The options at Nomand really look good. We have never tried it with all the other choices in AK.
I agree there are some great choices in AK. It's hard for me to forego Tiffins now and I also love Harambe Market. That's why I made it a point to do Nomad this time and promised myself we 'd stick to it
Here's the problem, there are so many old favorite places to eat, that I usually only book 1 or 2 new places each trip because I just LOVE all the old favs. Does that make sense? Am I rambling????
Nope, I feel the same! Like I said above we enjoy a number of places in AK-I didn't mentioned Yak and Yet above but we like that, too! Plus going over to AKL when at AK......so it's hard to narrow down where you want to eat. But when I leave a few trips and say, "man, I forget to eat .......again!", I have to make a point to go to that specific place the next time!
So, I went on 3x right after they started giving these out. I think the CMs were told just to give them out, so I don't know if they have a different area to give to the standby people (it'd take way too many if they gave them at the start of the line). Trip 1 - they gave them to me (I was the only one entering FP line) and I took automatically. Trip 2 - they weren't handing them out, but I got confused and thought I needed it, so I stopped to get one and they gave it to me. Trip 3 - didn't get one. It was very weird.
That is totally weird, we were just handed the card each time we went through. Wonder if they're still doing it? It sort of makes sense that they'd give them to those with FP's, so if someone without jumped the line they'd know, but why ask us how many in our party? It doesn't have a number on our pass. Whatever, goes with the normal #disneyinconsistency lol
mmm, I have that on my snack list (assuming it'll still be there when I visit).
I hope they still have it when the boys are back with us in Nov. since Ricky liked it so much!
I'm sorry that we will miss you. Are you staying at the WL or is this the BWI trip? You did have a BWI trip planned, didn't you?
I'm sorry, too! This is our BWI trip and we're both looking forward to being back at an Epcot resort
We did have the option of Copper Creek and it was hard not to choose it, but it's been awhile since we were on the Boardwalk and since it's during F&W, that's the way we went.
Yummm Nomad Lounge!! You guys really made quite a dent there with all your food and drink offerings!
We did, we were hungry!
All caught up again.
NL is my favorite place anywhere on property right now. It's relaxing and a GREAT place to have some chill, quiet conversation.
I agree, it's extremely relaxing especially when you sit outside. A great place when you want to talk, wonderful if you're with friends and want to just hang and take a break from the normally hectic park routine.
I also sort of feel like ice cream improves anything so maybe this new version is superior anyway!
Um, truer words have neer been said
I know I'm on the wrong thread posting about this but I also finally caught up on your TR and am so sorry to hear about Ricky's ACL and upcoming surgery. I hope you all are enjoying summer as best you can before the healing and recovery start again.
Thank you
It was a big, huge blow when he re-tore it and it took a big toll on him, and me. He had come so far and if he hadn't injured himself again he'd be playing in the Varsity summer league for school now
He's still working at the summer camp the high school runs for younger kids at the coach's request and I'm sure the coach will put him on the team again even though he can't play, but.......yeah. Very very hard to deal with.
He feels fine and is having a great summer, doing driver's ed, hiking, still playing some ball, riding his bike for miles on our Rail Trail (Hudson Valley Rail Trail-google it
) and just hanging with his friends, because in another two weeks he won't be very mobile so I'm glad he's making the best of it now
Nomad Lounge is amazing - I can't remember whether I've tried for a table since Pandora's been open, but I'm kinda glad to hear that it's busy as I really didn't want Disney to change it. I love those ribs!!!
I'm glad it's busy too! The first time we went to Tiffin's not long after it opened, both the restaurant and lounge were empty. My thought was that, if it didn't pick up it wouldn't last, and besides thinking the lounge was so cool we absolutely loved Tiffins and I was afraid they wouldn't last. But given how packed the lounge normally is I don't think it's going anywhere!
You are evil, pure evil!!!!
But the evil comes from pure love
Yum! These look so good. I think we are going to do "dinner" at Nomads on our first day there in August and will most definitely have to try these bad boys.
Gotta do it. Those chips were awesome.
