Zen And The Art Of PTR Maintenance. Sept 2016 PTR. 16/4 Trip Report Anyone??

[DonnaBeeGood]

.

 

[alrushton]

FOOD I LOVE IT!!!! I spend way to much time thinking about what I am going to eat in JUNE!
I am also going to the Sci Fi and 50's Primetime Café and BOG lunch so I fully support those decisions.

 

[TheLittleKatie]

To us English folks a yard is a small paved area or somewhere builders store stuff! This got me thinking about something I saw the other day about the differences between British sweets and American candy, I was so confused that you guys call Mars bars Milky Ways!

And what is up with your Smarties?!?

What are those? You guys need really Smarties! You get it, right @TheLittleKatie??

I had some American Milky Ways from the Halloween party and I was SO CONFUSED when I bit into it. I was like, "did they package this wrong?!"

And what the heck are those Smarties?!?! Are they like those swizzles/parma violet type sweets?! I never knew this! I would be IMMENSELY disappointed if I bought American smarties although to be fair to them, some of the American candy I got from MNSSHP was to diiiee for (S.O.S. send Peanut Chews and Baby Ruths)

(This is a woman you can trust. She is waving a green Croc therefore she is the Queen.)

I've never trusted anyone more in my life.

Urg! Tell me about it! Plus you think you have a good idea of what you want and then BAM they change something! Next thing you know you are lying on the bathroom floor sobbing incoherently about BOG and the wrong place for EMH...

Or....is that just me?

Not just you, this is completely accurate.

What? Who? Me? Make changes? Alot?

THIS WAS 10 DAYS AGO.

I haven't changed our dates (I have been tempted on more than one occasion )

Noooooooooo!!!

the only thing I might change is the room category if I go crazy again, which could happen.

Embrace the crazy!

I like to be prepared okay? I was a Brownie! (For like a week but it counts right?)

Omg me too!!! I lasted about 2 weeks

• 50's Prime Time Cafe

Another love of mine and firm family favourite. This is always an easy choice (I always have the same thing!) Aunt Liz's Golden Fried Chicken - served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, chicken gravy and seasonal vegetables and Dad's Brownie Sundae - chocolate brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream, Hot Fudge, Caramel sauce, whipped cream and toppings.
You know the more I get into this the hungrier I'm getting...

When I went to 50s I had the spag&meatballs, but I'm starting to think I need to go again because that fried chicken looks SO GOOOOOOOD.

This one is happening. It has pizza and Italian men. That is the only maths I like.

They are a great..asset..to World Showcase

• Crystal Palace

Usually we are not character meal types, mostly because I don't like buffets and other people!

​

But this is an exception as it has my favourite thing ever: Eeyore!!

​

I love him so much! So really this is a must do! For breakfast. I can cope with that!

Yay! I love Eeyore! Are you thinking breakfast/lunch/dinner? We always do breakfast at Crystal Palace but we might mix it up a bit and do dinner next time!

• Beaches and Cream

There are two passions I have ice cream and hot dogs. This place has both, therefore this place is the best. It's a fact As you might have guessed I would have a Beaches Hot Dog but we all know why we are really here ICE CREAM!!

Aaaaaaaand now I want to go back to Beaches and Cream.

I am a big fan of you, Chris.

Italian Surfer - Disaronno Original, Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, and Pineapple and Cranberry Juice

Omg I can't believe this exists?! Is Disaronno and Cranberry an actual accepted combination? My friend and I used to have it as a staff drink when we worked in a bar, and everyone thought we were crazy! I need me one of these! Is it from Via Napoli?

So....remember when I said I wasn't going to change anything? And if I did I went crazy again?

​

I just changed our booking at the Poly from a lagoon view to a Theme Park View.

Really this is all @TheLittleKatie's fault!

​

Yay!! I'm so proud to influence this decision.

OKW- Old Turtle Pond Road, High Floor (also the woman on the phone had no idea what I was talking about when I asked for Old Turtle Pond Road! )

(I have no idea what Old Turtle Pong Road means either.)

THIS is the most perfect end to an update I have ever seen. LOL.

 

[pkondz]

Clearly as this is the best PTR ever I would only attract the best follow-along-ers!

