Chunkymonkey & Chunky Sisters B-day Celebration 2011!! Completed TR!

[YukiPhnx]

Count me in! I'm so excited to hear about your sisters' trip! I'll be taking a trip next year with just my sister too!

What a great start! I think it's pretty cool that this TR is like a photo-journal. Makes me feel like I'm traveling with you!

I love Disney Couture stuff. If only shipping to Canada wasn't so pricey.

I'm in...can't wait to hear how your trip turned out compared to ours (crowd, weather wise, etc) since we were there the same dates. I can't see the pics at work from your last update so will have to wait til tonight to take a looksie!

How exciting it must be to go with your sisters! Especially since they don't know the parks like you do. I had so much fun watching the reactions of Danielle, Ray, and Nik. I hope you had the same kind of fun!

Hi Chunkymonkey I am looking forward to hearing all about your girly trip! I'm hoping to plan a trip with my sister in the future so am looking forward to gaining an insight/tips on how to keep everyone happy

I'm also going to catch up on your Sept TR as we are going for the first time this Sept and am hoping to read as many previous Sept TRs as possible

These replies were supposed to be the first set of replies but they got lost but I haven't forgotten about you!

Joining in! I can't wait to hear all about your trip!

Yay! Good to see you here!!

Wuh-hoo! I just finally finished reading your last TR, now onto this one!

Yay! Thanks for reading!

So excited for this! You take some of the best pictures I"ve seen on the boards!

Aww thanks Tina. Looking forward to catching up on your TR too...

I'm joining in! I read your last one, and have to say that you inspired me to purchase a new camera last week! I read some of your photography guides, as well! Hopefully for our trip to Disney in May, I will have the hang of it!

Aww thank you! I hope you are having fun with your new DSLR!

Yay! Great to have you onboard! Girly trips are so much fun! September was really much hotter than March!

Yup I loved seeing their reactions! And sometimes it would be the opposite of what I thought it would be. For example, I didnt' think they would be soooo into characters, but they loved them! They wanted pictures with everyone!

At POFQ, we used the ladies room to quickly change into more summer-y clothes because the weather was vastly different from the 40 degrees back home. It was about 80 degrees, and partly sunny. A great day so far!

We walked on over to the ferry dock to wait our ride to DTD. We took a few pictures while we waited:

CT1

CT2

A ferry arriving, however this one wasnt our ferry. It was going to Riverside and stopping there. It was still pretty on the water though!

Waiting

Taken with CSs camera

CS was trying her hardest to get a tan

Everyone got their Birthday Buttons from the front desk too! CSs name is clearly a reason why shed want to go to the Princess dinner at Akershus. She was even thinking about getting her own tiara. LOL

Finally on the ferry on a relaxing ride to DTD.

We first headed to WPE for some grub! I had never been here before. I told my sisters we could eat at any QS restaurant in DTD, and they picked WPE. Good thing too as it was one of our favorite places!

I loved how they had different iced teas to choose from. The sweet tea was great and so was the tropical iced tea, which is unsweetened.


CT2s yummy cobb salad.

CT1s pizza. I would have preferred it with a crisper crust as it got kind of soggy in the middle but CS really loved it and she ate a few slices.

I got the Chinese chicken salad. It was pretty good.

Dessert

CS got the vanilla bean cheesecake and it was really good! The frozen yogurt though, not that great. The chocolate was ice-y and not creamy. I guess I just expected it to be like ice cream as most fro=yos are. But it wasnt. CT1 and 2 got vanilla which was the same texture but tasted slightly better then the chocolate.


After lunch we got to doing some shopping. On the way, we stopped by this cute wall of tweedle dee and dum. I think this is one of my favorite pictures from the trip!!

Stay tuned for pics from DTD

AWESOME food porn!!! Wow, WPE looks fantastic- we have never eaten there but all I hear are raves. It's fantastic that you got to share and taste a little of everything. I would love that!

That IS a great picture of the CTs with TDTD.

 

[RachelNinja]

I love how WPE has such a good quality food for being so quick! I'm so glad we were able to stop by during our last trip, but our food pics won't be as great as yours are!

 

[NancyLuvsMickey]

Finally made it here...

 

[Cat0727]

WPE looks so good, as always! I still haven't eaten there yet. It's such a steal being just a CS credit on the DDP

Thanks! We eat off each others plates all the time. That's the way we dine! LOL. We were all thoroughly impressed with WPE. Especially since it was a QS credit. But they have servers regularly come by the table and ask if we wanted refills of drinks, and they fetched our dessert for us! How nice. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to leave a tip or not though, since this wasn't a TS restaurant. I looked around and no one else gave a tip but maybe on our next trip I'll leave a little soemthing because they are so friendly.

Yay! I'm glad you got a chance to stop by. I was impressed. I have eaten at WPE before, but usually it was in some airport when transiting and it was nothing like this experience. Looking forward to seeing your pictures too!

Finally made it here...

Yay!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Definitely one of those best value uses for the CS credit!

 

[Heffielump]

WPE looks delish! Disney should hire you to do their promo shots!

 

[TanzUnited99]

Love all the pics of you guys Lol at the pic of CS getting a tan

Also those are some great food porn pics - esp love the desserts!

 

[YukiPhnx]

Love your pictures of DTD!! I never noticed the Pooh Corner sign. That made me LOL.

Is your sister's name really Su-Queen??? That is SO COOL!!!

Mmm, I still haven't tried WPE, but I can't wait to! Love your food porn pictures!
