The amazing Australiankaren"s Completed TR..

[australiankaren]

Dh had to get these...picked them up at ABC eatery @ MGM....

Loving the Kids meals

he said the triffle was awesome going down, but not as good coming up after star tours

And who had to carry them????? who?????

 

[australiankaren]

so, building is going full tilt, hate to be married in the wedding chapel at the moment..ugly construction...

Cant wait to use my points there as a DVC member.....

 

[australiankaren]

One of our other traditions is to have Kona for breaky....cant beat that yummy yummy goodness of deep friedness...

Tonga toast

healthy breakfast for me

plus stuff...

once again an awesome experience

*sigh*

I have to clean my screen again.


But. Keep. The. Food. Porn. Coming.

 

[australiankaren]

and a huge wave to the 3 families of Aussies who were sitting near us

So the wave is expensive, but healthy, although this year were weren't blown away..maybe because the other WDW places are lifting their game re healthy choices.....

and the sauce DH discovered.......

ok, but I dont think we'll do dinner there again, just too pricey for what we got.

 

[australiankaren]

fourth one in 4 years.. I think it may be our last. I didnt do any candy, we did the rides and the fireworks, but for $120 I think we'll miss it next time, and do EMH at MK instead.

Check out the awesome tea pot grannie..best one of the night

The fighting wheres wallys

the crowds were the biggest yet....not happy....

 

[5ofus]

Wow Karen, you've been busy this morning!

Loving the report so far. SO disappointed at the lack of clown car But the shirt almost made up for it!

Are they still using the Wedding Chapel at the moment? I'm with you, would hate to have that as a background right now!

 

[australiankaren]

So, here's my BLT pool ( at the contemporary as I hate the BLT pool, it gets no sun, the kids piddle and it gets no sun), but no photo of pool boy Steve...who was awesome....

and my favorite deck chairs

and the sign near my favorite deck chairs

and my favorite aussie hat in my favorite pool near my favorite deck chairs

Karen we were there the same night. It was our first ( and last ) MNSSHP so I had no expectations re crowds. We thought there were lots of people around but the lines for the rides still seemed really short ( not EMH-early-morning-short, but still short).

We had dinner at the LTT that night and so did the Where's-Wallies ! There were a family of about 10 of them all dressed the same - very cool I thought

Keep the photos coming....you TR is the only thing standing between me and a huge bundle of work that just arrived in my in-tray

[australiankaren]

So, you may not know that when it kinda rains, but not enough to cancel the 3pm parade..they put on the rainy day parade instead....very cool...we stumbled across it as we came in the park..

 

[dabecs]

Lovin' the report!

Can't believe the size of the Tonga toast - it's like a fried sugary brick!

 

[australiankaren]

I know, shame on me...but we have never ever done it, so took the opportunity and enjoyed every minute of it......

you really cant see how hot it is....dying......

this view convinced the DH to do mountain railway...and he LOVED it.....

so happy together...

then we were off for food.................

 

[australiankaren]

Oh, yummo yummo...why haven't I been there before......seriously you people need to share these secrets...

always happiest with food...

 

[australiankaren]

Oh dear...so angry I blew $80 on this crappy excuse of a buffet......garbage food, garbage service, garbage, garbage, garbage

pre frozen for my convience...yuccko

greasy and cold

the chick forgot to bring our wipes and lemon slices, so I drew them on instead....she was so rude..so got a $1 tip....which was $1 too much

Dh liked the desserts..all full of dairy of course

so thumbs down for cape may........I want my $81 back

 

[australiankaren]

my pool

my chair

my room

my car

my happy DH with his big boy car

 

[miss.potatohead]

Karen you're on fire! Want to write one (or all) of my 4 x 2500 word essays due by this Friday?

 

[PrincessInOz]

Breakfast at Cape May seems better. At least there are characters to distract you.

 

[ky71]

Ohh Karen I'm so enjoying your TR.

I so agree with you about Cape May! We went for breakfast in 2011 and my Dh wouldn't even stay to see all the characters - we were there for 90mins and saw just Goofy...there were two, two slice toasters for the 380 guests (max capacity) Hello? My Dh had read somewhere that leaving a penny as a tip shows you were not happy...yep he left just one cent! I'm still unhappy that we didn't get those cool shots of the characters in their swimming garb but thrilled I was that I managed to get a copy of the D23 magazine at the Beach Club gift shop.

Ok back to your TR please!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one, my DH said I was being picky.....as I also complained about the bar man before the meal.....I went to the bar, pointed to the drinks I wanted as he couldnt understand my accent when i asked him for the list and he said "use words next time" I nearly smacked him in the face, grrrrrrrr....rude idiot.So once again, no tip for him either....
