For those of you on the Disney Dining Plan...if you get a "counter service" meal at The Mara can you get Zebra Domes for dessert?

Oh yes you can get Zebra Domes for dessert! You get 3 Zebra Domes and 2 of the Mouse Crunch for dessert (at least back in Ocotber you did!!).

A FANTASTIC shot from WDW Poly Princess ~ many thanks!

Oh no Angel! I'm so sorry that you lost all of your vacation and family pictures I will send you a PM on how to post pics as well

Thank you Scoutsmom, I will be so very grateful. I did tell my DH that we needed to repeat the super great cake from Jiko this trip. His answer was. "no problem, it was amazing. But this time I'm going to have it delivered on our first night so we can enjoy it the whole time we are there."

By the way for all that love Rice Crispie Mickeys - I found them in a box of 6 at Zawadi Marketplace on our visit in 2004. They were selling them individually in 2005. But Ferelpeg found them by the box for my DH this past Christmas at DownTown Disney. She was so kind as to shop and mail for me. Thank you Peggy, we just finished the last one this weekend. They are so good. Yummy.

Just another reason to return to WDW - Rice Crispy Mickey's.

I come here today with a heavy heart. My DH has been looking for our vacations pictures from 2005 since I posted this. We have lost all of our pictures for our WDW vacation! DH has looked everywhere and he thinks they were dumped when our computer took a death leap right before his heart surgery. We have not only lost WDW pictures, but also pictures of our SIL and daughter before he left for Iraq. And our trip last year to visit our other daughter, SIL, and grandchildren.
So Scoutsmom, all I can say is the cake was fantastic and worth every penny of the $40.00, which I don't think was expensive at all.

I guess we can order another one on this trip so I can get pictures for all. I am willing to make that sacrifice for the Jambo Wild Bunch After all we will be going for my birthday Seems like a pretty good reason to me for another cake. This time we will be taking my lap-top so we can download the pictures the same day.

Now I have to learn how to post pictures. extending a hand toward Scoutsmom's to accept her offer to teach me how to post pictures.

8 more days and we are dining at Boma our first night!
Hoping to try and catch the fireside storytelling too!
Does anyone know how long it lasts? I was thinking of being there and then having DH check us in to dinner...do you think the pager would work that far away?

That is a great comparison! It gets me so excited for my trip and gives a great idea of how the resort is laid out. Thanks for sharing!

 

[VAgal76]

Did someone say carrot ginger soup..african stew maybe or was that just my imagination again? Oh, geez - my mouth is watering now.

Lillygator - I don't know how what the range is on the pagers, but why don't you give them a call or just make your dining reservation earlier or later so you can do story telling without interruption. No sense in rushing around if you're just going to graze...I mean lay around.

Well I just got off the phone w/ CRO after a 40+ min phone call. I noticed on our reservation confirmation that they had special requests for the Jamaica bldg. Which we did go from AKL to CBR back to AKL so I really didn't think that much about it. Well apparently there was a problem w/ our ressie because the CM kept putting me back on hold and I just wanted to make sure they had us down for AKL and according to the website it looked like everything was intact but being overcautious I called anyway. Well the CM tells me he has a couple more things to get straightened out and I was on my cell and lost the connection. So I called back and of course had to fill in another CM turns out they had us booked for AKL and BC w/ a heck of a $$$$ bill. So they got everything fixed and the lesson I've learned is try not to change resorts once you book

Yikes, now I'm scared! We went from CSR to AKL when the AP rates came out. Our mail confirmation and Dis website say AKL. I think I did call way back when to confirm. It should be ok right?
