Enjoyed the update but I couldn't view photos I don't know why. I can see the one Denise posted! I feel robbed. I will visit again maybe it's my ipad resource issue.

Oh wow! I'm totally envious. Really wish I could just pop over and visit you *just like that*. But at least I get to catch up in 2D.
I miss him on the Dis too. I don't follow his TRs on the private forum either.
So cool!
Hi Denise. Looks like you had an awesome time with the group!
I still dream of that Melting Pot meal! It was a great meal. Looks like you had another fantastic time there as well.
Oooh! I need to find out the bus route and number!

It worked out to be a great couple days!
Yes we were able to get VIP tour guide which is why we were able to get in so many rides. The Diamond martini is my favorite there! Yes, and I'm glad Corinna was able to get to the Melting Pot with us, we all enjoyed it very much!
Good to know! I didn't remember!
I hope you can see the photos now!

It was a great day, we had a lot of fun!
I wish you could too! It would be much more fun!

I know so many folks who have left the DIS to write TRs elsewhere and I just don't have the time to follow folks if they don't show up in my "watched threads". I can't even keep up with my watched threads.
So cool!
Thanks for posting Denise, we DID have a great time!
Yes we did, it is always an awesome meal. As long as you are really hungry!
I think it was 52, but it's really easy to find. It goes right from Katella outside the Paradise Pier hotel to the VA hospital across the street from that Ralphs that went out of business shortly after your visit.
What fun!!! All those great rides, and great company to bootand the Melting Pot dinner looked scrumptious. We would do regular fondue dinner with my grandparents when they lived down here. I have very fond memories of fondue
We had a great day and it was so nice to get together again so shortly afterwards for a fun dinner.
Hi Princess!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!

52? That's a good route and close!
Hmmm. Knowing me, I'm more inclined to get on the 42 by mistake! (....Life, the universe and all that!!).

Yeah this morning I am gifted with sight and photos! Man I hate missing out on photos. Looks like a lovely day at DL. Do I see a flash of plaid with the lovely Corinna? Nice photo of you Alison on TSMM. I am and will always be a beaver! Us beavers need to stick together. But you know it's still my favorite ride!
Melting pot holy moly. Yes please. Great pics.

At least you're consistent.
What?? That's the only way to do it!!
It certainly looks delicious.
I'm glad you got to spend some more time together at the Melting Pot. Doesn't necessarily look like my type of thing, honestly. It would be great for dessert, but I'd rather just let the chef prepare my meal. If it is supposed to have cheese on it, put cheese on it. Don't make me figure out what it is supposed to be!

Well you normally hire a car when you visit so no need to worry!
It was a lovely day. I hope you are doing OK! Is your trip still on or has it been postponed / canceled?
Well I have that going for me.
What?? That's the only way to do it!!
No, there is the locals way of doing it where you do not tire yourself out and become super exhausted.

You know one of my other favorite restaurants is a Shabu Shabu place. Same concept different continent of origin. It's Japanese and they put you in front of a pot of boiling water, serve you a plate of raw meat, vegetables and some sauces/seasonings. You cook the meat yourself and in the process create a delicious soup.

Sounds like you had a lovely time with Corinna and co. And the Melting Pot has been on my list for quite some time now since I first read about it in a trip report from WDW many years ago. I love fondue in all its variations (actually chocolate is my least favorite), but I am not sure about having different types in one day. We often have a fondue for New Years Eve at home, it is a bit of a German tradition to have it for New Years Eve or Christmas Eve. I guess it is more of a modern tradition that started in the 70s when fondues became popular.

We cancelled the cruise part of our vacation Alison but we are still hoping to come to WDW. Consultant did not like the idea of being out to sea! We are very sad at loosing the cruise but it's getting better that matters Jo tells me. Jo managed to phone and get the cruise date nights at accomodation at WDW. She got the last accessible room left at Disney so we were lucky. All Stars.
We are just hoping now I am ok to fly. We are packing for it in the hope! Thanks for asking.

