[ILMICKEY]

Having a blast reading your report. We are doing Ohana's for the first time in November. I now know I need to "pace" myself or I will never get to the dessert!! Can't wait for more!!

 

[sunlver]

So enjoying your trip report I expecially like the pictures. Cant wait to read more

 

[schmoopypoo]

Lovin this TR! You are Sher are so cute together and your pics are great! I have almost the exact same picture of me with Lady and DFi has one with Tramp. Anyways, can't wait for the rest.

Awesome TR! I always enjoy the fact that "our" (as in Canadians') TRs always seem to focus a fair bit on the beverages consumed during our travels...

 

[Momof2princess]

They sure did - they had a coupon book for beer vouchors!

I can honestly say I did not know they made such a thing (makes note to self..hehehe)


Can't wait for the next installment

Very cute report. Can't wait to read (and SEE) the rest.

And.

For those who haven't in the past. Get the Dole Whip FLOAT. OMG. They, too, have PINEAPPLE in them. I enjoyed it best while watching Hallo-Wishes!!!

mmmm. pineapply goodness fo' sho'.

And I'm checking my planning to see if I included O'Hana for next time. Are the sticky wings the same as those served at Kona? Those were the best sticky wings I have EVER tasted. EVER.

From one Canadian to Another...

the TR!

The watch (DH-did you see that watch????)

Congrats on your first on-site stay! We think POP is great!

Looking forward to reading more.

Maybe they had heard the song "Its 5 o'clock Somewhere" and took it to the extreme...

Yeah, it sure sounds better than its 7:30 somewhere

Either that or they had serious issues about flying!

 

[TKDisneylover]

Great start to your trip report. I like your style of vacationing in the World, sounds similar to DH & I. Looking forward to more!

Thanks for posting comments everyone! Ok on to Day 2!!!!



So we (I mean I!!!!) woke up around 9am. Sher woke then grunted at me and went back to sleep. I wanted to run at least once this week so I figured I would do it today as it was a light walking day and I didn't want to burn out. Out the door I went and I proceeded around the resort at a very light pace. Up through the main resort area, into the 60's, then the 70's and through the 90's, I then found the back walkway that ran along the lake and wound my way around it. Crossed the bridge and back and headed down memory lane. Some of the trivia and signs were quite neat! If you get a chance I recommend a walk along it!

Odd to see the mothballed buildings on the other side of the lake. Eerie. Hope they complete them someday!


On way back to room I stopped at Everything POP and grabbed a souvenir mug of coffee ....

and a couple of adult platters for breakfast!

Coffee was Disney good (read barely drinkable with 18 sugars and 32 creamers). Breakfast was a nice surprise....when I watched them prepare it I had not so good expectations, Lunch Lady!

On the way to the room I noticed intrusion signs of DISSERS! My field guide states that they like to present LIME GREEN warning signs and they also decorate their dwellings with twigs, bark and towels shaped like animals.

I surprised Sher with breakfast in bed and we watched some Resort TV!!!! UGH!!!! The Top 7 thing always popped on when you turned the TV on. Curses!

We decided to hit the pool for some relaxation. I snagged a paper and Peoples from the Food Court (and a couple beers as the pool bar hadn't opened yet, I think it opens at noon!) Here I am judging the plane guys for drinking at 7:30 am when the very next day I am doing the same thing. I was in the sun by the pool, though, so I can sleep at night! Shame on those guys!

The hippy dippy pool is awesome. Water temps were perfect. Very warm. Lifeguards are very attentive as well, I noticed them a few times being very diligent with pool rules and safety issues! Thumbs up to those guys.

Here is a pic of me pretending to be knowledgeable!

After our swim and beverages we were getting a bit hungry! Our plans called for lunch at the resort but with park hoppers burning a hole in our pockets and EPCOT being but minutes away we changed our plans!

Once again, the busses were fantastic, we waited barely 8 minutes before a bus picked us up and we were door to door in under 10 minutes.

EPCOT!!!!

Sky looks scary but it was actually beautiful out....

We beelined to World Showcase and started in Canada! (we still hadn't decided where to have lunch!)

Canada wasn't doing it for us today, probably the cause being our desire to flee Canada not 36 hours prior! We kept walking. UK next door!

We stopped and pretended to make some important calls...you know, Sell Sell! NO I SAID BUY!!!

We saw a celebrity!

She seemed very important, lines of people to talk to her and get her autograph. Was told this is Mary Poppins! OHHH I have heard of her!

Hunger pains!

I remembered a tale of the Tangerine Cafe, so off we went for Morocco!

We split the Lamb Shawarma sandwich and it was incredible. We sat outside and Mo'Roccan started playing....great timing!

I have to get back to work, more later tonight!

Very cute report. Can't wait to read (and SEE) the rest.

And.

For those who haven't in the past. Get the Dole Whip FLOAT. OMG. They, too, have PINEAPPLE in them. I enjoyed it best while watching Hallo-Wishes!!!

I couldn't agree more! I have never had sticky wings so can't confirm!

From one Canadian to Another...

the TR!

The watch (DH-did you see that watch????)

Congrats on your first on-site stay! We think POP is great!

Looking forward to reading more.

The watch was a big hit!

Yeah, it sure sounds better than its 7:30 somewhere

Either that or they had serious issues about flying!

Nah, they were just partyin! Prepping for a long sail.

Great start to your trip report. I like your style of vacationing in the World, sounds similar to DH & I. Looking forward to more!

Thanks! We are definitely there for the food and drink!

I can honestly say I did not know they made such a thing (makes note to self..hehehe)

Thank you! We have soooo many pics.

Yes, tell the staff you need some time, they seemed very accommodating!

 

[soupy11]

great TR! But, could someone tell me what's in a Dole Whip again?????

PINEAPPLE! And some other less interesting and less tasty stuff.

I think he may have mentioned it had strawberry.

Great trip report. The pics are all great. My fav is the Maui Potatoes. I make them at home all the time and have never seen a pic of them or seen them live and in person. Cant wait till Sept to get to take my own pic. LOL
Keep up the good work.

Yes, those potato's are sinful. Thanks!

Love the TR cant wait to read more'

OK! More on the way!

Can't wait to hear more!
