May 9 part 3 Spoodles and the Cake​

So we leave our room to get to Spoodles. I think we took the AK bus then hopped onto the Boardwalk bus. If I ever want to stay at an Epcot resort, please remind me that the bus stops at like 7 resorts. LOL It took for ever to make it there.

We make it to Spoodles and have to wait maybe 10 minutes to sit down.

I decided to get my favorite drink, the Pina Colava!

The bread

For some reason I only have pics of Tyson's soup and my entree.

His soup pic was blurry but it was chicken noodle soup. It was ok but to me it tasted like celery. YUCK! Tyson loves to drink the broth of any soup. He got the kids cheese pizza. It was soo good! We ate the left overs the next morning because Tyson eats like a bird!

I got the pork loin with gnocci and spinach. OMGosh this was my fave meal of the whole trip!!! It was so good.

Tyson got cranky since he still hadn't taken a nap. So Brad took him when he finished eating. Tyson decided to wear the napkin. He told me he was pretty. BTW, my son has a thing with being pretty not handsome. I don't know why but probably because I use the word pretty way more than I say things are handsome. Lately he tries to grab my razor to shave his arm or leg. I stop him but then he shows me his arm and says, "See Tys pretty" Oh well, I guess it's fine to have a metrosexual child.

So Brad takes him outside to walk while I get the desserts to go. We both get cheesecake and Tyson get this awesome cookie to decorate. So now I have a box of cheesecake, a to go box of pizza, and a small to go box of cookie. That would be fine to carry if I didn't have to go pick up the cake! LOL

We head over to the Boardwalk Bakery, my fave place at Disney LOL. I told the girl my name and Sandy comes over, that's who I talked to on the phone to order it and emailed pics of my dress so she could match the color to the flowers on top and the mickey heads. She told me how nice I was on the phone and that it was an absolute pleasure to do this for me! She was so sweet. I asked if she would pose with the cake so I could take a pic.

I hope she doesn't mind me posting her pic.

Little did I know that this pic would be so special. It is the only pic I have of the cake actually looking good. I was already caring the other food plus now the cake in the hot bus and then changing over to the AKL bus from the MK bus. This was the cake when we got to the room.

After my initial shock at the damage I caused, I had to laugh. Poor thing slid right off the stand. But it was soooo good. If you have never had the butter cream from BB, try it next time! It is to die for. I wish I had got a huge cake so that we could eat on it all week. That thing was awesome. I just sent a thank you email to Sandy and sent her the pics. I thought she would find what happen funny because man we devoured that thing when we got back! I ordered the marble cake inside with butter cream filling inside. The cream is light not heavy like most butter cream. MMMMMMMM!

Then these guys made one of their only appearances that week. Notice the other little friend it the pic? That's right, Thumper!

And I took a pic of this before we moved the sheets.

And before we went to bed Tyson did some more of this.

Next: Mother's day at AK and dinner at Le Cellier.

MMMMMMM! That cake looks sooooo good! It was so cute! i was going to order something special for Mike and I on our anniversary, but since we did the DxDP, we really didn't need anything else so I didn't! Maybe next time!

 

[serene56]

Awesome thank you! When I post that one link how do I change the title to the chapter name instead of the address?
.

when y ou get the brackets-- take everything out between and leave the brackets

 

[stacikristine]

That cake looks AMAZING!! Sorry it slid off...but you know, it probably helped you want to devour it even more--if if was all pretty, you'd want to take your time!

 

[momofoneplustwinz]

Beautiful cake! At least it still tasted good!

My nutrisystem food arrived yesterday. So far I have liked breakfast and lunch and I'm not hungry. I space it out so that I'm eating all day. LOL Like this morning I had the NS scrambled eggs at 8:30 then an apple and a tablespoon of peanut butter at 10:30. For lunch at 12:30 I had the NS black bean tortilla soup with a salad (lettuce is a free food) 1 cup raw cauliflower, 1 cup raw mushrooms and 2 tablespoons of fat free ranch. For my dairy serving I had a 60 cal light and fit yogurt. I didn't eat all the lettuce though. I was full. I can have an afternoon snack around 4 or 5 which is a dairy or protein and a fruit. I think I'll have a half of a banana and a string cheese. I know it will eventually be difficult but right now I think I can do this.

Love reading you TR and can't wait to read more!!!

We were there May 8th-16th! The next time we are debating on whether to stay at AKL or Contemp. If my brother and his family go it will probubly be AKL as my niece is all about AK and animals. She will be in her first year of college for pre-vet. Was it a long bus ride to the other parks? That's our only concern about staying there.

Brandi- make sure you are eating enough= Eating very little can have the oppisite effects.
I went to Weight Watchers and lost 6 pounds one week- I though-- give up those snacks and I can lose more-- I gained 4 pounds that week.
Good Luck

OK first things first...........great trip report . Tyson is such a handsome baby(young man......lol). And good luck on the diet. You can do it . It does get harder the longer you are on the diet, but you have to keep your goal in mind.

 

[Disneyfan71]

Great trip report so far!!! Love the pictures of the Pina Colava....since i'm a bartender I tend to notice these things.

The Nutrisystem is pretty good..I lost about 15 pounds in two months just on that alone. But it was so expensive but well worth it. Good luck Brandi..I know you can do it

Hey! Glad you're enjoying it.

I really want to stay at the Contemp. We loved the CS and that we could walk to MK or take the monorail. The rooms are really nice at Contemp. I think we'll choose it next for our big trip. In Dec. we'll stay at a value. I don't care where. You're niece would love AKL.

You never have to wait very long for a bus. I've never waited longer than 10 minutes. However, we like to take the car when we have Tyson because it's hard to hold him, the bag and the stroller while standing up. If you have a car, just drive it's so much easier. If not then the buses are quick. You'll be fine. It's maybe a ten minute drive to MK and that's the longest ride to the parks. DTD is a 10 minute ride too.

Thanks! Yeah, I've been eating all my snacks. If I'm not hungry I choose a snack that's small. I have lots of choices on nutrisystem, like for my fruit if I'm really hungry I eat a whole small apple and if I'm not I have some apples sauce or maybe prunes (yes, I like prunes)

Hey girl! I hope you saw my message on your thread. I'm so sorry we didn't meet up but I just felt bad that day and it kept getting worse. Then I realized it was indigestion from the night before and T rex made it worse.

Thanks about the diet. I really feel I can do this!

I can't wait to read your TR.

Thanks! The pina colava is so good!! The red stuff is raspberry puree. It's very sweet and so good!

I'm trying so hard! I can tell my body is changing. I'm not as hungry and my body doesn't feel so bloated. However, everything gives me,,,well they call it the nutritoots over on the nutrisystem forum! UGHHHH!

 

[BridetobeDisney]

Beautiful cake! At least it still tasted good!

Thanks! It was so good!!!

 

[MaryAz]

Just got back, catching up. I love the view from your omm-spectacular!! Glad you enjoyed the meal at Spoodles so much. The cake was very pretty-glad it was so yummy!

 

[tinkerbell3747]

Hi!

Glad you are enjoying NS thus far, I love the PIZZAS! Cant wait for another update...

Tyson is a cutie

 

[chocaholic110]

Hi, I just wanted to say I'm enjoying your trip report so far. I'm very envious that you're close enough to be able to drive there! We have a 16 month old who also throws up when he's upset We're staying at AKL for one night at the end of our trip in August so it's nice to see your pictures.

Sorry I've been MIA. Brad signed up for the gym and they took his blood pressure. It was 180/120!!!! OMG that's high. His mom and sis have high bp and they are stick skinny so it's genetic. He's got an appt. with my internist but his mom is freaking b/c he's not going to her cardiologist. He hasn't had a physical in years so I thought he should go to an internist first.

I just want him to be ok. I don't care where he goes as long as insurance covers it. What should I do?

I know his mom is just concerned like I am. But I mean he is her son so she wants him to go to the best.

Will he be ok until his friday appt?

 

[wlwilliams9]

I know you are worried about Brad, but I'm sure he will be fine until his appointment on Friday. If there was concern by the gym or the doctor's office they would have sent him to emergency immediately. I'll keep him in my prayers!

 

[MaryAz]

Sorry to hear about Brad. I would just have hime not do anything to raise his blood presure until then. Hope everything turns out ok.

I hate to hear about Brad's BP, it does run in families. But, was it a qualified med tech or nurse who took his BP? Was it an automatic BP machine? Sometimes those things can be really off. He should see the internists first and then if they deem it necessary refer him to a cardiologist.
Tell him to watch for headaches and if he has nose bleeds he needs to get to the doctor or ER asap. If he feels lightheaded or dizzy or has any chest pain he needs to get to the ER. I don't want to scare you, just make you aware of some of the signs of severely high BP. Keep us updated and you have my phone number you can call if you have questions. I took care of adults before I became a neonatal nurse.
