The $6,688.00 Disney World Trip - It's a wrap 6/30, Has it really been a year? 3/2 Link to new TR 4/18

Your brunch looked amazing!

Sorry the dinner ended up so disappointing!
 
They stopped him at the top of the ramp, and luckily they let Fran and I go before him. But I noticed him trying to turn around. He didn't have any clue how to turn his scooter down to a lower setting and he was zipping around bumping into the railings and everything else. Definitely someone you need to avoid in the parks. I was glad to board my Skyliner car and get away from him.

:sad2: There are so many accidents with these things. I think a lot of folks that don't normally use them suddenly do because of the huge amounts of walking needed. But that is going to set the scene for loads of unsafe stuff to happen. Unfortunately it gives a bad rap to everyone using one.

but we did not have the lovely dinner experience that we had the last time we were here.

Oh no!! But the brunch sure looked amazing! The food looked really good, especially the eggs. I LOVE deviled eggs AND Eggs Benedict. Mmm!!!

This server poured the tonic over the whole thing as if it were some giant storm thus destroying the cute structure and flooding out all the cute ingredients.

Well, that's just dumb. Bummer the presentation was lost. :(
 
Maybe because it was a Saturday night and busy they couldn't grill/toast the bread like before. And while the shrimp were indeed tasty, so far everything was not living up to what we remembered.
The whole meal sounds like a disappointment. I suppose that if you hadn't had your previous meal, you wouldn't have known the difference and maybe it would have been a better experience, but I feel let down just from looking at the pictures of this time and last time.

That breakfast looked awesome, though! I feel like that's the kind of meal I'd have in a Palo brunch and then I'd be full through dinner and get hungry and some random time much later.

I'm glad to hear that you've still been busy with life. I know it's probably more work than what you want right now, but it's probably helping keep your mind off of all of this shelter in place.
 
They're not everywhere. But... I can think of 4 around town just off the top of my head.

Wow! I just checked and you have less than a million people in the Peg, yet you have four butcher shops. I googled butcher shops near me, and some of them that came up were just Carnecerias and at #8 Stater Bros, my market came up. I think your people are much more discerning.

That's good! Hopefully it'll stay that way.

I hope so! I just need Apartment 2 to rent, and stay rented. Did I tell this group that our doctor did an exorcism on the building? Got rid of all kinds of bad ju ju.

Yeah, I can see that would keep you busy! Explains the absence!

I'm trying to keep up, but Fran isn't allowing me a lot of computer screen time.

Do you call her "Jeeves" from the back seat?

None of our cars have back seats! They're all flattened down so we can fit maximum crap in the back.

Hey! That's great! I was really wondering about it in this economy. Did you rent it to the family you mentioned?

I had mentioned several different people who were interested. This was a family who relocated from up north.

What! Thief!!!

Wait... No one cares.

Exactly. She could have gone downstairs to our QS restaurant and stole them as well.

I've been watching some older ones from a few years back. Still really good though. Doubt you would've heard of it, though.

Are these Canadian home improvement shows? Fran has watched quite a few of them over the years. She fancies herself someone that can do these things.....read: she tells me how to do it... :sad2:

:laughing:
First TR I've seen where I've read that!

It's a lot of work! And so much stress and adrenaline. And remember we aren't rope drop kinda folks. We're stay in bed watching TV, play on our phones type of people. :laughing:

Yum!
I would like to do that some day.

Evidently its only offered during the Festival of Arts.

Huh. I didn't know there were regions. Just thought it was one big dining room.

I wonder if this is new and they are trying to educate people about the different provinces.

Okay... without looking at what followed, this was my order:
Very difficult choice between the mimosa and the Caesar. Like both.
It would depend on the time, and how I felt, I think. Early enough and I want OJ, so the mimosa would've won.
Bit later and the Caesar wins.
Deviled eggs. Love those.
Eggs Benedict. Can't not order those.
Crème Brulee.

Looks like you and Fran are in sync.

:thumbsup2
Glad you liked it enough to order it. :)

I'm a fan of Bloody Marys so it follows suit. Had you not made one for me, I may have mustered up the courage to try it on this occasion.

Fran is smart.