She speaks the truth.

Oh, no problem whatsoever!

It depends.
What will you do to me when I'm laying unconscious on the floor?

Exactly.

Inappropriate? In my PTR? Is that even a thing?

Well, no.
But as a Canadian, I am legally obligated (by Federal Statute) to apologize.

I've only ever eaten at the Rainforest Cafe at AK which was terrible!

I was never so glad when the DDs were old enough and we could stop going there.
Overly expensive poor food.

Okay. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't like PB&J of any variety

That's okay. It's probably too sweet for you and you're sweet enough already.


OMG. That line had enough saccharine in it to put a diabetic into a coma.

Poor Lou.

You see you are missing one the main part of the Via Napoli: Italian Men!

I am not happy that no one asked my permission to use my image!
I thought this was illegal!!!


(I'm the dude in the background walking with his DD.)

That is what DM wants to get....I don't really like Peanut Butter

Too bad.
But the nice thing is that there are soooo many other choices.

That one is from Sci-Fi

That one is Via Napoli

Might have to revisit these places.


Might.

I love a flexible girl.

 

[ursalita]

LOVE your ADR choices. Yak & Yeti and SciFi are on my must lists for August. We did Mama Melrose last April and it was surprisingly good.

But this looks disgusting. Is that spaghetti and meatballs on a chocolate cupcake?

• Via Napoli

This one is happening. It has pizza and Italian men. That is the only maths I like.

​

Right there with you on this one.

I thought it would be fun to look at the awesome sounding cocktails that I would would very much like to partake of at WDW at the end of each ADR wishlist section. Here are the ones from the restaurants above.

I clearly need to put some research into cocktails. The only one I'm sure I want to try try is this thing at the Poly:

I just changed our booking at the Poly from a lagoon view to a Theme Park View.

Really this is all @TheLittleKatie's fault!

Congrats on the view change. Those pics in her TR were amazing! So yeah, totally her fault.

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

But of course! After all, isn't it Disney that claims to do the "Princess" thing? Gotta walk the talk for your Princesses!

Exactly! I just want what I want and I should get it!

Really this is on you Disney.

FOOD I LOVE IT!!!! I spend way to much time thinking about what I am going to eat in JUNE!
I am also going to the Sci Fi and 50's Primetime Café and BOG lunch so I fully support those decisions.

Ahh!! I know what you mean! I LOVE FOOD!!!

Oh My Gosh! Your trip is coming up so fast!! How exciting!! I bet you can't wait to see Brookelynn's face when she gets there!

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

I had some American Milky Ways from the Halloween party and I was SO CONFUSED when I bit into it. I was like, "did they package this wrong?!"

And what the heck are those Smarties?!?! Are they like those swizzles/parma violet type sweets?! I never knew this! I would be IMMENSELY disappointed if I bought American smarties although to be fair to them, some of the American candy I got from MNSSHP was to diiiee for (S.O.S. send Peanut Chews and Baby Ruths)

I don't get it AT ALL! It's not like it's different! Why can't a Mars bar be a Mars bar?!

I think their Smarties are like Love Heart type things Not what Smarties should be at all!

But yes they do have some redeeming candy so I guess we have to let it slide!

I've never trusted anyone more in my life.

I love her!

THIS WAS 10 DAYS AGO.

Noooooooooo!!!

Don't worry, if I was going to change the dates, which I won't , it would be to add more days to what we already had! You know, as we don't have BW or WL booked

Embrace the crazy!

Hi Tate!

Omg me too!!! I lasted about 2 weeks

I think I learnt the oath, did it, then was like screw this!

When I went to 50s I had the spag&meatballs, but I'm starting to think I need to go again because that fried chicken looks SO GOOOOOOOD.

You have to get the chicken it is really really good!

They are a great..asset..to World Showcase

Yay! I love Eeyore! Are you thinking breakfast/lunch/dinner? We always do breakfast at Crystal Palace but we might mix it up a bit and do dinner next time!

I'm thinking we would do breakfast then we are already in the park! But I haven't looked at the lunch/dinner menu yet so I'm not sure!

Aaaaaaaand now I want to go back to Beaches and Cream.

