Marriage: The Trip Report - Update 2/28 - Final Thoughts & Link to Disneyland TR!

[BerrysGirl]

Those lights were there last December. I know because I was bit baffled by them as well. They make WS look so pretty but man, don't look directly at them!
Who knows when they made their first appearance Maybe they've always been there but they've recently switched to LED? I could see that change making them more obvious...

YUM!!! Your burger at B&C looks so, so good! So do your yummy drinks. How awesome to be gifted Soarin' FPs. I love when people do things like that!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

YUM! Beaches & Cream looks delicious! Especially that root beer float. I always say that we're going to stop and eat there one trip and then we never do. I NEED TO!

 

[norybell]

Unexpected Soarin' FPs??!! SCORE! Henry must've been so excited!

 

[Caretames1]

Yum! I could use some ice cream right about now, it's 85 degrees in WI right now

Aw, thats so nice someone gave some fastpasses for soarin, we did that in Jan only for Space Mountain (my older DD got a headache and didn't want to ride)


I seen Jens plug for her new TR, so I thought I'd throw out that I also have started my TR from our surprise trip last month. Shameless, but efective!

Brook, you are KILLING this pregnant lady with the onion rings pictures. Waaah! I really really really want onions rings and I can't get my favorite onion rings anymore because they are at the place I fell. Whoever goes to Disney next needs to fedex me some still warm onion rings, please and thank you.

Moving on....

I'm confused, I thought Henry loved Test Track. I remember you mentioning this, interesting.

I'm worried that little Mickey dude is going to go buh-bye.....

 

[jenjolt]

That is some serious pixie dust right there!! WOOT WOOT for Soarin FP!! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!

Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one...back in June I noticed those lights and was like say WHAT?!? I never noticed those before...so either you and I are the most oblivious people in the world (and in my case that might be quite true) or those are new!! I'm going to go with the latter LOL!

 

[KatMark]

SO UNFAIR!!!! I am back on a diet after all the food we ate on the trip and I am sitting here drooling over those darn onion rings. We have yet to get there and I am determined we will one of these days.

on the FP's for Soarin!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Great score with those fastpasses!!!

I'm a bit worried about little Mickey too...

 

[glennbo123]

Is Henry holding the plastic Mickey in his Spaceship Earth picture? It looks like there might be something in his hand, but it's a little blurry.

So cool that someone gave you Soarin' fastpasses! It's almost as much fun to give them away as it is to get them.

 

[wdwgirl03]

OK, I have got to eat at Beaches and Cream one of these days. Everyone says it's so good and it sure looks delicious!

Yay for someone giving you Soarin fastpasses. The same thing actually happened to us when we were in Disneyland. We wouldn't have been able to ride otherwise (not surprisingly there was a long line there and this was before it was built at Epcot). It was then that we fell in love with the ride. Sorry for that random story...

 

[MeMom]

If you've never been here, this is almost the entire restaurant. There are 3 or 4 booths on the left as well, but that's it!

It sure is. Small, but so very cute with deelishus foods.

I think it would make a fun snack bar/gameroom theme in a house, too.

 

[MEK]

Oh No - Is little plastic mickey about to have an extended stay on Spaceship Earth.

And will there be a meltdown involved?

Those onion rings look delish. I have decided to change a few of my December ADRs now that I can't do a split DxDP and I am reconsidering the Beach Club, if for no other reason than I want to try those O-rings!

Great update!

 

[hcmommy]

I just noticed those lights on the buildings at Epcot this last trip too. We were like what is that??!!!

My 3 yo lost a Star Wars Mickey on our Aug. trip, on Dumbo I think. Cried about it EVERYDAY the rest of the trip and still talks about it today. I hope Henry's Mickey didn't meet the same fate....

 

[jenseib]

Beach and Cream! YUM! I stil lthink about that No Wy Jose I had.....I DREAM about it!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

YUM! Beaches n Cream looking good, even at 7:30 am!

Right there with you on the lights in WS. We noticed them in May and someone, I think Jenjolt asked a CM who basically looked at her like she was nuts and said they had always been there. . I am not convinced. I am almost positive they weren't there in Oct 2010 or else they have changed in some other way to make them more noticeable.

Hurrah for Soarin FP's.

And great news on H's picture making the short list. So adorable!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I would have been stuffed, too, after having a root beer float, a burger, and onion rings, but I wouldn't have been able to stop myself -- those are some of my favorite things! Serious yumminess!

 

[tinacaplan]

Love the pictures of the Flower and Garden festival. While I won't be able to get there anytime soon, a lot of it is already up when we go in February. For awhile, I thought that was just what EPCOT always looked like.

So exciting that they might choose Henry's adorable picture. Max saw me looking at the pictures and he said, "Hey...wait...who is that?" So I told him and he said, "He has long hair, just like me. Does he have toys?" I said, "probably." He then said, "Let's visit him now." Too cute.

Love Beaches and Cream. Its on my list of food at Disney that actually lived up to the hype. We had a great meal there in July, I just wish it were bigger.

 

[blessedby3]

Your dinner looks delish!! We have never been to Beaches and Cream. It is so small! I think my family of 6 would just about fill it up
I am still very concerned about that little Mickey. Hope we get to hear more news on him soon
What a bit of Pixie Dust! Dont you just love when people are so nice as to give up their unused fast passes. We always look for a group of people to give ours to. Last trip, we did the DVC tour....they gave us the cards that had 3 instant fp on each. We only used 2 off of each card (I know--what were we thinging), so we had 8 of the cards left with 1 fp on each. I found a family of 8 and handed them over as we were going to load up in the van for the dreary trek home
Cant wait to read more!

 

[TanzUnited99]

Mmm Beaches and Cream...so yummy! I went there on our trip and was stuffed after the ice cream as well!

I didn't know that Beach Club still sold the old refillable mugs...good to know

Great SE pics and on the pixie dust! Looks like Henry will be riding Soarin after all