I've generally said that...

I just can't do it. I know it's not just regular ground beef, but... I find the smell off-putting.

Huh. I never noticed a smell. For a long time was afraid to try it, but then a certain restaurant offered it as one of the courses on the menu, so I gave it a try. Ever since then, I've been hooked. I think that was around 2015.

Whoa! I stopped reading when I saw Bennies, but... I think I'll order that instead!

I was debating about what to order, I was actually torn between the Corned Beef Hash and this one. However since I started with beef, I gave myself a pass on protein and went with the sweeter choice. It was really good!

Fran is smart.

::yes::

Fran is...

I think you get the picture.

:laughing:

I can see how that would appeal to you. :)

She saw it the other day at Epcot, but I told her to think about it before buying.

Oy. I can feel my shins getting destroyed from over here.

The rest of his party was giving him a wide latitude.

You didn't say where you were (or at least I didn't see it), but figured it out as Jaleo, yes?

Yes, it was. I guess I didn't say that. Perhaps I should edit the post.

:(
Then why go to the trouble of making a nice presentation in the first place?

Careless. Or not well trained.

I'm going with careless.

I knew that was going to happen.

Had he not jumped the gun, I might have ordered two orders, one regular and one special.

That's... abysmal presentation. I mean... awful.

I don't know if they were just that busy or our server was a putz.

You're batting 1,000 here... :sad2:

:sad2:

Okay... Those look pretty neat. :)

She really liked them.

You know... While I rarely wait for busses... I'm okay with 20 minutes. That's what they advertise, so if that's what I get... that's what they promised.

The only times we have long waits are when there are people in scooters ahead of us in line.

Holy cow! What a feast!

I love steakhouse leftovers!
 


I googled butcher shops near me, and some of them that came up were just Carnecerias and at #8 Stater Bros, my market came up. I think your people are much more discerning.
Oh, we have far more than just 4. Those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head.
Either we're more discerning, or the selection isn't that great at the supermarkets. (The latter.)
Did I tell this group that our doctor did an exorcism on the building? Got rid of all kinds of bad ju ju.
No! when was that? And why? I mean... how did the determination come about that there was "bad ju ju" there?
I'm trying to keep up, but Fran isn't allowing me a lot of computer screen time.
Oh, I get this.
None of our cars have back seats! They're all flattened down so we can fit maximum crap in the back.
With all your packages, I get this!
I had mentioned several different people who were interested. This was a family who relocated from up north.
Ah, okay. I think the one you mentioned to me was a son who's mother was coming later from... Colorado?
Are these Canadian home improvement shows? Fran has watched quite a few of them over the years. She fancies herself someone that can do these things.....read: she tells me how to do it... :sad2:
Yes. Holmes on Holmes.
In 2010 Readers Digest did an article on the most trusted Canadians. Mike Holmes came in 2nd!
And remember we aren't rope drop kinda folks. We're stay in bed watching TV, play on our phones type of people. :laughing:
::yes::
I wonder if this is new and they are trying to educate people about the different provinces.
No idea. I just don't want to sit in Saskatchewan. "Welcome to the most boring and flattest part of the restaurant."
Looks like you and Fran are in sync.
::yes::
I'm a fan of Bloody Marys so it follows suit. Had you not made one for me, I may have mustered up the courage to try it on this occasion.
Glad I did that for you. :)

Maybe someday I'll get up the nerve...
The rest of his party was giving him a wide latitude.
I bet!
I don't know if they were just that busy or our server was a putz.
Hmmm... I can see the server just scooping some out onto a plate. It looks that way.
The only times we have long waits are when there are people in scooters ahead of us in line.
Well... I only have long waits when there are people ahead of me in line, too. ;)
 
Playing quarantine catch up again!

So catching up on my second update. I asked if anyone understood Fran’s reference to the entrance to Topolino’s “being just like the Fantasy.” Most of you responding had not been on a Disney Cruise so you had no idea, but Su-Lynn aka @chunkymonkey got it! When you are on the Fantasy (and Dream), there are two fancy restaurants at the back of the ship. When you take the aft elevator to Deck 11 there are only three places to go and they are all either restaurants or bars. Well, I suppose there is a fourth option which is you could take the stairs down.
LOL I didn't even get a notification that you tagged me, so weird I don't get notified from the DVC TR board. But I miss cruising so much and am so sad our Hawaii cruise is a no-go. Not even sure when they are going back to Hawaii.

