the adventures of a brown eyed girl and her brown eyed dog
Still here at Walt Disney World – and, as I expected, I’m too busy and tired to write much. The non-existent “free wi-fi” at my resort isn’t helping either. I’m not dragging my iPad to the parks, so without wi-fi, there’s no way to get the pictures on here to share with you.
Here’s one for ya – lunch today at the Sci Fi diner at Hollywood Studios. The All American Picnic Burger: a burger topped with a hot dog topped with sauerkraut, all of the fixins and a pickle spear…
We are on our way! Up in the air somewhere over the East Coast. Got off to a bit of a late start, probably because of the weather. The plane was a few minutes late getting in and after we boarded, they announced that we would have to wait at least an hour before we could take off because our route was closed… Luckily, they found another route that took us out over the ocean and we were only about 30 minutes late getting off the ground.
I have to say in the MANY times I’ve flown Southwest, this is only the second time we’ve been significantly late. And 30 minutes isn’t so late, so it’s tough to complain.
One thing I am going to complain about is the size of these seats! Got one of the really old planes with the flat wings (not the cute Southwest fins) and I barely, just barely fit with 3 of us in the row. And I’m not that big.
Little bit of turbulence but not so bad. I ordered a Bloody Mary just in case. It was a little lite on the tomato juice, but it helped me sleep for a while.
I’m sure I will have to power down shortly, so I’ll see you when we land!
On the bus!!!
Ok – let’s see if I can keep a live trip report going!
Heading off to Walt Disney World for the weekend. Someone posted one of those silly pictures to my Facebook a couple weeks ago that said “I see you’re feeling down lately. Maybe you should book your next trip to Disney and see if that cheers you up”
Word.
This last minute getaway is partially in response to a very sad, rough couple of weeks. And while it’s certainly not a cure – I sure am feeling better.
Dropped the Woodster off at “camp” this morning (I’m sure he’ll post about that!), sailed through security at the airport and here I am waiting at the gate in my big red Minnie crocs.
See ya real soon!
One of the great things about Walt Disney World (& Disneyland) is the food. There’s always something new to try and something to look forward to on your next visit. There’s a whole community of Disney foodies out there (Hi!), but the food is still probably the least photographed part of Disney.
I’ve taken a picture of just about everything we’ve eaten at Disney in the past 6 years or so. We, being my Disney buddy, the lovely Lady – aka my mom… & me. (and various other friends and family) I love looking at the food pics others post, as well as remembering my own experience. I hope you all enjoy this segment, and if you find it useful in your Disney planning – even better!
Let’s randomly start with the Best Friends Breakfast at ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, featuring Lilo & Stitch. This is a wildly popular character breakfast – served family style.
As you pass the imposing Tiki, your host grabs a basket of sweet breads and rolls (seen above) and escorts you to into the bustling dining room full of kids, characters and fun!
When we were seated, the server informed us that they were out of the signature fruit bread (even though there were 2 hours left for breakfast). The Lady was very disappointed, and, in true Disney fashion, a couple pieces magically appeared to turn her frown upside down. 🙁 – 🙂
And then comes Lilo’s special juice blend. Mango and Guava, I think…
Chances are, a character or two will stop by the table before the really good stuff comes – a skillet full of goodness. Mickey Waffles, sweet sausages, bacon, eggs and more!
The food keeps coming, as long as you can keep eating. And if you clean your plate…
You just might get a surprise…
