[KatMark]

Sorry I'm late in responding to latest update...I was at Tim McGraw concert last night.

Another one who leaves in suspense with "surprises." Love the photos of Juliana and Push...too cute. I really like the one with you and her where she is pouting.

Don't buy the Hidden Mickey book...I'll be glad to mail you mine which I bought for this trip. Send me a PM with your address and I'll put it in the mail to you.

I think I am going to buy the Hidden Mickey book. It will give me some Disney reading on the plane!

I love it. They really need to do some updates though..mine doesn't have EE or TSM in it. I bring it to the parks with us..it's a great way to pass the time in line for whatever ride you're waiting for, then you can look for them when you get on.

 

[that's nice]

I can't wait to hear about CRT! You guys look to be having so much fun.

We were having fun.. the time was flying!!!

I love the pictures of Push!

And *ahem*

Yeah Phils!

Looks like it will be Phils & Yanks. Wanna place a little wager?

I am so glad that Juliana got to interact with Push. I really hope we get to see him when we are there in 31 days...

I will eagerly await your surprise for the girls!

P.S. Thanks for your opionion on Kona and keeping CM's. I went with your suggestion and am going to keep both!

If you are planning on seeing the parade, PUSH usually is hanging out around the hub. That is the most sure sign to see him. We have also seen him in a store in Tommorowland. (can't remember which one though)

I'm glad you kept them both! I didn't realize you already had an ADR for Kona.. I thought it was just CMs. I think you will be happy at both places for different reasons!

Late night huh?

Kathy, with the cliffhangers, I have to keep you coming back don't I? What better way than leaving a little hint?

Thank you so much for the offer on the book! Did you not like it or not use it? I will PM you later.

Well I might have one soon... thanks to Kat!

Not that late...just that I'm old!

See the red comments above. Yes, we liked the book and we did use it. It's yours if you want it.

Well, we have to make sure the Yankees don't blow it first (Sorry, too easy...) I think a Disney dare is in order...

We bought ours this year and it has EE and Toy Story Mania in it.

I think you are right. Even though the Yankees are losing right now, I don't see them NOT making it.


Well I might have one soon... thanks to Kat!

It will be in the mail tomorrow morning.

You are too funny. I have to say I'm pulling for the Yanks. I was upset when the Dodgers were eliminated (my second favorite team after my loser Cubs), and my youngest son loves Rodriguez and Jeter.

Does it?! I'll have to go buy the new one now! Thanks!

Well, they blew it tonight! I should watch what I say.

Thanks again Kat!!!!

Ana-as you call her, hope I can too, is very cute with the trash can! Fun parade. Can;t wait to read about CRT. Heading to the Ptr go Angels

We left Adventureland and rushed over to the castle for our CRT dinner. We parked the stroller right outside the BBB and changed Juliana into her Cinderella dress.

We checked in at the desk and headed in to see Cinderella. There wasn't many people in front of us and the line moved very quickly. Juliana walked right up to Cinderella and wasn't nervous this time (she was in March).

Juliana and Cinderella spoke for a few moments and Cindy signed her autograph book.

After our visit we went to sit down and wait to be called, but before we even got a seat, it was our turn to head up to the dining room. I snapped a quick pic of the windows.

Juliana posing on the stairs.

Ana heading up to the dining room. She didn't even lose her glass slipper this time!

We made it to the top of the stairs and got seated right in the middle of the dining room! Our waitress came over and took our drink orders, brought us bread (it was hot and good!!!), and gave us our menus.

I ordered the BLT salad.

Melody ordered the Castle Salad.

Before we left my mom bought Juliana a fisher price camera. She did take a few pictures so far but these one's came out pretty good. Here is Juliana taken with her camera.

Juliana took this pic of our waitress.

Then she took a picture of Melody and I.

Juliana got a gift from our waitress.

The mice and the fairy godmother came out and did a little singing. Juliana was really into the show.

They took a break when the meals started coming out and we got a visit.

Our meal came. Juliana had chicken parmesan. She ate the entire thing... green beans- not so much.LOL The chicken was moist and really good.

Melody had the prime rib. It was cooked medium and was really tender.

I was torn on what I wanted to order. I was torn between the chicken and the pork chop. When I was giving our waitress the order, I told her I couldn't decide between the two. She suggested the pork chop so I went with her suggestion. I am so glad I did. It was great. Not dried out, cooked perfectly, and it had tons of flavor.

While we were eating the other mouse came to visit.

To be continued.....

 

[All7OfUs]

Such a little princess! The 2 of them make a perfect pair!

I love the picture of Ana with her wand over her eye. Very cute.

The food does look pretty good! Glad you went pig, not chicken. You can't lose with oink.

Was the waitress chewing gum? Her mouth looks white or something?

