The Lesser Known Eighth Dwarf, Dumpy, Comes to Disney Aug '11 **NEW 2/20 TR link!!!

I was behind a few updates, shame on me!

I can't stand rude servers, I have encountered that whole you are not ordering, app, entree, dessert, wine and coffee mentality before. It's annoying. I can't physically eat that much and it just makes me angry and more self concious about my slow eating. Grrr!

Okay, enough of that rant. Moving on...

You had great ride mojo! Reminds me of a morning Marc & I had at MK like that.

I'm so glad you liked the cream cheese pretzel! Isn't it heavenly?? Mmmm.
 
Wooo I'm in 3rd place so far!! I"ll have to sweet talk some more!!

Sorry about the horrid service at Cali :( Your meal looked good though! My friend and I went one night. I had 2 glasses of wine and a flatbread and it was $50. That was my treat for like the whole month haha. Watching Wishes from there is amazing :)
 
Oh, I love that pin! I think Chip & Dale make any pin look good haha I think it's because the pins seemed to add more characters, with them being perfect as two is just great. I also love seeing those Living with the Land pins out and about, such an underrated ride. (: And I got to make a note of the water bottle holder if the question comes up ;)

Practically any pin with Chip & Dale on it I must get :rotfl: Granted I don't usually get the plain ones. But ones like this and MNSSHP themed ones I grab up real quick!

The sunset was very pretty, though it didn't exactly meet your quota, it still met mine (: And it looked even more beautiful behind the Magic Kingdom in the second picture :goodvibes MK just makes everything look and seem better :teeth:

Ever noticed how much bluer the sky seems at MK or at WDW in general? The sky has been that blue here at home but it never seems as good.

And sorry you didn't really find the five-legged goat. The angle may be the reason why we can't see Mr. Extra-Leg, we may never know :/

Thanks for making me feel better. Yes... that's it.... it was the angle :rolleyes1

Ooooo... California Grill... even though it is a signature and requires some extra work when it comes to getting into the place, I would love to go there. The food looks and sounds delicious! I can't believe your server was rude to you because you weren't going for a "full" signature dining experience... pft snobs..., at least he did cover your food for you while watching Wishes (: The meal looked great otherwise. I will have to test out those scallops you got :thumbsup2

It's certainly a different clientele in there. Although I did look around and saw a mixture of people. Some dressed to the nines and other families were in casual park touring clothes :confused3

I love your Wishes! pictures, such a fantastic show and I like seeing this perspective from atop the Contemporary. I've only seen it from a... obstructed view, so to speak, but it was still amazing. Do they play the music up there? I'm curious about that in case I do watch from the Contemporary sometime. =D And you should totally watch Wishes! from Main Street sometime, it makes it all look so much bigger and you can see everything better, adds an extra element to the experience. (:

Yes, they do pipe in the music. It's not as loud as say, on Main Street, but you still get the same mood. I really want to watch Wishes from the train station but I'd have to grab a spot at least an hour to an hour and a half before the show starts. I really don't want to waste precious time like that. I guess I'll settle for a cramped curb side spot instead :rolleyes:

Oooo... I see I'm still doing fairly good in the standings... though middle crowd isn't good enough for me lol jk I need to really work on getting these questions right lol

Like I said.... flattery will get you everywhere :angel:


Love the SW potatoes!:thumbsup2 They come up with so many fun marketing ideas!

Yes they really do! Who knows what they'll come up with next.

Too bad about your server - a Signature meal is supposed to be something special, whatever you decide to order. I'm glad he didn't totally ruin your evening. Great pics of the fireworks!

It won't deter me from going back because I know it's a gem of a restaurant. The service really makes the meal though.

I wonder how servers will react to my rather different way of ordering? I love appetizers and desserts. Maybe an alcoholic beverage or two. But I can usually skip the main course. Will I get the stink-eye?

Chris

:welcome: Chris! Sometimes the appetizers are the same price as the main courses. And desserts are upwards of $9 a shot. So nope, can't say you'll get the stink eye if you go that route :laughing:

Too bad you couldn't get a window seat at CG. It was nice of you to let Stitch take the seat with the view.

I had to make it special for her :goodvibes

You managed to get some great firework pictures. The view must be amazing from that high, although I think it would be a bit scary being so high.

It was scary. Although being able to see such a panoramic view was so incredible. It really needs to be experienced at least once!

Loved the Firework Pix !!! We had an awful server at Mama Melrose's too !!The food was cold also so can scratch that restaurant off our to do list again !!!

Yikes. Well, I've heard some horror stories from MM so I don't have any desire to eat there any time soon.

I was behind a few updates, shame on me!

Not to worry! You've had much bigger things to handle lately!

I can't stand rude servers, I have encountered that whole you are not ordering, app, entree, dessert, wine and coffee mentality before. It's annoying. I can't physically eat that much and it just makes me angry and more self concious about my slow eating. Grrr!

