I'm sorry to hear your special birthday dinner was less than special; so sad when the restaurants we love disappoint us. I hope the next time is better!
I love white chocolate and started salivating when I saw your photo of the skull! What a neat assortment of HHN treats - it all looked delicious! It must have been hard to choose!
Loving your trip report, Carol, as always!
Is Minions a spinny motion simulator ride? (ala the deplorable pukey Mission Space at Epcot) If so, I cannot do that kind of ride and will be staying away!
Have you ever taken motion sickness meds??? I take Bonine when I'm at Universal... The virtual reality rides really get to me... And Forbidden Journey is a 2 pill ride for me!!! I can ride Hulk over and over again with no problems, but VR rides get me every time... Probably why we go to Disney so much... The rides over then are mild compared to Universal...
I'm sad your birthday dinner wasn't perfect, but happy your day ended on a high note!
I LOVE your trip reports!
I've just started reading again because we were on your side of the pond the last couple of weeks.
Please, as a Floridian, no plastic straws!!! If you DM me your address, I will mail you a box of Avocado Seed Straws. They have the same consistency as plastic but are biodegradable.
What is it people do with the coffee pots that make them so gross? I've never heard this and we use our hotel coffee pots! Oh no!
Love your memes. They always make me laugh!
All caught up again. Love that you had a wonderful birthday, I understand why you didn't bother with sending back the second wrong order at Ocean Prime. Better to just move on and get back to enjoying your evening
I didn't know Minions is now 2D. I don't think I'm a fan of this at all...but I'll give it a try and see. Is it the exact same show? I'm guessing it is but not understanding why they stopped the 3D, if the movie was made to be viewed that way?
We secured our rental car for our upcoming January trip, so I'm paying extra attention to all the offsite dining reviews. I know we will want to venture off property quite a bit. My husband prefers to get out into the community, even if it is touristy.
I am looking forward to all the impromptu (well not really) shows that pop up. I think that since Disney has cut back, they have lost a lot of the spontaneity with the lack of this type of live entertainment. Personally I like to take time to enjoy myself and not sprint around the park, so these shows are a perfect little treat.
So I just have to ask...why did you decide to avoid the new Big Fire restaurant? I was thinking of trying it since it's new, but not if it's poor quality or not a pleasant experience...
Loving the TR as always, Thank You for letting us share your adventures!View attachment 446853

There was a thread on the Disney side where people used them for heating hot dogs and oatmeal...... I do check the iron hasn’t been used as a grill for grilled cheese sandwiches.......and I’ve never used the ice bucket again!!!
Uh oh ... I've never heard of this until now! I've used coffee pots before!! Now I wonder if they'd been used for hot dogs! lol - hopefully that's the worst?!!?
Now, Carol - you must tell us - why not the ice bucket? I may be sad I've asked, but now I need to know!!
This reminded me of pics Tom gets of you... but, it’s really how I will be. LOLView attachment 446904
NOOO! Not the ice buckets!!
We were actually in Paris this trip but love the UK.
Have you tried Roccos Tacos yet? Rocco is actually my friend and the food is amazing (seafood mocajete, tacos, margaritas!) and the view over the massive lake is amazing and surprising the cool even in the summer!
Can't wait to start reading about your Christmas trip. We will actually be in Disney the 17-19th of November and December 1-4.
Tom is such a cutie pie and y'alls smiles are so infectious!
Sadly this would be our second not so good dining experience in 2 days
