Random Story #2




Whispering Canyon Cafe in Disney's Wilderness Lodge:

I truly didn't mean to follow Random Story #1 with another story about our experience at Walt Disney World, but hey, this story was just too cute not to share....

When our busy family schedules line up, we find that we like to hit The Park really early and then head home when it gets too crowded or too hot, whichever happens first, which these days usually happens at about the same time.

So there is a little thing we like to do to treat ourselves:

We make reservations for breakfast at a little mountain place called "The Whispering Canyon Cafe".








It's inside of this resort,

We have stayed at many great locations at Disney, but the Wilderness Lodge has to be my personal favorite.:

It'll do.

So, besides the amazing view, and the amazing food, there are a couple of other things they are known for; your waitress or waiter are usually hilarious. You're in for a rip-roarin' good time!
Oh, and be sure to ask for some ketchup.

Well, on our last visit, we were the first family who needed ketchup at the table (we usually are as I mentioned, we arrive really early), and we quietly asked our waiter, hoping not to make too big a deal out of it, that we needed some ketchup. Now our waiter Craig, was really mild-mannered, so I thought we were "safe"...... not quite, he brought us a brand new case of ketchup!


And I commented, "Wow, we could build a pyramid, just like the one I saw on Pinterest."

There have been some dining changes at Walt Disney World in terms of menus and pricing, and in this update, we'll share some info on this, and our thoughts:

I didn't think he heard me.

But he returned and said, "I bet you never saw this on Pinterest!"



Oh my goodness, he was dressed as a giant ketchup bottle! It was, AWESOME!

So, while we were at it, Scott asked for a little hot sauce and you guessed it, Craig brought us....



a little hot sauce!


Now Craig sat down with us and chatted. He said he was taking his "Union Break" and he explained that he knows some families really don't want this type of entertainment at a meal and he tries to feel the families out first. Although, I don't really want them to go too, crazy, hahaha, ('cuz what's crazier then a giant ketchup bottle), but we really do enjoy it.

By the way, once we've parked at the resort, we don't have to battle the traditional theme park parking hub-bub. From the Wilderness Lodge, you can catch a very nice boat ride to the Magic Kingdom. 
Yes, the breakfast is "pricey", especially for breakfast, but, we get the all-you-can-eat breakfast skillet and the food is delicious! It's hard to find a restaurant that has food all of us like and we all love it here!

Random Story #1

Since I've only just returned to blogging, I couldn't imagine where to begin, so we'll just call this series of blog posts "random stories".....

It is my opinion that the PhotoPass Photographers are the greatest invention at the Disney Theme Parks!



I only wish I had thought of it myself!

Of course, when I worked there we were still selling film and batteries!

and never even heard of these.


This year, the cost of our Annual Disney Passes increased, but now that our passes include unlimited photo downloads, we stop and visit as many PhotoPass Photographers as we can. I don't mind the price increase.....



Whether it's a cold day or a hot day,


Lord willing, you'll find our family together at The Park.

A PhotoPass Photographer captures moments that I might have missed,









And even allows me to be in the pictures!


I mean, who wouldn't want to remember a moment like this!




Yes Walt, I want to be a PhotoPass Photographer too!

Have a great day y'all.....and take some pictures!
