Loved the comic strips. So appropriate for this update.
Hum, you've waited over a year for a certain lunch. I wonder what it could be?
Glad you enjoyed the comics. I have more coming!!!
You may be surprised at the long-awaited lunch.
Just catching up- we got back from FL last night. First day of school today (am I a bad parent?)
Can't wait to hear about lunch! Wonder where it could be??

Hey, nothing wrong with getting the most out of summer vacation!
The lunch plans were a definite do-over for me.
Dee, love the MK photos. They really make me feel like I was just there. Last time my kids did not want to ride Pirates so that is a must this year!!!
We were bummed out that we only rode a couple of times on our one day in MK in 2011. There are some new seats and effects, so make sure you check it out.
Hi Dee!! I'm caught up! LOVE the view from your BC balcony.
What a fabulous location. I was thinking the same thing as others that you probably could have given the CL Cast Member a run for their money with extolling the attributes of YC/BC!
I relate to starting the Disney part of your vacation with a day in MK! It feels like the Disney experience officially begins with that park. Your park plans to go to the left and through Adventureland first is what they told us on a tour is counter-intuitive to most people entering the park so great job!!
Ben did a great job with his PotC photos. Heck, we had people in our boats taking flash photos of the ride which is annoying... anyone who simply has their autofocus red light on doesn't bother me! I say go right ahead!
It was a great, great, great room!!!
Mark would have given me the stink-eye if I had started rattling off BC facts!
When we visit in the afternoon, we start at Adventureland/Frontierland, especially since we would be coming back later in the week for morning extra magic hours and those lands aren't open first thing.
I was so intimidated about the photos in Pirates that I didn't take another photo I really wanted - the dog with the keys at the end of the ride. I was in perfect position, too- the correct side of the boat and we were stuck at that point, not moving, as the boats up front unloaded.
Hi Dee! We're back home and I'm all caught up!
Of course, I'm happy to see that you've "arrived" at Disney and your BC room is wonderful! Really love the BC rooms with those big windows - makes a huge difference in the light and feel of the room. And what a nice balcony - perfect for you and your morning coffee! I know you're OK with a garden view - I am too - but the surprise view upgrade is always such a treat.
Back to the Universal part of your report - laughed at the "odds ever in your favor" because our boys try to use that phrase whenever possible! And that post-confusion "unpleasantness" that results when family is attempting to reunite - that's quite familiar. It's relatively rare, but yes, I think "unpleasantness" is the best word to describe it.
Looking forward to reading more!
back!
I can't say enough about how much I loved this room. Yes, a garden view is fine, but WOWSA!!! SAB, the lagoon, the Boardwalk, the lighthouse, the Yacht Club, EVERYTHING! It was just gorgeous and a great place to enjoy my coffee!
Or whatever!
I think you may have an idea where we are headed for lunch!
Loved reading your revised strategy for MK now that fastpasses are enforced
Good to know even pirates need a little "help" to stop mother nature in her tracks
I think I know where you are heading for lunch but I'm keeping stump (just in case I'm wrong
).
Gotta run but enjoying every update as always
I didn't take pictures of all of the fast passes we got during the trip, but I love the information you can get from them. We were able to get another FP at 1:40 pm and we pulled the one for Big Thunder at 1:41. Still maximizing those times!
Lunch update coming up soon. You can let us know if you were right. We will believe you!
Just beautiful - full balcony, daybed, CL, great view 
My kids loved that ride, but after two times I was done. I just waited outside.
