The tonsil infection is as good as gone now, but thank you for the tip, although I suspect that's more for the bacterial version, rather than the viral version. :)
As for new Phantom Manor Merchandise, I don't think so, there were some unfamiliar items, but as my last visit was 2 years ago I don't know if those were actually new, or I just didn't remember them being there. ;)

I'm doing just fine now, the stitches came out over 2 weeks ago, and the wound had healed up very nicely. :)
So no worries, full recovery was made. ;) Same goes for the viral tonsilitis, that was mostly gone 2-3 days after I woke up with it.

The DLH is a wonderful place to stay indeed, they were busy tearing out the carpets along the main corridors when I left, so I suppose that will look nice and new fairly soon. :)

Great trip report!

I actually saw your post in the Bistrot Chez Remy thread about missing it because you'd sent yourself to hospital, so I looked here to see if you'd written a trip report. It sounds like even with the delays, accidents and illnesses you had a good time and managed to get a lot done

I had an amazing time and indeed got a lot of things done, the accident cost me half a day and a visit to Chez Remy, but beyond that did little damage to my trip, and the tonsil infection was on my final morning, so it didn't really spoil too much. ;)

Glad the rest of your stay went well, but what a shame, waking up with a throat infection on the last day! :( At least they dealt with it very well!
Great to see your photos too - and thanx for posting the food ones on the food photo thread too! I'm sure people will be delighted to see them there! That dessert looks spectacular!! :)

I deeply regret not having my phone or camera on me on my first visit to the California Grill, the dessert for the Premium Plan menu is a gorgeous Olaf statue made from fondant, icecream and a meringue decorated with chocolate. :D
Not having a photo of that is a bit of a bummer, but it was delicious. ;)

The stay itself was wonderful, and I greatly enjoyed it.
I'm actually considering a trip to WDW for next year, to get another dose of Disney magic.

I know, I was thinking that while reading the report - what a shame you didn't get a photo of it - hey, you should have asked the lady on the next table, who you advised to get it... (Excuse me, can I just take a photo of your food.... hahaha... That would have gone down well... ;) )
We are going again in a month, so will be adding to the food photo collection - sadly not going to the California Grill though... Hopefully someone else will be able to provide us with a photo of Olaf. :)
Oooh, WDW!! I would LOVE to go there... But for now the funds will only stretch to DLP I'm afraid. Still hoping for that lotterywin. I will be doing a tour of all the parks in the world, if that should ever happen... One can  always dream...! :-[

Well, the lady was still picking out the food she wanted to order, they wouldn't have gotten to the dessert for at least another hour or so, and I was already on my own dessert. ;D

That's probably one of the biggest unwritten benefits of being on your own, I can go eat at a table service restaurant and be out again in under and hour. ;)

As for your dream, keep that one alive, you may never know if you'll be able to do it one day.
