I was going to give up Akershush but it seems like you had a good solo meal there. Hmmm.

I can't wait to see what other mischief Nobby gets into.

He should get there by the end of the week (hoping Saturday) barring any post office faux pas LOL!!!

I really did have a great meal there...the food was really good, the service was even better and I loved meeting the princesses!!!

I had to grab a cup of sweet tea before reading all of that! I love the long updates! Thanks for the shout-out!

I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who cries when they meet characters. It is hard to not have a loved one there to share the moment.

I really want to try Akershus for lunch or dinner now.

Edit: Dude, there were more updates! :lmao I'm glad you had such a great time at the princess dinner, and I have to say, the food looks really good! When I read the menu it doesn't seem that enticing, but wow, it looks yummy. And the pics of Nobby are so cute! He's a little devil, isn't he?

Yeah I updated twice yesterday, I really hope no one gets used to that LOL!! I think I was just uber excited and went a little trip report happy! And yet I'm still not done with day 1 LOL!!!! The food was delicious there I could really go for that pasta dish again and I would definitely go back.

Oh yes and later on the evening he gets to be even more of a devil LOL!!

I loved your Visa meet story. Goofy is such a trip!

I love how Nobby seems to get himself into trouble. LL is going to have her hands full!

Thanks Goofy was so amazing to me...I still smile just thinking about it!

Yeah she is going to have to watch out for him because he's loves him some trouble...LL don't let him get anywhere near that ice rink..he's going to make a run for it LOL

Oh you would love it CP, I know you would!! The food for dinner was just really really good and the service was great also!!

YUM, that's exactly what I left Disney with in June, pretzel rods (dipped in dark chocolate, rolled in pecans and drizzled with caramel...drool!) and yummy fudge to use up my snack credits! the best thing about the fudge is that it is so rich, you only need a sliver at a time and you really get to spread out the yumminess!

Ummm...I just totally noticed we are going to be at Disney at the same time YAY!!!!!

Yes Nobby and I had a blast on this trip and I will miss him until he returns to me in October!! (Well I'm going to have to check with Paula and C and hope they will share Nobby with me LOL)

Do you know what I am doing right now...I am listening to DIS radio...such a stress reliever for my afternoon break!!!

Awww..I loved writing my long update and I really should get to work on the next one...have to keep my audience happy!

Oh my friend will you be shouted out a lot in this TR!! You were there with me in spirit every single special moment and for that I can only say THANK YOU!!!

Yeah, in that moment I really missed DH although I could imagine some sarcastic remark he would have made that would have ruined the moment LOL, however I did miss him and was glad Aurora understood! (She will always be Aurora to me...I love that name...hmmmmm Aurora Rose now that might make a very cute little girl name..call her Rory for short...I'm so writing that down, my mom's middle name is Rosa so I want to keep with the Rose theme LOL).

I will do my best to accomodate!!!! I'm really enjoying writing it all out and I'm so glad you guys are enjoying reading my tales!!

I'm going to start saving spending for my next trip and I'm starting to think I'm going to be using it on pretty much bringing home snack treats so I can munch on them and listen to Disney songs while I write trip reports...what am I going to do when my last piece of fudge is gone...well besides actually stick to my diet LOL!!!!

Whew! All caught up, I got alittle behind there! Great updates! You had so much fun!

Hey, in chapter 3 you mentioned buying this really cool lanyard thing in the WoD. Can you post a picture? It sounds so cool!

[Tnkrbelle565]

This is seriously the funniest TR! Am I the only one who's really buying into Nobby being an actual person??

Awww thanks, I am so glad you are enjoying my TR!!

What do you mean, are you suggesting Nobby isn't real???? Oh the horror!! Shhh, don't let him hear you say that, he'll go all pyscho gnomie on you and trust me I've seen that side of him and it ain't pretty!

LOL!!!!

Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one who worried about that! Good thing he is on his way to visit LL and can't see the Dis!

Maybe she was just suggesting that Nobby seems like a real "person" when we all know he is, in fact, a gnome. As a biology teacher, you can appreciate the difference I am sure.

[BellaSoleil]

JEN- We could have Belle and Aurora and dress them up in costumes to match their names. I really love the name Ariel, but G has already put his foot down. Hehe!

Let's see-

You'll have Phillip and Aurora.... does that make you ?

Wow...that could be odd...Aurora being daughter to Prince Phillip LOL!! I love that name and I love that idea (guess I should consider getting started on having an Aurora LOL)

And nope I tend to think of myself as a Merriweather LOL!!!!

That was what I was thinking, good thing he is on the road!!

And yes I can appreciate the difference, of course that is what she meant, for a gnome he has quite human characteristics LOL!!!!!

I think it's going to be hilarious to read about Nobby's shenanigans in the world over the next year with all of us. I have officially started a list in my planning notebook titled "Nobby Photo Ops."