We realized that with all this tidyness that they think we are staying on cash and that’s why we are getting daily service. OK, I won’t tell them otherwise.
Oooh your little secret LOL.

After we settled up the check, Fran and I took off. It was 9:35 and I didnt want to chance missing the skyliner. The regular line was HUGE! But it looked like it moved pretty quickly. We were taken aside and directed to another queue. You see for guests in wheelchairs or scooters they have a special boarding area at all the stations except the Riviera. The HA cars (which are actually no different than the others, but those cars have chocks to put behind the wheels to brace the scooter), these cars come off the regular line and actually stop to let folks board. This line was much much shorter. We only had 3 cars of people in front of us, but since the HA cars are every 10th car or so, we did wait a little bit. We made it just in time though, because once we were in line, about six more parties with scooters pulled in behind us.
Ah I see how it can create bottlenecks for those in scooters and wheelchairs. The regular line can get super long though at night! During the day I didn't see as many as evening.
We headed to the Skyliner and discovered that being the second stop on the boarding process, can make finding an empty car difficult. Fran got a car right away, but I had to wait until the second HA car came around until I could go. The able bodied folks were just as much out of luck as nearly every car that came over from CBR was already filled.
True, CBR is the "hub" and cars will fill up there first. But funny, every time we passed the Riviera we barely saw any people getting on. Maybe it was just timing...
I love your tank top!
This Deconstructed Strawberry Cheesecake was the best of the three. However I ended up putting it back together to eat it.

I think that's what you're supposed to do! I had this last year and to me it was like a chip n dip platter, and the cheesecake part was the dip, and you topped it with a strawberry, lol
I did not like this almond cake at all, and after one bite gave up. Fran didn't care for it much either and Michael was the one who ended up finishing it off.


Agreed. I was not a fan overall. It was too dense although it looks really pretty and must have been complex to put together. The first few bites were ok but then it got to be too much.
This Pop't Art was just OK and we took half of it back with us.

I had this too and way too sweet for me.
I had done this every day for almost a week after the ride opened and felt like I had a decent handle on how the process worked.
Wow you did your homework! But I guess it paid off with group 10!!
I said that I would cancel it as long as I could have the bread pudding, so now I could cancel it. Even better, we found out that you can now get the noodles, potstickers and chicken wings from 'Ohana at the bar. So now we have a "thing". If there is a wait for Trader Sam's, we will come up to the Tambu Lounge, get some drinks and some appetizers, go to Sam's, have more drinks and appetizers, and come back for dessert. We'll call it the "Polynesian dinner!"
Good idea!
While we have been hunkered down, in all my spare time :laughing: I’ve been working on my online cookbook. Well there will also be a printed version, but they are being produced in tandem. If you’re interested in checking it out you will find it at http://www.longproperties.biz/cookbook.html It’s about halfway done, I still have several categories to add, and a few more recipes to the existing ones.
Oooh I wanted your recipe for chicken vesuvio which I saw you posted on FB but your link doesn't work right now!
We got showered and dressed and finally left the room at 10:30 just as planned. We decided that trying to get on RotR was way too much work. We didn't want to have to get up that early again this trip. The whole hassle of needing to get a taxi, it was only $15, but we didn't need another day of that kind of stress this trip. Besides we were planning on doing it again at home in two weeks and then again in another week.
Oh I'd definitely skip it for you guys, it's so much more practical to go in DLR, you don't have to worry about commuting to the park so early when there isn't any park transport that early to begin with!!
Steve wants to take a trip to Cali in early Dec for a long time to visit his mom. I hope we can travel safely then. If we can, we'll definitely be planning a trip to DLR!!
They took our drink orders and Fran got the mimosa and Thanks to @pkondz I knew that the Bloody Caesar was the drink to order! She got the Mimosa.
I got this too, yum! I even ordered a case of Clamato from amazon after the trip to recreate Bloody Caesars!
I got the Steak Tartare. I couldn't even finish the portion, but it was so tasty!

