I am gutted that I can't get a ressie for le cellier - your meal there looks so delish!

even if you don't have a reservation, you should try a walk up...
just walk up to the restaurant when you're at Epcot and see if they have anything available..

they reported on the podcast last week that when they went for a walkup there were plenty of tables available..
lots of people have made reservations and not kept them....

and they specified walking up to the restaurant - not calling on the phone beforehand and not trying the centralized reservation service in guest relations....they said you should walk right up to the restaurant and try your luck....they were able to get into le cellier last week that way...


GREAT pictures Wayne!!! the food at le cellier looked really good (and the deserts really adorable, though not necessarily the tastiest).....

actually, the food at WCC looked pretty appetizing too- i must be hungry

what shoe store was that picture taken in? which mall?

i have so much shopping to do and it seems as if we're going to have to cancel the trip...

I'm loving your live reports, Wayne and Matt!

You've been to many of the same restaurants we'll be eating at in November, so loving seeing your pics and reading your opinions.

Hope Matt hasn't spent all his (or perhaps your) $$ yet - remember guys, shopping is a marathon not a sprint!

Enjoy the rest of your trip

Love the photos of Cape May - think it's up there with Boma as our favourite. The fish in batter there is always the best I've ever tasted and the beef was great as well.

The kids loved that they could write on the tablecloths - got some good games of hangman going.

TIA.

Both the Sun Tracker and the Whaler (smaller) cost $45 plus tax for 30 minutes.

We wanted the smaller boat (Whaler) but only the Sun Trackers are allowed around the Downtown Disney area so we decided to go with that . It was great fun!!

Just taken more pics today at WPE but not getting time to upload them. Will as soon as poss.

Upto a few days ago I would say walk up was possible but now US free DDP has started they are turning people away every meal we have.
I would say Le Cellier would be top of my list for ADR's if we ever do DDP again, best steaks we have had all trip, nice atmosphere and served at a good pace, not rushed but not too slow.

It was Reebok at Premium outlets. Got trainers for $28, full price about $75.

Last night ate at Crystal Palace MK, from arriving to being seated almost 1 hour, computer went down a lot of unhappy guests, must have been upto 100 stood outside with lots of empty tables. food was nice once we got in.

Tonight ate at Tutto Italia Epcot, 1st impressions were not good, strange place and too many tables crammed in but service and food was excellent, Karen and Matt had lasagne, I had halibut, all enjoyed. Upload pics when I am not so tired, Hoop Dee Doo tomorrow.

Just catching up on this thread after a few days travelling and sleeping.
Even though we are off-site next trip it's still good to see what is on offer on-site as it helps us make our minds up for future visits.
Loving all the pics - had to laugh at you in the shop with your calculator out - I might have to try that next time DW is in the Fossil shop to see if it encourages her to exercise some restraint

Pleased to hear - and see - that you are having a good vacation

We also like to rent a boat - in December we rented at the Boardwalk (discount if you have an annual pass) - we went down to the studios - it was good

Looks like you are all having a great holiday - with plenty of food - makes me hungry everytime I look at this thread

 

[Cyrano]

Glad you rated the food better than we did in Whispering Canyon. IMHO it was medicore for $130 for the 5 of us.

Le Cellier and Cape May both look nice choices

We have enjoyed some nice meals but I would not pay the price for many of them, incl WCC, think it was about $100 for 3 of us, could buy 2 nice meals offsite for that. Ok free on DDP.

Crystal Palace didn't take pics of food as its standard buffet food.

Cup cake and card fo our Anniversary signed by Pooh and friends.

Tutto Itallia meals

Nice but expected cream in them not Ice Cream.

Few more from WPE.

Going to get ready for Hoop De Doo Review now, attempt to use Disney transport

 

[Pegasus928]

I like the look of the one just above - the sandwich with the crisps. What was that?

Hi Kenny, It was Mu Shu chicken pocket, Asian slaw, crisp bean sprouts, spicy hoisin.

Been to Hoop Dee Doo review tonight, great evening, way too much to drink. Bus journey there a nightmare 1hr 15 mins for a trip that takes 5-6 mins by car. Coming home much better, about 30 mins. Done Hoop twice now, enjoyed both times. Sleep now and sober up for Crystal Palace breakfast at 10:25am.

 

[Pegasus928]

You'll have to let me know how that goes.
We have this booked for our upcoming trip - one of the only Disney dining we are doing - but to be honest the main reason I have done this is for the chance to get some pics of us in front of the castle on a quiet Main Street.

Did you do bus to MK and then boat to FW or 2 buses? I prefer the bus and boat option.

I would always go to MK on the bus - happy to drive to other parks/resorts, but bus to MK is a big plus for staying on site IMO

Wayne, whats the pasta dish and whats the pizza, and where from they both look lovely, and the bread too.