It's nearly February!!

I am a big fan of you, Chris.

Omg I can't believe this exists?! Is Disaronno and Cranberry an actual accepted combination? My friend and I used to have it as a staff drink when we worked in a bar, and everyone thought we were crazy! I need me one of these! Is it from Via Napoli?

I think this one is Mama Melrose! Seriously how drunk are we going to be?!

Yay!! I'm so proud to influence this decision.

Entirely your fault!

(I have no idea what Old Turtle Pong Road means either.)

I don't know what Old Turtle Pong Road is either!

THIS is the most perfect end to an update I have ever seen. LOL.

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

She speaks the truth.

Always. Apart from when I lie.

It depends.
What will you do to me when I'm laying unconscious on the floor?

Hmmmmm.....

Well, no.
But as a Canadian, I am legally obligated (by Federal Statute) to apologize.

I was never so glad when the DDs were old enough and we could stop going there.
Overly expensive poor food.

That's okay. It's probably too sweet for you and you're sweet enough already.


OMG. That line had enough saccharine in it to put a diabetic into a coma.

I am not happy that no one asked my permission to use my image!
I thought this was illegal!!!


(I'm the dude in the background walking with his DD.)

Oh I didn't even see you there! No idea why!

Too bad.
But the nice thing is that there are soooo many other choices.

I really wish I liked peanut butter I feels like it's something I should like

Might have to revisit these places.


Might.

I love a flexible girl.

Well you are in luck I do Yoga!

(This is more accurate )

LOVE your ADR choices. Yak & Yeti and SciFi are on my must lists for August. We did Mama Melrose last April and it was surprisingly good.

But this looks disgusting. Is that spaghetti and meatballs on a chocolate cupcake?

It's a chocolate cupcake with "spaghetti" frosting and a chocolate "meatball" with a strawberry "marinara sauce" and white chocolate "cheese"

Right there with you on this one.

I clearly need to put some research into cocktails. The only one I'm sure I want to try try is this thing at the Poly:

Oh yes that is totally on my list too!

Congrats on the view change. Those pics in her TR were amazing! So yeah, totally her fault.

 

[pkondz]

Always. Apart from when I lie.

So... only when your mouth is open?

This is true. We are. But we apologize for it.

Oh I didn't even see you there! No idea why!

Curious.

I really wish I liked peanut butter I feels like it's something I should like

Yes. Yes it does.

Well you are in luck I do Yoga!

(This is more accurate )

Oh...

Well, still

 

[TheLittleKatie]

HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING AHS: HOTEL???? You guys....this season might possibly be my FAVORITE season since the first one!! It's amazing!!! Dandy is PERFECT in it (well his name isn't Dandy but you know what I mean) and Lady Gaga...omg. I've never been a big Gaga fan but she has officially converted me!! I'll be her little monster any day!!

I don't know if I ever saw this message?! But YES I've watched it! And I've never been a Lady Gaga super fan (I never disliked her either) but she is an absolute diva in this and I loooove her!!

Although I can't kid anyone that I still watch it for the storyline...

LOL but seriously. As if Matt Bomer exists in real life.

He makes me want to physically vomit. In a good way.

(I feel like it's been a while since half-naked men were plastered all over this PTR... But please don't ban me Disboards )

And YES girl! Dandy was probably my favourite character out of all 5 seasons of AHS, but I was so weirded out when he came back for Hotel and he was like, a sexy character..

Like he was a total odd-bod.

And then.......Wait WHAT?

HOLY COW.

Also, Evan Peters in Hotel might just be the weirdest crush I've ever had in my life. But whatever, I'm inexplicably into it. I'd google him.

UGH what did this season do to me. Brb, going to watch it all again.

Don't worry, if I was going to change the dates, which I won't , it would be to add more days to what we already had! You know, as we don't have BW or WL booked

Of course!!! So, do you fly in on the 5th? I got a bit lost because I think you changed your plans before, and I'm not sure what the updated dates are?!

Hi Tate!

"HIIIIII"

I'm thinking we would do breakfast then we are already in the park! But I haven't looked at the lunch/dinner menu yet so I'm not sure!

