Well we are sat on the balcony and it hasnt stopped raining for the last 2 hours! The photos from the dis meet we will all have ponchos on the way things are going - not looking good to get Wayne in the pool

All ready in my swimming shorts and doesn't look like I am going swimming, forcast same thunderstorms until 9pm then clear skys so maybe a dip later.

Just been to Port Orleans FQ for a bite to eat, very very quiet and 1 food unit closed for refurb. Is it here they were upgrading people for next month? looks like they started early never seen it so quiet.

Ye, POFQ was where we had originally booked before being offered the upgrade. If they are upgrading the food court I am glad we decided to move as the choice wasn't brilliant to start although it's not far to walk to Riverside. Hope the weather clears up soon, have a good night.

What's with this weather?!!! I've even turned on 3G now I can't get to wifi to see if we are all still gathering by the okw pool?

Not sure whats happening Luke, problem is there is not much cover at OKW pool or even an inside counter service where we can go.

 

[luke]

Rain has stopped now, skies looking clearer. At least here at SSR, wondering what OKW looks like but I imagine it's similar?

I hope the weather stays clear for you guys.

I know. How inconsiderate of them. First they leave us behind, then they torment us with food porn and sun tans, and now they shut us out!

Just a quick post, another downpour outside, hope we don't get any from 7pm for the meet.
Did Ohana breakfast, price has gone up a lot, its $24.99pp ($13.99 child)
Character interaction not as good as last night at Garden Grill, Mickey never even made it around to us. Others just a quick standard photo shoot op.
It was OK, nice sausage but bacon a waste of space, I just don't get $25 for breakfast but its something I rarely eat. Potato wedges even though were nice are just too heavy to be eating in the morning to be walking around Seaworld with.
I am sure if we get free DDP again we will do another character breakfast but they are not my cup of tea, I prefer to eat in the evenings.

can't wait to see pictures from the meet!! hope the weather was good!

on the DDP, character breakfasts are the worst value for money IMO....

when DD was on the free dining plan, she ate at the crystal palace and chef mickeys for lunch or dinner...never for breakfast...

in general, the lunch/dinner buffets are great when on the dining plan..

by the way, are you planning on eating at Boma?
i ate there for the first time in june and loved it....but i wish i'd had a larger stomach..
we experienced that don't eat dinner early because of little kids phenomenon at Boma.....
when we came in, it was about 7:30....still lots and lots of kids and very very very very noisy...
but about halfway through the meal, the kids were gone and the place was so much more pleasant..
next time i eat there, i'll purposely come much later..

 

[luke]

Well when I left near 11 everyone was still going strong...

Eaten twice at Boma, 1st time really enjoyed, 2nd time not so much but we had eaten lunch at Beaches and Cream so that proabably affected our appetite. No plans to return for now, want to try other places.

A big thank you to all who turned up last night, hope everyone enjoyed it as much as us. Also thank you to Tracy for the bottle of Champagne (and not throwing me in the pool)
With the weather I expected it being a bit of a flop but thankfully the skies cleared and turned into a hot dry evening from about 8pm.
Didn't go on too much longer after Luke left, around midnight everyone had gone.
Nice skies after the rain.

Thanks Wayne. Now I can finally go out to the shops Looks like you all had a fab time.

 

[luke]

Great pics Wayne! We had loads of fun!! Weather was perfect once that pesky rain stopped!!

What are your plans for today then? We're having a game of mini golf later, for now tho I'm back stalking wifi while Paula buys handbags in Coach

A great evening Wayne
What Wayne didn't mention was that he had previously done a group booking for 3 families at Hoop. Disney kindly took ALL of the credits off his dining plan. After all was sorted Disney credited him with $50 which he promptly put behind the bar for the DISmeet group
Thanks Wayne!

 

[luke]

Have fun at Hoop De Doo you all, now Wayne isn't in negative equity on his table service credits
