It's nice to have some entertainment with the reviews. 
I love you're reviews. Can't wait to hear more.
Well, yum!
Thanks for another great review, Nicki.
And you're way ahead of me on reviews...we were there in January 2011 and I didn't do a review at all (lost my photos due to issues with a new camera, and then my notes were thrown out by accident.) I may try to reconstruct our January experience from memory...
And we were there again last week for 2 days mid-week. I do have photos & notes for that one, just haven't got around to doing the review yet.
So not going "live" but still getting that review up within a week of your trip...well, you're way ahead of me,
Finally have about 10 days with no houseguests (at our Florida condo) so maybe I'll have time to catch up on reviews while cleaning the place& doing a mountain of laundry
Amazing reviews as usual Nicki!Ugh, I really need to book another trip I think.
I must say, you have a lot of patience with that hubby of yours!
Looks like you had a good time! I deny myself the French bakery because I know I'll walk out of there 10 pounds heavier! Everything looks good in there, everything.
Hi! I came over from Kathy's PTR, and I'm really glad I did! I loved reading all your reviews. I'm excited to read about your trip in October.
I just love her, she is an amazing friendThanks for sharing your great reviews and pictures!
Kathy
great review!
Thanks for your awesome mini report. I'm a newbie to your reviews, but definitely hooked!
PS. I feel so full after reading.
Thank you for the kind words and for following along! I want to be back at WDW so badly right now!
I always say, Men...cant shoot em, need em to pay for WDW vacations!
Next time we go to the French Bakery we both want to try the pizza looking thing and the cheese plate...wish I could squeeze in another day this past trip just so we could eat there again
So true, so very true! I'll probably walk in and say 'bonjour, I'll take everything on the left side of the case please.' You know what you should do, you should contact Disney or the disneyfoodblog.com and ask them if they need anyone to do food reviews! Perfect job for you!
You and me both sister! If I could magically transport myself back there, I'd do it!
I don't think I'll have as much resolve next time we walk past the French bakery!
Thanks again for the fab reviews Nicki! They're always a pleasure. I'm thinking I should just give you a list of where I want to eat, some cash, and then you and Todd can review those places for me. That's not too much trouble, right?
I wouldn't worry about those ressies...you'll only have to change them 100 times anyway.
Oh, and current airfare if I were to come with Mark next month -- $1000. I don't think so.
Oh man, that price is insane!
I just booked our Oct room...BUT....I think Todd is gonna kill me as I booked a king bed at POFQ instead of CBR
Do you think he will forgive me when I tell him he can eat biscuits and gravy and taco salads every day??
). Mark is getting on a plane in an hour for Vegas.
I'm hoping to buy a scratch ticket and win and get that airline cut in half (but I'm not holding my breath for it).
No, I don't think he will kill you. I think he will appreciate having the bigger bed (I don't know how he sleeps on those small beds). We got our confirmation on our AKL room (it's on my PTR if you stopped over
Looks like it was a great weekend! Thanks so much for sharing. I love your reviews! The cantaloopy is on my to-try list... love the name!
Ah...the last two weeks have been a whrilwind..hard to believe we were in Florida a little over a week ago!Now it is uh oh, time to go time and we were going to take our time walking out of Epcot.
Mosey over to Norway were the line was still long but we skipped to the front and rode DH's fave ride. Getting out of that ride was pure he**! The crowds are too large to funnel through the gift shops with people trying to get a troll picture, kids with swords, adults with Viking hats and a nasty perfume store in the middle of it!
As we were strolling around the countries we chatted about our Oct trip...our longest yet, 10 nights! I think we are missing our CS stuff so we will try to do alot more of them. We also like the resort restaurants better than the park ones and they are easier to get to with our own car plus the F&W is going on and that is nice for a few meals. Signatures are a must so we will add some of them in and maybe more TS lunches this time. I still have 2 months to decide but it is looking like I will have an easier time of it...until I show the plans to Lord Mess Em Up
Here is a teaser. Breakfast at Kona, Cape May and Olivias. Lunch at the Grand Floridian Tea, Kona, The Plaza, Yak & Yeti, Rose & Crown. Dinner at Artist Point, Tutto Italia, Fultons, Cape May, Flying Fish, BlueZoo, Citricos
Now back to our final moments
I knew it was bound to happen...I was waiting for it and waiting for it.
