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

[vettegirl]

Great update! Your splash mountain photos are great, love your pic of the drop! I have always been afraid to try the filet in Canada after other negative reviews, I will keep on avoiding as you just confirmed its not very good. However the trout sounds like something I need to try and of course that soup is amazing. Love the pic of Mark in the Remy Chef hate, as Remy is one of my favorite characters. Oh yes I have used a trash can more than once as a table at the festival, they really need more tables for people. Next time I may buy one of those little trays.

Lots of updates. Luvin the lights you got for Christmas

 

[jenseib]

Now I need a snack after reading and seeing all those wonderful food options

 

[Poolrat]

You were having some good luck with characters ( and scratch offs )


Nice eats at F&W. I have not tried the trout but the times I have had the filet it was small but good.

Oh I need to make it to F&W in 2015.

That is fantastic news that Mark will stay on at Target and that they will be flexible with his umpiring schedule.

That is such a cute meet and greet area near Dumbo. I like the snakes in Donald's area.

I love your pictures at the Magic Kingdom. Looks like you had your zoom on. The one of the Zip-A-Dee-Lady came out so nice and clear!

You also got fantastic pictures in the Country Bears show.

First, a private bus ride, and now a private ferry trip. You guys are getting quite the treatment.

Love Chip & Dale!

Bummer about the filet at the Canada booth, but I'm glad to hear that the trout was so good you went back for seconds.

I love all the photos. Thanks for sharing.

 

[SarahDisney]

I love the updates!

I love all the character pictures! Goofy is one of my favorites, so I'm glad you guys got pictures with him.

Splash Mountain ... yay! Although that is the one mountain I've never done ... I've heard good things about it, and I love your pictures. And omg Mark in the picture ... he looks like he's trying to avoid the camera (you look like you're having tons of fun).

I've actually never seen the Move It, Shake It Parade (or whatever it's called ... I actually think they just changed the name, but I never remember it), but it looks really cute!

Yay, you got to see Mary Poppins!! There's really never a PhotoPass photographer with Mary Poppins? That's interesting.

Sorry to hear about the filet at Canada ... but yay for the trout being good! And I love that you used a garbage can as a table ... they get a bad rap, but garbage cans do make excellent tables, and when you're ready to throw out your trash, you don't have to walk far at all!

 

[Steppesister]

Great updates, Kathy! I love Splash, but I almost love Bear Country Jamboree even more.

So... why are there no photographers with Mary Poppins?? I'm curious now!!

I'm super, SUPER excited to do the F&W every time I read one of your updates!! So many yummy choices!

 

[dizneeat]

Great update!

I just love the SM photo of you! And then to just run into Mary Poppins.

And now it is my time to say you are killing me with your food pics. I have not had breakfast yet - pure torture.

Thanks for sharing!

 

[Vernie822]

Sounds like a great birthday, even if you had to opt for Red Lobster instead! That's great news about Mark's job!

I love Splash Mountain, too. Just so classic and I love the story line. Your ride picture is so cute.

Ah, the Canadian cheddar cheese soup! We found a recipe for it and are hoping to try it soon. So good! Sorry the filet wasn't good for you guys- it's a shame that it's hit or miss because ours was so good. I wanted to try the rainbow trout too.. Next time!

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Awww Goofy sure does love to give hugs. He just gets it.

Splash is just pure joy. Plain and simple. Pure joy.

And speaking of pure joy... THE COUNTRY BEARS!!!!! Awww Al!!! <3

Oh how lovely to meet Miss Poppins. I love English accents so I could listen to her all day.

Sorry the meat at the canada kiosk was so bad. I'll have a talk with them about that. When I finally get it switched to Canadia there will be none of that, lol.

 

[GrammyJudy]

Really enjoyed your updates and pictures. Made me very "homesick" as it is cold and yucky here today in Vermont. Snow has stopped and going to warm up abit before the next cold front. But I am happy to say that next Jan. we will be going to Disney for my birthday....the big 70! Love your pictures, it makes me feel like I am there with you.

 

[teekathepony]

Hi Kathy!! I'm back and starting to catch up with everyone. You're first! I'm so far behind, but I'm caught up here now. Here we go.

The Backstage Safari Tour looks really cool, we've looked into it a few times. Glad you had good luck with the animals.

Love your Lion King shirt and Mark's Mine! Seagulls shirt.

Loving all the Photopass pictures from all updates, you guys got a lot of photos taken! That's awesome!

Aww new Lion King theatre! Can't wait to see it myself.

Yum! Epcot F&W offerings! Looks like you guys had some great choices (in two visits!)

Wonderful time spent in MK too.

Ok there! One report down and I don't even want to think about how many to go...

Then Mark worked New Year's Eve and they told him they wouldn't be keeping him on after "season" ended (January 17). They told him to reapply though and hopefully something would open up. Well, today when he went to work, they called him into a meeting and said they all felt bad they weren't keeping him, so they all worked together, and Mark will still have his part-time job at Target, including having most weekends off for baseball in the spring and summer.

This makes my heart very happy! What a wonderful blessing and this must make Mark feel SO good about himself! He is a wonderful person and thank goodness his good deeds and amazing personality did not go unnoticed. I am so happy for you both. I am glad that you had a wonderful birthday celebration as well. xo

 

[schmass]

I'm glad you had a nice birthday. That is great about the scratch tickets and Mark's job!

Yay for a meet with Mary Poppins since you missed her at breakfast!

You look so excited in the Splash Mountain picture! I am usually one of the people covering their heads in the picture.

That is too bad that the filet wasn't good, but it sounds like there was plenty of other good food to make up for it.

 

[Clarf]

Love all your updates! I finally got all caught up!

Food and Wine looks amazing. I'd love to try that noodle gratin thing, the Polish food, the cronut, the soup, and several of the others!

I love love love all your PP pics. Your pic on Splash Mountain, I looked at the pic and said to myself "where are they?" I didn't recognize you and thought Mark was a little kid hiding his head!

Okay, so I need to know, why doesn't Mary Poppins have PP with her?

Love your train pics. We ALWAYS forget to ride that. We always say we will and then forget!

So glad you had a nice Christmas. What great gifts you got! And, I saw it on FB, but yay about the lottery ticket for your birthday. What a great present. I hope you got to have your dinner.

So glad Mark is being kept on at Target and that they'll be flexible with his schedule.

Okay, I think I'm caught up! Ready for more!

Oh, I hope you get to see the Disney exhibit today!

Hi Kathy, You know I hardly ever respond even though I so enjoy reading your updates but I just want to say how great it is that they are keeping Mark on at Target. That just makes me like them even more than I do already! Hope 2015 is a wonderful year for the two of you. Elaine
