Hi everyone! I've had a long and busy week with no DisBoard time. I have spent time with our son and his wife so I hope you can forgive my lack of updates lately. Since our weekend is full of family activities before he heads back to Texas before he deploys, I will likely only get a few updates done. (Crossing fingers.) And then... I have a conference in Vegas most of the week so I will not have time to update much if any while there. Sigh....
Hi Becky! Linda was awesome - the gifts were so perfect!
It's so funny about DL food, I don't get too excited over it since we mostly snack while there. They do have some good choices but nothing like WDW!
Just the smell of the pomme frites with the garlic and parmesan was wonderful!! Glad you know how lovely they are as well!
Linda knows me so well since the mug was perfect!!! All of my favorites and really who I am.
Thanks Carol! Glad I could share this Dismeet with my other DisBoards pals!
Hi Barb!! Glad that I eventually remembered to send the pictures. We were so busy chatting that I almost forgot. By the time I sent them it would have been dinner-time for you.... thanks for hosting them on the live thread!
Hi Kathy! Thanks! Honestly, I think many signatures don't really have a dressed up vibe - especially the park signature restaurants. But heck, you are on vacation, I can understand his logic!
Hi Alliebelle! What a great place to choose to eat on your honeymoon! If you want to find the back observation deck walk past the elevators towards the bathrooms and go straight back past the banquet room. It was a great un-crowded deck.
Hi Rachel - I hope you are enjoying your trip right now!!! Yes, Linda nailed it with the mug since everything was absolutely perfectly spot on about me!
Awwww Linda! My adorable Dis-Brit buddy! I'm so glad that you loved WOC - they really do a great job. If you were in the VIP/front row you may have gotten a little wet.
Barb you more than have your hands full!!! Linda talked about end of Oct/beginning of Nov. next year. We'll see if this can work out because that would be so amazing.
Hi Tracy! Ha! That would be so funny to throw down your wishing star on Eilee!!! After her stunned look I'm sure she would put down the phone if for nothing else to roll on the ground laughing!
I had to laugh at your Halloween comments regarding the trick-or-treaters and not having enough candy. I had the opposite problem, too much candy and not enough kids. I ate so much candy corn and snickers that I never want to see those again!
Glad you liked the cookies. It's so funny but now that I think about it I said you were Minnie sized and you have a Minnie bag!!! Once again, it was lovely meeting you!!
Thanks!!!
Hi Marie! Glad you are caught up and can now add some places to your list! Enjoy your weekend!
Hi DDW! Yes, we had a wonderful time (with Linda I mean) and yes great time spent with my son. Thanks!It's so exciting that you and Linda had an awesome time in Disneyland! Cafe Orleans looks really good, and that gift basket is incredible!
I hope Linda is still having a great time in Cali, and that you enjoy the next few days with your son and his wife.
Awww, what a wonderful update and DISmeet! The photos of you two are lovely, and those gifts are SO thoughtful! I've seen very few pics of DL food but what I have seen looks delicious, and your lunch is no exception!
Hi Becky! Linda was awesome - the gifts were so perfect!
It's so funny about DL food, I don't get too excited over it since we mostly snack while there. They do have some good choices but nothing like WDW!
What a wonderful update! I loved those Pomme Frites. May have been my favorite thing that we ate in DL!
What a great UK gift bag! Really love that mug!
Just the smell of the pomme frites with the garlic and parmesan was wonderful!! Glad you know how lovely they are as well!
Linda knows me so well since the mug was perfect!!! All of my favorites and really who I am.
How wonderful you got a chance to meet and share a meal with Linda! You have a lot in common as you're both lovely ladies who write wonderful dining reviews. I really enjoyed reading about your DISmeet, thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks Carol! Glad I could share this Dismeet with my other DisBoards pals!
Outstanding review of your Cafe Orleans lunch and DISmeet with Linda! I am so very glad that you remembered to send me the pics. I told my DH they I wouldn't leave the house to go shopping with him until I had received and posted your update. So it would have been a long night at home waiting if you had forgotten.
And btw, I haven't heard anything from Linda today. Hmm...I wonder if she is still at the Tiki Bar?
