that duck looks like he's in jail.

oh, and as far as our dogs go with begging, there is no "often" about it....they ALWAYS beg!!!

Same here, really. They lay down by the table and get the most pitiful looks on their faces.

the fact that he gave her a pin made me literally laugh out loud. that just makes the story for me for some reason!

That had to be the best part! The whole time I was thinking, "Wait until I tell the DIS that for a kiss you can get a pin from a CM during Food and Wine!"

oh, that looks YUMMY!!!

It was soooo yummy! I wish I could get them year-round!

.....to charles!!!!

hope you guys have fun having some hibachi today!

I showed this to Charles and he says, "Thank you!" I can't wait to gorge on some Japanese shrimp and noodles.

Mardi Gras with pins

How was the cosmo slushie? It sounds good

It was a classic TR moment!

The cosmo slushy was great! It had cranberry, cointreau, and Grey Goose in it.

Hi CP! Totally Off topic question. How much is it (generally) to make a light saber in Disney? I cannot remember if Connor made one or not (ive read toooo many TR's lately lol). My sister would like me to make one for her husband for christmas and we were wondering on the ballpark cost. thanks!

Baylor made one last summer, but to be honest we can't remember for sure how much it was. I'm thinking somewhere between $20/$30....

 

[Native NYer]

The Fisherman's pie and Cabernet short ribs and mashed potatoes look so good! And Grey Goose slushies are a MUST on any WS trip.

The photo of Charles asleep reminds me of MANY pics of my dad doing the exact same thing. My dad will sleep through a show and comment afterward about how much he enjoyed the show

Glad to hear you had a good DIS meet. I need to plan my visit when some DIS people are there. US schools need to get on the same calendar!

Happy Birthday Charles!!!!!!

Jackie, you made some tasty looking choices! There isn't a thing that you had that I don't want to try! Last night I was again talking about a fall trip.....

Your drunk story was too funny! I wonder what she had been drinking?
Charles looks so peaceful watching Illuminations....

 

[wsushocker]

The Fisherman’s Pie was filled with chunks of lobster and scallops and topped with mashed potatoes. So delicious! I could have licked that bowl clean!

Happy Birthday Charles​

​

If you guys were closer he could join the bowling party today......

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Yum...I want a French cosmo slushie...

(I think at the end of your F&W tr...you should do a drink summary ranking them according to their yumminess level/potency level...

I love the ducks...maybe they are some of the duck children from Make Way for Duckling all grown up and seeking some libations...

The Fisherman’s Pie was filled with chunks of lobster and scallops and topped with mashed potatoes. So delicious! I could have licked that bowl clean!

I would have! You'll probably never see those people again!

Aw, so cute!

I had heard tales of the rowdiness of Food and Wine on the weekends, but who would have thought that it was like Mardi Gras -- only with pins instead of beads. HA HA HA! Wonder if the girl will get invited on another trip?

Yikes! Forget being invited on another trip...I wonder if they're still together!

ASIDE: Today is Charles' 40th Birthday! Guess where we are going for his birthday meal? The local Japanese restaurant. Not quite Teppan Edo, but the next best thing. LOL!

Charles!

 

[Megablocks]

Happy birthday to Charles!

I can't believe the girl kissed the CM! AND got a pin out of the deal...that just made the story!

I am with Dawn, there is no "often" with my dog begging, it is ALL the time. Sometimes he'll even lick his lips as he's staring.

 

[wsushocker]

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

YUM! All of your food and wine selections look DELICIOUS!

Happy Birthday to Charles! Enjoy your Japanese feast!

 

[xoktenox]

Hmmm that Fisherman's Pie sounds delishhhhhh! We rarely have seafood in my house since only my mom and I like it. You just made my mouth water!

I'm with Charles and gonna go for the Grey Goose Slush when we're there. But you keep mentioning those Dragon Berry Coladas so I know they're already on my list!

Happy Birthday Charles!

 

[cmskok]

Yummy looking food and even better looking drinks!!! How great!

I LOVE the drunken 21 year old! Seems like an entertaining way to spend a few minutes!

Happy Birthday to Charles! Happy Japaneseing!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Happy Birthday Charles!!

I about died over your drunken Food & Wine incident you witnessed. This is why I have a strict two drink policy in front of my inlaws, I don't trust myself with more alcohol than that. Who knows what I would say or do.

I have to say that I was most looking forward to the Lobster & Scallop Pie....I'm glad you enjoyed it!

 

[Happydog]

THAT was a great post!!!! LOVED your food pics, We had the same fisherman's pie (we each got one b/c we didn't want to share!) and those short ribs and the cosmo's OF COURSE!!! I took my best photos with the help of that slushie.. or two...

Did I really see a photo of Charles LYING on the pavement??!! NOW that is funny.

Even more entertaining, what is up with that!!?? The girl and the CM smoochie... FUNNY.

Golly, CP, this was one entertaining post to say the least!!!

Happy BD to Charles... 40 is a nice number. At least it is easy to remember! Hope you all have a good day and dinner! Sounds great!

 

[eandesmom]

Happy Birthday Charles!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jenjolt]

LOL I'm still laughing at that story Jackie!! I cannot believe that girl did that LOL!!! Yes I imagine EPCOT is a lot more fun when you're 21!!!!

Awwww..I have to agree with you DISers are some of the nicest people!!! I really hope we can all meet up again!!!!

Happy Birthday to Charles!! Hope you guys have fun tonight at the Japanese restaurant!!!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

OOH - all that food and drink looks awesome!! I'm getting hungry - too bad I have NO IDEA what I'm having for dinner tonight!

LOVE the story of the CM-kissing 21 year old.

and
to Charles. Welcome to the 40s. It's not too bad. If you don't mind gray hair, creaking bones and squinting to read the newspaper...really, it's great!

Ah, Ireland! The home of our ancestors! I actually visited Cork, Ireland when I was fifteen years old. Our two weeks in Ireland was one of my favorite trips ever.

Did you know that I stayed a month in Cork during a Christmas break during college? I ate a lot of Fish and Chips that month!


Charles and I needed a drink of our own after that -- preferably one with Grey Goose vodka in it. In France we found what we were looking for…
A Parisian Cosmo Slush for me:

And a Grey Goose Slushy for Charles:

I can verify that Jackie and Charles REALLY liked those slushies

Soon it was time to meet up with Heidi (MRYPPNS) and Tarzanskat and her family.
Hey that's me!

We spent an absolutely lovely evening swapping trip stories and meandering around World Showcase (there may have even been a couple of more Dragon Berry Coladas somewhere in that time ).

I will admit to stearing the whole group past the Dragon Berry stand so I could have one. Charles and I agreed that we should own slushie machines at home!

Heidi and Kat are absolutely delightful people -- I have decided I think DISers are some of the nicest people I have ever met, and I hope we all converge on WDW at the same time again in the future!

Awwww thanks. I really enjoyed that evening with you and Kat. Next time we should plan a dinner together...

We all watched Illuminations from Italy -- well, Charles and TK’s son slept, but the rest of us watched the fireworks and then, we had to say our good-byes.

I thought Charles might like that location when I suggested it...I needed to sit as much as he did. And it turned out to be a great place for us girls to chat.

Here’s Charles waiting for Reflections of Earth.

ASIDE: Today is Charles' 40th Birthday! Guess where we are going for his birthday meal? The local Japanese restaurant. Not quite Teppan Edo, but the next best thing. LOL!

Please tell the King of Teppan Edo Happy Birthday from me!

I'm was so happy that we got to hang out that night. When are we doing it again???
