Loving the photobombs!
lol......I know some folks hate folks photobombing them......but some can be quite funny!!!
We had a guy photobomb us in Switzerland many years ago.....I swear we never saw him at the time!!! He looked as if he was popping out the lake behind us...…..
The days of real photographs and not digital images!

Uhh those fish look just as evil as the one where they were lined up in an attack formation.
We enjoyed the chicken wraps at Thunder Falls Terrace years ago, we shared one and that was still too much.
Oh I enjoyed the area around FotH the view of the castle is neat from that view/ride. I can't remember what the announcement was that keeps repeating over and over but we finally started saying it along with 'Hagrid'....we weren't even in line that long either.
It looks like Kyle is getting ready to salute Tom.
The picture of Kyle on the 'Pineapple Bank' is so cute, your photo bomb made it even better. Kyle is quite the photo bomber so getting back at him was divine justice.

lol.......yes, I don’t like fish (unless I’m eating it) or anything that dwells in water to be honest......but those fish are weird! It’s almost like they know......and what the heck do they all live on in such a small area of water!! We can see ones like that in the water out of the lagoon view window in a Sapphire too.... creepy!!
Yes, Kyle and I shared the chicken wrap too, it is very large, but so tasty!!
I love the views from right under the castle too......
Oh yes, he is quite the photobomber......and yes, it does look like a salute, but I’m sure it wasn’t.......none of us can remember what we were talking about for once........

Sal`s Pizza is one of the best onsite pizza`s there is. It`s the only food option we like at PB. And we try to come visit here at least once a trip.
We walked to the boats and had to wait maybe almost ten minutes for the Portofino Boat. This time of day is not considered peak time, so it`s not unusual to have a little wait for a boat......they are still regular and you never wait too long. PBH is the furthest of the hotels with a boat, but don`t let that put you off. It`s not a long walk, it`s just a little longer than the others. The walk is in shade most of the way and a very pretty walk like all the paths to the hotels.
A few minutes later we are heading towards PB and it is a lovely resort with distinct features that do resemble the real Portofino area. It has been done very well.
And I do like the huge Christmas Tree in the piazza......we never came to see it at night this year, but it is very beautiful.
It is rather a sprawling resort, some folks are put off by this, but honestly, it`s not that big and everything is not as far as you may think.....I can understand why some folks do want to be close to either the Club Lounge which is lobby level and some want to be close to the boat docks.
Beautiful as it is, we`ve never really been drawn to stay here.
Sal`s however is a favourite!! From the first time we ate there, we thought it was magnificent, and brought PB back into our food options onsite as we had several bad experiences with Mamma Della`s and Bice.
They have a whole menu other than pizzas.
Some delicious sandwiches and there are read made appetisers and pre made salads and sandwiches too.
It`s also where the grab and go breakfast options can be found.
And of course a good selection of wines, beers and soft drinks to choose from.
They also have a soda machine in the premises too.
As you can see, during the day you never have to worry about getting seated anywhere in here.
We like to sit through in the booths, for no other reason that we like a booth.
You order your food and pay, collect your drinks and they give you a buzzer to go get it when it`s ready. Although there are times they do bring your food through, usually when it`s quieter like today.
I had got a little bottle of red wine, Tom as were staying onsite for dinner tonight had a beer....and Kyle had his usual water.......and of course got in on the picture...........
We didn`t wait very long and then one of the staff brought through our pizzas.......and they looked delicious!!!!!
And apologies again to those who hate pineapple on pizza......
Kyle opted as usual for a small cheese pizza with a barbecue sauce base.....
I say small, but it`s rather large and would do two people easily.
For us we got our usual, again a small BBQ chicken pizza with added pineapple and jalapeno......
I can feel my Italian born friends shake their heads as they read this...….everything they think is wrong with pizza.....most of them would only eat pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese with oil......…no bbq sauce, no chicken and certainly never, ever, ever would they put pineapple near a pizza!!!!
I love it!!!!! Tom could leave off the pineapple given the choice and he prefers tomato sauce, but for sharing he isn`t too bothered and as long as I`m happy he`ll eat it.
We absolutely love the pizza`s.......Kyle demolishes his, although he always leaves most of the crusts, as do I funnily enough. We manage to share ours quite happily and it is enough for us. I couldn`t eat a whole pizza as the small ones are very large in my view. The large ones would definitely feed a family.
We have a bathroom visit and head back out towards the boat.
This place is like a ghost town during the day for most of the time.....we have never seen more than two and three people around whenever we have wandered over here. If you are looking for quiet, this is the place to come.
Tom found a unique mode of transport!!!
Again, we wait a fair amount of time for a boat today. I think we always seem to wait the longest time for boats when we are here for some reason. I`m sure each hotel is allocated the same amount of boats, so we may just have been unlucky.
The boat ride is lovely. And the heat has really built now and it is glorious......blue skies and warm temps.....this was bliss for us.
Kyle had decided to go back into the park, I think he was going to Studios to do RRR and Mummy a few times. We planned to head back to the hotel and maybe go sit by the pool for a while in the shade.....
But, when we got back, Tom was yawning and fancied a snooze.
He got settled for his snooze, and I didn`t feel like sleeping, so, went down to the lobby to take some pictures of the tree and the new decor...it was so busy. There was a huge group checking in, but I did run into our friend and had a good old chat to him for a while. Tom wouldn`t worry why I was away for so long as he knew I`d be chatting to someone, or more than likely our lovely friend. He was right. We did arrange to meet up Monday afternoon for a while.
Eventually around an hour and a half later I made it back up and he was just awake. He had needed a little snooze, so why not.
I had a twenty minute nap myself at this point and about an hour later Kyle appeared and had loved his time on his own in the park.....he had just gone on everything he wanted to again and again.......the joy of EP.
Coming up.....The Palm.

