What Are You Celebrating?? Air Conditioning!! A July 2010 TR UPDATE 12/11 p24

Your appetizer looks really good. Is that polenta underneath the land portion of the appetizer?

I liked our meal at Coral Reef but like you said, I'm in no rush to get back there. Someday though.
 
Great updates! Are the girls more adventurous at home when they eat? I know some kids eat a wider variety when they know what something will taste like and are more hesitant when it is not made by Mom or Dad.

I think because I always am cooking new things and we hardly eat the same thing twice (I do not write down recipes for most entrees ya know :headache: ,) my kids try quite a bit since they are used to having no clue what something will taste like! :lmao: Poor suckers!

I have never been to Coral Reef either, Dan and I are not seafood fans at all but maybe we will have to give it a shot sometime!
 
The girls were fighting a bit in line - we had to separate them, which tells me that 30 minutes is too long for them to wait! HA! In the end, the wait was worth it - we got the FRONT ROW! It was so great - there's only about one point where I feel a little queasy/uneasy, and I just shut my eyes for a moment. I love the smells in this ride!!! The girls and I pretended to kick the people fishing in the river! Aren't we naughty?

We do that too!!!!! :lmao: On our past 2 trips, we rode Soarin' a grand total of 6 times and kicked those poor fisherman in the head EVERY time!!! :laughing: Did you notice the mickey head on the golf ball??? Or see the POTC ship (I THINK it was the Black Pearl?) in the harbour scene??? Soarin' is my ABSOLUTE fave EPCOT ride just because of all those little hidden treasures!!! :cool1:
 
What a wonderful morning at Epcot. :cloud9: I can't wait to use the secret back entrance. :yay: :rotfl:

We just love Soarin! :lovestruc I hope you got to ride Test Track!

Your pictures just reminded me of how cool it is in the Coral Reef! We haven't gone since May 2007. It is really nice in there. I remember liking the food, but not being blown away by it either.

Can't wait to hear about the rest of your day! :cool1:
 

Lunch looked good....nice atmosphere too :thumbsup2 There are just so many places in WS that I love to eat it is hard to fit all of them in!!

Hope you were able to ride TT and I can't wait to hear what this surprise finally was!!! :confused3

Tracy
 
I have never thought of kicking the people fishing. :lmao: Now, I am sure to remember that the next time I ride.

Lunch looks delicious -- I would have gladly eaten those crab cakes for you! Yum!

Can't wait to hear about your magical moment!
 
We have never been to Coral reef....I don't know if we would like it...we are not really super into seafood..not very adventurous I guess. There are a few that I would eat, but I doubt any of it would be on that menu!!! LOL
Ready for the next part!!!:yay:
Well, Dave did enjoy the steak, so there's something!
The next part might come tonight if I'm not too tired!!

Your appetizer looks really good. Is that polenta underneath the land portion of the appetizer?

I liked our meal at Coral Reef but like you said, I'm in no rush to get back there. Someday though.
Why yes, it is polenta!! It was quite tasty if I recall! I loved that meat!
I can put CR back on the bottom of the list for now and work back toward it after I've dined at all the other places I want!

Great updates! Are the girls more adventurous at home when they eat? I know some kids eat a wider variety when they know what something will taste like and are more hesitant when it is not made by Mom or Dad.
Well, Sarah won't try much of anything, anywhere! Paige is always willing to taste things. Plus we don't cook very adventurously at home. I'd like to try more things (I know I'd eat them), but I end up making two meals.
I think because I always am cooking new things and we hardly eat the same thing twice (I do not write down recipes for most entrees ya know :headache: ,) my kids try quite a bit since they are used to having no clue what something will taste like! :lmao: Poor suckers!
It must have worked with your kids - they seem to be able to handle anything that comes their way - food or otherwise! Maybe I'll keep trying!!
I have never been to Coral Reef either, Dan and I are not seafood fans at all but maybe we will have to give it a shot sometime!
Dave seems to think the steak was worth it, so at least there are some non-seafood options. There was a beef short ribs entree and a mushroom lasagna too. The atmosphere was kind of cool too.

We do that too!!!!! :lmao: On our past 2 trips, we rode Soarin' a grand total of 6 times and kicked those poor fisherman in the head EVERY time!!! :laughing: Did you notice the mickey head on the golf ball??? Or see the POTC ship (I THINK it was the Black Pearl?) in the harbour scene??? Soarin' is my ABSOLUTE fave EPCOT ride just because of all those little hidden treasures!!! :cool1:
:laughing: I do remember the Mickey head on the golf ball, but I have to think about the POTC ship. Guess I need to go again!

