Glad you didn't have to get seated too early for the show and still ended up with good seats - i haven't read too many reviews just because I want to see the show for myself and make my own decisions on it.
This is what I'm doing with Happily Ever After. I haven't watched any videos; I read a couple reviews, all positive, but then I stppped because I really want to be surprised on FRIDAY when I see it in person
But yes, at least with the dining package we did fine getting there not too early. Now if we'd had the boys we'd still have had enough room but they would have been squished in there tight, so if we do end up going to watch it with them I'd definitely go earlier.
Whoops just saw the Wave update - love the personal touches except when you're visiting for the first time and get a welcome back card! LOL!
I know
It's the thought that counts!
Breakfast looks decent, I've been there before but it just doesn't seem like a must do.
I don't think I'd classify it as a "must do" - maybe for adults only. And maybe if you have older kids and are staying at the CR. It was definitely worth the trip over there and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but I'd be more inclined to go again with just Steve than when we have the boys. Not that they wouldn't like it, but because they both have other places they like and while the food was delicious I don't think there's anything else there that would "wow" them or impress them.
OMG, that all looks amazing! Girls' trip...just saying...
We're going to need a 2 week girls' trip to do everything we want to do
I need a bottomless mimosa in my life! I feel like I need an adults only trip so I can enjoy things like this more.
Bottomless Mimosas definitely work better on adults only trips!! I enjoy our trips with the boys and am looking forward to our next one, but adults only trips are so very different and so very cool
I've been reading so many great breakfast reviews for the Wave lately. Everything you had looked great and omg that parfait sounded amazing! I didn't know they made ones like that.
I had no idea until I saw the parfaits in someone's dining report not long ago and I haven't seen the same parfaits anywhere else there, but those alone make it worth the trip!
I had read nothing but good things about the Wave breakfast and tried my hardest to talk my husband into eating breakfast here last December. We were staying at the Grand Floridian and he wanted a nice breakfast. We had eaten at the GF cafe before and service was slow. But he didn't want to go to the Wave, so off to the Grand Cafe we went. Yes it was slow and his pancakes were rocks. He told me that he should have listened to me and we should have gone to the Wave.
They just never learn to listen to us
Steve is like that with a couple places that we've eaten once and he didn't particularly like and therefore doesn't want to go back, even though I'd like to.
Your breakfast looks really delicious.
It really was
I hope next time you and DH get to try it!
Yes, I imagine this will probably be my take-away from this experience, too. It is really exciting when you can experience something new at Disney
There is very little they roll out that I don't want to try, with the exception of some of the paid extras. I just like to be able to say I've done it all!
I've seen pictures of this for years, and finally saw it for myself in 2015
Great shot of you!
They must have known what you went through and knew you visited in spirit that day. Or at least Steve did
Maybe the housekeeper that insisted on coming in to the room to call her supervisor to tell her we didn't want the room cleaned right then b/c I was vomiting all over it and could she come back later like we were requesting? called the Wave and told them how horrendous I looked and they took pity on us
Great stay man, great stay.
I'm so kicking myself for missing this on our trip there. I had know idea it existed cause you know I wouldn't have missed anything that started with bottom and ended with osa!!!!!
It's like a kick in MY a## to hear that you didn't know about this. What is WRONG with the world??
I had to do a double take at the photo and see if you were sitting or if you're loud self just fell over there
I was holding myself up just fine but while out there we met a "couple" who were very close. We thought it was cute because they were like my moms age. They started a conversation with us; turns out they were brother and sister
As we walked away I did say a few choice things out loud to Steve and he did have to tell me to keep my voice down
Wave breakfast has been on my radar for a while since there are so many fabulous reviews on the board as well. I might just need to make it to solo one of the mornings during our summer trip. DS is not a huge breakfast person although he does eat breakfast and he needs a few hours to feel hungry just like Steve
You could always make it a later breakfast like we did! Hang in the room a couple hours before going, or hit a park for a little while and then head over. Of course you'll be starving lol but at least DS will be ready to eat!
I am so ready to eat as soon as I wake up just like you.
Right?? I can jump out of bed, go down to the kitchen, plop myself down and eat
