Last Trip? It was until we met Food & Wine -- Recap 2/12

[MEK]

Mark decided to be a little blue guy

Great hat picture!

I'm glad to hear your mom and your brother are both doing better. You are very fortunate to live near your mom so you can help with her care and you are so lucky that Mark is helping you.

Multiple cute pictures of you and Mark at Epcot. How I already miss F&W. Such a great time of year. Soarin and LWTL are two of my favorites.

Dinner at the R&C? YAY! Looking forward to reading about that.

Hi Kathy,
I am finally able to join in and get caught up. I made some notes along the way:

Great deal getting your annual pass extended a month

Sorry about Nicki’s grandmother and your mother! Hugs all around!

Congrats on your great niece!

Congrats on Mark getting a job! Thats so great for him!

$5/point… AMAZING! I LOVE Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village, I would go back there in a heartbeat! Awesome, more fastpasses how cool!!
I also really loved the Frozen Fireworks! Yummy… pina colada’s!

I had Kona pressed coffee for the first time this past trip.. yummy!! It will be a must do from now on!

As I said on FB, that is so amazing that your friend won DW tickets and gave them to you! Heart warming!!

I had dole whip for the first time this trip and I didn’t mind it, but I would not stand in a long line for it again. There are many other treats that I would rather have. Jungle Cruise at night is pretty cool, makes it a different experience.

Congrats on booking your trips for next year!

Great pictures!! Love the one of Mark in front of Gaston’s fountain

We did 1900 Park Fare for supper and the character interaction was not the best, the step mom was probably the best telling my son he was to marry her daughter tomorrow at sundown. LOL I think I am done with most character meals.

Wow! Sorry to hear about your brother.. sorry I missed that on FB! I have been working so much I haven’t been on FB much either! Sorry Kathy, prayers to you and your family!

Yes trick or treating was a very wet and cold experience! It was not snowing, but it was raining quite a bit. Happy Halloween to you too!

Thanks for sharing, again sorry I was so late! I will try my best to do better and keep caught up! All the best, hugs and prayers to you!

Great Epcot update! Your pictures have me so excited for our trip next month

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Glad to hear that your Mom and Bob are doing a bit better - hopefully that trend continues

I love all those pictures with Pluto - you both just look so happy in them

I hop at least on SSE Mark didn't choose "Deutsche" as one of his selections

Sorry they didn't have the F&WF mug ... I hate when they don't have things like that - I mean, at least make it easy to take money from us!

 

[natebenma]

Just read up on your Park Faire breakfast. Sorry it was just meh. The food looked good, but it doesn't sound like the interaction was all that great.

Your pictures of the Grand Floridian are very pretty.

I have actually never been in there. The closest I have come is the resort monorail passing by.

That is so sweet!!!

More great animal pictures, both from your balcony and the walk back from the pool.

That would be the coolest part for me of staying at AKL.

 

[disneyshakeygirl]

I love your photos of the giraffes. They are lovely.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Great pics! I bet you were glad you stopped to see Pluto and to check on Pooh and Tigger!

I've never done Mission Space either. I think it would be too much for me.

We have done the 1900 PF dinner - the food was decent, but any lacking in the food was MORE than made up for with the characters. Those stepsisters and mother are HYSTERICAL! Haven't done breakfast yet.

Glad to hear there is some improvement for your mom and brother's health situations. Hoping and praying for more!
Your hubby is AWESOME!!!!

 

[IheartDDuck]

I'm glad to hear that at least everyone is doing a little better. Sometimes it's not much of a consolation, but it helps the family around to regain a little bit of footing when there is some stabilization.

Mouse Gears is my favorite store to browse I think. I get sucked in there every time, even more so than at the Magic Kingdom!

We enjoy making random selections on Spaceship Earth sometimes. You should try listening to it in another language. Makes for a good time. Makes for an even BETTER time if you listen to it in another language and you're inebriated.

