plua I'm too lazy to write a TR myself...thanks for letting me relive my experiences through you.
I'm amazed how much you guys fit in 4 days.....Thanks again for sharing....one thing, we were at WDW the last week of June....We stayed our first night of trip at POP before moving over to SSR.....I didn't know they had frozen cokes..dang it......we are going again for the week of thankgiving and I'm looking for the frozen cokes....can't believe I missed that......I also like the rum idea..... Got to go grab a cold one 
sit on the deck and plan my next trip.........looking forward to more......
Thanks for posting another fun installment!
she also loves the pictures
the only thing is she said, Ray could use a Florida Gator hat....I reminded her do not mess with a man and his hat....can't wait for more...........
Lots of classic lines in this one!
He said he was sorry, scooter nazi!
Coat sir is to plastic ring dome ducks!
Was his mouth full of cotton? English as a second language, perhaps! Either way I'm glad you made sense of it because I know I couldn't have.
And I vote freaky-stalker-with-an-AP on the faux hawk guy!Did Prince Phillip acknowledge him in any way?
Don't you LOVE Kona? I've booked it twice for the Sept. trip! It's that good!
Is your trip over already???
I'm taking a break for a while as I haven't lost any weight and keeping up with all my subbed threads takes ages
Wow short lines again!
Hey I always wanted one of those
Good job you weren't in Epcots World Showcase
Weird
OMG that's so what I'm ordering
I hate when I think of some zinger and then don't say it. Usually I don't think of it until the fact, though!
Thanks so much for including the videos! I got goosebumps when Mickey told Minnie she was his princess!
That almost landed Diet Pepsi on my monitor!
Mmmm, can't wait to try the Lapu Lapu!
Thanks for the great chapter. Can't wait to hear about your dream!
Denise
and definitely try the lapu lapu. it's kinda pricey, but worth every penny!you are such a great storyteller....we've been there and done that but it's so much more interesting from your perspective...
Great to see another post........miss ya where you been....anyway great pictures and love the last report...even with the birds
Oh my! Prince Phillip has a stalker!! Too funny. Oh, I also love the pink LeClick comment. I remember those!!! I always hear great things about the Lapu Lapu. Sounds so yummy.
Hey! I got the wife to look at your trip report and she loves it......she about lost it with the Prince.....too funny
needless to say, i was a very happy girl when vandy beat georgia last year. i wore a vandy shirt for halloween and whenever anyone asked me what i was i said, "'i'm a winner!" the georgia bulldog fans around here were NOT happy with me! we live literally 25 miles from athens, so we're in bulldog country. you can smell the dog poop around here!!!!!
on the way out we ran into another grouch! I KNOW!!!! what is it with people being mean at the happiest place on earth????? this lady was in a scooter and ray accidentally *almost* ran into her. now you have to take into account this happened right outside tink's treasures so the castle is right there and when there's a big honkin castle in front of you, you might be a tad bit distracted and not paying attention where you're going. anyway, ray almost ran into her, but DIDN'T and said, "oh, i'm sorry" when he did it. the woman scowled at him, then looked at her husband and said, "see what i mean???"
Now where is that tag fairy??? that is hysterical.
the frozen cokes rocked the house! i'm staying at OKW when i go with a friend in september and SSR when DH and i go back in april and i'm so disappointed that we're gonna miss out on the frozen cokes! by the way, how did you like SSR? it looks beautiful......i can't wait!
actually, i'm not offended at all by the florida gator statement. i'm not a huge UT fan...we're both from tennessee and i was brought up in a vandy househould (we're gluttons for punishment!). anyway, i'm not really a gator fan, but i do immensely enjoy it any time georgia gets beat and florida tends to do that a lot! any day where there's a good bulldog beating is a good day in my book, no matter who it is that's doing the beating!
