Oooh, I love Tren-D! They always have so many cute things! I agree that those sandals are adorable. Love the PP pics. I love how you and Tim coordinate too with the blue clothing. Super cute photo in front of the fountain in France.

 

[DisneyLaura]

Love Trend-D this is what I bought there when we were there in April. Not a good picture, it's from my camera phone

they had a really cute Alice tea set in there but with kids and it not in a glass curio I wasn't buying it.

Those sandals were really cute too. Love both of the dresses.
Cute photopass pictures.

 

[Cat0727]

Tren-D has such cute stuff! I love the flip flops! I like your dresses too! It's cool the Mickey heads aren't plastered all over them in an in-your-face kinda way.

As always, great Photopass pics

 

[twenty3curls]

What a cute dress! I love the subtle nod to Mickey, but not so over the top that you can't wear it at home.

Great photopass pictures!

 

[Lynn5700]

Holy smokes...there were so many photopass guys in that installment, I lost count! Nice going! They look great!

HAHAHA!! Yeah, I hunt them down.

Great update! I loved Tren-D! I walked in there and saw so many cute things but I didn't end up buying anything. I've already made a disney souvenir money savings account! I love all of the photopass pics!!! One of the only things I wish that I would've spent more time doing is photopass. My mom totally wasn't into it so I didn't really get that many done Next trip I am stopping at every one I see! I wanna pre-order the cd and get a bunch of pics done! I am definitely going to have to make a stop at beach club next time! I've never resort-hopped, even though i've always wanted too! I went to the poly this past trip and I love just being able to walk around and enjoy the scenery!

I could spend hours in that store and buy everything, lol. It is my favorite store in DTD. It is worth it to pre-order the CD. It's only like $99. Resort hopping is fun!

Glad you guys were able to go on Toy Story Mania. It was down when I went.

Aww, I would have been so sad.

Gorgeous photopass pics! I think my favourite is the boardwalk one but the France pics are also very unique - not your typical castle sort of photopass pics. Do you guys purchase the CD everytime?

OMG I tried that dress on in May! lol too funny.

I will share a tip I learned. If you are ever in TrenD and there are no fitting rooms available, you can use the rooms in Team Mickey - and vice versa. This is what the friendly CM told me when I was waiting to try on stuff.

Thanks! Yeah, we pre-order the CD every time. We think it's worth it. HAHA, that is funny.

Thanks for the tip!

It was called Rapunzel when I was there too.

I saw the preview. Don't know what I think about it.

I saw it, too. I think it looks cute.

Funny. I almost bought the same flip flops but in black, and the skirt that is like your purple dress. I didn't buy the flip flops as I bought some Mickey Mouse sneakers, and I didn't buy the skirt since I didn't know what I'd wear it with.

OOh, the sneakers are probably really cute.

Great buys in Tren-D! I love those sandals!

Wow that rain looks intense!

We walked through the IG for the first time last month and it was just a wonderful peaceful walk. Can't wait to hear about Chefs!

Thanks! Yeah, the rain was crazy, lol. I love the walk through there.

Cute stuff in TrenD!!! I always do some damage there!
Wow that was really a downpour...glad it was short lived!
Great PP pictures....the lighting was perfect outside of Chef's....the combination of the sky and the time of day!!
Can't wait to see what you had at Chef's....I have a reservation at Bistro in October and have never eaten at either...I am going mainly for the waiters. Just kidding!!

Tracy

HAHA, me too! Thanks! I was happy with the way the picture turned out. I really want to try the Bistro. Please, let me know how it is.

lol Tracy yep the waiters at Chefs and Bistro are top-notch You have me laughing here lol

HAHA! There are some cuties there.

Nice update! Love the stuff in Tren-D! Good choices! Can't wait to hear about your dinner!

Thanks! Dinner was fun!

I love love love the dresses and flip flops you got..Tren D sounds awesome

Your photopass pics turned out amazing, I especially love the black and white ones.

Thanks! I love the black and white one, too.

I can't tell you how many times I looked at the purple and pink dress when we were down there! I really liked it!

Love the flip flops! I like that the Mickey is somewhat subtle on it!

Great photopass pics!!!

Aww, did you? I looked at it like 10 times before I finally bought it. Thanks! I love those flip flops.

Those sandals are soooo cute-- I love the black/white top, too! The Mickey design is there, but not over the top. Gotta love Tren-D!

