Keiths trip

[Keith]

Hi from Manchester airport

Very hot and crowded and only a very few desks now everyone has to checkin online or by screen at airport

Security now upstairs seemed more efficient

Plane is hot lips and a proper gate rather than being bussed out to a stand

Hopefully boarding soon i'm ready for my champagne :)

Hope you're all behaving ?

[Isafari]

Fantastic.....a live report :thumbsup:
I am so pleased they are using the proper gate now :yes:

Have a safe journey and watch those bubbles don't get up your nose :hug2:

[Keith]

[Isafari]

His flight was the 10.30 which means he will be arriving in Orlando about

[Johnie]

[Tink]

OK. Thanks. The weather is still holding nice. Cool, but no storms and that is the key. He's only got a bit more to go. :9: Two hours or so. They must be getting excited! :D :D

[Ursula]

:lol: how to make me jealous or what!!!!! I would give DH's left arm to stay at AKL!!! (jk):unsure:

[Keith]

:lol: how to make me jealous or what!!!!! I would give DH's left arm to stay at AKL!!! (jk):unsure:

We thought it was "OK" when we first visited.... but since then we've grown to like it more and more. I know some people said they stayed and didnt see any animals which is just bizarre!

[Isafari]

They obviously don't know where to look :lol:
Whenever we eat at Boma, we always go out and view the animals :yes:

[SleepinCatz]

ah what I would give for the spicy beef at Nine Dragons...YUMMYYYYYY

[Johnie]

[PsychoAlice]

Totally did not!

[Tink]

Good to know that you are down safe and all checked in! The weather tonight is glorious, don't you think? Couldn't be better for Illuminations and a glass of the bubbly. Hope you enjoyed it!

Now. Would someone please tell me why I feel like someone bonked me on the noggin and maybe the Russian army has marched through my mouth? :unsure: Everything was just fine and suddenly... :unsure:

Oh. And why is the door to Keith's office ajar? Surely no one has breeched the sacred inner sanctum! :eek:

Dungeon? Not through here there isn't! :nono: :wink:

[PsychoAlice]

I would never think about going thru you for a dungeon...


:point: but I would go around you!

[Tink]

Through this portal I mean, silly girl. :D :D

[PsychoAlice]

Is that like a vortex?

[Tink]

It's sorta' kinda' like one, only you have to locate the hole in the atmospheric stratosphere to obtain the coordinates to locate the latitudinal longitude that will allow for the ascent into the time warp. :yes: S'true! :yes:

[PsychoAlice]

Yea that wont work...a dungeon is more of a black hole :wink:

[Tink]

Black holes are for sissys. :D :D :wink:

[PsychoAlice]

well then Im head sissy!

Is that like a head mistress dressed in light pink?

[Keith]

Well just back from EPCOT and awake for just over 24hours now :lol: I'm just a bit tired

Random things from today

1. Virgin online checkin for the last couple of years has been faster than even Premium economy/upper.. no more. Everyone has to pre-checkin now whether online or at the airport and everyone economy ends up using the same bag drops. Sooooooo since there are still dedicated PE/upper bag drops, the advantage is back with those tickets again.

2. DME really can sometimes have long queues! Only took 30mins but that's still a long time at the end of a 9 hour flight

3. Nine dragons had a less nice menu for me (picky eater). The food itself was nice but expensive for what it was and it's still really not a great chinese. Quite what they did in the refurb apart from some superficials is unclear to me

4. Wow it's busy here! Busy at the hotel, at the parks, everywhere. It's been getting busier and busier at this time of year but I thought with the economy it may be slower.. .but not that I've noticed!

5. AKL now has lovely new large LG LCD high def tvs :D The HD channels look a lot clearer, sharper and generally all round better.. really impressive v the old tvs disney rooms had

[sazzledazzle]

Sounds Heavenly Keith, hope you have a wonderful time.
(I'm off on my own hollies 2day)
Take care say hi to mickey! X

[Disneybumble]

Sleeping tablets in the coffee.... she'll never know.....


