The Mr & Mrs do disney Nov/Dec 09 - UPDATE : can the last one out turn the lights off

Ooooooh! I love Garden Grill! Have you ever been there? It is so yummy! And, the restaurant rotates...but you don't feel it or get dizzy! The characters and food there are great!
 
congrats!!! Hopefully you had a better meal than I did there!! I had heard horror stories about GG and the food but I had eaten at all the other Epcot TS restaurants and this was the last one to complete the list and lets just say we ended up going into WS and eating again bc the food was horrible :( The characters were wonderful and our server was eh-one girl in our party was celebrating her bday and the server did not even mention it and we had said something to another server who brought her out a cupcake and Pluto was sweet and drew her a cupcake on a napkin!! All three in my party decided that we could eat in much better places than GG sad to say and we were soooo excited to eat there too!!!

So hopefully you have a much better time than we did!!!!
 
Oh! I love Garden Grill! Chip and Dale were such flirts when we were there. Keep in mind it was just me and my sister so they had every reason to be :blush: It was hilarious though! You had to be there.... anyways! Hope you fully enjoy it! Sadly I can't comment on the food as I was suffering from Disney food overload :sick: and my stomach had decided to turn on me.

I cannot believe that baby is NOT real. Are you sure? That's really freaky.

To comment on rope drop and such - I am always the one that shoots up at 6am (sometimes even 5:45am) to get everyone out the door for rope drop. Usually the Disney adrenaline kicks in so feeling tired doesn't hit me until a few hours later. We once spent 14 hours in Epcot. That was quite the adventure to say the least. My mom's feet ended up like this though :rolleyes1

:lmao: What my mom will do for Disney!

I have been on ToT once or twice and have never got the courage to go back on it again. I'm not a big fan of the drop rides AND/OR the spinny rides. I get bad anxiety attacks some times so I tried to avoid the situation the best I can.... I'm getting better though! I actually race to Splash Mountain now. I used to be terrified of that ride for the silly little drop. My mom is a bigger wuss than me when it comes to rides. She still refuses to go on Splash Mountain. And Space Mountain? Forget about it. I'm going to have to talk some sense into her for our April trip next year!

 
Way to go on GG we went last time we were there and it was one of our favs. You will get hooked on the Raspberry ving salad dressing we did and now use it at home all the time. Way to go on rope drop they are lots of fun just don't get stepped on, they can get rather pushy to race for the fastpasses. Tot isn't that bad and I agree a little treat after to reward yourself is just the ticket, any reason to shop will do.:rolleyes1 Alltho DH says I don't need a reason to shop except maybe that it's Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday. I personally think those are great reasons, don't you?:banana:
 

I'm liking the shopping at the end of it already, you just knew that would push my buttons didnt you!! :laughing:
That baby must be real!!?? Surely!! It looks 100% real!!!

I think you gave yourself away when it comes to your shopping addiction. :lmao:Every other post from you is what you bought or what you want to buy. So it's easy to push your butons. And honestly if you conquer your fear of Tot, you deserve a prize!!!

Yes the baby is %100 percent fake. Another one of my crafts.;) I made him, I made her too.

Grats on GG! It's soooo freakin' tasty, and when I went in 2006, it was the best character interaction of any meal we did. Chip and Dale were the BEST, soooo funny. They spent alot of time playing with us, even though were just two adults. We loved it! :woohoo:
 
See it all worked out!! I think a lot of people have canceled there ADR's now that we're getting closer!!

YAY for Garden Grill!!!

Woohoo :woohoo: I just need 1900 park fare for breakfast on the 30th and then my dream plan can be put into action !!

YAY!!! I love to hear about ADR's working out for my DISfamily

Thanks honey !!

Awww honey, i'm sorry you had a bad time there :sad2: I'll go with an open mind as I'm more interested in chip n dale and seeing the restuarant than the food - plus i NEED to get myself a strawberry shortcake from sunshine seasons, so that can be my back up food plan :lmao:

I'm glad you enjoyed GG!! I looove chip n dale, they are always so funny and totally interact with guests! Awww bless your poor mum!! My feet have been in a similar mess so I feel her pain :laughing:

Must admit, I've never been on Splash or Space Mountain! I'm 100% wuss arent I :lmao: Just leave me on haunted mansion, potc and buzz and i'm happy! I'm wondering whether to give ToT a miss now, maybe my bravery will spank me in the butt if I try it, i'll probably faint :laughing:

Glad you enjoyed it, cant wait to try the dressing you mentioned! I think I might hold back and send DH running forward for both of us :laughing: Or i'll wait until they all trip over each other and then i'll climb over them and be first :lmao: yeah right, who am I kidding :rotfl2: Definately, any day that ends with a 'Y' can be a shopping day ;)

:rotfl2: you know me soooo well, i've just mentioned shopping in the above post :laughing: I hold my hands up and say shopping is one of my fave sports :laughing: You dont find me in expensive label shops though, the better the bargain the more I love it, so at least i'm not breaking the bank :yay:

You made them? You are surely winding me up? They look REAL dude?!?!

You know what you need? I think you know.

Oh I know you very well... Mrs. Shopping McShopperpants.


Dude! I kid you not, those a re vinyl babies. It's all in the paint job!! Any my friend who taught me how to make them said I was a natural at rooting the hair, which by the way is baby goat hair.

I forgot to say in my last post. Yay! Garden Grill. I heard that was a fun one.
 
Nope...you definitely don't feel it rotating. It takes an hour for it to do a full rotation. So, it is real slow. It is cool though how your scenery keeps changing! I hope it is still good for us and for you since others have given it bad reviews?? We haven't been there since February 2008.
 
You know, it's funny because I went to my mom's and was looking through our old Disney pictures (LOL our last trip I made DH find a video tape player so we would watch the videos too :lmao:) anyway and I noticed that we had gone to the Garden Grill. Then I began to remember it. The only thing I wanted when we went to Disney was one of those Daisy hats with the eye lashes on them.

not mine, just a pic I found

Well my parents got me one and I wore it the entire trip!!! Well when we went to the Garden Grill Chip and Dale were messing with me and took my hat LOL and we have pictures of both of them wearing my Daisy hat! Then they went and put it on my Dad!!! Even now as an adult the picture of my Dad in that Daisy hat cracks me up!!! Maybe I'll scan the pictures, because they can just classic!!

We are going there on our second full park day...December 4th.

I was trying to get our epcot day to be the 4th aswell but I've not had any luck in moving our ohana breakfast to another day and we wanted to do epcot rope drop so thats why we've ended up with it on the 28th.

If you find yourself at Epcot during the day on 12/3 (my birthday!) or the evening on 12/4 (evening EMH, yay!), we'll have to go do some shopping together. ;):thumbsup2

Sounds like a good plan! We're at MK all day on the 3rd & MVMCP and then on the 4th we've got ohana breakfast and then going shopping on i-drive but i'm wondering whether we could nip in epcot on the way back ;) Depends how carried away I get in the shops :lmao:

I'll check your PJ because i think we overlapped plans on some other days too when we could meet up :thumbsup2 :banana:
