DHS
TS: bad experiences at both Sci-Fi and 50's (the food at 50's was good, but don't get me or D~ started on the service that week in March ) <------ Yah - it's best not to get us started on that...

No Cheerleading?!?!?!

Tonga toast.... Need to make tonga toast...

Yah - I was the cheerleader in the family, the girls don't have much interest in it.


D~ <---- Oh cr@p... Did I just hijack your thread? That happens sometimes...

 

[Chicago Mo]

Did you laugh when you saw the title???

So here is the Plan SO FAR:

August 31st OR Sept 1 have the Amigos birthday party ask for Disney Gift cards!

Sept 7th Leave.. How? What time? stopping anywhere?

Sept 8th- Kiddos BIRTHDAY ARRIVE IN DISNEY!!!!

this is all i have... sad....

 

[oopsiDAISY]

How old are your kids??? Your right i wouldn't trade a second of it for anything!!! My life is very rewarding and very upbeat! Family is always first!

My kids are 13, 10 and 6...never a dull moment.


i can say i have never had any of the above.... "I PROMISE ON MY DIS HONOR I WILL TRY A DOLE WHIP THIS TIME!!!"
Crystal Palace may have to happen... Breakfast/lunch or Dinner?!?

We are not big breakfast people, so we had dinner at CP. It was so good! The character interaction was kind of rushed, but our kids aren't huge on characters anyhow. They just want more autographs in their books and we are not ones to stand in long lines for autographs.
Don't feel bad about the Dole Whip, this past trip was my first...will NOT be my last!

Tell me tell me tell me... (finally got to use this guy!)

Well, I had not told my kids about the "schtick" at 50's, I wanted to surprise them. When checking in, I asked the hostess for a "fun server"... and it was almost as if I got a very straightforward, non personable server just to spite me. D~ and her girls had the SAME experience that week at 50's.


Pizza planet is on the list!!! this will be a first too...

I am not a fan of pizza (please don't flame me oh Chicago deep dish Disfriend ) My family loves it though. DH promised me that we will eat at a different CS next year when we go to DHS. We shall see if the kids overrule the decision...

better then tusker house?? Unless they have the juice Tusker house has i am afraid Tom puts his foot down on this one...

I have actually never tried TH...again, we are not big breakfast folks and I have heard only mixed reviews about the TH lunch/dinner, so we have been a bit reticent to try it.

Le Chefs- same one with remy??? tell me more please?
would kids like it?

That's the one! We actually only got to see Remy through the window when we were waiting for our table...but the kids LOVED the food. This was our family favorite TS meal for our whole trip last March. We loved it so much we requested a particular recipe from the chef...and I made it for DH for Father's Day this year.

 

[solana131]

Tonga toast.... Need to make tonga toast...
stoopid food porn thread had HUGE pictures of it and i have been thinking of it NON stop!!!

Don't forget...you can get Tonga Toast at the Poly quick service Captain Cooks for half the price and no ADR. Same stuff, just doesn't come with the side of meat, but you can get that seperate. And no strawberry sauce down at Capt Cooks, but you can ask for a side of sliced strawberries like they serve with the waffles. The sausage at Capt Cooks is so yummy!

Solana- she is great!!!!

No she's not...she is a spiteful, photo stealing, stalker....just ask Josh at easywdw

Did you laugh when you saw the title???

Yep, sure did! Yeah, my plans are final too

 

[oopsiDAISY]

No she's not...she is a spiteful, photo stealing, stalker....just ask Josh at easywdw

Yep~ she's a threadjacker alright! Now where is Liddy with her potroast picture!?! I miss her on here...

ummmm...I believe that was me threadjacking.

 

[solana131]

Suzi~ you just provided me with my LOL moment of the day!

Glad to be of service my friend! (hmmm...they need a bowing smiley guy)

Oh and Mo, I second D's sweet cream pretzel recommendation....YUM! Best snack I tried this trip for sure.

 

[DMGeurts]

No she's not...she is a spiteful, photo stealing, stalker....just ask Josh at easywdw

OMG!!! ROFLMAO!!!!

Fwiw... I just renewed my subscripition at Touring Plans.

D~

 

[notfrostyjosh]

I wouldn't have said stalker.

 

[Chicago Mo]

I wouldn't have said stalker.

Hey now... That really isn't necessary on MY pre trip report. If you have insightful Information in helping me plan this train wreck of a report. Your more then welcome. If you are here to "stalk" someone then please keep on moving.

 

[Chicago Mo]

Yep~ she's a threadjacker alright! Now where is Liddy with her potroast picture!?! I miss her on here...

ummmm...I believe that was me threadjacking.

Please!!! Hack AWAY!!! This thread is supposed to be fun- LIGHTHEARTED and a good time... I have over 345 days until the trip so there more then enough time for fun and pictures etc!!!

[Chicago Mo]

My kids are 13, 10 and 6...never a dull moment.

That's no joke..

We are not big breakfast people, so we had dinner at CP. It was so good! The character interaction was kind of rushed, but our kids aren't huge on characters anyhow. They just want more autographs in their books and we are not ones to stand in long lines for autographs.
Don't feel bad about the Dole Whip, this past trip was my first...will NOT be my last!

I am not a breakfast person because i am allergic to eggs! I love them they don't like me...
I do like to get as many TS out of the way in the morning.. this way i am not running from the park to get to the ressie on time.

Well, I had not told my kids about the "schtick" at 50's, I wanted to surprise them. When checking in, I asked the hostess for a "fun server"... and it was almost as if I got a very straightforward, non personable server just to spite me. D~ and her girls had the SAME experience that week at 50's.

That's just sad. it's this the point of the whole experience?!?!

I am not a fan of pizza (please don't flame me oh Chicago deep dish Disfriend ) My family loves it though. DH promised me that we will eat at a different CS next year when we go to DHS. We shall see if the kids overrule the decision...

SERIOUSLY?!?!?! No PIZZA??? are you sick twisted and demented?!?! it's part of the 6 food groups! totally kidding. have you been to the windy city?! to try REAL pizza??? I have 7 days that not enough time to try all these places!!!

I have actually never tried TH...again, we are not big breakfast folks and I have heard only mixed reviews about the TH lunch/dinner, so we have been a bit reticent to try it.

The lunch menu scares the Bejesus out of me.

That's the one! We actually only got to see Remy through the window when we were waiting for our table...but the kids LOVED the food. This was our family favorite TS meal for our whole trip last March. We loved it so much we requested a particular recipe from the chef...and I made it for DH for Father's Day this year.

What the deal with Remy?!? i've seen pictures of him.. Does he talk?

 

[Chicago Mo]

Don't forget...you can get Tonga Toast at the Poly quick service Captain Cooks for half the price and no ADR. Same stuff, just doesn't come with the side of meat, but you can get that seperate. And no strawberry sauce down at Capt Cooks, but you can ask for a side of sliced strawberries like they serve with the waffles. The sausage at Capt Cooks is so yummy!

I agree this is MY #1 QS place. ever.

No she's not...she is a spiteful, photo stealing, stalker....just ask Josh at easywdw

Insert several Non Disney words here... I'm still confused in what happened...

Yep, sure did! Yeah, my plans are final too

[Chicago Mo]

Yep~ she's a threadjacker alright! Now where is Liddy with her potroast picture!?! I miss her on here...

ummmm...I believe that was me threadjacking.
