First of all, the weather was cold for Florida, boo
Well... shoot. You go to Disney in winter to get
away from the cold!
It also rained a few days on and off and the last couple days, the sun was out, but chilly
Better than snow, but... still.
Despite the cold weather, we really had a wonderful time.
We didn’t arrive to the resort until 1am.
Ugh... tooo late! But think you did that to maximize your Disney time?
Our other 8 nights were at Gran Destino Tower at CSR. We had a lake view room on the 14th floor.
Nice!
Wow, that sure is pretty.
We ate and drank at 3 Bridges twice, Toledo once, Rix once, and the Barcelona lounge.
Those are
all in Gran Destino?!?!?
Every time I see that, my brain does this: "Wolf Gang Puck... no... Wolf Bang Guck... um.. Wolf B something Puck... W... Wine! Wine Bar George!"
Every. Single. Time.
We also ate at WBG, Frontera Cocina, Enzo’s Hideaway, Sanaa, Nomad’s Lounge, Yak&Yeti, Satuli Canteen, Columbia Harbor House, Via Napoli, Spice Road Table, Sci-Fi diner, and 2 breakfast meals at Steakhouse 71 and Trattoria Al Forno.
What a great list!
Sure is pretty!
I also finally had the cheeseburger egg rolls in the MK, these were delicious.
Really! I've steered away from that as the sound of it didn't appeal at all. Might have to revise my opinion.
We also tried the Donald Duck mouse cake from Gaston’s. This was Lemon mousse with blueberry filling, citrus cake and buttercream. This was yum yum
and very cute!
Thanks for the tip.
Andi also had the moonshine from Homecomin and she loved it. She said it was strong and made her drunk, lol
I waited almost an hour to get into Gideon’s Bake House and I was rewarded with one of the best cold brews I have ever had. I tried the Banana Bread cold brew. It sounds strange but omg it was so delicious. I loved it!
While I don't drink coffee... I just can't see myself waiting in line an hour for a cookie (or cookies.)
We could tell Disney, overall, was very short staffed.
Like so many places, now.
We used it in MK & HS. We found it useful in these 2 parks. We also paid extra for FoP 1x, Remy 1x, and Rise 1x. We did get to ride everything we wanted to for the most part.
Okay, thanks for this. I've been wrestling on whether to just buy it for our whole trip or a la carte like you did.
I have noticed the parks are crazy busy in the morning now and it is very hard to accomplish much at RD.
The word's gotten out, I suppose.
That or the majority of people going to Disney right now are the hard-core fans who know all the tricks.
of course Dinosaur three times yay!
Of course!
Perfect shirt.
Splash and Everest were both down for refurbishment.
Well poop. Then again... not that strange given the month you went.
Another perfect shirt.
Do you wear clothes with an agenda for certain photo ops? Or you wear them for the park and just happen upon these photo ops?
I think so many people do remote learning now and there isn’t set school breaks anymore
Hmmm... could very well be.
We tried the After Fireworks dessert party at MK for Enchantment.
Oh! DD wants to do one and I didn't think they had them right now.
The viewing area was great even though it was crowded. I have to say the fireworks, boo
not a fan at all. The fireworks are less, music meh, and none of the special feels like HEA and Wishes.
Ah well... I guess I'll see for myself soon enough.
The dessert selections were okay but not as good as before the pandemic. I would not recommend a dessert party at this time. I’m glad we tried it and didn’t have to fight the crowds but not worth the cost.
Hmm... think I'll still do it. We enjoyed having a place to sit and relax while watching. The food/drink was secondary for us.
We drank several glasses of champagne and sparkling wine to cover the cost. Haha
We have tested negative twice now since back, yay
If anyone has questions or would like more info about our vacation, FArt booths, restaurants,
Genie+ etc…. Let me know
I may be PMing you if that's okay?
Our next trip is 4/26-5/3 at WL.
Ooohhh... nice. Love WL.
I will definitely write a report for this trip
Yay!
We have a late August trip planned with my sister Donna,
Maybe our dates will overlap.
Not quite sure when we'll be there yet (might book that today), but my window is between Aug 16 -26. Most likely be there for a week, somewhere within those days.
We will also spend 2 nights at USO at Portofino Bay and we will be attending Halloween Horror Nights. We are going all out and getting express pass for it since it will be on Labor Day weekend.
We're skipping Uni this trip and just staying at WDW. Not sure how we're getting there yet, but probably Lyft. (Maybe rent a car... we'll see.)
I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoy your winter
Ours is freezing and snow filled, aren’t we lucky, lol
Ya.... loving this winter... not.
look
for my report after our April trip!
Cute!
