Aww man, it sucks that your meal sucked! Kind of ruins the excitement of making ADRs for new restaurants too.
I know!! I always want to try the new restaurants but then you have a disappointing experience like this and it makes you want to stick to the "old faithfuls."
I'm loving your trip report! I looooove the UK pavilion--I always buy things from there! Last year I got the most adorable hand painted wallet and other years it's been a Princess of Wales tartan scarf, the most adorable tea mug evah! and etc. LOOOVE the UK pavilion (I said that already, huh?) AND you are 110% correct about the Rose and Crown (me and DH's favorite) and the fish and chips---I dream about them! I refuse to order them anywhere else--it would only lead to disappointment!
Thank you so much for reading along with me! I'm so happy you're having fun!
The UK is one of my favorites. I love to look at all of the amazing dragon statues I will never own! They're so pretty! I usually just buy some tea for my mom lol
I'm not much of a drinker, but the Welsh Dragon looks interesting. What's in it, do you know?
I don't really drink much either but this one is a DEFINITE. It's peach schnapps, mellon liqueur, creme de menthe, orange juice, and pineapple juice. It literally just tastes like a fruit juice. I could easily drink several, which is dangerous in that Florida heat!
Yeah, 65 dollars is too much for a hoodie. I don't mind spending money for stuff that lasts (Dooney and Bourke, I'm looking at you, my heavy little pretties) but just for a hoodie? Naw. Especially when you already had to buy BUG SPRAY at Disney prices.
Right!? $65 just seems excessive for a sweatshirt. I don't even like paying $45 or $50, which is the normal price at regular retail places. But yes, $300+ on a new Dooney? Noooooo problem!
Also agree about Maelstrom. Sorry, not sorry, Frozen is lame. Maelstrom was so cool; plus it encompassed some Norwegian lore. It was unique. Frozen is just...SMH. I MISS MAELSTROM! Frozen is Under the Sea with Elsa not Ariel. <Yawn.> I know that Norway would no longer pay for their pavilion, but I do wish the World Showcase would stay true to what it was designed as and not just another Disney movie homage. I get that Disney had to "repossess" the Norway space, but why torture us all with more frozen stuff? It's not like *we* missed any payments, Disney! Why must we suffer!?! #justiceformaelstromfansNOW
Oh, well. Maybe I should just let it gooooooo....
I'm so glad it's not just us. The way FPs sell out for it you'd think they were giving away gold along the way or something. And it is exactly like UtS. I get it that stuff has to change, but can we not keep recyclying the same ride over and over with different paint on it? I guess I just don't understand why they had to actually change the ride? Like, were the Norwegian officials sitting there saying "we're not paying you for this anymore, give us back our trolls and polar bears?" Like, couldn't they just update it a little bit and keep it about Norway?
On those earrings? (Very pretty, btw) Maybe try bending the wires a little after they are in your ears so they stop being able to escape. I have good luck with that. Half my jewelry box is the orphan home of single stud earrings, though. I have a lot of earrings, just none that actually match, ha ha.
They fell out of my backpack, not my ears. One of them for sure I lost when I pulled my headphones out of my backpack on the airplane, and I don't remember where the other one was. I think I was on the train to NYC and I (again) went to get my headphones and didn't realize the earring was stuck to them.
15 more months until Fish and Chips.....gawwwww.....
I feel your pain! 13 more months for us (or 405 days according to my countdown app! )[/QUOTE]
