MagicBands + Margaritas + Muggles + Minions = TRP. New TR link is up! 10/31

The stock mugs are ridiculously small. I'll never understand. :confused3

I also hate United. When we have miles, I'll fly them and they're pretty much the only game in town for Michael's adventures in Africa but domestically they are my last choice. They tie with Frontier for suckiest airline.

Love that THV water view. pixiedust: And taking the boat to DTD is so fun!

Breakfast at Raglan looks amazing! I'm going to have to try it. We've done dinner but not breakfast. My next WDW trip is going to have to be like 3 weeks long.
 
Mimosa sounds so much better than Bucks Fizz which is what it is called in the UK.

I'd love to get stuck in Orlando as long as I could still hit the parks. Hanging around all day in the airport is so not fun.

Off to check out the PTR now.
 
I'm glad you and Jeff were able to get in a good run and that you were able to enjoy your coffee on your deck (wrong mug or not ;)).

I had no idea that Raglan Road served brunch. I will have to tell Mark about this. Is it a year-round thing or just the holidays?

A flight on Thursday and it was only Sunday? Oh my. We fly United more than 75% of the time and have never had an issue like that. :eek:

Finally some warm weather...I was beginning to think you guys would never catch a break with the weather.
 
Nice day for a morning run! Beautiful view from your deck!

Too bad about Kerri and Eric's flight mess! Ugh. At least when we drive, and the weather is somewhere else, we can still go! I hope they got home before Thursday!!

Raglan Road looks better and better to me with every TR I read!! I might need to squeeze that in somewhere on one of my next trips! Your dish sounds yummy to me! I think my kids would enjoy the dancers too.

I like the TRP! Sounds like a great idea to wind down from the crazy busy times you've had. I'm doing the DCLRP - Disney Cruise Line Recovery Program - when we go for New Years!
 

Ugh, what a hassle with the flight situation! That would have put a damper on things for sure. Luckily for us, we've only had one mishap with United back in 2010 due to weather also, but 1 out of 10 times isn't too bad I think. We are SWA people because we have a CC with them. Aside from them, we really like Delta.

I'm so excited to check out Raglan Road! Although we won't be going for breakfast/brunch, i've heard amazing things about this place and i'm stoked that I got us a dinner ressie in January:cool1:

Geez, I don't remember it getting that warm in January when we went in 2010. How nice!
 
Of course it gets warm after I leave. :lmao:


No better place for a TRP than those THV. :goodvibes Easy way to DTD and what a yummy brunch at RR.


Having spent the day at O'hare once I understand the lets just go anywhere mindset. I hope they got home a bit easier once they could get to Denver.
 
I won't willingly fly United either. That's an awful position to be in. I hope it worked out in the end.

Love the view of the treehouses. We stayed at POR and saw them from the boat to DTD. I always wondered if the view to the river was decent from the deck. Now I know. Thanks for sharing.


Love Raglan Road. Those Christmas costumes are fantastic.
 
Love the update...I have GOT to try Raglan Road. Each trip we say we are going to and something always comes up! We have penciled in trying to get the THV's at SSR during our May, 2016 trip (not that I plan very far in advance or anything like that!) They look like they could be a real escape from everything for a while. Looking forward to more of your TR!
 
Welp, if your coffee mug had to be small, at least your view was excellent! It's good to see there was coffee on every veranda/porch so far.

:scared1: those weather delays! At least they could rebook to Denver knowing they wouldn't necessarily have to sleep in an airport - not fun.

Oh that brunch. I love me some good Disney food pics. I wish I could find the time to squeeze it into our next trip!
 
The stock mugs are ridiculously small. I'll never understand. :confused3

They are horrible. I did like that the THV had colored fiesta ware instead of the plain and oh my, they must think everyone entertains there, I've never seen that many wine glasses in a DVC villa!

I also hate United. When we have miles, I'll fly them and they're pretty much the only game in town for Michael's adventures in Africa but domestically they are my last choice. They tie with Frontier for suckiest airline.