 

[we3are1]

loving your tr and pictures

 

[DisneyFed]

Awesome updates dude.

 

[that's nice]

We had gotten our food and were digging in. Everything was very good! The FG and the mice started up the show again. The FG asked if it was anyones birthday. Juliana raised her hand and the FG started talking to her. We told the FG that it wasn't her birthday and she made a little joke about it. Then the FG started singing the Bibbity Bobbity Boo song and sang right near us.

During her song the desserts started coming out! On Friday the week before we left, I made a call to order Juliana a little something special to celebrate her 2 years off treatment. Our waitress came out with this.....

Our waitress grabbed Juliana's camera and took a picture of it.

Juliana finished up her chicken then started digging in!

I barely got a bite of it.... Juliana was going to town on it. Plus it had strawberries- her favorite! There were two ladies sitting at the table next to us and they were getting a kick out of watching Juliana throughout dinner. Even more when she started eating her slipper! She was going to town on this!! She had chocolate all over her! This is a bad pic but you had to see it! LOL

Melody was so surprised when this came out. I explained how and why I ordered it. Let's just say she was really surprised!

While the FG continued with the show.....

Our dessert came out. Melody ordered the Cremé Brulée.. I think it was maple. She liked it but didn't love it. I tasted it and it was OK. I'm not really a Cremé Brulée fan as it is so I'm not a good judge of the taste.

Juliana was still working on her princess slipper when she got a second dessert.. Ice cream!

I got the chocolate cream cheese buckle. This was sooooo good. It had a crispy cookie shell on the outside and was warm and so moist on the inside. Here is the Allears description- A single layer of Chocolate Cake stuffed with Cream Cheese topped with Créme Chantily and finished with Créme Anglaise Sauce. After Mel tasted it she wished she had gotten the same thing!

Our waitress brought over my bill, I had to pay for the slipper and sign my receipt since I was using the DDP. If we paid cash dinner would have cost $150, but we used 2 TS credits each. I did pay OOP for the slipper and that came to $15. She asked me for my card and I couldn't find it. I looked everywhere- my pockets, wallet, even my book bag. I was going nuts trying to find it. I ended up giving her Mel's card. Our waitress told me to go and cancel the card and if anyone charged anything on it, i would be reimbursed. She walked away while I was trying to retrace our steps in my mind. I also still had the 1 day pass on my card. I couldn't figure it out.

The waitress came back and had Mel's card and mine as well! I forgot (and so did she) she asked me for it once we sat down . I think she asked right away because I had ordered the slipper. WHEW what a relief! She said she was sorry... no problem! I'm just glad that she had it!!! We also were talking with her for a minute. She told us she was a waitress at CRT for 14 years and she was the lowest on the totem pole. She said she really liked working here and it was one of the most coveted jobs. She also went on to tell us that being a waiter/waitress at CRT, Hoop Dee Doo, and the Aloha show at the Poly were the positions everyone wanted to have. This is probably because the tip is included and these meals are full everyday. She was nice and I'm glad we go a couple minutes to chat with her.

We got all our stuff together and headed out of CRT.

It was 5:45. Not too bad. Dinner took 1 1/2 hours. It was nice sitting down out of the heat for a little while. The dining room was nice & cool. Mel was a little chilly in dinner. We found our stroller and headed out towards Main St. We were going to get Juliana hair cut at the barber shop.

Up next the rest of our rides & Spectro.

You are too funny. I have to say I'm pulling for the Yanks. I was upset when the Dodgers were eliminated (my second favorite team after my loser Cubs), and my youngest son loves Rodriguez and Jeter.

Hey, when you're good, you're good...and my Phils...they're good! I'm a little passionate when it comes to Philly sports. It's a side effect of growing up in the area

Well, they blew it tonight! I should watch what I say.

And Juliana was too funny with all that chocolate on her! Oh to be a kid again...

 

[KatMark]

What an awesome update, Tim. Juliana is prettier than Cinderella, and you have yourselves a real princess there. Love the pics of her eating her slipper...and what a nice surprise that was for her and what a great celebration it was for. Congrats!

Anxious for the haircut and Spectromagic.

Book is in the mail.

 

[jenseib]

YUM!!!!! Chocolate Buckle. I told you it was good! Man I want some NOW!
Love the CRT update. Looks like you had fun.

 

[shebaxric]

Everything looked absolutely perfect!! I remember going to CRT the first year we went, we had DMIL and DFIL with us and we were seated by the windows overlooking Fantasyland. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had at MK and a memory that I'll always have. I'm sure that Juliana will, too!

Interesting note about your conversation with your server. She sounded like she felt extremely happy about her position. It always seems like you get better service from people that are happy with their jobs!!
