Ugh, what were we thinking?! 9 days Deluxe Dining with pics! MY Number 2! 7/21!

[gibbersome]

Jiko looks great, going to have to make time for it in our plans!

 

[Leshaface]

Have you considered starting multiple photobucket accounts to upload your pictures to? Or what about uploading to Flickr? You can have 250 photos on there I believe. Maybe you should host them on Facebook instead?

I would love to read your reviews but unfortunately can't appreciate them because the pictures don't show up. =(

I have two Photobucket accounts right now, but everytime I add pics to one account, it always seems to go down! Then when those pics show, I go to my other account and add there and then those pics don't show up! I'm seriously considering upgrading to Pro! It's really not much!

I know what you mean...a review is not REALLY a review without yummy pics to drool over!

I love your trip report and was thrilled to see the pictures back. The last couple days were crazy and I couldn't find the time to sit down and read the whole thing. I just sat down, looking forward to reading the 2nd half and the pictures dissappeared! No! Such a bummer, your pictures were really great. Thank you for taking the time to write such an informative review.

Haha! Dangit I'm sorry!! I promise they'll be showing up soon!!! But am glad that you took the time to think about me!

I was on the fence about doing Jiko, but you pushed me over. We will be trying it for the first time this trip. We are going to do a dinner alone and I am so excited. You also pushed us over the fence for Hollywood Brown Derby.

I'm glad I heaved you over that fence!!! I'm pretty good at doing that I think! You CAN'T and WON'T go wrong with both of these places!

Jiko looks great, going to have to make time for it in our plans!

Gibbersome...LOVE your name...when my dad was alive, my nickname was Gibbie to him! Brings back great memories!

Sorry guys! Have been gone for a little bit, but now I'm back! Well, only for a little bit...I have to leave tomorrow for a business dinner in LA and from there, I'm headed to a Chili cook off over on the Central Coast. This will be our third time doing this chili cook off as a family and it's so fun!

As you can tell, my pics are still not up, but will be up soon, and that's when I can post my last and final review... Waaaaahhhh

Hope everyone's doing well!!!

 

[tink1957]

Hope you have fun, we'll be waiting patiently until you get back.

 

[Gouden Leeuw]

.....your review is almost over! You got me hooked on them!!

I'm writing up my pre trip report so hopefully that will help the sorrow. lol

Have fun at the Chili cook off!! Are you actually entering? If so, lots of luck!

Cheers!

I know! I don't want it to end!

Oh good! I need to head over there then...let me know when it's up!

I wish I was entering! I have a recipe that my friend gave to me that is beyond good! Her recipe was actually the winning Chili out of all the entries in Long Beach, including all the top restaurants!...unfortunately she was disqualified because she had kidney beans in her chili! Ummm, isn't chili supposed to have kidney beans?!?!

Hey, I have to chime in here...a fellow New Yorker!!! Yeah, I agree, this girl has to get to NY!!

Where in Long Island, if you don't mind me asking? I live in Brooklyn!

Excellent, 2 New Yorkers! I know, I know, my location says New Jersey...but, I was born and raised a New Yorker. I grew up in Woodhaven, Queens, and moved to Pearl River in Rockland County when I was 7. Unfortunately, I now live in wonderful New Jersey (no offense to any New Jerseyans on here! ).

Hey, New Jersey is fine too! I have cousins who live in various parts of NJ, and they are all very cool people!

But, being a New Yorker, of course we make fun of NJ sometimes! It's just fun like that!!! They make fun of us too, it's all in good fun!

I love living in NY but I wish it was close enough to WDW so we wouldn't have to stop overnight on the drive there! And I hate to fly...I have some serious issues with flying!

I know, it's tough, I grew up in New York and always kind of made fun of New Jersey...I still really feel like I'm a New Yorker at heart! I am not meant to be in New Jersey!

I also wish it was closer to WDW!!! I don't have trouble flying (I actually used to enjoy flying before the airlines got so cheap and made the whole thing a miserable experience!) but I would LOVE to be closer to the World!

HOLLERRRRRR!!!!!!!! I'm in Western Nassau County, on the North Shore. Right off the LIE and Northern State. Super convenient! We're in BK and Queens often though, we have lots of friends in those parts.

Hey!!!!!

We go to Long Island pretty often too. We love Roosevelt Field for shopping, used to love the Source mall too but that place is depressing now. We love to eat at Mindao, the Japanese buffet restaurant. I'm a sushi junkie and theirs is wonderful! Very fresh, they make it right in front of you and they can't make it fast enough!! We also love On the Border, I know it's not REAL Mexican food but being from NY we're not used to authentic Mexican like the southwest!

Hi Allegra! Oh congrats on your one year anniversary! Very exciting! Even more exciting that your spending it at the world! I know...It's so gnarly that the surf n turf sucks...I mean filet mignon with a lobster tail!?! That's an insane meal to have! Ugh, too bad it was just lagging...

An escapade it was! A glorious one at that! LOL! Well you're just gonna have to report back with your date from the Ditch! I believe bar stories are the best!

Bangzoom just gotta tell you...whenever you guys do make the trip out here to Cali when your kids are older, you MUST try some REAL Mexican food out here...there are TONS of taco trucks and taquerias about a mile or 2 from Disneyland...and honestly it might sound weird to be ordering food straight out of a vehicle, but it's seriously the BEST!!!!

I am only half way through reading your reviews so far, but I am really enjoying them! THANK YOU! You are hilarious... and you and DH are so cute! I have definitely LOL'ed a few times at my desk at work reading your reviews. oops!

Quick question though...

Our ADR was for 11:45, got our check at 12:39 according to the reciept, so close to an hour, so hopefully you can plan accordingly!

Were you able to keep a copy of your receipt?? I have heard some people say they take the receipt away and bring one back that just has a zero balance. I am interested in keeping copies of all of our receipts if I can.

So glad you're enjoying them!

As for the receipts, they always brought out at least 3 different copies of receipts for you to take. They showed not only what you owed off the dining plan (ex:alcohol), but showed how many dining credits you used toward your meal and how many credits you have left.

I hope this makes sense. If you have any other questions please ask. If you want I can scan my receipts to show you!

so I will be able to take something with me that shows the price of our meals?

Thanks for offering to scan your receipts, but I wont make you do that! I appreciate you answering my questions and sharing your wonderful reviews!

Oh you'll definitely have a few somethings! They give you multiple receipts when you're ready for your check, so that you can take home with you for your records, memories, etc

 

[bangzoom6877]

Leshaface, I don't think eating food off a truck is weird at all...I live in NYC!!!

DH used to work at the Red Door Spa (Elizabeth Arden) on 5th Ave. in Manhattan. He used to get food from this one stand...it was a guy that sold authentic German food (we both love German food). It was his favorite food stand in the city!! We're definitely down for some tacos off a truck if that is the REAL thing!!! I probably won't even want to think of what we call "Mexican" food in NYC after going to Cali! Like when I was in France 14 years ago and couldn't eat a croissant here for about a year afterwards, I kid you not!

Not only are your reviews hilarious, but you are oh so helpful too!
