Before we were to have our Dismeet, I was a bit worried how Bob was going to feel about meeting total strangers, especially peole that I met on he internet! So didn't tell him about the meet until we were riding the ME to CBR. Bob didn't say too much about it, so I was hoping for the best!

We arrived at the reataurant a little early, so we ordered & got a table outside on the covered patio. I kept watching for our fellow Dis. They arrived a few minute's later. Her they are ------

Tom & Karin

you may have guessed, we were dining at WPE! Another first for us!

[/FONT] Our Dismeet went very well, but how could it do otherwise when it is Karin & Tom!

As you can see by the photo, Bob was happy. He realy enjoyed meeting Tom & Karin. He's not the most social person with someone that he has just met, but he was very congenial. My resistor was actually enjoying our first Dismeet.

 

[dizneeat]

Yeah!!!!!! We enjoyed the meet as much as you did! We were very blessed to have met you too!

Tom & Karin

How wonderful to have Karin and Tom as your first Dismeet folks! I have not met them but from reading Karin's reports I certainly would like to meet them. Anyone who loves Disney and sharing their trips as much as Karin and Tom must be fun to meet with and share a meal. We also like WPE very much. I ate there solo during our last trip while Sarah (our daughter) and Rob (my spouse) were at the water parks and then I dragged them back the next night for a family dinner. It was not hard to drag them back once they tasted my leftovers.

Contiued from above!

An engineer from Mousekeeping was sent to the room & decided that we needed a lock repair. We were sent on our way with assurances that th elock would work on our return.

So the two of us headed to DTD for a very special lunch! There was to be our very first Dismeet

This was the begining of our many firsts on this trip!

I wonder if that was the room we were to tour. I forget which section we went to, but we had a key to a first floor room and it didn't work. Our leader got a mousekeeper and he said the battery was dead and they had to fix it or put a new thing on or something like that. They weren't supposed to be booking that room. But they accidently gave us that room to tour. The curtain were open, so al lwe got to do was take a peak inside that way.

Boy! That Tom and Karin really get around. I wonder if they ever had time to actually go to the parks, with all their Dis meets and WPE.
Aren't they great people!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

After we sat down & after we spotted Tom & Karin a waitress came up to us. She told us that we were going to be eating with her favorite people! That was so sweet of her, she really liked Tom & Karin!

Bob ordered the Roast Chicken with Rosemary & Garlic mashed potatoes. I had the Harvest Pizza. The Pizza was vegetarian with broclitini, squash & mozzerella cheese. Bob had an adult beverage, Bud Lite, & I had Sprite. Our desserts were Chocolate for Bob & Creme Brulee cheesecake for me.

The pizza was terrific, as you can see, I started eating before I remembered to take photos. I usually don't eat very much, but I ate 3/4ths of the pizza & Bob ate all of his meal!

WPE was out of Creme Brulee so I tried the Creme Brulee cheesecake. I didn't really care for it. I guess I will have to make a return visit to WPE to get Creme Brulee.

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Karin ordered her favorite pizza & I don't remember what Tom had ordered. You will just have to read her TTRs to find that out!

We sat for awhile chatted & got to know one another. We had to leave soon to meet up with our DIL. We figured that they should be at WDW by then. So Karin & Tom gave us a ride in the rental convertible to CBR. Of course they put the top down which was lots of fun. Our Dismeet was all too short, maybe another with Tom & Karin will be in a future visit to WDW.

Karin gave me a gift that was so nice, also totally unexpected. I will certainly put it to g

ood use. I especially like the Mickey pants tissue holder.

 

[SoonerGirl]

Sounds like a really great DISmeet!

I'm not a big fan of WPE, but to be fair, I've only eaten there once. I have a hard time turning down EoS when we're in DTD!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

I called my DIL to catch up with them & to plan the rest of the day. They had hit the ground running sincce check in. They were at the MK about to ride the Jungle Cruise. They had already ridden SM & climbed the SFR Treehouse. We decided to meet at Teppan Edo in Epcot for our 5:00 ADR.

We stayed at CBR to unpack & just chill for awhile. We had been up since 3:30am because of our early flight.

A couple of hours later we left for Epcot. After a mad dash to the WS we arrived a couple of minutes late. After a short wait we were seated. We shared our table with another couple about my age.

I ordered the filet, Bob the scallops, DIL the sword fish, Emily the chicken & Kelly the chicken. We had the menu covered.LOL Bob had his Budweiser & I went for the Kirin Beer.

Our chef was pretty funny & she did a good job catching the shrimp & making the volcano. She had a thick accent , so was a little hard to understand.

 

[Wicket's Mom]

The girls enjoyed their dinner & love the chef's antics. They had never had a meal like this. Bob was the one that really had a great time. He got to eat all of the leftovers. That way he got to sample most of the menu offerings! He did declare that his scallops were his favorite & the most tasty! My filet was meh, a tad overcooked, just not as good as my first TE visit.

It was getting late when we left TE, so we hurried to do a couple of rides. We did TT, but then DIL decided that they needed to get the GDs to bed since we will be doing EMH in the morning.

Bob & I decided to ride Soarin' before we called it a night. The crowd levels so far were pretty low, so a short wait for Soarin'.

This TR stuff is tough!!! It took me three time to type out my last posting! The stupid computer kept glitching & eating my post.

I really admire all of you that do these things. I can see how much time that it takes. I will try to wait for each of your postings with out any complaints about how slow it is between new additiions.

Now to try to get some things done around the house that need to be done!

Doris, I write everything out in word first, then add pics and copy from there. I just check if everything is correct and if the computer "eats it, I just repost.
I learned the hard way - long posts, all turned into pixie dust when I tried to post!

I LOVE your TR so far - and I will wait patiently until you post an update!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Karin, I may put it into Word if that is better. I've been so busy to post much lately. This is a busy time for us because we go to a lot of Fall festivals on the weekends.

Doris - I didn't know you were doing all these great updates. I'll be back later to check on your pictures.

I hear ya on the computer stuff - I have been having problems with photobucket and it made my update last night take three times as long. So frustrating.

That Harvest Pizza sounds delish and I can't wait to see your Teppan Edo pics! I love that place!

 

[jenseib]

I got that cute tissue holder too. I love it and it goes well inside my Disney Dooney! And I got a ride with the tip down too! Woo HOO!
Dis has been having issues this past week too. Things are going slow or not loading.

I do the same thing. I learned the hard way. And now I usually post on a few boards, so I can just copy and paste and double check!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Sorry for no updates. Things have been so busy since I have a new event coming up. I will be cooking a dinner for 20 in an historic house on Oct 22,so that means meetings, & a menu to plan.

The Dis boards have been so slow lately, especially when I want to post. I hope to get some more done Sunday.

I also fell this morning on my bum! I went to sit in a chair & as I was sitting the chair slid oput from under me. I landed flat on my back. I have a very sore bum right now.

 

[MEK]

That is such a pretty picture of Epcot and I have to say that the WPE food looks amazing. I know I commented before, but I had to say it again.

Good luck with your menu planning. It sounds like an interesting event! Will you take pictures?

 

[jenseib]

I hope your bum is on the mend!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Jen, it kept me up last night, but isn't too bad this morning. I just have to take it easy.
