A story of renewed hope & the power of Dis

Ruthie, I am going to email you a picture of what I gave Mark for our anniversary. I can not seem to get it loaded to photobucket. And I cann't justify paying over $8 per month since I only use it for this forum. That is nearly $100 per year, I need in my pocket. ;)
 
Such cute pictures from Chef Mickeys! And too funny that Pluto wanted you guys to kiss.

The last 3D movie I saw was Voyage of the Dawn Treader and unfortunately I came out of that one a hurting puppy. I'm a little afraid to try 3D again after that one.
 
Before I answer you my dear people or continue on with this report I HAVE to say Love the MDE website...it has been EXTREMELY good to me :yay:

SO COOL! YAY you!

So awesome you get to have those fabulous meals over Christmas. I'm a little bit jealous. :rotfl:
 
Love the smoochy picture.

:blush:
:lovestruc
Your new camera must truly be amazing. That is awesome. I mentioned before I love the pictures thhis new camera was taking. Btu, I never guessed it was that camera that did the CM photo with the plate. :)
Love that Pluto was a luv bug that day. You & Fred look great!
Okay, off to TRY to catch up on other reports too.

I never thought I would love another camera Some day I will own a DSLR but that's not in the foreseeable future, it probably could be if we laid off all these character meals :rotfl: Luckily I found the eBay seller that I had the original camera from all those years ago I am thrilled with it AND the price $139.00

I got a Samsung WB100 26x optical zoom 16.2 MPs Dual IS ( OIS & DIS ...don't have a clue what that means :rolleyes2 ) My last camera was a Konica Minolta optical zoom 12x and 6 yes 6 MPs ( bought it a LONG time ago) and was always very happy with the pictures this one thrills me even more

Hi Ruthie! Sorry I fell behind a bit - I have been working 11-hour days all week and several hours a day on the weekends with a bit due date on Tuesday. Can’t wait until THIS is over. Really puts the brakes on the Christmas preparations. :( Anyway…..

We did Thanksgiving out this year too. And the leftovers thing is a problem. Luckily, this was our second year eating out on Thanksgiving day, so I was prepared. On Friday, I did a low-key version of Thanksgiving with a turkey breast, stuffing, potatoes, and then we ate that the rest of the weekend. Best of both worlds! :woohoo:

I COMPLETELY agree with you about Frozen and the short! We went over Thanksgiving weekend too, and we were blown away. The short was one of the best things I have ever seen in a theater! And we all (my mom went with us) loved the movie! I’m really hoping that Elsa and Anna are still meeting at Disneyland when we go next month.

I LOVE your anniversary dinner pic with the CM statue!! FABULOUS!!!!

And the Pluto pics!!! So cute. It should be Chef Pluto’s! So glad that you had such a great anniversary at CM. We really enjoyed it too on our trip. Just a really fun place.

Thanks for the info! Wilderness Lodge is actually topping my list for our next trip after our wonderful visit there to eat at AP. I am thinking that would be the perfect location to take time enjoy all these things!

Ugh, reading about horse riding makes me all wistful. I haven't done it in years, and I love it so much. When I was in high school, I spent a year living with a family in Australia who had basically a cattle farm. They had quite a few horses, and we would actually go out and muster the cattle on horseback. I loved it so much! Of course, I also just loved riding out there on my own whenever I felt like it. Just such an incredible thing - as you well know. I miss it!

You need to talk to PIO our resident Princess in Oz ! Lives in Australia Boy if you have any pictures of that experience I would love to have you share Sounds truly awesome Your long work days I can so relate I pulled up my schedule in the computer at work last night and :faint: no wonder I am so damn tired all the time I had 7 days off in Sept 4 in Oct 3 in Nov and will have maybe 4 off in Dec by the time the month is over Don't get me wrong I am NOT complaining about $$ Blessed to have the opportunity but after the holidays I plan to throw my resume out there big time and get a 40 hr a week job with hrs guaranteed Too stressful like this Wasn't that Get a Horse short AMAZING !! We don't go to movies often the prices are out of sight I saw Monsters U :goodvibes Fred didn't and together the last one we saw was oh my goodness LAST Christmas or maybe even 2 years ago " War Horse " :sad1: I cried like a baby the whole movie for so many reasons The frozen Princesses I don't think they will be going anywhere any time soon VERY popular The M & G lines over 2 hours here and PLUTO glad you liked the pictures, I know he has redeemed himself again considering your experience &
the name of your TR :rolleyes1 told you so told you so

I LOVED it can I post it here ?

I look at it as 30 cents per day but use it for so much than here and since the older DD is presently in VA and the younger DD is in NY along with a cousin and Aunt Mary it's a cheap solution for me since the pictures go back & forth in email all the time

Such cute pictures from Chef Mickeys! And too funny that Pluto wanted you guys to kiss.

The last 3D movie I saw was Voyage of the Dawn Treader and unfortunately I came out of that one a hurting puppy. I'm a little afraid to try 3D again after that one.

