Pics Galore!!! April 2007 trip report, first time onsite!!!

Awesome pictures. Can I ask what type of camera you used. Those pictures are crystal clear.

The camera is a couple years old, It is a fuji finepix - 4.1 mp. I think the fact that we posted full size images helps!

Thanks for reading!

fterier4u - Great report! We live in Buffalo but I am originally from Fort Erie!
Oh and GO SABRES!!!
Today 12:09 PM

Cool, I can't agree more...please don't let the senators into the finals!!!!!!
 

I went to school in Buffalo- so I can relate... you guys are an adorable couple!
Keep the reports / reviews coming!
:yay: :yay:
 
So...recap....we just left Contemporary for our 7pm ADR at Ohana's. I always go to Ohana's for the first sit down meal of the trip. I love the atmosphere of the Polynesian and to me it feels very 70's, but in a very nostalgic and comforting way!

Since we arrived a good 20 minutes early we checked out the gift shop and the waterfall. The resort has such a unique smell and feel that I can just sit in the lobby and people watch for hours!

We checked in about 10 minutes to 7 and asked for a window seat....the CM said we may have to wait, told her no problem....we got time. They gave us one of the pagers and we grabbed a seat in the Tambu lounge. Unfortunately the live entertainment hadn't started so we chatted and tried to decide if we should order a drink. 2 minutes later our pager went off and we were taken to our seat....

Our server was Cousin Drew, and he was on! What a great guy, he got us right into the drinks. We ordered a Lapu Lapu and a Malibu Monkey(i think) The lapu lapu came in the pineapple and a side glass! The bartender "accidentally" made too much! I swear our server was trying to get us drunk!

Usually I find the Lapu Lapu a bit strong but tonight it was perfect! Sweet but with a nice kick. The Malibu was spot on as well. Sher excused herself to go to the bathroom so I put the watch I had bought for her on her placemat.

She got back and was quite impressed with her minnie and mickey watch! She made some promises and other arrangements that I have to leave out of this trip report...sorry!

The meal came and it was absolutely perfect. Everything was hot where it was supposed to be and cool when called for.

Salad - Honey Lime Dressing....ummm yumm? Yikes this stuff was good. When I walked by to hit the bathroom I saw them preparing the salads....the were dumping ladels full of the dressing on each bowl! No wonder it was sooooooo good.....


I love shrimp. Sher only eats them cold and with cocktail sauce so she abstained. *Sidenote here* Every year I accidentally stuff myself with shrimp and then spend the next 4 hours doubled over in agonizing pain. This year I promised to take it easy.

The scalloped Maui Potatoes. Holy crap. Best Potatoes EVER!

We were getting thirsty again.


Ordered a beer for myself and Sher had another LAPU!


Then we ate some more. Chicken Wings!!!!! YUMMMMMMMMM

We were both stuffed and the meat skewers hadn't made a showing yet! What do we do? We begged Cousin Drew to give us a minute to digest which he gladly did! He was working until 10pm so he told us to take our time. We chatted with him about the place and he told us a great story about a group of CM's that he joined for a night of drinks at Ohana's followed by a late night excursion at the Magic Kingdom. He said it was fun for the first hour but due to the dry nature of the MK soon the buzzes wore off and the headaches sunk in....

Sher was too full for skewers so I dug down and found some hidden reserve and got some steak. It was really good. Just cooked perfectly for me. Had a really nice wood grill taste to it.

Cousin Drew was getting close to the end of his shift so we got the desert and bill. Since we did not do the dining plan we paid and I think it was $110.00.

Thanks for the meal, little wood guy! Notice the groovy hat I bought! Love that hat.

Hey Sher, How did you like the meal???

Up Next - Magic Kingdom - Open until midnight!!!! We are both a bit tipsy so decide that roller coasters and flume rides are in our future!
 
Thanks for writing this TR. It's nice to see a Disney perspective from Adult Travelers. Dh and I are going along in October and I love to read about what other couples do.

We stayed at Contemporary last time we were at WDW. I agree the theming is understated, but I loved it anyway!

I love the pics!
 
Holy Crap, the Dole Whip :faint: Now that I've actually seen one, I'll for sure be disposing of a snack credit for it. :sunny:

Love your TR so far!!! Can't wait to read more! I only hope mine is 1/2 as good as the ones I've read on here.

Ok so dinner ended around 10 and we boarded the monorail to hit the Magic Kingdom. First up was "its a small world" a ride Sher had never been on.

DSCF2369.jpg



She really liked it and had fun with the different languages, being that she is studying French and German at University and being that we were a bit tipsy, this ride was way more fun than it should have been. After, we hit Big Thunder and Splash Mountains. Both were 10 minute waits. We got soaked on Splash, of course, and had wet pants the rest of the night.

We finished up the night at around 11:15PM or so and decided to go check out our room. The bus line for Pop is the farthest queue away from the entrance at MK so of course we grumbled about our feet and then marveled at the number of people in line! Some poor folks stood in line for the entire 45 minutes holding a 45 lb child in their arms! Talk about some serious stamina. I can barely hold a beer that long without a rest.

It was about a 45 minute wait before we got on the bus which means we got back to our resort at around 12:15am. Since we hadn't been given our room number yet, we checked in with registration and were told we had a room in the 50's, building 1, room 1267.

On our walk over we came across the largest Lady statue I had ever seen! And I have seen a lot of lady statues. We started a tradition of saying "Gnight Lady" or "G'Mornin Lady" as we passed....

The night before we stayed in Buffalo and the room had two double beds...we ended up sleeping seperatly as the bed was way too small! Since we had requested a king size bed we were thrilled to find this in our room!

We also had a nice little package on our table.

DSCF2279-1.jpg



Not sure what it meant, but we had free turndown service and chocolates on our pillows!


We had a night cap and unpacked and quickly turned in for the night!

End of day one! What a fantastic start to our trip, we were both so thrilled and pretty tired. Getting up at 4am is not something we are used to.

Day two was a sleep in day! But we got into a lot of fun adventures!
