Tut-Tut, it Looks Like Rain! May '09 Trip Report. *Finished! 9/27 Pg. 69.

Yay you got to meet Mickey!! Oooo all of that food looks delicious!! I love the brown derby, so very good! I'm sorry about the parenting incident, it really does upset you when you see things like that. Too bad Jen had to leave but hey you had a good trip with her (well it seemed that was anyway!) Can't wait to hear what you did solo!!

I am so glad you got to meet Mickey.

I went and spotted the book of signatures of those famous people who have eaten at Brown Derby. I squealed when I saw who it was and started to babble so fast that Jen couldn't understand me.

JULIE ANDREWS! It was like the Brown Derby KNEW I was coming for lunch!

I was in heaven, my beloved Brown Derby, Julie Andrews and Jen. Ahhhh.

I too love Julie Andrews. I loved her book, Home. I wish she would write another one from that point on.


I am sorry you had to witness bad parenting. I always feel so bad for kids who have to go through that, because if they do that in public what must they be like in private.
 
Your update made me laugh out loud more than once! :rotfl:



I don't trust her memory as she is the one who buys the same book twice to read. No joke. It worries me. :laughing:

:rotfl2: Oh too funny! We'll mention something LL if you start posting the same day twice. ;)


VERY cute! And I love your top!


I was like...

BOO! Just because you like to eat people for lunch....

:lmao: Do you like them with ketchup? ;)

Your whole time at Brown Derby sounded so magical- from Julie Andrews to the AMAZING dessert! (I'm just pretending the bathroom ordeal did not happen.:eek: :sad2::sad1:)


This is SUCH a cool light fixture.

And YAY for the Cowboy! Tonight I was going through the very little Disney World video we have done and we have 3 clips of the GMR! I am going to upload them to YouTube for easy access. ;)

Sorry to see Jen leave...:guilty: Thankfully you get to see her again soon!

:lmao: to taking pictures in that store. I always felt like an employee was going to come yell at me when I wanted to take shopping pictures. I don't think the excuse..."But MeMom does it" would get me very far. :rotfl2:

I never did get my blurry dumbo photo. Sigh. I WILL GET IT IN THE FALL.

I will tell you...in the next update. :laughing: I need an evil laughter smiley face. Hehehe.

Oh that is too funny about MeMom!!!

Bummer that you did not get the Dumbo shot. The one from CRT is pretty close though. :goodvibes And just another good reason on why you must go back in October! :thumbsup2
 
Yay for finally meeting Mickey!
OMG. The UP characters are so cute! Hmmm...I wonder if they're in Disneyland.
I love your character quiz results. ;) (Lady Tremaine's in my top 5 favorite Disney characters)
Brown Derby looks delish. It had be drooling. :thumbsup2
Boo for Jen leaving. :( At least you'll get to see her again in September. :woohoo:
 


:cloud9: Brown Derby :cloud9:. Ahh. So glad you enjoyed your meal. How perfect was the Julie Andrews signature?! Love that you got a booth. That just increases the Hollywood glamour, don't you think? I don't know what it is, but there is something about those rolls. *Drool*

Hurrah for finally getting your picture taken with Mickey. Jen- just noticed your special t-shirt. And your visor with the mickey head is cute!! LL- like your shirt too. I'm finding myself obsessing about my wardrobe for our upcoming trip :sad2:- maybe b/c I know with so many of us doing TRs it will be well documented! :laughing:

You finally saw the cowboy! Yippee! I don't know if I've seen that. Not recently, certainly.

Oh, and you're NOT like Lady Tremaine. That's just silly!

Pretty soon the Brown Derby staff assembled and they let a little girl celebrating her 4th Birthday open up the dining room. It's so nice that Disney does these little touches. The little girl looked so happy being singled out and fussed over.


After our great ride, it was time for Jen to leave. We said our goodbyes and I watched her walk from Pixar Place. :sad2: It was hard saying goodbye, who knew when we would see each other again!

