We ate the Kitchen Sink!

You would think after 14 times to WDW that I know 'it' all! Well, let me just say, I don't! I know a LOT, but I learn something about WDW almost everyday :-) I read a lot of blogs and websites, yes I'm a Disney junkie! Like I've said in prior posts, every trip to WDW is different because we experience different things.

This trip was no exception. You know the expression everything but the kitchen sink? Well, Disney has given that new meaning! The Kitchen Sink at the Beach Club's Beaches & Cream is now our must do list! If you haven't ever tried it, just look below and see what you are missing ~ it is an experience, let me tell you!

So what is in this you ask? The better question is what isn't?!? 8 scoops of ice cream, chocolate, Carmel, and peanut butter toppings. Marshmallow cream, brownie, cake, cookies, candy bar, cherries, and an ENTIRE can of whipped cream!!! 1 Kitchen Sink can easily feed 4 to 6 people. There use to be a challenge for 1 person to eat it. So, for the group of 8 of us, we ordered 2, count em 2 Sinks!!!

Outside the soda shop, I though this table was cute!

The soda shop has an old fashioned feel!

We had 2 tables, because each table only seats 4!

Another birthday celebration for Conrad!

Oh my, can we do it??

We did not eat dinner, AJ decided to order a hotdog, and only ate a small amount of ice cream!

making progress!

Can't quite get it all finished, we need another body!  Can you come help us out?

My biggest complaint? I couldn't buy the sink, or a small replica of the sink! they didn't even have a button or a pin! I really want something besides my pictures to commemorate such a special occasion!

Be sure to make your way to the Beach Club on your next visit to WDW. Beaches&Cream does not take reservations. We arrived about 7:15 and only had to wait about 35 minutes and that was for a group of 8. Not bad.

I can't wait to go back in November and take Kevin over there and let him tackle this!

Have you ever gone there and tried this??

Blizzrd Beach!

When we purchase tickets, I buy at ReserveOrlando.com, I buy park hopper tickets and water park and more tickets. I discovered on this past August trip that the Water Park and more option gives you both water parks and Disney Quest! I also discovered by calling, that if you have a 5 day pass, you get 5 bonus options. Now, just in case you are trying to decide where to buy tickets, this is NOT a paid plug, I do lots of research on ticket prices, and at the above web site, we bought 3 day tickets, got the 4th and 5th day free, then added park hopper option, and water park option.
The kids love Disney Quest, and I wish the weather had cooperated with us, we would have loved to have hopped over to Typhoon Lagoon one afternoon. Oh well, live and learn!

So, I will share some of the pics from Blizzard Beach. This is a water park themed to look like a blizzard came through. It has ski lifts, and polar caps everywhere! We went late in the morning, we had stayed at the MK until 3am. We only had a few hours at Blizzard Beach because a big thunderstorm came in. But what time we were there we had fun!

 Here we are!  Tyler and Zach had gone ahead of us, and when we got there we met up at the lockers!

 The wave pool.

 Tyler, Ashley, and Amelia play in the waves.

 The lazy river!  This is my favorite!  There is Donna.

 Amelia and AJ!

Conrad!

 Ashley's back, AJ, Tyler, Zach almost underwater.

If you haven't been to Blizzard Beach I highly recommend it. We didn't get to do nearly what we wanted to, but we still had fun. Looking forward to next time.

A Day in the Magic Kingdom!

What ride do you ride first in the Magic Kingdom? We usually end up at Space Mt! Or we go and get Fast Passes for it then ride Buzz or TTA. Either way, we usually end up in Tomorrow Land first. What about you? I know several people that say Adventure Land first! Not my family! Anyway, we always have a great time in the MK! Here are some of the daytime pictures :-)

 First thing in the morning, outside the train station.  So beautiful!

 The master of ceremonies, opening of the Magic Kingdom.  Have you ever seen the opening show? It is fun!

 Here is the train, bringing all the characters into view!

 And here is Mickey!

 A countdown, and Boom, the MK is officially open!

 While Tyler and Zach went to get Fast Passes for Space Mt., we ducked in to See Mickey & Minnie at their new location. 

 Carrie, Amelia, and AJ

 Conrad and Donna

 The group of us!

 I believe for the 40th birthday celebration, MK has the Move It Shake It mini parade.  This was a lot of fun, the birthday floats come down Mainstreet, circle the castle and then the characters get off and dance with the guests!  Reminds me of Block Party Bash at HWS a few years back!

 Here you can see my awesome hair ribbon I got from Flip-a-roos.com!

 Yes, I got to dance with Mr. Incredible!  AJ and Conrad were to shy to come dance!

 The funny thing through out this trip, even though we split up our group, we kept running into each other!  Here, we are getting onto TTA, as Tyler and Zach are getting off!

 We couldn't resist!  Since our T's show Goofy trying to eat a Mickey ice cream, we just had to do it!!!!

 And yes, Conrad's piece did go SPLAT! Although AJ didn't get that picture!

 Here are some of the Photopass photos with Mickey and Minnie!

 They really liked my skirt!

 When you purchase the photo CD, they throw on extra photos of the Characters!  I love this!

I did learn that if you pre-purchase the photo CD at the park before you leave you get an extra CD of 500 stock photos, and then you edit your photos online when you get home. That is how I got to put borders and signatures on the photos. Then you order your CD and they ship it to you. I always plan to buy the CD, so I go around the parks, looking for the photo pass photographers! We had 130 photos when we were done with our trip! The castmember in the photo shop was most impressed!

Hope you like our day in the MK! Tell me about yours.
