As usual lovin the pics!! It is funny how you got so many of the same pics as we did! Great minds must think alike eh We did the Mickey' s breakfast at PPH back in Oct of last year and really liked it. We were staying at DLH and were eating fruit and muffins every day and we didn't even have a priorty seating but towards the end we decided to try it and I just called and we were able to get in. I think you are right a lot of people don't know about this place cuz it is kind of off the beaten path. We REALLY enjoyed it. Liked the food and the girls had a BLAST with stitch learning the hula etc. It was still Lilo and Stitch at that point but it looks like it is still fun. In fact my siggy pic is from that meal.

Glad you guys had fun and I am off to work today but will look forward to coming home and seeing more updates!!

We did Lilo-n-Stitch before & it really was a lot of fun....so this pretty much the same thing but instead of Lilo....it's Mickey. I missed not seeing Daisy this time......she was at the Lilo-n-Stitch one. We also had more characters this time.

Hope you have a great day!!

I was thinking the same thing how good it is to see them so happy.

I really enjoyed the pictures from the Surf's Up breakfast. I miss Anthony in them but, the twins were amazing at that breakfast. It was a thrill for me to see how much they both seemed to enjoy it. I am sure that you were just over the moon about it.

That sucks about the tickets but it was a good thing they were able to track it and figure it out.

I was excited for the twins as well. I liked how they joined in on the dancing. That was so cute! And Stitch is just the best, isn't he?

It's weird going back & looking at the pictures & not seeing Anthony in them. I was so glad he was feeling better & could join us for the rest of the day!

They love music & love dancing....so was excited to see them join right in!!

We all regrouped up by the water wheel for GRR:

More pics from the Grizzly River area:

Picks from on GRR coming up next!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Ty decided to take his camera on GRR, so these are the pics he got!!:

A couple more on GRR, ToT & Monsters next post!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Last pics of GRR:

The boys took off & headed towards Tower of Terror:

Then they rode Monster's Inc.:

Heading out of DCA:

Cafe Orleans & NOS next!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Everyone met up at Cafe Orleans in New Orleans Square for our 5:20 dinner reservation. Here are a few pics from the area as we waited to be called:

We were show to our table, out on the patio. Here are some pics of the menu & decor:

Next up will be the family & Food Porn!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Here's the family:

*+*+*+*FOOD PORN*+*+*+*

We started with 2 orders of the Pomme Fritas, these are fries with garlic & cheese....delicious!!:

Everyone had a cup of the gumbo:

Anthony had the Macaroni & cheese:

Addy got the Chicken with pasta & marinara sauce:

We ordered 3 of the Monte Cristo's that the 6 adults shared....these are way too rich to eat more than one or two wedges:

A couple more family pics:

For dessert we got 2 plates of the beignets.....yummy!!

2 Pomme Fritas, 6 cups Gumbo, 3 Monte Cristos, 2 Beignets, 8 drinks + Tax + Tip = $166.11 less 15% AP Disc = $146.49
We love this restaurant!! The food is so good & served hot! We absolutely fell in love with Gumbo after having it for the first time here in 2009. The Monte Cristo's are so rich & good...especially when dipped in the berry compote. The kids loved their meals as well & also loved the Pomme Fritas. The Mickey beignets are the perfect ending for the meal. I think the prices for this restaurant are very good & we actually prefer Cafe Orlean's over Blue Bayou. They have the same style of food but much cheaper.

After dinner is next!

 

[DizNee Luver]

After we left the restaurant, I saw this in front of the store across from the Cafe Orleans:

I'm drawing a bit of a blank on what we did right after dinner. I know that Derek, Tyler & I took the twins back to the motel. This is what we saw as we were leaving the park:

Out in the esplanade:

Some of the garbage & filth we noticed this trip......not Disney like to see things dirty & stuff on the ground:

Mike, Betty, Nick, Anthony & Addy stayed & rode rides, shopped & looked around. Mike came back to the motel & left Anthony & Addy with Betty at the gates, so Derek & I could take them to see the fireworks by the castle. We met up with them & then Betty caught the shuttle back to the motel.

 

[DizNee Luver]

Tyler decided to come back over & went into the exhibit at the Great Moment's with Mr Lincoln:

Next up will be the rest of our evening.

 

[DizNee Luver]

A couple more pics from the exhibit:

When Tyler came out....look who he found!:

Derek & I during this time had taken Anthony & Addy up by the castle to find a spot to watch the fireworks. Here are some of the photos I got prior to the show starting:

Next post will have Fireworks!!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Fireworks!!

Catching up with Tyler next.

 

[DizNee Luver]

After the fireworks, we got a text from Tyler saying he was in line for the Matterhorn, so we headed over there to meet him. We found out that he had watched the fireworks from Tomorrowland...so here are his pics:

We went to ride Space Mountain & use some of our Fast Passes, when we got up to the CM he said the FP line was over 30 minutes...so we decided to go ride BTMRR instead. Anthony & Addy were getting cold, so we had to go find them sweatshirts before we did anything else. We ended up over by the castle, so Tyler took the kids thru the Sleeping Beauty walk-thru. He tried to get pictures, but didn't have a lot of luck......but he did get quite a few that I'll put on here:

The end of our Disneyland time up next.

 

[DizNee Luver]

A few more from the castle:

Up by BTMRR before we took our very last ride of the trip:

Everyone was tired, so we decided it was time to say good-bye to Disneyland. We headed back to Main Street where I got a couple more pics.

We did make a stop in the candy shoppe to get a bag full of goodies to take home with us. As we got thru the Disneyland gates, poor Addy was basically sleeping & walking....so Derek picked her up & carried her all the way back to the HoJo. Good thing he's a young strong kid!!

This doesn't mean I'm done. I'm gonna give a review of what we did & what we missed this trip, 2 more travel days, meeting more Diser's, photopass pics & scanned photos we bought during our time there.

I'm so glad you're not done yet. I am going to miss my daily fix of your families trip
