Your meals at La Hacienda and Wolfgang Puck both sound delicious! Two places I need to get to!
Right?! Spoiler alert- none of us ate anything from a Food and Wine booth this trip. I'm hoping to do better in Nov!OMG.... That's kinda the entire reason for the festival and WS as a whole.
It was a great spot to relax and they also had samplers of the international Coke products tooOh! I didn't know about this.
I've added it to my list of must try's.
I highly recommend it. It was our best meal of the tripGood! I've had WP on my radar for a loooong time. Need to get there some day!
Oh, it gets worse. Stay tunedMaybe it's you! You're bad luck to printers!!
It was a crazy start to the trip! I'm glad you made it on yours as well!Ugh, I can imagine what you were going through. I probably would have cried when they said it might be cancelled. Our trip got off to a similar, interesting start thanks to Imelda just a few weeks later - we ended up leaving a day earlier than planned too. It's so hard when you plan for so long and then the weather decides to mess up your plans.
So it's not dairy milk, I think they said rice milk? And then fruit flavors mixed up like a slushie. So with the alcohol, more like a daiquiriI'm so curious about this blue and green milk... hard to picture milk and rum! Is it sweet? Is it actually milk?
I'm glad we tried it anyway! It's vacation and you have to try something newAww, there are so many amazing options in the WS, and Tangeriene Café is one of my favorites! Glad you could convince her to at least give it a try.
Definitely give both a try! I was so impressedYour meals at La Hacienda and Wolfgang Puck both sound delicious! Two places I need to get to!
The wait times were amazing. The only really bad part of this trip was the extreme heat and humidity behind the hurricane. Even the locals and CM's we talked to said it was much worse than normalJoining in! Wow some of those wait times you had were really low!
Seems like a great trip so far even if a bit hot!!
This is... both tragic and sad.Right?! Spoiler alert- none of us ate anything from a Food and Wine booth this trip. I'm hoping to do better in Nov!
Okay!It was a great spot to relax and they also had samplers of the international Coke products too
Need to move this up the list.I highly recommend it. It was our best meal of the trip
uh, ohOh, it gets worse. Stay tuned
Yikes... rough morning at EPCOT. Sorry you didn't get to experience more of WS.By 12:30 we were heading back to the hotel since no one wanted to do anything. Transportation was super slow and it took an hour to get back.
Oh no... at least those of you who actually made it got to enjoy a nice dinner!I think we sat up there for over an hour and then walked to Wolfgang Puck’s to wait for our Aunt and Uncle. They could have seated us early but they hadn’t arrived yet, so we waited. And waited. And I texted them. And finally I called them and left a message. 15 minutes after our ADR time, we gave up and took a table. It wasn’t very busy and the staff was very accommodating! About 10 minutes later, my Uncle called because they had completely forgotten and were 45 minutes away
That's a great way to watch the fireworks. Even if you had to deal with the broken printers first.At least the crowds were still low and we literally just had to walk out the door to have decent spots. We each were able to stand about 2 feet apart from each other and not have anyone else around us, it was perfect!
I think we all needed a break anyway. The heat was really wearing us all down.Yikes... rough morning at EPCOT. Sorry you didn't get to experience more of WS.
Another thing on this trip that turned out better than expected, after first appearing to be a disaster!That's a great way to watch the fireworks. Even if you had to deal with the broken printers first.
We knew Space Mountain was a must do so we headed inside right away. This was amazing! We all really enjoyed the ride in the dark and said we should come back after grabbing more candy.
We each grabbed a Dole Whip (well, I did, they got the raspberry swirl ones)
Just breathe. You'll be okay.12 days until we leave and I've literally done nothing to prep (and for an overly logical over planner, it's stressing me out!)
Good compromise. I'll take the shade too. Skootch over.DF wanted to ride Dumbo but the sun was brutal so DC and I sat in the shade and watched the marching band while she rode.
That's the whole reason I will eat there. The food's not that great... but what is (apart from dining in a castle) is that your food magically appears after you walk in.I asked them if we should pre-order our lunch but neither of them wanted to.
they let us head right up the bridge- where we stood in the direct sun for another 25 minutes.
Yep. Definitely should've pre-ordered.We finally made it inside and 15 minutes after that, we got to order.
Whoa! That is busy! No wonder you had such long waits!We finally had to pick a room (ballroom) and just wait for someone to leave.
well... poop!Pirates went down just as it opened up
you're just not having any luck today.The line was all the way out of the queue so we tried to mobile order, but mobile order was down.
So... can you enjoy the view? Or is looking even from inside the room difficult?I finally got up the nerve to take pictures off the balcony! Heights are NOT my friend!
Bye! we're going on rides. See ya!DC thought we should skip the parks that morning and just sleep in. We told her that was fine if she wanted to do that but we were going to pack and get in a few rides the next morning.
The front desk fixed it right away and went to print our paperwork...and nothing happened. The printer was broken (#2).
So.... not an asparagus fan? Hmmm???I subbed cauliflower for the asparagus (yuck)
Good! I think I need to put this place on my list.If we hadn't had such a great meal at Wolfgang Puck's the night before, this would have been the best meal of the trip.
With my neck and back... I don't dare ride it in the dark.We knew Space Mountain was a must do so we headed inside right away. This was amazing! We all really enjoyed the ride in the dark
Oh?We went through the Monsters Inc trail next and watched a few minutes of the audience interaction. It was cute and we kept moving.