I am all caught up again. I spotted this the other day, but wanted to wait until I had time to properly enjoy it. I am now officially on vacation so today was the day.
I am still aspiring to be a beaver. I think I will stay a bunny in all eternity.
That is a really nice photo.
When I saw this, I was amused that all of our Disney Dooneys are in the photo.
I was actually surprised that it did not get to me. Even Toy Story Mania makes me a little queasy. I do really enjoy it though.
The t-shirts all together look great.
This may well be by favourite drink. I wish I could have one now.
I did not need any coaxing. I love a good steak and this was amazing.
First we had the pleasure of the parade and the fireworks.
I am so glad that I had this opportunity.
This was actually a stroke of luck. When I initially researched this, it looked like it was quite a hike from anywhere at Disneyland to the closest stop on that route and then it turned out that there was a stop right across the corner from Paradise Pier.
It was so nice to get some kitty cuddles. I especially seem to have bonded with Samantha.
This was so good.
Sue and Jenn had this.
This was Fran's and my choice and it was utterly delicious.
We had milk chocolate with Baileys and milk chocolate with peanut butter.
This was a very sad moment as this was the last time I would seen Sue and you on this trip. I really hope that we will see each other again in May.
Thanks for sharing the photos. I need to sort through all my photos and share them.
It was the number 50 bus, which comes from Orange and terminates at Channel and 7th in Long Beach right across the street from the VA Hospital.
Indeed.
What a shame that you had to cancel the cruise, but hopefully you will get to go to WDW.

We headed on over to Radiator Springs Racers and finally got a few shots with the group of us.

Looks like you had a great day at DL! Love the pics from RSR! I really want to get there so I can go on that someday.
I LOVE the Melting Pot! everything looks so good!
I miss Him on the DIS too, i did join the private forum to keep following his Europe TR but I haven't been able to keep up lately. I do follow him on his Facebook page that he made for WDW stuff.
I have noticed quite a few have disappeared from the DIS, but I don't know if they went anywhere else or not.

Making the rounds, so to speak, and boy am I sure glad I ended with this tonight! YUMMMMMMMERS! I've always wanted to try the Melting Pot (we have one in Portland) but haven't done it. I actually may remedy that very soon when I do my annual date night with my Girls. We always do a Yearly Broadway show and a VERY special dinner out as their Christmas gift. So I was very grateful for all the food pix and story of how it works.
What an enjoyable night you all had. I think it's really precious that while Disney brings people together, they can become friends outside of that and have so much more. The common interest of Disney is only a starting point- I've made so many wonderful, wonderful, friends here.

And now you are really on vacation! Enjoy!
That's how I feel about being a beaver. I need to research online some of the tricks of the game.
I like it!
I know, isn't it cute?
That's why I sit this one out.
They do!
I think Fran and I need to go back and have one after this vacation. I've only had one or two proper drinks on this trip!
I'm glad, and now I've learned you can substitute this as an entrée in the Main dining room as well.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that, perhaps it was the Martinis!
Me too!
I knew there was a bus stop right outside the hotel. After you mentioned it via email, I remembered seeing it on my way there in the past.
I'm glad you enjoyed the kitties
Everything was good!
OK, I'm glad you remember who had what. It all looks good to me and I would have eaten any of them, but I think I was feeling simple that night.
Makes sense and sounds delicious!
I'm sure we can work it out for May. I'm not going anywhere once I get back on the 7th.
I can't wait to see that!
Thanks for clarifying.
We had a super fun day. I hope you get out here sometime. Let me know and I'll come meet you and we can have a blast together!
It's a great place as long as you don't mind cooking your own food. I really like it!
I wish I had time to follow other forums, I can barely keep up with what shows up in my Watched Threads. A lot of people disappeared and many of them are just not posting anymore except maybe on FB. That's just not as much fun.
Fun update and love the pics!
Great seeing you last week. You're well on your way into your vacation. Have a blast!
It was great to see you too! I can't wait until you're here all the time! We're having a good time. Fran is getting rest time and I'm getting a chance to get caught up here when we aren't running around doing stuff!
Great to hang with you as well, looking forward to seeing you in March!

I hope you and your gals make it to the Melting Pot. I saw pics from your Korean BBQ jaunt last year. Same concept different country. I think you would love it! I've met so many great people here, and we originally met up at Disney, but so many we have taken the friendship beyond just visiting the parks together. I've had people visit my house, share meals, stay overnight, the friendships are more than just revolving around the parks anymore, we have become true friends on so many occasions, its a beautiful thing!
