Thank you so much! It definitely feels good to reach such a big milestone (but it feels better to be done with finals ). I'm also looking forward to reading more updates again.Hi DDW! Glad to hear that your schedule is a little more relaxed now, so we might be hearing from you more again here on the DIS.
Oh, and Brenda reminded me that you had a birthday recently, a very important one, so on the behalf of all of us here on the Live Thread...
HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY !!!
Can you tell that we are all very excited for you???
Sounds like a very exciting weekend! I'm sure that this thread is TONS of work, so you need a chance to relax and celebrate with family.
My brother (21) is over in Italy studying abroad currently. He is having the time of his life and never wants to come home! I'm sure DD#2 will have a fabulous time!
Almost all packed!
Have a great weekend Jabead and thank you for all the hard work you put into this thread.
Barb - Enjoy your family events and I wish your DD all the best as she suffers, I mean studies in Italy. Have a great time at the wedding as well.
We will patiently await the live updates when you resume your duties here!
To all the live reporters...Have a great trip and take lots of photos of your food!
Wow, what a weekend for the Jabead family! I hope it's a wonderful wedding and how exciting for your daughter, what an incredible opportunity! Tell her to feel free to share pics of the amazing food she'll get to eat!
Wow Barb your schedule this weekend sounds crazy. As a mom with 2 kids thousands of miles away I can relate to the "nervous mother" hat. Be sure and take some time to enjoy yourself and have a special Mother's day.
Thanks for posting my pictures from last nights quick dinner at California adventure. Disney has done a fabulous job with Carsland. The first Cars movie has been wonderfully recreated. When California Adventure first opened (I think about 10 years ago) it really was only a 3 hour park. The improvements they have made are excellent and Coolpapa and I find ourselves heading to California Adventure as often as Disneyland these days.
Hopefully y'all will be able to take a trip west one of these days and check it out for yourself.
Just a quick note...my screen name is actually Coolnini. I know.....strange name. I liked your Cool"tini"(thinking mar"tini" here ) much better! Nini (pronounced the same as "tini" with an "n") is what my grandkids call me. Coolpapa and I have 10 grandkids. Our trip to WDW next week is adults only(just the 2 of us). I would love to be able to share WDW with the gkids one of these days.
Love this thread. It has really been so much help trying to decide on ADR's. I have made and cancelled so many reservations it is getting embarrassing. I need to just step away from the computer. I have seen several great reviews of Yachtsmans steakhouse with wonderful pictures. SOOOOOO yesterday I was able to move my Via Napoli to a lunch and got an evening reservation for Yachtsman's. I think we will be 10 pounds heavier when we get home!
Have a great weekend.

Thanks Barb for all that you do for us and God Bless you and your family. BTW I may sneak off to WDW solo on Thursday May 16th for 4 to 5 nights so I may be joining the list of live reporters!! The last weekend of the F&G is calling my name and it's so hard to resist the military salute discount right now!
Thank you so much! It definitely feels good to reach such a big milestone (but it feels better to be done with finals ). I'm also looking forward to reading more updates again.
The news you posted sounds really exciting as well - have fun at the wedding, and I hope your DD has an amazing time in Italy!
As for the updates: that Yachtsman tasting plate for dessert looks incredible! I like how macarons are starting to pop up in a few places across WDW. Cars Land also looks amazing, especially the rock work in the background.
Have an awesome weekend and I am so sorry I couldn't help out this weekend.