Hi Barb!! Glad that I eventually remembered to send the pictures. We were so busy chatting that I almost forgot. By the time I sent them it would have been dinner-time for you.... thanks for hosting them on the live thread!
Your dinner at Cali Grill looks wonderful, and you guys look beautiful all dressed up (one of the reasons I'll never get Mark to a signature restaurant...he refuses to dress up on vacation).
And for a DIS meet, and at Disneyland for lunch yet.
Hi Kathy! Thanks! Honestly, I think many signatures don't really have a dressed up vibe - especially the park signature restaurants. But heck, you are on vacation, I can understand his logic!
Wow! What an amazing California Grill dinner! We're eating there for the first time on our honeymoon and I really can't wait after reading this.
Is the door to the observation deck hard to find? If we don't get a window seat I definitely want to make sure we get out to the observation deck!
Hi Alliebelle! What a great place to choose to eat on your honeymoon! If you want to find the back observation deck walk past the elevators towards the bathrooms and go straight back past the banquet room. It was a great un-crowded deck.
Wow, best present ever!!! She is so thoughtful and I can't believe she made that mug for you!
Hi Rachel - I hope you are enjoying your trip right now!!! Yes, Linda nailed it with the mug since everything was absolutely perfectly spot on about me!
I'm here, I'm here
I've finally got back to my hotel room (I think I have spent all of 10 minutes here)
Brenda, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and I really enjoyed our time together. I really do hope we get to meet again some time - we need to get a dining boards DIS meet in WDW organised!
Oh and the gifts you got for me were just awesome, I've packed them away but as soon as I get home I will post a photo
World Of Color was AMAZING by the way
Awwww Linda! My adorable Dis-Brit buddy! I'm so glad that you loved WOC - they really do a great job. If you were in the VIP/front row you may have gotten a little wet.
I love that idea, Linda! Okay, who wants to be in charge of organizing it? I'd volunteer but I've got my hands full with the Live Update thread these days.
Barb you more than have your hands full!!! Linda talked about end of Oct/beginning of Nov. next year. We'll see if this can work out because that would be so amazing.
That mug is the cutest thing ever!! I love it!!
Your meal at CG sounds excellent - I'm so glad you liked it! We were not there at Wishes time but that must have made it even more amazing. I'm smiling about Emily's wishing star...because I carry mine around in my purse as well! I'm not sure why but I can't bring myself to take it out. I've never thought of redeeming it for a real wish. Perhaps I can bring it out and tell her that I "wish" she'd stop texting so much!
Hi Tracy! Ha! That would be so funny to throw down your wishing star on Eilee!!! After her stunned look I'm sure she would put down the phone if for nothing else to roll on the ground laughing!
I had to laugh at your Halloween comments regarding the trick-or-treaters and not having enough candy. I had the opposite problem, too much candy and not enough kids. I ate so much candy corn and snickers that I never want to see those again!
As promised, here is a photo of the super cute and wonderful gifts that the lovely Brenda gave to me at our DIS meet
Aren't they lovely?
And so very kind
I also had some delicious cookies but they were too good to resist and were eaten before I remembered to take a photo
Thanks again for a wonderful lunch and these perfect gifts Brenda xx
Glad you liked the cookies. It's so funny but now that I think about it I said you were Minnie sized and you have a Minnie bag!!! Once again, it was lovely meeting you!!
Loved reading about your meal together, Linda and Brenda!
Thanks!!!
I've been playing catch-up! I keep reading on the I-Pad but have no idea how to comment (or even if I can!)
Grand Floridian Cafe looks amazing and will defo have to make the list on our next trip - especially for that dessert sampler.
I now really feel the need for some eggs benedict after seeing the wonderfulness of them at WCC. I'd quite like to follow my eggs with the breadbowl dip from LTT, but have to say I would prefer them not to cut my flatbread up into little bits! Now this is where it falls apart - what happened to the ooey gooey toffee cake
But nevermind, because I am now fixating on the Pork Tenderloin from Cali Grill
Hi Marie! Glad you are caught up and can now add some places to your list! Enjoy your weekend!
