Where are we, Jersey? Bye, Phoenicians! An August 2017 TR * NEW DINING/TR LINKS*

Your Pirate cruise looked like a lot more fun than a dessert party. :)

Have a great time. I know you'll have fun. ;)

Having done a couple dessert parties I'll say yes, it was more fun :goodvibes Even though it was a little slow after we ate our snacks, we had fun watching Hook and Smee interacting with the kids. Plus it was so entertaining on the boat before and after HEA, I do highly recommend it!

I brought my DS Mike back in February, does that count?
lol, it counts for anyone bringing someone named Mike :laughing:

Have a great time!!!
:thanks:
 
You are probably literally on your way to the airport! But have a great trip!!!

And then back to the Poly to eat. Not sure if we'll do Capt. Cook's where I really want to try the pulled pork nachos, or go to Tambu Lounge and eat (drink) there.
I loved the nachos way back when we stayed there. But you should go to Trader Sam's!!!
Some of you know what his favorite ride is :rotfl2: but here's a hint for those of you who don't:

Man, if we ever overlap on trips, we need to get both DH to wear there shirts!

The last week or so apparently even the FP line has been around 45 minutes because only one elevator is working? *** people, get it together before I get there!
Ha! Too funny... Probably a nightmare for the CM's.

Aw, the first time we met :hug: Of course her DH Jason and adorable daughter Casey will be there, too! We've all been to Citricos before but while Steve and I absolutely love it, Kari and Jason have only found it "eh" so we're hoping to change their minds.
Have a great dinner together!
 
Your plans sound amazing!!! Cannot wait to hear all about your trip! Hope you're having a wonderful time! :goodvibes
 


I'm so jealous that you are back at WDW again...I think you've been what twice since we met in August lol? But it's fun anyway to live vicariously! Hope you are enjoying all the F&W goodness...and In Living Colour, how fun!
 
Hi everyone, before I get to my next update I want to share a few pictures from my stepson Jason's wedding this past Saturday! If you're also following my dining report I apologize for making you look at them twice, but I'm so proud I need to share :goodvibes
I saw them in a couple places, but you are certainly allowed to post them again! Congrats again!

This had never been on my radar until I became a travel agent. Hearing my fellow agents talk about it made me really want to try it!
I wanted to do this is 2016 when it was still Wishes but my parents poo-poo'd it. And now that it is HEA - and I love it and the projections - we will be opting for the dessert party again for our next full parks trip. Maybe we will eventually do it obce I have had my fill of projections. :)

Is Chris EVER excited???
Um...I'm going no here. LOL

were each given a cute little pirate bandanna:

Nice!

Something else you see as soon as you get off the escalator:

img_6914-jpg.279519
Love it!

like when the real young kids were brought up by their parents and started screaming like crazy in the characters' faces
:rotfl2:

But it was also really cute to see the ones who weren't scared run up with such enthusiasm. I miss that from my boys!
I really need to soak up the next 10 years huh??

Oh well, you win some you- whoops, wrong report!
:lmao:

They have quite the selection of goodies out: popcorn, pretzels, cotton candy, cakes, fruit, ice cream, and lots of drinks to choose from:
Yummy!

Chris was like, "he better not come to me!":

img_6935-jpg.279685
:rotfl:

Well, at the bathrooms here Patch said this is your last chance if you have to go and one person ran in - Chris.
Of course...haha.

Followed by Capt. Hook lol!
Now that's funny!

I've heard about really funny Patches and not so funny Patches; luckily this guy was pretty funny.
Glad you got a good one!

The fireworks though look beautiful from the boat:

img_6965-jpg.279699
They really do!

When we docked he gave beads to anyone who didn't get a prize and we didn't even have to lift up our shirts
:rotfl2:

A surprise was waiting on the dock as we approached:

img_6988-jpg.279704
Oh, I forgot about Peter Pan!

I got the Black Cherry Lemonade which Steve had gotten back in March and I loved: Grey Goose Cherry Noir Vodka, Odwalla® Lemonade, fresh Lime Juice, and Grenadine topped with Sprite®

He got a Black Cherry Mule, mules being his new favorite thing to drink: Zodiac Black Cherry Vodka, fresh Lime Juice, and Agave Nectar topped with Fever Tree Ginger Beer
When you going to try my drink, lady??? ;)

The black cherry lemonade goes down like plain lemonade and Steve loved his mule. In fact, we finished our drinks while eating so Steve went back to GP and got us two more :thumbsup2
My kind of people!
 
All caught up! I know it’s been a while now, but so sorry about Ricky’s injury! I hope his surgery went well and that he’s on the road to a speedy recovery.

I’ve been enjoying catching up on your journey - you always make me laugh. Chris seems to be in full independent attitude mode and I love that you’re making the most of it. By now you’re back from your November trip too. Looking forward to hearing about that one as well! And congrats on your upcoming in March. That was our favorite time to go, weather wise.
 
I loved the nachos way back when we stayed there. But you should go to Trader Sam's!!!
OMG those nachos were amazing, I posted a quick little review over on my dining report :cloud9: We considered Trader Sam's but it was packed! And honestly - I wanted those nachos lol

Man, if we ever overlap on trips, we need to get both DH to wear there shirts!
:laughing: Oh, that's a big YES!

