[brookelizabeth]

Just found your report, great start!!

Epcot is my favorite park as well! Loved all the Test Track pics.

 

[DisneyJo]

Great report Jo and Jess!! I love reading TR's when there is more than one writer. It is so fun to read the different perspectives!!

Hi Tracy, thanks so much

Surprise...

What??

That's SO cool! You look so happy!

It was so much fun to do too

Great update! I love all the pictures. You guys are so lovely (both in mind and body.)

Awwww CE you're so sweet

we are leaving saturday morning providing TS Hanna does not interfere.

Stay safe and have fun

Woohoo for Test Track!
What a great first ride of the day! Can't wait for more.

As you know from the postcard we kinda like TT

HiJo ! Iwould have been here sooner but work interfered !!
Jo and Jess I am enjoying the red and the blue! Great Start!!
Jo on the translation some more proper English people might say "Extracting the Michael!"

Hi Rosie, thanks for your kind words and yes he could have said that too

Who knew?

We have a regular that comes into the Liquor Store and walks just like goofy, with his feet pointed out... I think of it everytime I see him walk down an aisle to get his beer! hes a great guy though...still funny!

Maybe he should go get a job there

Thats a great video!! I made one too, but I just looked like a Dork!!

I'm sure you didn't, post it and we'll be the judge

I`m guessing Electric Umbrella? only because you were fairly close to it..

It was a TS!

Just found your report, great start!!

Epcot is my favorite park as well! Loved all the Test Track pics.

Welcome, could you tell Epcot was our favourite?

Hi Jo and Jess! Subbing but now have to go back and read.

Day 1 August 14th

woken by my Dad at 6:00am !!! To leave at 6:30am.

Ah.. the joy of Youth.. get up brush hair and teeth. OUT THE DOOR.. 20 minutes to spare

During security Ellie told my to take my jumper off but I didn’t listen

I bet she told you... "I told you so"

I always hate the food so I took my own Sandwich.

AT least your sandwich was edible

. We went through passport control and Mum forgot to fill in half the form . The man told Mum off.

Oh No He Didn't

So JO...did you "Flash him the "Focker" ??

Jess you were absolutely petrified when the alarms went off at security, your little face

BAD MUM... laughing at your Baby and her moment of Total humiliation

The man at passport control was a bit weird wasn’t he, once he found out that Daddy was a golf pro he asked him did he know what GOLF stood for, Gentlemen only, ladies forbidden

And as Jo walked away she "flashed "the old Goat one of these

From landing at MCO to arriving at POR only took one and a quarter hours, fantastic! We so needed a swim as we’d been travelling for over 16 hours, we desperately tried to stay awake but only lasted till 7pm. I called bell services to ask them to deliver our cases the next day which they agreed to only to knock on the door at 8.30pm In my sleepy state I just opened the door in my pj’s with out checking who was there, thank goodness it really was our cases!!!!!

That ME may be great... I have never ridden it.. I am guessing that they have a "SET" route ?? Or a Set Order... based on WHERE people are going?? But to take over an hour to get to my hotel sounds bad... and I am guessing it CAN TAKE MUCH LONGER..

Let me guess Guys... POP is DEAD LAST ??

So you were out of it when your luggage got there....Hope you were not going "Commando"

Guess what our first park will be!!!!????

Let me Guess... ... Epcot... with a Lunch ADR for Le Cellier


Jess.....Great Job on writing the TR for your Mum


You guys like that TT like I LOVE Space Mountain.

I wish the "MIssion Space Video" had the sound.. to I had music playing in my head since you were dancing around.

 

[OhMari]

POR is my favorite resort. Did you stay in the Mansions section or in the Back Bayou?

I love that you have added indexes. And I am looking forward to hearing about your travel experiences Jess.

 

[cmp1111]

Let me guess Guys... POP is DEAD LAST ??

Nope. It shares the bus with AKL and CSR. Pop is FIRST, AKL is last.

 

[Mrs. The King]

Love how cute the English people sound when they fight!!

