Who's your favourite character? I absolutely adore the Dowager Countess. She is a flippin' RIOT (and reminds me of my MIL with some of her snark although I'd prefer the Dowager methinks )

Just stay away from MK on Sat and Mon and you should be okay. If we renew our passes again we'll probably come up that first weekend in Jan too

We have definitely learned to make our drinks in the room and not pay those ridiculous prices! My resort mug tends to smell like vodka and limes, LOL! No one even thinks twice when you walk around with a Disney mug

What flour have you been using for the bread loaves? What's the texture like? Maybe I really don't want to know... I'm supposed to be putting my darn bread machine away.

And to add to my questions for the evening because I'm full of them, it seems... what's the deal with Saturday and Monday at MK -- would that be the 4th and 6th of Jan. you mean? (Had to pull up the calendar.) Now I'm scared. Oh, and we absolutely must meet up if you're going to be in town, of course.


----------------

Forgive me RCers, for I have sinned. I've forgotten to share my confession so here goes:

We ate at Le Cellier for the first time ever this past Saturday. It was really nice. (I did question the waitress on the authenticity of the poutine however because the cheese looked decidedly un-curd-like. I don't think she liked me much after that accusation.) After sharing the poutine, a bowl of the delightfully smoky cheddar cheese soup, a fair number of pretzel mini-baguettes and a Caesar (the drink, not the salad), I could only eat half... half of my delicious and scrumdiddlyumptious burger. Seriously. Only half. I almost cried when she took the plate away. I am thoroughly ashamed.

[gwynne]

Padawans, Wookie, Melissa, Love the libation tips!

Missout, Your meal at LeCellier sounds like it was scrumptious! I love that place. Whenever we go, I always make sure to factor in plenty of wander in the garden time there. Canada-my favorite Epcot Country.

Time for me to skedaddle downstairs. It's almost time for Top Chef!

According to the DH it is. He was talking about the trip today, and actually was looking forward to it. Maybe it's a side effect of him being sick. Probably is, since when I cam into our room to let him know the reheated mushroom risotto was ready for him to eat, he was snuggled up with one of my favorite blankets and my huge penguin. He wants low crowds and the possibility of free dining, so September fills his requirements. He even let me add a day so we could go to MNSSHP if they have it on Friday the 13th. Now that I'm getting more money than planned in a few weeks, he's even letting me keep the upgrade to free dining. I told him I was getting back about $1K less than I am getting. That way I can pay for the upgrade to the iPhone 5 and get a new camera. I don't think the one I have will do pictures very well from our balcony.

She is mine as well. You just never know what is going to come out of her mouth when she opens it to speak. Plus I adore Maggie Smith.

I love Le Cellier!! The fact I am getting more money, and that we could only go there in September if we are on the DlxDDP, are the reasons we are upgrading to the DlxDDP. That soup was amazing!! I was afraid it would have too much of a beer taste to it, but it didn't at all. I don't remember what my DSs had, but I had the mushroom filet, and it was amazing. I loved risotto so much that I learned to make it and it's now one of my family's two favorite meals I make. The DH had the pork dish and asked to change the side to the risotto. Our server acted like that wasn't possible, but she did bring him an additional side of it for free. Did you have dessert? I love the kids chocolate mousse.

I got some awesome news today. Here in the next couple of weeks, I was supposed to get some money. I had a certain amount I was expecting, and I logged in to double check the amount and if it said when I would get it. Well, I'm getting about 4 times what I was thinking I would get. [/FONT][/COLOR]

Wookie:Thank you for the kind thoughts about DH's grandmother. He went tonight to see her as she is still fighting, and the dreaded sisters were there. But the world didn't end, and everyone was civil. Poor DH though, he came in the kitchen to tell me how it went and started crying. Lots of hugs all around. BTW THAT IS AMAZING ABOUT YOUR WINDFALL!!

He asked me if I was sure, and I told him that I am. He said "but, the mine train..." I responded "2015"....

He said "you know I love Disney (and I know he does), but I'm just excited to try something new...we've spent a lot of time in Disney over the past four years". And I know we have....compromise....such a beautiful thing.

Candace: I love new and exciting plans!!

Miss You know they have diet lemonade at Hurricane Hannahs. A little ice and vodka in you cup before you head to the pool then add some lemonade when you get there. You have a nice drink. I can get a bottle of Vodka in the gift shop for less than the cost of two bar drinks.

Padawans: Thank you very much for the drink tip!! I will file it away for May!!

Miss: Oh....I desperately loved Le Cellier!! And the burger was delish too? I had the mushroom filet and practically licked the plate!