Oh, that back entrance is so awesome!! I'd love to stay there again and just do a few days at Epcot and eat somewhere in WS each day/night!! As if my kids would let me skip MK! I'll have to go without them!
Test Track? The rest of the day? Well, it was pretty dang good. I hope I can update again soon so you will know how it went!

Lunch looked good....nice atmosphere too :thumbsup2 There are just so many places in WS that I love to eat it is hard to fit all of them in!!

Hope you were able to ride TT and I can't wait to hear what this surprise finally was!!! :confused3

Tracy
Oh, yeah, you were on FB while I was there teasing you guys with my posts!
I feel the same way about Epcot/WS- I want to eat there every day!! Maybe someday I can say I've tried them all!

I have never thought of kicking the people fishing. :lmao: Now, I am sure to remember that the next time I ride.

Lunch looks delicious -- I would have gladly eaten those crab cakes for you! Yum!

Can't wait to hear about your magical moment!

Silly isn't it? We just giggled through the whole ride! Paige thought that was hysterical!
I really want to like crab cakes, I do, but it just wasn't happening. Funny, I like crab salad, crab legs...
I hope I'll get to updating again soon. Then you can hear about our big surprise!
Gee, I hope I'm not building it up too much! You'll all be like - oh, big deal!
 
I have to tell you that the food you had at Coral Reef looks fabulous. That appe - yum! I love mahi-mahi and that looked really good. I haven't been to Coral Reef in forever. Maybe I need to revisit.

Front row of soarin is the best!
 
Well we always pretend that our feet are clipping the waves, but we've never kicked anyone in the head before. :lmao: I'll remember to think more violently next time! :rotfl:

I have almost booked CR on the last two trips, but changed my mind on it. There are just so many other places that always talk me out of it. Maybe next time. It looked good though. I wish they still had crab legs. I'd book it for sure if they did! A friend of mine ate there 3 years ago when they still had them on the menu and she said it was the best meal she has had at WDW.
 
Just a quick post - I didn't end up with ANY time the last day and a half, so no update, sorry. However, I do have some big news!...


IT'S OFFICIAL!!!
WE ARE NOW DVC MEMBERS!
:yay::woohoo::cheer2::banana::cool1:

We got notice today that our closing has gone through! Now we have to start our point management! HA - we only bought 50, so it won't be too complicated! We do have to bank some fairly soon so we can use them next year - sometime!

I'll try to update more with Epcot tomorrow - we'll see how much down time I get at work. Tomorrow night we're going to the Twins game so it might night be until Saturday!
Have a great Friday everyone!
 
:goodvibesCONGRATS!!!:goodvibes:woohoo:

How awesome!!! I know you are super excited!!!

Congratulations, Sheree!!! That's awesome! Did you buy resale or direct from Disney?

Ooooh nice........ VERY nice! :cloud9: I see many more TRs in your future! :thumbsup2


Thanks! We are excited - i just don't know when to go or where to go for my first DVC trip! I have to do some research and budgeting (dang plane fare! plus my Europe trip!).
We did buy resale! DH didn't realize there was such a thing until recently. We had come close to buying from Disney once a few years ago, but it was just too expensive and I didn't want to go too far into debt for that. This was just a small contract to get started and with banking and borrowing, we can stay lots of places for almost a week!
 
I really am so excited for you! I think 50 points is a great place to start -- I wonder how long before you catch that add-on disease I have heard others talk about...;)
 
Congrats on your contract going through! :cool1::cool1::cool1: It's a great feeling. And, yes, it will be no time until you get addonitis. My add-on is on permanent hold until we get our kitchen remodeled. But this time next year all bets are off!
 
:banana::cool1: WOOT WOOT!! Congrats on becoming DVC owners!! That is fantastic!!!!! :banana::cool1:
 
Just for you Sheree! Had a little inspiration while I was digital scrapbooking...

Congratulations Sheree on becoming official!! :hug:

You bought BC right? I can't remember:confused3 You will :lovestruc being a member....knowing you will always have a trip in the future....like April 30-May 6th for instance :rotfl2: Just sayin.....If you need any expert advice in borrowing points just ask Mary Ellen or me :rotfl:
