(Drool) i see the flake bars which are yummy but do i also see club bars in that fridge????

I spy Penguins!!!!! Have you ever bitten off opposite corners of one and then sucking tea through it (like a straw)?? I know it sounds disgusting, but if you haven't tried it YOU MUST!!!
I get my mom to send me some a few times a year just so I can do it!

Lol! We're an hour south of Buffalo and we'll be in the POR pool in 2 weeks! It looks like we're in a snow shaker right now!

We're there 6-14th!!! See you at the pool - you won't miss us, we'll be the only other people thawing out with you!

 

[cheryterese]

As long as our flight isn't delayed by a snowstorm......

My big fear. That and sick kids (we've had puking kids on both of our previous trips).

Woohooooo!!!! Just talked to one of the most incredible CMs EVER on the reservation line. She was so helpful & such a joy to speak with. She knew her stuff and just made the whole experience so magical!

We changed our room only rez to the Stay/Play/Dine package and are staying in our Royal Rooms!!!!

I really thought we would have to give those up since they weren't avail on the website! But the CM managed to sprinkle pixie dust our way and we are now in a Garden View RGR.

Don't want to share details here - but it has been a rather difficult time since our little one arrived so this is AWESOME!!!

YAY!! Big hugs! Take LOTS of pictures of your room/view/etc... We don't stay in our Royal Room until June, and I need pics to help pass the time Ha!

(sorry, chocolate is not supplied free)

Andre

Mmmm......Cadbury Flakes!!



Oh, and to all those northerners posting about the 60 degree pool weather....
I live in SC (although I was born and raised in PA, so I know COLD.) If you're going anytime soon I just want to forewarn you that we've had a cold front come through this past few days. Last week at this time it was 80 degrees. Today, it was 60 and dropping. I just don't want you to get your hopes up too high We LIVE in flip flops year round, and today was bordering on being too cold for that. Granted, FL is usually a little warmer than us, but I just wanted to let you know

Andre - In the event you forget your passport, I think Cadbury chocolates would be sufficient proof of British citizenship. That or a Roxy Music LP.

What????? No Ambrosia of the Gods which is also know as clotted cream???

..and where are the baked beans????

 

[andrewilley]

..and where are the baked beans????

We actually used to bring a few tins of Heinz Baked Beans with us when my DD was younger, and a much fussier eater. Beans'n'chips (translation: "baked beans with a side of fries") was her favourite meal.

There is currently a Groupon for the Characters in Flight Balloon ride in Downtown Disney. $20 for two people-it's normally $18 per person so it's a good deal. saw it on the all ears newsletter. You can only get it tonight and it expires on May 31st.....for anyone going between now and then since Downtown Disney is somewhat nearby with the boat and all from Riverside!

Praying lots over here for warm weather when we get there. Sunshine is good for the soul

If not, I think the full DVD set of Coronation Street would seal the deal.

(Andre, my grandmother is from England - came over as a war bride and my dad was born there. I spent many evenings with her watching Coronation Street. LOL)

And of course marmite. Always started the day with dad having his marmite on toast.
