Steakhouse 71 is probably our favourite place to get breakfast on property. We've actually re-arranged our plans for our next trip purely so we can eat there!

Yeah and we'd have been charged if we didn't get it corrected. No idea what happened, but they didn't even apologise (other than the CM who fixed it for us) but the manager came over and was just like "oopsie". Don't think we'll rush back there!

Yeah the brunch thing was just odd! And if I hadn't asked the other couple, would they have just left us to wait until they closed? Who knows lol Not one we'll rush back to for sure!

Yeah, we used to love Grand Flo cafe but there's items been removed from the menu and then the service issues we figure we'll give it a miss in future!

There's so many pins that I know are coming and I'm worried shop disney won't get in the UK! The llama day one has hit the parks but no sign online yet, which is going to make being a completionist hard! Glad you got the Yzma pin though!

It's so good isn't it?! I loved how close we were, and how much background information we got about the conservation efforts. Such a brilliant tour and amazingly priced for Disney! Think it's one we'll do again in the future, but thinking of Rhinos for our next trip :)

I got sooooo many Little Mermaid and Aladdin ones! It seemed to be what most people had, so my minor collections got a good chunk of pins added!! There's so many beautiful pins coming up. The Winnie the Pooh monthly series ones are so much prettier than the footage makes out!

haha I'm usually the one mega jealous, so I totally understand! I honestly never thought I'd get to go to a pin event in WDW, so having the dates line up was just amazing! Andy also got into it, so much so that he's said he'd be happy to go to another!! Just have to hope that the dates line up now for a future trip!!

@@ParkPioneer Oh man, I hope you'll be able to go to another event soon! I'd love to go to the DL one next year. It's easier for us to plan for DL than WDW. Great haul of the boards - will you be posting close ups of what you traded for on Insta? I'd love to see everything

haha that'd be awesome if they did that! We were surprised by how cheap it was relative to standard Disney pricing as well! It was a lovely way to spend the morning though just watching the elephants eating their breakfast!

The parts of the enclosures that you can see is a small area compared to what they actually have. The part on the Caring For Giants / Safari area is just what they use for socialising the different families, but there's other areas behind that. From what we've seen, the elephants were interested in the enclosure with lots of things for them to lift and carry, and food hidden in puzzles for them.

It's the signature dessert at Bull and Bear. They take a full lemon and cook it in syrup, then make the skin into a candy and fill it with a lemon sorbet and lemon curd. There's also a biscuit and cream element, but it all is presented inside the original lemon. I've no idea how they manage it, but it tastes amazing and they serve it all at the table to make it into little bite sized pieces. It's amazing 😁

Wow! That sounds great!

It was great chatting with you as well! Behind the Seeds was fantastic. We've wanted to do it since we first discovered it was a thing, but never managed it until this trip but it was worth the wait!

Thanks for watching!

oooh you will love it! It was such a fun morning, just standing and watching them eating their breakfast!

The Skyliner is the best and worst thing ever lol Absolutely terrifies me! All lizards are adorable, but the ones living in The Land were particularly cute for how they ran across the sand! I have no idea where all these prints are going because I've now bought so many that I don't have room in my office!

They do! They were both so lovely when we were getting autographs as well!

On one hand I’m like, that’ll be here before you know it, but on the other those final weeks seem to take 47 trillion years to come around! Bet you can’t wait though! I think we’re on 106 until our next trip which is in that nice far enough away that I’m not panicking about all the things I need to do before we go, but almost at the double digit dance day 😂 Hope you have a fantastic trip!

Definitely recommend Steakhouse 71! We love the breakfast there, but we've had fantastic evening meals there too. We even sneaked in a lunch there on our final day and that was brilliant as well.

The sliders are like hens teeth! We've been trying to get them since we joined DVC and never had any luck! We got 2 of the last 3 that the booth in MK (near where the new DVC lounge is going) had! I think Steakhouse 71 might be our favourite breakfast place on property. It's just always been superb. Hoop Dee Doo was good, but probably a one and done for us.

Yeah it wasn’t accepting mobile orders, it was just total chaos, but the food at Saratoga is ok. Not our favourite quick service at a resort (that’s probably Riviera) but hard to mess up chicken tenders 😂

Glad it’s easier for global entry! Love when things are so efficient!

I think buying DVC is probably the best thing we ever did. Saves us so much money, but it all depends on individual circumstances. It’s not going to be right for everyone, but definitely works for us!

Got to grab any ENG merch as soon as possible with how rare it is!

It’s accidentally become the resort we’ve stayed at the most. I just wish the quick service food options were better!

Thank you! I’ve actually added about another 30 pins to the collection since this video as I’ve been to some events where my only focus was on trading for ENG pins. I may get to complete the collection one day, if the profile pins ever come down substantially in price!

I was convinced when the pilot came on saying we had a problem that it was going to be the end of the holiday before it had even started! I think if Andy hadn't fallen asleep he'd have lost the will to live with my constant questioning and worrying!

