I have never had a Bloody Mary but the one Tom got looked great! Your drink looked good as well!
That is awesome you get to stay at the Grand Floridian!!!!
Glad to hear you got your annual passes straightened out.
Wow, you already have your 2017 and 2018 vacations figured out. I love reading your trip reports so that assures me they'll me more.
They will start to release information between May and August, usually on the Disney food blog. At first it is just a few announcements about "what's new!" or "what's returning!". I'd have to go back and look at my TR to see when I posted about finding them out. Generally by 1st of August they're released and then about a week or so later they have a call in to sign up. It's crazy. Events sell out in 20 minutes. Think first day of DCL booking crazy!
As far as others, I have done the tequila pairing, (although I would only recommend that if you like to sip tequila), we did a Mediterranean lunch this trip, and I've also done the sake pairing in Japan. Italy has beer and wine lunches, but I've never done those. Trader Sams had an event, but it was not while we were there. There are also events like Party for the Senses, dessert parties, burger bashes and all kinds of stuff including American Celebrity chefs. I'll try and post a link to last year's listing so you get an idea. Every year is similar with only a fee tweaks and changes.
Both your drinks looked good and it sounds like you got just the right amount of food.
Sounds like a nice leisurely afternoon with a few rides, sorry you baked in the sun, but it sounds like you got back to the room just in time!
Late to the party, but I'm really enjoying your trip report! So far it looks like you did really well with avoiding the rain showers! Having so many disney days sure makes it nice for taking a relaxing approach to your vacation. I always wish we had more time so we could slow down and enjoy everything more!
FOLLOWING!!! So happy to read another trip report from you and Tom
Love the Wave, so many good choices there you really can't go wrong!
We love the train too, always our first MK ride!!
Sure hope we get to see you during our Summer vacation in 2017. You get back from your cruise on the first and we leave on ours on the 2nd and return on the 9th.
Are you leaving on the 9th?
Karin I am so happy you have been busy because I have too and I only had 2 pages to catch up on. hahaha.
Your trip just looks amazing.
How exciting about staying at the Grand at the beginning of the trip
How odd the CM was having a hard time understanding you don't want to waste months of not using an AP... if you're not going to be there there's no point in renewing a pass. Excellent it will cover both 2017 and 2018.
Can you remind me of your summer vacation dates, I don't want to miss you guys. Hopefully I can fly mom down also and then we can start our vacation after that.
Your lunch at the Brown Derby looks mighty tasty. I've wanted to go there for a while now.
Nothing better than taking in the rides and just enjoying the day at a nice and leisurely pace.
Please tell Thomas the calendars are fabulous! So many hats I've never seen. And all the yummy food, I am so hungry and several more hours of work to go.