We went up to the Club Lounge for an hour or so tonight, mostly to see our Australian friends who we always enjoyed chatting to every day we could. But, we also wanted to see another of the Supervisors we hadn`t seen yet.......and tonight she came up to see us. She is lovely. Last year she had given Kyle the ginger tea when he was poorly and is just a lovely lady.....with a very good sense of humour!!!!
We could talk for hours to her and we always have a good giggle. So between chatting to her and the Oz family, our time disappeared quickly. We also managed to fit in a couple of glasses of red wine too!!!! Well, no driving tonight.
Back down, we got showered and changed, Kyle hadn't come up to the lounge with us was already changed. So he watched tv and waited for the medical ads to come on to keep him amused while we got ready.
Our table was booked for 7.45 so we had plenty of time to go down to the lobby and get some pictures by the tree. Tom did start off with doing some selfies, but one of the TM who knows us took a few of us altogether.......
We chatted for a while and then went out to get a car to take us over to the Hard Rock. There was one waiting and our favourite valet guy Daniel was there...….and still calls me Claire which Kyle found quite amusing.......who`s this Claire???
It didn`t bother me he picked up my name wrong, and now it would look odd if I did correct him......lol.......
The Hard Rock is only a five minute drive away. The ODC of course now have the $10 charge instead of complimentary as it used to be. But, it`s worth it for the convenience. I guess a cab would be cheaper, but by the time you wait for one you would already be there. And we don`t use Uber. Convenience works for us.
We do like this water feature, but this is one of two hotels that leave me cold. It`s not a hotel I`d ever stay in and it never feels like a resort to us at all......of course many like it, each to their own, but if it wasn`t for The Palm, we`d never visit this hotel at all.
We see this little beauty as we wander in........
The Lamborghini Urus which has a 4.0 litre V8 engine that enjoys 641bhp.....lovely car. Nice price too!!!
They were revamping the bar area while we were there, so despite some construction you could still get a drink, and of course a nice Christmas Tree doesn`t go wrong.......
The barman very kindly offers to take one for us, sadly the lighting isn`t the best in this area and the tree lights don`t help, but still, it`s one of us altogether.
We go down to The Palm just in time for our reservation. We do miss Lauren who used to work here, she was fabulous, but the lady tonight was very nice too, and we were escorted to our booth immediately.
We had put on the reservation we`d love Joyce to be taking care of us if possible, but turns out she only works during the week and not weekends. We have known Joyce a number of years now and she is lovely. But, we had the most senior waiter looking after us tonight so we were happy with him. Gabe is the one who serenades ladies and gents on their birthdays, and is very professional with a wry sense of humour. We liked him.
The Palm is a noisy restaurant, no doubt about it, but being in the booths somehow it doesn't seem as bad. And we`re glad about that as we do love to chat the evening away when we have dinner. Nothing civilised in shouting at one another.
We order a bottle of Pinot Noir, a slight change from our usual choice of wine here, but this one sounded so good. And it was.
Kyle asked for his usual daiquiri, Gabe said they didn`t have a blender but could make one up for him to try......he drank it, but it wasn't the best drink he`d had. I think it had basil in and was a little overpowering on the palate.
The water waiters always keep your glass topped up......it barely gets half empty and they miraculously appear at your side......
Our bread also appears and we do all have a little sample, but not too much......
Kyle very rarely eats an appetiser. He much prefers a dessert, and Tom and I decided to share one tonight, so we order the shrimp appetiser and my goodness it is delicious.
Although neither of us touches the atomic horseradish sauce!!!
The shrimps were huge as always and as fresh and tasty as always......the cocktail sauce has just the right amount of piquancy and heat.....so not to overpower the shrimp.
We had all ordered steaks as usual, and I`m not sure why the filets always look so small in the pictures!!!!
Kyle and I both ordered the 9oz filet, his served medium, mine was medium rare and both were perfectly cooked and melted in the mouth too......they are so tasty and we had also asked for them not to be highly seasoned, which they did exactly that.
I do have to say the brandy peppercorn sauce was the only let down of the evening. I like a little sauce on the side and don't use a lot, and Kyle wanted to try it too, but it was harsh and there was too much of a brandy taste for us rather than pepper. So, they remained untouched.
Tom ordered the 18oz boneless ribeye served medium rare for a change........and boy was this full of flavour!!!!
And it was perfectly cooked too....I think I may be converting him to medium rare!!!
We usually have the au gratin potatoes, but Kyle had loved the fries last time, so we ordered them as a side for a change, and I have to say, they were the best fries we had tasted in a long time!!!
Sorry the picture is so blurry! I guess it must be one of mine...…..
We declined dessert as we were so full......Kyle would usually have had the flourless chocolate cake but he had a Linda`s chocolate Fudge cake to devour that was still in our fridge.
The evening had been completely wonderful. Food had been exemplary, service wonderful and it hadn`t been too noisy. We had chatted the evening away and laughed all the way through our meal.
We asked Gabe for the check and once we paid we headed off to get a car from the Valet guys to take us back home. But, as is common at HRH they never seem to be readily available. They told us one wouldn`t be long and around 10 minutes later, one did make it. One of the valet guys was just about to take us, but we had a car.
A few minutes later we were back home and after chatting to a few people we knew, we went upstairs and the rooms always looked so cosy after turndown people had been in......low lighting, drapes closed over (although I usually opened the bedroom ones slightly) but it`s nice to come into to.
We put the waters in the fridge and put the tv on, while Kyle gets the cake out of the fridge.......I should have taken a picture of it as he ate it, but by now he was almost done when I thought about it. And he loved it!!!!
We sat up and watched some tv for a while before we headed through to bed, I think Kyle put the tv off straight away.
And again, we barely said goodnight to each other. We were shattered.
But, we`d had another wonderful day in the parks, and planned to do more or less the same tomorrow.
Studios tomorrow.

