Island Sushi
Favorite Snack: Champagne!
DDad
This will be DDad's 48th trip to WDW. He is as much a Disney freak as me but hides it better. His favorite part of the trip is the food and spending time at World Showcase. As mentioned above...He is stubborn and perpetually late. He also finds it fun to "challenge" me on our vacations, most often by asking me to obtain "impossible" dining reservations with less than 24 hours notice (more on that later).
SPECIAL NOTE: Considering we booked this trip yesterday, and are leaving in 17 days, ALL the dining reservations were a "challenge" lol
Favorite Park: Epcot
Favorite Rides: Pirates of the Caribbean, Soarin
Favorite Restaurants: Victoria & Albert's, California Grill, Kona Island Sushi Bar
Favorite Snack: Dole Whip
