Alaska sounds so exciting!!!!!
I know! Too bad I have to wait 434 days
Glad you're back. Great update!
Thanks!
Yeah Shannon I'm all caught up. I don't mind your flower pictures at all because I love going to the Flower and Garden festival. I have been twice (the last time being April 10). I think I took a lot of pictures of the flowers too.
So glad you're booked for Alaska, that's a dream of DH, he's a fisherman so he's going for the salmon, me I'm going for the beauty.
I hope you do a little TR for the Vero Beach trip, always wanted to go there too.
I wasn't uber-excited about Alaska, but its my mom's trip, not mine. But...now that I am doing research, I am really excited. It looks amazing - and completely different than Florida
Who knows? I will probably still be working on this bad boy so if I am I will definitely post a review and some pics of Vero Beach!
Yay for all of the trips!!!!
I can't wait to hear about Vero and then I'll get to go!!!!
Your food at Italy sounds good! I'm very picky when it comes to pizza and sauce..yucky! I'll have to try it sometime though!
I love having trips and fun places to look forward to! I don't like pizza with tons of sauce and I also don't like tons of sauce on my pasta either, but the I
the marinara at VN. I wanted to dip my crust in the leftover from our appetizers but they took it away
The pizza was similar to Dean Anthony's if you have one of those up by you.
Ohhh an Alaskan cruise...pure delight in my mind! You must spend a few days in Vancouver, it is a beautiful city!
We loved Via Napoli too....I think next trip I'm going to try the pizza...sounds so yummy and so does that dessert you had!
I love the birdbath your mom got
Any tips you could give us as far as hotels, attractions, restaurants? We haven't even thought about that part of the trip yet but I'm thinking we will only be staying for like 2 nights (2 full days).
Great Update! So looking forward to a dining review. I've had some food at Epcot in Italy it was fantastic but it was on Italy Isola so I need to figure out where it came from. Definitely need to check out Via Napoli since I've taken some new interest into pasta dishes (Yum!) I love your pictures of the Flower and Garden Festival, especially the Lotso one
. And to top it all off you add in about Spaceship Earth one of my favs and its an obscure ride. I think on my first trip it was one ride that I went on the most. My mom, my sister and I would get off, send the postcard and run on AGAIN! It was awesome. Definitely glad to see someone else appreciates this new version.
Can't wait to hear about more of your adventures in Epcot (and hopefully other places LOL)!
And just out of curiosity, I also noticed that you said your birthday is in May. My birthday's in May too
What day? And I hope you have fun on your cruise next year!
I loved the old Spaceship Earth, but this new addition makes the ride down a little more fun (and lessens my anxiety that the cars will come off the track and I will come crashing down the tracks
My birthday is May 26th - always around Memorial Day so I always get a 3-day weekend!
Hi Shannon! I am loving your trip report - sounds like you just had the best most relaxing trip. I am rather jealous of your club level upgrade. I considered it but its just out of our budget. I bet your mom was just over the top thrilled (after she finished rolling her eyes at you
)
Your photos of the F&G are great. I love the butterfly on Pooh's cheek. I am looking forward to the butterfly house with Katie.
and WHERE did your mom find that Tinkerbell bird bath?
Oh I have envy now!!!
Hope the job issue clears up for you. sounds like your wednesday teacher has something going on making her so miserable. only a few more wednesday, right?
Which cruise line are you taking for Alaska? I was just looking at Alaska cruises for next June - its 20 years for DH. I got numbers for the new
Disney cruise out of NYC but DH seemed to think that for that much $ we could just go to WDW. Don't know what we are doing but its gonna be fun!
They sold that birdbath everywhere, especially at Epcot! I actually think they sell it year round too. They do have it on the Disney merch website as well.
We are going with Princess Cruise Line. We've sailed with them before and really like it, plus they are known for their Alaska touring. Disney cruises are much more expensive than typical cruises, no matter where they go. But I still want to do one someday.
Hi! I am just joining in on your TR! I have enjoyed it so far. We were at the Flower and Garden Festival this year too and I think about 1/2 of the pictures I took on our whole trip were from our one day there.
Your resort sounds wonderful! How fun to walk in the International Gateway in the morning!
I am glad to hear that you enjoyed both of the new WS eateries. I had heard some bad reviews of Via Napoli, but you made it sound really good. Hopefully we will get there eventually.
I heard bad things about VN too, but I have no complaints and would glady eat there again! I've come to realize that the reviews here are hit or miss - and then there are people that find fault with everything.
We were going to eat at that restaurant, but it was to crowded for us. Glad to hear the food was good, maybe we will try it next time.
It was crowded when we were there as well, especially as we left.
What fun, that you're going to Alaska! It's certainly onl our list of "trips we'd like to make one day".
I love the pictures of the topiaries that you shared! I have never really wanted to go during the garden festivals, but now that I see how beautiful Epcto is (my fave park at WDW) I might have to set up a trip in the spring next year!
Ireland was our first "must do Wish" trip, and Alaska was number 2 as far as the biggies. The topiaries really are amazing and beautiful, but we didn't do any of the special seminars. It must be a gardener's dream!
