Yeah, maybe it’s the combination of Tonga toast, bacon, strawberry sauce, and a press pot of Kona coffee that does it for me. I agree it probably is overhyped though!
I’m not that bothered about Dole whips for probably the same reason (I know - Disney Superfan fail!) - think I need to try one with coconut rum - that might change my mind.
I’m a fan of pretty much any kind of food, so I’m really looking forward to a buffet of interesting/unusual food. DW not nearly as adventurous an eater as me, but she will doubtless find plenty to eat there.
Believe it or not HHN was a much my DW’s idea as mine. Mostly because of The Walking Dead.
The press pot of Kona coffee is definitely part of the reason I want to go! I love good coffee, and historically it’s been difficult to find at the World. I don’t mind Starbucks, especially on vacation when I allow myself to not think about calories at all and can get a frappuccino, but a nice hot coffee with breakfast is more of a challenge!
Coconut rum improves all sorts of things. I’m sure it would make a Dole whip even more delicious. I had one with a regular dark rum at F&G a few years ago that was quite nice.
@mdcorbitt, Make sure to try the watermelon rind salad. It was especially nice.
51 Days! Staying at Yacht Club for the first time and really looking forward to it, but, I’m just as excited to see my sons face when I wake him at 4:30 am and surprise him with a Disney trip the morning we leave! 
Yes, I agree coffee at WDW is still a challenge. I know it has allegedly been changed over to a better kind, but I still found the stuff served at breakfast at most places to be bitter/weak sludge (I thought it quite an achievement to manage to be both bitter AND weak!). The press pot at Kona was really nice though. I also developed a bit of an obsession with flat whites from Starbucks - very good and very like what I make at home.
100% agree with. @theredhead on the watermelon rind salad @mdcorbitt - I love it and even make a version of it at home.
That sounds great - you get to play in storm along bay!!! You’ll have to let us know how the big reveal goes - he is going to be beyond excited!
I am at 233 days until I stay onsite at Old Key West, solo, for the first time, I haven’t been since 2007/2008, so I am very excited to see most of the changes.
Hi @Ellen1976!
61 days until Disney, and like @theredhead, my mom is also willing to spend money out the arse to make this trip as special as possible. We have tons of ADR’s, a day at Discovery Cove, and a deluxe resort for the first half of our trip! I’m so excited!!
Otherwise, Tom and I are going back to my hometown in a few weeks, will spend some time in town with the folks, and then head out to a campground for 4 nights. Tom and I love camping, we’ve gone every summer for the last 3 years, so this will be our 4th camping trip. And none of this “glamping” business either, we sleep in a tent! Haha!
I will let everyone know how it goes! I’m sure he will be so excited he won’t know what to do with himself!
I love OKW - such a nice laid back resort!
So the fantasyland expansion will all be new to you - fun to see it all at once, rather than see it opening in dribs and drabs like I did.
Hi mAly!
Your WDW trip sounds great - I’ve not done Discovery Cove since 2005 when Cal was little, and my mum was paying! You are going to love it!
Hmmm, not sure about camping though - maybe cos it always rains here - if I could be guaranteed sunshine then maybe…
I agree with @Ellen1976, I think seeing all of the New Fantasyland at once will be really exciting for you. You’re going to have so much fun!
@mALYficent, I’m glad I’m not the only one whose mom is spoiling them. Makes me feel a little better! I’m willing to bet that Discovery Cove will be fantastic.
@maegenj, I’m very jealous. You’ll be so close to Epcot, and you’ll have Stormalong Bay. Two very nice things!!
As to coffee, @Ellen1976, I will drink almost any to avoid the horror of a caffeine headache, especially on vacation. Bitter and weak at the same time is quite a feat, though!
78 more days!!! We are staying at AOA! I’m just so excited I can’t wait!
AoA is such a beautifully themed resort. Which bit are you staying in? We stayed in the Little Mermaid section.
We will be in the Lion King suites. It was a toss up between there or the Nemo Suites!! We would have been happy anywhere I think!!!
My countdown is 145. Going with my mom and my sister for 8 days. Staying at POFQ. Getting excited now that the beach trip is finished.
A little trip to London in between sounds great.
@theredhead so happy that your momma is helping you have a more extravagant trip. We moms love to spoil when we can.
@BearsMom2011 your trip sounds really fun!
@mdcorbitt have you done the MNSSHP before? I love that.
@Ellen1976 and @theredhead I am eating dinner at Kona and am looking forward to some fabulous coffee there. I wish I could get it each morning. I can’t quite convince myself to spend that much money on a place to sleep just for great coffee.
I agree about the fabulous food at Boma as well. Also one of my ADRs!
@mALYficent tenting is not for the weak of heart! I can handle it for a weekend. Not much more.
I have not done the MNSSHP before. Pretty excited for that too.
We found that 4 nights is usually the sweet spot. Long enough to relax, but not too long that we’re sick of the tent by the end 
It is soooo much fun. My hubby and I went as Ken and Barbie last year. We had a blast. I hope you are planning on costumes. They parade is one of my favorite events. I am going the Saturday after Thanksgiving this year and am attending the MVMCP this time. Never done this.
Yes, really looking forward to London - it’ll be Ben’s first visit, so very different to adults only, but still fun.
Adults only to POFQ sounds great - I stayed there a few years ago - lovely resort. Agree about the Kona coffee - I’d LOVE to stay at Poly, but don’t want to cram all of us into one room - maybe if at some stage Cal decides he doesn’t want to come anymore and it’s just me, Ian and Ben, we’ll give it a go.
