Yummy! That food looks scrumptious. I especially like the "happy thumb"!

The rest of us were polite enough to ignore that.


How did you ADD that in post production??

No ... look at the top of this page. Someone else noticed it too. And I think the happy thumb wanted to be noticed so bite me!

Awesome update!! That food looks so good! I'm in such a Disney Missing funk. Thanks for a ray of sun.

Two Words: Fairy Godmothers. Tell them you want "Stacy". We've been using this babysitting service since LG was 2. They are awesome!!

How much do they charge? I'm a nanny so I know what they deserve to get but not sure what they really do! Our son will be 9 months by our Xmas trip and we wanted to do a late dinner without him. Thanks!

Michelle-Love the food pics!! We also do a traditional dinner on our first or last night but our fav. place is Ohanas for fireworks. We won't be able to stay for those with a baby in tow for quite a few years!!

It was our last night, and we had ADR's at California Grill. Over the years, we have built a tradition of eating at CG on either our 1st night or our last night in WDW. (sometimes both! LOL!) We all love California Grill. It's even better when you are staying at the Contemporary and it's just a short elevator ride away...

I can't think of a better way to end (or start!) a WDW vacation! LOVE the CG!

Here's our pre-dinner group shot... yes, we still match. Get over it.

You all look fabulous! What a great picture. I wish I could get my act together enough for the family to match at least occasionally!

All your food pictures are wonderful, as always. Everything looks fantastic.

Ahhhh..... isn't it beautiful???

Love that view! Still crossing fingers for CRV!

After dinner we had our last DIS Meet of the trip with a wonderful DVC family that we hope to see often in WDW. It was great to finally meet you, Lori!

It was SO great meeting you and your wonderful family, Michelle! I really hope our Disney paths cross again soon!

I'm so sad your trip report will soon be coming to an end. But I'm really looking forward to hearing about your MNSSHP!

Getting a cool drink after a hot day was very high on my list. Tonight's beverage of choice was a Nuts & Berries. Yum.

Ooo, I have to ask about this one - what's it made with?

Lobster Bisque with Brandy Whipped Cream and Fresh Tarragon

I'm a sucker for lobster bisque in pretty much any setting, but CG's is one of my all-time favorite recipes!

Well, if you like it, then like I said, I'll give it another chance.

Aw. But everyone has different tastes. I am an EXTREMELY picky eater. I don't eat veggies. I don't eat sausage. I don't eat veal. I don't eat lots. I wonder how I gained all this weight? I do love lamb tho but I only have it about 3x a year. Rob likes it but not that much.

It was me, I noticed it.

I'm really enjpying your TRs! I've read every one, and I've got to say, your family just looks so happy and glad to be at WDW. It says a lot about a family that stays close when their kids get to be teens; I hope that my (future!) kids are as good to me as yours are to you .

 

[DisneyJo]

yes, we still match. Get over it.

Your meal looked lovely Michelle and yes the sunset does look gorgeous. You're so good at setting up DIS meets too

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

You DO have sKiLz. Happy little "thumb guy".

I remember now. The 8th was a Monday, right? I'm too lazy to look it up.

I actually made it past the German trains and finally passed out in the Moroccan fountain.

Nuts and Berries - Frangelico hazelnut liqueur, Chambord raspberry liqueur and cream I love anything made with Chambord.

OH YUMMMMMMMMM!

That sounds fantastic.

I think it's about $15 per hour with some extra charges sprinkled on top. I usually pay around $100 for an evening out with the woman. I think it's usually about 6 hours.

Suck up!
