We loved the breakfast there! Lots of options and the restaurant was virtually empty!
I wonder if parking for breakfast would be less difficult than before dinner time?

So you and Joe have seen Blue Man Group?? And liked it?
I agree with this. Gina, I took the kids to the show a few years ago. I remember it was very good. I do think there was a bit of a less good part somewhere in the middle when it dragged some, but overall still very good. It's definitely a great time at the end, like a rock concert! The music in the show is performed very well. You can hang around after the show and take pictures with the BMG guys and also meet and take pictures with the other musicians.Yes- we saw it locally when they were touring. We had front row-"splash zone" seats and received rain ponchos! We didn't get "splashed" thankfully!! It was a fun, unique show. It's not one I would repeat , but we all enjoyed it!
That i can’t help with, as we never drive lol but i don’t remember the main parking lot being particularly busy while we waited for the internal bus to take us to the back of the resort.I wonder if parking for breakfast would be less difficult than before dinner time?

I have to admit, I have not gotten a lot of glowing reviews about the Blue Man Group show from others on the disboards in the past day or two. Most people seem to like it okay but didn't love it. I have decided to keep my expectations low just in case. The fact that the tickets were so cheap helps me to do this! I think my kids will enjoy it a lot.

One caution: Don't be late!

But now I'm curious as to what happens to those who don't arrive on time!!!
I have been enjoying your entire trip report and really looking forward to every detail of your DC day.
It has been on my wish list for literally years and we will be making it happen this spring. Can’t wait to really plan!
I loved the breakfast food at DC
That breakfast food looks good at Discovery Cove! One day I'll make it there to check it out.
I know there was a late family at our show! Well, BMG "noticed" they were late!
Yay for Discovery Cove!! We so enjoyed our day there in October- thanks to that $99 deal you told us about! Thanks again!!!
now I'm almost hoping there's a straggler or two
The Almond Meringue Cookies came in various flavors and were nice and light.
I am so happy that you and a few other Disers had the chance to take advantage of the $99 October deal as well . Offers like those are too good not to share with others!
I actually wondered if they made sure that there was a latecomer!
Why wouldn't they just call it a macaron which is what it is? And if you have time get some here when you're in Toronto https://www.ladureecanada.ca/ They are the yummiest you'll ever have. If they didn't have one in Vancouver I'd want to fly back to Paris just to have another.
The $99 DC deal was fantastic! I hope there are more of those in 2019
Sounds like such a fun night and a great way to get a taste of Disney without actually having park tickets.
Since you've been to Discovery Cove so many times, have you noticed a lot of changes? I've only been once, back in 2016, and loved it but I've seen a lot of complaints on-line in more recent years (mostly relating to cutbacks on food quality/choices, removal of the free souvenir photo etc) Do you think the criticism is valid? I try to take everything I read on here with a grain of salt, as I've done things other people have complained about and loved them.
We really enjoyed the food on our last visit: we definitely don't find that the quality or selection has declined (in fact, in some ways, we've found it to get somewhat better). I am saddened by the discontinuance of the souvenir photo (it was a nice touch, especially when it was the one chance to grab a nice picture before you got sopping wet) and by the removal of photographers throughout the park (on our first visits starting back in 2012, you would find them in the aviary, the Wind Away River, and even in the Freshwater Oasis).....but that's really the only area that I can really say has suffered. The park is consistently immaculate, the staff are friendly and helpful, the food is good, and the overall experience is just as wonderful as ever.
