Good morning Memom;
I love the Universe of Energy. I know it's kinda corny, but I still love doing that ride. I mean I've got to see some dinosaurs somewhere. I definitely cannot do the dinosaur ride at Animal Kingdom. It's too rough from what I hear and my back would never take it.
Isn't MouseGears such a neat store? I usually visit several times while I'm there. Never buy anything, but sure do look a lot.
My sister and brother-in-law are on their way home from Disney right now. They surprised their grandkids last week with a trip. DSis has been planning it for months and never let it slip. When the kids found out they were so excited. I'm sure they've had a great time. I can't wait to hear all about it!!
Have a great day MeMom.
Good almost afternoon, TCKK!
Universe of Energy doesn't thrill me so much any more, but it's still nice to do it every once in a while. I do fine on Dinosaur, but I understand the back thing, because Rock 'n Rollercoaster is the one that gives me fits. I can't do that one any longer.
Let us know what your sister says about their trip. What a great surprise!
I would take a forest over a cute fence like that anyday...someday maybe.
I really enjoyed my dinner at LeCellier. I agree with you though MeMom, the soup was good but not amazing. I got the mushroom filet and the risotto was not great (wish I had subbed for the potatoes) but the filet was the best I have EVER had!! The "moose" was very cute and delicious! My boys especially liked it.
Punkin, I wish I had a rockin cook at my house! I grew up with a mom who was a great cook. Both of my brothers are good cooks but it must have missed me. I'm not a bad cook, I just don't enjoy doing it. DH likes it less than me (we eat out WAY too much because of it)
I am not a shopper like you but I
mousegears. I think I could be content just doing 1 big trip here.
I wanted to order steak, too, but I knew I wouldn't have eaten my money's worth. I am going back one day, and I will arrange to be good and hungry. Then I'll get the steak
and the creme brulee!
It's okay that you are not a shopper. I do enough shopping to cover for several others.
MeMom, I know I have said it before, but your pictures are always so gorgeous that I feel like I am there (almost)!
Also, keep your eyes peeled today -- Disney is reportedly going to release a HUGE discount at 5:00pm for travel dates through June 27 -- just in case, you REALLY wanted to make that spring break trip...
I'll check in at 5 and see what's going on. I can't stay seven days if I take Brooklynn, though. I wouldn't want her away from her mommy that long. Our trip will be a short one - just Wed. to Sunday. I'd like to go for longer, but I really want to take Brooklynn, too, and I can't have it both ways.
There's a big huge space here, and it won't delete for nuthin', no matter what I try, so I'm just gonna write in it and see what happens.
OH, I should NOT have read this!! We got our new van this week and my first thought was it is so nice we really should consider a spring break trip. After being there in June, I said I wouldn't go back during the busy season. Agh, temptation!
If it is what they are saying -- seven nights for the price of four, then it would almost be a crime not to do it.
Just call me Enabler.
Oh you awful, wonderful enabler!!! Hmm, if I took DS out of school on Thursday, we would be there Sat around noon. Leave the next Sat around noon and be home Mon night. I would only have to miss 1 day of work for 8 days of my happy place
This may just have to require some serious consideration
I'm going to stay out of any trip planning conversations before I get into serious trouble. If I go at Thanksgiving and in March and then on our summer trip and don't go broke, I'll be doing well. And I've already told Jill I'd like to do an October trip and a December trip next year - girls only again. Both would be 4-5 days - not long, but long enough to get a fix to hold us through the winter.
I'll admit to being an enabler, because if I get a wiff of someone mentioning a trip, I'm right there with wanting them to be able to do it.
Great Pictures!!! Where are you guys staying? I thought you were at POP again.
All-Star Music this time. We really liked it last Christmas, so we're going there again. We'll be visiting Pop, though. Gotta see our tree in the lobby and those crazy retro silver ones in the food court windows. I love Pop!
Don't worry, I don't know aaaaanything about that.
Nope, nothing.
