Ok you guys...its on, the LIVE Nicki and Todd..Summer edition!

Good morning, friend. Hope you guys had a restful night. I say you should do Tutto because I know it is a fav of yours and you know you like the food.

I really think the resorts need to start doing different colored key cards for resorts and then making you show them NO MATTER WHAT RESORT you are staying at for pool privileges. It is unbelievable what people will do. My oldest DS and his girlfriend are going next month and they are staying at the CBR (not happy with this...but they really didn't have a choice) and she asked if pool hopping was allowed. I told her no. She said she didn't think so but wanted to ask before she tried to go elsewhere (I guess the pirate theme just isn't doing it for a 21-year old :rotfl:).

Anxious for the next set of reviews. And still waiting for that cell number to put in my phone for the next time you scare the crap out of us.
 
I am now starving for Tonga Toast! Somehow I have to have that AND try those pancakes on our trip. Thanks for all the menu pics, too; it's great to see a current menu so you know what you're looking at is actually correct (at least for a little while!)

I was cracking up at you bringing Tupperware! Such a good idea!
 
PSA Be very careful getting on the boats in bad weather - the boats cannot be out in lightning - they are monitored, and are radioed to get out of the open waters... we waited 30 minutes under a bridge - no a/c - until the all clear was given.

I figure you ought to know, you must've paid your dues when you were 'sick' - glad that weather didnt affect your boat trip, nor your DHS day!!

Once again, I'm most appreciative of the pics of the drink menus :lmao:

Hope you have fun on your solo day!

popcorn:: Is that bucket just for the caramel corn or have they changed the buckets for all the popcorn?? That bucket is adorable. I love it! I want it. But I do not like Caramel Corn :sad2:
 
I'm about to start reading to catch up :thumbsup2 How much drinking am I going to be doing? :rotfl2:
 
Happy Monday!

My goodness, I sure missed a lot over the weekend! Thank goodness you are feeling better and hope today is a good one.

Loved the photos of 50's PT - haven't eaten there since Feb 2006 when we had terrible service and that delicious Fried Chicken was awful too - was soooo disappointed as it had been a fave. Excited to know it's great again!

I used to get Carmel Corn in the MK at the Candy Shoppe and that little walk up cookie place in Liberty Sq - of course, I cannot think of the name right now, but it's near the bridge & across from the Christmas Shoppe. Only got it there once b/c they keep it in the fridge! Yuck.

Hope y'all are enjoying the day! :goodvibes Swan view is fabulous!!

p.s. What a darling couple!!!! For those who asked, there's a photo in the first post in the link with the nieces. :) Now I'm reading that review! :)
 
Just got caught up. I'm glad you guys are feeling better. Nine Dragons was one of those places I wanted to try. Not anymore!

We love the Swalophin but haven't stayed there since 2006. I noticed they still use the same bath products.

I'm glad you liked ESPN. Have talked DH into staying at the Boardwalk for our 20th anniversary in 2011 and that restaurant was one of the selling points.

Can't wait to hear about Bluezoo. I hope Todd doesn't change his mind about this one.
 
Finally had a chance to get caught up..So glad the Pixie Dust worked! Everything looked really good yesterday. We've done Kona for dinner, but I really want to go for breakfast and for REAL coffee! Hope today is another good one for you!:goodvibes
 
That picture from the California Grill looks familiar. That's what I saw looking out the window from the Tambu Lounge that same night!

Great reviews! I'm so glad we didn't go to Raglan Road. We were going to go there last Monday, but went to Restaurant Marrakesh instead.
 
Great reviews. I have always thought about Nine Dragons but with all the bad reviews I think I'll skip it. I don't think I've ever heard good reviews. Can't wait to do Cali Grill in Oct. nothing but great reviews there. Thanks for all the reviews.
 
We have never done 50's Prime Time. The food looks good and the drinks even better. Guess I better add it to my list for 2010 also. At this rate I am going to need to book during free dining. :laughing:
 
Wow, I had a lot of catching up to do, and I've only been gone for a day! Nicki, you are a DIS board rock star!:worship:

I love breakfast at Kona.....and I agree with you, it can be too sweet. But I still have to get it everytime!:rotfl2:

Looks like I may be adding a stop at Tune In Lounge for that picnic punch on our October trip....thank goodness said trip just got extended by another day since DH has just been blessed with 5 bonus vacation days....or else I don't think my liver would be able to keep up with the list of drinks I've compiled!:woohoo:
 
I had to resist the urge to get more bread and sop up all the wonderful sauce...hey I am Italian, we eat with a fork in one hand and a loaf of bread in the other!

For all of you that told me Cali Grill was awesome, a huge THANK YOU! You were all so right!

[/SIZE]

Honey, I knew I liked you for a reason! From one Italian girl to another, I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did!
 
What is wrong with them!? Who doesn't like pirates!? Crazy people, that's who! Pirates are awesome! pirate:
;)

When you are 23 and 21 and in love, pirate beds just aren't cutting it. While they may be cute and loved by kids, they don't appeal to DH and I either (at 50+).
 
Really enjoying your dining report!

While on the boat from BWI to HS we stopped at YC/BC. A family of 3 kids and 2 adults got on, they were soaked from the pool, had on bathing suits, and beach towels...they were telling someone on the boat that they pool hop all the time...they drive to a theme park, if they feel like swimming they go to the nearest resort and use the pool...they were telling these people "We can use the resort without paying the high room prices" I was in shock, DH says "Can you believe that people do that?" Uh yeah I can, happens all the time.
I thought they checked resort ID's at YC/BC pool.

popcorn:: Is that bucket just for the caramel corn or have they changed the buckets for all the popcorn?? That bucket is adorable. I love it! I want it. But I do not like Caramel Corn :sad2:
Just caramel corn. They sell it at Fantasmic! in those buckets too.

DH and I are 35 & 36 and I think we are as excited about the pirate beds as our DS who is 10. Shhhh-dont tell on us though. :rotfl:
 
Late to the party as usual, but I found you!!! Just caught up on your report :goodvibes

I'm sorry to hear that you had a few bad meals. That food at RR looked horrendous!!! :scared:

I'm loving the storm photos!!! :love:

Reading your Kona review made me realize that I hadn't planned a meal there for our trip in October, so I fixed that real quick ;) Thanks :goodvibes

Enjoy the rest of your trip Nicki!! :thumbsup2