It's kind of sad. I used to have status on United back in the day, and loved them. It has changed SO much. I personally haven't flown them in forever but last time I did we had major changes (not notified) and delays and I've heard so many horror stories from friends, I won't consider them. And...I warned Kerri. Told her not to. Melissa did end up having issues as well, the whole world did that day (I'll get to it) but they were minor compared to Kerri's.

Love that THV water view. pixiedust: And taking the boat to DTD is so fun!

I seriously could live there.

Except they'd need to add a closet in that master! Oh wait, I'd just take over the bunk bed room and turn it into a closet.

:thumbsup2

Breakfast at Raglan looks amazing! I'm going to have to try it. We've done dinner but not breakfast. My next WDW trip is going to have to be like 3 weeks long.

So yummy! Sunday brunch only and it's a limited menu but SOOOOOO good!

Mimosa sounds so much better than Bucks Fizz which is what it is called in the UK.

It does sound better! Bucks Fizz sounds like a cocktail...I envision soda or tonic, not bubbly.

I'd love to get stuck in Orlando as long as I could still hit the parks. Hanging around all day in the airport is so not fun.

Off to check out the PTR now.

In Orlando they had a free room, wifi, and time to figure stuff out. In line at the airport, waiting at the airport all day...none of those things. We would have just stayed at Disney for sure in that situation but Eric really needed to get back for work.

I'm glad you and Jeff were able to get in a good run and that you were able to enjoy your coffee on your deck (wrong mug or not ;)).

Wrong mug is right! I didn't find a single Disney one that trip. So sad! Not like I needed a new Disney one but....it's a trip thing! Coffee on the deck though, one of my favorite things in the world.

I had no idea that Raglan Road served brunch. I will have to tell Mark about this. Is it a year-round thing or just the holidays?

Neither, it's just on Sunday's.

A flight on Thursday and it was only Sunday? Oh my. We fly United more than 75% of the time and have never had an issue like that. :eek:

When I lived in Chicago, I flew United probably 90% of the time and back then, for work, that was a LOT. They have really changed and from here, people seem to have issues every time.

Finally some warm weather...I was beginning to think you guys would never catch a break with the weather.

We were loving the sun! Even if it wasn't supposed to last long.

Nice day for a morning run! Beautiful view from your deck!

It was!

Too bad about Kerri and Eric's flight mess! Ugh. At least when we drive, and the weather is somewhere else, we can still go! I hope they got home before Thursday!!

That is true. Driving isn't an option for us. It would be to DL but...BLEH

Raglan Road looks better and better to me with every TR I read!! I might need to squeeze that in somewhere on one of my next trips! Your dish sounds yummy to me! I think my kids would enjoy the dancers too.

The girls would love the dancers. We were actually thinking of going there for both brunch and dinner on our sept trip but it really doesn't fit in well to do both.

I like the TRP! Sounds like a great idea to wind down from the crazy busy times you've had. I'm doing the DCLRP - Disney Cruise Line Recovery Program - when we go for New Years!

DCLRP sounds pretty perfect to me too! As you well know, they are VERY relaxing!

Ugh, what a hassle with the flight situation! That would have put a damper on things for sure. Luckily for us, we've only had one mishap with United back in 2010 due to weather also, but 1 out of 10 times isn't too bad I think. We are SWA people because we have a CC with them. Aside from them, we really like Delta.

I am not a SWA fan I have to admit. We really like our pre-assigned seats. I used to love Delta, lately we've had service issues so it's not my fav but I do fly them occasionally. When we can, we always fly Alaska.

I'm so excited to check out Raglan Road! Although we won't be going for breakfast/brunch, i've heard amazing things about this place and i'm stoked that I got us a dinner ressie in January:cool1:

We really love it. It has been a while since I've been there for dinner. Jeff wanted to do brunch and Dinner there in sept but I think we will just stick to brunch.

Geez, I don't remember it getting that warm in January when we went in 2010. How nice!

It was! While it lasted.
 
Ugh for flight cancellations! What problems that creates.

I didn't realize that they did the Irish dancing even for brunch service at Raglan Road. Very cool!
 
Looks like a beautiful morning. I really loved the treehouses and the whole SSR complex is just so pretty and relaxing! And such a great place to run in the nice weather.