Thanks! I love that store.

Oh my gosh...I adore Tren-D! I could spend hours in there just looking at all the cute details. Not to be a copycat, but if they still have those flip flops next month, I am SO buying them! I love the dress too.

I've never walked through the IG, but we will on our next trip. We'll be hitting up Epcot in the morning and then walking to the BC for breakfast at Cape May Cafe. I can't wait!

The photopass pic in France is just gorgeous.

Get them! They are so cute and comfy! Definitely walk through. It's cute. Thank you!

I loooooove the flip flops you got! SO cute! I never spend much time in DTD but I'm going to have to stop in that store. Everything looks adorable!

Don't you just love the boardwalk area??? I stayed at BCV last year and loved being able to walk right over to Epcot. Plus the pool is totally worth splurging on the resort!

Jenny, you have to go there! Yeah, I love that area. I think I want to stay at Beach Club. OOh, and the pool, I bet it is awesome.

I love Tren-D! There is so much to look at...and of course I want to buy almost everything That stinks you couldn't find your dress, but the one you got is really cute!

That rain was coming down hard! I'm glad it stopped in time for you to get some great photopass pics

I do find my dress : ), but not until later in the trip. Me too!

I have been off of Disboards for a while because I get so consumed by everybodies trip reports. While in Colorado I talked my DH into taking our three kids in December 2011, yeah the power Disney food. I started lurking on your TR last night and you had me at hello. You two are so cute and fun. I love how you make us feel lime we are the with you experiencing every detail. You also got me excited about school I start back on September to get my Masters and was dreading it until I started reading how good it feels to make A's. BTW co grats on your A in pre-calc. I can't wait to hear more of you adventures in Disney, keep the updates coming.

HAHA, Disney food does have power over men. Tim loves the food there. It really is the best. OOH, good for you! Good luck with school. Thank you so much, and thank you for reading : ).

Didn't you just love all those downpours the week we were there? We just doned our ponchos and moved on. I have never been in TrenD, I love the items you picked up, esp the top. That photopass pic of you and Tim in from of the fountain in France is my fav so far.

They were not that bad. We lucked out because it would downpour whenever we would go back to the resort, so we did not really get stuck in the rain.

Thanks!!

Joining in! Great TR so far!

Hi! Welcome on board.

Oooh, I love Tren-D! They always have so many cute things! I agree that those sandals are adorable. Love the PP pics. I love how you and Tim coordinate too with the blue clothing. Super cute photo in front of the fountain in France.

HAHA, we did not mean to do that with the clothes, lol. It just happened. Thanks!

Love Trend-D this is what I bought there when we were there in April. Not a good picture, it's from my camera phone

they had a really cute Alice tea set in there but with kids and it not in a glass curio I wasn't buying it.

Cute photopass pictures.

Cute bag! Oh, I love that tea set. Thanks!

Tren-D has such cute stuff! I love the flip flops! I like your dresses too! It's cool the Mickey heads aren't plastered all over them in an in-your-face kinda way.

As always, great Photopass pics

Yeah, I agree. The Mickey is not over the top. Thanks, girl!

What a cute dress! I love the subtle nod to Mickey, but not so over the top that you can't wear it at home.

Great photopass pictures!

Me too! I wear it at home a lot, lol.

CONTINUED....


After getting a photopass pic, we checked in to Chefs and were seated right away. We were seated at a great table right by a window. I love sitting by the window in that restaurant. When we were seated, I noticed that Remy was going around table to table. We saw him before, I think last May, and thought it was so cute.

Here is a pic of the cute menus.

They bring out a big french baguette for you to snack on. It's very good.

We both ordered off the pre-fix menu. It is included in the DP, which include app, entree, and dessert. I ordered the French Onion, and Tim ordered a salad.

I had the Mac and Cheese for my entree. It is delicious. One of my favorite meals.

Tim had the steak. I did not get a pic of it, though. Sorry.

Now, while we were eating our entrees, we heard the guy walking around with Remy. He made it to the table behind us. At the table sat a large family. I want to say there were eight of them. Well, the mother of the table was hilarious. She was talking to Remy's handler and I could tell that she was loaded, lol. I said to Tim, " She sounds blitzed, lol." When I looked at the table, there were bottles of wine, haha. Anyway, she had the handler sit down, sat on his lap, and had one of her family members take a picture. She then started to introduce him to her family, lol! HAHA! Her kids were so embarrassed. Tim and I thought it was hilarious, lol! It was so funny. It was nice to see another family having a great time. The handler was so funny, too. He kept telling the family that the pictures were $5 each, and said it was free if they had photopass, haha! He was a great sport.

