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

[LisaKeys]

I loved the updates, especially all of your photo's. You said you were going to walk to Hollywood Studio's and I thought "I hope she takes pictures along the way, and BAM, you did! ty ty! I just love your photo in front of the sign and Spaceship Earth.
Read you soon!

Finally caught up!

I was back at your EPCOT update, starting out with your fantastic pictures of the animals from the balcony.

That's a lot of beautiful zebras!

Every time I see Mark in one of those hats, I think it is the best one ever. And then...

Stitch!



Looks like a great time with Soarin', Living with the Land and Space Ship Earth. Love the pictures of the Earth and your future.

That is great that you can get pictures with both Pooh and Tigger in the UK meeting place.

We have never eaten at the Rose & Crown, either at the takeout or restaurant. The food always looks great. I would love to try the Scotch Egg.

Pretty pictures of the Boardwalk lobby and the walk to HS.

LOVE your backsack with your screen name!!!

 

[Wood Nymph]

I love the view from your table at Rose & Crown. We haven't dined there in a few years. It seems like there are just too many restaurants and not enough time. But one of these days I want to get there and try the Scotch egg. It looks delicious.

It is such a nice walk from BW to HS. We were at the YC in September and found ourselves walking to and from HS at least six times. It was very convenient, but the BW would be even closer.

 

[Chicago Mo]

Aww. Too bad you had to say goodbye to your favorite resort.. Yet the boardwalk just looks like SO MUCH FUN!

really cute PP pictures- you have a really cute shirt on too...

I adore the backpack Mark has with your dis name on it! Where did you have that made?!

YAY for Hollywood Studios!!!


Hope everything is going well for you my friend.

Mark's scotch egg looks so good. We shared one one time and I can't wait to have another. And I love the fish and chips. So yummy.

Love, love, love the Boardwalk!!!! I think it is my favorite place to stay when it is just me and the hubby. We can walk to all of our favorite places! No busses.

 

[afwdwfan]

Dinner looks great. But they're a little bit stingy on the ketchup and tartar sauce with your fish and chips, aren't they? I think they almost covered the bottom of the cups at least.

I like the split stays. I can understand it being hard for you to leave your giraffes though. I'd love for us to do some split stays sometime. I even considered it for our upcoming trip. With the kids though, we just have too much crap that we'd have to move from one place to another and it just isn't worth it!

 

[ddstratton]

You had a nice view for dinner! However, the rowdy kids would have annoyed me. I find that I have less and less patience with the parents that let kids act like that. I don't really blame the kids. I mean, they're kids! But the parents that just let it happen? Grrr.

Dinner looked good, although I have no idea what Mark had. It still looks good. I remember asking what that appetizer was on one of your previous reports. Since then, I have found a recipe to make the Scotch egg. Still haven't tried it, though...

Loved seeing some of the walk between the Boardwalk and Hollywood Studios. Looking forward to more!

 

[MonsterWDWmom]

I love Rose and Crown, I ate there in Sept and the food was so yummy!

Sorry about the family behind that is the perfect way to ruin a meal (even though this does not seem to be your case)

Yay Boardwalk!! It looks like such a nice resort and plus you can walk to 2 parks!

 

[jedijill]

I love a Scotch egg! Yummy! Ugh, I hate out of control kids. I would love to stay at the Boardwalk some of these days for F&W.

Okay okay okay, I am so sorry to start my response with this, but I can't shake it off:

The daisy/lion/man-face/girl-child-body chairs are seriously freaking me out.

NOW I SHALL PROCEED.

You two are so great. Also, I promise that if my child is running around at a restaurant at Disney, I will do my best to stuff my food into my tummy and go in order to let her run around away from others looking to pleasantly and peacefully dine. Also, I will try and bribe her to sit if necessary. I understand the struggle. I understand we won't be the only ones there "on vacation."

Mmmm...scotch....

I love the lights on the floor. I may know a slightly wee version of my husband and myself who will get a kick out of that, too.

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 22 WAS MY THIRTIETH BIRFLE! I'm glad you woke up to zebras. Zebras are like a mental high five to my mom. Also cool: they're turning out to be Squeaks' favorite, too, along with owls. It's nice when she reminds me of her late Nana. I hope you had a happy-my-birthday-to-you! I can't wait to see the rest of the day!

