Looks like you're all having a really great time. I'm really enjoying the updates!

I am loving those pictures. That one of Matt and Lily with Goofy is adorable I also love the one where she is standing with Minnie, with Dizzy safely between them and a reassuring hand holding hers on the other side - bless her! She's smiling quite happily for the camera though

Agree there is some excellent photos and memories coming from this trip.

Read Matt's blog post so knew that you had enjoyed rope drop at EPCOT.

I was looking at the pics of the cake slices from Riverside Mill at POR - are they serving the cake in slices there? It looks so much nicer than the 'cups' of cake they were serving the last few years! I'm hoping you are going to tell us that this is how the resorts are serving them as standard now ....

They still have cup cakes as well as slices of cake.

Busy day today(again) CP for breakfast into park early so got empty park, saw our friend who works in MK security. food was OK will never understand why people pay the price for it if not on DDP, $104 for 3 incl tip is crazy to me. In over a hour and still only saw 1 character, Karen had a word and 2 more were brought over immediately, Piglet never got to us but we had been in long enough.
Few hours in MK then back to room to get ready for meal at Chef De France. We all enjoyed it, seeing Remy was great. Walk around the world doing kidstops then Walgreens and back to room.
Tomorrow AK, Mara for lunch, Drinks around the world in the evening with meal at Yorkshire County Fish Shop.

With all that's going on your pictures have just cheered me up.

Lily and Dizzy are adorable.

I have also been so tempted by those pictures in Chefs De France that I have just made a last minute ADR for there! It looks lovely and this is from a very fussy eater.

I've just been reading Matt's blog, he is certainly a talented writer

 

[disneyholic family]

i love the empty MK pictures!! i see there's a photopass guy in your picture - was he taking pictures in the empty park?
that's really cool if he is!!

i didn't know remy makes appearances there....i thought he'd left....

It's become a bit of a tradition for us to do a CP breakfast on our first morning. We love being in the park before rope drop and really enjoy the food and the characters. Must say I'm very surprised at the poor attendance by characters. We normally take just about an hour and get to the stage that all the characters have been round twice and some of them are on their third round. This year was no exception. Bad luck!

With all that's going on your pictures have just cheered me up.

We made our first visit to Chefs de France this year following a recommendation by DD after her year working in WDW. Thought it was excellent and will certainly be back.

Loving the trip report as always Wayne. Some of the holidays we have enjoyed the most have been ones we've shared with people who haven't been before. Lily's so lucky to have her first visit with you all.

Lily's mum, Lucy is really fussy with eating, basically lives on chicken and chips, doesn't like any other form of potato, rice, pasta or any sauce, both Raglan road & Chef De France have altered the dishes no problem, if you don't see anything you fancy just ask.

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

All the photopass cameras were there all down Mainstreet stood waiting for everyone to arrive.

The food looks very yummy.

Can't complain so far.

Thanks for all comments on Matt's blog, he enjoys his writing a lot, even more when people read it. He got 393 people read it a couple of days ago, a record for him. Only problem with having a Son that understands English is he complains about everything I write, just moaned about last nights post.

Hey Wayne, loving the TR. Its like getting second helpings with matt's also Thank you both.

Can I ask, how are the crowds. We will be there this time next year up to the 2nd September and I'm just trying to gage how bad it will be for us having been spoilt with October Holidays for the past few years.

Happy Holidays

Just caught up on this and it looks like you have been having a fantastic time - especially Lilly and Dizzy
Pleased to hear that Virgin pulled out all the stops for you - we have never had a bad trip with them yet and have always got top marks from us for customer service so it's nice to hear others getting the same.
Looking forward to more updates - when you get the time of course

 

[Cyrano]

Up to page 11 already on the TR. This could be the best thread yet Wayne

I agree about the character meals at WDW. Ours would be very disappointed with the limited character choices. Chef de France on the otherhand looks an inspired choice