 

[KatMark]

Just stopping by to ask you to keep Joe, Amanda and their daughter Mira in your prayers. Joe is the young man I told you about earlier...Andy's friend. As Amanda posted on her blog today, they moved Joe to a hospice house tonight and that loving someone sometimes means letting go. My heart is breaking for thse young people.

 

[Gracefulskinny]

So apparently I am now loosing my mind...

I could have sworn that I had already read through and commented. I think in the craziness of Halloween I must have forgotten.

Love the Stitch hat.

You are not alone on the avoiding Mission Space at All Costs front. I too refuse to go on it.

So glad to hear that your family is starting to do better. I will keep you all in my prayers.

We too had a cold wet Halloween. Though it didn't stop our fun. Such a busy weekend I feel wiped. Hope you got a bit more rest then I did.

 

[MissMaryQC]

Great update! Looks like your Epcot afternoon was quite a success!!

Love the Stitch gear; that little blue alien is a favorite of mine. I'd say Mark does him justice ::rofl::

I haven't been on Soarin' in many years; I spend most of my Epcot time in the World Showcase.

A scotch flight, sounds like something I'd thoroughly enjoy!

Keeping you, your friends and family in my good thoughts :

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hi Kathy! I'm glad to hear your brother is improving. Hope he gets to go home today. It's nice to hear your mom is doing better, too.

I was so confused when I saw the title about Epcot and then the first thing that loaded was zebra pics! What a cute little nook to meet Tigger and Pooh! Soarin' never gets old for me, either, even if the screen is looking old. I wonder why they don't do a reburb? Hope you have a good Monday.

So heartbreaking. I will be praying for them also.

 

[Chicago Mo]

You have an amazing update i just adore the baby zebra! Of Course the hat pictures takes the cakes. Epcot you look odd without a poncho?!?! I thought that was a must? Honestly i LOVE your shirt!!!
the Pluto picture is awesome!

Glad to see your Brother and Mother are doing a bit better.. Yet sorry to hear about your friend.

Always in my thoughts and prayers..

 

[Luanne12]

Oh Man! I love the food and wine festival. Great times. Love the Concerts.

 

[ddstratton]

Very nice Epcot update. Loving all the pictures!

 

[dekkerdisneydreamer]

Hello my dear! I'm glad to hear that your mom and brother are stable for now. And a steak dinner for Mark sounds heavenly. It's well deserved, for sure!

I look forward to Mark's hat pictures in every update. They bring a delighted smile to my face. Every time.

Pooh and Tigger cannot be missed! I've never had a bad interaction with the two of them. Love it!

 

[Pluto0809]

Glad to hear that your Mom is doing OK and that your brother is improving. I hope things continue to look better for you.

Beautiful shots of the zebras. I really need to stay at that resort someday.

PLUTO!!!

Yeah for Soarin'! I'm about ready for the new film that is rumored to be coming just so that those spots go away.

I saw Jim's chickens!

I know where you are eating dinner at.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Kathy, I've been constantly praying for your mother, brother and for you. I hope that your brother continues to improve and that your mother stays as pain free as possible. Mark is such a sweet husband to help care for your mother. I know that John would do it for my mother. That's why we love our men so.

Your day at Epcot looks to be quite fun. Started out with drinks from Starbucks and now your on to what I am betting is a great meal.

 

[Disney9.9.10]

All caught up!

First of all, I wanted to say that I'm so sorry for all of the illness your family is dealing with. Cancer is so awful. Lots of hugs to you in this difficult time

Congratulations to Mark on his new job! Part time sounds perfect!

And great news about having some trips in the works, and seeing Nicki and Todd!

What a great night you had at MK! So many classic attractions Great photos too! My TA was recently in WDW and also felt that the 7DMT was far too short, especially for the posted wait times. She was quite disappointed.

I'm sorry that 1900 PF wasn't better for you. We went in 2010, and while it isn't my favourite, we enjoyed ourselves. But the GF is my all time favourite resort!! It makes me sad that Mark doesn't like it much - but I completely understand why, I've felt that vibe in there myself at times.

Also, I love that you have a little stuffy that looks like Cookie! So sweet.
