Great update (again!) Mary Ellen! It was great to hear about your title info!
You got lots of nice pictures around the Gaston area. I like your artsy shots of the fountain.
All credit for the title goes to Cynthia, but it is pretty funny that we met up with Tina like that. For once we felt like the celebrities.
I had fun with that fountain, but struggled with all the sunlight glare.
I'd like to try LTT - not sure what I'd get there, but I think we might give it a shot on the next trip. (whenever that might be!).
It's really a nice lunch spot. I recommend it, despite the fact that I didn't love my "potato" burger.
At least your trip to HHI is in under two weeks!
Some how I got behind on all my subscribed threads.
No worries. We know you will catch up when you can!
Both of you got great pictures. MaryEllen, your shots of the Little Mermaid are great. And I love your Christmas pictures.
Thanks! Of course you know I had to post the Christmas pics. They are so much fun to take.
Cynthia, nice shots at the Opening Show at MK. Don't worry...I always shed a tear or two as well.
I was so shocked the first time I got choked up at the opening show. I didn't expect it and it hit me all of a sudden. *gulp* So I know the feeling.
Good job girls on talking to the CM's and getting into Fantasyland!
I am so glad that CM gave us a heads up. If not I'm not sure how long it would have taken for us to circle back.
Thank you for the explanation of your title! I'm always curious how folks come up with their title names. What makes your story even more awesome is that your "stranger" was not a stranger at all, but another DISer! It really is a small world after all.
Personally, I am not too creative with the names, so it helps to have someone who is. On my last girl's trip we actually did a TR naming session before we left and figured it out that way.
I just can't believe it was Tina and I was sitting there taking pictures of who I thought was a random stranger. There must have been something familiar about her, though.
Thanks for another collection of fantastic photos!
Thanks and your welcome!
Wow what an update !! Sorry your veggie burger was disgusting , I think Mark could have told you that beforehand , and sorryladies I have to side with Mark No Tofu or veggie burgers for me !!
I know Mark will totally chastise me for evening ordering that burger (and I use that term very loosely), let alone eating it. Bad decision on my part, that's for sure.
The first time I spied a Disser on our very first trip, Judy was mortifies when we recognised each other from the Dis !!!
But they were as most Dissers are very friendly and she survived and each time it has gotten easier for her !! In fact she no longer acts surprised when I say I am vacationing with strangers . She even will ask me to ask my Dis buddies questions and for prayers , so I soo agree about our Dis family they are the best!!!
Ahh - that's a great story. Everyone comes around eventually. My oldest son gave me a hard time before I left on this trip. He kept walking around saying "I can't believe you are going on this trip with an internet stranger". He said, "you would die if I did that". I kept trying to convince him that Cynthia wasn't an internet stranger despite the fact that we met that way.
