I'm sad the report is over
, but am grateful that you shared your family's trip with all of us. It was fun to read and often a great way to start my day. When you started, our trip seemed so far away and here we are about a week away.
Awesome! Have a great time (like I have to tell you that)!
I'm coming out of lurkdom! I must admit I loved your TR!
I love your writing style and humor! Your family so reminds me of ours when our kids were younger! Thanks for sharing your amazing adventures. Can't wait to read the next TR! Are you doing a PTR??
I don't really do PTRs because I don't have enough material for them. If I can justify one, I'll do it. Thanks for reading!
Have fun booking those ADR's in a few months! I'm sure you'll make some great decisions!
More on that at the bottom of this post.
Great TR! I was one of the lurkers! But, I'm showing myself now. I look forward to next years report!
I love pulling lurkers out of hiding!
I am being completely honest with you when I say that in ALL of the trip reports that I have read, yours is the most entertaining one I have ever read. Although I love many of them, your just captures me each and eery time.
Wow, that means a lot. Thank you so much! Especially since you turned us on to CSR in the first place! I can't thank you enough for that
Have you thought of Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom for breakfast? You could get that really early ADR for 8:05 a.m. and have Main Street almost to yourself. We also really enjoy Yak & Yeti at the Animal Kingdom, and the Plaza at the Magic Kingdom.
We don't do breakfasts (muffins and cereal bars for this family, but we're definitely open to Crystal Palace for dinner. We discussed this again over Pumpkin Ales and Apricot Coriander beers at the Bethlehem Brew Works
I would love to see you and Kristin get a couple's dinner one of these days. I think there are many signatures that you would love.
We think if the time comes when we do that, it'll be Victoria and Albert's. Why settle?
Oh - I agree with Kathy - CP is such a wonderful meal and experience. and I love the plaza which makes a great OOP meal. I also love LTT for lunch!
We're pretty forumlaic - breakfast in the room, quick service for lunch, full service for dinner.
OK I was waiting to comment till the end but......... my DS LOVES circus peanuts he is 6 going on 85. We make fun of him for being so 'old' all the time. He takes it well, but I hear most old people tend to be pretty chilled and laid back anyway by that age
But along w/ our stash of circus peanuts we snatched from an old folks home (kidding, just kidding) I buy Tab all the time when I can get ahold of it. It is my name after all (although I was a decade or two after it and technically named after a woman in the Bible).
People (ok the 30 and over set) get a big kick out of it when I walk in with a can of it to work.
I guess I can't talk, because I LOVE Goldenberg's peanut chews. And clove gum. And teaberry gum. I guess we all have our outdated guilty pleasures!
Enjoyed all the update and pictures, I think next week for my final week coutdown at work I'll tune in to the 2010 report.
Sounds like a great way to spend that last week
Here is a tip...Wolfgang Puck, the main restaurant, not, I repeat NOT>..express....is one of the best meals that you will ever have..During my 10 day trip last year (with my 16 y.o.daughter and 21 y.o. niece (her 1st ever visit) we took the plunge. We were there on an early Friday afternoon and sat in the bar at one of the bistro tables..the service was excellent, our meal was delivered by the chef, and drinks were even better...Give it a go, you will not be disappointed! If you are, send me the bill and I will reimburse you.....
Hmmmm...sounds interesting, and we could end up doing that at some point.
We LOVED the Cape May Clambake. What meal will you do at Akershus? I'll try it again--for breakfast. Dinner was just not that good IMO. I think 1900 is a fun character interaction at dinner, but the food is so-so.
We've done 1900, and I agree. Hard to put down a place that offers Suzy and Perla, though!
We're doing Akershus for dinner. I enjoyed it both times we ate there, which is saying something because the first time was the first meal I actually ate following the Great Stomach Virus of 2009. Dylan's excited too, because he wants to order the Kjottkake. Not to eat it, mind you, but to say it
Went back and looked at your pictures this am! Emily looks like she is going to be swallowed up by her backpack in the airport!!!!
Last day airport pics are so sad!
It's kind of like, "ok, let's get this over with". And yes, she IS hauling a lot!
I also recomend Via Napoli in Italy. We liked this palce a lot and it was another first try for us this year. I love any place that serves bread with dippng sauce though...
Sounds interesting. We'll keep it in mid.
Great TR, I will now go back and read last year's TR just to waste more time at work and to satisfy my sorrow that my trip is over and we won't be going back until 2015...
Ok, never say never - um, I mean, 2015! YOU NEVER KNOW.
I just finished reading your TR. It was great! We were also at WDW in May...(the 1st - 10th). It was so fun looking at your pictures. It reminded us of our trip. We already have a 2nd trip planned. This time we are staying two extra days. Can't wait!
Did you see yourself in any of the pics? I know I look for myself in other TRs, but so far, no luck
I'm with you on the LGMH idea. I'll PM you about that. TR was awesome!!! Very enjoyable and a fun way to pass sometimes boring times.
Thanks! The LGMHs are ready for a comeback. I can sense it.
Thanks for a great TR!!! Your humor as well as your objective (and admittedly subjective) views of the World were entertaining and helped settle my yearning to return!
Can't wait until next years report!!!
Thanks! I can't wait to write it. Especially since it means I will have gone back to the WDW.
You guys enjoy Biergarten so much I wonder if you'd want to try the "Irish version" in Raglan Road at Downtown Disney?
Italy... I
Via Napoli and think the pizza is delish. Also believe that Tutto is being refurbed for the first part of the year and reopening in April-ish so might be cool to be among the first to dine in whatever the redesigned space is.
Raglan Road DOES look fun, so we may end up there at some point. I think we may be skipping DTD next year, unless we finally see La Nouba.
Not up on my Fantasyland refurb news (bad DIS'er!) but when are the new MK restaurants opening? Would certainly be cool to try that!
We are friends with a Disney employee, and Kristin pressed him hard for the info. No luck - he wasn't giving up any info

I had to LOL at your "Watch the Tram Car please" Reference! I haven't been to Wildwood in years (went all the time as a kid) but that is one of the things I remember most.
It become burned into your memory!
As far as the restaurant rec's next trip (prob not till 2014 though
) we do plan to try ALL new ones. Some of the ones on my list are: either one in Mexico, Boma, Crystal Palace and/or 1900 Park Faire, O'Hana or Kona Cafe, Yak and Yeti and a few others I can't think of now.
Those all sound good! I liked Yak & Yeti; Kristin, not so much. I'd love to try all new ones, too, but don't know how I'd skip the old favorites.
