What Time is the 4 o'clock Rain? -- Updates 11/2-4 -- Tim's surprise and Marco&Recap

Somehow, I missed the post about Mark's job. While I know that you said the pay isn't even close to what his commission would be, at least he is getting paid. In this day and time, jobs are very hard to come by and I'd hate to know that he'd have to look for something else down the line.

I don't blame you for waiting on another table. Had we been seated by the rude, kid climbing family we encountered while waiting for Ohana, I'd have asked to wait too. You know that you would have been miserable sitting by them all evening.

You've had a lot of Dis Meets this trip. Love me some Dis Meets!

Kathy, I do NOT blame you for not wanting to sit next to those other guests. Well done waiting for another table.

Dinner looked yummy. I love the onion rolls too! They are to die for aren't they. And I had to because, not only did I have the same entree Mark had, but I posted a photo of Jeff in exactly the same hat that you posted of Mark. Small world.

Love your stroll around the Boardwalk. We do the same thing - such a nice place to be at.

Let's get back to some good and happy times, shall we?

Absolutely!

We arrived early and were able to get a cushion seat by the rotunda to wait for the performers to come out.

Voices of Liberty: Good

Voices of Liberty while sitting comfortably and enjoying the A/C: Great

And, as we all know, if there isn't a picture, it didn't happen

Will there be some kind of a tally at the end of this thing to add up all the Dismeets you had on this trip? I've already lost count!

While Marilyn and I got these beauties

I'm not typically a frozen drink person but those things are just about as good as it gets. I could use one right about now.

Before Mark and I could leave, I decided I was hungry (this became a habit on this trip...I ate so much), so I got my favorite

Ok, I'm sitting at work and this just gave me a random thought that I had to share with you. I realize that it isn't Disney World popcorn and the coffee isn't Starbucks, so this probably isn't as much of a taunt as I intended for it to be, but here's a table that we have in our office for customers and employees to enjoy for free...

I eat entirely too much popcorn.

Not my idea of a nice anniversary dinner. I asked if we could wait until something else opened up and they said we might have to wait a bit and I told them that was fine. We went back and sat down and waited.

I'm glad they were able to work with you and give you a different table.

Soon our waitress came over and brought us our very special "anniversary" menus. I thought this was very sweet of them.

Cool!

Let me just say that everything was absolutely perfect...cooked exactly the way we like it. We will definitely be back to Yachtsman. It blows LeCellier out of the water.

The food really does look fantastic. I'd like to check it out sometime, but I don't see us doing a place like this until the kids are older.

After we settled up our tab, we went over to our DIS friends table to be sure they were being well taken care of. And, of course, we had to have a picture

Ok, there have been so many meets with them this trip, that I have to ask... Who was stalking whom?

Mark could smell the smells coming out of the open door and decided he had to have a peek. Well a peek turned into a purchase and we found a bench outside while he ate his treat

You can't resist the smell of a bakery!

Unless of course it's the one that Starbucks ruined with that stupid coffee smell.

 

[mommy2mrb]

wow, some people have no consideration for others...I'm all for having fun as a family, but when you are in a nice restaurant, people really should make sure their kids are quiet and behaved!

dinner looks so yummy, really need to put that on our list for the next trip! I'm a big bread lover too! sweet you got a special menu and desserts to celebrate! a beautiful walk after dinner with your special guy

 

[cmaee]

Your anniversary dinner looked wonderful.

I don't blame you for requesting another dining location. I would have asked too and it would have been just me and my kids for a nice dinner, not special like an adults only anniversary one. It would annoy me to say the least to be beside an unruly table, but then the rest of the meal I would be getting a play by play from my youngest on what was happening at the other table; followed by her wanting to know why the kids were acting like that and/or why weren't their parents telling them to stop.

 

[Queenofallthings]

I am so happy that you thought to ask for another table! We had the same experience at Via Napoli one trip and I didn't ask for another table and it ruined our dinner. You know the type...the grandfather and son who think everyone in the restaurant want to hear their opinion on everything Oh well, I'll know better next time!

Boy you and those two lovely ladies just keep running into each other....great planning or purely coinsidence?

I am so happy you had such a lovely anniversary dinner

 

[Pluto0809]

Yachtman's looks yummy! I actually think I would be ok eating there. Most signatures are way too fancy for my picky taste.

