So sorry to hear about your SIL.
Thanks Luv.
I haven't been to CP in years but I remember it was amazing. I love holiday Illuminations too.
Jill in CO
I agree completely!
So Sorry to hear about your SIL, prayers being sent.
Thank you very, very much.
I really want to do the CP one of these days. I went at Christmas a few times and for some reason never knew about it until maybe 3-4 years ago, I had thought it might be new but looked it up and it has been around for years.
Yes- forever! Gary Sinese did it the first year- and told them he would be back always to do it because it was so powerful- I think they said he has missed one year since then.
Dinner at La Hacienda looked great! We plan to try one of the Mexico restaurants on our next trip.
I definitely liked this food better than San Angel- but the ambiance of the other can't be beat!
I'm so sorry to hear about your SIL.
Thank you Alison.
The meal at Hacienda looked amazing, we enjoyed our tequila lunch there during F&W and I'm looking forward to having a meal there sometime. We love Mexican food and I enjoy something besides the regular old taco joint.
I remember your tequila lunch- I am hoping to talk my friends into that or the sake one (if they have it again) or one in France when we go in Oct!
The CP sounds amazing, we've seen it at DL, but never been to WDW at Christmastime so never had the chance.
Is it the same event? I hope to go to DL for the holidays someday- definitely on my bucket list!
Sorry to hear about your SIL Ellen. Prayers to her and your entire family.
Thanks, Chris. I appreciate it.
Loved the fireworks at EPCOT this year. Especially the Holiday version. Very good. And your photo of the fountain in France is beautiful. EPCOT is just the coolest park.
YES IT IS!!!! My favorite!
And we love Crew's Cup Lounge. We visited a couple of times and the special drink they were serving, Santa's Little Helper, was wonderful! I may of had 2 or 3 while we were there. Yummmmm.
That drink looked yummy! But I was only having one, and that one HAD to be the Gran Marnier drink (I was not up for 5 in a half hour yet like I would be later in the trip with YOU, lol....)
So sorry to hear about your sister-in-law! Will say some prayers for her!
Thank you Melanie! We really do appreciate that!
We love Hacienda too. We usually split the meal that Pods and your son (forgot which one ) split. DH loves meat - me not so much but I do love the corn on that platter! And we went to the CP on our trip in 2012. I absolutely loved it! It is on the list for our trip in early December this year. My best friend's family is joining us in December and I know she will love it too
He split it with timmy- because Timmy is a slightly picky eater, but he will ALWAYS eat meat. How exciting! You are going at Christmas time AGAIN, and with FRIENDS!
And now I know why I don't let DH read trip reports - he is a teacher too and we are soooo ready to leave Iowa. He would be thrilled to be a bartender down there. He has done a little for a friend who owns a bar/restaurant and he loves to just meet new people and talk! But we need to wait until DD is off to college because she would never leave her friends here....
Bill had nothing but GREAT things to say, you may want to reconsider.... or at least go in there for a drink in December and hear it for yourself.....
Can't wait to read more!
I so wish we had met!
I'm so sorry about your SIL.
Thank you so much- it really means alot.
The Candelight Processional does look lovely. I know its something I would enjoy, though I'm not sure the kids would sit still for it. I'm not even sure Mike would sit still for it...he's almost as bad as they are!
So is Pods, and he enjoyed it- different for kids, though.
I wanted to try La Hacienda, but some of the menu items looked like they might be way too "authentic" Mexican food for my family. These guys are used to the fajitas and tacos you get at Chili's and Moe's!
I think that's ok- Timmy's definition of Mexican is ground beef with taco seasoning and a small sprinkling of cheddar cheese on a taco shell- and he really enjoyed the meal. So ya never know!
