Scott & Vinny: 13 days of Magic..UPDATED *NEW* 3/4 (The End)

[MomToPrincePhillip]

Great photos Scott. I loved the gift shop ones, love to see what they've got. I think I have a problem, scoping out shops and I'm 5 months and a week away

nice looking china plates....do you remember how much they were?

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

New Fantasyland looks SO COOL. I can't wait to see it in person!!

Those place settings are really nice looking!

 

[eandesmom]

I loved that little shop, they really did a lovely job with it!

 

[heaven2dc]

I absolutely love those dishes too! Thanks for sharing the sneak preview! Can't wait to visit hopefully next year

 

[Lesprivate]

The new area is so pretty and looks like it is not even part of fantasyland. I can't wait for the mine coaster.

Thanks for the pics!!! We were there at night, and it was beautiful, but it looks so much different during the day!!

I wish I would have had more time to explore. The shop looks really nice.

Did you see anyone trying to take the menus for Be Our Guest? That was the funniest thing I saw when I got there. CM's were chasing people down for them. I can't wait til the area is fully open.

the shop was really cute but tiny.
I saw people asking if they could have it. They were told no.

Great photos Scott. I loved the gift shop ones, love to see what they've got. I think I have a problem, scoping out shops and I'm 5 months and a week away

Thank you. The shop is really cute and only a few things I really wanted but the place settings were on my list. By the time you go you wiull have a long list.

Unfortunately no I do not.

New Fantasyland looks SO COOL. I can't wait to see it in person!!

it is nice to see. It is smaller than I thought but that could be the walls still up.
They were really nice. I didn't pick them up so not sure if they were cheap or not.

they did.

I hope you get there next year. I cannot wait for it all to be open.

The new area is so pretty and looks like it is not even part of fantasyland. I can't wait for the mine coaster.

That is why it si called The new Fantasyland.
I am looking forward to it too.

Thanks for the pics!!! We were there at night, and it was beautiful, but it looks so much different during the day!!

Thanks for looking.
I never made it there at night. That would be pretty

What did we do next? We decided to leave. We accomplished the one thing we had to do today.

So pretty.

Walking through the castle. Sorry so dark.

We decided to go to the Grand Floridian and look in Basin.

We did have a few minutes wait but nothing bad.

Don’t ask. LOL

We were off on our voyage.

They really should finish this path.

The 2nd best transportation mode.

This resort is so pretty. And so pricey.

Another place I would like to stay.

Then we saw Narcoose’s. This place is really good. We have eatern here twice.

I hate the yellowish glow in the middle.

Such a pretty phone but would like it more if it was a rotary.

I just love the way it is decorated in here.

I did not find anything I wanted in Basin. I was looking for some body spray or something. They had nothing I wanted.

Then we got onto this.

Any ideas where we went?

You will have to wait for the answer.

Up next,

Our next destination.

Wow - is it just me or does the castle in your pictures look twice it's size.

Great pictures!!!!

 

[jecskc]

Stopping back in to say I am all caught up !! I love your Little Mermaid ride photos. We got to ride it when we were there Sunday and my DH didn't get a lot of photos. Vinny looks good in that red shirt. And his dance was really funny.

 

[PrincessAlways]

Hi....I'm back! Trip was great but now back to your TR!!

I loved queue at Ariel's ride! I loved the ride too!! We didn't go to visit Ariel though....maybe another trip. The BoG is beautiful!!!

As always......love your pictures!!!

 

[MEK]

That gift shop is so cute. I was in there in October. I didn't notice the cute water fountain. Clever.

I agree that the castle in the distance doesn't look like distance. Great false perspective. Is that what it's called.

Love the Grand Floridian. So pretty. I can't wait to stay there when they finally open the DVC resort.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

That would be awesome if you could walk from the Grand Floridian (and by proxy then the Poly as well) to the MK!!! It seems like it would be a bit of a hike though.

 

[pas130]

Of course I loved the GF stop

 

[SingingMom]

Hi Scott!! Remember me?! haven't been around in a bit, but came upon your TR!!! Hope you and Vinny are well!!

We have a trip coming up in January. First time NOT in the summer! After five years in a row in June, we skipped two years. Took a Bermuda cruise in a Royal suite on Celebrity. And then the trip of a lifetime this past May - Adventures by Disney Cities of Knights and Lights to London and Paris!!!!!!

Enjoying your pictures, as always, and looking forward to seeing the new Fantasyland in January!

I think it is you. No only kidding. I think the lens I used might have something to do with it.
Thanks.

Glad to hear it. I have to catch up on everyone's this weekend.
Shh don't tell him he looks good it goes straight to his head.

Hello,
Glad to hear the trip was great. The whole Ariel area is fun.
Yes it is but we only got to see the main room when you first enter.
Thanks.

I think it could be my favorite gift shop just for cuteness.
we can go with that.
me too. I am so excited for it.

That would be awesome if you could walk from the Grand Floridian (and by proxy then the Poly as well) to the MK!!! It seems like it would be a bit of a hike though.

It think it would be but would be a fun walk on a cooler day.

Welcome and of course I do.
We are doing very well thank you.
January is a great time.
Oh London and Paris. We did in 2009 (not Disney) and it was so much fun.
Thanks and hope you enjoy it. It is a fun area.

Well not sure if you can read this but it says “Yacht & Beach Club”. It was time to start heading over to dinner.

We got on the bus at 4:06pm. We arrived at 4:26pm. We did stop at “Swan & Dolphin” first.

I told you we arrived. LOL

This resort is so pretty. I would love to stay here one day.

I was sitting in one of the chairs and this is looking at the entrance to the Captain’s Grille.

Lorrie and Kristel arrived first. They sat and we chatted for a few minutes and then Kathy, Chris and Lily arrived. Our party was here.

Here is Lily.

One where you can see her face.

Of course I took a pic of the sign.

I went up and told the hostess we were there and I got a buzzer. It was less than 5 minutes.

Did Lily want to learn to climb? Or did she want something?

It was something and that something was Lorrie. LOL

We were brought inside and we got the same table as 2 years ago.

A happy family.

Now I lost the receipt for this meal so this will be done by photos. Let me just say they have a price fixe here and that is what we had.
Captain's Grille Experience
Choose one from each category $29.99
NO substitutions

Scott:
Drink - Captain's Mai Tai - Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, BOLS Amaretto, pineapple juice, lime juice and Grenadine $8.75

App: New England Clam Chowder - creamy chowder with clams, potatoes, and vegetables
Ent: Lump Crab Cake

Des: Bananas Foster cheesecake

Vinny: Okay I am not sure what he had for app or des.
App: Salad or clam chowder. I will say clam chowder.
Ent: Rosemary-brined Pork Tenderloin

Des: House-made Gelato I am guessing at that but he does enjoy gelato.

I have no clue of the amount. Sorry

Review: We both thought it was very good. I really enjoyed mine. App to des were delicious. The clam chowder was so good as were the crab cakes. Wish they were bigger but it filled me up.

We will definitely eat here again.

Some photos as we left.

I know I went potty at this time and was impressed by the bathroom here.

I think I will stop here.

Up next,

Where are we going next? It is within walking distance.

 

[tazdev3225]

Of course Lily wanted to climb me, babies like me. It's the grandmom in me.

That monkey lamp was creepy looking from my vantage point.

OK I know I was there and I know I didn't have anything to drink but I have a totally different memory. You got the Mai Tai and not the Bahama Mama? I thought you went with that after asking about mine at the Turf Club.

I do think Vinny had a soup of some kind I remember that. I do remember the pork dish. Didn't realize it was a tenderloin as they called it a belly on the menu. I think I would have liked that better than my steak. Worst meal ever. Did he get the gelato? I know it had the something in it he didn't like. I thought he had the cheesecake also and he didn't like that hard crunchy thing.

I need to pay more attention or take better notes. Or get a drink I think I have a better memory after a drink.