Yesssss good plan, you can get some nice empty Main Street pictures

Even like this

I think this one is Mama Melrose! Seriously how drunk are we going to be?!

UGH yes I need one. Maybe that'll liven up Hollywood Studios.......

THIS. IS. AMAZING.

I don't know what Old Turtle Pong Road is either!

Bahahaha oops. Old Turtle Pong sounds like the name of the Pirates of the Caribbean smell

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

So... only when your mouth is open?

Hey! That is so untrue!

I also lie when my mouth is closed. I'm very talented.

I don't know if I ever saw this message?! But YES I've watched it! And I've never been a Lady Gaga super fan (I never disliked her either) but she is an absolute diva in this and I loooove her!!

I haven't seen it

Although I can't kid anyone that I still watch it for the storyline...

LOL but seriously. As if Matt Bomer exists in real life.

He makes me want to physically vomit. In a good way.

(I feel like it's been a while since half-naked men were plastered all over this PTR... But please don't ban me Disboards )

Urg!! Matt Bomer. Seriously dude

He is just too much. Can you say drool??

*swoon*

(see I'm helping! If you get kicked off the DIS clearly I will too )

Also, Evan Peters in Hotel might just be the weirdest crush I've ever had in my life. But whatever, I'm inexplicably into it. I'd google him.

AHS does weird things to you

Of course!!! So, do you fly in on the 5th? I got a bit lost because I think you changed your plans before, and I'm not sure what the updated dates are?!

We fly on the 5th, Virgin just emailed to say the flight has been brought forward so we get more Disney time No idea how you could get confused

Yesssss good plan, you can get some nice empty Main Street pictures

That is a good plan

Even like this

Errrr....OF COURSE! If that was vodka I would be down

UGH yes I need one. Maybe that'll liven up Hollywood Studios.......

I think it would! Since basically everything is going to be shut! Time to make your own fun!

Bahahaha oops. Old Turtle Pong sounds like the name of the Pirates of the Caribbean smell

Yes it does! From now on though I am calling it Old Turtle Pong Road!

 

[pkondz]

I also lie when my mouth is closed. I'm very talented.

To paraphrase...
That's what he said!

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

Hi friends! ​

I bet you think I have my ADR list all mapped out right?

​

Well I don't!

I have been trying to narrow down my ADR list (as there is over 40 on it )

As we have the DDP at AKL, CR and OKW that gives us 19 TS credits, but then we don't have it at BC, GF or the Poly so those meals will be OOP. This is where I'm struggling to decide on, do I save the 2 TS credit meals for when we have the DDP or not?
At the moment I have 7 2TS restaurants on my list which would take 14 of our TS credits!

So I thought you guys could help me narrow down my 2 TS credit choices, if you have any experience with any of them please let me know so I can maybe cut my list down!!

• Yachtsman Steakhouse

This is one that I think will be a none negotiable. I love steak.

​

I would have the 10-oz Black Angus Filet Mignon - mashed potatoes and Cabernet wine sauce followed by Chocolate-Peanut Cake - Pretzels, Salted Caramel Gelato, and Liquid Ganache. Originally I was planning on doing this one OOP while we were staying at BC (I think things to be efficient) but now I'm thinking maybe we will do in on DDP while we are at AKL.

• Fulton's Crab House

Again this is one I really want to do. This was my favourite meal in 2012.I was thinking of doing this while we are staying at AKL but now I'm planning to do it when we are at OKW. I will be getting the Filet Mignon - 8 ounce filet of beef, wood grilled, mashed potatoes with Canadian Snow Crab

I don't know what the desserts are though!

• Narcoossee's

I was considering doing Narcoossee's OOP when we are at GF but now I'm thinking we might do in on the DDP when we are at CR instead. I really want to get the Black Angus New York Strip Steak with 7 oz Butter poached or Steamed Canadian Waters Lobster Tail- Boniato-Idaho potatoe mash, organic romano and yellow wax beans, with red wine-oxtail reduction followed by Narcoossee's Candy Bar - Dark chocolate-mocha bar with house-made guanaja chocolate gelato.

