We didn't mean to leave you guys ... we just wanted to be able to see the rest of the room instead of having our backs towards it!! Sorry! I'll make it up to you, how about a drink? Or some CDs???

I can't believe we're on yet another new thread and the trip is still over 6 months away!

[jordansmomma]

I figured it was survival of the fittest, and Stacerita and I were thrown under the bus.

All is forgiven, just was giving another perspective of the lovely time had by all at Ariel's. Stace can back me up on the joy of it. My food which wasn't handled as much as Stacie's plate was tasty!!

Oh, and I do LOVE CD's and drinks. Just sayin'

AmySue

Oh, and I love the new digs!!
Think we can go through 250 pages in less than three months this time? Challenge!!!!

Have to agree with Amy Sue.....the experience on our end of the table was quite different than yours. ACK! I so don't like my food handled.

I have no probs going back there though. As a matter of fact, Ive been back twice since the trip. Its a much different time when you go with people who have manners and shower. Just sayin.


Add more to the Diva Las Vegas trip report, and added tons of pics.

I found you!

Dave and I just had the nicest meal at a little tiny wine/bistro. We shared a salad with baby greens, strawberries, blueberries, with rasberry vinigarette, and topped with feta and shaved dark chocolate. Yum. For my entree, I had beef wellington with potatoes and ratatouille. (Sp?) Dave had a fancy tri tip sandwich with portabellas and blue cheese. For dessert we had chocolate rum cake. Very nice and romantic. I'm stuffed!

Amy, Stacie and Stacie, That is one meal I am really glad that I missed out on!!

That sounds sooooo yummy! Ive only had a small rice crispy treat for dinner. And I am starving.

Truthfully, I wanted to get away from her - remember, I was the one who met her first and was waiting outside for some time before everyone else arrived I was soooo ready for a break! I don't think anyone quite knew what to expect. She was actually the very first Diva who I met............... I was skeered!

I didn't even see that - that's so yuck about the food handling. I agree though, it will be much different (and WAY better) next time I personally was happy to see that not everyone was going to be like the first person I met

I ate at Ariel's w/DH & DD and we had a wonderful time. Of course, half the price we paid was for the ambiance and beautiful princesses and their interaction with us .The food was very good, so it was all good. I am not sure I would do it again, only because of cost. The character meals for me are good for a one time only. Except Lilo & Stitch, done that one three times, I have. So, I guess I lied.

I love our new thread!

I'm soooooo sorry, I know I have a really weird, morbid sense of humor, but this has me laughing so hard, I swear I have tears streaming down my face! I mean, c'mon! Admit it....if you saw this scene in a comedy movie, you all would be laughing your heads off. It's funny, right?!!!

I don't think you can say it was an actual Diva....that person just showed up like the night before the trip. Just sayin.

But you did what I would have done.

As horrible as that dining experience was, there were others more horrifying. Like the flicking toe/toenail pieces at the pizza party when my dear Breezy was trying to befriend a newbie. She was a trooper, my girl was, and unfortunately she regretted her attempts at trying to be so kind. As they say - Live and learn, it all turned out ok!

Speaking of, the pizza party was one of my favorite things of the whole weekend (as was the tiara wearing, girl bonding experience at PFF). I simply cannot wait to see what the Diva planning committee has up their sleeves for us this year!
