Hi. I'm new here. Well, not new. I've been watching you all for over a year. Freaked out? Don't be. I'm (relatively) harmless. I discovered the DIS while planning our Disney trip last spring, and was immediately hooked on the dining board. Because, you see, I love to eat. I like everything about food--shopping for it, cooking it, making reservations for it. And I love Disney. What better thing than telling a bunch of like minded people all about the Disney meals I eat??
So here I am, coming out of the kitchen closet, if you will. My DD, her BF and I are planning a return visit right at the beginning of 2013, because we had such a good time last March. Who are this 'we'?
Me- Joyce. I'm a, ahem, mature woman, who basically is still 15 in her mind. I've lived lots of places (now in the Chicago suburbs), but particularly Southern California during junior high and high school. Disneyland looms large in my legend. My beloved choir teacher was a Dapper Dan at D-Land, so we got to sing lots and lots at holiday events. My friends and I could hang out there for hours (mind you, this was when you paid for rides and got in for practically nothing). We liked to dance to the big bands at the Carnation Plaza Gardens, make out on the Monsanto Adventure Thru Inner Space ride, eat popcorn and corn dogs--and ultimately go to Grad Night. Let's just say I know the Magic Kingdom at WDW like the back of my hand. Food wise, I'll try anything, but you must know I still miss the tamales at Casa de Fritos. Trip number 6 to the World for me.
DD- Katy, 22. Perhaps the funniest, wiser person I know. She's studying to be a church worker, but still can bring the snark (hence the title). I weaned her on "Sing Along Songs", so she loves her some Disney. She has very definite ideas of what she wants to do and what she'll eat. She's somewhat adventurous, and wants to "Drink Around the World" this time. Knowing her, she'll be done by her second fun cocktail. Third trip to WDW.
DD's BF- David, 19 (yes, it's a May/December relationship). A sweet kid. Goes along with everything. We call him our "Disney Magnet" because cast members always hone in on him. It might be his wild hair and beard, it might be his sunny disposition. We went to Monsters Inc Laugh Floor three times and he got picked on every single time. David is a burger/beef/fries guy. I've never seen him eat a vegetable. Or a fruit (no, wait, he likes pineapple). Or beans. "Star Wars" freak, second trip to WDW.
This is the second trip for the three of us. Last year we stayed offsite, rented a car, and went to Universal for two days. This time, we're staying onsite and going DDP. I, for one, am excited beyond belief!
I'd love to tell you where we're staying and when, but right when I thought I had Jan 1-8 booked at Little Mermaid, the Disney Visa Rewards promo came out. LM is not included, and the promo starts on the 2nd. So things are up in the air until my travel agent crunches some numbers.
Likewise, my ADRs/counter service meals are up in the air. I play with them daily, it seems. So far, we're eating at (in no particular order):
-The Plaza Inn
-Les Chefs de France
-'50s Prime Time Cafe (this stays, no matter what. This was "Sparky"'s (aka David) favorite place. He didn't even mind drinking his bottomless Coke from a pitcher and strung together straws.
-1900 Park Fare (it was dinner last trip, breakfast this time)
-O'hana
-Sci-Fi Dine-In
-Le Cellier
-Wolfgang Puck Express
-Earl of Sandwich
-Be Our Guest (lunch)
Everything's new except for Prime Time and 1900 Park Fare.
And there you have it. I'll update with pictures, etc once I get my travel plans more...concrete.
If you have any suggestions or secrets or slushies to share with me, bring it on!!!
