    I had dole whip in the UK!

    I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but I had to share this! Dole Whip is now available in one place in the UK, Chester Zoo. I went earlier this week, and had dole whip, which they call pineapple whip. It was delicious, the taste was the same as in WDW, but the texture was not quite...

    Extra Disney Magic that made your day

    About ten years ago we were at WDW with our two daughters, who were about 10 and 7. We queued to meet the princesses in the MK. We were the last people in the room, and as we were leaving, they called us back, and let our daughters have photos with all three princesses together.

    Little kids at 'Ohana Dinner

    They don't have a separate menu, but when we ate there years ago they asked if our children wanted something different. They were very accommodating and were happy to bring chicken nuggets and fries for us. Now our daughters are older, they enjoy the set menu at 'Ohana.

    Trip Report Discovery Cove, SeaWorld and other stuff.

    Great report. I didn't realise that there was so much to do at DC, I thought it was just swimming with dolphins. I would love to visit DC next time we go to Florida. I'm looking forward to the rest of your report. I could really eat a dole whip now!

    Thursday: We woke up very early this morning as our younger DD was expecting some exam results. She is not doing her GCSEs until next year, but her class did some sections of the exams this summer, and she also did her Maths GCSE a year early. As we weren't home to go to school to get her...

    We had a long rest in the room, and then we thought we'd go to Disney Springs. We walked over to the boat dock and took the boat there. We looked around the shops and listened to some live music. We had a meal at Wolfgang Puck Express, which was actually a counter service...

    We had lunch in the Backlot Express. Again, DH enjoyed all the Star Wars theming. I had the Darth Vader burger, which had some sort of lovely pulled beef on it, DH had the cheeseburger, and the girls had chicken. It was all very good. The dining plan is great, but there is too much food for...

    This report has been delayed as I have had problems downloading all my photopass photos. I think I've got them all now, so can carry on. :) Wednesday: Today our plans were to visit Hollywood Studios. For some reason I thought it was extra magic hours, so we were there just before 8am. I...

    We arrived at Be Our Guest, and went straight in, as we had pre-ordered our food. Between us, we had two beef sandwiches, a turkey sandwich, and a pork casserole. We also had a selection of desserts. We thought the food was just ok. DD didn't like the beef, as she thought it was undercooked...

    After breakfast, we went back out to the car, and drove to the MK car park. It was quite busy at this point, although it was still before 9. We took the tram, and then the monorail to the MK, and then waited in the security line, and then finally went through the turnstiles. It took a long...

    Tuesday: Today, our plan was to have breakfast at the Wilderness Lodge, and then spend the day at the Magic Kingdom. We got up early and arrived at the WL at about 7.20. We had a little look around the lobby, and checked in at the Whispering Canyon Café for our breakfast. We were the only...

    It was only that quiet because it was before 8 in the morning and the park didn't open until 9! The only people there were people who had breakfast reservations. It was much busier later on!

    We were awake very early on the Monday morning, because of the time difference. We got to Epcot at about 7.45, and went into the park. It was really empty, I loved it! I have never seen so few people there! We made our way to the Garden Grill, and checked in for our breakfast by 8.05...

    Pre-Trip Saratoga Springs for 2 weeks, August 2016

    We're back! We had an amazing holiday, and I can't believe it's over. Jet lag is terrible - it's 4.25 am and I'm exhausted but wide awake - how can that be? I will spend some time sorting out the hundreds, or possibly thousands of photos that we all took, and then make a start on my trip...
