Yum, bread service at Sanaa is the best.
It really is!
I love this, you made the best of it, I'd say.
Yeah it was a bummer but I just don't want to stop when I'm at Disney! I want to do everything!
That is so nice! What a beautiful moment for him to take and remember your Dad.
It really was sweet of him.
It was better than I thought it would be!
It was!!
Disney calories, don't count, right? Just like shortbread cookies at Easter, lol!
Exactly! And like the Canadian chocolate bar I'm eating right now courtesy of Fallon.
That's too bad your knee was bothering you. How is it doing today and will it hamper your trip next week?
I finished 6 weeks of physical therapy last year and then I just tried to maintain the strength in my knee. I could do more though. I swim and do yoga mostly. It does still bother me but that' when I haven't moved in a long time and is stiff or if I'm walking funny or wearing non-supportive shoes. I think this is just a chronic condition. It didn't really affect me too much in the past 2 weeks on the trip, the only time I notice it is when I'm walking down stairs. Walking up is ok, but down will hurt. It was mostly an issue on the cruise ship going up and down decks.
No judgment from me regarding food. I'm a petite person, but can put away an insane amount of food. I amaze people at how much I can eat.
You are my idol!!
Satu'li Canteen's bowls are my favorite counter service meal in all of WDW. Honestly, I think they're better than a lot of table service meals I've had.
Sooo yummy! They have changed their bowls slightly in that the rice is a bit different. It's still good though.
That bread service at Sanaa is the stuff dreams are made of. Well, at least my dreams. Now I'm craving it.
OMG me too. We tried to get it yesterday since we were staying at AKL right before we had to leave on ME but it was so crowded! The lounge was packed. Boo.
Have a safe and fantastic trip!
Thank you! We sure did!
I had my first encounter like this. It was a little strange. But Gwen got a kick out of it!
LOL are they impressed with all your "internet" friends?
Now that I think about it, I def voted but I can't remember what I picked...
Probably me slower than the turtle.
I never get tired of looking at pictures of the bread service! I really need to get us there again soon!
Me too. I'm so sad that our next trip is not until the fall. We did not get Sanaa bread service on this trip, we just had so many other things we were eating. But I would like it again soon for sure!
I'm all caught up! (Just before you finish this TR!
)
I think it was a good idea to switch rooms - that door would've driven me CRAZY!
I'm sure having two bathroom areas also helped quite a bit, too.
Hi Jenny! Thanks for reading!
Yup that room door was so annoying, I'm glad we got a better room.
Ah, Toy Story Land! I'm SO excited to see this and experience the new rides! It will be a little sad to ride them by myself (as we'll have to use child swap), but I look forward to it, anyway!
It's so much fun, you'd enjoy it whether alone or not!
I'm also pretty excited to try some of the new snacks! The Pub Tots look great - more up my alley than the tots at Woody's Lunchbox (as I'm not a fan of chili with beans). I also would love to try the Peter Pan Float. I'd read mixed reviews on another report, but your endorsement will lead me to give it a try!
Pub tots are so yummy! And the float is delicious. Also the new Lost Princess cone is good! It's lemon sherbet flavor!
I'm REALLY impressed with Su-Queen's character dedication! Her pictures with the seven dwarves and the Pooh characters in costume turned out SO well!
Oh you're in for a treat with her latest set of outfits...
Your hotel room in Sydney - WOW!!! What an AMAZING view! I'm glad you had such a fun vacation!
Thank you!! We had an amazing time.
You went to several restaurants that I've avoided or just skipped for the past few years... Hollywood and Vine may make it onto our list due to the little person that's coming along with us (I didn't see the point of attending with two adults when they had the Doc McStuffins characters!). I've read several reports with high praise for the steak at Mama Melrose's, so we may need to include it for my steak-loving husband. I'm quite sad about the pre-fixe change at Be Our Guest as that was one of my favorite meals on property. I may try it again (even though my beloved mussels are gone!
), but I may stick with lunch for the time being.
We never did the Disney Jr breakfast either, but I do enjoy the seasonal dine.
Yeah I'd probably stick to lunch for BoG from now on. We haven't been back since last Sept.
I love the positive reports of all the early morning and late-night park opportunities (paid and otherwise) and I would love to do such a thing at Hollywood Studios! I'm worried that since I won't be visiting until 2020 that HS extra hour events will be mobbed with the Galaxy's Edge enthusiasts. (Don't get me wrong, I'm interested in seeing Galaxy's Edge, but the pull for me would be TSL and Sunset Boulevard). I guess we'll see!
Maybe they will have separate GE and TSL after hours things. It only makes sense as you spend so much time lining up for the big rides that half your time is over! When we did DHS after Hours we rode Slinky dog 4 times and Toy Story twice. And that's all we did all night! Each time we lined up for SDD it was 20 minutes so it's not like there are no waits, there is still a wait just much shorter.
That's too bad that you had knee trouble on your trip! All the walking in Disney can create mobility problems for any of us and it's frustrating when you have things to do!
It was so annoying! I'm so glad that there is no repeat of that trip. (knocks on wood)
Have a wonderful time on your upcoming trip! Have a GREAT time with all the DISmeets, and also your time at Universal, your extra Disney time, and your cruise! I can't wait to hear all about it!
Thank you Jenny! For sure you have to try and join the next one!!
I love when that happens!
Now people are recognizing my sister and Steve!
Someone recognized my sister from when she posted in a Facebook Group for Disney, and said "You're Chunkyonkey's Sister! You two are famous!" LOL
First Liesa and now you, I want bread service.
Oh you and me both, we tried to get it yesterday at AKL but Sanaa was packed!
I can see that. I may not have wanted to get out of bed at all.
If we didn't have FoP FP I would have did that too.
You poor girl with that knee!! My Mom got a horrific blister on the middle of the bottom of her foot the first night of one trip. She kept wrapping and gauzing and sock changing the whole trip long, but refused to slow down or take it easy because of it. #becauseDisney
OUCH that sounds so painful! But yes, I refused to slow down!!
Bread service question--will they keep refilling your sauces if you find one you really love and need more of??
Yup they will!
Miss you Chunkylite!
Sorry about your knee
. My family
Earl of Sandwich, they do have awesome sandwiches!!!!
Thank you it's much better now!
And they do have delicious sandwiches!!
You're on your epic trip!! Just trying to get caught up on all your others!!!
Yup and now I'm back
You'll have to come on the next one Kathy!
