Mickey, Minions & more. 2 week holiday. Updated 9/14 - FINAL THOUGHTS

[DisneyJo]

Sounds like a lovely day and I'm pleased you got to try lots of new things

The mini golf looked fun! Congrats on winning! I wouldn't have minded getting the Senior discount if it saves money!

Dinner looked really spicy! I can't do jalapeno peppers. So for how long do you need to avoid alcohol? I would have really wanted a Margarita, but I'm sure that is really helping you to lose weight!

Great job on the weight loss!

 

[Turbanator]

Congrats looks like you had a great time

The inside of Margaritaville looks very similar to the one we ate at here in Louisiana. They opened it about six months ago and we had dinner there on my birthday.

Vinny looks so cute on the scooter!

Margaritaville looks fun! Maybe I can convince DH to give it a try sometime, but he is NOT a fan of Jimmy Buffett at all...unless we are at Old Key West, then it's apparently fine

Looking forward to the next installment when you get on property...there's really nothing better than the "Welcome Home" is there? We bought an Old Key West sticker for our car during our last trip and it came with another little "Welcome Home" sticker which we put in the corner of our rearview mirror...I have to say it really helps to look up and see that during our gross winters here!

CityWalk is really pretty at night and you captured some great snapshots of it. We have yet to eat at Margaritaville...either in Florida or anywhere else (we always eat at Emeril's at CityWalk). One of these days we have to try it.

It sounds like a good day all around and can't wait until we hear about your "Welcome Home."

it is a pretty place at night. Thank you.
it was a good place.
it was a good day and so happy it went well.

it was. Thanks. Saving is nice.
It was spicy but good. I love them preferably with the seeds in them.
I can have it now. The Saturday before Christmas I could drink and I did.
Thank you.

Congrats looks like you had a great time

Thank you. It was a great time.

I am sure they are all similar. It was nice inside. Nice place to go for dinner. The closest one to us is in Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut or down in Atlantic City. Both are over 2 hour drives.
He loves to pose.

They play the music but it isn't just his music being played. I am not a fan of him either.
I guess the resort puts him in the tropical mood.
That is nice. Vinny won't let me put any stickers on the car. He thinks it will ruin it. After 2 accidents I think they ship has sailed.

See the surgeon tomorrow for my 3 month check up.

Good luck!! You are one of his superstars I'm sure!!!

Dh and I have done margaritaville. It was late so we did apps and I had a margarita, dh had a beer...

Joe was totally against stickers too, however we bought two OKW magnets and both were stolen...while we were at WDW!!! It then became a mission that we were going to have something OKW on our car and it wasn't going to be stolen so a sticker it was! He's limited me at just the one though.

 

[eandesmom]

What a wonderful Universal day you had, you really saw so much!

We love Margaritaville. I have to admit, thought it's a bit of a spoiler, we had absolutely horrendous service our last visit.

The food and margaritas were as good as ever though and I'm glad you liked it.

 

[PrincessAlways]

Mini golf course looks great!
Meal looks spicey!!!

Scott I also ate at Margarittaville and love it !!! I had the Cuban Sandwich which was delicious !! The atmosphere is great and the sevice was good !!

I hear that a lot of Disney magnets being stolen while there. Sad.
You are lucky you get the one. Once we move and I have my own car then I will decorate.

You got some fabulous night pictures. did you use a tripod?
That mini golf course does look fun.
we ate at Margaritaville too and it was sooooo good.

 

[MEK]

Dinner looks really yummy! Glad you finally got to try Margaritaville. Sounds like you had a great time at Universal. It's still on my list for October - thanks to you!

I love your night shots. They make me want to be there right now!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Subbing in.

What a great day at UO and CityWalk.

Even more amazing - congratulations on the weight loss. I loved seeing the week by week pictures of you shrinking (in size). Well done!

I was hoping for more but I am very happy.

Thank you. Nope. Just my hands. My tripod was actually in my owners locker so I had not gotten it yet and then I never used it.
it was fun.
It was good. Very happy with that choice. Glad you liked it also.
