Sounds like a great day! We always shoot to Soarin as well. It is awesome! Then a little Figment, a little Nemo, FP for TT. We have only eaten at one table service WS. You are welcome, people without kids!
It was R&C. I loved it BUT we are not going to repeat. I think we are shooting for only one TS meal that is not family-style or buffet because I have 2 under 3 and we need them to eat for free! So it looks like it will be LeCellier for lunch. But it may be Chefs de France in France or I may get wild and make it Marrakesh just to ensure we get that far around WS!
Is Remy still at CdF? That would be a big hit with my 3 but my mom would probably hate it. She HATES that movie because of the thought of rats in a kitchen. It totally skeeves her out!
Hmmm....Chefs is really good and Remy is a cute addition. He is still there. But if I had to choose from those two, I'd go with Le Cellier without a doubt.
It's going. Still training. It's a LOT to absorb but hopefully by the end of it, I'll be ready for the real thing.
You actually got a good picture of her! This is the gal Liesa said I should be for Halloween
Good luck! That time is probably more likely for you to get in. Plus you're small party so your chances are good.
Soarin', Soarin', Soarin', Soarin', and.... oh yeah, Soarin'
Favourite eating place is Le Cellier (I just love the Mushroom Filet and Maple Creme Brulee -- and the service is great too
)
I think Jen took that picture in January so I can't take the credit. I totally think you should dress as her for
MNSSHP. That would be hilarious and I bet the CMs would get a big kick out of your costume.
Glad the job is going well.
13 days!!! Holy crap the time is flying by!!
First ride in Epcot...it has always been Spaceship Earth! Combination of the big Epcot ball staring you in the face and it just feels like I'm in Epcot when I'm on that ride...plus, once I'm in World Showcase, we usually never come back and ride anything on the Future side.
Favorite eating place..lately it has been Beaches and Cream...but we love us some Fish and Chips from the Yorkshire Fish Shop!
It's not flying by fast enough for me.
I love those Fish & Chips from Yorkshire Fish Shop, they are really delicious.
At Epcot, the first place we head for is Soarin'! It literally takes my breath away when you first lift off. The music is so beautiful too. We typically grab FP's first then jump in the standby line.
My favorite CS place at Epcot is hands down Sunshine Seasons. My DH and I typically split the 1/2 rotisserie chicken and get the strawberry shortcake for dessert. Amazing!!! For TS meals...it's quite a toss up. We did Le Cellier last year and (no flames please!) we just kind of liked it. The beer cheese soup always get rave reviews on the DIS, but we just didn't like it. We've had better here at home. However, the pretzel bread was amazing. We both had the filet and it was good. We did Akershus for breakfast and it was just a typical breakfast for us, except the potatoes!!!! Yum!
My fav growing up was Alfredo's (rest in peace). It was a tradition. We're trying Garden Grill and Via Napoli next month, so maybe one of those will become my fav Epcot TS meal.
Sunshine Seasons is very very good! I love the strawberry shortcake, DELISH!!
We won't flame you for not loving Le Cellier, just means there is more room for us to eat there.
Don't forget that Yorkshire Pudding at R&C
Hmmmmm first place I head...either TT or Soarin.....although SE really IS Epcot....and it reminds me of when I was young. And didn't like Epcot
Oooh favorite eatery.....Le Cellier, The Ditch (they do have food
) Biergarten, Rose and Crown....too hard to choose...I spend a lot of time eating in WS!!
Tracy
No yorkshire pudding for me this time around. I'm not able to eat a whole lot of bread products *mourn mourn mourn delicious rolls* so I'll skip the yorkshire pudding for a few french fries.
I saw a picture of the Crab Nachos or something like that at the ditch and now I want to go there very badly! They look awesome.
YAY for 13 days!! WOOT WOOT!!! So excited for you!!!
Hmmmm...first ride...well it depends on the Park...if it's EPCOT I go on Soarin, if it's Animal Kingdom I go on the Safari, if DHS...definitely TSM, and Magic Kingdom...of course HM LOL!!!
OOOH...Rose and Crown is one of my favorites, as is Brown Derby...love them both always make a ressie at both LOL!!!
Shhh!! We haven't done DHS or AK yet, you are jumping ahead!!
SE definitely! It's just quintessential EPCOT
It really is.
After the last two trips, my first ride is almost always going to be Soarin! Depends if I get there at rope drop. Otherwise Spaceship Earth!
Favorite restaurant? I agree, almost like picking my favorite child! I've been lucky enough to enjoy almost every meal and not have any really bad ones. We loved Teppan Edo and LeCellier, but I think I'd go with either Tutto Italia or Chefs de France. They were great! It's all really too hard to pick! There's a couple left I want to try, but I'd go back to any of those again for sure!!
I'm glad you're not doing FB updates if it's just you and Marc. I was able to do some only because I would be waiting for the kids or something, so I had a few minutes here and there. I think it's important that the two of you really enjoy your trip and not be concerned with the rest of the world!!! Just keep a good journal for the TR!!
I'm the same, if I'm not there at Rope Drop then Spaceship Earth is the first ride.
I really do want to concentrate on our trip. I get stressed out by the updates too, wondering if I'm doing enough or too many. I just rather be in the moment.
I'm telling you... she's the grooviest thing since Peter Brady!!
Agreed!
I forgot to answer this question for MK! But I guess it doesn't really matter overall - we don't have a pattern of any sort.
Since Henry is little we go straight back to Fantasyland at MK. Our first ride varies - it was Pooh in December. It was Dumbo last September. This September it will probably be Dumbo again or the Teacups. If it was just Joe and I it would be Space Mountain.
Epcot - for the past couple trips Soarin' FPs were grabbed and then straight to Nemo.
As for favorite eats in Epcot - we really enjoyed Biergarten! We've only done LeCellier and Biergarten and a variety of CS' though...so not much to choose from! I'm really excited about Rose and Crown, that warm salad sounds DELISH.
Rose & Crown is so delicious. The warm salad was awesome. I'm not a huge salad fan but Jen & I decided to split it and YUM. So good!
Soarin' and fish and chips! Perfect Epcot experiences!
Lots of pixie dust that you can snag a Le Cellier lunch ressie!
Thanks. I won't be too sad if we don't. We have some great places to eat.
13 days does sound fabulous!
Your Epcot day sounds wonderful! I love your relaxed approach! It's perfect!
First ride in Epcot has to be SSE! I know every touring plan ever says not to do that but I don't care! It's just not a trip to Epcot with out SSE first!
Favorite food in Epcot, the tomato stack at Le Cellier!
I'm loving the relaxed approach too. I actually think I'm going to make a big list of everything that I might want to do besides the normal rides and such just so I don't forget of things that I've read about or want to try.
Soarin' would be the first ride!
As far as favorite place to eat the jury is still out. I would like to try a few more TS before I choose. Now, my favorite CS there would be Sunshine Seasons.
I think that is wise, you want to have the full story before you pick your favorite.
I guess for me it is a toss up between TSM or ITTBAB...ITTBAB always cracks me up and maybe makes me smile a little when I know all of the kids are afraid
