Oh wow! You're going to have a great time, I'm sure. I really look forward to reading your V&A review!

Have fun!

We're going from May28-June 5th.
Anyone up for a drink a thon then? Either a monorail one or around the world one. (As we're staying at the Swan the around the world one sounds better for gentle stumbling back to the room).
As for the around the world drink a thon... seriously.. with that kind of liquid intake I'm forseeing getting to know where each and every restroom is in Epcot!!
Or perhaps just half way around the world... might get stuck in Germany or Mexico!!

I am glad I checked my email one last time...we are walking out the door in literally 5 minutes!

We had an EXCELLENT trip. We really loved the Dolphin, especially for the price ($159 a night, FL res rate) and we have another trip planned for F&W Fest. We sat by the pool every afternoon, and drank mojitos every afternoon! Our only disappointment was at Blue Zoo, which used to be one of our favorites.

We tried Flying Fish for the first time and loved it. I highly recommend the Segway Tour at Epcot.

We have always loved Boma, for breakfast AND dinner. This trip was no exception, although I was disappointed in my bloody mary. Not a drop of booze in there!

Any trips planned for you and Mrs Duck?

 

[luvthatduck]

Sounds like you had a good time!

We have a tentative trip planned for early Janurary. Pooh26 is running in the 1/2 marathon. I'll watch from the sidelines with a mimosa.

 

[wildernesslodgelover]

Sounds great! Early January is a great time of year!

Hey WWL:

Sorry you had such an awful experience at Bluezoo. It's one of our favorites as well and actually plan on going in a couple weeks. I don't think we've ever made reservations there until the day we plan on eating there. As a matter of fact, I can't remember a time that they were over the top busy. That being said, I'm disappointed in the service that experienced. I can't stand going out and being able to actually hear a server yell at the kitchen staff or vice versa, the sure sign of a dead restaurant. We're still planning on going and hoping for the best. Although this might be a long shot, I was wondering, do you recall the oyster selection that Bluezoo was offering? I know the culinary world is now flat and you can easily order oysters in the dead of summer, shipped in from farms and colder climates, but I find that the selection can sometimes be pretty limited in June/July. I'm simply hoping for a nice variety.

Hi L.O.G.!

I am anxious to hear your report. I see Peter Pirate (whose reviews I usually agree with) was at BZ just recently and he said the food and service was excellent.

I don't recall the name of the oysters or where they were from, but I am pretty sure it was not a choice, they just had one selection. I know the rule of thumb is to not order oysters in a month without and "R" in it (May-August) but then I read somewhere that is not actually the case anymore, as you said. I figured since it was only a few days after April, it didn't really matter. They tasted great, but were teensy tiny. Now...maybe an oyster conoisseur would know just from reading the menu that these particular oysters (where ever they are from) are small. I can say, though, that I have never seen oysetrs that small myself!

I also chalked the poor service to the fact that the restaurant was *so* slow. I remember when I waitressed many moons ago...the busier you are, the better service you give. Things flow better, the kitchen runs more efficiently etc.

Please post your review! If we hear a few more good ones, we will consider going back. Also, I hate to keep harping on this, but if you sit in the lounge area, please listen out for the scraping of the barstools on the floor! I promise you, the first time you hear it you will smile and think of me! OR...curse me for bringing it to your attention!

Especially when the Eagles play the Giants on Sunday night football!!!

I had run across a post about beer samplers, there were I believe 5 beers offered. Can someone give me more information on this? Is it a special occassion thing only, and what restaurant is it located at? Or, if I completely misunderstood the whole post, just say "Hey Shark, wishful thinking!"

Hey, Shark! You can get beer samplers at Big River Grille on the Boardwalk or at Raglan Road. There may be other places. My DH is looking forward to the whiskey samplers at Raglan Road! Enjoy reading all the back posts to this thread!

I know it's not "fine beer" but I found a pumkpin beer the other day and it was GOOD!!!! Had the slightest hint of pumpkin with cloves, nutmeg and allspice... who'd a thunk it!

Trader Joes sells pumpkin ale every fall...it's almost time

Hello everyone! I'm in Narita airport in Japan waiting for my fight to Beijing. Nothing like a little catch up on the DIS while I sip Sapporo Beer in Northwest's Executive Lounge. Better yet ... the Beer here pours itself! You put the beer glass on a little tray and push the button. The tray tilts and the beer comes out one spigot. When the glass is *almost* full, the other spigot finishes it off with a 1-inch head. Perfect!

Anyway ... I also have a Disney related story. We went to Hong Kong Disneyland for my DD's 8th birthday. We had dinner over at the Disneyland Hotel at their character buffet. On the way out I stopped by the lounge to ask for a drink stirrer or a condiment sword (or whatever those are called!) as I collect them and use them in my drinks at home. Anyway ... there was no one at the bar, but that didn't stop me and I helped myself to two of the drink stirrers. I can't wait for have a drink when I get home and I can use them!

Does anyone else re-use their Disney drink stirrers at home?