It's even worse when you tell them you'll be sharing. I always mutter under my breath that they'll still get a good tip. Sheesh.

I'm so glad you liked the cream cheese pretzel! Isn't it heavenly?? Mmmm.

It was all your TRs that made me crave to try one. All your reviews were right on the money.

Wooo I'm in 3rd place so far!! I"ll have to sweet talk some more!!

I can't wait! :lmao:

Sorry about the horrid service at Cali :( Your meal looked good though! My friend and I went one night. I had 2 glasses of wine and a flatbread and it was $50. That was my treat for like the whole month haha. Watching Wishes from there is amazing :)

Wowzers. It sure adds up quick. I hope it was good wine!

What recent Pixar movie (within the last 4 years) was playing at the Dig Site this night?


Wall-E






Super top secret white printed answers duly submitted! :)
 
i almost missed this, good thing i checked today.



How many people were ahead me at the Epcot turnstiles for rope drop?
1 you got in a line that was newly formed.


What special gift did we get from a CM on our way to get into position for Soarin?
a celebrate button.

Did we ride Soarin' standby or FP first?
standby

What 3 things (appetizer, entree, dessert) did I order at Le Cellier? (one point each)
cheese soup, the filet, and the creme brulle
How did we get to B&C from Epcot?
you rode the boat from the internation gateway exit.
What did we order at B&C?
the no way jose.

Did we see Illuminations after B&C?
yes
What shows from my Must-Do list did I see around WS? (You' might want to research this one *HINT: Check PTR.....)
off kilter, america show which is the marchng drum band
, and the chinese dancers.

What recent Pixar movie (within the last 4 years) was playing at the Dig Site this night?
toy story 2
 
How many people were ahead me at the Epcot turnstiles for rope drop? Do you mean when you first got there? Or after you knocked three old ladies out of your way so you could get to your eventual position right up against the rope? You were first of course, because that's how you roll! Now Stitch is another story altogether...... ;)

What special gift did we get from a CM on our way to get into position for Soarin? I'll guess it was a FP to something you would never think of using up a FP for to start with, like Living With The Land.

Did we ride Soarin' standby or FP first? Let's go with standby
What 3 things (appetizer, entree, dessert) did I order at Le Cellier? (one point each) Okay, I know what the obvious is, but I'm guessing at lunchtime you aren't quite as interested in stuffing yourself with more walking/riding to do, so let's say the standard Cheddar Cheese Soup, the Le Cellier House Burger (which someone who shall remain nameless had in our group, and thought it was fantastic) and of course Jen's personal favorite Creme Brulee!

How did we get to B&C from Epcot? Based on extensive walking at Epcot to start with, I'll guess you took a watercraft to cut down on some of the walking and recover from stuffing yourself at Le Cellier.

What did we order at B&C? Hmm, was I there or not? It was either the No Way Jose (if I wasn't there) or the Kitchen Sink (IF the Marvali crowd ended up joining you). You know which is the official answer........ :rolleyes1

Did we see Illuminations after B&C? I'll guess yes you did!

What shows did I see around WS? Not sure if you mean performers themselves, or the special country oriented shows that some of the different countries in WS have. I guess I'll cover it both ways and say you saw the Canada, France and China movies, and you saw the British Invasion.
What recent Pixar movie (within the last 4 years) was playing at the Dig Site this night? Well, I guess I'll go with UP since I have no idea.
 
How many people were ahead me at the Epcot turnstiles for rope drop?

I dunno....2?

Hmmm, didn't you get a lame sundae one time? I'll say a non-lame sundae?

Did we see Illuminations after B&C?

No.

What shows did I see around WS?

The American Experience and the movie in France?

What recent Pixar movie (within the last 4 years) was playing at the Dig Site this night?

Up?
 
Yes, I can finally join in!! Better late than never right?

I'm so glad you loved the hotel! Wasn't the location just PERFECT! Did you figure out that indoor pathway to the Metro? It was in the middle of everything so walking around wouldn't have been so bad either. I miss their beds....

Great morning in MK! I can't believe Fantasyland was that empty! I've never been on a whole slew of Fantasyland rides either, but I'll be remedying that on my next trip. I think after listening to the CDs you burned for me, I like Splash Mountain even more, even if it DOES still creep me out a little....


How many people were ahead me at the Epcot turnstiles for rope drop?
A whole Brazilian tour group.

What special gift did we get from a CM on our way to get into position for Soarin?
A gift? Um...all I can think of is that time pass thing.

Did we ride Soarin' standby or FP first?
FP first

What 3 things (appetizer, entree, dessert) did I order at Le Cellier? (one point each)
The usual. Cheddar cheese soup, mushroom fillet, and maple creme brulee.

How did we get to B&C from Epcot?
You walked there from the International Gateway!

What did we order at B&C?
A large sundae, not the tiny little one.

Did we see Illuminations after B&C?
