B, I am looking forward to hearing about your thoughts on the Dole Whip I hate pineapple and I'm not even a big ice cream lover but for some reason, I love those things!!!

And as for watching the fireworks from the CG, if you are still in the vicinity, you could always go back up after your dinner (with your dinner check!) and see them from the outdoor balcony. I remember when mere peons who weren't dining there could sneak up and watch them from that balcony for free Oh yeah, I was said peon in 1999 and 2000 Then in 2002 I was forced to buy a $4 coke from the bar and then in 2003 I was completely banned Basty Nastards!

We'll get back to you on those Dole Whips, Cass. And yeah, I know we can go back after dinner and watch the fireworks, but we really don't like watching the pretty 'splosions from the viewing deck. Too crowded.

If Jeanne has the nerve to go up and get a pic of Robert's massive arms, I'll go up there, too. And I'll make sure Brenda has my camera to take a pic. How about we ask him to do a Gaston pose, and Jeanne and I act like the "silly girls"?

I'm kinda bummed that I don't have an opportunity to wear the tea cosy hat.

Perhaps we can make a trial run on the 16th at Kitchen Conversation?

I just LOVE your reviews!!! I can't wait to read about your new dining adventures!

Have a wonderful trip!

Thanks so much - glad to have you here!

Yay - a new report from Brenda!! Good times!

Your food-tineraries look incredible, as always. We are just missing you - we arrive on October 20, so no random Brenda/Jason/Planky sightings this year. We are also missing PFTS on October 25 since we leave the next morning at the crack of dawn. I really waffled over booking it, but the idea of a food and wine hangover, mixed with flying across the country at the crack of dawn, mixed with the cost of the tickets....you see where I'm going. Oh well, maybe next year...

Looking forward to more!

Hey there PPZ! I was wondering if we were going to run into each other without my actually knowing it this Fall. Too bad about PFTS, but I totally understand where you're coming from. You should try for PFTS on 10/17 next year ... a certain goofball is celebrating her 40th birthday at that event.

subscribing. I don't want to miss out.

Hi Sherry! Happy to have you here!

Better late than never.....

ps...Cass "Basty Nastards!"....

I thought it was funny, too. Nice of you to make an appearance Mr. Mysterious.

First we have to see how big his body guards are!!

Then, yes I do plan on asking, um begging. I like the Gaston pose, good idea. I am a blonde, you know.

I'll be looking for pictures!

waiting for more!

I think I'm pretty much tapped out at this point ... but I'm glad you stopped in to let me know you're reading!

I guess I have been out of the loop and just saw this.. I resemble this statment! Can't wait for your reviews and I am loving the pre-trip-happieness!

Hi Kabuki! It will be a friendly cheese-rumble ... I don't expect to have any trouble unless someone else wants to join us for cheese! Looking forward to seeing you on the 11th!

Brenda - I was so excited to see a new report. Somehow it snuck past me that it was almost October, which means not only my own trip to WDW, but a new trippie from you! I just realized today that my trip is like 2 weeks away! and at the same time! Anyway, thanks for all the time you put into your reports to make the rest of us happy.

Hi Cassie! It's good to see you again - hope you've been well. Hooray for your upcoming trip ... it sounds like we might overlap each other this time, so if you happen to see us please say hello! And thanks for the kind words ... you guys make me happy by reading and posting - it's so much fun to re-live the trip with everyone here.

OK ... you guys can give me your thoughts on this ...

Our last dinner on property is October 16th at Citricos and being the dork I am, I wanted to order something from the GF Bakery for my birthday, but it has to be small since we leave the next morning.

The obvious choice would be the miniature castle cake, but do you know what I'd really like to do? I'd love to order that white chocolate Mickey Mouse with the tuxedo strawberries ... do you think that they'd do that since it's something that's on the hotel's amenities menu? I suppose it wouldn't hurt to call and ask ...

Your not being a dork .. it's your birthday and you should have what you want! All they can do is say no (which they wont)!
Go for it!

When I asked Jay what he thought about it he said, "White chocolate? Can't they give us a 6-inch solid milk or dark chocolate Mickey instead?"

I may try to call tomorrow and see if I can accomplish anything.

Ooh I'm with Jay on this one sister...go for the "real" chocolate...let us know if they can do it!

And PS....leave some food and booze there for me ok? I am just a few days behind ya and I would hate to go to the bar and order me a drink only to have the bartender say, Uh sorry your Dis friend Bren drank it all!

I totally think you can get those "tuxedo" strawberries without any difficulty. I bet it's a heckuva lot easier to arrange than a specialty dessert. And I know for a fact that years and years ago, they DID have a chocolate Mickey "statue".

My friends and I "won" one during our Chef Mickey's dinner during WDW's 25th celebration just by being the "125th guest" of the restaurant that night. They brought out a bowl filled with M&Ms and the Mickey standing in the middle of them. I know I have a picture of it somewhere at home, but I'd have to search for it, since it was from 1996.

I am just glad that I am not going to Disney until April, it will give them time to recover and resupply on all those yummy beverages after you guys clean them out!

Which week are guys going to be there? We will be there April 17th to the 26th so I may have to try and save YOU booze and food after all!

 

[honeybee30]

Ah shnap, Brenda! We'll miss you guys by 1 day! We're heading down Fri, 10/3 for a short trip to F&W and leaving Tuesday. Only 10 days to go!

I hope you and Jay have a great trip, too. I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!

 

[Jennifer48]

I'm here B!! You'll be in da World when I'm at da "other" world, Vegas Baby!

Anywho, do you know that you can get free admission to a Disney park on your birthday? I think you should just because you can I think you have to sign up on the WDW site and make sure you have proper ID at the gate to pick up your ticket.

Can't wait to hear about your escapades!

Well, dang - slap me with a wet noodle, I'm LATE! Sorry, B! Steve & I are really looking forward to our Blue Zoo dinner with you guys! I can't believe your trip is almost here! BTW, I started a pre-TR... but there's not much to it yet... Link in siggie. I'm going to pour myself a little drink after dinner and come back to properly catch up.

Cheers!
-Michelle

P.S. I'm bummed you had to axe V&A. We are on the verge, too...

 

[D&R love Disney]

Great line up Brenda

I love Robert Irvine, I hope the event is everything and more!

I had the cheese plate at CG early this month and it was great, the only one I didn't care for and you'd probably agree was the Gratte-Paille since it had mushroom flavor why ruin cheese with mushroom flavor

I guess that makes me a total slacker because I haven't started a pre-trip report of any kind.

If I do write...who am I kidding? When I do write my report, I'll have to embed some links to the reviews of the same dinner from you and Brenda.

 

[oybolshoi]

We could do a tag team review ..

And woo hoo ... our Disney Reward Card showed up today ... $172 towards food, glorious food!

 

[kabuki]

You axed V&A ... Dang.. I was counting on your food reviews so I didn't have to do them! Your initial list had us at the same places a few days apart .. Brenda.. I was ridding on your food noshing and reviewing coat-tails! Now I have to do my own?? We are still doing Vic and Al's due to the lack of special events we are off to and that Jason has only stepped in the place to take a picture and make sure I didn't take off with a plate or something laid out!