​

• California Grill

I was pretty sure that I wanted to do Cali Grill but now I'm a little undecided...If we did I would have the Seared Rare Ahi Tuna - lo mein noodles, baby shiitakes, crispy broccolini, cilantro-soy broth and the Breakfast for Dessert - freshly baked pecan-cinnamon roll with candied bacon, Kahlua-latte anglaise, and cream cheese ice cream.

• The Boathouse

This is one that I was thinking we would do OOP as I don't really like the sound of the desserts...well I do like the sound of Gibson's S'Mores Baked Alaska but it's for four people! So we would probably do the The BOATHOUSE Surf & Turf Table -28 oz. dry aged Tomahawk rib chop and 1 1/4 lb. whole Maine lobster, serves two.

• Artist Point

This wasn't even something I was considering until someone *cough* @TheLittleKatie *cough*
mentioned it and now it's on my list!

​

I really like the sound of the Seared Diver Scallops - creamy fregola pasta, tomatoes, delta asparagus, pancetta, garden herb followed by Warm House-made Donuts - Nutella ganache, marionberry jam
(those donuts sound AMAZING)

• Cinderella's Royal Table

This is more than likely one we won't go to. Really I just want to eat in the castle!

​

It's a three course meal so I would have Pork Belly Confit - served with raspberry Habanero sauce, blistered tomatoes, micro cilantro, and radishe then Steak and Shrimp - grilled beef tenderloin and roasted shrimp with Heirloom tomatoes, Gouda mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, and caramelized onions and then Our Signature Dessert - The Clock Strikes Twelve - white and dark chocolate in a tribute to the moment Cinderella lost her slipper.

So that's the 7 2 TS credits restaurants...it's only the 2 TS ones!!

​

Oh you might be wondering why I haven't mentioned Jiko, well as we are planning on doing the Wanyama Safari we will get to try Jiko.


So......

​

Booze Round!

[Leshaface]

Please, please, please forgive me my friend for being SO STUPIDLY behind! Besides my absence from the DIS, my computer is going slower nowadays and it goes even slower on your thread because of the GIF's blush:-so embarrassing!) and the internet always crashes! Within the next few months though, this will be remedied and i'll have a brand new Mac way before your trip!

OMGosh! Girl what a nightmare, i'm so sorry but glad everyone was okay!

I was standing to the right of where this picture is showing when it came down. Really freaking scary.

Uh, for reals?! I'm so glad you're okay, we could never replace the you for our Fuller House Club

the insurance company is being a total

It's like, "Hello, we've been paying for YEARS our payments on time, no accidents, an accident happens and you become a total A$$ about it?!" Hope it get's/got sorted out soon.

On the good news side my mum had her one year check up for her breast cancer, so far the doctors are happy that everything is clear but we are waiting on her latest x-rays to be sure. Fingers crossed she is doing really well and it isn’t back.

This is FABULOUS NEWS!

I don't know about you but I am one of those people who look at and obsess over Disney menus much more than is probably healthy...

• Yak and Yeti

I've ALWAYS wanted to come here to try the Wontons because that's all I hear about it. Do you not like wontons?

Sci Fi Dine In

So we totally lucked out this past trip and got a 4:35pm ressie about 2 weeks before our trip to replace ....

Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italianio

this one. I actually didn't mind trying to come here because of it being gone soon. But i'm excited for your review of it! Sci-Fi is just hard to say no to

Via Napoli

Pizza, beer/wine, gorg men?! The best combo ever! And yep, you bet your balls we went this past trip too!

Orbiting Oreos - Oreo shake mixed with Godiva chocolate liqueur - Served with a souvenir Glow Cube

Sicilian Sunset - vodka, orangecello, orange and pineapple juices over shaved ice

These sound AWESOME! I need to replicate these in a few short months

I just changed our booking at the Poly from a lagoon view to a Theme Park View.

SCORE!

AKL- No request, we are staying CL so we get a savannah view anyway so we will just go with the flow

BC-High Floor, Full Balcony

GF- High Floor

Poly- Tuvalu, Third Floor (the woman on the phone said that all none CL TPV rooms were in Tuvalu but I'm not sure that is completely true. At online check in I might put Tuvalu down again just to be sure!)

