I'm glad you loved Morimotos!
It sounds like a great trip so far!

For what it's worth, Disney vow renewals are way less expensive (relatively speaking) than I anticipated!! We were really surprised by what was included in the cost of ours when we did our 10 year renewal in 2016surely that would cost less than a Disney vow renewal just to try the cake
For our reference they change the mural every 2 days as that's when it fills up. Still cool though!
This Bloody Mary from the Outpost with Pork Belly was the BEST thing I had to drink the whole trip! I'm too lazy to find the description but you all can look it up under the festival menus Steve got one, I took a sip, and immediately got back in line for my own.
But I it,
"I lotion your wife Steve, how 'bout dat!"
I'm jumping to dinner that night which was at one of our old favorites Citricos. Many of you know we also have a favorite server there who remembers us time after time and this time was no different; we asked to be seated in Rony's section. This meant a wait of about 20 minutes past our reservation time but it was well worth it because when Rony saw us we each got a huge hug and our complimentary champagne, followed by top notch service. He's an awesome guy; the hostess told us we were the 4th party to request him that night which really speaks to how wonderful he is One difference was that this time I asked for a picture:
This is the coolest thing ever!
YUM!

"Let me massage your hand" (emphasis on the "MA in his Norge accent )
I want a hand massage by a hot Norwegian
Rony is the best and so is Citricos!
Great pic glad you guys got to meet. Melinda I love your ears!
lol, honestly I knew next to nothing about the festival until we planned to go this year! Last year I knew about hte mural but never saw it, knew about the food booths and read quite a bit about them, and heard about the living statues and Animation Academy after the fact. I made it a point to figure out what I wanted to see this year mainly for research purposesAwesome! Another thing I didn't know about... I'll just go back to under my rock now
I am dying to go back! Not going in May and at this point I don't think I'll be going to WDW again until Oct., and since that's a work trip I don't really have a say in where I eat I know we'll be eating outside the parks though so one can hope! The kids would like it though so it may make our list for the NYE (fingers crossed, fingers crossed) trip.I'm glad you loved Morimotos!
It was really nice despite the chilly tempsIt sounds like a great trip so far!
Sorry you didn't have warmer weather but I hope you guys had a good trip! I need to get over and start your new TR.It was a chilly Festival of Arts for us as well
You should get one!I do too! I'd like a bottle of it someday.
It really is neat to walk in and have him great us with hugs And be able to chat about his family, kids, and have him ask about our kids. Because Disney + homeThat's so fantastic that you have a cool history with this server and that he knows you somewhat
Same here!!!!Awww!!! I can't wait to meet you both!
I just wish they'd have this year round, I think I may be on a quest for an equally delicious Disney Bloody Mary on my May trip!YUM!
I couldn't agree more! Happy to hear more love for CitricosRony is the best and so is Citricos!
This is just one, but Quake City and the Hard Times Cafe are both from the movie. This is all probably falling on deaf ears so seriously, your homework is to watch the movie so in my next update when I post more pictures related to it, you all can do this in understanding!
Hey, that's not fountain stage entertainment! That's pre-mixed French plastic martini cup entertainment!
#RIP AnimationAcademy
the commercials suck and that's the only reason I watch the Super Bowl.
She's sitting up on her own and starting to walk when you hold her hands, loving every minute we spend with her
heaven on a plate
You got that right! I even love football and Maroon 5 and last night was just tortuous.So yes, while everyone else is watching the Super Bowl, I'm finally updating! Finally saw a good commercial, the Mr. Peanut one with Charlie Sheen. Otherwise the commercials suck and that's the only reason I watch the Super Bowl.
So is this officially a December within January within September update Awesome news on New Years Eve. Those pesky boys aside celebrating in the world sounds amazing!Before I get back to my Jan. report within my Sept. report, I want to report that we're booked at WL for New Years! This will be my first NYE in Disney since 1986 lol, IF we actually go. I say actually go because if Ricky is back to playing basketball - and he better be or I'll be in a straight jacket - he won't go.
Be still my heart she is beyond precious!
You should have requested a scaffolding room just so Steve could go all jungle gym on itI forgot to mention this, but we had checked out of ASMovies and in to Beach Club the day before While we weren't lucky enough to have scaffolding outside our balcony to play on a la @kastoney, our view wasn't all that bad:
That seems awful late to start serving hot breakfast. Given that Disney full on expects you to "rope drop" at 8am some days least they could do is give you some hot breakfast first.I was in the mood for more Mickey waffles but alas, the hot items aren't available until 7am and it was 6:45; I couldn't wait so chose a cinnamon roll instead.
Heaven on a plate. Sunshine in a Glass. What would the universe in a bowl be?
I know this isn't a dining report but looking at these never gets old: the Pulled Pork Nachos or in other words, heaven on a plate. Not to be confused with the Grey Goose Slush over in Epcot, A.K.A Sunshine in a Glass I know how fantastic these are, but every time I have them again that first bite is still better than..........almost anything else
Wouldn't that be pre-mixed sunshine in plastic martini?
Hey, that's not fountain stage entertainment! That's pre-mixed French plastic martini cup entertainment!
Ugh, I absolutely hated this. My parents made me do this once and to say I hate art is an understatement. Seriously my stick people look funny so this was pure torture on my artless soul.It was then time for us to get in line for the part of the festival I'd been most excited for, the Animation Academy! I know many of you remember when it was in HS
#RIPSAnimationAcademy
Awwww, she is just so precious!!!!!! My sister is having her third child - a girl! - this June, and I can hardly wait to hold another baby!!! Baby cuddles are the best, aren't they?
What?! That @kastoney gets all the fun, doesn't she? Leave some for the rest of us, Kari!While we weren't lucky enough to have scaffolding outside our balcony to play on a la @kastoney, our view wasn't all that bad:
YUM YUM YUM. And yet... I've never actually tried them It's on my to-do list though
YES! I loved this so much!Animation Academy! I know many of you remember when it was in HS
quickie-quickie's are always better when they're adult-only aren't they?
Next it was off to something else I reserved once we knew we were flying in early:
I was finally doing an After Hours! This will come as no surprise to you, but I booked this mainly for TOT. You are allowed in to the park at 7 with your DAH
I was happy with my 5 TOT rides and 2 SDD; we could have done more SDD but really I preferred to continue with TOT than wait 15-20 minutes after 15-20 minutes. I do like slinky and so does Steve, but we weren't feeling the waits.
For our reference they change the mural every 2 days as that's when it fills up.
"I lotion your wife Steve, how 'bout dat!"
Melinda took a really good picture of us that I do have but can't seem to download to my computer for some reason, so here's a grainy blown up one I do have:

I say actually go because if Ricky is back to playing basketball - and he better be or I'll be in a straight jacket - he won't go. And you all know how cooperative Chris is when it comes to vacation, so we'd have to convince hi to go! Not sure if my mom will be here or at my sisters in Ga. which means she may or may not be able to watch the boys, Ricky would be fine with friends and even alone for a night. So it's kind of up in the air but I'm extremely hopeful it'll be a go So right now we'll be in a courtyard view bunkbed room from the 28th through the 1st, just another quick trip but given how crowded it'll be I think that's all Steve will be able to take!

If you aren't familiar with it, find it and watch it! Don Knotts and Tim Conway at their best. Anyway, there are lots of nods to the Apple Dumpling Gang on BTMMR:
the Animation Academy! I know many of you remember when it was in HS

and we loved it. We used to do it multiple times each trip.
I only got into watching football over the last couple years, but geez what a Superbore! The game was carp and the commercials were pretty dull too. I remember the Mr. Peanut one and thought it was OK. I also liked the Harrison Ford one where his dog orders all the stuff from Amazon. But not much besides that.So yes, while everyone else is watching the Super Bowl, I'm finally updating! Finally saw a good commercial, the Mr. Peanut one with Charlie Sheen. Otherwise the commercials suck and that's the only reason I watch the Super Bowl.
I loved Apple Dumpling Gang! But I had not idea it was part of BTMRR. I can't remember that much about the movie now and never would have known Quake City and Hard Times Cafe. So glad you mentioned it!Do any of you remember the movie "The Apple Dumpling Gang"? This was my 100% favorite movie when I was a kid, I watched it over and over and they used to show it at my catholic elementary school like every other month. If you aren't familiar with it, find it and watch it! Don Knotts and Tim Conway at their best. Anyway, there are lots of nods to the Apple Dumpling Gang on BTMMR:
I'm happy that I can agree with this from personal experience nowthe Grey Goose Slush over in Epcot, A.K.A Sunshine in a Glass
I remember it and wish it was still there. I sadly only went inside once. But I still have the Stitch I drew.t was then time for us to get in line for the part of the festival I'd been most excited for, the Animation Academy! I know many of you remember when it was in HS

Ah, now there's a blast from the past! I have to admit liking Witch Mountain more but that was mostly because of my crush on TiaAlmost as good as Escape to Witch Mountain.
Both of these are calling my name!!!I know this isn't a dining report but looking at these never gets old: the Pulled Pork Nachos or in other words, heaven on a plate. Not to be confused with the Grey Goose Slush over in Epcot, A.K.A Sunshine in a Glass I know how fantastic these are, but every time I have them again that first bite is still better than..........almost anything else
I loved Escape From Witch Mountain too! Not so much the remake a few yeas ago though, simply because I don't like when classics are re-madeI DO remember that movie and loved it as a kid as well. Almost as good as Escape to Witch Mountain.
He probably would! I hadn't heard great things about it previously, but there were a number of activities and such that sounded cool so I really wanted to experience it. And other than the food I thought it was great! Different things than the other festivals. And I'm not an "art" person so someone who is would get lots more out of it! Start picking your January (or Feb.) dates for next year lolOk you are really making me want to check out this Festival now. I think my art-loving oldest son would love it, and so NOW I'm thinking I may need to plan a trip for us for next January!
You should watch it again And yes, The Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights I wish they'd bring those old episodes back for the younger generations to see.Ah the Apple Dumplin' Gang was the very first movie I think I saw at the Drive-Thru theater with my parents, and I think we watched it again as adults but I definitely don't remember it. However I'm also with @Steppesister that Escape to Witch Mountain was a bigger favorite for me as a kid. Ah...those evenings watching Walt introduce Disney movies for us!
It seems nobody outside of New Englanders wanted to see them again.I didn't even watch. I couldn't fathom seeing Tom Brady and crew win again.
Me too!!! Thank you so much for checking and checking and then booking that for us I'm so busy always planning everyone else's trips I get to mine last, I need to seriously think about FP's! Although with the tour being planned it's helped get me startedI am soooooo excited about our tour...
I get so excited when she's coming over, I stand in front of the living room window waiting and pacing back and forth lol. If I were a dog I'd be on the couch with my 2 pays up on the back, tail wagging like crazy when the car pulled up!Aww your granddaughter is such a sweetheart!! Love those pics!
Both made the day great! We did have one snafu later which was kinda my fault? Maybe? Maybe not lol? But it didn't ruin the magic of pulled pork nachos and GG slushiesPulled pork deliciousness and plastic martini glass fun sounds like a delightful day to me!!