Great job Jess!!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Hi Jo and Jess! Subbing but now have to go back and read.

Hi Lori, good to have you here

Ah.. the joy of Youth.. get up brush hair and teeth. OUT THE DOOR.. 20 minutes to spare

We always had our showers the night before to save time

I bet she told you... "I told you so"

I don't think she did, I'll ask Jess!

So JO...did you "Flash him the "Focker" ??

He might not have let me in to the country

BAD MUM... laughing at your Baby and her moment of Total humiliation

I didn't laugh too much

And as Jo walked away she "flashed "the old Goat one of these

Katt you are bad

That ME may be great... I have never ridden it.. I am guessing that they have a "SET" route ?? Or a Set Order... based on WHERE people are going?? But to take over an hour to get to my hotel sounds bad... and I am guessing it CAN TAKE MUCH LONGER..

No it took that long from actually landing, getting through passport control, waiting at 2 different luggage carousels, because we're International, finding ME and getting to POR

So you were out of it when your luggage got there....Hope you were not going "Commando"

Luckily I had my jammies on

Let me Guess... ... Epcot... with a Lunch ADR for Le Cellier

I wonder who had my itinerary

Jess.....Great Job on writing the TR for your Mum

She'll be so pleased you said that

You guys like that TT like I LOVE Space Mountain.

Uh huh!

I wish the "MIssion Space Video" had the sound.. to I had music playing in my head since you were dancing around.

POR is my favorite resort. Did you stay in the Mansions section or in the Back Bayou?

We were in the Mansions, building 80 right near the pool!

I love that you have added indexes. And I am looking forward to hearing about your travel experiences Jess.

Thanks Marissa!

Love how cute the English people sound when they fight!!

Great job Jess!!!

Thanks

We went to Le Cellier. We walked through the arch saying Le Cellier Steakhouse. There was a little pond with this weird noise, which I thought was a jammed fountain.

The entrance of Le Cellier

We went through the doors and I was looking for the hidden Mickey and I found it. . We had a really nice booth right in the corner as far as possible from the check in desk.

Our menu:

Me: New York strip steak with fries, I thought it was lovely
Ellie: Doesn’t like steak and we told her its like a burger but nicer. So she decided to have a cheeseburger.
Dad: Filet with mushrooms he thought it was ok!
Mum: she had the same as me but thought it was OK ish. Not as nice as last year.

Before Ellie got her burger the server had a craving for pizza and she wrote down the wrong order, so they brought out a cheese pizza and Ellie wanted a burger . She wasn’t impressed. Ellie said “can I try a bit of your steak Mum and Jess?” and so I had to and I was enjoying it and she didn’t eat all of her burger. Now Ellie loves Steak! The server was extremely apologetic and kept coming over to say sorry!!

For dessert we ordered 3x Campfire smores for us 3 girls and dad ordered the crème Brulee.

This is what was left of my smores.

Last year Le Cellier was by far our best meal of the trip, David even insisted that we book it twice this trip, well this year the steak was well just OK, not the melt in the mouth meat we had last year, I was so disappointed



We finished our meals and headed out to use our fast passes for Soarin’ we love the video that introduces the ride. We were in Concourse 2. The man with the ears and the little boy used to crack us up. Now it is the couple that have the hat and goggles. We were in room C and row 3 the worst of the lot.

We had a great ride and we saw all of the hidden Mickey’s on Soarin’ there were 3 in the end. We headed over to Space Ship Earth because Ellie really wanted to ride and it was shut last year, we waited about 10 minutes. The end was brilliant but I didn’t like the going down backwards bit. As it was in the dark. It’s educational and I was on my vacation Ahhhh!! We took some pictures and here they are. Dad and I went together and Mum and Ellie went together.

Mum and Ellie are the first few

Dad and me

Mum kept hogging the camera so we didn’t get to take many pictures


What do you mean hogging the camera? You’re lucky I shared it at all


After that we went back to the hotel and we were all debating whether to have a swim before sleep or the other way round!! In the end we had to have a sleep and then swim. Ellie and I didn’t really sleep we played on our Nintendo DS’s and listened to our I-pods.