CR- High Floor (seeming a theme here? )

OKW- Old Turtle Pond Road, High Floor (also the woman on the phone had no idea what I was talking about when I asked for Old Turtle Pond Road! )

I can't remember, but have you stayed at OKW before? OMG! We only got to stay one night this past trip and it was beyond cool! The 1 Bedroom Villa was HUGE! And our location was under a 5 minute walk from the lobby and Olivia's (which BTW, was such an awesome restaurant...never would have considered this had we not stayed at OKW but i'd actually be interested in going back even if we didn't stay at OKW!)

I bet you think I have my ADR list all mapped out right?

​

• Yachtsman Steakhouse

This was another must this past trip. I haven't had steak since being pregnant, then I found out we were going to WDW and this was actually the first ADR I made. I needed a medium Rib eye stat and I got it Love this place!

• Artist Point

Are you a fan of soups or mushrooms at all? I'm sure it will be too hot for it when you go, but if you're extra hungry that night, go for the Portobello Mushroom Soup! It is ridiculous!

Cucumber Fizz- Chopin Vodka, Limoncello, and Cucumber Water with a splash of Sprite® (California Grill)

Yep, need to make this ASAP too!

 

[pkondz]

(see I'm helping! If you get kicked off the DIS clearly I will too )

Great. I lose two of my favourite girls in one fell swoop.

I bet you think I have my ADR list all mapped out right?

Yes! Of course!

Well I don't!

oh

I have been trying to narrow down my ADR list (as there is over 40 on it )

I don't see the problem.
Do all 40.


Solved.

What shall we talk about now?

Don't call me Shirley.

So I thought you guys could help me narrow down my 2 TS credit choices, if you have any experience with any of them please let me know so I can maybe cut my list down!!

Sorry. I'll be zero help here.
Haven't done one of them.

I do like the sound of Gibson's S'Mores Baked Alaska but it's for four people!

Simple. Reserve a table for four and change seats halfway through.

I'm really enjoying helping you problem solve.

Category Five-Florida hasn't seen the power of a Category 5 Hurricane since 1992. Today, you might find yourself lost in the strength of our Category Five - a blend of dark and light rums, tropical fruit purées and fruit juices (Fulton's)

Nope. Not a rum fan.

Stone Cold Cosmopolitan -Premium Orange Vodka, Limoncello, fresh-squeezed lime juice and a dash of cranberry juice come together in this tasty twist on a New York legend (Fulton's)


Yep. Sounds good.

Raspberry Rapids- Frozen Coconut Cream and Pineapple Juice with Myers's Platinum Rum and Chambord (Artist Point)


Nope. Coconuts is designed by evil monkeys.

Lodge Fizz- Grey Goose Vodka, Triple Sec, Cranberry Juice, and Sprite® (Artist Point)


Yep. I'll drink to that.

Passion Fruit Margarita- Patrón Silver Tequila and Cointreau Noir with Passion Fruit Purée (California Grill)


Holy crap! Sounds rich... and delish.

Cucumber Fizz- Chopin Vodka, Limoncello, and Cucumber Water with a splash of Sprite® (California Grill)


Yup. Still drink...ing.

Twisted Mai Tai- Mount Gay Rum, Crème de Noyaux, Orange Juice, and Pineapple Juice with a splash of Lime (California Grill)

Rum. So no.

Orange Breeze - Grey Goose L'Orange, Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice, Pineapple, Grapefruit and Cranberry Juice (The BOATHOUSE)


Must have thish... this.

Raspberry- Raspberry Stoli. Chambord, Cranberry, Sour Mix, Sugar Rimmed Glass (The BOATHOUSE)

(Hic!) Here'sh. to you Lu ol' buddy ol' pal.... <thud - head hits table)>

 

[KathyM2]

I wish I could come share that baked Alaska with you!!!

 

[pkondz]

I wish I could come share that baked Alaska with you!!!

Get in line, Kathy!

 

[ursalita]

Hey. Lu!!

Only 40 ADR choices? That's not that many.

I wish I could help you with your 2TS dilemma. The only one I've tried is Artist Point. We really enjoyed it. It doesn't seem to get a lot of love and maybe there are good reasons for that. I think it's worth a try. It's also pretty quiet if that matters to you.

