Which lens did you decided on?
I know what you mean by the telephoto lens for the dark rides since it is hard to auto focus on the ride. There were a lot of misses with it when I used the f/4 & 2.8.
I ended up deciding on the Sigma 1.4 35mm lens.
No problem. DAW and I are planning on having a great time during the CP weekend in which it will be busy. We also made a ressie for the Carthay Circle Restaurant on Friday. I don't think you will want to go during the Avengers Marathon Weekend. Last year was crazy when DAF and I went and I would guess that it will be the same next month.
I think I just saw you are adding a surprise trip this weekend.
When I looked on google map and saw where the restaurant was located, I remember that restaurant which is close to the Long Beach Convention Center. When I was at the LBCC for an event a few years ago and tried to look for any good restaurants in the area, this was one of them. But the restaurant was full that night. If there are some non meat food at 555 East American Steakhouse then DAF will might want to try it. They do have seafood, pasta and chicken which is good.
You and Fran will. I will have to try a
DCL one day.
Yes the steakhouse is really close to the LBCC, I'm pretty sure they have seafood and I know we brought a vegetarian friend and she ate spinach, mashed potatoes and something else like asparagus. Not that exciting, but I think they do have seafood on the menu as well.
Premier Pass will be $1439 please madam... Cha ching.... That's a little bit more of the Frozen attraction paid for...
That's a lot of money.
I'm seeing a China Dis-trip forming! I'm in!
Well the park needs to open before we schedule a trip!
Caught up again.
I so wish we were able to meet up with you guys on our upcoming trip, but so happy to hear about your relaxing cruise coming up- sleeping in, drink and spa sounds fabulous.
Enjoyed the Expo update, we look forward someday to visiting the other Disney parks- DLP would be exciting for sure, nice that you have it on the horizon.
I know, We come back on the 23rd, and I don't see us being able to get out there soon, but will you have a wireless connection? You never know what could happen!
We are actually really starting to look into France, not only DLP but Paris and I really want to visit the Loire Valley.
Any "must do" tips for our upcoming trip? it's been 5 years since we've been to DL so going to be a busy week for sure!
I would say see Aladdin, eat at Big Thunder Ranch, and make sure to see Fantasmic! We plan on doing a "date night" with all three once we get back from the cruise. All of them will be gone come January.
I'll meet you guys in Shanghai Disney! Let's start planning!!!
Well as I said to Jill, the park needs to open first! They are behind schedule so no planning until it actually opens. I don't want my heels getting stuck in the asphalt!
Great updates Alison. I enjoyed seeing more of the parade and fireworks. But I understand seeing it 5 times you were getting ready for a break.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have this past summer, I did get a little over immersed, but I think I may have seen it more than 5 time, that might have been the count prior to this trip.
The Expo looks too cool as always. Glad you were able to do some things even though you didn't get the tickets you wanted. I'm super excited about Shanghai Disney, loved seeing all the details.
It is really cool. I'm glad we went just for one day. I also would have hated to have NOT been to all of them after having been to all the previous ones.
Looking forward to seeing you next week!
Definitely looking forward to seeing you again next week! We're cleaning the house like crazy!
Sorry I've been MIA for so long! I've been swamped at work lately.
I have to say, I'm fascinated by the displays for Shanghai DL. The Pirate-themed land and new ride looks so cool! I can't wait to see what they actually do with it. And the idea of the Tron-cycle coaster is really intriguing, too. What's the cheapest way to get to China? Swimming?
You have been swamped at work and home! I completely understand! I hope that you found some folks to help you clean out the FIL's house!
There are so many things that sound cool at Shanghai Disney. I think you need to put aside some funds from your father in law's place and you and Julie should just splurge and check it out. You deserve it! And actually fly, not the slow boat to China!
I always thought it was a slow boat to China.
But there's always the long detour via Australia to get there.
I think they each deserve their own trips. I'm hoping to put ours to Australia on the books soon!