Now that I was alone...what would I do?

Looking forward to Snow White in November! :yay:

I hope Disney never loses the small touches like having the kids open places. That's such a simple thing that can't anything on to their operating costs, and it creates special memories for everyone who sees it.

It's great that you found a new friend through the DIS. I'm sure you will have more fun trips together in the future.
 
I'm so glad you updated again! Are you and CP purposely updating on the same nights or is that purely coincidence????????

I love the Mickey picture. That is so awesome. It makes me wish I would take the time to get in some of the character lines. However, I think I am the only one in my group who really cares. I guess that's why I really need a girl's trip.

The cheesecake at the BD looks fabulous. I have a lunch resie there for September. I may HAVE to have that!

The parenting skills in the bathroom are horrible. What a way to make you feel sick on a full stomach. :scared1:

Your scores on TSM are WAY better than mine. Maybe that's why I have decided to bypass TSM FP's for ToT and RnR. I'm not very good and it makes my arm hurt. Boo hoo! Poor me!

I'm really glad that you and Jen got to be such good friends! How truly special that you are so compatible and that you got to have such a great trip together. Bye Jen.......Sorry your time with LL is over! Hopefully this is the first of many trips together. Now let's see who buys DVC first! :laughing:
 


I just read your whole report so far!!!

Love both of your photos and I can;t wait to read more!

(Your poor feet! I hope they got better! :hug:)
 
Hooray for finally meeting Mickey! :woohoo:

Those Up characters are so cute! You definately need to see the movie. Warning tho, you may cry, I did!

Brown Derby is definately on my list of to-dos. That cheesecake looks devine!

I can't wait to see what you do while solo. :goodvibes
 
Glad that you finally got to meet Mickey- and Sorcerer Mickey nonetheless! Great pic with you two.

The food at the Brown Derby looks delicious. I haven't been there in years! Somehow we always got the snobby waiters when we stopped going. I'd love to give it another chance... maybe someday.

Awww... sad that Jen's leaving. Hope the rest of the day is still fun though.
 
Awe! tear, tear So sad to see Jen leave.

Can't wait to hear about your solo day! :goodvibes
 
I am so glad you got to meet Mickey!!!!! What a wonderful way to end your adventure with Jen!!!! I hope they keep up that Snow White stuff in September.....Megan would LOVE to see it!
 
You should really see UP. It is a good movie, I like it a lot. Do you mean you have never seen ANY Mickey, or just not Sorcerer Mickey? I just met Sorcerer Mickey on my 5th trip, but I had met Mickey in many other outfits. It was sad to hear that you had to part with your friend, but at least you got to stay at Disney.
 
I have to admit in all the years I've been going to Disney I've only gotten the Cowboy scene once.. maybe twice?? Isn't that funny?! And it is really strange when you get the different scence cause it's like "Wait.. what's happening... where's the gangster? Why is it all different?" LOVE the cobb salad- and it's quite refreshing on a hot day! :cloud9:
WOW you girls do not fool around on TSM.. look at those high scores! Any hidden tricks you can share to achieving a higher score so I can beat DH? LOL! The only thing I noticed is in one of the first ones theres a bumble bee that flies toward you and if you shoot it you get a bunch of points right in the beginning.
 
Everytime you post pics from the Brown Derby...it makes me want to go there!!!

I was right...you saw Mickey AND Up Characters! Fun!!!

I was so sad as Jen walked away into the sunset :sad2: I know how lonely it is to be alone at DHS.
 
Hi there! I have spent the last 2 days reading your TR and I love it! I can't believe a dedicated Dis-er like yourself had never met Mickey before.
Looking forward to more!
 
I am all caught up over here too. Sounds like you and Jen had lots of fun! Lots of yummy food and fun. Can't wait to see what you and your mom do!
 
