Your food at Raglan Road looks good, but too bad you didn't really enjoy it. I wonder if being inside with the dancers would make a difference?
10:30 for dinner? Yikes! If I don't eat dinner by 6:00, well, I'm not sure where I'm going with that one. Except to say I couldn't imagine eating dinner that late!But, since we decided against La Nouba tonight, we pushed this ADR back to 10:30 to allow for more shopping time!
I don't think I've ever had an Old Fashioned, but I've had friends get asked "are you from Wisconsin" when ordering a Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet in different states. The drink is that well know as a Wisconsin staple!We started out with our drinks! Mom ordered a Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet. For all of you non-Wisconsinites, the drink basically consists of Sprite, brandy, cherry juice, bitters, muddled orange, sugar, and a cherry to garnish. This drink is pretty exclusive to Wisconsin, and my mom has had terrible luck with ordering it in other states. When we were in Texas one time, Mom ordered one and literally got a glass full of brandy with bitters Luckily, Disney must study up on their cocktails, because they made a pretty good Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet!
Sorry to hear that Raglan Road was a one and done It always stinks when you look forward to trying a new restaurant at Disney and it doesn't live up to the hype!
The apple and cake pop look AMAZING.
So sad that this TR is coming to a close but SO SO SO excited for your future TRs!!!
What a bummer about the outside table, they should let people know before you make the decision that the dancing is only viewable inside, oh well. We had a late lunch here last October and really loved the food, no dancing for us either since it wasn't dinner time.
Goofy' candy shop is always a must for us, yummy!
I know how hard it is to leave the GF, such a great resort!
Looking forward to your last day adventures!
Yes! I'm so excited we're going to be there at the same time.
Yum!
truffle fries do remind me of @DexLabDeeDee! She loves them!
Aw that's sad to hear. I've been hesitant to try for awhile because the food doesn't appeal to me, but I have heard it has a good GF menu and people seem to like it there so I asked Josh if he wanted to try it but he didn't seem crazy about the food either. On the last trip when @DexLabDeeDee came out of the restaurant saying good things about the GF accommodations, then Josh decided he wanted to try so we may be booking it to see for ourselves this next trip!
Sounds like a great trip! Congrats on your new job and on booking your bounce back trip!
I'm sorry you didn't love your experience at Raglan Road! But treats afterwards are a nice consolation
I just binge-read your trip report from the beginning (I had started it awhile ago but sorta fell behind on all the TR's I was reading!) and I just absolutely LOVE it! Your writing style is so much fun! Your trip is lovely and since I'm going to Disney for the first time this September I really enjoyed hearing about the lack of lines after Labor day! Can't wait to hear about your last day and also for your mini-March trip! Hooray for Sept 2017 trips aswell

Sounds like a great start to your DC trip!!
Sounds like a great day with your dad!
I am a DC girl so I am loving these updates! The Gaylord is so amazing - I went to a conference there once and it is like its own little town.
I have loved reading along! My mom and I used to take mother daughter trips and those memories are so special to me.
Thank you!
So friends, I know that I have been quite MIA lately, but part of the blame is due to PhotoBucket. After scrolling through my TR a few days ago, I've been noticing that all of my pictures on this TR have an "error" screen instead of the actual picture. Lo and behold, PhotoBucket has changed their terms and conditions, and now wants me to pay $400 to restore my pictures and allow me to keep posting them on the DIS

I will try to keep things speedy, but it may take a bit to replace my pictures If you are at all tech-savvy, I am desperately looking for tips and tricks to make this all go as smoothly and efficiently as possible! So please, if you have any tech information, send it my way!
Funny, I guess I'm a geology nerd too since I have a degree in itMy dad is a huge geology nerd (before he was a nurse, he was a jeweler), so he loved seeing the Hope Diamond and all of the gems.
Same thing happened to me! Spent hours last weekend updating my photos to Flickr! Good luck getting it all sorted out again. What a pain, right?
Oh man, I am so sorry about the photos, I have seen other reports where the pictures are all gone as well boo!
I am not very tech savvy with pictures, I hope you get them back.
Happy July 4th
YES I'm so upset about this! It started happening to me a few weeks ago.
Sadly, there's no easy way to do it aside from replacing them all individually. I still haven't fixed all of mine. I'm using Imgur now if that helps.

My early career was spent looking at little pieces of rock under a microscope. I've moved on to management stuff now but I still enjoy rocks!
I feel bad for all of you having the problem with photobucket. You're not the only one. I hope you are able to sort through it and it's not too painful.
Ugh! So sorry to hear of your picture woes. I saw other people were having trouble as well. Have you tried just using the "Upload a File" button at the bottom of the screen? That's how I add all mine and it seems to work okay. The one catch is that you can only add 10 to each post, which is a pain in the neck sometimes.
Good luck!
I'm sorry you and many others are going through this with photobucket. What a lousy thing to do to people. Good luck getting it straightened out.
Ugh! I've been seeing those error messages from Photobucket all over the place! Something to do with using too much bandwidth.
I had a similar problem years ago with Webshots. It wasn't that they wanted to start charging me - I think I was paying $20/year for their service, but they changed their entire structure. They'd been using albums and you could organize how you wanted to and do direct links to photos. They changed it to be more like Instagram where it's all just a jumble of photos. I switched to SmugMug, which I still use. There's an annual fee, but I can still organize into albums. Hopefully they don't change things up, because it really was a pain to go through and fix my one trip report after Webshots ceased to exist in the form they had. They didn't just keep the existing links; they deleted everything. At least they gave ample warning so I could go in and retrieve things.
So sorry about the photobucket troubles, that really stinks!!
