We are thinking of doing this actually when we go for Spring Break.The Lapu Lapu was the a winner. If we go back we will do the lounge area and order this drink and just the noodles!

I should have listened I thought with the more “normal” menu it would be better not so much!
Okay, phew! Thought I was losing my mind.Yes, new design in the shop!
Why they would even put these 2 empty doom buggy’s in your photo downloads is so funny
I’m going to have her send me a picture of it and I will post it.
"cant bring sauce"... what? That makes zero sense. They can bring drinks and they can bring food... but not sauce. Uh, huh.They can’t bring sauce to the table and they didn’t even have sweet and sour packets. I would have took anything to improve the dryness
Yikes!So true, the elevator was a bit scary for me, I got off just in case she rammed my leg into the door!
100% agree.Yes, definitely not the same. The whole cut corners, make things smaller, use less ingredients and charge more is getting old! I would gladly pay a little more for a meal that is good and corners aren’t cut
I didn't realize Storybook Circus was back opened. It's usually one of our favorites but doesn't look like that will continueOur main plan was to ride PPF, check out the castle, and go into Storybook circus souvenir shop.
Is that a whole pie in the upper right corner
Nothing like a little Lapu Lapu to say hello 21Andi wanted the Lapu Lapu, this was the drink she wanted for her 21st Birthday!
told her drink more Lapu Lapu That drink could cure anything.
Those do not look good at all. They look like those red lobster biscuits that cooked way too long
That doesn't even look remotely good. What in the world are they doing?
It had a mushy texture, not a fire grilled texture or taste. Again, not the same as the shrimp on the skewers.
I'm sure its another one of Disney's cost cutting measures not so cleverly disguised as having something to do with covidHow preparing the meat this way without the skewers is a way to prevent the spread of Covid is beyond me!
I will let you know how it turns out. I have made homemade chips before so hoping I can make ones with the old bay seasoning, yum!
There are so many cute Christmas shirts on Etsy for Disney, I also bought one for Universal!
It has the animal cages around the perimeter and places to sit all around the store.
This is a ride I need to do every trip and almost didn’t get a chance this trip.
Andi found a really nice old school poster calendar for the 50th celebration in here and of course mom bought it for her!
Andi wanted the Lapu Lapu, this was the drink she wanted for her 21st Birthday!
. I found out I am not a mojitos fan, who knew!
I told her drink more Lapu Lapu That drink could cure anything.
When he left, she says to me, “mom I am drunk” haha
I was a little worried about having a drunk driver navigating my wheelchair!
This meal was a big miss for us.
PPF is my favorite ride in MK, so nostalgic and true Disney all the way!Glad you were able to ride PPF on your last Disney day. Such a classic.
I was looking at your Ohana pictures, thinking, "Those don't look right" and "That's not the same." So disappointing, especially for how expensive it is! Bummer. But, not going to lie, I did laugh that Andi was feeling the Lapu Lapu.
I can’t quote for some reason now, ughNice!
Always love HM!
Sweet!
I ended up telling CMs or people close by to pull their masks up if they weren't wearing them properly.
Love a Lapu Lapu!
It's always so nice to watch the fireworks from the Poly beach.
The Lapu Lapu was definitely a highlight and did help Andi enjoy the mediocre meal and the nose peeking waiter.Poor Andi (or maybe that should be lucky Andi) and her Lapu Lapu
Sounds like it was the best part of the meal!
Love PPF and can't miss it on a trip ever!
I have so few Universal shirts, I have a HHN passholder one and now this Christmas one.That is cute! I never get HP shirts; the closest I get to a Uni shirt is Hello Kitty lol
I got the pin and that poster calendar, love it!
It s lol. The first time I had one the boys were pretty young; and I had 2. Then we went to watch Wishes and mom tripped over a beach chair and laid in the sand for a few
Same
This is so true! My patients always tell me (still because some our 90) “don’t get old honey” boy how I wish I could control that!It's crazy how long it's taking! It sucks getting old, doesn't it?! My mom and I say this to each other all the time, always followed by, "it sure beats the alternative!"
I know! I;m excited for all the Christmas decorations!Yay, but Boo! You leave the day before we get there!
Tells how your really feel Kelly!It's quiet because it literally sucks! I hate that whole area and wish they would make it more Animal Kingdom-like!
These sundaes are so good. Sprinkles is dead now with Gideon’s there wasn’t anyone in there!Cute! I didn't know they had little sundaes there
Yes we did, did take about 40 minutes of waiting in the queueDid you ever get on?
I think the fireworks got destroyed for that eveningWeird…I don't think I've ever seen that.
I sure hope the expensive Christmas party is betteragree…meh. I'm hoping the Christmas party is better.
Wow the water issues at CR, haha. The tub was so weird, I’m sure they didn’t have much choice. I’m glad we got the credit and Destino is so nice and no constructionYikes…but maybe their hands were tied because wasn't the tower still closed?
We had a leak in our CR room back in 2010. We had come back to the room late after MNSSHP and the ceiling was leaking. They came and moved us down the hall and gave us a nice credit for our trouble.
I know such a bummer!Aw, that stinks. I wonder what you would have gotten.
Same here and the grossest ads about a dying liver keep showing up ugh!It's even a pain on a computer lately. I hate this ad that keeps bouncing up on the bottom of the page that I have to minimize EVERY SINGLE TIME I CHANGE PAGES. Ugh. It gets old.
This is a cute calendar. I usually get Andi a Disney calendar each year.I got that too
Disney going cheap and blaming the pandemicA lot of their "Covid precautions" are questionable.
He was rather disorganized unfortunatelyDuh…why didn't he suggest to begin with??
I love Molly, she is so funny and really explains Genie + good. I love her Fancy ride and fiddle faddle termsGwen and I have been binge watching Molly! She is great! And I am 99% sure we will say the same thing.
So glad we finally tried thislove the lapu lapu!
I just don’t understand why bringing dipping sauce to the table is forbidden now ugh!That dipping sauce makes the noodles! I heard that it wasn't around these days. We will def be skipping Ohana for a bit.
I have never thought to ask for more pineapple juice!
I think this is the best way to do it now!We are thinking of doing this actually when we go for Spring Break.
No you are not! It is very differentOkay, phew! Thought I was losing my mind.
Well... more so than usual.
This makes zero sense and wow the pot stickers need something, jus very blah without the saucecant bring sauce"... what? That makes zero sense. They can bring drinks and they can bring food... but not sauce. Uh, huh.
It is weird in there, it does still smell really good, just less to look atI didn't realize Storybook Circus was back opened. It's usually one of our favorites but doesn't look like that will continue
haha it is a giant rice krispie treat, how anyone would ever eat that is beyond meIs that a whole pie in the upper right corner
Very true, she loved itNothing like a little Lapu Lapu to say hello 21
The red lobster biscuits are 100% better then these dry scones/biscuit thingsThose do not look good at all. They look like those red lobster biscuits that cooked way too lon
It was very weird and the shrimp was just mushy with no flavor and nothing to dip anything inThat doesn't even look remotely good. What in the world are they doing?
ExactlyI'm sure its another one of Disney's cost cutting measures not so cleverly disguised as having something to do with covid
Thank you, it just came in the mail today!Love your shirt!
The tables are nice it just is so differentWe haven't been back here yet, but I do like the addition of the tables.
I agree totally, such an iconic Disney dark ride!PPF is my favorite Fantasyland ride and a must do for me.
yes mom does buy a fair amount of her souvenirsIt's funny how that works out isn't it?
she was, best part of the mealShe looks very happy with her Lapu Lapu.
No Mojitos for me!I don't like them either.
It was one and done for us post COVID, we had great meals here 3-4x before the pandemic!I'm so sorry it was such a miss. I hope it comes back like it was before soon.
Now I'm wondering if it's more a case of "We can't bring sauce... because we don't have any sauce."This makes zero sense and wow the pot stickers need something, jus very blah without the sauce
We said goodbye to Disney until next time.
Once the EP was in Andi’s hand she takes off to do Velocicoaster.
Glad that wasn't a pain. In the ankle or otherwise.My w/c rental was done so I was going to get a 1 day rental at the park. It was an easy process and very little wait to get a w/c for the day.
Twice! Nice.She was able to ride Velocicoaster twice this morning,
I have been wanting to meet Blue and the last 2 visits it didn’t work out. This was my main goal for today! Lofty goals for an ankle injured middle aged woman haha
Caroline puts her foot down. (Gently... because of the ankle. But down.)Andi was skeptical and said the line looks too long! I told her I am waiting no matter what!
I loved meeting Blue and she is feisty.
The earliest book I can remember.We went into Seuss landing, saw Thing 1&2 and Cat in the Hat.
Wow that looks good. I'm going to have to remember this place.we decided to eat at Red Brick Pizza place. This is located on City Walk. Andi wheeled me there. We sat outside and ordered a pizza with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and basil. This was very good.
Wait... there's an AP lounge???? Is this new? I didn't know about this!I wanted to check out the AP lounge.
She really shouldn't stand so close, you know. Just in case.
Really!Side note: I love Jaws, my all time favorite movie ever!!
I randomly quote Jaws almost every day.
My kids have grown up watching and quoting Jaws and they both love the movie Greatest parenting I have ever done!
Holy decadent, Batman!
Love it when that happens. Avoid the rain and get to relax in a (covered) area.I had made us a reservation at Antojitos for 6:30pm. This was the first night of HHN and it was going to rain! We timed it just right and made it to the restaurant before the skies opened up!
Ugh. Yeah, I don't need some random stranger with his butt against my table while I'm trying to eat.This was nice except everyone was running into this area to escape the rain, that was a little annoying.
Pretty glass!
Well, poop. I love a good chimi.I had the chicken chimichanga and it was just okay.
I wish I'd known about that the last time I drove through there.We have a really authentic Mexican place by my house and their food is the bomb. I love the chimi from there so much more.
Andi brought the w/c back to Islands and I slowly walked backed to the resort. No boats running with the rain. The walk was a killer on my bad ankle.
booo!!! (and not the HHN or MNSSHP kind)This was our last day of the trip.
<whoosh! (again!)>Andi headed out to Islands on her own since I would just slow her down.
With her EP, I presume?She was able to ride Velocicoaster, Hulk, and FJ as walk ons.
Good.I took my time and was able to get late room check out until 12:00 pm.
I don't think I know this? Talking water fountain? Maybe I've been too intent on getting to the rides.We had about 10 minutes left before our virtual queue. We sat for a few minutes by the talking water fountain, it is fun listening to him.
Not bad! I didn't know they had a virtual queue for Hagrids.We limped over to Hagrid’s and had our virtual pass scanned and got in the line. This was easy to use! We waited about 20 minutes total and had a wonderful ride.
Wow, such a fun ride and so unique. I was very glad we did this.
Cutting it close... as one should!I hobbled my way back. I got back with about 15 minutes to spare before check out.
mmm... possibly the best comfort food ever?I had the tomato soup and grilled cheese. Wow was the soup ever good. Such a nice tomato flavor, I really liked this.
Whoa, that looks soooo good.
Well, shoot. We even stayed there and didn't visit.I will say Jake’s is a solid lunch option! We have been twice now and loved it both times!
Like the shirt and magnet, especially.My HHN AP t-shirt, magnet, and pin
We got checked in and the agent made sure I had my precheck. Yay! Security was quick
I bet you did! Smart of you to head over there.we found a very quiet spot in the international terminal.
Oh? I just re-watched the trailer and it looked pretty good. Never did see it, though.I watched The Invisible Man, it was okay,
Unless... I picked up my sister the other day and her flight was 15 minutes early... and there wasn't an available gate so they sat on the ramp for 20 minutes.Our flight was uneventful and landed about 15 minutes early, can’t beat that.
Poor Caroline.I was home by 10pm with a throbbing ankle!
Glad it was still wonderful.Despite my ankle, we had a very nice trip, we focused more on food, drink, and taking our time! The parks had very low crowds the whole trip and it was wonderful!
Yeah... I can totally see that.I am a fast walker and normally can walk for miles at WDW and never get sore so this SUCKED!
I’m not going to lie or sugar coat it, this did put a damper on my trip.
We stayed at 4 resorts which I wouldn’t recommend either.
Or maybe Cinderella Castle suite!!the resort staff was not having it once we told them about the bathtub floor. The more I think about it, I should have definitely asked for an upgrade to GF, lol.
Would you do it again?The Boo Bash was fun and I was glad we checked it out even though it wasn’t MNSSHP!
Really! Surprising!Do I dare say our favorite park this trip was DHS. It was so convenient using the Skyliner from Riviera and when this park has low crowds, you can get so many things done!
Thanks so much for bringing us along on your trip!Well that is a wrap on this report!
Stay tuned for some PTR plans for our December trip. I believe I have changed resorts at least 4 times now, lol
Nice. I like it.Here is the 50th poster calendar picture
We packed up and headed out to Universal round 8am. We took a Lyft. We said goodbye to Disney until next time.
I think I"m way to chicken to try this one.She was able to ride Velocicoaster twice this morning, she was loving it!
This was my main goal for today! Lofty goals for an ankle injured middle aged woman haha .
we decided to eat at Red Brick Pizza place. This is located on City Walk. Andi wheeled me there. We sat outside and ordered a pizza with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and basil. This was very good.
Antojitos
I ordered the premium original margarita and this was so good! I loved it.
WAIT!! Hold the phone! That's a POPSCILE in there?!Andi had a chicken burrito and a pineapple jalapeño margarita. She really liked hers.
I started trying to get a virtual queue for Hagrid’s and got one for around 10:40 am.
Wow, such a fun ride and so unique.
Jake’s was quiet and we were seated right away. I had the tomato soup and grilled cheese. Wow was the soup ever good. Such a nice tomato flavor, I really liked this.
I was home by 10pm with a throbbing ankle!
I should have done an ECV, I just was nervous about driving it.
I’m not going to lie or sugar coat it, this did put a damper on my trip.
Jaleo was our favorite meal, Ohana our least.
