Yep, it's the chocolate "Chip" nose! Chip & Dale are DH's favorite characters, so I was coached on how to tell them apart.
I'm hoping after all the tips, I will remember now!
We were supposed to do Garden Grill during our trip, but found out at the last minute that it wouldn't be happening and ended up at Akershus instead. This breakfast is on my radar for next time, whenever we get back to WDW. I love basic breakfast food! Looks like you guys had a great time!
I totally recommend it!

Thank you!
Have this booked for August as a PPO on Epcot day-hoping to hit Soarin right after and then start TT with FP.
Yes, I think
@ariane37 did it that way once and
@Jfsag123, as well.
Were you seated where you could look into Living with the Land? I have never been in this restaurant and i think I'd like looking at the attraction while it turned past us...
Yes, you could see into part of the time, because, of course, the restaurant revolves around, so some of the time you see out into the Land pavilion, sometimes just walls.
Your hubby's figment shirt is super cute! I also love seeing your boys hugging the characters--it's so precious.
Thank you!
I can never tell them apart either!
Glad to know I am not the only one!
Yay Ryan for redeeming himself!
For sure! I was worried at first.
Smart! We made similar plans when we did FP for my mom and sis. It's really a genius plan.
Thanks!
I've heard that about GG. Lots of reports of seeing the characters multiple times too.
See, and I had heard the opposite...though mostly from
@ariane37 as i think they had character issues at least twice! So I was pleasantly surprised!
I have enjoyed your trip report. Congrats on DVC, we are owners too.
It is so exciting!
Thank you!
I could have killed my DH before we arrived on our trip in May, so I had to grin at that.
HAHA...it is good to know that others can relate!
I'm always the first one up too and then have to get everyone else up too.
Mom Life!
I've been guilty of this too. Once they start playing you have to drag them out kicking and screaming.
Exactly! Not how I wanted to start my day!
Thank you!
Glad you have a good ride. No trouble with motion sickness?
No, oddly enough. I remember having mild issues occasionally in the past, but I did not this time. DH mentioned it did 'take his stomach" somewhat.
How dare you!
Josh feels the same way.
HAHA.
But I just figured out how to tell them apart the other day from watching a video review of GG. Dale has a lighter cooler nose and teeth that are apart, and Chip's teeth are together and his nose is black.
I'm hoping with all the commentary now, that I will remember the differences!
Tell AJ, I liked all the emojis! It looks like a big DIS party to celebrate your new DVC ownership and another trip planned for 2018!
He truly enjoyed putting all those emojis in...lol.
So cool how Chad is now a HUGE Disney fan!
I know that you must be
with excitement to start be able to share your love of Disney with him and talk about future trips.
Yes, it is really nice because when we do discuss it, his excitement is so incredibly obvious! He's planning his next tattoo: Mickey Mouse! He just needs to figure out what specifically he wants.
Your photos of the new fireworks show look good, but one thing I noticed is that they have a projection on the castle which looks nice but I hope that they also just light up the castle with plain colors during the fireworks show too because that I think the castle looks so beautiful that way. I will just have to wait until I see the show in person before I decide if I like it as much as I did Wishes.
It is mostly projections though there may be times of plain colors. I can't remember good enough from our one viewing. I do hope you enjoy it in person!
just remembering all your morning arrivals at the parks last year, which we can laugh at now although you weren't laughing at the time!
Yes, all in the past, right?? And it looks like that even if my parents do join us on a future trip, Chad will be there so we can just get up and go and they can meet us later!
Thank you!
I was going to say Mmmm until I read it had no taste. That stinks.
Yeh, just dry and not much flavor. But, maybe it was an off day. You could always try it. Maybe it will be better for you?
I'm glad you guys enjoyed breakfast there. It's not that we didn't, the food was great the first time and pretty good the second. We just can't seem to get good character flow when we're there although when we do actually get them to stop at our table the interaction is fine
Yes, I totally do not blame you. Your character mojo does NOT work at GG!
Glad to see you all made it to the pavilion without being trampled by the stampede
It was touch and go for a moment!
What a great picture!!!! Their excitement is undeniable.
Thank you!
Well here is clearly when Chad became a lifelong disney fan. A good bloody mary before noon will turn even the most cynical amongst us
Hands down...the winning moment! HAHA. Though to be honest, all of the available alcohol at WDW probably didn't hurt my cause one tiny, little bit!
You got it exactly right. They bring the sticky bun with the fruit first and then the rest of the meal later.
Yeh, so they probably are used to taking their time on the platter so everyone has a chance to eat the sticky bun. So even though we did not get one, they may not have remembered to adjust the time on bringing out the hot food. No harm, no foul. It all worked out in the end.
Getting there in the vicinity of RD is a huge improvement over last year! Congrats!
For sure!
I think I enjoy that ride more when we're not on it. Does that make sense? We have fond memories of it and the song makes me happy, but I'm never that into it when I'm actually on it. We missed it at
Disneyland, though.
Totally makes sense!
Soarin' seems to take forever, FP or not. It seems like it's always at least 30 minutes total experience time no matter what.
Exactly this.
There are seats in the upper circle as well. I know because we sat there. I had wanted outer circle, but it ended up being fine.
Good to know.
Thank you!
Disappointed that that mimosa looked so much better than it apparently was. Like
@ariane37, my first thought was to add it to the list when I saw it.
Well, I don't want to dissuade you from giving it a try. It may have just been an off day?
That sticky bun is one of the main reasons we booked GG! So so good.
Shocking that no one in my family likes it, I know!
