I wondered why you were getting coffee so early, I just thought it was some part of your internship or something. And when I saw the castle picture I wondered but you hadn't said anything. I thought maybe it was something in the picture you thought was nice and I was missing something. I just thought I was being slow (I did have some Baileys in my coffee this morning), but your were being sneaky!! ;) I hope you have a good time, how long will you be there?

Yeah, I was never up for my internship before 6 am. Usually 7. I value sleep. Vacation is the only acceptable reason for getting up that early.

I'll be here two weeks. :)

My husband keeps telling me to stop stressing over what my vacation is costing me. He says just go, and have a good time. Now, we have three character meals, and those are quite costly. However, I'm thinking how much the kids are going to like interacting with the characters. For sure the girls especially will love the princesses in Norway. Epcot has lousy fast passes, but we do have fast passes for the new Frozen ride. We may end up spending more time in Future World, than in World Showcase at Epcot, since we have a late breakfast, and I am planning a later arrival to the park. I can't do rope drops every day like I used to.

I agree with with your husband. It's Disney, go and have fun.

If you're into Italian: Tutto Italia, and Via Napoli are spectacular not overly priced meals. Epcot has Soarin', Test Track, And Frozen:Ever After that pretty much require fastpasses. While Spaceship Earth, Mission: Space & Living With The Land don't that are good rides. Although you may not like thrill rides. Can't wait for the day that Epcot has more high quality attractions!

I made the Honor Roll every term from Freshman year to Senior Year so this blonde girl has something going on right upstairs.

That is outstanding, and congratulations on such a major achievement. You must have worked hard to make such excellent grades. (Oh, that also explains why you received such a great scholarship, too.) You have a very bright future ahead of you.

We walked up to Plaza today and had lunch. And here are my thoughts (Note: it's been a while since I've eatten there)

We got there at 11:30. We were told it was a 30-45 minute wait. They text you when your table is ready (pagers are also available) and you have to come back within 15 minutes of receiving the text. If you change your mind, you just text them back. 30 minutes was an overstatement. It was more like 5 minutes. When we left at 12:30, there were empty tables.

We just did entrees (no appetizers, no dessert). My parents had the Plaza Club, which was plenty for them. I had the Chicken Sandwich, which was very good. My brother had the kids grilled chicken strips (not breaded) and liked them.

There were too few fries, and they downed the quality of the fries. They were fine, but nothing spectacular.

Bottom line: the food is good, and it was nice to take a break from the park for a while, but not worth going out of your way for.

The Plaza is good for what you pay for which is Disney is going higher price with everything now. Since they are going walk ins only, we might not go back (my Dad likes to makes reservations, walking up would scare him :rolleyes:) What Disney lacks in the Magic Kingdom and MGM is a good quality sit down restaurant that has reasonable prices.

I am trying to figure out the best way to pay for our three character meals at the restaurant. I hate dividing up checks in the restaurant, and fumbling around for proper funds from everyone. Basically, it's me and 5 other people from the same family. I am thinking of using my room charge, which I have never used before. Also Annette has a certain amount of Disney Gift Cards, and if we earmark those for the character meals, that should make things easier for everyone. I need a plan ahead of time. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I've only eaten breakfast at Chef Mickeys and we really enjoyed it. It was just my husband but it was fun to watch the kids reactions at the tables around us. I would like to do dinner but hubby is a huge breakfast fan, so I can't talk him into that yet. Have fun!

We've have done Christmas Eve dinner at Chef Mickey's. It was a good place for that. With Christmas Day being so nutty, we do Ohana's for Breakfast, Epcot during the day which by the gift of space isn't so bad and then we head to Ft. Wilderness to Hoop for their Christmas show for dinner. It has been many years now since we've done the Holiday's there but we did find good ways to enjoy and manage the crowds at meal time.

Haha, I will try to post more pics! Although the earlier Cinderella Castle one was my only picture for today.

Only one picture? For the day?! :jawdrop:;) My husband would love traveling with you! He used to get a little perturbed with my constant picture taking, now he jokes about it. But now since I got an article published on another Disney blog site, I just tell him it is for future articles!

Sounds like hubby has the right idea. If you have the $$ for it don't stress about it, vacations are meant to be fun and relaxing! If you think the kids will have fun at the character meals than it will be worth the money.