Your Mickey pic turned out really cute. I MUST try the Brown Derby! All of your food looked delicious! :thumbsup2 Sorry you had to witness some unDisney behavior. I was also Belle when I took the character test. I was super excited because she is my favorite princess hence my screen name.princess: I am sad to see Jen's part in the TR ending, but I am excited to see what you did next.
 
Yea for meeting Mickey!!:banana: Did you feel like some inner Disney part of yourself was completed when you met him?

Your meal at HBD sounds scrumptious. I love cheesecake, although the grapefruit cake sounds yummy too. I like CP's idea to order one of each!:thumbsup2

YOU Lady Tremain?! Never! I just about spit out my soda when I saw that. The only thing you have in common with the Evil Stepmother is the Lady in front of your name!!

Bye Jen.:sad1: I'm excited to see how you spent your solo time next.
 
Geez, I mean, you just like people for lunch what's the harm in that?! :)

Your lunch looks delish and I want Disney food ASAP!

I hate to comment on parenting choices because believe me I've been pushed to the edge, but when it becomes physical it's too much for me. Sorry you had to witness that.

So sad to see Jen go, but excited to hear about your solo time.
I was really sad to see Jen go but I was still looking forward to my solo time. To be in Disney all by myself to do anything I wanted.....totally awesome.

That salad looks great. I hope someday my kids can behave and we can dine at The Brown Derby. Sorry about the poor parenting... it does make you feel uncomfortable.
I am sure you will make it to Brown Derby someday. It will wait for you. ;)

:lmao::rotfl:

Yeay! You got to meet Mickey! :yay:

Okay, I laughed out loud when I saw this! You are not a Lady Tremaine! :lmao:

Awww, how perfect! Lucky duck! I didn't even recognize the signatures the day we went.

Oh my. I have a serious hankering for Brown Derby now. I wonder if they would think me odd if I ordered all of the desserts for my meal? :laughing:

:eek: How sad!

And here we all were falling all over ourselves trying to convince Jen that the cowboy wasn't a myth -- and she knew all along. :rolleyes:

So sad that Jen had to leave! :(
Hehehe. I thought it was kinda funny that you were all convincing her.
I was so happy when I saw Julie Andrews signature...I almost wanted to go look for her in the dining room! :laughing:

That is so cool the Up characters were out when you were at the Animation Building! I definitely want to meet them. As for the movie, we finally saw it...it's really cute.
Still haven't seen it...at this point I will probably wait until DVD. :rotfl2:

I can't believe that you had never had your pic taken with Mickey!! :thumbsup2 And I actually laughed outloud about the comment you made about your Mom swearing you had when you were 5...too funny!!!:lmao:

Your lunch at Brown Derby looks delish!!! It's almost 11 p.m and now I'm starved...thanks, LL!! LOL!! That poor child in the restroom...no one deserves that and my kids have truly tested my patience from time to time....how sad!!!:guilty: Love the light fixture that looks like a derby, how cool!!!!

I can't believe this is it for Jen's portion of the trip but I'm excited to 'meet' your Mom and hear that portion of your trip, too!!!!:goodvibes
Never had my pic taken! I can't believe it either. What were my parents thinking on the trip when I was 5...oh yeah...I got the chicken pox. :rotfl2:

Yay you got to meet Mickey!! Oooo all of that food looks delicious!! I love the brown derby, so very good! I'm sorry about the parenting incident, it really does upset you when you see things like that. Too bad Jen had to leave but hey you had a good trip with her (well it seemed that was anyway!) Can't wait to hear what you did solo!!
It was a very very good trip with Jen!

I am so glad you got to meet Mickey.

I too love Julie Andrews. I loved her book, Home. I wish she would write another one from that point on.

I am sorry you had to witness bad parenting. I always feel so bad for kids who have to go through that, because if they do that in public what must they be like in private.
I really hope that she continues to write too. I think I read somewhere that it is her intention to write another book picking up where it left off.
