Loved the Parade Pix !!I( am still a Spectro gal.But MSEP is very good too!!!I don't think I would have LOVED the food at Citricos either !! But that appie did look very appealing !!!
The appie was good!
I so would have guessed Citricos by the lighting!! We had Lonzy last week as our server and he was awesome! He's been working for Disney for 25+ years and really is a kind man.
Speaking of casual dressing for Signatures... I can completely understand the parks but we were at Jiko and Citricos and noticed the shorts and t-shirts thing going on. I suppose I shouldn't be so quick to judge but I do admit that my first thought wasn't 'oh, maybe they don't have their luggage yet and had to wear shorts' versus 'what the heck?'
Yay for BW! I love all the Epcot resorts.
He was sweet, frazzled and busy but super sweet. Possibility on the maybe they don't have their luggage but I guess for me, if that were the case, I'd be at the regular bar, or the pool bar. Same thing at Jiko, why not be up at Victoria Falls?
I agree with other members of your Photopass Picture fan club- the ones of you two in front of the castle are really nice. I like how you are coordinated with the black dress and black and white dress.
PP fan club
coordination was NOT planned.
I haven't been to Citricos (or to the GF) (or to a signature restaurant) for that matter.
You had a great ending to the night at MK. I'm glad it worked out like it did for the parade.
Nice opportunity to see CoP. I think we took the boys on our first trip together in 2004, but haven't been back since.
One of these days you should try a siggie, maybe a date night at some point?
Great updates ladies!
MEK -- gorgeous pictures around the resort! I've said it before and I'll say it again, what a stunning place.
Sounds like a pretty nice meal. I'm never in the mood to do a fancy restaurant while in Disney. Maybe some day DH and I will do something romantic but for now we're still too silly.
Great timing walking in on the parade! Great photos from you both also. Love the Photopass pics!
Date nights are awfully fun, if you can do one at a siggie I highly recommend it. We've not managed it yet but hopefully this next trip.
Hi Tammie!
Well I'm looking at the description from all ears and my picture and thinking that this isn't exactly right.
Pan-seared Florida Black Grouper - Pappardelle pasta, palacios chorizo, taggiasca olives, marinated sun dried tomatoes, white wine and aglio e olio $38.00
means...
White fish, pasta (Portuguese pork sausage which has dried smoked red peppers in it, sun dried tomatoes, white wine, garlic and olive oil.
Basically a boring white fish that they tried to add lots of stuff to, to make it interesting.
This looks like grouper with, squid ink linguine, clams, mussels, shrimp, chorizo, sun dried tomatoes, white wine, garlic and olive oil. At least I think I see some chorizo in the picture. May also have tomatoes.
I will say the linguine and the broth were by far the best part. I am fairly positive I soaked up the rest of my broth with bread.
Sparkly flip flops.............exactly what you would need to wear with Mary Ellen's "lighted dress!"
Glad the two of you finally decided to get a picture together in front of the castle..........
Wow, the original Tiki Room AND CoP in the same trip!!!
Yeah, cuz we are short on pictures in front of the castle and we didn't get anymore for the rest of the trip
I had a list of must do's and wants and it usually includes classics I've not made it to. On this trip I did really well in the MK, ok at DHS and bombed everywhere else.
I agree. Food is hands down the most important part.
It really is. The rest can be lacking and you still go back for the food
Probably because that float is so long that it is about half the length of the parade itself.
good point
Wow... you're getting quite a few first time classics in on this trip.
I have to admit, it isn't the best ride to experience at the end of the day. I love it and it can just about lull me to sleep when it is late and I'm tired. I'm glad you got to see it and enjoyed it.
Sad isn't it? All that I still haven't done? Need more trips.
I am going to guess that we made pretty good time to HS (although I am certain Cynthia will know exactly when we arrived).
we will see
Yup - typical morning line, except this morning we are following Jack from Jack and the Giant Beanstalk and Pink.
Hold on to your hat there Cynthia. We are about to go on a wild ride!
Hey I had to protect bad hair day #2 in a row! I have a strategy you know. Hat in the am means I can skip the shower till after pool time. It was wedged on pretty tight, no clue why I felt the need to hang onto it. You do look disgusted, what is up with that?
Here we split one of these little beauties
My thoughts - It was just too sweet. Yeah - never thought I hear myself say that, but the filling was sickening sweet. It probably wasn't the best choice for my only food of the morning. You can imagine the results - instant sugar high and crashing sugar low not soon after. Not good.
I was kind of bummed. I'd had the same experience when I bought a whole one for myself, and couldn't finish it. I'd hoped splitting it would do the trick. It is good....but really I need 1/4 or less of it to avoid a sugar coma.
Cynthia crushed me. Must have been all that sugar. I was a little disappointed in my score, since I had done a lot better in June. Oh well. Next time. Maybe.
And with my tennis elbow to boot!
Probably was all the sugar and caffeine, I'm sure that had a lot to do with the fact I was craving protein in a major way by the time we finally got to lunch.
You two got quite a few things accomplished that morning! I sure hope that the teenager simply fainted and wasn't having a seizure. As the wife of a husband who suffers from seizures, I can attest that seizures are certainly not something that you get used to and I freak out every time.
How did you and Cynthia stay so calm looking when plummeting down down down in the Tower of Terror elevator? I'm always hanging onto John like a monkey and screaming like crazy.
I really couldn't see well enough to have a feeling at all for what was going on with the girl but mom was definitely shaken. I know I have fainted before in the heat, several times as a tween/teen and it was always low sugar. I'd just go down though, freak my mom out. I really hope she was ok and was happy to see it handled very quickly, or if not handled at least getting the right kind of atttention.
Clearly I was focused on my hat
How scary with the mom and the teenaged girl. I guess for timing having whatever happened to her is better in line before the ride rather than further into the queue, or actually on the ride.
I had that exact same thought, that they really were at a good access point both for them to get out of the crowd and for help to get to them.
for Boardwalk!
