Just Back

Ok, so we left last Sunday, but I wasn't able to report due to a detour in our return home. But I do have a few things to report.

EE is great, but that's been said, so I'll leave it at that.

Star Wars Weekend. . .they've gotten some organization into it this year. Adding the shopping area on the Sound Stage was a great move. It makes things less hectic at Star Tours. But the line for purchasing can be a pain if you aren't careful. They need a better plan with that.

We have a new favorite restuarant at EPCOT, the Rose and Crown. The food was exceptional, and the view for IllumiNations was spectacular.

We didn't get on a ride at EPCOT, but didn't miss a thing. We saw some great street shows and loved the Flower and Garden Festival.

It was our first stay at Saratoga Springs, and even though we were only in a Suite, it was miles above the other places we've stayed.

The only down side, Tony's on Main Street. The service was horrible, and the food was not worth half of what they charged. Plus it was so loud in there, my wife and I couldn't have a conversation. Scratch that one off the list.

Other than a bad meal, the trip was a great diversion to a hectic couple of weeks.

Sounds as though you had a lovely time.

We had a great time, forgot to mention the characters we found. . .

Mickey/Donald at the Visa Rewards thing.
Goofy and Max on Main St
Tweedledee & Tweedledum at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party
Buzz in Tommorowland
Woody and Jesse by the Liberty Belle Landing
Stitch at the hat in MGM
Alice. . .same place
Various Star Wars characters (it was SWW)
Foulfellow and Gideon in Italy
And the piece de resistance. . .
Snow White and all 7 Dwarves in Germany.

Not a bad haul.

I often hear that about Tony's. Glad you'd liked EE.

I enjoyed the Flower and Garden festival........but seeing Paul Revere and the raiders made it A OKEY......we also saw Grass Roots and another group.....my mind is still mush...
Thanks for the report

Hey glad you had a good time. We ate at Tony's Early for lunch and there weren't many folks there. Now granted, it might have been because it was in January. But it was my only trip there. I thought the food for lunch was reasonably priced. Though I didn't like the dish I got, there were other things that sounded interesting. I'll try it again, but with a wary eye!

You did get to se some good characters! I'm jealous of the SSR stay - haven't stayed there yet.

Thanks again!

Blessings!

I have never eaten at Tony's ...and DH really wants to try it...maybe I can talk him out of it...

Looks like you had some great luck meeting the characters...how cool it must have been to meet Snow White and all 7 dwarves at once!!!

Thanks for your report!
