Breaking News!!!!!!

Sorry I haven't been around much. It's been crazy with Fran being sick and getting the new house together, but today she finally came out of her fog enough for me to put a 2014 calendar in front of her face and talk WDW dates.

We just booked a trip to WDW for May 29- June 5. You will never guess where! We got a Standard view one bedroom at the VGF!!!!!

I haven't had a chance to make a ticker, and we still have a few weeks to plan ADRs!!!!!

I HATE you!!!


WOW! Can't wait to see it!

WOW! Can't wait to see it!

I've heard that the pictures just don't do them justice and that the rooms are gorgeous!

Congratulations!!!

I thought that I was going to be overlapping with you, but I guess it's Paula and Jo. That's cool too! Too bad we all didn't overlap.

TPC here we come I better warn them ! okay where are we eating ?

Well we definitely have to plan a meal somewhere, and if you like, you can even come over for dinner in our room one night. I plan on not making too many dinnertime ADRs just so we have some relaxing nights in the room. We are already taking your recommendation for dinner at 1900 Park Fare, and I have a few others in mind....but that's another PTR!

That is great news to hear that you will be staying at the new VGF next year.

I can't wait!

Great news! We over lap! We are going May 28th -June 4th for the Star Wars weekends ( well hoping we catch one ) . Staying at SSR. Hope we can dismeet! VGF wonderful! congrats.

Star Wars weekends is one of our reasons for choosing those dates, and availability.

YAY! how exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will miss you by just a little over a week, wah! Very Very exciting.

Well, I will probably be here for your DLR band trip. BTW ours is tomorrow! 8 of us in a GV! :

Woot woot! Congrats!!!

Thanks!

That's fantastic. I cannot wait to see your trip pictures.

I can't wait to take my trip pictures!

I know, eh? I can't wait.

Yeah Alison. Totally envious but still YEAH ALISON. People have been raving that the finished product is better than any picture so I can't wait for your take on it - and Fran's.

The only thing that bums me out is that they didn't take the BLT or AKV model of two bathrooms over to VGF. I can't wait to see the beautiful rooms in person!

That is amazing news. I hope you will have a wonderful time and I can't wait to see the photos.

I will be so happy to stay at another monorail resort. I've been to the GF twice before, but never in a villa!

Thursday morning arrived quickly. This morning we had an ADR at the Cape May Café, PIO had organized this meet up and there were going to be quite a few of us present for this meet. We all arrived shortly before our 8AM ADR and opted to take some group photos in the lobby.

So the folks here are from left to right, franandaj, twofeathersmac, bobbiwoz, PrincessInOz, and Luvchefmic.



We were seated shortly. Our seating wasn’t ideal as we were at two tables for four, so we didn’t get to chat much with the other table.



All the food for the buffet was in this one area.



First I took my pictures of the buffet offerings. A staple of any good Disney breakfast buffet. Mickey Waffles



And the toppings



The hearty parts



Pastries



Carved Meat



French Toast and bannans



Quiche and grits



Oatmeal and I don’t know what the other stuff is!



The healthy parts







Lox and Bagels



Yummmm Cheese!



And more pastries

With pictures taken, I headed back to the buffet to start choosing my entrees, except I looked up to see Goofy heading to our table. I couldn’t miss a picture with the Goof, so I headed back over to the table for a photo-op.





Then it was off to the buffet for my first plate. Fran had already filled and started on eating her first plate when I was ready to take pictures, so I missed her first plate.



She went back for another plate and so did I. Can you tell whose is whose?





Then Minnie came around.







I think Donald came by right after Minnie.



While we took this picture, Fran said something to Donald about not letting too many people smack him in his tail feathers, and he started laughing.





We both finished up our breakfasts with a bowl of oatmeal.



Then they brought PIO’s DH a birthday cupcake and a card. I think that today was his actual birthday, but we celebrated it quite a few times during the course of the trip.



Donald came by again and we took the opportunity to catch a server who snapped this picture of the group of us.



Everyone else had FP+ for TSMM so they all skeedaddled off to DHS. I knew better than to plan something like that for us. We went back to the room and took a nap to sleep off all that food!

 

[PrincessInOz]

What great pictures!

I haven't checked DH's set yet to see if he captured it but I might have to swipe the one of the 5 Dis-sers at the start of the morning from here to include in mine when I get up to this point.

Pity about the table layout. I didn't get a chance to chat with you guys, Bobbi or her sister properly. Otherwise, I had a great time at breakfast this day. It sure was nice catching up with Ruthie.

 

[Pinkocto]

That spread looks mighty delicious! The characters are so cute in their beachy outfits.

Love your dress, so cute!

 

[Dis_Yoda]

Nothing wrong with having a trip revolving around eating. I know I did that. Looks like you had a lovely breakfast.

 

[kmedina]

It is so neat to read about a DISmeet on the opposite side of the country in each respective report, since PIO is still reporting on your meet at Disneyland. It looks like you had another great meet. How awesome that you got so many meets at once! I love the way WDW celebrates special occasions. We had five restaurants booked at Disneyland noted with our anniversary but not one mentioned anything. We had a couple at WDW mention it. For Xander's 5th birthday, almost every restaurant mentioned it. Glad WDW took care of PiO's DH.

I love breakfast at Cape May. The buffet looks good, but the bananas look dreamy. Xander is so allergic to bananas, so I cannot bring them into our house. Whenever I see them on a trip, I get excited. They can prep far from him and clear the plate. There is no risk, so I indulge. Bananas are the best!

 

[mvf-m11c]

Very nice pictures of the food porn and from the DISMeet.

 

[dolphingirl47]

Thanks for sharing the photos. I have a breakfast ADR at Cape May Cafe for our last morning and have been second guessing this, but the food looks delicious and I love the beach costumes for the characters. So I think I will stick with this.