Man, this looks good I should have gotten this, I got the avocado toast and it was a tiny portion.
Fran got the eggs Benedict with beef striploin. She ate all of it and even some of mine, but we ended up taking part of mine home.

Fran's entree looked better than our Montreal corned beef hash, it was waaaay too salty!
 
I have no one to help with the chores for potentially the next 18 months or whenever this whole thing blows over. That means I am doing all the cleaning she used to do, in addition to all the other household tasks she used to help with like laundry, dishes and other things.

That sounds...exhausting.

A bit of good news is that we finally rented our old place. It had been sitting vacant since the beginning of September. And this time I think the family who rented it will be staying for a while. At least I hope so.

Yay! Hope they stick around.

While we have been hunkered down, in all my spare time :laughing: I’ve been working on my online cookbook. Well there will also be a printed version, but they are being produced in tandem.

Cool, I'll check it out!

We decided that trying to get on RotR was way too much work. We didn't want to have to get up that early again this trip.

That does seem like a lot of work. Is the process any better at Disneyland?

Nothing eventful happened. No cranky trips to guest relations to complain about security, we were in the park half an hour early for our reservation.

Boring.

We got the cheese soup as an extra cause neither of us can resist that.

I could make a meal out of that soup and the pretzel bread.

It was hot and crowded so we headed directly out of the park. We had never planned on sticking around. We hate weekends in the parks. They are just so crowded.

Over the last few years, it's been much harder to find a time when the parks are not crowded.

Well, besides right now, I mean.

They stopped him at the top of the ramp, and luckily they let Fran and I go before him. But I noticed him trying to turn around. He didn't have any clue how to turn his scooter down to a lower setting and he was zipping around bumping into the railings and everything else. Definitely someone you need to avoid in the parks.

Sounds like a broken ankle waiting to happen.

I started getting her up at 5:30PM, but she moved so slowly we didn't get out the door until 6:30 and ended up being late for our dinner reservation. It wasn't a big deal and they seated us right away, but we did not have the lovely dinner experience that we had the last time we were here.

I'm sorry, where is this? From the menu it looks like maybe Jaleo?

A far cry from this that we had last fall.

Wow, that is a big difference. That latest photo is kind of sad.

Evidently they added beets to the recipe.

Why?

Beets have never improved anything. They're like raisins that way.

I was still hungry after that so I fixed myself up this little plate of leftovers from the Yachtsman.

That looks much better than the dinner you had! Sorry about that.
 


Yay for an easy trip.
I have early memories of the skyliner that went through the Matterhorn.

I think that one was called the Skyway, but yes, I remember it too!

Did they ask you to speak french

:laughing: Good one!

Yummm! That's a good looking menu!

I was looking forward to it for months. We booked it the day they announced it.

Dorian is a huge ceasar fan!

They're starting to grow on me!

This is more up my alley

I've never been a fan. I either want champagne or OJ, but not so much mixed.

I'd prob skip this...I like maple, but it's not my fav...

Maple is not my favorite either but everyone seems to think it is the representative flavor of Canada.

I'd much rather have this!

I was so glad they could add this as a bonus. I think I should make this next month.

That's a decent serving!

If I ate deviled eggs, that would be my entire brunch!

Dannng that looks sooo good!

It was, but so much food.

And sooo does this! I don't know how I would decide, as Dorian wouldn't want to share much of this beauty

Fran offered, but I was already getting so full.

Maple again!

Like I said, we seem to think Maple is the representative flavor of Canada.

Yumm, espresso chocolate mousse! Perfect! Chocolate and coffee, two of my favs!

The mousse was very good, but so rich!

Gin drink? Love their tonics

Yes, I have been venturing out and trying gin a little more often.

Pretty mehh hey! Your other meal looked like it was a lot better.

Yes it definitely was.

I JUST found out we have a new french pastry shop that does macaroons..will have to check it out!

I would avoid them if they did macaroons, but if they made macarons, that a whole different game!
 
:sad2: There are so many accidents with these things. I think a lot of folks that don't normally use them suddenly do because of the huge amounts of walking needed. But that is going to set the scene for loads of unsafe stuff to happen. Unfortunately it gives a bad rap to everyone using one.