We so all needed a sleep to try and get us on to Florida time, I managed to sleep for a little while


We went for a relaxing swim, went back to the room and got ready to go to DTD on the boat. We had a driver called Alvin and he said he couldn’t park it at the dock. When we got there there was a great big thud and I said ‘we are here.’ We went to Earl of Sandwich and then went shopping. First we went to Team Mickey and no hat (Chicago bulls from last year) Then went to World of Disney and then went back home for an early night. But before we went we went to Goofy’s Candy co. and brought these as snack credits.

Mine: Milk chocolate, M‘n’M, White chocolate drizzle and pink pixie dust

Ellie’s: Milk chocolate, Sprinkles, White and caramel drizzle and purple pixie dust.

We went home and were in bed by 9pm.


Today was David’s day for eating as his other food request was Earl of Sandwich, we don’t have anything like that here and he loves the BLT, I love the cupcakes so we were both happy

If you read my TR from last year you will remember how David really wanted this cap and we searched high and low for it (he saw it the first day but someone, ummm me, said to not buy it and wait and then we never saw it again) so the search was on again this year, well Team Mickey doesn’t stock them anymore We then just wandered, I can’t even remember if we bought anything, as Jess said we then made the Goofys stuff, such a great snack credit before heading home exhausted!



What is our next park????

Click here for next installment!

 

[carrieannie]

Nope. It shares the bus with AKL and CSR. Pop is FIRST, AKL is last.

Bummer....I was hoping to get a glimpse of AKL on our way to CSR...

 

[Bev1016]

Another great entry!

Sorry Le Cellier wasn't a good as you remembered. I hope it's better for your next visit!

It looks like you had fun making those treats at DTD. How were they?

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Your Goofy treats look great, such a good use of snack credits.

 

[carrieannie]

I love those pictures at the end of Spaceship Earth...do you get to keep them or just redneck them?

those Mickey Treats look yummy!!

This is a fun TR with both of you writing it!!! Great job Jess!!!

 

[Hedy]

Your treats look great!

The server was extremely apologetic and kept coming over to say sorry!!

Ah, well, at least she realized she'd messed up!

It’s educational and I was on my vacation Ahhhh!!

What is our next park????

Hmm, DHS?

Bummer....I was hoping to get a glimpse of AKL on our way to CSR...

Nope. And the ME back to the airport stops at AKL first, then reverses.

We went through the doors and I was looking for the hidden Mickey and I found it. . We had a really nice booth right in the corner as far as possible from the check in desk.

so you were hunting those this time too huh yeah we found that one. But what "Provence" where you in.. We were in Nova Scotia.

Last year Le Cellier was by far our best meal of the trip, David even insisted that we book it twice this trip, well this year the steak was well just OK, not the melt in the mouth meat we had last year, I was so disappointed

It was our First year since we did the DDP ate for Lunch.. Liked it.. but would not pay those prices. What.. No Mousse "Moose"

What is our next park????

OOOOHH

I Know I know.. Pick me Pick Me

 

[ncsjodi]

Katt is cheating! No fair! She has the answer sheet!

What a cute installment, Jo & Jess! I love reading Jess' perspective on everything!

Sorry that your LeCellier meal wasn't as good as last time. Eric & I went there in December and had the most wonderful filet.... mmmmmmmmmmm. But we're not doing the DDP this October, so we won't be going there again.

 

[winkers]

What a bummer about Le Celier! It's so disapointing when something isn't as good as you remember......

Cute pictures from SE!

Poor David..........all he wanted was a hat!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Jo! You're such a camera hog!
I wasn't very impressed with Le Cellier when went in January either. I just figured everyone talked it up too much.

I won't answer all your park questions since I got your schedule...

 

[jcc0621]

Sorry that LeCellier wasn't as good. We went last year and loved it. Didn't try it this year. Maybe it was just an off day

What, no more rides on TT