) then on Sunday check-in to SSR for the rest of the week.. Never stayed at OKW so you will have tell me what you think?....We hope stay there in the future......
i don't understand why people don't teach their kids that losing is sometimes a part of life and you should learn to accept graciously. ever hear of good sportsmanship??? it drives me nuts!
i'm actually not a DVC member......just got really lucky and i'm staying for free with one at OKW in september, then we rented points for SSR in april. 5 nights for $650....
that's exactly how most (not all!) georgia fans are. it's perfectly fine to have spirit and support your team, but they act like it's just the end of the world when they lose.....such sore losers! on halloween when i was wearing my vandy shirt i was giving candy out to this little girl and she said, "you like vandy????" with this awful scowl on her face. i said, "yes. i'm from nashville and that's where vandy is, so i grew up being a vandy fan." and i said it in a super kid-friendly tone. she just rolled her eyes and said, "we don't like them. they beat georgia and it wasn't fair." um......exactly what was unfair about it and who told you that????? and the worst part is her mother is behind her just making this awful face at me and rolling her eyes. way to set an example for your kids!!!
I'm so glad we booked the dinner!
okay, so i made a reference to prince phillip's boyfriend earlier. let me explain. there was a guy sitting a few feet in front of us that knew EVERY dance move and EVERY word to every song in the show. i'm thinking maybe he was a CM there on his day off??? here's a video of him doing some of the dance moves. he's in the lower righthand side of the screen wearing a grey sleaveless shirt and he has a faux-hawk.
now the reason i think he may be either really good friends with prince phillip or romantically involved is because every time prince phillip would come out or come near him, he would scream and wave to him. if you listen closely in the video below, you can hear him yell during prince phillip's solo. the little girl in the blue hat and the little girl in the white hat both turn to him because he was yelling so loudly! by the way, when i downloaded this i let it run through the sweetest part of the show.....where mickey asks minnie to dance and she says she can't because she's not a princess and he says, "gee, minnie, you've always been a princess to me!" sigh....
i wish ray would've known to keep him in the shot more. he was so cute! i was cracking up at him the entire time.....
after the show was over it was around 5:00 and we had a 5:30 ADR at kona cafe, so we headed towards the exit. we opted for the monorail to get to the poly.
the ride was uneventful except for ray commenting on the wilderness lodge and wanting to stay there next time and some guy next to us saying in response, "you dont....day bear....coat sir is to plastic ring dome ducks." HUH????i swear that's what it sounded like he said. he repeated himself several times before i understood him to say, "you don't want to stay there because the boat service to magic kingdom sucks." oh, okay. thanks!
i'm thinking that alcohol or some very heavy medication played a part in that miscommunication!
we made it to the poly around 5:15. i love this resort......so pretty! someday we'll stay here!!! we checked in at kona and the hostess gave us a beeper and told us it would be just a few minutes. i took some pics while we waited....
we took a seat in the lounge outside 'ohana's and this guy was the entertainment. he was really good!
in just a few minutes our beeper went off and we were seated. our server (ratana) greeted us promptly and did a great job - he and the server from narcoosee's (rita) tied for the best servers we had at WDW. we couldn't make a decision on our drinks, so we decided to share two of them....make sense, right?!?
ratana even brought a small glass of extra lapu lapu since he said we had a small pineapple....now *that's* service!!! both were good but the lapu lapu was the BEST alcoholic drink i've ever had!!!!! i'm still trying to perfect this one at home.
we both decided on the crab cakes for our appetizer. in the meantime, ratana brought some really good sweet bread with macadamia nut butter.....yum!
here's ray waiting for our food.....
here are our crab cakes.......so good! very different from the ones at narcoosees, but still very, very good!
for our entrees i got the char crusted filet with mashed potatoes and asparagus and ray got the beef teriyaki with mashed potatoes and broccoli.....
we shared of course and both were very good, but let me tell you....my filet was out of this world.....the best steak i had at WDW!!! yes, better than le cellier! i didn't even use my knife. it just fell apart.......YUM!!!!!
for dessert we got the banana creme brulee and the white chocolate cheesecake...
both were good but honestly we didn't even come close to finishing them because we were so full! i wanted to get some pressed pot coffee, but i decided against it because i was so stuffed.
we LOVED kona cafe....such good food and the service was excellent! i highly recommend it!
next time......nighttime at MK, i get a very small but very cute dream and wishes!!!!!!
this is one of my favorite photopass pics of the whole trip!
Great trip report!