Yeah, there are a lot of people who get them because they're either lazy or think it will be fun. Those are the ones going too fast in crowds or riding around with toddlers on their laps. Most people who really need them are careful and thoughtful, but there are the ones who are just clueless as well.

Oh no!! But the brunch sure looked amazing! The food looked really good, especially the eggs. I LOVE deviled eggs AND Eggs Benedict. Mmm!!!

The brunch was definitely amazing. I would do that again in a heartbeat.

Well, that's just dumb. Bummer the presentation was lost. :(

I was less than disappointed.
 
Hi, Alison! I've finally found my way to reading one of your TRs after seeing you comment on many of the ones I've read!

I'm late to the party for sure, but I wanted to tell you, you're a genius on the newly discovered "Polynesian dinner!" The best parts of the 'Ohana dinner are the potstickers and noodles and bread pudding, which I had no idea you could get at the Tambu Lounge!! I am now fully invested in your plan :)

Looking forward to reading more about your $6,688 trip LOL
 
I've never been a fan. I either want champagne or OJ, but not so much mixed.
The couple of times I've been in this situation, I ask for just the bubbles, I'd rather the OJ not mess with it too.

Maple is not my favorite either but everyone seems to think it is the representative flavor of Canada.
I agree with you there- although I like maple, I don't LOVE maple

I was so glad they could add this as a bonus. I think I should make this next month.
Do you make a version similar or do you have their actual recipe?
If I ate deviled eggs, that would be my entire brunch!
I agree on both fronts.

Yes, I have been venturing out and trying gin a little more often.
Whenever we can have drinks again, one of them will have to be gin

I would avoid them if they did macaroons, but if they made macarons, that a whole different game!
ohhh yes, I agree! Not a huge fan of those coconut jobs either...
 
The whole meal sounds like a disappointment. I suppose that if you hadn't had your previous meal, you wouldn't have known the difference and maybe it would have been a better experience, but I feel let down just from looking at the pictures of this time and last time.

It really was a disappointment. We're not eager to go back now. And not knowing when we will go back, it's hard to think about as well.

That breakfast looked awesome, though! I feel like that's the kind of meal I'd have in a Palo brunch and then I'd be full through dinner and get hungry and some random time much later.

That's pretty much what happened. It was 7:00 or later by the time we were finally eating dinner so it was definitely later.

I'm glad to hear that you've still been busy with life. I know it's probably more work than what you want right now, but it's probably helping keep your mind off of all of this shelter in place.

Yeah, still tons to do, if it's not eBay, it's the apartments.
 
Yeah, there are a lot of people who get them because they're either lazy or think it will be fun. Those are the ones going too fast in crowds or riding around with toddlers on their laps. Most people who really need them are careful and thoughtful, but there are the ones who are just clueless as well.

That should actually be against the rules IMHO. Toddlers don't belong on one of those when they should be trying to watch and drive their scooter!

The brunch was definitely amazing. I would do that again in a heartbeat.

I don't know if my heart could be tugged away from Cali Grill Brunch, but... I'd try this one. :)
 
Oh, we have far more than just 4. Those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head.
Either we're more discerning, or the selection isn't that great at the supermarkets. (The latter.)

Our supermarkets have surprisingly good meat. Well, when the meat plants are not shut down due to viruses....

No! when was that? And why? I mean... how did the determination come about that there was "bad ju ju" there?

Well, the last three tenants (four now) in apartment #2 (and #1) have stayed a year or less. I had decided that I wanted to do an exorcism or something before we rented it last June, but that didn't happen. At the end of January I decided we needed to do something, and then I remembered that our doctor had gotten into all this weird spiritual stuff, so I called her up and explained the situation.

Immediately she said, "Yes, there us a curse on it." So we set up an appointment for her to come out and she went through all the units with a burning piece of wood (she said she likes the smell better than sage). She did all these cleansing "spells", for lack of a better word.

A couple years back we had a single guy who rented #3. His sister and someone's GF moved in with him, and loud fighting arguments ensued. This is also a violation of the rental agreement. The neighbor clued us in to the fighting and one day we caught them in the act. Fran suggested they find another place to live.