I think if you tried it you would find like I did it was fabulous it really has changed 3-D I was very nervous when the movie first started thinking any minute now I can see that headache & nausea coming You are the Queen of SM :worship: you can do anything :thumbsup2 The Kiss ....:blush: Pluto was a real mushy instigator that day and we loved every minute of the attention we got

Look at you getting some of those most popular places for Christmas week! Way to go. :thumbsup2

Wow!!! Great ADRS! :woohoo:

I think its really all about 2 things: the cc / cancellation policy IMHO has opened up more slots since people may not want to take a chance on losing
$10 Per Person if they don't cancel within 24 hours to the time slot AND we are flexible with times Truth be told VERY flexible ..Chef Mickey's Dinner is so early we are acting like typical almost Sr Citizen Floridians that go to a " blue plate special" to save a buck :rolleyes1 yes THAT early for dinner :laughing: and BOG very late

There are so many mixed reviews about the food there I almost cancelled Read your experience Roni just this morning but figured ok I'll keep it It IS Christmas really wish Belle would be there, then it would be a real Enchanted Christmas Tale :thumbsup2

Tusker House was a no brainer and after the last time I was shooting for a time that crossed over with brkfst & lunch items, I'm sure there will be more Fred Food Coma pictures to come...you know the ones.....where the eyes glaze over and they look far far away...yeah that look :rotfl2:
 
:cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1: :santa:

SO COOL! YAY you!

So awesome you get to have those fabulous meals over Christmas. I'm a little bit jealous. :rotfl:

I will probably gain 10 pounds ::yes:: and speaking of the food, let me continue on with the Chef Mickey Anniversary Breakfast we had and where we went after that because I actually took some food pictures :faint: me can you believe that ?? !! Any excuse to play with that camera




This was so good, the eggs were really fluffy I think the item on the right is Goofys lasagne, I'm pretty sure it is I get it every time as the veggies in it are so fresh I passed on the famous Mickey waffle because well I have a Mickey Waffle Iron and can make it anytime The french toast was yum !!

But the BEST thing I had was Plutos Cheese Blintzes topped with cherry sauce :faint: If you never had this you are missing out We used to get these all the time when I was a kid and we would spend summers in NJ They sold them on the boardwalk One bite and I was transported back there so fast I could almost hear the seagulls overhead, the water lapping under the boardwalk wooden piles, and the smell of salt in the air :goodvibes Good Times !! I had 2 plates Would have been very happy to just eat these, have a pot of coffee, and I'd be good to go :thumbsup2




Next up: Gone camera crazy ...or what can I photograph next ??
 
OK, so where in NJ did you go every summer? We used to go to Ocean City! We went back there with a large family group in 2011, sort of a trip down memory lane. I can taste the Johnson's Popcorn and the Mack & Manco Pizza as we speak.

Back to your pictures, the food looks wonderful. It's making me hungry but I'm trying not to eat anything right now because our Christmas party is in one hour. Need to be hungry for that. Of course, my favorite item in your picture was the chocolate cupcake!

We went to Keansburg NJ every summer we rented a summer cottage Nvere went to Ocean City Keansburg was where I learned to ride a 2 wheel bike I remember it was close enough to us in Queens NY that we got there by subway It had to be close because Daddy had to work but came out there every weekend Do you know where that is? They had a boardwalk that had food booths and those pick a number put down a dime and they spin a wheel for a winner...funny I can hear that clack clack clack sound of the wheel turning now :rotfl: As I got older we spent more time at Cape May and Atlantic City...a LOT of time there

I missed my Christmas party :sad2: I was scheduled off that night but had scheduled the same shift somewhere else so I lost out Enjoy yours....I KNEW the cupcake would be your favorite Hey I was posting over on yours while you were posting here ;)

Nope, never been to Keansburg. Jim and I did sneak away for a day in 2011 to go to Atlantic City. We walked the boardwalk and then did some casino hopping. We ended up at the Golden Nugget and I won $20 on the nickel poker machines. Yep, I'm a big spender when it comes to gambling. :rotfl:

My Christmas party isn't much to write home about. Working in a government position, we have to bring our own food. Most people brought different kind of casseroles so I was out of luck with my pickyness. Someone did bring a tray of Walmart chicken tenders. They were cold and kind of nasty but at least I ate something! Then we play a "Pirate Grab Bag". That's the one where #1 opens a gift and then #2 can steal it. Unfortunately there was not a lot of good gifts so there wasn't a whole lot of stealing going on. I ended up with a Duck Dynasty holiday cup, whoo hoo. :rotfl2:
 
Wonderful!

and this is just ONE reason why we love Pluto so very much ! I just had to watch it again....it also reminded me once again of the one time Dillon ever reacted negatively to anything

He was such a sweet boy but the day he met Pluto outside of AK it was not good at all First time I ever saw the hair on his back stand straight up and he did a low growl I was beyond shocked and more than a little sad He would have none of it



But Timon & King Louie and Chip & Dale could be right there and even put lovins on him from head to toe and this was great...made no sense..well I guess in his mind it did :confused3



 
Glad you enjoyed the video! Maybe Dillon just sensed the threat of competition since you love Pluto so much? :confused3 :rotfl:

:rotfl2: good call Ariana that may be it.:thumbsup2..I will ask him one day ;) because I know he loved him too he had about 20 Plutos and slept with them...only one of 2 dogs ( Fantasia is the other one) that ever shared my life that didn't kill stuffed animals :rotfl2:
