Here we go again, with live updates, Photopass pics added post #735

Morning all!

Great pics as usual. Shame about the change in menu at Tutto Italia, though we decided not to go this year, because of my allergy to rosemary. There was only one thing on the menu I could have last year, the sole; (lucky I eat fish!), and I couldn't even have the veggies!!
We are hopefully planning to try Via Italia. Is that on your list Wayne? I'm sure a few of us on the boards would be interested to hear your thoughts on it (Pooh's-Honey-pot springs to mind! )
What did you all have at CHH? It must've been good! It's not often that you all choose the same

oooo, Captains Grill looks yummy, I might change one of my others for that. I have Captains Grill booked for breakfast for the day we are going to HRH and HPW, so I was going to cancel it. I really think I need to update to the delux dining plan and then I can try them all LOL.

Tutto looks really nice.

Have a great day - loving all the food porn

Wow - just read the entire thread - we still have one reservation free to book and am so tempted by Teppan Edo now - will have to show my husband the video.

Nothing like a live updates thread with pictures to get you excited!!

More great photos and updates, Wayne!

Columbia Harbour House pics made me hungry - it's my fave theme park CS! Plus you'll get to go there again for KTTK. I hope you enjoy it, we did, although I found most of the other people asked questions I knew the answers to. I made sure I asked plenty myself though, and so did Carl!

Our case is now packed - can hardly believe I get everything into a case within a case! Just need to check the weight but I can lift it so it can't be that heavy. Tell that rain by Sunday I only want to be seeing it in 20 minute burst, once or twice a day, alright?!

Thanks for another great update, Wayne. I hate the way all the good stuff is disappearing from the menus because of the Dining Plan. I was looking forward to the lamb at Tutto Italia. I also found in April that WPE no longer include salad with the main pasta dishes -annoying as we never do the DP and have to pay extra for these things.

Looks like I may have to rethink our reservation here then - my DD can't stand anything with rosemary. It seems that everywhere we go in the USA they have to add either rosemary or cinnamon (and they don't tell you until its too late!)

fish & chicken nugget combo but next time I will have shrimp I saw others getting it and it looked good.

Hope we are over the worst and see more sunshine now, if it rains on DISmeet evening we will all have to goto Mart's place he has the biggest room.

Do you think that room will be big enough?
I hear they are putting a coach on from DTD

i know, and though I'm not allergic to it, I really don't like cinnamon!
The other place that uses alot of Rosemary is the Tusker House. The chef took me around the buffet, and there was hardly anything I could eat. Also the food in Morroco. I had to send back a dish in the restaurant because I saw the rosemary. In the CS my DD ordered the meatballs, but didn't like them so took my chicken. bad move for me as the meatballs had rosemary in them

Gosh, I need to get organised, I haven't packed yet and we leave Saturday and I'm at work tomorrow. Spending too much time reading Wayne's updates.

I'm hoping the heavy rains will be over too by Ssaturday afternoon, when we arrive.

Lol - it's great because Wayne always seems to leave just before us so it helps with the anticipation!

We go up to Heathrow on Saturday and fly Sunday morning

Can recommend the fried shrimp at CHH - big portion and v nice - comes with coleslaw and fries.

Hope it stops raining for the DIS meet.

More wifi so can catch up, seems you're having a good time as we are, and the wearer is picking up at last!!

Still trying to arrange to come to OKW for the party tomorrow so hopefully see you then

Matt & Hannah with the staff, Claudio was very funny, asked for $10 for taking our pics, said he liked Matts camera so ran off with it. Nice to have some Cast members with his sense of humour like his.

Does anyone else think the meat looks like it has an eye on the left

I think the photo with the staff is great. CM's are definitely one of the best attractions at WDW

It looked like a steak to me until I read your post. Now it looks like a fish Darn, you just ruined it!

Hope you get here Luke.
Mart and family checked in today, saw them outside HH waiting for their room to be prepared.

Went into HS today for opening, very busy all morning.
Just a small shower today so hope its getting back to good weather.
Garden Grill at Epcot tonight.

That is what I mean. I can't look at it and think of meat either

Hi Luke

Can you let us know where the free wifi spots are that you have hooked up to so far?
Found one today in Earl of Sandwich DTD - also Innoventions EPCOT - near to IBM area,

Karen says Wayne is like a kid with a new toy - phone out, checking for wifi signal

 

[fairytale]

Oh I am so jealous of you all, so many of you seem to be jetting out within the next week and having had to cancel our October trip this year I'm still 14 months off.

Excellent trip report as usual Wayne, thank you

Just rembered Jules asked if we were doing Via Italia, not on our list. We don't eat pizza much. Don't mind the odd slice but not something we have for a meal.

Too tired to post last night, it was a long day. HS for opening, meal in Epcot and ending in MK with parade and fireworks.
We decided we prefer Spectro Magic but Summer Nightastic! fireworks were brilliant.

Yesterdays food.
Lunch at Backlot Express, took a while to find a table(really busy in HS yesterday) so didn't take pics, just got one of the cheesecake I had, another good one.

Evening meal, wasn't sure about Garden Grill after mixed reviews but we all really liked it, good character interaction, service and food. Dessert was superb strawberry & rhubard crisp with vanilla sauce.

Both Chip & Dale said how tall Matt was, Chip stood on seat to be taller.

I love sweet potato fries which were on the menu.

2nd plate of meat(didn't get anymore fish, meat was too good) which was even nicer then the 1st.

server brought us a piece of celebration choc cake for our anniversary.

Just going to get ready for our only breakfast this trip, Ohana.