Let me get this straight - Sunday flight rescheduled to Thursday? :faint: Seriously? They couldn't do better than that? People DO work. :confused3

I remember the brunch picture from FB. Looks super fun and yummy and you got great pictures of the dancers.

Ah, yes, the rita bar! Love it there. They do make a good rita, although I was disappointed that the pink grapefruit rita no longer exists. *sigh*
 
Oh that sucks about the cancelled flight! I hate United with a passion too...I prefer SW but that's just me. ;)

Looks like you guys had a great brunch...I haven't been to RR for ages but I think a return trip is in the cards.

Jill in Co
 
What a horribly frustrating situation with the flights :(

Brunch looks positively delicious. That is going on the list the next time we're at a resort near DTD. We've gotten to the point that traveling too far for a meal gets frustrating.

That caramel chocolate is cute. What did the E's buy that was extra?
 
Well if you don't like the weather in Florida around Christmas/New Year's, just wait a day! What a change in conditions for you! :thumbsup2

Never tried a breakfast dish at Raglan Road. Love watching the Dancers there! :love:

I've had at least one interesting trip to that Margarita Bar. A great place to meet someone after an evening of shopping....... :rolleyes1
 
the breakfast looks amazing, and I do love the holiday dresses the dancers are wearing.

I hate United, will not willingly fly them again. Our flights to Hawaii were delayed over 8 hours each way, which makes for a 23 hour travel days! It was a good thing we were in HI for two weeks. It allowed us time to forget the first flight.

You really can not beat pool time in January, and the view from the deck of your THV is so nice.
 
Last check in here before I leave

:woohoo:

But I have to say, not loving all of the United horror stories, cuz guess what? In the next two weeks I am scheduled to spend around 24 hours on 4 different United flights.

:scared1:

I am already ticked off that they rescheduled our 8 am departure flight to CA to 6 am (Big difference in wakeup time between 3 am and 5 am). I'm not sure if we have ever flown United, if we have it was many many years ago.

The treehouses look like such a zen place to stay!

Nice breakfast at Ragland Road. I have recommended it to family members, but I have never dined there!

Pool time sounds good to me!
 
Their flight was cancelled.

:sad2:
No, I think you got that one wrong. When you're still on Disney property, not at the airport and your flight is cancelled, the reaction should be something closer to this...
:cool1::cheer2::yay:

Melissa's still showed on time.
Yeah, right. :rolleyes1

Arriving (late as usual) at Raglan Road we found the rest of the crew waiting, Mom and Mel had gone ahead and gotten a mimosa while they waited.
We were seated at the coolest table!
Seems like a good idea to pass the time. And yeah, that table is cool. Looks like it could be a little closer to the stage though!

They'd been rebooked.

On a flight that left THURSDAY.

It was Sunday.
They really shouldn't have gone to the airport... :faint:

We heard from Kerri and Eric. They had decided to wait out a 3 hour line, trying to get a flight somewhere, anywhere.
3 hours??? :faint: Yeah... forget that. I'm going back to Disney World. Call me when you have a flight for me.

Mel and the boys had a bus to catch.
NO!!! Don't do it!!!
 
love your view that you had with your morning coffee! :thumbsup2

Your breakfast at RR sounds amazing. I do love eggs and spinach....especially post run.

Glad you and Jeff had a good run. 4 miles is an amazing amount of miles to get in while there. I think there is a site somewhere that lists the various routes. I probably should take a look at it sometime.

The flight situation really sounds like a pain. I too won't fly united any more after our own fiasco with them in December of 2011.

So glad you finally are getting a warm day. Sounds like pool time is definitely in order!
 
Only a couple of United flyers???? Yeah I had a choice of United or Delta for me red eye back from DL and chose Delta - mainly for the connection in ATL but not fond of United.

Even though weather was at the core of my day at O'hare and then no luggage for a conference and having the luggage meet me at the airport after another snowstorm delayed me going home, I believe it was United. I will say I could rebook multiple times pretty easily I guess, but it was just a cluster all around.

I avoid USAir even though Charlotte is a hub. Prices high and service low. I love SW even with the boarding. In fact lately I am avoiding the whole Charlotte Airport since it is undergoing major construction and as big a nightmare as Poly or DTD. :lmao:
