Our trip to our "Happy place" w/ pics & videos!!*new 7/7!!*Last day Magic Kingdom**

[whogirl'smom]

Hi, new subscriber here! I found your link while reading another trip report and yours got me hooked, so I never went back to the other one! I just got caught up and have to say your little Rae is just the cutest thing! I'm waiting to see what her next antics are!

We tried Coral Reef last week on our trip for DH's bday and loved it! I had the same thing you did, but with the caesar salad. This was the 2nd best steak we had all week, after Le Cellier. Your kids' chicken probably came with fries and broccoli, that's what our DD got. Yes, that was the only vegetable my child had all week (I know, bad mama.lol) She and I just don't eat raw veggies, except salad stuff. No celery, carrots, etc.

I can't wait for the next update!

I trimmed the quote down a bit just to address the things I wanted instead of making the quote a mile long...lol

This was where I chose to eat on my birthday.... I loved it!
We too had about a 15min wait for our table (I don't know if it is because they are so popular, or people linger longer due to the fish tanks, or because they just don't have good time management, but they do seem to run behind)

We sat right next to the tank and I got a few good pics.... (I will post them on my tr If I ever get to our Epcot day)

Apparently, GP and I have the same taste, cause we both seemed to have ordered the same thing... I too liked the crab claws but not the salad part!
The potatoes were the best that I had all week!! Actually the only time I even finished the potato portion of my meal....

If we do get to return to Disney next year, I am not sure if we will eat here again, but like you it is mostly because there are so many other places to try! But other than that, I would return!

Hi! Glad you enjoyed your meal at CR. I can't wait to see the pictures.You made me remember the potatos-yummy!

Great update.
Sounds like your little ones needed to be feed
Glad the bribe worked. I am going to have to remember that for our trip

Hi! Bribes do work with my group...well usually.

this bracelet is so cute!



that girl is such a handful! you're gonna have fun in a few years with her.

Hi,Dawn! Rebekah still wears that bracelet alot and gets tons of compliments. Rae is a huge handful,I hope it gets better over the years instead of worse.

ok all caught up. great update. love the pics.

Thanks,Scott!

I have to reply to keep my count up

Wow - Rae is something to climb all the way up there! Were you looking over your shoulder as you speed walked out of Epcot??

Hi! We were definitely watching over our shoulder!Rebekah was laughing but Peyton just knew they were going to chase us out and take our park tickets away.

*Waves*
I am still here... I am just a really, really bad lurker. Sorry!
I will try to be better about posting... I promise!

Hi! Thanks for coming out and letting me know you're still here.

 

[dismom9761]

So much to catch up on. I have to make this quick. Sorry. I couldn't really detect a southern accent but I'm sure if you spoke more I could ... . I think it's a little funny that Rae responded, "I had to," in regards to touching that woman's sock. Just a curious little soul but you caught her in time and did the right thing. I am thinking everyone thinks the same about the Coral Reef?

Hi,DM! Don't apologize for quick responses. I have gotten the same way because I have subbed to so many threads. I haven't really heard too many BAD things on CR,either people love it or just like it.

when we went to coral reef in May..it was the first time since I was about 10 or so so like 12 years later..and i was expecting it to be like all fish that you would find at like red lobster and it def was not lol. I can't even remember what I got, maybe the mahi mahi and it was "okay" but the dessert, chocolate wave was amazing. I did the whole divers sign/menus for my parents anniversary and I must say that was prolly the best part of the whole meal.

Now the fam wants to return to Coral Reef in feb..eh..I'll go but maybe try something different.

Hi! I wish I had done the diver thing.We saw it while we were there and the kids thought it was really cool. I would go back,just not my first choice.

That Rae is such a stinker

What a cutie-patootie

Great pictures of the all the food

Okay - we must be the only oddballs that loved Coral Reef. We had the steak dinner and the girls had the chicken. It was delicious.

I loved the atmosphere of the place also.



It's definately on our list of ADR's next time around.

Hi! I loved the atmosphere too. The steak was good to me but not as good as Le Cellier.