Ginny:Yay!! Love ya Ginny!

Melissa: I admire your determination to make gluten free sweets and treats! Good for you, I am sure it will help out so much.

Well, that is all for now, DH gave me only a few minutes here, he needs attention. Very emotional tonight. My sensitive guy.

I'm glad everyone was civil. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Thank you. I had forgotten that I was supposed to get extra this time, I had just forgotten. Plus I didn't think it would be that much more. I've already found an awesome Disney case for the new iPhone that has a spot for cards. It looks like a leather book embossed with gold MHs. I thought about just a hard case, but thought the other would be better for when I don't want to take my purse or wallet somewhere. Plus, I'm DSLR shopping and have it narrowed down to 2 cameras. I asked on the Photo boards which is better and hopefully they can help me.

Give your DH an extra great big hug from me. Mine had that point with his grandmother as well. She had cancer in both her lungs and brain. Once they got the diagnosis, I would drive my mil & fil the 8 hour one way drive to see her every weekend. My DH refused to go because he still wasn't totally happy with how his grandmother acted when he grandfather was dying from cancer. She married as soon as he died to a man, they were pretty sure she was fooling around with while her husband was dying (which was the ex I spoke of earlier). Then one weekend it hit him all of a sudden that she wouldn't be around much longer and he had to see her. The fil stayed at home with the DS and the DH, mil and I went to see her. When she died he was glad he had the chance to see her again. She even had a moment while he was there, where she was her normal self.

A tribute to Sarah:

Where are all the people this morning at the MK?!

[jennyjinx3]

Kook: I love the pictures! Thanks again for sharing them.. Yes, the MK doesn't look too busy does it? Or perhaps they shooed everyone out of the way for the RC pic!

Ok, so I am a little torn right now. Our plan for May might be changing. We originally planned to fit swimming time in after coming back from the parks at night, but it seems that SAB may completely close down at 8 pm ish? This came from Teena on the BC thread, and she knows her stuff for sure. Do you think they extend the hours in May?

We were super disappointed at the Poly in Sept when we would come back to the resort around 9 or a little later and the slide was closed at the pool already. But if the whole pool is closed that is even worse!

I am thinking about POR again...we will be at the parks a lot anyway. Ack.....not sure.

I really wish we could fit into a WL room.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I like the pool bar drinks, but there a little on the sweet side for me. Let's hope they never ask to smell our mugs.

Could you stay in one of the deluxe CO rooms?

Kook, love the pics!! I would love to be there today. Instead I'm going to go to work with my sick DH. Y'all have a good day while I' m with Grumpy.

Thanks, Kook, love the pics! As for where the people are...they all went home since they were all there with us on the 30th at MK!

[padawans]

Jenny We were there in May last year we usually left the pool by 730pm. I can't remember if it was open when we returned from dinner. It seems odd to close at 8pm.


Wookie Congrats on the extra money. Any upgrades planned?


MM Have fun planning your new adventure. I'm looking forward to doing non WDW in 2014. I have Aulani and maybe another cruise on my radar. Disney is by far the most vacation we could take. I guess that's because we don't have to buy airfare. I can find resorts much cheaper than Disney just about anywhere in the world. Yet we keep going back.

[Missoutandabout]

Good morning, ladies.

Absolutely LOVE those pics, Kook! Especially the Sarah Sunshine Terrace classic pose... (That is strange about MK, looks deserted. )

Jen: Thinking about you guys.

We quite liked it back in there! Not sure why we never ventured off to explore back there before -- though it probably had something to do with Off Kilter playing. every. single. time. we were walking by on previous visits. (Who we like listening to, but boy do they create a huge bottle-neck!)

Wookie: I love that you have the theme song as your ringtone! (Another confession: whenever the intro comes on, the first thing that runs through my mind is "Dog Butt." )

------------

I have a question for you experts, thought I'd ask here first before heading out to look it up because I know someone here will know! We were thinking of having an early breakfast at MK -- I assume this will allow you into the park before it opens with an ADR. Is the only table service Crystal Palace or is there something else?

We did rope drop -- our first -- on our Epcot day last week. Hubs ran over to get a TT Fastpass and we headed over to Sunshine Seasons. We'd never eaten there before but it was quiet and relaxed for breakfast in the morning. (All the throngs of people were running over to Soarin'.) Got us the idea of doing something similar at MK.

Honestly, I hadn't thought about that. I may though if the DH keeps refusing to let me buy a new camera. The one I want will be about $1,000 with the additional lens.

It's my general ringtone. I do have a few others for people like my mom, DH, sister, and in laws.

What about CRT?
