Ready, Set, Let the Games Begin! - Link to new PTR/TR!

Getting closer! We noticed the portions at the kiosks weren't very big if sharing them between two plenty of room for lovely fish and chips later :-) What a lovely day you have planned. Lol re checking out a moment to 11 am.

At the Animal Kingdom ( I am always first ready out of me and DW despite being disabled lol ) .. I went to get bell hop to collect our owners locker on the way back from refilling my mug but the lovely bell hop lady travelled back to the room faster than me with my rollator. When I got back Jo was standing at the open door to bell hop in just a towel staring at me annoyed but I didn't dream bell hop would be that fast. Usually about 30 mins later...lol

Love the look of that tub in your room! After EPCOT very welcome! :-)
 


Then that night we have a 5:45 dinner reservation with PIO and her family at Raglan Road. I imagine that we should be down at the bus stop by 5:00 to get there on time. I’ve never eaten there before, but we did eat at Cooke’s of Dublin on our last trip. They had the BEST Fish & Chips there! Even better than the Yorkshire County Fish place.

I’m hoping to try a few other things in addition to the Fish & Chips and perhaps we might share a few things amongst our group to accomplish that! We will probably shop a little before heading back to the ranch. We have an early day the next morning!

Sharing is good. :thumbsup2




There's a few I'm skipping. Like the Vegan one... We spent $12-25 at each one. So about the cost of a Disney meal for us.

I suspect I won't be able to skip past that one, with my pesky vegetarian DH! He'll want to try everything there. :rolleyes1
 
The way you wrote "cooking" is how I refer to what I do in the kitchen. In all fairness, if you are making eggs, you are really cooking. Granted, it is fast, but someone who "cooks" like I do can still screw that up.

Loved all the food porn. I was going to ask you about the little chocolate thing until you said you cannot get it anymore. Bummer. I am sue you'll find a suitable replacement snack though.

I love the open floor plan with the tub in the DVC room. One day I will enjoy that. Another DISmeet this day is cool. I think it is really cool that you are catching PIO twice during her cross country vacation.

I think it's really cool too. :thumbsup2
 
I am hungry just looking at those pictures and OH wishing I was going to F&W this year. Yum yum and yum!

Love Raglan Road, it is one of our favorites.
 

Oh the food pics!! It is making me even more anxious (if that's possible) for the next 50 days to fly by so I can be in the WS sampling all of that awesome stuff!

I can't wait to stay at BCV sometime, especially during F&W! We keep saying we'll try it but it's so hard for us to leave OKW!
 

When you add in my last week and plans for the upcoming weeks there's a lot going on! I was at Disneyland three times last week. That's more times than I've been in any one month this year much less in one week! We had a very tasty Monte Cristo test, lots of shopping and some very fun DISmeets.


Wednesday we went out to the park for a DISmeet with Podsnel and Jenny was there too.



Jenny didn't stick around for drinks and apps, but after we had a little relaxing time Fran went shopping and out did herself. So much so that we actually had to be helped out of the park and back to our car! :scared1:







And this was "only at one store" as Fran put it! :rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl:
Then on Sunday we went back to meet up with Podsnel and anewmac






Hey Girlfriend! :wave2: I am just getting back to DIS again- clicked on your TR, and up came our day(s)! So much fun, hangin with you all!:dance3: And that shopping of Fran's...OMG, you were REALLY not kidding about how much she was going to buy when we went in there! :rotfl: So glad I was there for the experience.

I need to catch up and find out what's up with you two. Soooo....I am off to read....:goodvibes
 
I like raglan road! The Dalkey Duo is very yummy (although I remember liking one of the sausages better than the other)- I bet Fran would like it, it's kind of like pigs in blankets. :goodvibes

So excited for you!! Wish I was going to be there!

I need to find the house thread.....can you leave a trail of breadcrumbs for me please???:flower3:
 
Oh make sure you get the ice cream martini!! Did you see my pics?

Where is THAT? I definitely want to try that one!

Oh so you don't get ALL the drinks too lol

No, we mostly go for the food and pick two of the drinks from a kiosk. We have to be able to drive our scooters, you know drinkin' and drivin' is bad! :rotfl2:

Your plans look great! We really liked Raglan Road. Solid food, lots of beer, good service. Dinner will be so fun. The meets are going to be a blast.

Can't wait to read how you like both resorts. We haven't stayed at either.

We don't call bell services until right before check out too. I think on our last trip, with groceries, we initially had 32 bags including groceries. :lmao:

Yeah, I'm not sure we've ever got away on a switch with less than 20 bags. I'm not sure that our fridge will be as full on this trip, we have a lot of ADRs planned!

Yeah, it's funny, what I consider "cooking" is usually more than a lot people ever do. And eggs are a real art. I hardly order eggs out any more because I like mine a particular way and most places cook them to death, and I HATE that. I like them "easy" even if they are scrambled and almost no place gets that. If there is any brown on scrambled eggs they are inedible. I want them to still be almost runny, but not quite and I can't communicate that to any place so now I just don't eat them out any more.

I love the old school DVC rooms. While I love BLT and AKV for their two bathroom one bedrooms, I love the older ones for their giant tubs!

Poor Jo! That's something like Fran would do to me and I would be standing there in my towel! LOL!

Yeah, I'm sure he will!

What's even cooler is that we might meet up every day since we have adjoining rooms!

I am hungry just looking at those pictures and OH wishing I was going to F&W this year. Yum yum and yum!

Love Raglan Road, it is one of our favorites.

I hope it becomes one of ours, I have been dying to go there for years!

I can understand that. We stayed there one night for our first time a couple years ago and I can't wait to go back. I want to do a trip there when the parks are secondary and we are mainly enjoying the villa, cooking some great meals and entertaining on the patio!

We had such a good time with you as well, we are still laughing about the Salmon!

There are links in my signature. I have three active TRs/PTRs and those are the ones in a larger font closest to my name. If you go left to right, I believe the third one is the "Saga of our Disney home" and you can find the link there. We are getting close, but still not there yet. We are supposed to close escrow while we are on vacation in WDW now. :faint: Not that I wanted to that, but that is where we are at. I hope this all comes together and ties itself all in a bow soon. I'm sick of worrying about everything!
 
I LOVE salmon!!! I wish I had grabbed more salmon napkins, though- they go quick! :rotfl2:
 
Did they do F & W pins previous years? If so does Fran get them? I will get one if they do one. I love to collect pins also. :-)
 
They have ice cream martinis & ice cream macarons now too!

I liked the martini so much I got two last trip!

What go you mean where the bakery used to be? What happened to the bakery? :mad:

It moved and expanded. :goodvibes

You know where you could walk out of the (old) bakery and into that other section with chairs? Now the bakery is in that other building - in the back - with multiple lines.

Whew! So they took out the perfume shop?

I don't think so? You know where the movie dumped out? There was a gift shop and then on the one side some seats? I think they removed some of the backstage (storage?) area and took up some of the gift shop area to make the bakery. They squeezed the gift shop stuff in a little. The seating area is about the same size but they added in more tables and stuff to make it more crowded (typical disney - lol).
 
Anyways there is now a BIGGER bakery and also an ice cream shop. Which serves alcohol. Win-win-win (the 3rd win is my butt... getting bigger... lol)

I totally forgot about the gift shop. I'm glad they made the bakery bigger, it was claustrophobic going in there. And excited to try the ice cream shop in December popcorn::

It opens at noon. We were there about a quarter til and it was locked. Went in slightly after noon and it was empty. Ice cream martinis are like $11 but you get 2 decent sized scoops of gelato and the booze - so a good deal for disney.