When the handler made it to our table, I started to take pictures and he said to me, "Oh. you want a picture of me! That will be $5. Oh, what is that you have, the DDP, oh it's free with the DDP." HAHA! He saw our room key on the table, haha, so that was how he knew we were on the DDP. Here are the pictures. His name was Armando. He is so funny!

It's not the best pic of Remy.. I focused on the background, ugh!

For dessert I had the Creme Brulee..

Tim had the puff thing, lol. I can never remember the name of it, but he loves it.

It was a lovely dinner. I think we are going to go for lunch on our next trip : )

I took a picture of France when we got outside. I have to say that France is one of my favorite pavilions. It is so pretty.

It cooled down so much because of the rain from earlier in the day. I was cold, haha. Tim loved it. It did feel nice, but I love the heat.

We started to make our way over to Test Track to see how long the wait was. When we hit Canada, Off Kilter was performing. They are awesome. I snapped a picture of them.

While we waked through Canada, we noticed that the fences have Canadian leaves on them, lol. Cute. We never noticed it.

Aww, and look at the Duck.

When we made it to the fountain, we stopped for some pictures. Look how crowded it was, lol! There are some big crowds there, watch out!

Along the way we passed Mouse Gear, so I took a picture of the Vynilmation display. I love it!

I think it was like 50 minute wait when we made it to Test Track, so we decided to go back later that night.

CONTINUED....

 

[PopArtGal]

You had the same thing I did at Chefs. You should come over, my "French" macaroni is better hehe Creamier But that one's good too.

I had the puff thing too. It's called "Profiteroles". I love those. But never get those here.

Off-Kilter are good. But please don't think all Canadians are into it lol That's not exactly what we listen to everyday

BTW, we had the same guy with Remy. My mom told Remy he was "Mignon"(cute) and he said thank you. Oh you mean him. lol

 

[jenny105]

Awwwwww, Remy! I absolutely love that movie. That guy was a good sport if some drunk lady was all up on him. All your food porn pics made me hungry! I could go for some mac and cheese right now. Thanks, Lynn! Grrrrr

 

[pkondz]

Mmmmm... French onion soup and creme brulee in the same meal. Who needs an entree? Also, on a completely different vein... I presume the duck in your pic is waving at another duck? Perhaps Donald? At least that's what I thought when I noticed its foot in the air!

 

[klacey1]

Haha, that drunk lady sounds hilarious. Her poor kids, but honestly, I bet she gave the CM's something hysterical to talk about!
Every time I see a picture of that macaroni, I want to have it! Looks so yummy!!

 

[Princess_K]

That lady sounds hilarious! I bet Armando just loved it

We ate at Chefs de France for the first time in May. I wish I'd tried Tim's dessert..looks delicious!

 

[mermaid764]

Haha that lady sounds hilarious, and Armando was sure a great sport about the whole thing.

Your dinner at chefs looks awesome and I`m excited to try this one soon.

Awesome photopass pics again and I can`t wait to hear more

 

[princess&her4princes]

Hey Lynnie,
SO far behind....will try and get caught up tonight! Love the last photopass pics, so cute!!

 

[thechesters420]

Love the drunk lady story! I hope I can have that much fun!

 

[hollisterluva92]

Mmmmmmm..........food porn makes me happy On my last trip me and my mom were looking for a place to eat dinner and Chefs De France looked soooo good!!!! I'm definitely eating there on my next trip! France is soooo pretty-definitely my favorite of the countries! I just started my ptr! you should come take a look!!!!!!

 

[Cheryl726]

Another fan of Tren-D here! My son helped me pick out a shirt on our last trip in May, he did a great job! Your PP came out great too!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh my goodness!!! I can't believe that lady was acting like that!!!

The food pics have my stomach growling -- I am pretty sure I could polish off a plate of those puff things with no problems!!!

 

[Cat0727]

Yumm, I love Les Chefs. Their mac & cheese is awesome.

LOL at the lady! haha it sounded like Armando had fun with the whole thing.

 

[Mamiamjo]

Lynn,
I love your trip report and your photos, especially the portraits and low light shots. Do you mind sharing what camera/lens you are using?

Thanks Again
