2 weeks until Disneyland minimeet



And just read a micechat update. Looks like Toy Story Mania is on target for June. So it will be open for us in August.

When are you planning to be there Monica ????

Well so much for shipping the RUM ahead of time.


Thanks for the info.

Unless you ship it to the hotel!

Well - this would be 5 days on my own - I'd send everyone else home. Lori thinks I "deserve" time for myself. Isn't she sweet. One of my concerns is that my dogs will be kenneled for over 2 weeks as it is. Paul can liberate them but he won't be around during the day w/them.

Lori is right -- you do deserve some time for yourself! Could you find someone to come over in the middle of the day to play with the dogs for a bit for those 5 days?

Congrats Julie

Thanks, Mike!

Ok, part of the reason is that I have my Taskbar on the right side of my screen. I think most folks have theirs on the bottom.

But I moved my Taskbar and took a screen shot. With my Taskbar on the bottom, I don't have to scroll to read all of the post, but Andrew's is still larger than the others. Julie's post is regular size, but Andrew's post right below goes farther to the right. Notice the blue bar next to Julie's? All other posts are the same size as Julie's.

No big deal. For some reason I've been noticing little details today.

That is strange, Monica . . . I also have my taskbar at the bottom, but I did look back at the old posts and Andrew's are the same size as everyone else's on my screen. Cue the Twilight zone music here . . .

G'mornin' pirates.
on the t-***** Esteri!



Glad they had fun. I also love the Lion King show. I want to be the spinnie bird lady if Tinkerbell doesn't work out. I think we are going to eat at Jiko during our Sept. trip. I always hear great things about that restaurant.





oh, I so want to post something I can't post, but I crack myself up.
I was trying to think of another callback and my brain is stuck on what you yell at the screen during Rocky Horror Picture Show every time Janet is introduced...

Just what is it you're calling me now? Hmmmmm?

OK, carry on.



MARCO!
thud

sorry, couldn't resist.



It was discussed during my massage.

Tom, sent me a PM, so I sent it to him that way.
I made it up as I went along...

You need:
Stuff to make rice krispie treats
white chocolate chips
gummy worms (chopped into pieces)
fruit by the foot (green or tie die)
white frosting mixed with green food coloring (wasabi color)
Swedish Fish

For Sushi:
Make regular rice krispie treats
Spread into onto a cookie sheet about 1" thick
while the treats are still warm, cut into 1" circles (shhhh....I used a shot glass)
Melt white chocolate chips & brush the top of a circle with the chocolate.
Wrap with a length of fruit by the foot.
Place 2-3 gummy worm pieces in center.
Top with a glob of 'wasabi' frosting.
Repeat over, and over, and over again until you regret the decision to make this stuff...

For Sashimi:
Cut treats into rectangles.
Brush top and sides with white chocolate.
Top with 1 Swedish fish
Wrap with 1/2-width of fruit by the foot.

I'll have to try that recipe. I've tried making it by rolling the treats over the fish, but it didn't come out that great.

In other earthquake news, (we were talking quite literally about the earthquake in the UK, right?) David (daipp) posted this account on our 5 night thread:

Just in case you haven't heard, we had an Earthquake in the UK last night. I had just finished reading in bed when I heard a faint rumble which quickly grew. It felt as though the house was moving along the street.

My son Alex was also awake and he rushed into our bedroom really excited Helen who was sleeping woke-up and angrily told me to stop shaking the bed

When it stopped I looked out of the bedroom window and there were lights goin on in our neighbours houses.

Wow that must've been something! Glad everyone is safe!

It's not just you Monica. That was happening to my screen too, but seems to be better now.

Hi Julie,
You know I haven't posted on the 5-night thread as I'm not sure if I am going to be able to go. I was just talking to DD Lori this morning about it - she thinks I should. I probably won't know until the final payment deadline!!

p.s. Congrats on the

I hope you go Chris! One more I will know for the 3rd part of our vacation.

 

[PBader]

I'm glad they're OK. When I heard about the earthquake I thought of Andrew, Celestine, and David. I know there are other UK DIS'ers around here, so I hope that they're all OK too.

I am glad to hear everyone is OK too

I was really trying to word that differently. I knew some swabbie would pick up on that.

Thursday night. So, technically 2 weeks plus 1 day, but still, I can't wait.

Okay , we should be at the GCH by around 10am Friday or so ...Maybe a little later pending on traffic from SNA ...

Unless you ship it to the hotel!

If I have to ship that's where mine is going!

 

[cruisin'Mike]

I have a question for the Disneyland experts out there.

We're looking at getting 5 day Hopper tickets for August. I see that right now they have a 5 day for the price of a 3 day, but that it's only good through April 24th.

Do you think that they'll run any other promotion like that for August?

My guess is probably not since summer is high season, but I figured I'd ask your opinions.

Thanks!

 

[PBader]

Mike we are using days left on WDW PH. I think we will only spend 1 day in the parks unless Adam wants to go a 2nd day, but I don't forsee that happening.

You could ask them on the DL board, they probably keep up with the savings.

Good idea Paula. Thanks
