Oh my goodness I love that mug! In the UK that is the average size of house in London lol.

That ring is beautiful! Do you have a close up?

I do not. In fact just now I went to look for it, and I have no idea where she even has that ring. It's not with any of her others!

LOVE this drink! I'm pretty sure you were one of the influencers to get us to Trader Sams and for that I thank you!

You're welcome! I'm looking forward to having another one in less than two weeks!

That is one heck of a 'mug'.

So back to Day 2 of our trip to WDW

Day 2 Plans

I suspect that by the time we get to the Magic Kingdom bus stop it will be well after noon. We will head directly to the Resort Monorail so that we can travel over to the Grand Floridian on the off chance that our room will be ready. Its highly doubtful, but stranger things have happened. Whether the room is ready or not, Im sure our luggage will not have made the trek over from Coronado Springs and Im not sure for what time I will be scheduling my grocery delivery, so regardless, we will probably head over to the MK.

We will definitely be hungry so some lunch will be in order, most likely from a QS. We like Columbia Harbor House and have heard that they have added a lobster roll since the last time we ate there. Regardless of where we pick up a bite to eat, we will probably want to ride the Seven Dwarves Mine Train. I hope that it is available through FP+ because I will definitely make one of those for this ride. It will be so nice to see these walls come down.





We may also do FP+ for the Mickey meet and greet as well as the Haunted Mansion.

I would also like to play the Sorcerers of the MK game while we are there. I hope that this isnt too many things to cram into one afternoon! Im sure by this point we will have received the text that the room is ready and we will be more than ready to go back and take a rest. Our dinner that night is at 7PM at 1900 Park Fare. When I found out that they serve the strawberry soup at dinner, I couldnt resist dining there, especially since its at our resort!





I also hear that Cinderellas Step Sisters are a real hoot, plus Cinderella and Prince Charming should be fun too!









After dinner, Im sure well be ready for bed, or at least a Jacuzzi tub! Besides we have a big day ahead of us!

Great MK plans. I had hoped to do the Sorcerer's game when we were there but it never happened.

Sounds like a great day with a few rides - especially if you get to enjoy the new 7 Dwarves ride - and dine with Strawberry Soup.

The lobster roll at the Harbour House is not great. Lots of mayo/sauce and bits of veggies and not big chucks of lobster. The one at F&W is much better and even that one is just okay. Just my unsolicited opinion.

 

[dolphingirl47]

I love your plans. I can't wait to read what you are making of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Magician Mickey is really magical so that would be a must do for me and I love The Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. Strawberry soup for dinner will be a very fitting end to the day.

Well what I can see it is lovely...

Hope you find it, I hate when I can't find things.

Wow, that is not saying much for Harbour House, b/c the one at F&W sucked... Nothing like a New England Lobster Roll...

I will take your advice on that one... even though this is not my TR....

 

[dgbg100106]

Your plans for the day sound great, and can't wait to find out if you think the soup is the same as the ships...

It was like sloppy tuna salad but instead of tuna it was teeny shreds of lobster. Nothing like a New England roll. The best roll I've ever had was at Sayles Seafood in Nantucket.

Like OMG good. Ever so lightly freshly toasted roll with huge chickens of lobster.

It does look good.

 

[Paula Sedley-Burke]

Well if this was my groundhog day I would be very happy! Columbia house great! Excited to hear they added a lobster roll. Seven dwarfs mine train. Great. Hope so re FP+. Mickey meet. Greet. Score a nice photo or two. Jazuzzi and rest. Great. 1900 Park Fare and Strawberry soup. My word are you kidding me that sounds amazing.

Oh yes def a groundhog day keeper! Roll on May!

Great MK plans. I had hoped to do the Sorcerer's game when we were there but it never happened.

Sounds like a great day with a few rides - especially if you get to enjoy the new 7 Dwarves ride - and dine with Strawberry Soup.

Seeing that we are staying at a MK resort, I really hope that we do get to play that game. This will be my mission for this trip!

The lobster roll at the Harbour House is not great. Lots of mayo/sauce and bits of veggies and not big chucks of lobster. The one at F&W is much better and even that one is just okay. Just my unsolicited opinion.

Hmmmmm, however, Fran likes mayo! We'll have to see.

I love your plans. I can't wait to read what you are making of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Magician Mickey is really magical so that would be a must do for me and I love The Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. Strawberry soup for dinner will be a very fitting end to the day.

It sounds like an awesome ride, so I can't wait to try it and Strawberry Soup will be an awesome end to the day.

Well I thought that the one at F&W didn't have enough mayo!

Your plans for the day sound great, and can't wait to find out if you think the soup is the same as the ships...

The soup on the ships is definitely different. They have more herbs and stuff in the ships version, this one is more pure strawberry.

I take it this is not the one from CHH?

Chickens of Lobster!

Sound like autocorrect to me!

I just found out (to my horror) that on someone's TR I typed photopass pictures and my phone changed it to pitiless pictures.

Looking forward to it!

Your plans for Day 2 look fab! I didn't think the Mine Train would be up and running by then. Awesome!

From what I've read it says "Spring 2014" is the opening and I found this video on You Tube from Allears.net Looks like they are running unmanned testing next would be the CM tests and then AP previews!

The Lobster Roll at Columbia Harbour House; at least the one I was served when I was there in September.

Mayo, lettuce and you can see the lobster in it. It's not like New England lobster rolls, not like what Jenny posted, but I thought it was better than the one at F&W. If Fran likes mayo, she may well like the one at CHH.

If anything, the portion was on the small side (which is saying something given that I do think that US portion sizes are generally large).

I thought it was auto correct also, but I thought it was really cute... I am sure it was chunks but it just tickled me...

pitiless pictures,,, Oh my.....

CHUNKS damn autocorrect.




Correct Allison, that was from Nantucket not CHH.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

We're definitely going to need in-depth reporting on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. I've been looking forward to that more than any of the other New Fantasyland additions. Can't wait to see the results!

My kids really loved Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom. I was happy to watch it once.

 

[eandesmom]

The stepsisters are an absolute riot, you will love it and the buffet isn't bad either. I'm not generally big on buffets but it does have a few nice and different options which helps a ton! But really the characters at that one, make the experience, one of our favorites ever.
