JAMBO! The Murphy's are LIVE from WDW & AKL 3/18-3/27

[ToyStory3]

Enjoying the trip report! We are staying CL at the GF (sugarloaf) in May. I'm still very excited but disappointed to hear about all of the cutbacks. All of the little things are adding up to not nearly the experience it used to be. I've never stayed CL at the GF or AKL but those were the 2 we were deciding between. Hope others are vocal about it too. And I hope you have a great trip overall!!!

I'm really hoping the other CLs aren't experimenting with no turndown. I think that's a mistake. I have to give a shout out to AKL because they have cleaned our room and done turn down every single day and night since I talked to housekeeping. It's been perfect!

Ohana was great!

The best bread ever:

Our waiter was insane! He was running around and cracking jokes, I swear I've never laughed so hard! He was bringing whole skewers of meat and shrimp to our table and leaving them. When I blew out my candle he kept relighting it and making me blow it out again. He was completely mental!

Nic's girlfriend and her family leave tomorrow morning. So that means Connor and I will have him back to hang with us.
We have fastpasses at the studios tomorrow and then tickets to go back to the Fork & Screen for Batman vs Superman. We can't get enough of that place!!!

Love your birthday Mickey Ears!
I never tried Ohana, I'm going to have to fix that on my next trip. Glad you had a fun Birthday!

Did you order the cake?

 

[Cotillard]

happy belated birthday! Looks like a great time

 

[TigrLvsPooh]

Did you order the cake?

This is one of the celebration cakes you don't have to order. All restaurants keep them in stock and they just add it to your bill. It was $25 and plenty to feed the 6 of us with leftovers. I have ordered from the cake hotline many times too, but they are quite a bit more expensive... usually closer to $70. I knew we'd be eating the delicious pineapple bread pudding, so this was more for the kids than the adults.

We are having a bit of a lazy day today. Rain and storms are coming soon so I'm using this time to do laundry and fill out postcards. I've got friends at MK and they met Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny. Super cute!

Have they changed the bread pudding to pineapple? It was banana when we were there in Sept! SO GOOD!!

It's a pineapple bread pudding with warm caramel banana sauce. Heavenly!!!!!!

Oh, interesting! I never noticed the pineapple in it. Normally I would be too picky to eat that but it was amazing!

We have had turndown every night here at RPC without asking. CM's have been great and plentiful. Water bottles are being given out in abundance. This is our first RPC stay, but we're veteran CL'ers and I don't notice any area that is lacking or cutback. PAS130 don't listen to this about RPC! Oh - except that we didn't get the welcome gift as reported and our clock has been removed too....

Erika - we were at HS this morning and used all our FPs and got on our bus right before storm hit. Texting service was able to get us 7DMT for tonight, so we'll see if the storm passes....

We ducked into the Launch Bay and by the time we finished we were able to walk over to Frozen sing along. Then we left. Need to regroup before Batman vs Superman.