I did that to a teacher once. It worked.:yes:
I think tonight we have a sleepover in the "office".:thumbsup:
Good to hear from you Keith. Where you going today? it's so we can track his movements

[Britchick]

you must of pm'd her to say it or paid her :wink: :laugh:

yes coz i'm a little innocent angel:tongue:

[ukwdwnut]

sounds like a good time boss......is nine dragons the open air chinese, if it ism i think the menu is nowhere near as good as out last trip there was nothing on there that i wantedm i was gutted, as i was really looking forward to it....ended up the only place i could have one was florida mall. mmmmmmmmm great food there

[ukwdwnut]

yes coz i'm a little innocent angel:tongue:

yeah right, :wink: :lol:

[Tink]

[Slowhand]

Glad to hear that you arrived safely Keith.
Now then, are you going to try out any off-site restaurants this time? :whistle:

[SleepinCatz]

off site resturant??? what is this off site you speak of???

[Tink]

Oooooh, there is a whole new world waiting for you 'Catz! :yes: Loads of lovely restaurants just outside the parameters of WDW. :D :D

[SleepinCatz]

I'm afraid we look a bit like the white rabbit when heading to WDW lol...Running like crazy to get safely onsite to allow Disney transport to get us around LOLOLOL

[Keith]

Glad to hear that you arrived safely Keith.
Now then, are you going to try out any off-site restaurants this time? :whistle:

Oh we'll have to go back to that Charley's that you introduced us to that's for sure! Maybe Ruth's chris and/or mortons too :yes:

[Ursula]

We went to Chris Ruths in Mexico.... oh my..... drooooooooooool... it was fantastic.

[Keith]

We went to Chris Ruths in Mexico.... oh my..... drooooooooooool... it was fantastic.

hmmm the menu looks yum and they have peppercorn brandy sauce (If they said sorry we dont have steak I'd be more than happy with a bowl of that... unless I could get the yachtsmans to put back burbon sauce on its menu :( cant believe they took that off)

[Taja]

Glad you arrived safely, Keith.

I'm not too surprised at the crowds. The value resorts were sold out this weekend. I believe the MK parade taping was yesterday and today (Friday & Saturday) and Pop Warner begins today.

I'm a little sad I'm not there--I really need a vacation! You're charged with exceptional enjoyment this visit to share with all of us stay-at-homes! ;)

[uscwest]

Wow this thread really grew. Glad to hear that you arrive safely Keith. AKL is our favorite resort, not only at which to stay but also visit and eat. Have a great time.

[Ursula]

I so want to be there now.

[Jazmine]

Nice hearing from you Keith, hope you all have a fabulous time:hug2:
Jacqui xxx

[Keith]

Having a great time :)

Went to Ruth's Chris steakhouse tonight and wow. Truly excellent in every single possible way :yes:

I had the cowboy ribeye with a wonderful brandy and peppercorn sauce, DW had the lamb.

The service was spot on perfect and the food even better.

Definitely, whole heartedly reocmmended for a really excellent meal.

[Tink]

I am so pleased you were able to get to Ruth's Chris! It's a great place isn't? It's a touch nicer all 'round over Charley's we think. :yes:

You'll love Morton's too. :D

[Beccaberry]

Mmmmmmmmmmm Ruth's Chris...brilliant place. Did Helen enjoy her lamb?

[Keith]

She did :yes:

going to give mortons a try next :D

Magic Kingdom today along with Crystal palace

[Tink]

Morton's will be a bit pricier, and a bit more classically formal. (In the sense of Gentlemen's Club Steakhouse sort of thing). Charley's is where you take your family. Ruth's Chris is where you go with friends. Morton's is where you take 'important personages' in your life. :D

Randomly speaking of course. They all accept families and children. :yes:

[Beccaberry]

*sigh* Utterly jealous you know....utterly.

[Britchick]

what sort of price per head is Ruth Chris's ?

[Tink]

I'm guessing, because it is so very dependent upon what you chose, but for three of us it was a bit over $150. So, $50 per person, but I do think that's a bit low.

We didn't have dessert, and I can't remember about wine. I know a glass for certain, but I don't think a bottle... also the a la carte sides are quite large enough to share, so we did.

If it were just the two of us, we'd spend more. I know that sounds weird, but we would.

[Beccaberry]

Jon and I went on one of our very first dates...I think our bill was close to $150 for the two of us...but we did have drinks.

[Britchick]

okey dokey, thanks

[Tink]

Yeah, that's what I mean. When you go by yourselves you tend to take longer over dinner and spend more... you get wine, etc. The person we had with us the time I am citing in the above post wasn't a wine drinker (or any drinker) didn't want dessert. Really, the person really only wanted a massive piece of beef. :)

So, if it's just a couple (or two couples perhaps who are close) you could easily spend $100 per person. :yes:

[Beccaberry]

True... we had drinks, but no sides...and we were so full at the end, we split dessert...