Only banned from being eaten near me on a flight lol I can't think of anything worse than 5 hours into a 9 hour flight the seat next to me cracking open a fish or egg sandwich 😂😂

It is a beautiful resort, and so close to Disney Springs. The only downside is the quick service offerings aren’t great, and Congress Park has nowhere to fill up a resort mug so we never bother getting one (which is the most first world problem ever!!)

Thanks! We had a great trip, but coming back to a freezing cold and wet UK has definitely been an adjustment!

Andy thinks I’m only a nervous flyer when I’m with him because I have to fly for work and always manage it 😂 Global Entry sounds more complicated than it is to be honest. You do a UK government check similar to the DBS, get a code then do an application to the US using that code. Once that’s approved you just do the final paperwork on arrival to the US. For the two website bits we had a decision within 3 weeks then just waited until we next went to WDW to finish it off. Think it cost about £150 per person, but it’s valid for 5 years. Pins will always be my downfall, along with plush, ears, spirit jerseys and anything cute 😂

The Figment Big Feet is super cute, but an odd size for packing because the feet just stick up 😂 So far I only seem to have doubled up on one pin in the buying whilst out there which is pretty impressive for me! 😂

It was just in the Wonderland Gallery. I went through all of the shelves looking for it 😂 Like every, single damn shelf to the point that Andy had lost the will to live and thought I was mad 😂

I love the self-confidence I have that I’d even be able to make a cushion and wouldn’t just destroy the spirit jersey 😅

I may have found even more boxes 🙈 We usually have zero luck with mystery pins so this was a massive success for us! 😂

ooh I love that idea! There's still a few Disney films that we haven't watched because when they were released I was in the depths of dissertation hell or had just started my business that I really want to watch before we go (Princess and the Frog and Big Hero 6 are top of the list) but I've also decided I need to remake our halloween costumes and re-paint my suitcase because 12 days before we fly is the obvious time to try and do a zillion things 🙈

ooh that's a good idea! We've never done the boat in Epcot, and it'd probably make me feel less weird about coming to Japan the wrong way round 😂 I always forget how big world showcase is and think it looks tiny, get 2 pavilions in and think flipping heck my feet are dead!!

Thank you! I'm sure there's loads more things we've never done, but one of the reasons we got DVC was to make sure we didn't have to do everything in one trip and could keep going back doing new things....I'm not sure Tom Sawyer would have jumped so far up the list if it hadn't been for D23 though!

I may have let the Stitch travel bags with a J on fall into my basket and a couple of t-shirts lol It was mainly jumpers though, and I feel like I've missed my chance at cheaper Disney t-shirts for Florida because the shops have decided it's now Autumn! I think Primark are opening up around the US so you may get one near you! I miss the Disney store too. The only one in the UK now is in London which is 3 hours away for us. It's actually easier for us to fly to Ireland and go to the Dublin store than it is to get to London!

Thank you! Still getting used to it and how much quicker it is to try and straighten. Not sure Florida humidity will be my friend with it though lol

oooh that's a good shout as we've never done the boat either! I'm not entirely sure how we've just entirely missed Boardwalk. I think it's one of those areas we plan to do then our feet hurt after a day at Epcot and we just abandon the plan!

haha since I filmed this I realised I missed any that are on my lanyard plus some that were in my pile of pins to sort 🙈 I'm trying to get more organised with pins, so I've just started logging all the pins I have and what I want on My Pin Central so that I stop buying duplicate pins and generally get better at knowing what I have and need.... yet to discover if that works for me though!

I'm all about Buffy and Team Spike (he has the most amazing cheek bones of any human ever lol). I think Seasons 1-3 of Buffy are fantastic. But I do like with Spike reappears in Angel in the last season (and want a puppet Angel!)

They're so good, and they fit nicely in a kallax unit from Ikea which is a big win for me lol I think we have about 7 of them for our pins / traders and despite how hard I make it look, they're really easy to get the pins out of!

Thanks! I'm fully counting down the days now! I'm like a Peter Kay sketch "this time in 3 weeks we'll be at such a place". Think Andy is going to go insane with my constant countdown!

haha I have the opposite problem; I'm so short everything drowns me! They used to have way more, but the first one we went to had no Disney stuff and this one didn't have anywhere near as much as it used to. I think we're at a weird in-between seasons time even though it's still fully Summer as far as I'm concerned! Shops seem to think all anyone wants is jumpers when it's 30C!!

Thank you!! 😊 We're super excited to finally be heading back to WDW!

I'm so excited for Cirque! Trying not to think about the fact we've paid for the tickets twice as it was the only part of the cancelled February trip we couldn't get back. Which grand scheme of things is nothing, but still painful when you say the price lol

In a heartbeat! I would absolutely love to! Andy is a bit more reserved because he fears culture shock, but I'm slowly trying to convince him that we should apply to go on it!
