Forgot to comment earlier, but your wedding looked so lovely! Definitely a full experience not just one ceremony/party and I’m sure your guests loved it!
In hind sight this meal would be much better on a day where I hadn't been up before dawn but it was the only day it really worked. I'm so happy I didn't have it the day before there would have been no way I could have made it. You are so lucky to have dined at the Chef's Table. I tried to get that for this week and the entire trip it was already booked. With the new menu I don't think the Queen Victoria Room really is as unique as it once was. I think I actually prefer the main room. It was an amazingly delicious meal though.Looks like a great meal. You were a trooper what with being awake since 3am!! Everything looks so delicious. I think I heard that the difference of the QV room is the intimacy and that they do more tableside stuff but who knows. I’ve only dined at the Chef’s Table (got incredibly lucky years ago) - we were encouraged to take a break mid-way through and went out and shopped around a bit to digest a bit... I guess that might be disruptive in the dining room. I’m not sure what to make of the new menu approach. So glad you were able to go on your special trip and enjoyed it so!!
You can sort of hear her when the doors open for the waitstaff to bring food, but it definitely isn't as great when you're sitting in the room with her.Oh good point--we loved the harpist!! It would be a bummer to not be able to hear the harp.
Thank you I wanted to make it a fun event for the entire weekend and make it more unique than a typical wedding. I think I definitely succeeded with that, my guests are still talking about how great it was.Forgot to comment earlier, but your wedding looked so lovely!

Thank you!! It really was a magical experience and the food was soooo good. Thank you so much, I really did love that gown.I finally got to read your report. Everything was so BEAUTIFUL I lived the Disney Welcome Party. The Reception looked AMAZING!! The Fireball Donuts sounded HEAVENLY!!
Plus, you made a gorgeous bride. Yout dress was so beautiful!! You have fantastic memories of your Disney Wedding Day!!
It was a great meal to top off our awesome wedding week. I suppose it is kind of funny to have Victoria and Albert's followed by Sci-Fi. But we didn't stay through that night so it was the only time it worked for the schedule.Wow, what an amazing meal from start to finish! Certainly a great wedding day splurge. Though I gotta say I laughed at the juxtaposition of a meal at V&A followed by SciFi
My husband got this. I don't know what this is, I had thought it was a reuben sandwich, but I don't see that listed on Disney's website. So I have no idea what this is, but he enjoyed it.
Though I got nothing on that sandwich your husband got. I have had the reuben there before, but that looks like it has coleslaw on it.
Thanks! I asked my husband what the sandwich was and he didn't remember lol. But that sounds like something he would order and he really liked it too.I'm pretty sure that's the prime rib sandwich they offered this summer/fall. I had it in August and it was amazing!
Thanks It really was.What a great trip!
Hmm not a bad idea to pass the timeYou could literally watch the entire movie of Titanic in line.
That salad is totally different than the one I had last time I was there (but that was Sept 2017). When I had it there was iceberg and romaine lettuce, wanton strips, shredded carrots and peppers and a few other things. The new one looks good though!From past experiences I remember more things being in the salad. I'm not sure if it was changed or this was just missing a lot of items
This sounds like the perfect way to watch those fireworks without the madness of the crowds! What a great mini mini moon!Our view from the balcony was perfect, watching the fireworks over the castle and from the lake.
Nope. Nope. Nope. I'm doing a NYE trip next year and I've basically decided, do my FPs and that's it! Enjoy the resorts, have some nice long meals, etc!The wait time for standby was 180 minutes, which is 3 hours Honestly I don't know how people handle standing in line for that long. You could literally watch the entire movie of Titanic in line.
That is good to know! Do you know if if they do the lake fireworks on the 30th too?We watched the 6:30pm firework show from our balcony. It was great. I was surprised that they included the countdown and new years part at the end. That version only includes the fireworks over the castle. For the midnight fireworks they also shoot them off from the island in the middle of the lake.
I hope some of the people waiting were doing something like that.Hmm not a bad idea to pass the time
What you're describing is what I've normally had there. I do agree this salad was really good.That salad is totally different than the one I had last time I was there (but that was Sept 2017). When I had it there was iceberg and romaine lettuce, wanton strips, shredded carrots and peppers and a few other things. The new one looks good though!
It really was, getting away from all the crowds and still enjoying them in person was the best. Thank you! I need to pack still lol.This sounds like the perfect way to watch those fireworks without the madness of the crowds! What a great mini mini moon!
Have fun on your cruise!
Ya the crowds are a bit intense. If you plan everything out and set your expectations you'll have a great time. I did a lot of people watching and had a much slower pace than normal. Those fp's will be gold. Definitely try refreshing to get more than the first three. If we had stayed in the park later I could have gotten more. ADRs a must! The lines we saw for the quick services were terrifying.Nope. Nope. Nope. I'm doing a NYE trip next year and I've basically decided, do my FPs and that's it! Enjoy the resorts, have some nice long meals, etc!
I'm not sure, I got up there on the 31st. I think the 30th fireworks are supposed to be like a test run so I would think they would do the lake ones too at midnight.That is good to know! Do you know if if they do the lake fireworks on the 30th too?
Ya there service can be a bit hit or miss. This one was definitely amongst the worst we've seen. But the food was great and I had a wonderful time. I'd still recommend itI like Ohana, but the service has never been that great. Your meal looks great ,though.
Huh I've never heard of hummus from edamame. Sounds interesting!hummus that I think was made with edamame instead of chickpeas
Glad to got to ride POTC before you leftAs we were leaving Pirates was back up and working so we went on it before leaving the park
I love this place, too! There's one near my company's HQ just outside of Chicago and I've been there a few times while visiting. Definitely a cool experience.A little bonus restaurant review. We stopped in Ft. Myers to go to this restaurant called Stir Crazy. I absolutely love this restaurant