Hey @schumigirl! I’m still around and following along!
As usual, I loved your KSC report! Although it was pretty busy when we went recently, we were lucky to avoid school groups. We didn’t even deal with the food lines—I brought a backpack cooler with snacks and drinks, then we stopped at Dixie Crossroads in Titusville for a big dinner afterwards.
You should definitely do the shuttle simulator next time. It’s fun and very educational. You’ll learn about “the twang!” We ended up doing the Explore Tour which supposedly goes to places beyond the normal bus tour, plus has several stops when you can get out. It was great for my son to take pictures, plus it enabled us to not worry about the bus lines (although you must still ride the normal buses back from the Saturn V building). We also loved the Treasures Gallery. It was just a great day all around!
Anyway, I’ll keep following. I hope you all are doing well!

Hi Carole, I just got caught up beginning with your evening in the snow at Celebration. Reading this just after I cleared 8 inches of heavy wet snow from our driveway!
You know, I'm surprised we have never seen you in the parks as much time as we have spent together there. Some people I see day after day it seems. We only see you in the lounge!

Good to see you!!!
Yes, that sounds a fabulous add on as a tour. This year if we Kyle can get longer off we plan to go twice, so will definitely do something extra.
I will do the shuttle simulator next time I think........yes, it is just a fabulous day that we honestly can’t rate highly enough.
Glad you avoided the mass school trips!!! Funny you mention Titusville, someone recommended stopping off at a place there for dinner, maybe next time as it’s so handy.
Not long till May, and I’m sure we have a trip to St Augustine in mind then, so hopefully we can coordinate a meet up again......
And thank you, glad you’re enjoying it again........
