Let's just go for a Dole Whip and leave the vomiting… er… spinning to the others.
I like the way you think!
I bet! I've never stayed... and possibly never may, but I sure do want to. It's such a gorgeous resort.
It's a beautiful resort!! And the atmosphere/vibe is just so great. We're slowly trying to check off every Disney resort as budget allows and as we find good deals, etc. But I feel like Wilderness Lodge will always keep tempting me away from other places. We almost booked it for our upcoming anniversary trip. But I'll just have to settle for visiting and eating there, which is almost as good!
No way! I love that the chef did that. Just... "Nope... wait... yes."
It was so great! Every once in a while an allergy chef just gets creative and goes out of their way, and it might just be a little thing for them, but for me it's super exciting and meaningful. I don't usually get to go to restaurants that have bottomless milkshakes and get to try my own milkshake.
I get that. I look at my notes and.... "I'm sure at the time I thought "I'll never forget that!", but..."
Long gone.
It's so easy to do...especially when it's been almost a year.
And always have a little piece of Disney with you.
Yes!
Uh, oh. What on Earth did you guys do????
Yeah, we're obviously Disney troublemakers.
Whoa. You dudes are intense!
I take my Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin very seriously.
Technically, unless you are currently enjoying one, it's always too long since your last dole whip.
How very true this is.
It's amazing how much a day of park touring will give you an appetite! I don't know how we managed to eat so much food in one trip.
More incredible is that we only put on a couple of pounds over the two weeks. I guess all those steps and all the sweating must have saved us.
There's someone else in the room! Run!!!!!
Which is why if given the choice, I'd end at Disney rather than begin there.
I definitely learned my lesson! Now if I were going to schedule any non-park activities, it would be at the beginning or in the middle, and definitely not at the end. My rationale was that I'd put it at the end of the trip because Daytona is already on our driving route back home, and so after how exhausted we'd be at the end of the trip we'd just have a day or two of relaxing at the beach to recoup. That, and I wanted to give us as much time as possible to adjust to the heat so I didn't feel like death sitting on the beach in the sun in the early days of the trip. I don't handle the heat well, especially at the beach, and I thought it would help me to be less zonked. But as true as all of those things were, they didn't take into account the strongest force of all: the post-Disney depression.
Did you make Mickey heads in the sand?
I did. And it made me feel happy and sad at the same time.
I agree. It
does feel like home.
The first time we ever went there, they even sat us in the New Brunswick section, which is the province where we both grew up. But it just feels so familiar! All the cast members feel like talking to people at home. I can only imagine how much more strongly this would apply to people who move to a new country and find a community of people from their home country. Like my step father who immigrated from Greece and immediately became heavily involved in the Greek community where he was living.
I need to do that. Also ice cream in France. I've done neither.
Me neither! If I ever get back to eating more dairy again, those are the things I want to try!
Apparently it's called Ramune, according to Su-Lynn and Google. It's a Japanese soft drink. It comes in little glass bottles with a marble trapped in the neck creating a seal, and when you open it the marble is forced down into the bottom of the bottle. I didn't try it, but Nathan thought it was nifty.
You're the second person in two days who has said that.
Mo'Rockin' forever! They were my favourite act at Epcot, by far!
Of course. You have to.
It's a rule.
What is Le Cellier really if you don't get the filet!?
That said, Nathan ordered the giant rib-eye the last time we went because he had a bigger appetite and wanted to try something more marbled, and he loved it and said he wouldn't go back to the filet! I'll stick with my perfect filet though, thanks. They've done such a nice job with our steaks the few times we've been there.
(That same trip of the rib-eye we had taken my mom and grandmother there with us, and my grandmother just ordered a poutine, and not even a very Canadian-sounding one, and I was so disappointed.)
