Glad you are enjoying it, yes Tim does well, guess that's why I stick around
just kidding!

Tim scores big points! What a great birthday dinner, filled with many surprises.
It was an awesome dinner! Chalk one up for Tim!
Lesley
Go Tim! I've said it before but I'm going to say it again. You've got a great guy! I'm so glad you liked Coral Reef. We ate there for the first time last year and loved it. We were seated right next to the tank too, the kids just stared at the tank the entire time. Unlike you, I could not order fish with all those fish looking at me, I was safe with the steak since I didn't see any cowfish. My oldest son did order the Mahi Mahi and loved it though. I can't wait to read more.
I know, I do. Coral reef was wonderful. You know, it's funny- we had that same discussion, I said "it's a bit weird that I'm sitting here eating fish while sitting here enjoying watching them" but they were so good I couldn't resist, twisted I know.
Lesley
Lesley, I loved reading about your birthday dinner! How sweet of Tim to remember and get strawberries again! The pic of Lauren eating her bisque is sooo cute- what a doll!
Keep it coming!
Oh yes, very sweet those strawberries were GOOD!!!
Lesley
Hi,
I am enjoying reading your report. We don't go till Oct, but we are very excited. Glad you had a great time. I have a question about Coral Reef. Are the tables next to the tanks only for 4 or are they for bigger parties like 6 also? You may not have noticed but if you did can you comment?
Again, thanks so much.
Regina
Glad you are enjoying it and I am helping time pass until you return in October. Actually yes, there was a party of 6 in front of us at the tank. There are also awesome booths for larger parties on the bottom facing the tanks, those would actually be better seats.
Lesley
Lesley happy to hear you had a wonderful b-day. Loved the pictures, too cute. More, more, we want more...=o)
Thanks! I'll work on more tomorrow, taking the night off tonight to go to church and to a movie with Tim
Lesley
Lesley, I'm glad you had such a magical and memorable birthday!
We missed all the nighttime shows (except Fantasmic) this year, and I can't wait for next year when the baby is older so that we can watch them!
Can't wait for more!
I know, it's hard with little ones, I completely understand!
Lesley
Lesley,
I am beyond jealous that your kids will eat seafood. I don't know where I went wrong....even though my older two kids have to be on the adult dining plan, they still ordered pb&j about half the time! :
And meanwhile, Lauren is having lobster bisque!
My DS 6 would have loved the fish in the aquarium too. But, we skipped the Coral Reef b/c pb&j wasn't on the menu.
The strawberries looked almost too good to eat....you have an amazingly thoughtful DH!
I was fortunate, the kids surprised me, they never have been picky eaters though.
Lesley
Love your report such great pictures to capture the excitement reminds me of the surprises we would get from dad while waiting for the parades to start...i still have the giant stuffed fantasia bird! makes me weepy hope i can get back to the world for my 25th birthday!
Glad you are enjoying it and that it brought back a nice memory for you. I hope you are able to return for your bday too!
Lesley
Wow, those strawberries looked awesome! I know you can order them through private dining if you're staying deluxe, but how do you go about ordering them to have them delivered at a restaurant? What's Tim's secret for making good ones at home?
Yes, we stayed at WL and Tim ordered them through private dining to have them delivered to our room last year, SO GOOD!!! At home Tim uses melted chocolate and a little parafin wax and dips them in, YUM!!!!
Lesley
What an awesome Birthday. It just sounds so perfect. Tim did a great job.
He did Well!!!
I missed your Pre-Trip, but am happy to have found your Trip Report now!!
Looks like you had an awesome trip - can't wait to hear about the rest of it.
We can't wait to go back down with little ones of our own some day - it has to be so amazing to see everything thru their eyes.
Glad you have found us and are joining in on the fun. It is a joy seeing Disney through your childrens eyes, you will love that!
Lesley
What a WONDERFUL birthday you had!!! And those strawberries....YUM!
I can't wait to read more!
Double yum!!! Thanks.
Lesley
Leslie,
(Belated!!)
What a perfect day!
Kathy
Thanks Kathy!!!
I'm SO glad that your trip was great.
You all definitely deserve a great Disney vacation! Love all the pics - those combined with all the details make this TR the next best thing to being there. Thanks again for writing this - it's keeping me from going crazy till our trip in October!
I was so happy we had such a great trip, you never know with health, weather, crowds, heat, etc. it was GREAT!!! Glad you are enjoying the TR, more to come!
Lesley
like the others said, i feel like I am there with all of your details....maybe Disney PR company should give you free trips down there, maybe they should let you try out each hotel and different seasons and you can write trip reports each time....
The food looked awesome at CR. I just love food porn.