I forgot to say in my previous post how cool it is that you got to catch just a little bit of Off Kilter. We saw them a few years ago, and catching a show is another thing I'll have to add to my growing to-do list (I'm about to start moving things from my "wish list" to my "to-do list"
)
I can't remember if I've ever been on Universe of Energy. I wrote down some things that I wanted to do or see that I haven't done before, like Philhar-Magic and Country Bears Jamboree. My mother has been lurking on my PTR and informed that we DID see Philhar-Magic, and we saw Country Bears Jamboree many years ago. So, chances are, if I went on Universe of Energy, I just don't remember it. I'll have to consult with my mom on that one!
Your to-do list is growing. Even if you don't think you'd like something, I'd give everything a try once, just so you can sat you've experienced it all.
I'm even glad we did Stitch...once. Never again, but I'm glad we did it just so we know what people are talking about when they talk about how pointless it is.
Thanks for those awesome Le Cellier pics! It will be moms first time, so I can't wait to show her your pics when she gets home!
I hope your mom likes what she sees. When is their cruise? February?
MeMom!!! You always, always, ALWAYS, have the best pictures!!!!!!
I love the Le Cellier pics! We have always wanted to eat there!
You are so sweet. I'm planning to do a lot of video this time, so I'll probably have a lot less pictures.
Le Cellier was nice, but I want to go again and have a steak. I think I'll like it more than the sandwich I didn't hardly eat.
Feeling a bit under the weather today, so I stayed home.
I'm having a deja vu about a few months ago when I found the DIS and you. I really have enjoyed getting to know everyone. You have given me so much enjoyment.
What a discount being offered for travel upto June 27. Could it be, I may get my wish for a May trip...Could I be so lucky....I will be waiting patiently until 5pm. Thanks Charleston Princess for the heads up. You may have turned this day around for me.
Another handbag pic, I feel you put them up for me, you are quite the temptress. Do you think you can take pics of more bags on the next trip? I would be soo gratefull. I especially want to see if they have Christmas ones. I tried to look on Ebay but no luck.
MeMom if you get the chance can you take a pic of the new T Rex. It's all Lexi is talking about. She found out theres a Dino Build a Bear shop inside and she is already trying to decide which dino to get.
The clock is ticking....only a few more weeks and you will be at our favorite place!!!
Sorry you're feeling down. I hope you'll feel better soon.
I'll try to slip into T-Rex when we go downtown. I saw it being constructed this summer. I imagine it will be a lot like Rainforest Cafe, don't you? I'll try to get some good pictures at Build-a-Dino, too.
Handbag pictures? Yep, I can do thoseQ
I was about a week behind here, but don't think I missed this CP!
You and your resort switching!
I think this is one of the cutest pictures I have ever seen!! Great shot MeMom!
I love this! Since I've only been to WDW once I don't recall a lot of details, but I DO remember the Land and just how cool I thought it was in there.
I do not have an aversion to birds, but this one looks really creepy with that white eye! I'm sure it was just the angle/flash, but still...
OH MAN! 7 days for the price of 4?! I feel another trip coming on...
Are you supposed to be finishing your packing or something?
I'm at school, so I can't see the pictures you referred to, I'll have to wait until I get home to see what you liked.
The birds don't bother me a bit, but when we were eating lunch at Grand Floridian one day, I will say there were more than the normal amount, and I imagine a non-bird lover would have felt uncomfortable.
Sooo, I am not exactly sure what is going on with the big space that won't delete no matter what I try. I was talking to another teacher, and when I came back to it, it looked like this, so I guess I hit a wrong button or something. Forgive the big empty space. I'll try not not to let other teachers interrupt my Dising again.
Brooklynn to join us for dress up days. That's one of the reasons we do Halloweeen, just to add to our dress up box. Its too full now and I can't close the lid! 
Did you get a chance to see the new HSM 3? Its really good!!!
I am sure I missed cute stuff like this....I hope Jill got everything accomplished that she wanted!!!!!I think it is so nice that you are able to enjoy your grandchildren. For some reason my mom wasn't so interested. 
I am really looking forward to it myself (in 15 years from now!) Just to hold a little baby again and smell them up.....they are so yummy. 
.....now if flights would come down in price it might work.....
