Rob N Lyn Trip Report

No, we started going when they took DDP

Some more Pics!!!

I found it to be a little to much . We ate 2 meals a day only did 1 Breakfast . A lot of 2 point meals. We skipped a few or took dessert back to the room. But i still found DDP a plus for us . I love the option of getting whatever we like and not to worry about price as it is already paid for

Ohhhh this NH winter just keeps on rolling!! We are going to have snow till may!!

Day 2 ..

We Slept in till 9 am ( Love Vacation ). We Called bell service to get our bags for transfer to the Boardwalk. They were very prompt and there within minutes! We were surprised how easily the transfer process is between resorts. We took our first boatride to MK and then jumped on a bus to Boardwalk. We were checked in and in our deluxe studio (pool view) by noon. It's just a short walk from Boardwalk to Epcot. We had an ADR at Rose & Crown for 1 pm. Our first time eating here and we enjoyed it very much !!

We took our time in Canada & England taking pictures of all the beautiful flowers and Shrub Sculptures!! Our FP was for Fast Track and Soarin' (our must ride). We then started our Journey across the world. Lyn did shopping at Guerlaine for her favorite Perfume/lotion on our way to Morocco to find the hidden Mickey We missed it last time we were there . Then we worked our way to Germany and grabbed a beer or 2 !! Lyn was able to sneak in the Christmas shop, while i was in line for the beer. (I love that they ship directly to our room which saves me from carrying around alot of bags!!) Lyn was able to score 4 beautiful hand blown glass Christmas ornaments for the tree ! As always, lots of stops where we could do one of our favorite pastimes while in Disney, people watching !!! We found our way to Norway and went on the ride Maelstrom and from there it was time for our ADR at La Hacienda and was seated at a wonderful window seat to watch Illuminations!

Drinks
Rob Orange Mango Fire Margarita

Lyn Taquiza

Diner

Rob We shared Parrillada (serves 2 people)
Lyn Mixed grill offering flank steak, chicken al pastor, chorizo and vegetables, served with beans and fresh salsa

We both agreed that there were more cons than pros with this dish. Chicken was very good, the steak was tough and we didn't care for the chorizo. Their salsa and chips were awesome! Over all, I think we made a bad choice here for our main course and would love to try another meal here, as for Illuminatons, the view here was great!!

Dessert

Rob Empanada de Manzana
Lyn Empanada de Manzana Puff pastry filled with sauteed caramel apples and vanilla bean ice cream with kahlua sauce
We Loved this dessert

Then came the long walk back to Boardwalk. It was a beautiful moonlit night as we headed back thru Epcot to Boardwalk, and were surprised that we were almost totally alone in the park. What a great night we had just wish everyone could find the Joy we do in Disney World !! because they don't know what they are missing:)

glad i was able to bring a smile

We Met 3 couples from NH ..Lyn wore Her NH shirt on Epcot day

Thanks...We are looking forward to trying it again !!

Day 3

Today was the day we planned to relax ..stayed around the Hotel and Board Walk . ADR was for Breakfast @ Cape May for 10 AM .Love the walk From Board Walk to Beach Club either way. Beach Club is one of our Favorite Hotel so we did a little site seeing after Breakfast. We made our way back to Board Walk where we took a dip in the pool .. 3 other people were in the pool I LOVED IT !!! we had the pool to ourselves and heard the bar calling us over ...With the Disney Magic in full gear, two Category 5 drinks Magically appeared ( Must be the Pixie Dust), cause after those 2 disappeared 2 more Appeared . Disney Magic at its best . By the time we finished the second drink ,we needed to get a couple hour nap!! (Best 2 hour nap EVER !!! ) All refreshed, we then headed out to the boardwalk to grab a coffee . We Had ADR for the Yachtsman Club at 6:30. The best steak i had all trip was here

Was such an awesome meal ! Its a must restaurant, when we go to Disney. We then ended the night at the Board Walk . Illuminations was almost ready to start and we found a bench .We grabbed a couple beers .This little old man came up with his funnel cake and asked if he could join us on the bench.Of course we said only if he would share his funnel cake !! he then called his wife over who was way down by the Jellyroll. we had an great time talking to them for about an hour. We said our good byes was on our way to the room . Another wonderful day in Disney

the best !!

