Happy New Year! I am finally getting caught up on the Dis after letting too much real life stuff interfere with my Dis time. We are getting Jack ready to do all his university applications and I am still wondering where the last 12 years went.
Happy New Year to you Susan!!!! I'm with ya on the real life stuff, though hopefully your school got a good amount of time off. I can't believe you are doing college applications already. We have a ways to go, but like you said its gonna be here before I know it.
While my three don't love the antics anymore (too busy being cool teenagers, lol) I know my niece will LOVE it here when we are at Disney this summer.
If she is anything like Casey she will indeed LOVE it. I have a feeling Whispering Canyon will become a must do for Casey every trip.
I think Bill had that same burger when we were there last. I am definitely planning on Sci-Fi again next summer as I know Clare will love it!
Be sure to get her a milkshake. Yum!!!!
I had the same wine flight on my first solo trip in 2016 and really enjoyed it. My fave was the Sauv Blanc. It's hard to find some of the South African wines here so I really enjoy having a chance to sample them at the AKL restaurants.
I thought I'd like the Sav Blanc best as those tend to be my favorite white, so the chardonay was a big surprise hit for me.
I LOVE Sanaa too! And I will be dining there on Friday (love that I could write that)! You have provided the wine flight and I will be trying-and confirmed that we should order the salad sampler. Of course the bread service is where. it's. at.
WOOHOO!!!!! Friday is like tomorrow!!!!!! Have an amazing trip and enjoy the Bread. I'll be eating it vicariously with you!
Do you recall what time you caught a bus back to AK? I'm always worried about trying to time this too close to park closing. We're expecting to have to Uber back to PoP after our meal at 5:00.
I don't remember exactly but if I recall our reservation was at 5:30 or 5:45 so it would have been well after 7 when we headed to AK and didn't have any trouble.
How was the pool with the construction going on? I loved that pool. It was awesome.
There was nothing going on at the pool so it was all good. They are doing construction on whatever the main house there is, but it didn't impact us at all. Except that the pool bar was closed
Happy New Year Kari!!! I hope 2018 is a great year for you and your family!!!!
Sanaa has quickly become a fav for us too!!!! The bread service is phenomenal and its got a good price tag too...
The wine flight looks amaaaaaazing!
Happy New Year to you Jenny!!!! I know 2018 will be good for you, because hello lots of Disney
Yay for guessing right on your dinner choice and double yay for the delicious bread service. Your reviews are what swayed Andi and I to try Sanaa and we loved it! Our table was so small there that if yours was anything like that I can see why the wine spilled lol!
You got it first Caroline. You clearly know me too well at this point.
So glad to hear that you and Andi loved it as much as us. Our table was definitely a bit small too. Between the bread and apps, I guess something was bound to give. Just sad it had to be my wine
Your review also reminded me we need to get back to Sanaa! We planned to eat there on our last trip as well, and didn't make it because we were so stuffed from Yak and Yeti earlier.
I can see how you'd be too stuffed after a visit to Yak n Yeti, but you should definitely get back sometime soon. So good!
Love that bread service at Sanaa! It is really filling - don't blame you for going with appetizers afterwards.
It is filling. I was contemplating just grabbing a place at the lounge and eating bread only, but it was full in there so I had to sacrifice and eat some apps too
I'm shocked that they served you a dish with peanuts (even though you are able to avoid it by picking around) as usually Disney is much better about issues!
I don't ever tell anyone that I'm allergic to peanuts and just avoid them, so it wasn't a big deal. We had just asked for it without them. And as I've learned for asking for things without mushrooms sometimes they just forget
Casey looks so cute dressed up for Sanaa
Thanks!!!
Thanks for the heads up! Headed right over there now!
Sorry about your Hokies. We have had some bad luck with DH's college team (also in the ACC, Go Pack ) on vacation . I went to a College with no real athletics other than the once in a decade or more NCAA basketball tournament. So I live through him & a few other family members that went to Big 10 schools. But glad to hear the wine got replaced. Must keep our priorities in order.
There must be something in the Disney air with all our ACC teams losing. VT was actually really bad when I got there, but they improved during my tenure and now are the team they are. So I didn't know I was going to a football powerhouse but now love that I did
