OMG!! the best trip!!! We ate at Cali Grill and there was a proposal out on the balcony while we were there watching the fireworks, and then dinners at Morimoto's (where Geraldo Rivera sat down at the table next to us!!??) and then The Boathouse and finally Homecomin - my biggest issue was that DH had given me his cold so my taste buds were "off" a little and I was so stuffy the night we were at Homecomin' I couldnt taste anything..
Hi there! I think you wrote this on day 2 of our latest trip and I haven't been on here since then! Work is absolutely insane but I'm finally finding some me time to get back into my favorite pastime. We did get to CG again and it disappointed us a bit. More to come on that though. Hopefully I can get my next report started next weekend sometime.
I would have died if Geraldo Rivera sat down next to me! Well heck anyone famous.
I've been on trips before when you can't taste anything and that is just the worst. Poor Jason had that happen in Vegas one time and he still hasn't let me forget that he couldn't taste anything.
That is the best news ever!!!!! How exciting for you. If we were ever to buy DVC this is exactly where I'd want to be!!!!!
Oh I totally agree, true tipsy notes must just happen, they cannot be planned in advance. On a totally separate note, given your love of carciofi and pizza (with charred crust of course), I had to note that I am currently in Rome on business (plus pleasure, because....Rome!), and have managed to have some form of artichoke in almost all of my dinners. Though I only know you from reading a few of your trip reports (which are my favs), it's funny that I thought of you when having this food. Funny how these boards can make these random connections! Have you been to Rome? Hope you are enjoying an amazing Disney trip, with your yummy carciofi appetizers and pizza with a perfectly charred crust!
Did I miss the invitation to Rome in my inbox?
Seriously though that sounds absolutely amazing. I hope your trip was absolutely divine. Anything in Italy I'm sure it good, but artichokes for dinner every night would be right up my alley. You'll be shocked to know we just got back from the grocery store and I picked up some artichokes to make later this weekend.
I've never been to Rome but I"m sure we'll get there sometime. My Grandma was from Sicily so I must definitely have to get there at some point.
We did get back to Via Napoli for our latest trip and you'll be shocked to know there was actually no carciofi on my pizza this time around!
We stayed at the Poly (maybe once in a lifetime!) and the kids were so thrilled to use the pool and out of 10 days they got in *3* times! One of those being at 11pm We had a whole resort day and only got to use it for an hour!
Here I thought it was just us a Beach Club having issues. We've never had this issue before in August so I'm thinking they have tightened up their policies. We are going back in August again this year and staying at a moderate resort so we're not too upset if we don't get much pool time in.
And this pic of Casey is adorable and I thought her hair braid was a mozzarella string in her hair!
Good thing she didn't eat her hair.
You always write the BEST reports, I get a little sad when they are over!
You will enjoy SOG. The rooms are YUUUGE, you can see the MK fireworks from the pool, Its quiet, the prices are fantastic for food & drink, a short walk to the Poly, and the transportation is both reliably consistent, and rarely crowded.
Me too! Good news is I will hopefully get our next one started in the next week or so.
We did enjoy Shades of Green. Of course the price was amazing, but the rooms were beyond anything we've had at Disney size wise. Unfortunately Jason didn't really care for it though. He didn't like the transportation options and would get annoyed at the changing security policies and long back ups at the gate. Of course I'm used to this from work, but he was not. Headed back to a Disney resort next trip, but I'm sure we'll do shades again another time.
Thanks for mentioning Tables in Wonderland. It is so nice to get a discount on grown-up Disney beverages, and food. Plus, you can order whatever you want. Looks like a great trip report.
You got that right. I'm sure our drinks alone more than make-up for the cost of the card. We usually get 3 trips off of one and its well worth it.
