My three main priorities for this trip were 1) that it be much more relaxed and flexible than our typical trip, 2) that we take in as much of the Christmas shows, decorations and atmosphere as possible, and 3) that we take FULL advantage of the DDP both in getting our $$$’s worth AND taking the opportunity to try some new things instead of the standard choices. The boys understood that they could choose whatever sounded good to them, or they wanted to try for the first time, and they didn’t have to base their decision on helping to keep the cost reasonable since it was prepaid, which is a new concept in our dining habits when we are at Disney. The exception I knew would be Andrew, who seldom eats, or at least finishes, larger meals especially if he knows dessert is waiting……

Did the boys finish their Kim Possible Missions and arrive at the designated time for check-in at Tutto Italia?

They finished at least one mission, they wanted to do more, but were afraid that would make them late. There was some arguing amongst the boys before the decision was made to quit the missions and go eat. They were a few minutes early.

Which Main Course was not ordered at Tutto Italia; Spaghetti, Lasagna, Veal Roast, Breaded Pork Chop or Ravioli?

Ravioli

How many glasses of wine were ordered with our meal at Tutto Italia?

3

What type of wine was ordered?

Bartles and James Wild Berry Wine coolers

Who had Tiramisu for dessert at Tutto Italia?

Ali....but she had tasters

Where did the boys go after we left Tutto Italia?

After some more brotherly discussions they decided to try Test Track. Mission Space was discussed, but was passed on due to just eating

Did DW and I manage to get seats for the Candlelight Processional?

Yes - and you both enjoyed it very much

How many Disney resorts did we visit and take pictures of the Christmas trees and decorations after leaving Epcot?

Other than the resort you were staying at - 1

Those Kim Possible Missions can be tricky, especially, when there are many other secret agents running activating the same effects two seconds beforehand. But, teenage boys are seldom miss any meals. I'll say they were on time for dinner, but had not finished the Kim Possible Missions.

Which Main Course was not ordered at Tutto Italia; Spaghetti, Lasagna, Veal Roast, Breaded Pork Chop or Ravioli?

My multiple choice system is much less effective with five choices. It looks like Spaghetti is the cheapest option and I know people on the dining plan feel compelled to get expensive dinners, so probably no one ordered Spaghetti.

How many glasses of wine were ordered with our meal at Tutto Italia?

2

What type of wine was ordered?

Knowing very little about wine, I selected one entirely at random- Prosecco sparkling wine.

Who had Tiramisu for dessert at Tutto Italia?

Everyone probably should have, but I'll guess Andrew, as he is listed in the above paragraph of secret and subtle clues.

Where did the boys go after we left Tutto Italia?

To finish the Kim Possible Missions and rid the world of all evil.

Did DW and I manage to get seats for the Candlelight Processional?

Yes, but not very good ones. Perhaps behind a pole or a Brazillian group who sang along?

How many Disney resorts did we visit and take pictures of the Christmas trees and decorations after leaving Epcot?

3- Beach and Yacht Club and Boardwalk Inn.

Remember that fever, back pain, etc.... yeah, rotten gall bladder. I will call tom. for appt.