Day 4

Another morning of sleeping in . We got motivated around 8am, grabbed our mugs and headed down to the BW for coffee and then caught a bus for Animal Kingdom. We found that the bus system was in our favor this trip; always seemed to catch a bus right away !! We had ADR's for noon at Rainforest Cafe, so had time to catch a show. We've never seen It's tough to be a Bug and were able to immediately catch the show. We were surprisingly entertained with this 3-D show and loved that it was in the Tree of Life. Did a little shopping and then headed to Rainforest Cafe for lunch.

Appetizers
We both had the Rainforest pita quesadilla's - they were delicious and could have been our meal !

Lunch
Rob had Taste of the Island (coconut shrimp, blackened tilapia topped with mango salsa with scallops and shrimp). Was one of my best meals !!

Lyn had Mojo Bones (BBQ ribs) they were very tasty but Lyn was still full from the appetizer !

They had a GREAT selection of desserts, but we both had to skip them this meal. The menu here is huge with lots of options for everyone!

After lunch, we headed for the Safari! We had a FP for later that day but when we got there, there was only a 10-minute wait.
This is also a must when we go to AK - we always learn or see something new.

After the Safari, it looked like it was about to rain, so we headed back to the BW. We relaxed in our room for a couple hours before heading out for our ADR at Narcoossee's. We decided to take a taxi because it was raining pretty hard (our only rainy day).

Our ADR was for 7:30 but we got there a little early. We planned on watching Wishes from a table at a window and took the option of waiting for one to open, so we headed to the bar for a drink. We were entertained by Rick the bartender, who took us down memory lane talking about the 80's Atari & Nintendo games at Disney Quest in Downtown Disney. We'll definitely try this on our next visit. Sounds like alot of fun! We were then escorted to our table with a great view for dinner and Wishes. We had about 1/2 hour before the Wishes show which was perfect.

Appetizer
Rob - BBQ shrimp and grits - so good
Lyn - Winter Orchard Salad - she said best salad ever !

Dinner
We both had the lobster & filet mignon w/roasted potato's - we ordered the butter poached lobster (which was so tender) and our filets were cooked perfect ! This is also a must for us and would highly recommend this meal on the DDP !!

During dinner, the lights dimmed, and music was piped in for our showing of Wishes. Spectacular !! Great View, Great Food and wonderful atmosphere.

After dinner, since it was still raining, we headed back to BW by taxi to end another magical day !

Day 5

We were up early today, eager to get the day started. We checked out of Boardwalk and made our way to Magic Kingdom. We went on the Disney Key to the Kingdom tour. We were really looking forward to this. Was something we always wanted to do !! Our Guide, Debbie, was Brilliant. You felt as if Walt was a family member. We learned a lot about Roy Disney and the history of Disney. We went on 3 rides: Jungle cruise, Haunted Mansion & Pirates of the Carribean, and learned alot about hidden Mickey's, and other interesting facts. Loved going back stage to see where the floats were stored and also getting a glimpse of the new floats. Dinner was at Columbia Harbor House. We both had the fish and fries was good . We always heard about the "underground" at Disney. Well they call it the utilidoors and it's buzzing with activity. Vendors, cast members, vehicles everywhere, all preparing for the Kingdom. We looked at pictures taken of Walt & Roy in the early years while planning for Disney World, followed by a short movie . The biggest thing I learned on this tour was when visiting the parks, you need to slow down and pay attention to the details. Its all around you, just need to take the time to find it !! Only one thing i would change on this tour is the length - 5 1/2 hours is a little much, alot of standing and walking; however I would HIGHLY recommend this tour. A little exhausted, we then headed to our next resort, Kadani to check in. No Problem checking in except we got a room at least a mile from lobby . We booked a deluxe studio savanna view . The room was had a spectacular view off our balcony of giraffes and a few other animals. Called for our luggage and was there in 10 minutes. We have ADR for California Grille at 7:15 for dinner and Wishes. We were escorted up to the 15th floor, where we patiently waited at the bar for a table at a window for the viewing of Wishes. We were seated within 20 minutes with a beautiful view. Our first time eating here (wont be our last ).

We Loved this place and look forward to a return on our next trip . The viewing of Wishes was great, if you havent done this, your missing out !

After a very exhausting day of touring, check in and eating, we decided a quick ride back in a taxi was in order. Needless to say, it didn't take long to fall asleep. Day 5 was over and we realized only a couple more days of magic left (

They need to make the tour a little shorter !

We did the 8:30 tour Allie