We determined that Apt 4 was largely uncursed because we believed that the sister liked the residents there, but the other three had bad energy. And in #3 she found a lot of negative energy, presumably left by the fighting residents.

So hopefully the tenants in #1 stick around, and we get someone good in #2. Interestingly enough, #3 has always had financial difficulties since moving in. We took a chance on a Veteran's program, and have regretted it. However he has mostly kept up by splitting his rent payments in half. This past month was the first that he paid it in one sum at the beginning of the month. Who knows if the cleansing helped his financial situation as well?

Oh, I get this.

:sad2:

With all your packages, I get this!

We are still plugging away at the garages at De Soto, and two of our three cars are packed with boxes floor to ceiling.

Ah, okay. I think the one you mentioned to me was a son who's mother was coming later from... Colorado?

Ah, yes. That was Washington. And nope they dried up and disappeared. Poof! I was afraid that the second group did as well. The husband toured the place, they were relocating from the Bay Area. About a week after the process was initiated I was afraid that they had disappeared too. Out of the blue the wife calls me, she was polite, but was basically like, "What's up? I submitted stuff last week?"

I explained that I had not heard back from her husband to set up an appointment to take their application. And SNAP! Within about an hour on hanging up the phone with her, I had an appointment with him for two days lafter. It was at that point I knew who wore the pants in that family.

Yes. Holmes on Holmes.
In 2010 Readers Digest did an article on the most trusted Canadians. Mike Holmes came in 2nd!

Don't you mean Holmes on Homes? And we've watched that one.

No idea. I just don't want to sit in Saskatchewan. "Welcome to the most boring and flattest part of the restaurant."

:laughing:

Glad I did that for you. :)

:thumbsup2

Maybe someday I'll get up the nerve...

If we were dining together, I would give you a taste. :flower3:

Hmmm... I can see the server just scooping some out onto a plate. It looks that way.

It was sad.

Well... I only have long waits when there are people ahead of me in line, too. ;)

Well if its just people, we go to the front. We have to wait only if there are scooters in front of us.
 
Our supermarkets have surprisingly good meat. Well, when the meat plants are not shut down due to viruses....
Ours are quite good too, but for really good cuts... go to a butcher. Most don't.
Well, the last three tenants (four now) in apartment #2 (and #1) have stayed a year or less.

We determined that Apt 4 was largely uncursed because we believed that the sister liked the residents there, but the other three had bad energy. And in #3 she found a lot of negative energy, presumably left by the fighting residents.
So did she cleanse #4 anyways, as well? What did the "cleansing "spells"" look like? Chanting? Just motions?
So hopefully the tenants in #1 stick around, and we get someone good in #2. Interestingly enough, #3 has always had financial difficulties since moving in. We took a chance on a Veteran's program, and have regretted it. However he has mostly kept up by splitting his rent payments in half. This past month was the first that he paid it in one sum at the beginning of the month. Who knows if the cleansing helped his financial situation as well?
Perhaps it did! Obviously didn't hurt!
We are still plugging away at the garages at De Soto, and two of our three cars are packed with boxes floor to ceiling.
Holy smokes!
Ah, yes. That was Washington. And nope they dried up and disappeared. Poof!
Ah. I'm familiar with the breed.
I was afraid that the second group did as well. The husband toured the place, they were relocating from the Bay Area. About a week after the process was initiated I was afraid that they had disappeared too. Out of the blue the wife calls me, she was polite, but was basically like, "What's up? I submitted stuff last week?"
:lmao: I can just imagine the conversation at their place after that!
I explained that I had not heard back from her husband to set up an appointment to take their application. And SNAP! Within about an hour on hanging up the phone with her, I had an appointment with him for two days lafter. It was at that point I knew who wore the pants in that family.
::yes::
Don't you mean Holmes on Homes? And we've watched that one.
Yes! Sorry about the typo.
If we were dining together, I would give you a taste. :flower3:
I'd accept it! I may not order something in particular, because I don't want to be stuck with a dish that I am not enjoying (As opposed to when it's the chef's fault, when I feel that it's acceptable to send it back. i.e. My fault vs their fault.) but will try new things.
Well if its just people, we go to the front. We have to wait only if there are scooters in front of us.
:laughing: I have to wait only if there are scooters behind me.

