Seven wonderful days at WDW, even in July. Was it hot? Yes, but we are from Texas, so what's the difference? Was it crowded? Yes! Hooray for FASTPASS!
First day began with the Keys to the Kingdom Tour. Really enjoyed it and CM Abby was great!!! Our first dinner was at Trail's End. Our first stop at this restaurant. Buffet is the best priced in WDW and we really enjoyed it.
Day 2 included a light lunch at Prime Time. We had Richard as our server for the second year in a row. He is really good. We ordered onion rings, which used to be "onion strings". Six rings for $5.99? DW and I split a sandwich and DS had meatloaf. Food was good. Atmosphere was fun. Eveing was at Hollywood and Vine. Probably our least favorite meal. Food was okay but nothing special.
Day 3 lunch was at the Electric Umbrella. I have never seen so many people. The fight for tables was incredible! Hamburgers okay. It was dinner at O'Hana's and we really enjoyed the evening. Our first stop here, but it won't be our last.
Day 4 was a little layed back. Lunch at Burger King. Dinner at Rainforest and we really enjoyed it. Shrimp, steak and chicken were all really good. We always have fun at RF.
Day 5 had us back at Electric Umbrella for lunch. Not as many people and tried the roast beef sandwiches. They were pretty good and a nice change. It was Cindy's Royal Castle for dinner. Prime Rib was excellant and so were the potatoes. We are traditionalists and, even though it is exprensive, it is always special.
Day 6 included Tusker House for lunch (good stuff) and a quick late dinner at Pecos Bill.
On Day 7 we had lunch outside the world and dinner at Crystal Palace. It was a fun way to end the evening and the trip. The characters are always so available and it is just a fun setting. The food was pretty good, as we have always found it to be.
We used DDE and saved around $35.00 (paid $50.00 for the card and had discounts totaling app. $85.00).
A great week!
