So when we last left our heroes, they were winging through the skies on Northwest Airlines from steamy July Florida back to not so steamy July Wisconsin. A delicious lunch at Wolfgang Puck Express had been their sendoff and the only remains of 10 days of Disney Dining was a few WPE chocolate chip cookies and a couple assorted items from Goofy's Candy Co.
Once these were gone, there was nothing more to do than start planning a trip and some ADR's for the next vacation: ten months in the future..
...and the future is TODAY!!!
I'm sitting here with my beloved cats (I will miss them...) surrounded by suitcases, waiting for 2:15 to come to go pick DS up from school. I've been pondering a live (ish) dining report for a while now and decided I had so much fun with the last one, why not? I also LOVE live dining reports and lurk shamelessly on any one I can find. So I'll do my best to do another one.
Shall we start with the "who are we"?
DS7 - our little WDW veteran. He loves his vacations and takes his planning veerrryy seriously. His can't miss of the trip is Le Cellier. He loves the pretzel bread and scarfs up most of it. He also love Mickey ice cream sandwiches, fresh fruit, macaroni and cheese and (gasp!!) has started trying new things. He is determined to try lots of new things on this trip and DH and I are hopeful......
DH - steak and potatoes. Caesar salad. Soda with sugar. More steak. Loves the Mickey bars and sandwiches and isn't really into anything that is, in my opinion, interesting. His can't miss is Yachtsman Steakhouse, although I'm working on that. We have a reservation at Shula's and if that works out I am convinced YSH is extraneous. He disagrees. Men.
Me - a picky eater, but I love interesting and ethnic foods. I love Boma and Jiko and I also love the mac and cheese and steak my boys enjoy. I am the only one of us who like coffee, but fortunately I am not addicted (since WDW is...uh...lacking there). Coke Zero is my addiction and I'll make due with diet coke. My can't miss is Spoodles. And...well...I don't want to talk about the fact that this next dinner will be my last here. I'm sure Koussina (sp?) will be excellent. Yeah.
So why is this only maybe live? Well, we'll be using our DVC points tonight (tonight!!!) but then tomorrow we head over to our RCI villa (GASP!) offsite. And I don't know if they have free internet access or how many nights we'll spring for it. Depends how much withdrawal we have from email and such. We'll be there for 4 nights and then we're checking out early to head over to Kidani Village for the remainder of our stay (free high speed internet!). DH and DS are very excited to be among the first guests there and I agree it looks beautiful. I am trying hard not to miss my Beach Club Villas. I know it won't matter once we're there - I'll love it just as much...!
So where are we eating?
In no particular order:
Boma - breakfast
Boma - dinner
Spoodles - breakfast
Spoodles - dinner
Shulas Steakhouse (new for us!)
Kona - lunch (new for us!)
Cape May Cafe - dinner
Teppan Edo (new for us!)
Le Cellier dinner
Chefs de France - lunch (new for us!)
Tutto Italia
YSH...?
Flame Tree BBQ
Earl of Sandwich
WPE
Kona - breakfast
Sanaa - dinner - definitely new for us!
and a few others along the way! We may be venturing offsite as well, so I can post those too for those who don't spend all their time on WDW property and are interested in the photos (incidentally, that is usually us...this is going to be a new adventure...which may include an afternoon at Gatorland....)
So after a late afternoon, evening, night and and into the wee hours of tomorrow traveling...on with the show!