We'd make a great team. I'll go and get my usual zero wait and then board first with you guys. Win/win!
 
Playing quarantine catch up again!

I hear ya!

LOL I didn't even get a notification that you tagged me, so weird I don't get notified from the DVC TR board. But I miss cruising so much and am so sad our Hawaii cruise is a no-go. Not even sure when they are going back to Hawaii.

I miss cruising too, and now we have no plans for another cruise. We rescheduled at first but when they actually canceled our cruise we needed the money pretty badly, so we took the credit on our card.

Oooh your little secret LOL.

:laughing:

Ah I see how it can create bottlenecks for those in scooters and wheelchairs. The regular line can get super long though at night! During the day I didn't see as many as evening.

Well everyone is trying to get home at park closing. We made it just in time that night before the rush.

True, CBR is the "hub" and cars will fill up there first. But funny, every time we passed the Riviera we barely saw any people getting on. Maybe it was just timing...

I never saw any lines at any of the skyliner stations except that one night going home from the steakhouse. Then again it was broken down one of the nights we planned to use it.

I love your tank top

Thanks! Its so fun. I can't wait to wear it again where people would "get it".

I think that's what you're supposed to do! I had this last year and to me it was like a chip n dip platter, and the cheesecake part was the dip, and you topped it with a strawberry, lol

Sounds about right.

Agreed. I was not a fan overall. It was too dense although it looks really pretty and must have been complex to put together. The first few bites were ok but then it got to be too much.

Yeah, I had a bite or two before I decided that I didn't really care for it.

I had this too and way too sweet for me.

I just thought it didn't have a lot of flavor, honestly I'd rather just have a Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tart.

Wow you did your homework! But I guess it paid off with group 10!!

Yeah, not so much in future attempts but it all worked out.

Good idea!

I so wish that I could be planning a Polynesian dinner right now.... ((((Sigh))))

Oooh I wanted your recipe for chicken vesuvio which I saw you posted on FB but your link doesn't work right now!

I'm glad you were able to make it and liked it!

Oh I'd definitely skip it for you guys, it's so much more practical to go in DLR, you don't have to worry about commuting to the park so early when there isn't any park transport that early to begin with!!
Steve wants to take a trip to Cali in early Dec for a long time to visit his mom. I hope we can travel safely then. If we can, we'll definitely be planning a trip to DLR!!

I doubt it will be open by then, but we can always dream!

I got this too, yum! I even ordered a case of Clamato from amazon after the trip to recreate Bloody Caesars!

I try not to keep cocktail ingredients at home. It would make for a lot of unproductiveness.

Man, this looks good I should have gotten this, I got the avocado toast and it was a tiny portion.

If you like deviled eggs, I'd say it was a good deal.

Fran's entree looked better than our Montreal corned beef hash, it was waaaay too salty!

Well I'm glad to hear I chose well! It was between the French toast or the has for me.
 
That sounds...exhausting.

It is. The house is still a mess and I'm tired.

Yay! Hope they stick around.

Me too. Vacancies are pain.

Cool, I'll check it out!

Find anything good?

That does seem like a lot of work. Is the process any better at Disneyland?

No, it's actually even more brutal.


:laughing:

I could make a meal out of that soup and the pretzel bread.

:scratchin I should put that soup on the menu rotation.

Over the last few years, it's been much harder to find a time when the parks are not crowded.

Well, besides right now, I mean.

Yeah, pretty much. But at least weekdays are better than weekends.

Sounds like a broken ankle waiting to happen.

Either that or knee caps.

I'm sorry, where is this? From the menu it looks like maybe Jaleo?

Yes, I forgot to mention the name. I guess I didn't want to shame them too badly.

Wow, that is a big difference. That latest photo is kind of sad.

Yeah, it was.

Why?

Beets have never improved anything. They're like raisins that way.

I wholeheartedly agree with this!

That looks much better than the dinner you had! Sorry about that.

It was better, glad I had such yummy leftovers.
