I love Crystal Palace as well. Glad you BOTH had a good time and good food!

I'm glad you (and your Mom) enjoyed the Crystal Palace! We love it there, and honestly after doing both breakfast and dinner, I'd do both again.

Your desert plate looks so good to me! The little things with chocolate look the best!

Yeah I loved it and Momma liked it. Plus we got to see Eeyore finally and not just take a pic from a distance

Allow me to interrupt this trip report to say I have found the man of my dreams
So went along to Disney shop (an excellent way to kill time) yesterday and they had new Vinylmation and dolls and muppets and woah I want one of everything.
I did take a pic of the window display:

I went back today to get some Vinylmations and the CM that served me I all but asked him to marry me (not really but I thought it ) First he asked if I was a collector of the Vinyls I was like yeah. He said in their merchandise room they have a display of all Vinyls for sales purposes only but they are all there including chasers and he said he dreams of owning it one day but says it'll prob never happen. He then asked if I'd ever been to the parks and got any there. I was like I've been 5 times. He said he went in September and the Halloween stuff was out he said one day park was normal and next it was Halloween in the park and it was brilliant cue excited child here going omg I went in November/December last year and everything was done for Christmas and OMG the castle it was just amazing. He was like that castle is wonderful. Love the whole conversation


And just for fun as well. I started playing with a blog and couldn't decide what to write. So when stuck go back to disney Clickie

Hmmmmm....I now see yet another reason for you to visit that Disney Store (which everytime you show me the displays tells me I need to make a trip across the pond)...

I could be wrong but I'm guessing they're going to change the window display every month to suit the princess. If so I want a pic of all of them

The Loves disney guy told me there was a charm bracelet and for each princess month there would be a different set of charms for the princess of the month. Cute idea.

Day 3, Part 4:
So when we left Crystal Palace the Move it, Shake it parade was going on around the hub again. Momma and I stopped to get some photopass pics because we saw a lone photographer standing nearby CP and I had told Momma since it's paid for already make everyone of them we see take pics of us
I'm trying to remember if Momma went to first aid at this stage as well. I know she went in for plasters at one point and had to sign a book to say why she had visited first aid but i don't remember when she went. Anyway we headed over to the hub to get closer to the castle just as the Move it, Shake it parade was moving off so I got these pics:

Then we went up to stand in front of castle and take pretty pics. Can never have to many pics of the castle:

Soon enough the Dream along with Mickey show started. Only difference between 2010 and 2011 was in 2010 the main characters were in blue outfits and 2011 they were in original colours but shiny! I recorded it (i think) because in 2010 tape ran out during the show and Momma was nowhere to be seen with the other tapes. I also took many pics of course:

(evil woman trying to take over the kingdom---yes I am reading Kingdom keepers )

(Are the princes triplets? )

After the castle show we headed back down main street towards the exit but skipping into the Bakery for some seasonal food pics on the way:

I so want one of those apples but just can't bring myself to spend 10 dollars on an apple.
Just before the hub as well there is a board that has wait times of the major attractions in each area and I noticed at that point which was about 1:45 ish wait time for Peter Pan was 65 minutes and wait time for Winnie the Pooh was 60 minutes. I don't think I've ever seen WtP with a 60 minute wait time! The Park seemed to be getting busier and busier as the day went on.




Next up Yes I should be a Princess!

Mmmmm, Main Street bakery photos! I need, I need! LOL

Mmmmm, Main Street bakery photos! I need, I need! LOL

I know they look yummy and cute all at once but sooooooooo expensive that makes my head confused

 

[amandaw]

Great pics of the show! And those bakery pics are especially great & yummy! My DH loves candy apples...but I'm with you - I can't see spending $10 on an apple. He's already let me know that he is getting an apple when we return this December.

Just for fun i did another disney related blog post as well Clickie

Thanks. I love that show.

Why do the apples have to be so expensive. It's not like the ingredients cost alot apple, marshmallow, chocolate, sugary stuff There's cheaper yummy options out there. One apple is more expensive than some of the meals at the quick service restaurants like

First of all....very nice blog with great pics!

And that is so true about the apples costing more than a QS meal! Never thought of it that way.

I saw in an earlier post that you're reading the Kingdom Keepers series. Is it any good? I love, love, loved the Harry Potter series; have read the Twilight books (thought they were ok) and loved the Hunger Games series - so I do like some young adult series. But, I've been wondering if Kingdom Keepers is really good or if would be "too young" for me.

 

[jenseib]

those apples look wonderful...I must get one some time.

 

[blessedmom4]

Oh Emma..LOVE your pictures! And it sounds like you have found a good man...at least he likes Disney! I love the charm idea, how fun! Still need a picture of you know what....

 

[weezy26nm]

Before I had a melt down I took Momma's ticket because she won't queue for characters and went off to get these fastpasses:

I didn't even know these existed Where do I go to get them?

I only thought of that as I was posting that comment about them.

I like younger books. I love Harry Potter and Twilight and I read a series called House of Night (vampires again.) I like Kingdom Keepers. I don't know if that's because I'm a disney fan or whether it's just good. I want the whole series though and I don't think it's too young but it depends on what you think is to young I suppose. Maybe try get the first one cheap off ebay and if you don't like that don't get anymore of them. I read the first one and wanted to know what happens next though so it might hook you in

They do look so good. The snowman one was really cute. I think someone should have a word with Disney people about their prices though

Thank you
Yeah he was nice. Think he might have freaked out if he knew what I was thinking though
The picture will come eventually.

I didn't even know these existed Where do I go to get them?

They are in the corner to the left of Tony's as you're facing it. There's a wooden gate that says something about Bikes on it and the machines are just there hidden away. If that makes any sense.

 

[weezy26nm]

Thank you

 

[petals]

Thank you

No probs. They came in very handy esp for Princess line

 

[lovethattink]

Oh those bakery pictures!!! I can easily pass on the apples, but those are the best cupcakes!!! They taste so good!!! The only thing I don't like is that the icing stains the tongue and teeth temporarily. The cake on a stick look so cute! Like lollipops! But if I'm going to eat cake, I need LOTS of ICING!!!!!!

I shouldn't even be so enticed by the goodies. We just ate supper and I thought I was full.

I think Disney goodies don't count. Even when you're full you've room for disney food

The cupcakes are yum defo
