The snow looks beautiful! Wish we'd get some like that here. It never seems to stick around long.

Phew, k thanks.

Your trips are getting close. Woo Hoo I am so excited for you all!

We are thinking of planning a trip for April. Yeah...I know, not far off...I got to get going. My idea is a special trip for the 55 anniveresary of Disneyland this year. My DH met Walt Disney when he was a child. Has a picture of himself with his twin and older brother with Walt sitting talking to them with his arms around the three little boys. What could be more perfect then The Walk with Walt tour. How much is the tour and when can I make a reservation? TIA Have a magical wonderful love filled time.

That is so cool! I'm jealous

The Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour is I think $64/pp, but they have discounts available...I used my Disney Visa and paid $104.20 for 2. You can make a reservation for it 1 month prior. Exactly 1 month. Not 4 weeks, not 30 days, 1 month.

My Mom had asked me if they were one and the same...I guess that answers that one! I'm really excited about that now!

Too be honest, I'm a little put off by the price of Goofy's...$30 for an adult for breakfast?? Even Chef Mickey's at WDW is $24.99... Plus, I'm not big on buffets. I much prefer to have my meal served to me. So that's why we're leaning towards Storyteller's.

I haven't read further than this but we love brunch @ Storyteller's ~ I always order from the menu *and share with DD* I also prefer having food brought to me. Be prepared for no face characters just furs @ Storyteller's. If you're still going to STC ~ I suggest the Banana Stuffed French Toast or the Buttermilk Griddle Cakes ~ YUM!

Have you ever had Tonga Toast at Kona (WDW)? If the Banana Stuffed French Toast is similar, my boyfriend will flip (he loves Tonga Toast!)

Here's a picture of it:

So it's official...I've now gone crazy...I was dreaming of Disneyland last night. Apparently you all have weird fastpasses

Nope I didn't try Tonga Toast ~ next time eh.....

My boyfriend swears by it. I think it's really heavy, it's tasty don't get me wrong, but it just sits in my stomach all day!

Your not anxious or anything. Cool...dreaming of Disney, but I have one question regarding us all having fastpasses. Is that weird GOOD.....or......weird BAD ???

Great PTR! thanks for sharing!

GoffyCathy, I see you have one day to DisneyLand! Woo Hoo Wishing you a super great trip! You are going to came back and tell us about it arn't ya?

Hmmm, just might have to try the DL version. Great picture, makes me hungry for it. I do know what you mean about it being heavy, especially the Polynesian's room service. They gave us two big pieces, DH was going to share along with his Big Kahona breakfest. He is the king of french toast. Guess what...he didn't like it all! I was stuffed!

I'll be sure to take a picture of the banana stuffed toast at Storyteller's if we get it! I can't believe they give you TWO with room service!

And from what I can remember of that dream, you got tear off tickets for a fast pass. But we were in line for Small World (except it was more like Splash Mountain...a thrill ride) and they wouldn't take the fast pass because it was a short line. I remember in my dream thinking, "this isn't right, it's supposed to go outside." The next thing the boat went outside and I went, "oh good, I was right." Totally normal right??



And goofycathy: have a great trip!!!

Kelly,
I listen to the Podcasts and check out the boards but NEVER post. Well that just changed when I stumbled across this thread. We are in the exact same situation. Been going to WDW since 75 almost every year, DVC members, and listen to just about every worthy podcast for stress release. Never been to the Land and that changes on the 17th! I have ben trying to do my homework like all WDW fan does and the more I dive into it the more I get the feeling your supposed to take a bit more SoCAL laid back appraoch. We are fired up! Who knows we may cross paths while there. Glad you posted, there is some good advice from some Vets on here. If you can tell me how to post "rookie" a photo, I will send one just in case we end up in the trun sites at the same time.

I feel so honored!

I can't even describe how excited I am to go to the original! It's so neat we'll be there at the same time, it'll be a first timer's convention.

You need 10 posts to send messages, and I think also to post pictures. I load all of mine into photobucket, then if you hover over the thumbnail of the picture on photobucket, you'll see a drop down of links and one of them is an "IMG" code. Just copy and paste that code and it should post!

Great, Thanks for the info on posting Photos etc. Until I hit 10 and smarten up enough to post photos on here go to neylu dot com to see a brief glimpse of the nuttiness I have drag my family into at WDW in the past. This site is a quick attempt of me posting on Mobile Me.
Hands down October is my favorite time to be at WDW especially MK and Epcot. There is one photo of me and the wife on our Balcony at BLT at Sunset. Just doesn't get any better. These photos are a few I pulled off the CPU I am on now and cover a few years I think.
Can't wait to go to the Place that started it all and figured I had better do it now before the kids get much older just in case they don't get the bug like me and the wife and resist in the future. Not to worried though.

I like October at WDW for Food & Wine




Today is the first day that when I go to weather.com I can see 3/17! 69 degrees and sunny!!

 

[onelilspark]

I just realized I can do the single digit dance!!!

 

[Bdchili]

Now that's comedy! So question: with all your much more extensive research and planning for this trip. Which threads or sites have you found the best for getting you up to speed fast.

 

[kaoden39]

Oh my gosh. Single digit dance!!
