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

[PrincessAlways]

OKW!!! That's where our family trips usually end up!! The villas are HUGE!! We do love it there. I've eaten at Olivia's a few times. Never had the Sultry Seahorse!! I'll have to remember that one for the November trip!! Thanks!

I love those carvings too. They are amazing!

 

[Lesprivate]

We had breakfast at Olivia's and it was so disappointing that we cancelled our dinner ADR there.

 

[ATLTruebie]

You didn't get poked, hehehe I haven't been in a while too at "it's tough to be a bug"
I have never been to Olivia's, it looks very pretty.
And your drink looked good.
Can't wait for the next update.

 

[scottny]

Which carving is your favorite Scott?

We've never eaten at Olivia's. The food looks delicious, and the drink. I'd happily take it right now.

I don't really have a favorite. I love them all.
I wish I was there right now. This weather is bothering me. Now it should get nice here.

They are.

No I did not. I was mad. Not really but I was expecting it. We do it every trip. A must for us.
You should try it sometime.

I think pasta dishes in general can fall short at Disney, or most places. Unless I am really confident in the lcoation, I skip them.

Evan loved the shrimp and grits, I had a few bites of the grits and they were heavenly!

how long did the boat-dtd-boat trip take? The boys are dying to go back but I was thinking we'd do turf club from the treehouses instead. Hmmn.

 

[scottny]

Once we finished our meal we left to get back on the boat again. We were meeting Lorrie & Kristel at DTD. Looking at the dock when we boarded.

Some blurry scenery. LOL

Wish I was there now.

Then we got closer to DTD. One day I do want to see this.

Looking pretty all lit up.

Then we had arrived.

We did go in here and Vinny bought himself a t-shirt.

We did have to take a few pics.

We have met up with Lorrie and Kristel by now and let me tell you we did not do anything but talk. It was a great night I thought.
We parked ourselves outside of here.

The above pic was taken at 8:27pm.

Now I know Kristel and Vinny went into the store to look around. I tried to take a photo of Lorrie’s chair.

Major fail on my part. LOL

Around 10 Kristel and I went to Ghiradelli and we got shakes and stuff. I had the peanut butter quake shake and OMG it was so good.
Like I said we just sat around and talked. Next thing I knew it was 11. We decided to leave then because both boats were ending at 11:30. We said our goodbyes and we were on our way.

We got to the boat and the balloon was working (windy earlier) and that thing was swaying like crazy. I could believe how far it went down (the top part) and then it went up with people. I would not have gotten on. I do not have pics but maybe Lorrie does.

That concluded our second day at WDW.

Up next,

Epcot

I need to get to Ghiradelli on one of my trips! I love chocolate!
I have no desire to go up in the balloon-I'm scared!

 

[tazdev3225]

I can't believe how much we talked that night. The time just flew by. I may have to try Ghiardelli next time I go to Disney. I just wasn't hungry that night.

That balloon swaying the way it did was scary. I am not going on that thing - EVER!!! I don't know if I got any pictures though. I'll have to check.

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Most people say the monkey.

I've never noticed the fall Mickey cut outs at DTD.

It's chilly here, and at WDW right now. It's supposed to warm up by the weekend though. Hopefully we will have a nice mild winter like last year. That crazy weather ya'll have going on in NY is like the one we had in 1989. Hurricane Hugo, followed by a horrible Christmas day snowstorm. It literally closed down the eastern seaboard, but I loved seeing all that snow. It's a rare thing to be up to your waist in snow in Myrtle Beach. (The drifts were that high)

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Your drink from Olivia's looks really good!!!

That balloon swaying would have freaked me out too! Good decision to stay on the ground and have Ghirardelli's!!!

That is very true. I do too.
it was really good. I was surprised how much I loved it.
we got on the boat at 5:38 and got to Olivia's at 6:24. Kind of long but we planned for the time and it is very relaxing.

We went to the take out part closer to WOD. Busy but doable.
Oh that will be coming up later in the report. I do go up

it did really fly. You should they are very good.
That night it was crazy how it was moving.

I cannot say my favorite I love them all.
I love WDW when it is chilly. I think we are in for a bad winter here. Last year was very mild here. I love snow so bring it on.

it was.
I was shocked at how it was swaying and it went up with people.

 

[ATLTruebie]

I swear 2 seconds before I read "I wish I was there now", I was saying the same thing. It looked like a beautiful night to sit outside and chat. I know with some people I can talk and the time just flies by, 2 hours later your like what!
Your shake sounds good I love peanut butter and ice cream.

It was really funny how the time flew. That shake was really good. It might make another appearance.

This day had me waking up late. As you can see from the next photo what time it was that we left the room.

Someone thinking as we were driven to our destination.

That destination would be.

We got through the turnstiles quickly and of course a pic was needed.

Then we came to my favorite thing to see at Epcot.

I just love watching the fountain and when the show goes off I love it.

Next up we saw something we totally missed last year, the cranberry bog.

Now I had been texting with Kristel and I believe they were in World Showcase on Maelstrom.

Of course had to take a pic of the monorail going by.

Then we came to a new exhibit this year.

We continued walking.

We did not get very far as I saw something we had never seen before. We got in line and of course someone had to take a break. It was about 10 minutes or less and 3 people ahead of the people in front of us left so we were happy. Some pics as we waited.

Here are the pics of our meet.

It was a fun and cute meet. After Duffy we walked to meet up with them. We saw this in Mexico.

Kristel told me they were in China so we went there in search.

I heard her yelling at someone. I think someone was breastfeeding without covering up. LOL I could be wrong as it is fuzzy now.

Think I will stop here.

Up next,

What do we do?

 

[kaysmommie]

Great pics and updates! I love the cranberry bog, those guys are hilarious especially after a few wine samples. Duffy in his Halloween costume, so cute!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Sultry Seahorse is a fabulous name for a drink...

Ghirardelli never disappoints...

I think that AK is a great place to meet characters too... It seems that a lot of people don't think/remember the character spots there...unlike the MK... great photos with Pooh and the Gang...

 

[tazdev3225]

OK I know we were in World Showcase by the time you got there. I saw Duffy but no pic with him. I did get a pic of him alone though.

I do not remember Kristel yelling at someone and I totally missed the feeding thing. Where was I?

 

[PrincessAlways]

I totally missed that watermelon patch! You know, you just keep walking, walking, talking & you miss stuff!!

Duffy is cute....I have a Duffy at home & he was wearing that exact outfit for Halloween!! When I go back in 14 days (not that I'm counting!) I'm buying a Christmas outfit for him!! It's the little things in life that make us happy! Did you notice that his face is in the shape of a Mickey head??

Thank you.

Duffy was cute. It was our first time ever seeing him so I was happy.

I think so too.
No it never does. I do prefer Beaches & Cream better but only because of the No Way Jose.
No they don;t or they are down by Mickey by FOTLK.

You were there. I asked Vinny and he said yep it happened.

 

[tazdev3225]

I do remember it now. I think I was looking at my swollen ankle and looked up to that. I went back to the swollen ankle real fast.
