Turf Club sounds lovely - and I love the Chef Mickey photos!

 

[wayneg]

What was the cocktail she had? Think I might have to try it
Oh, and happy anniversary! Was it actually yesterday?
What are your plans for today? Looking forward to finding out!

Can't remember cocktail name, only it had vodka in it, and a lot of it.
Our Anniversary is not until day after we get home but its our 20th so celebrating it this whole trip.
Into MK now.

That chocolate cake from the Turf club looks soooo good

Was the steak nice? I know you said it had too much sauce but I alway have my sauces on the side so I can the amount I want but will avoid it the actual steak wasn't good!

Hope Karen is feeling better

Having a drool over all your foodie pics Wayne

You all look so happy, glad you are having fun!

Keep up the great work!

 

[Cyrano]

Great reports and photos as always Wayne.
I think I would have loved the blue cheese on the steak. Whereas the sickly chocolate cake would not be for me.

Magic that you had a server to make the experience at Turf Club one to enjoy

 

[Pinky166]

Great updates & pics Wayne.

Hope your having fun in MK.

Gosh Wayne,It doesnt seem like 5 mins since you was there last we just got back from a week in Cornwall so just catching up.

What do you think to the crowds, I've heard various reports from normal high summer crowds to abnormally quiet.

I think everyone is maybe waitng for october when we go

[orangetiggs]

It was very nice choc cake. I like a nice cheesecake myself but these choc lava cakes keep tempting me they are so good.
Karen is up and down with the pain, rented wheelchairs last 2 days but only to get between long distances, walking onto rides OK.

May was last trip, only here twice this year, last year was 4 times, no more trips planned yet.
Roads were quiet first few days but now in parks its busy as usual at this time of year.

Fries were included with Karens burger but we ordered a side to go with our steaks to share, had to pay extra for them. Whole bill came to just over $100 but only paid $8.79 for cocktail and side of fries, rest was covered on DDP.

Today had a cinnamon roll at Main St. bakery for my snack/breakfast, delicious. Lunch ate at POR again, all had chicken and fish basket. Tonight eating at Liberty Tree Tavern MK.

Woah! I see what you mean about the blue cheese overload! I've ordered that at the Turf Club in the past and I'm sure it didn't have that much on it.

Lovely to see you helping out with the updates, Matt.

 

[UKDEB]

Oh, and was the cocktail a Belmont Stakes Martini?

 

[Mrdudecool]

As I have said to Matt, I think you will love the liberty tree. We have been before and the food is just great.
Shame it isn't character anymore.

Glad you're having great fun!

Just spent the last 30 minutes searching the web for a drinks menu. Eventually found one - turns out it was called The Preakness Cosmo.

One thing that has annoyed me this year with Disney 'calculated' 18 & 20% gratuities at the foot of the bill. It seems that they have 'upped' the 15% base figure. Had a nice T-Bone at Texas Roadhouse last night at Hunters Creek.....are you tempted yet Wayne
You mentioned that Universal was busy when you and Matt went. We arrived at 9:30 this morning and rode the Simpsons three times with no wait. Seems the park loadings are unpredictable

 

[disneyholic family]

i'm hooked on lava cakes too Wayne....mmmmm...

the idea of checking out a one bedroom when you're there is very good...

we stay in a 2 bedroom there and they're wonderful.......huge and with more closet space than i have at home!...

i would never pay rack rate there, but you can almost always get them for much less with an AP discount..

anyway, worth having them show you a 1 or 2 br while you're there...
at the OKW that is....the 1 and 2 BR are much bigger than the same at any of the other DVC properties..

Posting on behalf of Dad because I won't let him have the laptop.

That made me laugh, Matt.....

We've gave in long ago, and Becki and Jack have their own.... LOL

Hope your mum is feeling brighter.

Great food pics Wayne, gosh that chocolate lava cake looks yummy!

Not tempted at all, I am enjoying the onsite meals so far. I tend to tip what I feel the service is worth rather than a %.

Pics from LTT. Forgot to take pics of Apple cobbler and ice cream but it was very nice

Thanks for the great updates Wayne and Matt! Looks like you're having a lot of fun out there.
