Greetings, all -- just got back last night from WDW. Had a great time!
I won't do a trip report, but I will share snippets (over the next few days) of some highlights and miscellaneous things.
I'll also go back to where I left off in this thread (before I left on vacation), and attempt to do "ketchup" today.
First a comment to
@Gabe1 -- after seeing the national news reports of excessive security check lines for O'Hare, I assumed it wouldn't be much better for my airport in Boston, or Orlando's. Happy to say that I was given TSA Preclear for BOTH of my flights!!!
I sailed through both in about 8 minutes.
For everyone: my review of Ample Hills Creamery (new ice cream shop on the Boardwalk, that just opened on Sunday). This is a nice shop, next to ESPN. They have odd sounding names of ice cream (you have to read the descriptions, because the actual names tell you nothing
). So I had a (one-scoop) dish of Sally Sells Seashells, which was an orange flavored ice cream with a few chunks of chocolate (that had a hint of salt in the chocolate, but it wasn't overbearing). Cost with tax was $6.17.
The ice cream was very tasty, and yes, I do recommend it (
@figmentfan423 , you asked about Ample C. for your family's upcoming trip, and I'd say to go there). Note: I wouldn't say it was any better than Ben & Jerry's for example, but it was a high quality ice cream. Hence, I wouldn't recommend anyone make a special trip to go there,
unless they were already over in the Boardwalk area. My only concern is the heat in Florida. There is no seating inside the shop, so I'd recommend getting the ice cream in a cup, versus a cone. If you get a cone, you'll have melting ice cream running down your hand in no time.
