I may not get to reply to all tonight. I'll be back later to finish up.
Hey Brenda.
Y'all look like you had such a great time at DL. I'm sure it's not as thrilling as WDW, but still!
I'm glad we got to talk that night, we talked right before you went and watched the lighting ceremony for the Carsland.
It was the highlight of my day.
Y'all look beautiful as always, I love your cute little dress and sweater combo, so stinkin cute. And of course Em looked gorgeous in her dress, such a pretty dress on her.
And that cake! Did Michael get that for her or did the restaurant make them? I think I remember you telling me Michael may have gone to get it that day with all his other errands.
Thank you for sharing Em's special day with us.
Hi Camille!
Disneyland is great but WDW feels like vacation!
Yes, we chatted right before I headed over to DCA to see the lights turn on.
Thank you. Em bought that dress for her birthday dinner but found that the boning in it to keep it structured was a bit uncomfortable. Fashion over comfort to be sure since it was cute.
You have a great memory! Michael ordered the cake from a local bakery and yes, it was one of the errands that he was running throughout the day.
And if I didn't confess already ....getting ready to get to out the door and to the hotel and then to dinner I was running behind and made the mistake of asking Michael what he'd done all day. Oops! In addition to the cake, he'd been to pick up her ring at the jeweler, got her other small gifts, wrapped them and packed... among other things.
Glad to share!
I love the view from your room, it's so cool!
Your meal looks and sounds wonderful, Em is a very lucky lady
We're celebrating my eldest DD's 18th in WDW but unfortunately for her the actual day is our departure day so most of it will be spent travelling. The only good side is she can have her first legal drink courtesy of BA at 30 thousand feet
Thank you Jo! It wasn't a boring view for sure.
At least your DD gets to end your holiday with a cocktail on the plane!
Very nice!!
Hi Brenda! We're back home now unfortunately, but we had a lovely time at the BC! On check in day, it was in the mid 80's so we did get some SAB time. The last couple days were cold and rainy, but we made the best of it of course. Talking Mickey made my 2 year old's week when he sang and danced the "hot dog song" with her. It brought tears to my eyes, it was so amazing. And now I'm sad because we don't have another trip planned... Good thing I can live vicariously through your reports!
Em's birthday weekend looks great! You're so lucky to have a Disney park so close to you.

Welcome back Jill! Oh, I'm glad you had a good time. Sounds like that mid-80s day was a must do for SAB. I'm sure your DD loved the pool.
I was skeptical of talking Mickey but the interactions that I'm hearing are awesome. How precious that he paid such special attention to your little one. We had talking Mickey try to get our group to be pirates... it was odd but ok, why not.
Alright Brenda I have lurked long enough on your TR's....so I am finally taking the leap and subscribing!
Hi Jenn! Welcome and thanks for joining. I'm so glad that you are here! I just checked out your TR and we were at WDW at the same time in December. I paused to read through your updates through when you arrived so I have to go back and read more.
OOOOKKKAAAYY!!!
So....first off, I'm getting all caught up on the TR.
NEXT......it's a bit away, but we're planning on a Disneyland trip next year! Just my parents and I and all the grandkids. I figured the one adult per child ratio will be good. But I'll be in your neck of the woods.
If someone told me I was seeing the Dream Suite, I would have leapt up and hugged him too!
Good choice on your Dooney! I've agonized on Dooney's forever!
Nice on having it included in your movie contract. I'll have to remember to have them include it in my next one.
The only thing we ever won during the Year of a Million Dreams was magic fast passes. Whomp whomp. My Mom really wanted another DVC contract. LOL.
Just wow. I don't even have words for the suite.
That is all. Haha.
Yay, I'm glad you're doing a DL intermission!
Em looked so pretty at her birthday dinner! The dress is so great.
I can't wait to go back to Disneyland!!!!
You do such a great job at catching up! You don't skim at all!
YAY FOR DISNEYLAND next year.
We MUST get together. I want to be an honorary part of your family for the day since I'd die laughing. Oh my gosh! Let me know!
Yeah, I'm a hugger, that guy didn't have a chance.
It was a wonderful tour and I'm so grateful that Em was there to enjoy it too.
Ha! Yes, the prospect of spending on a Dooney bag automatically makes the selection process that much more difficult.
Em loved dressing for dinner and even more so since she'd just bought that dress for the special occasion.
Happy DL planning!
Thank you for sharing your tour of the dream suite! I'm amazed how many details you were able to capture - including the "botched" photo that shows the detail of the carpet. What a fantastic and magical place - I'm thrilled you and Em were able to experience it!
Thank YOU for reading Jenny.
Ha ha! Yes, that oops photo ended up being great to show the carpet.
Thanks it was awesome.
emmysmommy...
the birthday cake looks beautiful! What flavor was it? Was it good?
Delicious white cake with raspberry filling. Definitely very good!
Not sure if I missed it, but did you bring that cake with you to the restaurant? Looks delicious and pretty!
Okay, i'm such a weirdo, but Em's hair on the Matterhorn...did she do that herself?! LOVE IT! Is that like a french braid? Need to learn how to do this if she did it herself!
Yes, we brought it with us and it was delicious. insert drooling here. My hubby had bell service deliver it to the restaurant and they stored it until we were ready for it. (They wouldn't cut it but that wasn't a problem.)
Em's French braid is no sock bun but yes, that's her own creation!
I can barely braid so I'm glad she's got French braiding skills. I was the mom that could only put her hair in a ponytail. Very sad.
