The churros are SO much better in California! Really. We haven't had one at US but have had them at WDW. And for some reason they just aren't as good there. I think it's because they sell so many more at DLR that they are constantly fresh. We're seriously addicted and need a "churro budget" on every trip it seems.
That is good to hear that Katie wants to get pictures with the characters and with all the pictures you take, it will make a good scrap book when she gets older and glad she did that.
Looks like I didn't read your report clearly and saw the picture and assume you rode the swinging gondolas during the trip. As with PiO and me about the swinging gondolas, when we were about to ride MFW back in 2013, her family tried to get me to go on the swinging-gondolas. I know that DS wanted to go on it a lot and PiO tried to encourage me to go on it and they did. But when we got closer to riding it, PiO had a change of heart and went with me on the non-swinging gondola. Her DH and DS went on the swinging gondolas. It was a good thing we did that or we would have rode the swinging gondola twice since the CM's let us ride it again since there was no one in the queue.
Mickey's winter attire is so cute. Sounds like a fun morning, love all the shots from up above!
And churros for breakfast sounds like my kind of thing!!
I think Mickey's Fun Wheel should be renamed to Mickey's Fun Wheel of Death
Just stopping in to say hi! I recently finished reading your last trip report and am so glad you have started another! I have loved seeing your beautiful photos from both WDW and DLR, and the dresses you have made for Katie are just spectacular!
My mom and I went on our first mother/daughter trip to DLR in January and came across a churro stand in Downtown Disney. I was beyond excited because they had Oreo churros! Two of my favorite things
After riding that once, I knew they had to have them. I hate to admit this, but I'm now afraid of Ferris wheels.LOL. I was afraid of that! Thanks for the quick reply.
So much for the "urban legend" theory.
Maybe I'll have to meet up with PiO and you on our next trip so we can all chicken out together! I could totally see myself doing just that. 2 trips around would have definitely been too much for a first trip though. I won't share that little piece of the story with Katie.

I'm in! Loving all of the photos and cannot wait to read more!
If we are all there together, I'm going to MAKE both of you go on MFWoD with me.....swinging gondola side. AND I'll even bring sick bags with me.
Yay found your new trip report!
LOL. I'm just saying that if that ever happened....... I would require you to keep your camera in your bag then entire time. I would insist on no photographic evidence of the experience!
Mickey's Not-So-Fun-Wheel. Our family went once on the swinging cars and I said never again. Fast forward four years and the family is forgetful enough to do it AGAIN while I was getting RSR FPs. Oy. Serves them right. (and these are the people who rode Screamin 7 times in a row)
I hear you on teens/tweens and changing their mind on gifts. Thank heavens for Amazon Prime when I do finally cut off idea submissions!
And mmmmmmm Churros. Best breakfast ever. It's no worse than a cinnamon-sugar donut!!
PHXscuba
Personally, I think if I got you and Bret on the swinging side, I would think we would NEED a picture......as objective evidence that you both got on that side at least once!
Following along!! I just LOVE WOC we sat in the "wet zone" over the summer....won't EVER do that again!! Can't wait til we get to go back!!!
Great shots, as always! And a really nice recovery by the CM's - that Wishing Well Room looks amazing.
I'm 100% in favor of churros for breakfast, btw. It's not a true Theme Park Vacation without at least one Breakfast of Champions.
And Santa looks so much better this year after his little, um, "vacation"....
We're actually kicking around a late October trip. And there *might* be a costume under discussion. I just can't decide if it will feel like something is missing in December when we don't go.