I hope your mom and your brother and your budget are all doing alright today. Those medicine costs sure can add up. <3

 

[CaseFace5]

Hi Kathy All caught up!

Glad you enjoyed your dinner, but sorry you had to deal with annoying kids. People never realize that while it doesn't bother them, it bothers all other around them. some people I tell ya!!

Love the pictures of the walkways on the way out. One of the many small details that I love. Your PP Picture came out great too! Love the coloring.

The BWV look amazing! I so want to stay there some day. I knew that you could walk to Epcot from there but I didn't know you could walk to HS too!! That's awesome! Even though we aren't staying there this next time I really want to go check it out!!

As always, your family is still in my thoughts.

 

[mickeystoontown]

What a nice view from your table at Rose & Crown. Too bad the people behind you let their kids run around like whirlwinds. I've never understood people who allow their kids to do that.

Mark did a fine job taking pictures of the Boardwalk lobby while you were checking in. Do you remember how long it took you guys to walk from the Boardwalk to Hollywood Studios? If I can talk John (and myself) into going back to the Boardwalk, we'll probably take that same walk.

 

[JKSWonder]

I tell my kids I expect "restaurant behavior" from the both of them. They know if they don't comply, they will be summarily escorted out of the restaurant by one of us.

The scotch flight looks intriguing, but lethal. Glad Mark enjoyed it though!

My husband and I have never been to Jellyrolls. I'm thinking we may need to give that place a try this August.

 

[that's nice]

Great pictures around Epcot!

I never realized there was a M&G across from Rose & Crown.

Wow you were seated fast. I hope no one I know had kids running all over the place during dinner time- or breakfast time for that matter.

Of course Mark was feeling good after drinking a scotch flight.

Buh Bye AKL, Helllllllllooooooo Boardwalk!

How was the walk to DHS? Why didn't you take the boat?

I can't wait to hear about this DIS meet.

 

[schmass]

What a great view from Rose & Crown. I have yet to eat there. The fish and chips looked good!

Sad that you had to leave AKV and your wonderful savannah view, but you are going to the Boardwalk! I just love it there. The walking to 2 parks is AWESOME!

 

[Clarf]

I want to try Rose and Crown sometime just for the fish and chips!

I love the light up street? floor? ground? squares at Epcot. So cool because you'd never know during the day that they light up.

Sorry you had to leave AKL. I'd have a hard time leaving that view too. But, Boardwalk is one of my top 2 places I want to stay someday! I didn't know you could walk to HS from there too!

 

[TheMaxRebo]

wow, that table is like the perfect spot at Rose & Crown - what a view! Sorry about that other family though.

We have actually never eaten outside at Rose & Crown - but we usually go towards Illuminations time when I know they are at a premium. We would then just go out to watch the show and come back in to our table

Definitely got to get in those animal pictures while you can!

Hope you enjoyed your stay at the Boardwalk. We stayed there once and while I liked the resort our specific room wasn't great - just was showing some wear and tear(scuffed walls, rug was ripped a bit, stuff like that). The location of the resort is pretty darn phenomenal though.

It's very cool how when you walk to MGM you can see the Tower of Terror beaconing you in

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

You know there really is a fine line when it comes to Disney etiquette. Understanding that kids are a big part of the equation, and I'm totally fine with the excitement that comes with that. I quite enjoy it actually. But at meals, especially TS meals, there's no excuse for that behaviour just because it's Disney. I think the same rules should apply there like they would at any restaurant anywhere. But for some reason, people think because it's Disney (of course maybe they act like that anyway), it's all ok. It's not.

But you can't complain about the view.

Oh, I so love the light up walk ways. Just so freaking cool.

I so want to stay at any of the Epcot resorts. I just love that area so much. But those freaky chairs in the lobby.

Excited for your DISmeet. And hey, I could still end up in a photo somewhere, lol.

 

[sunnysideup3]

That Scotch Egg looks interesting...and Fish and Chips-YUM!

I'll have to remember that Winnie the Pooh meet and greet. I keep forgetting it's there!

Hope all is better with your family, you're in my thoughts!

 

[Gracefulskinny]

Ever since I have heard about the scotch egg it has been on my bucket list to try. One of these days I will get over to Rose and Crown and try one. Those fish and chips look very tasty.

Ugh.. just when I think I've got my ADRs decided for tomorrow.... Now you've got me thinking of adding in a Rose and Crown. poor DH is going to go crazy.
