Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 IBALT = it's been a long time.Thanks for enjoying my photos!I never cease to be amazed at what I see people wearing at the parks. One day it was over 80 and I saw a woman wearing those fuzzy Ugg boots. Several times I saw 5" spike heels. Wish I'd been able to get a photo of all of them!Oh.You young people and your lingo!I never heard that one.I seriously would love to spend a trip to WDW collecting what not to wear photos.You are right- it woldn't be hard to fill a memory card.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Monday, October 29 – Tea, Anyone? -- Part 1Had breakfast at Chef Mickey’s (IBALT).The character interaction was good, but the food quality was disappointing. Although there were many more selections, the food was much better at Trail’s End. Mickey’s bacon was the thin flavorless cardboard variety. My Mickey waffle was undercooked. Quiche was so-so. Fruit was overall not quite ripe. My food:And some characters:No, we didn't buy the picture package. I think it was $35 for one picture of us with the statue and 5 stock photos of the characters. Ridiculously expensive.We wandered around the Contemporary for awhile.I'm gonna stop here for awhile. Photobucket is acting weird again. I'm so grateful to Carol for teaching me on my last TR to put my image codes into Word and then copy over ... especially at times like this with PB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Monday, October 29 – Tea, Anyone? -- Part 2We then rode the monorail to the Poly just to look around. I love the landscaping, both indoors and out:Then we drove over to Downtown Disney for a brief visit.Then we drove back to the fort because I had a very important event to get dressed for!

Campinghound aka Tim 11 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I am really loving this Trip Report. Awesome pictures. I am waiting for more. :popcorn: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Very nice pictures!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad the review on bacon came up as when we were there the 1st week of Oct. as always my wife has to have breakfast with Pooh & Friends at Crystal Palace and I even commented to her how tasteless the bacon was very bland now I know I'm not crazy. The biggest reason she likes to eat ther is for the Puffed French Toast whivh is always at the childrens section, does anyone if they offer it at any other resturants?

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Gwen, your pictures are so AWESOME! Great TR! I 'm loving it .Thank you, Sheila! I wish I had a better camera, but I try my best with what I have. Pics of you are coming up soon!Great photos!And a cliffhanger!Nicely done.TCDp.s. I would be happy to eat that cardboard bacon any time.Thank you! All compliments on trip reports from you are gladly received!I'd be happy to eat that cardboard bacon too if it meant I were back at the fort. But I much prefer the bacon they are now serving!Me too! Let's do that some time!Gwen, I agree with the others, your photos are wonderful!!It looks like you got to Chef Mickey's really early! Like the first ones there even! It looks like it's still dark out.I also love to go to the Poly and just linger to enjoy the landscaping and the ambience.Thank you too! We were the second table to be seated at Chef Mickey's, so I ran up and snapped some shots before anyone else got to the buffet.As for the Poly, we hadn't been there since our son was married at Sunset Pointe in 2004. It's one of those resorts that is nice to visit but I'd never want to stay there. This visit was nice because we took our time and just loitered around soaking up the place.I am really loving this Trip Report. Awesome pictures. I am waiting for more. :popcorn:Thank you! I'm working on the next installment.Very nice pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!

We like to have breakfast at the Crystal Palace too. No, you are not crazy over the bacon issue. If I'm paying Chef Mickey prices, it's ridiculous to serve me cardboard. Can't help you on the french toast since I'm a low carber and don't eat it. Sorry! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Monday, October 29 – Tea, Anyone? -- Part 3We returned to Dolly and I dressed for the tea party. We had such a great time! We met at the dock and took a boat to the MK, then another boat to the GF.Isn't Missy pretty in her hat!Who can guess whose feet these are? (If you were at the GG, please don't comment!)We sat outdoors and talked until our reservation time, having fun as only the Fiends can do.Then we entered the GF:We were all deciding what to order:Everone else selected menus more exciting, but I stuck with my low carb diet:I chose a spicy decaf tea. Don't remember the name of it, but it was delicious. Also had the British cheese plate and a glass of champagne. Yum ...Dumb me ... I asked what these things were:Turns out they were tea cozies to keep our tea warm. But we were freezing in the room, and Melissa and I found another use for them:To keep our hands warm!So we devoured our tea and snacks:We asked a CM to take a group photo of us:Left to right, bottom row: Lorna, Doodle, KathyLeft to right, stairs: Nicki, Carol, Melissa, Sheila, Gwen, Missy, Julia, LindaWe then went outside and talked for awhile longer before returning to the fort.We had noticed a strange lady sitting in the lobby of the GF:Melissa asked a CM what was going on with her. She was told that the lady lived nearby. She and her husband used to come to the GF every afternoon to listen to the pianist. She had collected stuffed animals. Her husband had passed away. So now she brings a basket filled with the stuffed animals her deceased husband had given her and comes to the GF every afternoon alone to hear the pianist. Such a sad story, but it was spooky! Doodle and I went back in to see her again, and Doodle posed for this picture so I could get one of the lady:It was almost like seeing a ghost. Her clothes were so outdated ... her hair didn't look like it had been brushed in a long time ... and she just sat there motionless.Then we all made our way back to the fort. I cooked dinner, did some prepping for the next day’s potluck, and crashed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Excellent!!!!Based on process of elimination, those have to be Nicki's feet.Great work by you and Doodle on getting a photo of the whacky stuffed animal hoarder.Geez.That might give me nightmares.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Tuesday, October 30 – Visiting with Relatives and a Freezing Potluck -- Part 1 We left early in the morning to go to Lakeland for a visit with my aunt and uncle. Always enjoy seeing these: Stopped on the way at Bob Evans for a giant breakfast. Mine: That omelet was delicious! Had a great visit with Clyde and Jo. Of course on the way back we had to stop at my least favorite store – WalMart. And surprise, surprise, I didn't take a picture of it. Since it was too dark to take these obligatory pictures on our arrival day, I snapped these today: Got back to the fort and finished cooking my contribution to the potluck. Oh, what fun we had! About 80 people attended. We had a great time meeting fiends. Lou's beautiful wife: And Buddy is adorable! (continued in next post -- too many pics) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
