Hi wayne and family looks like you are all having a fab time thanks for pictures and reviews , really look forward to waking up and seeing all your pictures!!
Can I ask at the Grand Floridan tea do you have a choice of sandwiches ? none of us like fishy stuff so just wondered if these can be subbed . thanks

Hi,
We went last year, and DH and I had the Buckingham Palace tea. DH loved the sarnies, there were 4 quarters, very petite, different fillings and breads. Personally, I wasn't that impressed, I remember one was watercress, and I think egg? I actually prefered the kids selection, but that included tuna, so wouldn't suit you! I'm sure you could ask.
We are going again this year though because we all enjoyed it! Just maybe a bit more selective!
Wayne and co didn't have the pastries which were lovely. I will sort some piccies!

yip it mentions the choices but not sure if thats one of each type thing or you would choose what you want. I would really like to do the tea but don't think can convince dh and boys.

Here are some photos:-

Yachtsman Steakhouse, Hoop De Doo... you're whizzing through the TS credits - do you have a secret supply?

Drinks around the world evening and 2 pool party evenings with using only CS credits so that left us 3 TS over, Hoop, Yachtsman and Ohana breakfast.

Up at 6 this morning to get ready for Keys to the Kingdom tour at 8:30

i thought character breakfasts are only 1 TS credit...

Yes but it was in addition to our evening meals, we needed 3 spare credits for a breakfast, a signature and Hoop.

Thanx Jules you're a star !!

I would eat the tuna but no one else would, I would love to do this , might just do it myself for a break !!!

oh, i'm slow!!

you know i think that using two TS credits on Hoop is really good value for money....i remember it costing a lot of money...way more than i thought it was worth...but it would be worth two TS credits!! something to consider if we get there for free dining..

What a geat night we had last night at hoop, havent laughed so much for ages, Nige's first attempt to fall of the bus was hilarious. Really enjoyed the show but im sure the fact we had a great server and great company made a big difference

I dont expect Nigel will be on here very early to defend himself, lets just say disney didnt make to much profit from his 2 t\s credits, Between him and Karen a substantial amount of wine was consumed

Roll on next year, cant wait to do it all again

Hi Wayne and family you have just made a very wet day in Cornwall so much better.
So glad you are all having a brilliant time we are looking at going again in 2011 Have never done the DD but was pricing next year staying at SS with Dining and we so want to do it just crossing everything that similiar offers will be around in August 2012.
Do you base tips on what the meal would have cost if you had paid for it?
Can't wait to pick your brain on your return continue with making amazing memories and thankyou so much for taking the time to share them with us.

Our reciept for 3 had a value of $179 incl tip and all you can drink for about 90 mins, server last night was in top form, 2 drinks at once or another on the table before we finished one. Best server we have had in 3 visits.
Our total bill last night for all 3 families (12 ad & 1 ch)was $711 incl $95 tip. all covered by 26 credits

Long time since I laughed so much, fantastic night. Hope we get to do it again next year.

I would never ever go into a drinking comp with Karen. Drink me under the table any day. Wine is not her drink, if it had been vodka your legs would give way before hers. Most anoying thing is she never gets an hangover.

Do you think she would be so kind as to PM me the secret?

Hi Wayne

Great updates - so pleased to read about the GF tea as myself and DD are doing that during our stay.

How is your weather now? Has the majority of the rain eased off???

I haven't found out after knowing her about 25 years,

Hi Wayne

Hope you enjoy GF as much as we did.
weather is back to very hot and no/little rain last 2-3 days, downpour at lunchtime then just a little downpour on our way to Hoop late yesterday afternoon. Temps are crazy, car said 99oF today, even when we came out of HS at 10pm it said 93oF. sweat pouring off us thru Fantasmic.

A few more pics, yesterday ate at Pop Century food court, never been before. We didn't enjoy All Star Movies a few years back and wouldn't enjoy Pop, it was so busy, values are just not for us.

This was supposed to be chick parm, never seen chicken parm it was chicken salad.

Had a wander around the resort.

End of a great evening

Back at OKW bus stop.

 

[Dollyrar]

Looks like you guys had a right laugh! I've been thinking about trying the Hoop for a giggle. What was your verdict of the show itself?

 

[Linda67]

Another great update - thanks Wayne

What were your seats like, did you have a good view ?