It was funny though...I was buying (as a result of losing a bet on a football game :wink: )...and I swear I nearly died in a fit of giggles over how hard it was for him to NOT reach for the check at the end of the night...he was practically sitting on his hands! The look on his face was actually *pained* :D

[Britchick]

awww how sweet, i do like to be a modern woman most of the time, but chivalrous acts are nice and make you feel special.

[Beccaberry]

It was very sweet...though I don't think I've paid for another meal since then!

[uscwest]

Ruth's Chris is considerably cheaper than Morton's, I can tell you that. I'm thinking that with tax and tip at RC, we spent about $200. At Morton's we skidded in just under $400. And both of those are for two people.

[Keith]

yep, just over $200 for us at Ruth's Chris although we had no starters but did have champagne

Totally worth it though and if Morton's is better again, well, I can only try to imagine

[Johnie]

I could not imagine ever paying $400 for a meal....holy smokes.

[Britchick]

well Jon says we're not going to Myrtle Beach next year to go! he says it's like going on holiday to the UK and going to Skegness :rolleyes: so it looks like i'll have to wait until Orlando

[Keith]

Went to the new T-Rex restaurant at downtown disney this afternoon (pics coming soon :)

No wait at all at 1pm on a Tuesday, but Im led to believe that's unusual!

It's pretty similar in terms of setup and menu to the rainforest cafe. There are dinosaurs all over that growl at you and some pretty good movement. There are three main rooms, one was a jungle type, one an under the sea style and my favourite, the ice room :)

The service was pretty good although it was clear it's a new restaurant and they were still finding their feet. Still, I'd class the service as a notch above rainforest.

The menu itself was astoundingly similar to rainforest with most of the same things. I'd rate the food slightly above RF in terms of quality but they're both pretty similar.

There did seem to be more space at trex, the tables werent quite so close which was nice.

All in all, I dont think you go to either place for the great food ;) but neither disappoints in terms of a fun show with an ok meal.

[Tink]

Thanks Keith. :yes: About what I thought. I'm not an RFC fan at all, so you've saved me a trip. :D However, the little people in the family may think differently. :sigh:

[Keith]

few more photos...

[Tink]

Wow! Wild interior!

[Keith]

Thanks Keith. :yes: About what I thought. I'm not an RFC fan at all, so you've saved me a trip. :D However, the little people in the family may think differently. :sigh:

yep, the little people certainly seemed to love the place :yes:

Like RFC every so often a storm errupts and the ice room turns red, dinosaurs go wild etc. and the kidlets certainly seemed to love it.

Even the tables were themed with fossils embedded therein.

There's also a build-a-dino style area from the build-a-bear people

[Tink]

Oh, but of course. :lol: Must have a way to take home a souvenir, eh? :lol:

[Johnie]

I want to sit in the ice room. Thanks for the pics Keith.

I'm surprised there isn't a Build a Bear store in DTD like in CA. It would do tons of business.

[Beccaberry]

OOOOOOOOOOOH!!! That looks for cool, Keith! Thanks for the photos!

[PsychoAlice]

OMG the ice room is amazing!!

[Keith]

OMG the ice room is amazing!!

It totally is :yes: the other rooms aren't nearly as good as that one.

everything really looks icy blue until suddenly volcanoes erupt, dinosaurs start growling and the ice room turns red

definitely the best part of the whole place

Whilst I remember, they said they're not taking reservations or discount cards like ap/dde (tables in wonderland) till January when they should be taking all of them

[lisaw]

Thanks for the report Keith - looks great! :D

[Jazmine]

Wow Keith that is awesome DH wants to go there now :yes: thanks :hug2:

Start planning--and saving! :lol:

17th October to 8th January? That's a lovely, long holiday! :wink:

Okay, so we could base it around mid-December. You and Denise could plan the first few days--should be value season until the 21st or so--at one of the value resorts, then move to a villa for the remainder of your holiday. That way you would be on site for actual meets, but able to relax and spread out more the balance of your holiday. :)

See? You just have to think outside the box a wee bit! :D

And the holidays in Florida just might be enough to convince your young'uns to make the trip with you!
