Oh no, I'm a bad Starbucks fan. I didn't know they had changed up the bacon egg and Gouda sandwich, it was my favorite! I'm glad this version at least wasn't as bad as the last time you had it but I still feel kindaThe last time I had this sandwich in December maybe was when they replaced the gouda sandwich with this
Oh my gosh that gif is too cute. But what the heck southwest?!(It would be way cuter if a bunch of baby penguins with hats and briefcases had rushed onto the plane, but no such luck
Oh heelllllll no. I booked a king and paid extra for a king and the last time I was at the Dolphin they also tried to pull some shenanigans with giving me the wrong room type so they better not try this again. I'm sorry that you guys didn't have a great experience. Proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios is probably 75% of the reason why we stay at Swolphin so often so I totally get not loving it if you would have rather been near Universal.Overall the room was okay, and it wasn't a terrible experience, but we aren't really looking forward to staying there again
I had the butterbeer version of the soft serve and it was really rich. We couldn't finish ours either.We sat down in Knockturn Alley to eat this because it was so hot out. I only finished like half of it But it was really good! I'm just not a big ice cream eater
I totally would have been trying to see it!To answer all the people in my life that asked me this before we boarded the plane & all the people that asked this on the plane....no we could not see the hurricane from the plane.
I’m trying to decide whether to go with them or not for my NYE trip next year. I did the math and based on likely rates, it would only be about $50 extra to go with BWV, then I get the Disney experience... I guess I’ll see how much I like it in December, as well as visit the Dolphin lobby!Overall the room was okay, and it wasn't a terrible experience, but we aren't really looking forward to staying there again. (We booked a nonrefundable rate for 3 days in Dec so we will be soon)
Yummmm! That was one of the things I’m missing most about skipping now that I cut Universal from the December tripWhere I was determined to get some ice cream from Florean's. I got the strawberries and cream/chocolate:
Ugh, that isn’t a good deal at all! They need to get Fuel Rods over at Universal! $30 ($25 online or at an airport kiosk) and unlimited exchanging without needing to return!A Go Puck is Universal's portable charger that you can "rent". You can only rent it for a full day (the website says you can do half day rentals but that isn't true at the MIB location) and it's $21, you can return it to one location in each park and one in Citywalk, and if you break it or take it with you by accident it's like $100+. I didn't want to rent one, but that was my only option so that's what we did.
We had this issue too! I don't get it. We ended up just logging into Netflix since they had just added smart TVs. Luckily we remembered our passwordWe also had trouble with the TV (it would randomly mute
Haha, they do like every other room with a balcony and it costs extra. Your view is much better than ours.It was nice, but then I noticed every room around ours had a balcony except for us
Yummmmmm....The Cowfish Has Officially Left The Building-Full-pound beef burger, creamy peanut butter,fried bananas, applewood bacon,briocheGF bun
I had also just heard from @amalone1013 that they were on their way over. They had decided to buy a pass for multiple nights and had registered for the AP holding area so we'd get to see them this night too.
Ugh now I feel like they're going to do this again in December. I figured maybe it was because we booked through Hotwire, but if they do that normally than maybe that's why they tried it with us.
It's a good chunk farther than Disney's resorts. Sometimes we take the boat to Beach Club and then walk because we still beat the boat. But it was so dang hot that week, it was way worse walking from S/D than it was last September or back in January when we were there!I still thought it was far from Epcot But anything was too much walking in that heat.
A hilarious shirt that I didn't buy, but kind of wish I had:
I got the strawberries and cream/chocolate:
Next Up
Our first night at HHN
I did not know this...and will conveniently forget to share this helpful intel with spouse. Although I usually win anyway - but the bigger the margin, the better the bragging rights. lolAnd try for the targets in the windows they're worth more!
Bahaha. That guy was going to have a TIME at hhn if a duck made him jump like that!but it was a hilarious image since the guy seemed really scared of the duck and jumped in the air
Ugh! That's crazy!!! At least you were able to wait in the shade in the holding area.I'm going to guess we waited around 40 mins because by the time we got in the event had already started
Nope! I'm a certified fraidy cat. I'd have wet my pants!!!Through the chainsaw clowns...
