I got way, way behind again, but all caught up now!
First time I remember seeing a report about a meal upstairs in Wolfgang Puck - looks nice!
Yay, you met Dug! Love him!
Mmmmm, No Way Jose! It's been too long since I've had one of those, but LOVE them!
Congrats on your Galactic Hero status! I had no idea there was a button - I should have gotten one this last trip - I managed to max out with a toddler riding next to me!
I can't believe it took you so long to get to the MK on this trip. Too bad the Mine Train was being a tease, though.
It's a great restaurant, I highly recommend it. One of the best meals we had on the trip.
Dug was awesome! I love him!
They do have a button! If you go up to the PP area, they have them pre-made and ready to go.
I couldn't believe it either! It was mainly because the first few days were Epcot based because of Flower and Garden.
MMMM Beaches and Cream is such a great and simple meal. Who can go wrong with burgers and ice cream?
YAY for meandering around MK that night. I too heard the trains in early May and made a bee line to look too.![]()

It really is. And the fact that they take reservations now is a plus.
Hahaha, so stupid right? We're there so often, and then something new is there and we're all like "where?!"
Mmmm, peanut butter and chocolate, I'm totally convinced that came straight from someone in heaven, just to give us a taste of things to come.
I still haven't been to Beaches and Cream, maybe Tyler and I will go there next trip.I'll have to ask him if he wants to go there.
it is some amazing business. You need to get over there ASAP. You won't regret it.
I'm so glad PapaDon's leg was feeling better, I'm shocked to hear it felt better that quickly, yeaaay for his leg.
Your dress is too adorable. I think that's one I was showing Mackie when we were in Hot Topic at one point, that one and the lanterns scene on Tangled when they are in the boat facing each other.The top is all black and then the skirt portion of the dress is the scene, you should look into that one, it would be soooo cute on you.
Here it is!

I could totally see you in that last one.![]()
I totally have both of those dresses! There are two fundamental problems with them currently though.
I order them a size bigger than I wear, and they're still too small on top! So, I am on a mission to make them fit.
The other problem is fixable. I'm so tall, that they're really not a dress on me, so I have to wear them with leggings. Much like the Alice dress I was wearing in the update.
There's also a Peter Pan one that I love. I might have to go in there and try it on. See if I can squeeze into it.
It's nice you and PapaDon got a chance to spend some daughter/father time together and poo-poo to the mean old CM, what was her stinkin problem any way?!? I've never understood someone who doesn't like to deal with people, then go into a job that is all about pleasing and being good to the customer!!WTHeck?!?
Their sizes run really small, which is a frustration. Some of their items fit perfectly, and then others are like "really? That's not the size...."
I'm going to say that it was nearing the end of her shift and she was ready to go home. Which is not acceptable by any means, but that's how she was behaving.
When they are being like that I tell them....."I don't appreciate your non-Disney attitude and would your manager think you were being the Disney CM they expect you should be?" Usually does the trick. I'm also good at going to the closest manager and letting them know that the CM so-and-so is not being very Disney like in their handling of customers, I'm sure to compliment where I can but I'm also one to report it when they aren't doing what they should, especially when it's pretty blatant and outright not called for.
That's exactly what they should be told! I mean, their jobs aren't that hard, I'm sorry. I worked at a theme park for six years, and I wish I could have worked there forever. Sadly, it doesn't pay the bills. Just don't be a jackwagon.
This happened on one of our first few days in WDW during our last trip.. It happened in DHS at Starring Rolls, it was lunch time and since there aren't very many places I like to go to eat in DHS, Mackie and I decided to go there to share one of those mile high sandwiches and a cupcake. Well, it's a CS meal so it comes with a drink and dessert or a salad or something like that. When I asked the young lady behind the counter for the sandwiches she snapped at me and said they didn't have any sandwiches it was still breakfast. She had a heavy accent and seemed very irritated that she had to even speak to me let alone wait on me, I thought maybe she was having a tough time with the language barrier and thought she was having a rough day of it.
I then, with a more no nonsense (not ugly but confident)and not as much of a sing-song voice as I'd normally have and asked if it was their lunch hour and since the sign said they would be serving sandwiches at that time, when did she think they might be ready so I could come back then?
She snapped pretty quickly at me and said they didn't have any, like I was too stupid to understand her the first time.
The CM next to her was pretty shocked by her attitude and tried to smooth things over and speak to the girl, but that girl was not having any of it and started cursing me in another language. I was pretty shocked myself by this girls blatant disregard for another human being, let alone her lack of wanting to be helpful. It's always a shock when someone working there acts this way, it always takes me aback when it happens. Almost like someone slaps you out of no where.
So, I went up to the lady who was ringing people out and asked her what time the sandwiches would be coming out and she looked at me like I was growing a second head as I spoke, she said they should have already been out and why didn't I have one already, I proceeded to tell her about me trying to get one and how the young lady's attitude turned sour with me asking, and how very un-Disney she was being toward me when I asked about it again.
I also told her how I thought she had no business working at Disney with such a rude way of dealing with people.
Well! This woman was not having any of it! She started barking orders and would you know it, low and behold the rude girl had sandwiches out from behind that curtain in the back in two shakes! The lady at the register kept apologizing and calling me honey or sweetie, you know like a Mama or Grandma would do and told me to pick out some extra things to eat.She was so sweet. I told her I didn't mind paying for the items and she said absolutely not, to get what I wanted.
Now that's Disney customer service! Not that I expect anything for free, or that they should give me anything, but falling all over yourself to please someone is what I've come to love about Disney and expect when I'm there.
But I also expect it from myself, I'm just as fall all over myself pleasant to the CM when I'm around them, and I try to be as wonderful as I expect them to be, no one should be facing the rude world that they've left behind while we are in Disney.Not even the CM.
No way Jose, we should be getting the best customer service because that's how Disney planned it to be from the start, and frankly because we spend a boat load of money when we're there.![]()

I meant that to be funny, not to sound like a spoiled brat.
Sorry to ramble.![]()
Great update, mate!![]()
Oooff, that's horrible! I haven't had anything near that bad at Disney, and sometimes I think I wander around with rose colored glasses a little, so a lot of stuff that could irritate me just rolls off my back. That's just crazy though. I would have been steaming. I'm so nice normally in any situation, always say thank you and please, and when people don't give you common courtesy, it's frustrating. It's the world we live in today.