Great update. Sorry you didn't like your dinner too much. It didn't look that appetizing to me either. But the pictures were great. Too bad you didn't get a chance to ride Mission Space. And for only a 5 minute wait on test track. Boo for the 70 minute wait on Soarin.

Hi,Tat! I hated to miss Mission Space too.We love it!

Good luck with that Amy, don't wear yourself out though or be a stranger

Wooohooo I'm first, well after you

Are you saying we're all addicted : J/K



Good job it wasn't a dining report I could never remember either!



That's so pretty

I still have to try TT in the dark, great photo

Little monkey!

OMG I can just picture that

Hi,Jo! IThere is NO WAY I would do a dining report. She is a little monkey and is constantly scaring me. Maybe after we go shopping we could ride TT in the dark....

Rea is such a cutie. She reminds me a lot of my Middle. Jo-Ann would be the one to climb up something.
Great Update. I am kinda bummed the Coral Reef wasn't a awsome place. I have always wanted to try it. But for the price I am not sure it is worth it.

I love the pics. I love the necklace and bracelet.

Hi! So you have a kid like Rae?Does it get any easier??I actually have people that I barely know wish me luck with her. If I had to pay for the meals I would hesitate going back.I have been spoiled by having Free Dining on my last three trips.

 

[dismom9761]

Another great installment! Test Track is the bomb! I did it 4 times and just loved it! Seems like eveyone has the same opinion on Coral Reef
Love Rebekah's bracelet!

Hi,Leyla! Thanks!Test Track is one of our favorites.

CR has never sounded too appealing to me, and the more I read, the more I'm not interested!

I love the pictures where the older two are looking a little grumpy and Rae's just beaming away!

Good luck with the job hunt.

Hi,CE! Thanks!Rae was working hard at being "good" so that she could go to Nemo.

Sorry you didn't like you meal! We've never dined there before and perhaps we're not missing much! I love Le Cellier so much that I can't part with it to dine somewhere else! hehe

We love test track at night too!

Hi,Lisa! I wish we had done Le Cellier this trip but we are in January.

Apples are dessert? Huh? Not in my world!

I've never seen Test Track with a 5 minute wait! That's awesome!

Hi! The kids' choices on the dining plan is a sore subject with me but I agree.Apples=dessert?

Hey! Just subbing in!! I wil post when I get caught up!!!!

Hi! and Thanks for joining us!

Hi! and Thanks so much for reading my report.I think the only vegetable my kids had were french fries...no wait ,is mac'n'cheese a vegetable?

I will post another update tonight. Or actually it will probably be early morning... Have a good evening!

 

[Trentmom]

Another great update Dismom

Love the pic where Rae is all smiles and the other two are looking grumpy

I think that lollipop sucker revived the other two as the one with them amd their suckers, they were all smiles


I can't wait to get ds on test track on our next trip. I love that ride

OMG....that is so something that ds would do....climb on that and to the top....

Thank goodness, you got her before she feel...

Keep those updates coming.

You are doing great


I saw one of my buds was here...so HI LEELEE

 

[Momof2wCF]

Hi,Sharky! Thanks for all the compliments and I am glad she didn't fall too. That would have been fun to explain at the first aid tent....

Hi!Thanks for reading...


Sorry no update as promised last night.Rae has a cold so I layed down with her to get her to sleep and fell asleep myself. Everyone have a great day!

Been there, done that! Hope she feels better soon and the rest of you don't get to share the joy!

I have to say that we are one of those that had a good experience with Coral Reef... everyone liked their food and the atmosphere was gorgeous! I also liked the fact that the fish tank kept the kids occupied and entertained. Guess it just depends on when you go... I've heard reviews of all types.

How's GM's ankle doing now? What a good sport she was! I'm a bit concerned about our Aunt Rae... 2 1/2 weeks till our trip and she just got an attack of gout in her left ankle!

Kathy

 

[Leger13]

love the pictures from coral reef. I've never eaten there before but that steak looks scrumptious!! It makes my mouth water just looking at the picture. Yum! I hope to get an ADR there for next sept.

