Not sure if you have come across them but Spireside has candles that smell just like the Poly!!! They also have a Beach Club that is dead on!!!
Thanks for the heads up. We have a few of their other ones, but I didn't know they made a Poly one. Totally getting one for Casey's easter basket.
I LOVE trip wrap-ups, especially when they end, with the promise of another TR coming very soon!!!
Thanks so much. Have a snow day today, so hopefully I can get it started later today
Great review as always, we are going to try Tiffins in August. We will be staying at Casey's smell good resort the Poly. I can't wait for your February review. I will be watching for it. Thanks for reading mine and commenting!
You all should definitely try Tiffins or at least some apps and drinks in the lounge. They even had some great non-alcoholic ones that Casey loved.
Awesome idea. I'm going to look into it
They are really easy to do and that is coming from someone without a crafting bone in her body
I just told Bobby that when we're at AK I'll take him to Nomad Lounge for a drink.
If he loves it anywhere close as us this may tip him to an 11 day trip
saw that you wrapped your trip report up today so I figured it was time for me to finally comment. I love your trip reports. You always give me some good ideas for where to go and what to eat. Your drink at Tiffins looks amazing. I need to add that to my must do list. :;yes:: But I must admit that Jason's fried fish is pretty scary looking. Good for Casey for being brave enough to eat it.
Thanks so much Sue!!!! Looks like you have a trip right around the corner so hopefully lots of good food awaits. If you can't get to Tiffins, definitely try the lounge one afternoon. Its a true get away from the parks experience.
The Wave - We ate there in December and it didn't have a fish smell, thank goodness. We had a nice meal there but it was mostly due to the personable waitress who really made it a nice experience.
Glad to hear they finally got the fish smell out of there
Our server wasn't the best, so maybe that would have made a difference for us. But we still love breakfast, just not sure we'll be back for dinner anytime soon.
GF Cafe - we had breakfast there in December. I had the french toast and it was delicious. But my husband's pancakes were a different story. They were as hard as a rock and totally inedible. Worst of all, the waiter was no where to be seen. DH finally got up and grabbed the hostess. Needless to say, the replacement pancakes were good, and we weren't charged for them. But it kind of ruined the morning for him.
Oh no, I can't believe the pancakes were hard. That is so strange. Wonder if they had them sitting under a heater for a while or something. Glad they made it better though.
Narcossees - we ate here in October and again in December. We were underwhelmed in October. I hadn't expected a signature restaurant to be so noisy. The best things about the meal were the romaine salad, the pressed pot coffee and the almond cheesecake with the bonus of being able to see the Star Wars fireworks from our table. We hadn't planned to return, but when we got a free upgrade to the GF for our December trip, we thought we would give Narcossees a second chance, since it was so convenient to go there. This time I had a direct view of the castle and could watch it change colors for the castle lighting ceremony, which was the most I had ever seen of the ceremony. The restaurant wasn't as noisy as it was our first time. And the table full of children next to us was very well behaved. I had the lobster bisque and made my husband order the side of lobster mac for me. I wasn't sure if it could be ordered separately or if it had to be attached to an entree. Well, I didn't fool the waiter. He knew it was for me.
I thought it had too many bread crumbs but loved the rest of it.
Yeah, Narcoossee's certainly can get louder than the other signatures. Now that I think of it from the noise and decor and even the food, it really is like a signature-light than a true signature.
A free upgrade to GF and a castle view, how on earth did you score that? Sounds amazing.
Glad your second experience was much better than the first. I haven't tried the bisque, but we love the mac and cheese. Best on property IMO
Thank you for a great report! It was a pleasure to read and it kept me from doing other far less interesting things like work (shhh!)
I'll be looking out for the link to your next report.
Thanks. It was a pleasure to right and keep me from doing that pesky work thing too
Aww, what a great ending! I love the fact that your Casey is such an adventurous eater, and walked the parks for that long of a trip! That really does deserve a high fiving fist pumping congratulations!!! Can't wait until you start your next report!
Thanks. We definitely hit the kid lottery that Casey eats (and now walks) so well.
Awesome!! As of right now we are at Saratoga but we may switch.
Yeah we switched to CBR from POR so we could get the $75/night gift card. Stuck in a pirate room but for cold hard cash in my pocket I'll say Arrgh to just about anything
I am dying to go here! That drink actually does sound like a bargain.
You should definitely go on your next trip. The drinks are all amazing!!!!
LOVED your report! At one point I wanted to chant bloody mary's... then decided that might be weird? In any case I'm so excited to be trying Tiffins when we go in May, based on your recommendation. I'm hoping you write a report on your most recent trip because I don't think I can wait until Fall for a new one!
Thanks so much. Bloody Mary chant, weird? Sounds perfect to me!!!! BLOODY MARY, BLOODY MARY, BLOODY MARY
Shaun skipped it last year. He enjoyed his bed more. I went in with our group of friends around 8:30PM that we had dinner with and I called it before the party even started as it was 9:30PM and I was dead! We didn't nap much which probably had something to do with it. I may use his after party ticket but we'll see!
We'll see how Jason does. He usually talks a good game, but the reality can be different. Of course we did go out for a night of bar hopping after the Key West Half, so ya never know.
I did the after party in 2015 back when it was a night race. I had a blast as it was so empty until the runners started coming in. Shaun lasted about an hour before he was ready for a shower after he finished the race. I did Soarin' with no wait. Obviously that is different now
Yeah, Jason definitely wishes they still did the race at night. He's excited for it, but since its the same course as Star Wars he was definitely looking to do something different.
Borrow my boys for a couple days, and I guarantee you'll vote "worst smell" to living with pre-teen and teen boys...............
Not sure I ever want to experience that.
This makes me so, so excited to go to Tiffins in a couple weeks!! And try drinks,
I will 
As always I loved your report, especially because I was in it
Can't wait to read your new one!
And I loved my report even more because you were in it
Hopefully our disney stars align another time because we have much more drinking to do
Yum! That's all I've got when reading you reports! I guess overall no stroller worked out ok for everyone?
I have a love hate relationship with strollers in general but especially at Disney!
Glad you enjoyed. Yep, no stroller worked out well. I missed having somewhere to stash our gear and of course had to listen to her complain on more than one occasion, but on the whole it was a good unconscious uncoupling for all
Wow how did I get so behind! Another great fun filled, foodie and boozie report. Three of my favorite things! Can't wait it here about the last trip and food and wine.
Hey, what do ya know fun, food, and booze are my favorite things too. Maybe that should be the name of my trip report
That's awesome
I LOVE mushrooms! DH thinks they're gross
Why!?!?!? Why did the whole restaurant smell so bad?
I've been away for a while but I'm back and trying to catch up on TRs.
