I wish I had another trip planned but you never know when we are going!

That stinks! LOL I am normally a stalker of your reports and for the last couple of days, I have been looking for a new report. I knew it had been a couple of months since I read your last report and really thought there would be a new one. I finally found your November report again and read that you have nothing planned. I guess I'll just have to keep waiting and stalking. :laughing:

What a great post, I have stalkers :lmao:

Sadly I do not have any trips planned besides our annual pilgramage to the F&W in Oct.

Things are so crazy around here, my sister is expecting my newest niece and is to arrive in April and I have been working 6 days a week since Xmas....

I would love to get away in May for Todd's birthday but I dont know if that is going to be a sure thing or not...

Going to WDW 6 times in 2009 raised the bar for us and I dont think we will have another year like it :rotfl: But I can hope right?
 
All Mark and I can say is YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! Thank you.

We had a bit of a late take off last night and arrived at the Pop around 8 or so. The parking lots were completely empty so that was a good sign, no Xmas decorations at all but the gift shop had lots of Xmassy stuff to buy.

We checked in smoothly and asked for a room that was ground floor and close to the parking lot so we could check out super early this morning, I was dying to get to the Poly!

I was really tired, had a headache coming on from skipping breakfast and lunch that day and all I wanted to do was sleep so not DTD for us that night. Plus DH was on call after call so I just gave up on our first night.

DH was hungry, me not so much so we went to the food court....the only line was for the pasta station. They had an Asian station, burger/hot dog station, sandwich station and pasta/pizza station. The Moms Dinner was a turkey dinner for Tue and Wed night.

DH opted for the cheesesteak wrap...it was gross. The meat was gummy and the wrap was stale and they put 3 slices of american cheese on it, not melted at all. He took one bite and pitched it.

There was nothing on the menu that "did it for me" so I ordered the Big Bowl Chicken Noodle...I thought this would be regular soup but it was an Asian soup and I hated it...too much lemongrass and way too much salt...it was like salt in a bowl! DH didnt like it either so that went the way of the garbage can too.

We both had bottled water..sorry, just a bad bad meal to report here.

I will say the CS at the Pop was packed with people.....but the only line was for the pasta and they did shut down one drink station at 8pm so the line for the only open one was crazy.

Our room was very clean but we have not stayed in a value for almost 6 years and I could not get over how dull the room was, super small, old looking and not much decor at all. Turbo flush toilets kept me up all night long, kids screaming and crying, doors slamming, I heard it all. THe beds were terrible, they creaked and groaned and were so small! I dont think we will stay there again anytime soon.

There was a bounceback in the room for 20% off values, 35% off mods and 45% off the Cabins...dates are 1/3 to 1/14, 1/18 to 2/11, 2/15 to 3/27, 4/11 to 7/1, 7/5 to 11/23 and 11/28 to 12/24

I didnt book anything then but I am glad I waited because in the Poly room today they had the same dates but 45% off for Villas and 40% off for deluxe rooms...I hope to book a spring and fall trip before we leave.

Coming up...breakfast and the Poly check in!



We ordered that same soup in October. I agree with you 100% it was nasty!
 


I just found this most recent dining review from your November 2009 trip. I just read your review of your Kona lunch. We just ate there last wednesday and my daughter had the same chicken dish as your husband and she loved it. She had me take a bite and it was good. I had the steak with the grilled pineapple salsa and it was good also. I also have to agree with you on the macaroni salad. I love that stuff and I looked for the recipe on line, but they don't have it. I love that it was a little spicy. Kona Cafe is one of our must do restaurants and it never disappoints. I want to try one of those pina coladas the next time!
 


Thank you! Look for our latest edition...starts Nov 12-21!

Here are my 2 cents ;) You cannot go wrong with CM for breakfast, we loved it! Sci Fi and Le Cellier are fantastic too. I liked Ohana but DH was not a fan. Teppan Edo, well DH could eat hibachi every night of the week if I let him LOL. 1900 PF was horrible, the food for breakfast and dinner was just inedible.

So glad to see this! Always look forward to your dining reviews! Can't wait to read!

can't wait

Thanks guys! By the time we go back to WDW it will have been a year since our last trip....time has flown by though so it hasnt been too bad :laughing:
 
we're there nov 10-16 on the dxddp!! so exciting!! did you make ADRs yet?

Cool! We may bump into each other!

I made all my dining ressies for Oct 22-31 way back when my 180 days opened up but we had to move our trip back and can you believe every single ressies, place and time, stayed exactly the same and I just did this 2 weeks ago??? I was shocked to say the least.

One thing did change though, we were able to add in Cali Grill so again, I was shocked!
 
OK I know this review was a year ago but I just read it and I am literally DROOLING!!!

We are going in October, and I am going to try to find that holiday sandwich, wow that is like perfection on a bun for me! :)
 
I been waiting with baited breath for a new food porn session. I see that you have gotten a CaliGrill reservation. Is this the trip I can shame you into trying their sushi. Your an adult now, even my 15 year old non adventurous nephew liked it. Try the malibu roll, I know you will love it.

A year old but it seems like yesterday! I hope they have that holiday sandwich too, would love to try it

Oh my goodness thats right, I really should try it :laughing: What is in a malibu roll? I love cooked shrimp and crab but I am scared off the raw stuff :rotfl:
 
I can't wait for you next DR either!
Hopefully we will have delicious drinks and apps to review from The Ditch!

Oh come on, you gotta try the raw stuff! That's more like real sushi. I'm not a huge fan of sushi, but certain raw items I like...so you never know, you may find a new favorite food!
