Perish the thought!
Agreed! The train really makes the show.
That looks like a fantastic spot!
Excellent DISmeet!
Um...yeah...
What the...? No fair!!
Probably not. We know the drill at this point.
I don't even want to think about that. Admission might break the $200 mark!
I'm sure you didn't misread it. I probably just had a brain block because I had originally tried for Christmas and didn't want to waitlist. February isn't going to be too much later so I am fine with that. The points are much higher than the fall, but its all good. Denny loved the place so how can we NOT go back?
I really am excited to spend Christmas time there. All of my stays had been during other seasons. This is going to be very magical. Plus we haven't visited at Christmas since Nick was a junior in high school. It will be 4 years.
Wow - you are going to have to start training for getting up early. That sounds like so much fun. You know - sometimes the short trips are the best because you just power through and you really appreciate every moment. Very fun!
I've done KTTK and the Wild Africa Trek. I also did the segway tour in Epcot before it was canceled. They were all great. I guess my hesitancy is it IS August and even though it starts early in the morning, it could still get nasty hot. I know its not all outside so I'm sure I am just being a baby.
OT here - but has anyone done the Steam Train Tour? I’m interested in doing it this summer, but can’t seem to garner any enthusiasm from Denny. Thoughts?
We practiced our princess pose!
Love the border on this!
I really want to get into grits, really I do, but I just can't get past the texture! I've always heard so much good things about them I decided to try them at a Cracker Barrel in PA one year, and they really did not taste good. Maybe it was their grits that didn't taste good and are better other places?? I don't know.
Every time I see the mayor, I always think of @emmysmommy and how hands on he is!
I have a few of these shirts and gotta set the record straight for this lady - you're either supposed to go bra-less or wear a decorative bandeau, usually it's that latter. Grossness alert: My back sweats the most of all places, , so these shirts are heaven for me. For reals! It's also less embarrassing because it doesn't show sweat spots
Uh, definitely the best view ever!
How cute, they did match!
Aw love this photo of you laughing!
Please stop now. You're beautiful!
Cupcake for breakfast is the correct way to celebrate for sure!
Facebooking I see
Cute!
Love this one!
This one is definitely my favorite of you two! You both look totally happy and in your element
Fun Dismeet!
Ick.
They're so lucky!!!
Cool perspective. You always have the best photos.
Told you! Always have the best pics!
We are on the Dream from the 7th to the 11th and then at WDW from the 11th to the 16th, so I'll just miss you.
Looks like a great morning full of DISmeets and coasters!
Great Dis-meet!
Um... it's big. And green. And, well, I'm glad that they've got it done. Can't wait to see it all!
That's no fair!!!!!!
That's alright. I don't think I've ever edited a single picture that I've uploaded for a TR.
You don't have to twist my arm.
Not as much as I do!
Are you SERIOUS? Our cruise is from the 9th - 13th. We are on the 4 night Magic out of Miami. We really liked the Dream cruise and 4 nights was a good length for us. We had a double dip so we got off the ship all three days. I liked that. The magic cruise hits key west in addition to Nassau and CC. I thought seeing Key West would be fun and I liked the price on the cruise. Unfortunately, our WDW stay is before the cruise. Boo!
Caught up! So funny that I just read your dinner at Olivia's post when you had shrimp and grits, just after posting my lunch at Vic's.
Wow, that lobster crepe at Cindy's breakfast looks phenomenal!
Great updates ladies! Cynthia, I have to agree with you on the boring mug shot. I mean mug picture. It's just a bit plain compared to your usual mug pictures. But, as you said, at least it was a boring mug at Walt Disney World!
The pictures of you two at Cinderella's Royal Table are adorable! I love the different faces....smiling, perplexed, laughing out loud. Love that you two could have so much fun at what most don't typically think of as an adult place to dine.
Great updates, gals. Cynthia, I love your dress and you and MEK are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad.
I'm glad you got to meet Alicia, hubby and Landon.
It doesn't matter which order you rode them, you have pictures that proved you did ride them. I LOVE Big Thunder...it's a must do every trip.
I remember when you all got the Gift Card and pirate ornament for TarzensKat.
Caught back up again. Fun Dis meet! Landon is a cutie patootie!
What a lovely gift for your Dis Friend!
Jill in CO
All that matters is that you're going back I LOVE that resort!!!
To me the WL feels like what Christmas should be. All woodsy and that huge fireplace. One year I'll definitely have to stay there during the holiday season.
Oh no, no getting up early! My friend is one of those 'takes an hour to get ready' people. I don't want to rush her and her hate me for pushing her on vacation. And you know I don't like to get up early. We'll see how it goes. We'll have a fabulous time I have no doubt of that.
August will be super hot! Maybe do it another time. But then again early morning shouldn't be too bad. That's a tough one.
Great update ladies!! I don't know how you take pics during the ride (BTMRR). I've got white-knuckle fever from hanging on tight!! I'm also scared I'm going to hit my head on BTMRR too, especially when passing under the "bones". I can see the headlines now...Mississippi man loses his head on BTMRR over ribs! Some redneck from home will read it and say, "Daisy May, I didn't know you could eat on that thar ride...I mite have to try it!"
KK- just read about 13 pages -since the run ... and so my thoughts are all a bit stream of conscious (but that's not that different from my normal MO anyhow
ME-so sorry about Jewels - I saw that on FB and was sorry for your loss- they really are like family aren't they?