TODD: You know we didnt get dessert in Mexico.
ME: Yes I was there, I know.
TODD: Well we have to get something
ME: Enlighten me O sweet tooth one...what is on your mind
TODD: I dont know, what do you think?
ME: (Cue the laughing) Dude, did you forget that we have been together for 20 years? I am hip to your jive
TODD: I have no idea what you are talking about
ME: Spill...Germany or France? Pick your poison
TODD: Well I was thi-
ME: I KNEW IT! You cannot fool me!
TODD: -nking that we would get that chocolate cake everyone was getting from France
ME: Whats this WE you speak of?
TODD: Well we can share it
ME: Your idea or sharing or the real idea of sharing?
TODD: Whats the difference
ME: Your version is you eat while I get to pick the crumbs off your shirt as they fall from your mouth and my version were I actually get my own fork
TODD: (Looks at me, keeps walking, looks at me again and says) Ok fine you can have your own fork
Oh joy..did I tell you that I dont care for chocolate cake, brownies etc? See, he knows this therefore he is acting like he is conceding by giving in and letting me have my own for fork
We hike our way through the sea of people to the bakery, which suprisingly is deadville. Great lets get this cake and get outta here.
The cake was amazing, I will give him that. I did have my own fork but had just 2 bites and let him relish the rest of it. Very moist, not too sweet at all which is probably why I liked it, a chocolate pudding like filling between the layers and a mocha frosting dollop on top. Oh yes, he was in love big time!
It was the perfect end to a perfect trip....made us quickly forget about our yuck meal at SAI
And then it was board the boat, get the car and get on the road time. We had the best weekend, it was so much fun and meeting our Dis Friends was the best!
Thanks so much for reading along, hope you had a fun time with this Nicki Quickie Review!
And PS...if you were wondering what we had for dinner when we got home (because you know he had to pester me about that)....I had an orange and he had a peanut butter sandwich
You have no idea.
Oh man, that price is insane!
I just booked our Oct room...BUT....I think Todd is gonna kill me as I booked a king bed at POFQ instead of CBR
Do you think he will forgive me when I tell him he can eat biscuits and gravy and taco salads every day??
One, in particular, I've been going to my whole life. And their pizza is so much better than VNs.
First of all, please accept my most sincere apologies for neglecting you over here for this long. I have read through this more than once, which is the strange part, just didn't post! What's wrong with me???
You can come late to my party anytime! I bet you wish you were still here, the weather is sunny and 80 every single day!
That will be so much fun! Ten nights should be fantastic. As always, will be looking forward to your reviews.
We are really looking forward to this one, our longest stay ever. Drive up and arrive around 6 on Thur and come home 10 days later!
Ooo...POFQ...gotta admit that their newly rehabbed rooms has me seriously considering that for our next stay...whenever that might be!
I am thrilled to go back to POFQ, in fact that is where we are staying for May..it was just $30 difference from CBR and POR so I said lets go for the quieter resort.
I have to just add my two cents, now that I've eaten at Via Napoli. Of course, there will be a longer review in my TR, but for now... I have to say that there was something about the whole place that I just thought was a bit off. Our server was a little...not rude exactly, but condescending, perhaps? I tried to ask him to explain the difference between their house made aqua fresca and a Pellegrino Aranciata and he looked at me like he had no clue what I was talking about.
Well thats not cool...we have had shy waiters there but the rude ones we had were at Tutto Italia...wonder if they switched them around a bit?
And I thought the pizza was OK. Believe it or not, but New Haven is known for thier Neapolitan-style pizza and there are a few places that use big, old brick ovens and have been in business since the early 20th century. I know...that long!
The first few times we went it was awesome but not so much this time...I miss NE pizza, we had the best in Boston
Oh...well...it sometimes takes a lot to impress me with Italian food. When you are Italian, it becomes so personal!
I agree with that 100%
Of course, I can't say we wouldn't try it again, either. It was cute and cheaper than Tutto, that's for sure. And the food was good...just not great. And your reviews and all the early reviews had me so excited. Oh well.
That is true and we didnt feel rushed there either and at Tutto we always felt rushed. Trust me, we were disappointed this time too
Our breakfast was good!
I've gotten through the first page while trying not to laugh....see, I'm at work and it would suck to get fired for cracking up over dining reviews!!!