Okay now I am curious, I'm going to have to go google....Like Goldilocks killing the Three Bears, Rapunzel's hair going alive and attacking, (I've just realized if I go into more detail I might say something too graphic for Disboards so I'll cut it there
but in the chainsaw clown area one walked up to Alyssa, and kind of air booped her nose which was hilarious (Like he didn't touch her but made a sound
This scare zone was perfect! It had everything
Uh yeah... not sure what is up with that decor. As they revamp the resort they need to add this one to the list for an update. Apparently it used to be called Tubbi's, which I think is even worse since it either calls to mind obesity or Teletubbies It's gotten better since the recent refurbs but some of the pre-refurb circus looking theming at the Dolphin was just... inexplicable.but I guess they just mean for it to be a "curious gallery of evocative food and art" so I guess Pica-what sums up their decor choice well
And I know for a fact my face was very sweaty at this time...(We actually look super un-sweaty for how hot out it was).
This was my favorite too! I appreciated it even more the next night. And that puppet... the next night it was like, oh no, you were in this house and not SoE! And the Yeti!We had so much fun in this house. I loved all the little details, and a large Critter puppet scared the bejeezus out of Alyssa and I. We thought it wouldn't move and then it did Spoiler alert: Plus there's a swamp yeti at the end that got us good.
I guess the plants wanted revenge?
This just seemed like a bad idea to me, with scaring people and alcohol booth everywhere...I also thought the idea itself wasn't that great, and the uneven floor in the one part was uncomfortable to walk on and almost caused us to trip
Maybe they should put this picture in Scary Tales
(I've just realized if I go into more detail I might say something too graphic for Disboards so I'll cut it there)
And we were like, hopefully we're not bothering you guys just following you around!Because @amalone1013 & Zack are wonderful, patient people and we all had multiple night passes they tolerated all my bathroom breaks due to the large amount of water I was constantly consuming and they let me kind of pick where we would go throughout the night.
I was like, oh no, what is he going to do to me... I thought he was going to start up his chainsaw or something.We walked through the chainsaw clowns again afterwards (and Twisted Traditions), but in the chainsaw clown area one walked up to Alyssa, and kind of air booped her nose which was hilarious (Like he didn't touch her but made a sound).
I like paper people. I liked all of the set ups for the different houses here, and the stilt people, but it wasn't too scary to walk through. Though I did watch them scare people on Sunday while Zack rode RRR a bunch of times.(If you've been with it you might have seen the "paper people" as I've named them that look like they're made of shredded paper .) I did not care for them or the zone as a whole.
The only reason I know there's a Christmas tree there is that is their Christmas store... which we went in last year looking for an ornament (because we started buying an ornament for each trip since the wedding, but that trip we bought one Uni and one Disney).(We're not at Universal at night a lot so maybe this is always there, but I just noticed this building has a Christmas tree upstairs).
They are everything I remember from the movie! I need to get it and watch again, and so Zack can see.the klowns were nailing it too and were the perfect amount of menacing
We actually had no idea where it was, and when we found the hallway Josh was stunned at the amount of food places in the Dolphin. I had known there were more just not where they were.
Josh was confused by the decor so he said "Pica-what?"
I just looked it up thinking maybe Picabu meant something and that's why there were all these birds, but I guess they just mean for it to be a "curious gallery of evocative food and art" so I guess Pica-what sums up their decor choice well.
Oh no, those do not look good! We had nachos and they were pretty good - probably the best of the trip because the ones we had at Pecos Bills were super salty and stale (I feel like that happened somewhere else but I can't remember now).He said it was just as gross as it looks. After looking at the menu, I decided nothing looked or sounded good, and after hearing how Josh liked his meal I was glad I skipped it.
He could see the fear in my eyes and must have decided he didn't need to be too scary to make me flinchWhat did she do!?