Also sorry about the pipes & Denny's flight- we were having some wicked weather in these parts around then- it was a wicked wicked winter - I'm so glad it's over...
& OMG woman- you are so hard on yourself -YOU COMPLETED A BLOOMING 1/2 marathon- THAT's Totally Amazing... What an awesome accomplishment with so much work behind it (Personally I'd be thrilled to do the 10K... which could be fun- since it's been too long since I've been there...
Cynthia-Congrats on your time- that's absolutely fabulous- you should be absolutely thrilled - loving the medal collection too:0
I know what you mean about the caffeine and carbs with your cronut -(which believe it or not I have not despite my food-i-ness have never tried)
oh-btw-don't you know if you stay at the Kimptons often ...I know you did in SF- we just stayed in one in Savannah - really lovely....
To both of you- YOU ATE in Cinderella's Castle? Awwwwww.... I haven't been in there since Emily was little- makes me want to go...
I could go for a rita from the Ditch right now...
Your castle-y breakfast looked great with the primo table- who wouldn't love a view like that?! Your morning time smiles have me so amused tonight; and I see the tradition of coffee on balconies continues on. Lovely!
Such a bummer that you JUST missed the soft openings, but it won't be long for either of you. So far a great morning, although the construction made for some truly crappy views.
Proud to say that I am finally caught up here too!
Loved to read about starting your day at CRT. Breakfast looked yummy! And it looks like you were off to a stunning day - DIS meet sounds awesome!
We have been on the Steamtrain tour. And although it started out super early we loved it a lot. Got to see all the trains and climb on board an engine, then road the first train in, the one that takes the characters lateron - we were real early for our round! Got to learn all about how they got their trains and lots of detail. Fun tour!!!!!
Just LOVE this!!!!!!!!
I just have to say, I love both of your morning routines. Mary Ellen, you take the best morning run shots, and Cynthia, I always love seeing your new Disney coffee cup out on a balcony.
That table, though..you did a good job keeping everything on it.
It's so strange that the clock did not have any hands. I wonder how many other guests notice that throughout the day?
Looks like a fun interaction with Cinderella. You both have the princess pose down pat!
Hmm, that lobster dish just keeps looking more and more appealing.
Oh, hey our DISmeet! It was so great meeting both of you. I'm glad our schedules alligned and we could.
I
Space, Splash, and Big Thunder in one morning, sounds like a pretty fun MK day!
I
Your ride photos from Thunder are great. The loading station ones really made me wish I could go for a ride right now.
We were supposed to be at WDW now, but with Fran falling and fracturing her leg, we had to cancel.
I have never been on the big ships and that's what we really wanted to do, so for rebooking I only looked at the Dream and Fantasy. I really wanted the Fantasy, but they didn't have any verandah staterooms left of on the cruises I wanted to take so we went with the Dream. I really want to go to Remy. I also want to go back to CC, we were last there in 2001, I think a lot has changed.
So now, I just have my birthday weekend to look forward to as Disney get togethers and the 60th anniversary of Disneyland in July. Not shabby, but I did want 11 days at WDW and on the Dream starting last Monday. I guess I'll take my little two day get aways until we get our Baja Cruise on the Wonder this Fall and then finally get back to WDW in December.
Were you able to take many pictures?
Still. It WAS coffee, I WAS on the back patio/deck and I WAS in WDW on Vacation!!!!!!!!!! These are magical things.
Once seated...Oh the VIEW!
It was seriously the best table in the house. We felt so lucky but you know, in thinking about it, I bet there aren't a lot of parties of two that go there and that may have upped our odds.
the leaded glass though made it a little hard to take pictures that did the view justice
As I mentioned In Mary Ellen's update, I will have no problem handing in my Man Card to eat in the castle just once. Especially at a table with a view like that.
It was so great to meet Alicia, Alex, and Landon. And how great that I got to meet them again in February!
Who ARE those people?
Why Cast Members Of Course!
Can you say JELLY?????? Ouch. That hurt!
But no time to dwell on our misfortune or poor timing or whatever you want to call it. We had an errand to run. A former DISer (I’ll call her former because she doesn’t post on the DIS boards anymore) had just lost her grandmother. It was sudden and completely unexpected and coincided with a solo trip she had planned to the world.
So in true DIS fashion another former DISer started an on line collection.
OMG! I just LOVE this ride!
Cynthia, I have to agree with you on the boring mug shot.
We did not take enough! But they did encourage us to take pics when we climbed into the "driver's" seat of the trains - and we took quite a few in the "barn". It was a really great tour and you will get a neat pin at the end.
That really is an awesome view!!!
Love your entrée choice too. Looks really rich and decadent.
Pretty super gal pal morning so far.
Me thinks it is now time to get your rides on!
:
@DisneyKid4Life Rob- I have lost track- have you finally eaten at a table service restaurant yet (not looking for spoiler alerts if you haven't gotten to it in your current TR) or is your CS-only streak still intact. That factoid amazes me (and saddens me a little)
Dis meet! What a cutie Landon is!
And I thought my job perk of being able to hand feed goats and a donkey was cool!
That is just awesome. "Typical day at work today. Riding 7DMT"
That is really sweet. for bringing people together like that.
Me too! Me too!!!
Great pictures. All of them, but I especially like the mist ones.
@mickeystoontown I see what you did there, Lisa!
