Hi Wayne and family. We returned to the UK yesterday after 21 wonderful days at WDW. It was great to meet you and all the other DISers on August 13th. We really enjoyed ourselves. Congratulate Matt (Rick Astley) on his tremendous GCSE results. I am feeling depressed. I have just weighed myself and I put on about 10 pounds. and we didn't use 17 of our CS credits.Enjoy the rest of your holiday. It is raining as I write this and it's forecast to rain for the rest of the day.Bring on 2011.

Yes, they add it to you food bill so tip is expected.

I have ordered a special mickey mouse cake $135 - not happy to pay $24 tip when they just bring it out though - oh well

Especially when you think that the dinner will be around $30 tip on its own!

Doesn't stop us doing anything except sunbathe. Have brollies if it gets really bad, yesterday in AK just got a little wet.

As with all tips, its upto you. Don't be pressured into anything you feel its not worth, Mickey cake was $48+ tax, I was happy to leave $8, not sure I would tip much more for an expensive cake.

Amazes me how you can see anyone you know out here. Great to see you again.

Wow, that's £88!! No offence but no way would I pay that for a cake (although I do love Disney cake LOL).

(although I do love Disney cake LOL).

But not THAT much? I wouldn't spend that, BUT for a special occasion/celebration it is worth a splash out on a nice cake. I just don't have enough people to share it with

Hi Wayne and family, just spent an hour catching up with this as we are now home, was great to meet up with you on the 9th, albeit for only a short time, and have evidence of you in a Dibb meet lanyard, about 100 showed up in the end, the bar tender insisted upon a certificate and a lanyard when we were all still there some 2 hours later!

sounds as if you're having a fantastic time, with lots of good meals thrown in for good measure, we too had great meals at Captains grille and Grand Floridian Cafe.

And what fantastic results, Matt! very well done

Hi Ruth, glad your meet went well, shame we couldn't stay longer, caught up with Karen(welshwiz) at our meet, she was in the bar.

Tonight ate at 50's Prime time cafe. Good server, made us set the table and put a napkin on our knees. Made sure our elbows were not on the table and we ate our greens. I am sure this will be on Matt's list if we do DDP again next year, great CM/guest interaction & very well themed.

Paid for Onion rings but by end of meal wished we hadn't, ate way too much again.

Here you can have milk shake instead of soda, really it was icecream, you have to eat it with a spoon.

Matt's Pot roast, one of his best meals of the holiday, said it was really good.

Karen's Pork loin

My Chargrilled steak, not the best cut but tasty.

Onto desserts

 

[Tink2312]

50s prime time has been on our to do list every year but never got around to it yet. Glad you had a good meal.
Belated congrats to Matt - looks like you had a nice celebratory meal!

 

[amystevekai&bump]

I think its 2 days notice you give, you can order a regular round cake at any podium on arrival for $21 but for the Mickey cake or any other shape you need to ring in advance, plenty of pics in the thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2413710&highlight=cake+pictures

thanks for the link Wayne Those cakes sure look good - may have to order one for Christmas... for no reason...just because!!!....

thanks again

 

[Linda67]

You food looks delicious, I am hearing a lot of good things about the GFCafe

The cake looks too good to eat

 

[dixonsontour]

Thanks for the update

 

[igk]

Prime Time looks fun! The theming looks much better than I had imagined - I'd never really considered it before...

 

[PoppyAnna]

prime time looks fab, that pot roast looks super yummy Might have to give it a go next year

 

[Racey]

Call me silly, but as i've never been to 50's PT i have a question.......

Those things your looking into just after you wrote "Onto Desserts" - what are they? are they the dessert menu's?

and what are they called? I've asked everyone in my office and noone can remember????

 

[Shazzie B]

Yes they are the dessert menus - well pictures! Can't rember what it's called sorry!