Fulton and Boathouse aren't on my radar but Narcoossee's and Cali Grill are the two signatures on my list for August. I wish I ate steak or the Yachtsman would be at the top of my list. I've heard so many wonderful things about that place.

Sorry I can't help more.

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

Please, please, please forgive me my friend for being SO STUPIDLY behind! Besides my absence from the DIS, my computer is going slower nowadays and it goes even slower on your thread because of the GIF's blush:-so embarrassing!) and the internet always crashes! Within the next few months though, this will be remedied and i'll have a brand new Mac way before your trip!

ALICIA!!

You do have a very good excuse for being busy! I'm sorry my PTR is making your compture crash!

OMGosh! Girl what a nightmare, i'm so sorry but glad everyone was okay!

It has really been super frustrating and it's still not sorted

Uh, for reals?! I'm so glad you're okay, we could never replace the you for our Fuller House Club

Speaking of the Fuller House Club, it's nearly February!!

It's like, "Hello, we've been paying for YEARS our payments on time, no accidents, an accident happens and you become a total A$$ about it?!" Hope it get's/got sorted out soon.

This happened in November and they STILL haven't been out

This is FABULOUS NEWS!

Everything came back clear

I've ALWAYS wanted to come here to try the Wontons because that's all I hear about it. Do you not like wontons?

Eveyone raves about the wontons but I really hate cream cheese so I don't think they are really my bag! But DM really wants to try them so maybe I will be brave and try them. Maybe...

So we totally lucked out this past trip and got a 4:35pm ressie about 2 weeks before our trip to replace ....

Isn't it great just getting ressie's without booking 180 days in advance?!

this one. I actually didn't mind trying to come here because of it being gone soon. But i'm excited for your review of it! Sci-Fi is just hard to say no to

I would pick Sci-Fi over MM too! But the steak with the mac and cheese here was amazing! I'm hoping it's still standing when we go! They are taking Pizza Planet out so who knows

Pizza, beer/wine, gorg men?! The best combo ever! And yep, you bet your balls we went this past trip too!

I would be very worried if you hadn't! Who can say no to booze, hot men and pizza?!

These sound AWESOME! I need to replicate these in a few short months

Don't worry I will have a few for you! The thing I do for you

SCORE!

I am far too excited about this!

I can't remember, but have you stayed at OKW before? OMG! We only got to stay one night this past trip and it was beyond cool! The 1 Bedroom Villa was HUGE! And our location was under a 5 minute walk from the lobby and Olivia's (which BTW, was such an awesome restaurant...never would have considered this had we not stayed at OKW but i'd actually be interested in going back even if we didn't stay at OKW!)

OKW was our home resort when we had DVC (I think it was like the only option actually! ) so this is like home for me
The rooms are so BIG aren't they?! It is one of my favourite resorts. I love Olivia's! Did you see the photos out the entrance? They used to have them all over the walls in the restaurant and you could give them your family photo and they would put it up, it was always really fun trying to find our photo!

This was another must this past trip. I haven't had steak since being pregnant, then I found out we were going to WDW and this was actually the first ADR I made. I needed a medium Rib eye stat and I got it Love this place!

I can see why you needed a steak!

Are you a fan of soups or mushrooms at all? I'm sure it will be too hot for it when you go, but if you're extra hungry that night, go for the Portobello Mushroom Soup! It is ridiculous!

I' not really a soup person but I do love mushrooms! I will have to give it a try! But only if I'm extra hungry...which I'm sure will never happen...

Yep, need to make this ASAP too!

Great. I lose two of my favourite girls in one fell swoop.

I'm pretty sure I would go first then Katie if that helps!

I don't see the problem.
Do all 40.


Solved.

What shall we talk about now?

It could happen! Also it's 46 now... 48 if you count the off site ones...

Simple. Reserve a table for four and change seats halfway through.

I'm really enjoying helping you problem solve.

Hey I just realised where I know you from! You are that little devil on my shoulder telling me to do all the naughty things I shouldn't do!

(Hic!) Here'sh. to you Lu ol' buddy ol' pal.... <thud - head hits table)>
