Here are some pictures from Ab's Homecoming this past weekend...

Great pictures! Do you hold your breath when they toss her around?

WAHOO...now out of the 90s!




Found this the other day...looks like I need to make my tubes a little fancier for the boys!

These are very cool!

Wednesday's Trivia Question:
In what Disney movie can you find a character named Diablo? What type of character is he and who is his owner?

 

[petals]

Where did you find the pressed pennie checklists for the parks?

Also Diablo is Malificents Raven from Sleeping Beauty!

 

[hunterfaimly]

According to google Diablo is Malificient's pet raven in Sleeping Beauty.

Which was really why I threw that out there... not because I just had to have the points!

Sure...go with that POST EXCUSE...I am buying it....

Well, I have finally hit the 90 mark and can book some Universal ADRs through open table!

Here is what I booked:

Sunday, December 25th: Churrascaria in the Latin Quarter on City Walk

*This Brazilian steakhouse features the main courses brought directly from the grill to your table. Have as much as you want—the feast doesn’t stop until you say it does! I booked this mainly because I wanted something special Christmas Day and for Jeff my meat eater. I was looking at taking a taxi to Ruth Chris steakhouse (someplace he has been dying to go to), but they are not open Christmas Day (and I don't blame them). This is a new restaurant on City Walk, the soft opening reviews were out of this world for both food and service...not so much lately, but I figure it is a new place and they are working out the kinks!

Monday, December 26th: Jimmy Buffet's Magaritaville

*You already know why I booked this one...it is entirely selfish! Gonna get my Italian Marg with a Cheeseburger in Paradise.

Tuesday, December 27th: NASCAR

*This one is for my Lightning McQueen fan. I know we cannot continue to walk past this place with the race cars in front without him wanting to stop in! I am sure the food is okay...chilis type (which dh hates), but Goo dreams of being a race car driver...even though none of us watch or follow NASCAR!

That leaves only December 28th to decide where to eat...I am going to let Boo decide (since we are doing NASCAR for Goo and Via Napoli for Ab)...I am thinking we will either pick HardRock (my guitar player) or Bubba Gumps (my shrimp lover).

Churrascaria is so yummy and so fun. We recently went to one in Seattle. Yumm... You will have a good time.

87. Breakfast at the Crystal Palace


I booked my ADR for the Crystal Palace for breakfast, BEFORE park opening...the earliest I could get 8:05 am. I am hoping to stroll down Main Street and get some great pictures without tons of people, plus see Pooh and friends!

I know I really should be eating at the Crystal Palace for Pooh & friends...but secretly I booked this for...

Puffed French Toast...we made some this summer from the recipe on allears and it was so yummy

Breakfast Lasagna...I know it does not look that appealing and I wanted to makes some...but it is WAY TOO COMPLICATED! Layers of french toast, waffles, pancakes...

 

[lilpixiebabe101]

We're doing your #87 too! I told my mom if no other ADR's or park days work out the way we plan, that we WERE doing Crystal Place before park opening on our first day for my daughter!

She was all... "oh well do y'all want to go to a different park Saturday night when we get there?"

"NO NO NO NO NO", we both told her. "It's not Disney till Magic Kingdom. That's what we want Alexa to see first!"

 

[annmarieda]

CP is on my list of what I am excited about too. No one else in my group... just me. I think the idea of getting to MK before the surge of crowds will be amazing!

 

[hunterfaimly]

We are doing CP as well but we made it for lunch. MK has AM EMH every day that week so we had to decide on using rope drop for rides or TS meal. We will get a quick breakfast at the resort and have an early big lunch at noon. My DD(2) loved this last year. She sleeps with a stuffed Piglet so she thought he was just a giant version of that.

[shocky5]

Count us in for CP pre-park opening as well! Can't wait!

Tammie - what's in the puffed French Toast???