I need to remember to check out the Boardwalk Bakery when I go next week. We are thinking about having lunch there in February before my Cousin's wedding. We are thinking that might be a better choice than All Star Sports Food Court. Mom wants me to check out the seating situation as it might be chilly in February and we will want to eat inside. Mom and I were in there last November but neither of us can remember if there were inside seats or not.

All caught up again yay!! Just got back from our week on Friday night so playing catch up.

First off:

I posted on FB but just wanted to mention here about how sorry I am for your sweet Cookie. My Willow girl is getting up there in age (16 yrs) and not sure how much longer she will be with us but I cannot imagine the day she is not. We all love our fur babies..

Yay another Dis meet in Epcot. (And with Brenda & Em) over & over....Ha ha. Wow you were both at Yachtsmen at the same time??? Jeff & I ate at LeCellier last week & I have to tell you we LOVE IT THERE!! Mushroom filet was melt in your mouth. Now you have me wanting to go to Yachtsmen badly!!! I cancelled for last week because we decided to do MNSSHP at the last minute. Maybe in May..

Good choice on the Grand Marnier. Had mine on my last night there. I think it was gone in like 5 minutes.

Aw Mark is a sweetie to go see the princesses with you. I wonder if my DH would do that? So I just asked him & he said sure why not (as long as the wait is not too long) ha ha. I LOVE that Rapunzel hammed it up with him. How great was that???

I just started my TR-it is in my siggie-They Almost Left Without Me. Please come on along for the ride...We had such a great trip!!

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Your entire meal at Yachtsman looks heavenly! I would need to try the lobster bisque soup! But the steak looks sooo good! The best I've ever had thus far has been at California Grille! MMmmmmmm.
Ok now I'm hungry and it's stronganoff for dinner here tonight.

The photo of you and Mark at your table was wonderful!! Good job Brenda!

Fun hat photos as always!!

Boooo to those parents not maintaining some sort of control over kids in a nice restaurant. Go counter service if you can't keep them calm at a nice place.

 

[NiniMorris]

It is amazing how some parents go on vacation and leave their parenting skills at home...oh wait...those might be the same parents who have horrible parenting skills at home as well...

I always hear great things about Yachtsman. It sure looks good.

 

[wiigirl]

Cute pics!

 

[jedijill]

Yachtsman looked so good I cancelled Jiko for Friday night and booked YS! I don't blame you for asking for a different table either! At signature prices, you deserve a quiet meal.

Your anniversary dinner looks amazing! I love the decor!
I am really interested in that picture of the huge pieces of meat hanging- do they have a lot of things like that? Like do they carve all the meat where you can see? I love being able to see what they are doing in the kitchen!

It's so cute that they gave you special menus! You guys look great and I adore Mark's Mickey Hawaiian Shirt!

 

[englishrose47]

Kathy those steaks look yummy!! Good or you asking for another table !!

 

[Disney9.9.10]

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get over here, but I am terribly sorry about the loss of your sweet Cookie Pets are family and it is so hard to lose them, even if you know that they will be in a better place. I hope that you are doing as well as you can during this hard time.

As for your updates, great as always You managed to get quite a few dis meets in during this trip, which is always fun. I'm glad that you both had such an enjoyable anniversary dinner and you looked lovely in your dress!

They have a meat cutting and dry aging room you can see. The kitchen is also open too...I don't think they have counter seating but I can't remember.

That's awesome! Thanks for the info!

 

[GrammyJudy]

Yauctsmans looks great. It is on my to do list but not this year as we are paying oop and it is a little pricey with six of us.

We have never gone to Boardwalk either and it looks so pretty with the light. What a great idea to stroll over there after dinner.

 

[natebenma]

Kathy- I just read about Cookie. I am so sorry for the loss of your precious companion. Our furry friends are such an important part of our families!



It was nice reading about your visit with the kids, though. I am sure that was really special.

What a nice time in the World Showcase!

That beer hat! Does anyone really buy these?

Hope that you missed most of the (early) 4:00 rain during the Voices of Liberty show. Did you stay for the American Adventure?

for meeting up with Brenda and Emmy in Mexico, in France and again at the Yachtsman!

Your meals looked great! Happy Anniversary! Good for you for asking for a table location change. You did not need that aggravation during your special meal.
