My First Trip Home to SSR, the pain & obstacle in getting there! Complete TR w/Pics!

Now we’re ready to hop over Port Orleans, Riverside… I think this is a more saddle resort. It seems like it is more spread apart than the French Quarter. Dsis got a good vibe here than the latter but in my opinion I would do POFQ 1st before I do POR!

I cant remember if there was a fountain in the lobby… I don’t think so but they have this instead BTW am a big fan of fountains!!!

Boatwrigts Dining Hall…

After browsing the menu we did not see anything we like… so off we jump to OKW

DSC04892.jpg


And had gone straight to Olivia’s

Since we did not have an ADR we had to wait for maybe about 15-25 minutes which was fine since we got the chance to check out the resort…

The Castle Slide at the main Pool

Adjacent to the pool are these spitting dolphins :lmao:

OK now we’re buzzing…. Off we go back to be seated…

We had the onion rings served with a variety of dips… honey mustard , Cajun style type a sauce and almost tartar sauce like… love the honey mustard with a kick! That’s the one on the right!

And this bread… I think it was sourdough.. freshly baked… with pineapple coconut butter it was to die for… and our CM was nice enough to ask if we want another one!!! Mama Mia!!!

DSC04904.jpg


Dsis had the crab crusted mahi-mahi with jasmine rice and asparagus… this was good but not as good as what I got! I had to share mine with her!!! Also the mahi-mahi had tasted better when she dipped it with the honey mustard sauce from the onion rings sauces!!!

And are you ready for what I ordered!!! It was delish to the 10th power!!! Really!!!
It is the Caribbean Barbeque Grouper - Served with mango bbq sauce, mashed sweet potatoes and tostones.

DSC04907.jpg


And of course my 1st souvie cup!!! Lighted Tinkerbell with fruit punch!!! And yes it was non-alcoholic!!!

After dinner we headed back to SSR to have a cup of coffee and call it a night… but it did not happened that way. Since the 19th will be a day solely dedicated for my bday which means we starts and ends the day at MK… we won’t have time to go back to DTD for one last time so off we jet and go!!!​
 
Okay, I admit, I am a big cheat! :eek: However, your trippie has interested me so that I went and had a look at your 2001 link and found your pictures :magnify: and I enjoyed those too ::yes:: ! Now seeing your bed all made up at the Pop, I'm wondering if you brought your own comforter and pillows as well as the bedding? We are Pop people and that bed looks so nice and cozy and I want to do the same thing next time we go! Good idea there!

Thanks also for your last installment, the food at Olivia's looks really good and I'd never have thought of eating there. Did it take long to get there, I've heard that resort is a bit out of the way but people love it so it must be great regardless!

Oooh just editing to add, I love your Halloween party costume! How great was that!
 
Who-hoo!! See ya at POP then- that's where I'll be! I'll see ya at the bar after Wes crashes each night! And yes-- it's nice having a sweet little baby and all-- but come on! I'm ready for him to get Disney crazed like his parents!
 
Hey Tinker (looking up at above post)! Have we met? If not, I'll see you in September too! :cutie: (ETA: Saw your facebook. Loved the tye-dye shirts!)

Well Antss, I loved the last installment. Did you all have a car? Or were you driving around?

The pics of the food looked sooooo good!

Looking forward to the rest!

It may sound :scared: but I guess thats why mousekeeping loves my room...
becuase they dont have to change anything but towels... I always have 2 Full Size sets that I bring with me. And I dont really use comforters so the flat sheet with the set is perfect for me... Plus years ago... I had a bad experience at a Marriott Hotel in Va beach... by the time I wake up I have welts on my legs... which later on I found from my dermatologist was a product of Bed bugs :faint::scared: so now I bring my lime green gloves with my wipes... and wipe all over the counter, the side of the bed and all its woodwork and search under the bed (if you saw the whole trip report last Sept o6 I found empty bags of condom under the bed :scared: :eek: ). So it is a habit now that I do a complete search before I put my feet up and snooze till the wee hours of the morning ...:rolleyes:


Olivia's - have not tried going there via Disney Bus so I am not really sure how long will it take... but the best way to get there according to a CM is via Ferry...

Where are you from if you dont mind me asking... if you are overseas and our trip overlaps in Sept. I can bring you a couple of sets of the full size sheets that I get at the dollar store if I see any... Someitmes they have nice fun colors and dont mind using it as a disposable sheets... use em and leave em...:woohoo:
 
Who-hoo!! See ya at POP then- that's where I'll be! I'll see ya at the bar after Wes crashes each night! And yes-- it's nice having a sweet little baby and all-- but come on! I'm ready for him to get Disney crazed like his parents!

Aww you are sweet! I am from CA but we moved to Sweden ages ago..my Mom is Swedish and after coming and visiting a lot as a kid I always wanted to live here for a while, see the four seasons and just immerse myself totally in my Swedish heritage! Mom won't leave now and I don't want to leave her so here I am :). Nah but it's okay, I have me an English boyfriend who loves Disney and we travel back often. Although! I am in terrible danger of canceling our trip this come Sept! We got the free dining that was offered to the UK peeps a good while back and I couldn't resist booking it, but now it doesn't look like we will be able to swing it :sad1: :sad1: :sad1: .

I just can't bring myself to cancel yet though, in case of a miracle! But we don't have flights booked and they keep going up in price so there's that as well. Aw but maybe we can go in December :idea: . You are so nice to offer the sheets and if we do make it to the World in Sept. I'd love to meet up regardless :goodvibes ! That would be fun! Now your sheets idea is a great one and makes the room look nice and cozy. I've always brought my own pillow and have to make sure the sheet is properly covering the thin blanket if I'm going to sleep to make sure I don't get cooties! I'd never touch the bedspread, but DBF Kevin is happy to bounce about and even fall asleep on it, he's got no clue what dangers lurk!
 
You are sooooo crazy! Now when I go to DTD, I HAVE to look for that bench! :lmao:
 
Yeah, where IS that bench??? I am still loving your report, just had to mention it again, and I am so excited for the MK pics. The more the merrier I say........:yay:

Samantha (and now my daughters are hooked too, so hello from Maddie and Gabbie)