Yuss!!!!there was nobody at Aloha Isle!
They're fun!Then we got on Pirates and had really good interactions with the live actors.
I've been on a boat where no one said anything.Everyone in our boat got really in to it too, which made it even more fun.
Love them.We did Haunted Mansion next and enjoyed the actors outside,
Good! I think everyone by now has seen fireworks photos.I didn't bother taking fireworks pictures and I just enjoyed the show!
I love that parade! And I'm not a parade kinda guy!The parade was a lot of fun and I’m glad we stopped to watch.
I was really worried that I'd finish my 4th WDW trip without ever having one!I'm glad you finally got your Dole Whip!
I started packing this weekend and now I feel betterJust breathe. You'll be okay.
I'm pretty sure this was our longest waits of the trip!Whoa! That is busy! No wonder you had such long waits!
Inside the room was fine and I did watch the Electric Water Parade from the balcony but I had to sit on the floor with my back against the door. It drives me crazy to be like that but I KNOW I will fall over the edge otherwise!So... can you enjoy the view? Or is looking even from inside the room difficult?
There are very few foods I hate- asparagus, fish, coconut, and asparagus LOLSo.... not an asparagus fan? Hmmm???
Completely understandable. It's not one I can do over and over eitherWith my neck and back... I don't dare ride it in the dark.
I'd probably be fine... but I don't want to risk it.
Crap. I'm old.
It was similar to the normal show but ongoing improv with the audience the whole timeOh?
I'd heard there was something for the party but never got over there. What was it?
The would be...awkwardI've been on a boat where no one said anything.
It was really good! I'm not a parade person eitherI love that parade! And I'm not a parade kinda guy!
The Wave was great, I'm going to take my dad there on our upcoming trip too. Much better than most of the table service in the Magic Kingdom. I'm really happy we stopped to watch the parade!The Wave for dinner looks good. I’m glad you liked it
I'm glad you enjoyed the party and the parade! I love that parade, it is my all time favorite!!
Good! See? Breathing works!I started packing this weekend and now I feel better

Ah!It was similar to the normal show but ongoing improv with the audience the whole time
I suspect, since I was the only one laughing, that perhaps I was the only English speaking person on the boat?The would be...awkward
Thanks for the tip!The Wave was great, I'm going to take my dad there on our upcoming trip too. Much better than most of the table service in the Magic Kingdom.
Always so frustrating to get in there!We walked over to BOG about 15 minutes before our ADR and they let us head right up the bridge- where we stood in the direct sun for another 25 minutes. We finally made it inside and 15 minutes after that, we got to order. This place is crazy!
I'm sorry it didn't impress you. I feel like this was one of the best lunch options in any of the parks when it first opened, but it seems like the quality has gone down over time. We didn't even care to go there on our last trip.None of our meals were bad but we weren’t really impressed either. I’m glad we got to see the decor but I’m in no rush to ever go back.
Frustrating, but I guess it worked out well.We grabbed a FP for Pirates while we were having lunch and we walked over that way planning to do Jungle Cruise first. Well, the standby time jumped to 50 minutes just as we were arriving so we enjoyed a shady spot until our FP time, but Pirates went down just as it opened up, so we took our multi experience FP and went back to Jungle Cruise!
I've heard a lot of good things about the Wave recentlyIf we hadn't had such a great meal at Wolfgang Puck's the night before, this would have been the best meal of the trip.
Looks like you guys had a nice time at the party! You got quite a bit accomplished.The final stage show was starting right after it and DC and DF are big Hocus Pocus fans so we passed up our last chance for Space and went to watch. The party was over then and we walked back to the hotel. We were still planning for early morning magic at MK the next day so we needed to get a little sleep!
I don't regret going and I'd go back again if they worked out some of the kinks.I'm sorry it didn't impress you. I feel like this was one of the best lunch options in any of the parks when it first opened, but it seems like the quality has gone down over time. We didn't even care to go there on our last trip.
At least they were close together!Frustrating, but I guess it worked out well.
The party was great! I'm glad I splurged on the tickets and we did a lot more than we thought we'd get to.Looks like you guys had a nice time at the party! You got quite a bit accomplished.
Darn! That's too bad!I guess I'll have to go back!
I feel your pain.Don't people realize I've got writing to do?!
Anyway, I got bit by a cat at work this week and luckily it didn't get infected but my right hand is a bruised mess so typing is a challenge.
You're kidding!!!We checked in, they weighed our bags, and then went to print the tags. Well, you may have guessed it, but those tags wouldn’t print (#3).
It's a sack of diabetes!he said he weighed a backpack a few days earlier that was 34 lbs- all of it candy!
mmmm… yum!We did walk over to Gaston’s and got water and a cinnamon roll each with our snack credits. These were really delicious!
Of course!We went on Haunted Mansion and then Pirates, where we got drenched! It’s because all our other clothes were packed
Not the best last meal.The waffles were pretty hard and DC didn’t like her bowl either.
I find that it's not as bad as it was in past years.We headed to the Magical Express and then the nightmare that is TSA at MCO.
Thanks for the recommendation!DF and I watched the Secret Life of Pets 2, which was really funny!
They headed home and I waited, and waited, and waited, while freezing outside in shorts and a tank top.
Darn! That's too bad!
What kind of cat bit you hard enough to cause bruising? A mountain lion?
Just kidding, hope you recover quickly and good luck with your running!