Glad your grumpy children were replaced with happy children by the end of the meal.

the presentation on the deserts is beautiful. That stinks that they weren't all as good as they looked. I probably wouldn't of wanted to eat a desert that was that pretty anyways

 

[Leger13]

for getting to ride nemo again. That ride is so cute.

I love Beka's bracelet

and omg im at the TT pic. Love the faces! ive never ridden TT at night. I'm sure it's a blast.

also the picture of you guys in front of th nemo ride is so cute.

great updates!!

 

[Leger13]

I saw that you posted that Rae is I hope she feels better soon this time of year is the pits..seems like everyone gets sick.

 

[hlrababy]

I have always wanted to eat at Coral Reef!

Hi,Kathy! Glad you had a good experience with CR,I wouldn't call ours bad just not as good as some others.GM's ankle is much better.It still swells after she's been on her feet all day but no pain. Poor Aunt Rae! Hope she gets better fast.

Hi,Carla! Most of the food wasn't too bad but GM had really looked forward to her dessert and almost spit out the first bite.

for getting to ride nemo again. That ride is so cute.

I love Beka's bracelet

and omg im at the TT pic. Love the faces! ive never ridden TT at night. I'm sure it's a blast.

also the picture of you guys in front of th nemo ride is so cute.

great updates!!

Her bracelet is adorable and only cost $5.

I saw that you posted that Rae is I hope she feels better soon this time of year is the pits..seems like everyone gets sick.

Unfortunately Rae seems to be coming down with Croup. Not only does she feel bad but I have to watch Peyton.Croup hits him hard because of his asthma.

I have always wanted to eat at Coral Reef!

Hi! Definitely try it if you get the chance!More people seem to like it than not like it.

 

[DisneyJo]

Maybe after we go shopping we could ride TT in the dark....

Deal Stop teasing me as I will hold you to it you know!!

Sorry no update as promised last night.Rae has a cold so I layed down with her to get her to sleep and fell asleep myself. Everyone have a great day!

You obviously needed the sleep too, hope Rae's feeling better today

 

[marivaid]

Sorry to hear Rae's sick

You can catch so many nasty things off stranger's socks

 

[DisMomAmy]

Zachary LOVED the Nemo ride too. It was his favorite of the whole trip. We wanted to eat at Coral Reef, but it didn't work out with our schedule changing around, etc. I think Zachary would have loved it, but Alex probably would have gotten bored with the fish pretty quickly. It was one of those things we were trying to do for Zach since we focus so much energy on Alex... sorry your experience wasn't great.

Hi,Amy! The restaraunt actually kept Rachel pretty interested.Maybe next time you can try it...

 

[aldisneygrl]

I stopped in the giftshop to buy Rachel's promised sucker and Peyton bought a necklace and Rebekah bought a bracelet.

Wow! All your kids are great shoppers! Those are some great buys!


We thought about riding Soarin' but the wait time was 70 min.

YIKES!!!

We walked over toward Test Track,taking our time and looking around.I just love Epcot at night.

We stopped at the booth with the balls that cost waay too much.

Well at least you can play for free!

I stopped and bought the kids light up necklaces.

Test Track had a five minute wait! We could ride this ride a thousand times,especially at night.

That's because all the people were over at Soarin'

We got off Test Track and Rebekah and Peyton wanted to ride Mission Space.I couldn't remember what the height requirement was so I pulled out a map.I looked up from the map and Rae was gone! Then I saw her...she had climbed almost to the top of this!

OMG! I jumped over the chain and grabbed her.I ran back to the other two and without a word we speed walked toward the exit.It was time to go before we were asked to leave Disney world!

Well at least you were able to GRAB her and not have to CATCH her as she was trying to leap from the top!

Did I read that you are looking for a job? Did something happen to your current job, or are you looking for an additional job? Hope you find something.

Hi,Allie! Yes,I am glad she wasn't falling too!

I am looking for a second job for evenings and weekends. Things have gotten extremely tight here and we need to get some bills paid off and Christmas bought.We usually have a Christmas fund but this year we weren't able to do that.

I hope you find something that suits your needs. I know you have a family to cart around to ball games and such, so GOOD LUCK!

Have you gotten any racing info yet? I think it was supposed to mailed in October.
