Not a lot of time to do a full update.
Just to say we had a FABULOUS time at the MNSSHP yesterday, we didn't leave the park until 12.50am when it was deserted on Main Street. Brilliant seeing it so empty with all the Halloween lights. Also, we collected more sweets than I could possibly eat in a year!

Had dinner at the Wave on Saturday, were really pleased our meal and the service. Today we had dinner at Le Cellier, probably the best fillet mignon I've ever had there, so again: very happy.

Only negative so far: at the MNSSHP I went dressed as a bloodsucking fiend, well, it seems to have attracted some other bloodsuckers and my legs are covered in about 20 BIG mosquito bites. Itching like mad!!!

I've added new photos to the album, including the Electrical parade and the MNSSHP

Apologies for the late update this time.
On Tuesday I was quite "out of it". The bites on my legs were really horrible and I was pretty much drugged out on antihistamines. We missed our reservation at Tutto Italia because I kept falling asleep and generally wasn't feeling too great.

Wednesday we had a blast at DS. Arrived early, rode TSM twice, which is still as brilliant as ever. Watched Wishes from the beach at the Poly, which is a great location IMHO. Has dinner at Ohana with friends, food was better than last time we were there. Last time, the meats were somewhat dry and overcooked, this time they were perfect and the banana bread pudding was delicious.

Yesterday we spent most of our time at Epcot. had loads of snacks at the Food and Wine Festival again, LOVING IT!!! Then late afternoon we did DiveQuest in the big tank, which was sooooo cool and amazing. Definitely worth it. Learned a few interesting things too. For example, the fee gets donated entirely to marine conservation projects all over the world, Disney even picks up the admin fee. And the small change that people throw in the fountains at Epcot goes to that too. Nice thought We had some friends taking photos of us in the tank, but haven't seen those yet.
Then in the evening we went for dinner at the Yachtman Steahouse at the Yacht Club. I decided to go all out and have the 24oz Porterhouse steak, wow, that was BIIIIIIGGGGG! But I did manage to finish it somehow. Had the banana napoleon for dessert, didn't quite manage to finish that.

Had a late morning today, for some reason I wasn't hungry for breakfast so skipped that and had lunch at Cosmic Rays at the MK. It was quite busy this afternoon at the MK, but we just went for the atmosphere, not for the rides, so we didn't care. Christmas decoration are up!
Tonight we're off to Tokyo Dining for dinner. We've done Teppan Edo twice before, so thought we'd give the other one a go.

Cancelled our reservation at Coral Reef for tomorrow, going to Sanaa again, hoping it will as good as last time.

Photos as ever, in the album

The Yachtsman Porterhouse is big and mine was delicious in August. Hope its as good next August when we visit. I oredered a starter(Lobter Bisque) which i should not have done but couldn't resist.

We enjoyed food at Ohana but not the service or where we were sat, last year far better so we are not going back again next year.

Hope you enjoy Tokyo dining

 

[Neoshoegal]

Tokyo Dining was great, we had the best table in the house, corner by the window which was the best view for Illuminations! And the food was delicious, had a a sashimi starter, MrNeo had a the bento box which was the best one he's had, I had the swordfish. Dessert options are a bit dissappointing: chocolate ginger cake, green tea pudding or soft serve ice cream.

 

[wayneg]

Exactly same desserts as Teppan Edo, probably worst choice of dessert we have had. Worst choice for CS was chip shop in UK, shortbread or nothing slowest queue for smallest menu

Fish & Chips - 2 strips of fish served with chips $7.99
Side of Chips $2.69

Shortbread $1.99

How long was you on the ship for from southampton to New York (sorry if you already mentioned it). sounds an amazing way to travel anyway.

I believe this was a 6 day crossing but they also do some 7 day crossings depending on what date you want.

Mmmm swordfish! I haven't had that for years! Did they prepare it to perfection for you? I don't mean to be funny, but I am sure those dessert options are the same choices you get at the Counter Service place (Yakitori) (??)

It was 6 nights indeed. On 5 of those those days you do get an extra hour, which was bliss!!!

Haven't managed to upload the photos of the past few days. But just to say we're still having loads of fun!!!

The weather seriously cooled down over the past few days. We went to the first MVMCP yesterday, it was all so beautiful! I just can't stop looking at the castle when it's covered in the lights. It was quite busy actually, except on the rides, no lines for any, weird. It was really cold though, I was freezing by the end of the of the night.


Tonight we're off to DS, going to look at the Osborne Christmas Lights and hopefully still go to Epcot afterwards for a last trip to the Food and Wine festival, still have a few snack credits left over.

Tomorrow is our last full day at Disney World. Still feel like I could do with another week here, I just can't get enough of this place! But on Thursday we're on the Disney Wonder!!!

I'll try to get some photos online in the next 24 hours.

Glad you are still having fun, no matter how long we stay we can always stay longer, even our 25 night trips in August are over in no time.
Have a great cruise.

Couldn't agree with you more. We started off going for 2 weeks and have gradually increased until this summer we were there for 5 weeks! Still wasn't long enough and surprise, surprise we weren't ready to come home

Did our first cruise this summer as well and had a ball! Hope you love it as much as we did.
