Something about Nothing, come join in........

Hi! I just got back from PBH and saw this thread! I dont have time to read it all right now so I'm just checking in to say we had a blast!

BTW, the one who's worried about Mythos for kids (teens) The ones I took wont eat anything but pizza and chicken strips normally, but they LOVE Mythos! They all order the buffalo chicken wrap (without greens ). They love it. I was surprised last year when they ordered it for the first time. They might surprise you!

BTW, this year I got the pastabilities, and it was a chicken picatta with pesto fettucine. Wonderful!

Okay, anyway, I am working on my trip report, but I cant do it like bubbas mom, I think my photobucket has different code...anyway, it was faster to just post pictures, though not as cool as hers.

Yeah, Lori - I'm worried about Mythos for my kids as well. I've asked and been told several times on the Universal boards that it's fine for them to order from the kids' menu (even though they'll be 12-15). I certainly hope this ends up being the case, because as I look at the menu from your link, there's really nothing I see that they'll eat. Thought they at least had steaks of some kind? (I see the kids' steak, but not adult other than the BBQ steak sandwich).

marciemi, the first time i took my boys to mythos, the oldest was a preteen.

about 3 weeks before our trip, i made salmon in different ways. i knew that was on the mythos menu and figured if i made if i made it at home prior to the trip, they would have something they could eat that they liked.

look at the menu at mythos. find something new they haven't had and make a similar version of it at home. that way, when you go to mythos, you'll know they can find something on the menu for lunch.
just a suggestion from one mom to another.

Here is a live web cam of Universal http://www.wesh.com/wxcam/1472284/detail.html

Also www.wesh.com has the most accurate weather for Orlando. I keep it on my favorites.

Good Morning Bubba's Mom!!
I forgot to tell you how much I enjoyed your trip report. I love how you inserted the pics into your story. Thanks for posting it.

thank you so much for posting the web cam!

i have it bookmarked and go to it a lot.
maybe some of the posters here aren't aware of it, but they are now.






i think the web cam site should be put in the stickies somewhere.

One thing all us DISers have in common...OCD (at least in the trip planning sense)

I was very Type A when we used to go to Disney every year; printouts of where we would be on what day, breakfast, lunch and dinner reservation numbers, etc. It's probably why I love going to Universal so much more now. I can just go with the flow.

As to Mythos: My oldest son (17) is a very picky eater and he LOVES eating at Mythos. He usually gets the burger or the BBQ chicken sandwich, but he actually will sometimes be a bit more adventurous. My 13 y/o still eats off the kids menu as he loves the "One Fish Two Fish" ravioli.

You are so welcome. We all have to share in our USObsession

i keep checking for lindalinda's trip report.

was hoping she would have it up today.
well, she did get home last night.
she's had time to sleep.......

 

[keishashadow]

imo passporters are good for @ home planning, i perfer ArondaParks much smaller planner to tote around in my fanny pack (family hid it from me, bought a bagallini - much more stylish ). fyi, if you get a chance check out their planning book too (i'm one of the experts - hey, i got a free book outta the deal).

Luv Mythos, esp. the 1st class, professional service

mac - we ate @ Margarittaville twice, singles @ the bar noshing and outside on the porch area; such a fun place; food edible - nothing special.

What's the deal on the stawberry dessert @ NBA? Sounds delish - cinnamon/deep fried something or other...can anyone critique?

We just boozed @ Marleys; but food looked decent...anyone know for sure?

IMO, tie for worst food in Orlando between Mama Melrose & The Kitchen (oh, so dirty kids buffet & floor - ewww). Any other Universal "stinkers" to avoid?

Off to watch the Pens hit some-body.

i know amity, the girl is just "talking"........


she's not into jimmy like some of us here are

 

[macraven]

keisha, i have had the most awful food at the kitchen in years past.
think the last time i tried it was back in 02.

but, i am reading how so many really like the place, i will try it again this year.
maybe it was the cooks that have changed this place around.

when was the last time you ate at the kitchen?

 

[Figment22]

About an hour to the new Sopranos ep. tonight.
(It's 7:55 p.m. as I type this, even though the DIS clock says differently. )

I really hope it's a good episode. I need something to take my mind off today's downright awful Yankees' loss.

 

[tikkipoo]

It's got to be better than last weeks episode - boring! The problem is finding something to watch until then. If I have to go through that blasted Imus crap one more time I'm going to flip. - 8:11 and counting!

 

[tlinus]

Morning all!!

Thank you....glad you enjoyed it....however, i think i set myself up that if I don't do TR's, i'm gonna have an angry DIS mob hunt me down and flog me

hmmmmmmmmm.....Buba's Mom and flogging?!?!??!??!?!?!

 

[tikkipoo]

What kind of music does Margarittaville play? I'd like to eat there, but DH won't go if all they play is Jimmy's music.

 

[tlinus]

Come on over...there is plenty of water in my BASEMENT to handle all of us! Water may be a bit cold, but its definately do-able!


UUUUGGGGHHHH!! It was starting to go down and I just went down to move the pump and its getting a bit higher again!!!


According to the previous owner, they NEVER got water down there (neither did we until recently and we have been here 2 years).....this was a brutal winter with snow, rain, ice, rain, snow, ice, snow, rain and now a nor'easter....now to call plumbers tomorrow to see about a French Drain versus Sump Pump? Anyone have any info on either??

 

[Amity 3]

What kind of music does Margarittaville play?

death metal

 

[tikkipoo]

Sorry for your troubles tlinis I don't have any info for you, but I hope it is an easy fix. Real nice with only 10 days until your trip!

 

[tikkipoo]

death metal

Wonderful! DH will love it then. That's his favorite Don't know so much about his grandma.
