Tim and Lesley Year of Million Compromises/TONS pics- 8/5 help me pg. 164!!!

Wow, Akerhaus sounds great...I figured you would have more changes coming! lol!!! Glad to hear all the great things about 1900 PF as well since we are trying that for the first time this trip!

My DD is totally webkinz obsessed, she has 22 of them now! (she has been collecting them for a year and a half) So she doesn't have a one room home, she has a mansion, I think those things reproduce on there when the computer is shut off or something, cuz they are everywhere in her "house" Our local flower shop calls us when they come in, once when they couldn't get ahold of me, they called the school to have a note sent home... how crazy is that! Only in Hicksville, IL. LOL I will PM you her ID name, Kenzie always loves to play games against the other people, I like how they have the safe chat type of thing, only being able to pick from selected phrases to send to one another.
You are totally right, a disney one with their plushes would be awesome! I don't know how much time Kenzie would get to play on it though...I would probably take it over

You get to meet Belle When you first walk in. Keep your camera handy though, this is one of those photos that they try and sell you during your dinner. They do not put it on your photo pass.

They must do a different Princess in the front at different times. We had Aurora for lunch when we were there in Jan. Strange. That is a bummer about the photo passes. I have heard from 2 people that they did that. Would make it a lot easier...but still a great place to see the ladies!

 

[timandlesley]

First of all, your pictures of the beach looked like so much fun! I wish I was there now...not in SNOW in April!

We have eaten Lunch & Dinner at Askerhaus. Both were good, not wowsers meal-wise. BUT the Princess interaction is hands down great! Hands down! My suggestion would be to start eating the cold buffet before you place your order. Both times our main meals came out before we even went to the cold buffet. I had the ribs last time (Jan) and they were fatty. Could have been the cut that day...never know. I have also had the meatloaf concoction...blahk. JMO though. The dessert tray is super yummo! I loved the rice pudding and my DH & DS loved the chocolate dessert.

When you get there the girls can take a picture with Princess Aurora. She spent a good amount of time with our kids. I heard a tip (after I got home) about not buying the photos that they take right there and asking them to add the photos to your photo pass. Cheaper that way. It is a great idea. My DH gave right in when that picture showed up with our DD dressed up as Princess Aurora and Aurora herself...gave like melted butter. You bet he bought that $40 (or something close to that) picture set then and there!

So what did the meatloaf thingy taste like? What would you order if you went again? I am worried, if the food stinks I'd rather do Park Fare which we LOVE but I want LAuren to meet all the princesses, oh what to do So that photographer would take a pic w/ your camera? If so that's the way to go!!!

Congrats on paying off the trip Funny, we had such a cruel twist of fate... The day all of our trip paperwork came in the mail so did our Disney Visa bill! Nice huh!

Thank you! Oh man, that stinks about the bill

Askerhaus is great. I can't believe that Cinderella was there!! I thought she only ate in her castle.

Here's my SIL and Niece when we were there in February.

Such cute pics, now I remember these from your trip report. What did you eat, any suggestions?? The girl from my class who went had Belle in peasant wear and Aurora in the lobby (this Aurora was a bit freaky looking in my oppinion actually)

Thanks for the PM, I PM'd you too, Luke will be THRILLED! Luke is up to 9 webkinz and loving life! WE spoil that child - he's only been collecting since Feb (he did get 3 for his b-day though - look at me trying to justify myself )

They do different ones all the time I guess. Maybe we'll luck out and get Cindy too : )

What are webkinz and is this something that my sons will just have to be collecting soon? Am I "out of the loop"?

We had Belle, Ariel, Mulan, and Aurora. But they are ALWAYS subject to change.

I can't stop reading this. I have to go home from work now. LOVE IT! I also read your last one SUPER FAB! Too bad this couldn't be your job you are great at it.

 

[twob4him]

Oh good, Disneyolic, I have no idea what webkins are either. Thats ok...the AAA lady I talked to today had no idea what the Dis was

Lesley we are having dinner at Akershus. How do you pronounce that? Also, does anyone know hoe you go about getting a photopass card? Can you get one at your resort?

 

[timandlesley]

That would be worth switching to breakfast for me, one time I saw it was Jasmine, Mulan, Mary Poppins, and then one other major one like Belle, but I wanted more of the key ones like Ariel, Aurora and Belle so that is why I switched to dinner. What do you think guys?? Stick with dinner, try breakast where I know we'll like the food??

I don't know how to pronounce it. WEbkinz are like an addiction around here, little stuffed animals with codes that link them to an online world to play games with friends, money they use to design their own rooms online, etc., hard to explain but it is super popular with kids around here right now.
The photopass card is given to you in the parks by the photographers, just ask for one the first time they take your pic and hold onto it for your trip, always handing it to you before they snap your photos.

We had breakfast at Akershus on our last trip. The princesses we saw were Mulan, Jasmine, Belle, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. Both my girls asked to do this meal again. We have also tried 1900 Park Faire with them, but no one asked to go back. This trip we picked the earliest ADR again. It is fun walking through Epcot with no one in the park. Last time a nice CM picked us up on his cart so we didn't have to trek the entire way on foot.

 

[Sooze]

Not to stay on the Webkinz thing... but how on Earth does your son take care of NINE webkinz?!?!?! Does he play games and earn Kinzcash for ALL of them?! Does he have rooms for all of them too? That just sounds so overwhelming!!

 

[timandlesley]

Sooze, I know kids here at school with 20+. It isn't too bad, yes they each have their own room, but you only really need to feed and take care of one at a time. The others kind of go into shut down mode and nothing happens to their health, etc. when you aren't playing with them specifically. He loves it!

[Disneyolic]

Where do you get these Webkinz? Of course, maybe I don't want to know because my kids will invade MY computer.

Oh, you will start an addiction. Actually you can go to www.webkinz.com and on the main page search for locations of where they sell them - our local hallmarks, small specialty gift shops and even our Bob evans has them.

The meatloaf was just YUCK... I would stay away from it. And I love meatloaf...love it.

The only reason we did it again this trip was to see the Princess Ladies. It by far is not my favorite meal taste wise...but memories out do tastes! TGM says don't do breakfasts, so I would skip that, unless you have a down day that you plan on starting it with. The lunch and dinner both have the same food I think.

We had Aurora in the front. Inside was Jasmin, Cindy, Belle, Ariel. The CM's told me that Cindy is coming there more often lately (that was Jan, though). I will be adding it to my TR in a few days, if you want to see the review, I can let you know when it is up.

 

[pooksma]

I know I (and probably others) have whined about this before but.... What will it take for Disney to have a Boy's meal???? I know they did a trial last year but that seems to have gone no where. Bummer! I know my DS would love it and from your stories, I'll bet Luke would too.

 

[medicgirl911]

Just wanted to pipe in as well that the poor webkinz family survives well when you have a ton of them the one you are not paying with doesn't lose health/ hunger/happiness when they are not the "active" pet. My DD has 22 of them, I feel bad for them, all over the place forgotten in her 22 room "mansion" hehe since she only places with her most recent acquisition lol! Some of the games they have on there are fun and kind of addicting....... I mean not that I have ever gotten on there and played or anything