I'm so jealous that you are back at WDW again...I think you've been what twice since we met in August lol
lol! This was our first time back since August, but even though you haven't been back to WDW you are ALL over the place traveling! Jealous!

Oh, I forgot about Peter Pan!
:thumbsup2 I know you want the projections but I do think your boys would love this. You could always do HEA from inside the park one night and this another night :D

When you going to try my drink, lady??? ;)
I DID!!! Back in March when Steve and I stayed at WL! I thought it was just ok :duck:remember?

All caught up! I know it’s been a while now, but so sorry about Ricky’s injury! I hope his surgery went well and that he’s on the road to a speedy recovery.
Thank you :hug: and I know you're busy but it's always nice to have you here. His surgery was yesterday, luckily it went great but today isn't so good :( Tons of pain once the nerve blocks wore off and hard to see him that way, but he'll get through. Should be the worst day pain-wise I hope!

I’ve been enjoying catching up on your journey - you always make me laugh
I'm happy I make you laugh! I went over to your DL TR about a week ago or so? But no new posts since I was last there so I'm trying my best to keep up :goodvibes

By now you’re back from your November trip too. Looking forward to hearing about that one as well! And congrats on your upcoming in March. That was our favorite time to go, weather wise.
Nov. trip was really good, I'll do a little recap here. Excited about March! The boys haven't been in March but Steve and I went on our first adults only trip in March 2015. That week happened to be extra chilly but otherwise the weather is supposed to be nice so I'm looking forward to that.
 
Hi there everyone, we're back from our quick Nov. trip AND, Ricky had his surgery yesterday. It went perfectly and yesterday when we got home he was comfortable and not in much pain; unfortunately when the nerve blocks in his knee wore off early this morning, severe pain set in. It was really tough today seeing a kid with a very high pain tolerance in SO much pain, but now it's a bit better and we know today and tomorrow will be the hardest days. A couple of his friends wanted to surprise him today and stop by but I told them as sweet as that was (it truly warmed my heart) he just wasn't up to it; but tomorrow 5 of his basketball friends are planning on bringing pizza over in the afternoon, so we're hoping Ricky can get out of bed and move to his man cave downstairs to hang for a bit. Thank you everyone for your kind words before his surgery!
As for our trip, we managed to have a good time :goodvibes I'm doing a quick review of our eats over in my dining report but I think I'm just going to move on with our August trip here, and maybe do a mini Nov. TR at the end. However I do want to share these pictures from our Nov. trip with you:

DISMEET #1 with Kelly @buzzrelly at the Poly!
IMG_7448.JPG

DISMEET #2 with Su-Lynn and Steve @chunkymonkey at Epcot!

DISMEET #3 with Jenny @Jenny Sanders at Mizners! Hoping to meet up again with her and her DH Joe on our March trip!
meandjenny.jpg

DISMEET #4 with Kari @kastoney!
meandkari.jpg
Yeah this is a horrendous shot. Kari, myself and our DH's spent a nice night eating and drinking around WS before going over to Abracadabar for one final nightcap, but this is the only picture I seem to have.

DISMEET #5 with the entire Family Stone at Citricos @kastoney!
IMG_7664.JPG

Do not ask what I'm doing in this picture; all I know is Casey told us to pose, and apparently at 46 this is how I pose.

I was really bummed I narrowly missed Ashley @Vernie822 and Ashley @ashw100, and I do hope we can meet on a future trip! It's always awesome to meet up with friends from the DIS when down in Disney, especially when those DIS friends become friends outside the boards :) Like I said, I'll probably do a little Nov. TR when I finish the last 3 days of our Aug. trip. And I'll be back REAL SOON to get back to that! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
 
Yay!!! I was sooo happy we got to meet up again!! We love talking with you guys - always so much fun!
Awesome DISmeets! Love that pictures with @kastoney and Casey at dinner, hope dinner was great, it sure looked like it!
It's too bad I missed @buzzrelly and @Jenny Sanders! Hopefully in the future!

And yay for Ricky's surgery going well, hope for a speedy recovery! His friends are so awesome! I'd love a pizza when I'm down, lol. Actually I could take pizza anytime...
 
I hope the worst is over for Ricky.

Sounds like you had a great trip. You look like you’re doing the sprinkler in the Citrico’s pic. :P

Not to discount the great pictures, but this was the information I was looking for in your TR now. So thankful the surgery went well. Very cool his friends wanted to stop by. Well the phrase originated in weight lifting, but it applies to surgery and physical therapy also...no pain no gain. As much as I hate it for him and for you to see, the pain is part of the making it better process and from your descriptions, he can do it. Tell him to put on his ride face. ;)
 
I hope Ricky's knee heals quickly. It sounds like he has a great group of friends. :)
Your November trip sounds like it was a lot of fun with all those Dis meets. We've enjoyed all of the Dis meets we've had during our trips. :)
 
I'm back and just in time to catch up with life updates and trip updates! I was only 6 or 7 pages behind :rolleyes1 so I'll keep my comments short.

I am so glad Ricky's surgery is behind you now and sending you lots of well wishes for a smooth recovery. That was so sweet of his teammates - I hope he is up to pizza and hanging out very very soon!

I hate that we miss all of your Disney trips by just days or weeks :sad: I guess that just leaves me something to look forward to in future! All of your dismeets look like lots of fun! Can't wait to hear about them.
