I love when CM's go out of their way to make some extra magic! 
and it was freezing cold in there.
Can't wait to hear all about your dinner !
Nice pics of the Beauty and the Beast show- one of my favorite things in the parks.
The "Hollywood" pose in front of the Tower or Terror is great!
What a great picture!
I completely agree with your review of Sci Fi Dinner. When I went back in April we had a couple of coughing/hacking hitch hikers behind us
I totally agree with you when it comes to the food offerings at DHS . CS meals are especially terrible . We however do really love the Hollywood & Vine dinner meal although most don't . Never have done any of the other TS meals except 50's Prime-time which didn't strike our fancy either . Sorry you didn't score FP again for TSM and how weird that everyone was there riding that ride . LOL Love the picture of Dale dipping you on Hollywood Blvd. , how Magical
All the shows are wonderful as are the live street performers! You, Piper and your mom are going to love it! 
Neither of us are big fans of getting our picture taken so most of our family trip pics only have Caitlin but since she wasn't there we were forced to get our pictures taken 
Isn't it funny that when you know you'll be doing a TR you take pics based on "I know the Dis would want to see that..."
I'm so excited! I just ordered tickets for Disney on IceWe started going to these when Caitlin was just 2 and went every year for many many years. We haven't been in several years so I'm really excited! AND....they sent me a code so I was able to pre-order before they go onsale to the public AND I got opening night which was just 10$ each
I ended up with 3 of the 55$ seats for 45$ total! This will help give us some Disney magic as we wait for September
Aww thank you! Dale loved the pic so much that I actually had it put onto a canvas as a Christmas suprise but sshh nobody tell him
We just got the Disney on Ice Deal as well.
We already are going to Disney Live! in Feb so now we have to decide if two shows are in order!!
Princess Tiana! She is of course lovely on the outside but she is also a hardworker from a loving family who dreams of having her own business. (she also has some great outifts and I love her wedding dress!) Her strength and drive make her a wonderful role model for young girls! And her prince....well IMO he's the cutest Disney prince ever he even out cutes Aladdin! (hard to believe right?) Anyway, it's a cute story with fun characters and sidekicks that steal the movie. The music is toe tapping although IMO not all that memorable. In the end good wins out over evil and the Prince and Princess live happily ever after, which is exactly what we all want out of a Disney movie Let me know what you guys thought of the movie!
Guess he had stepped out for the day staying at those DVC resorts....
As a parent we realize just how fast our children grow up and that line sums it up perfectly! So we caught the show and I was pleased that this Ariel was much better than the one we saw in May! Maybe she'd just been having a bad day?
so rather than wait for the next we decided to take the bus to the TTC and then take the monorail from there to the GF. This proved to be a big mistake!
The CM there suggested we "just walk to the GF" and he told us it was "15 minutes tops" This information was extremely incorrect! It took us about 15 minutes, walking briskly in the 95 degree humidity, just to get to the Poly. I will admit I was getting very cranky! When we finally reached the Poly's main bldg we stopped in,hoping the monorail was back up. It wasn't . We spoke to a CM there who couldn't believe we had been told the GF was a short walk from the TTC. He hailed us a cab to get to the GF which only cost us 4$ and helped my mood ever so slightly By the time we got to Narcossee's we felt really hot and sweaty but when we were handed personalized anniversary menus we forgot all about the trial we went through to get there.

SShhh! Don't let Caitlin hear about us being able to will it to herGreat Update Dawn. What a bummer about the transportation to the GF. That stinks when you just miss a bus. Then the walk to the Poly. Grrrrrr! I'm glad you were able to get a cab so quickly and, at that point, it was probably worth whatever they charged. Here - take my wallet - just get me there!!!!!
Your trip to Narcoosee's sounded worse then mine. If you remember, we parked in the self parking lot that was 1/2 mile away!
Your dinner looks strickingly familiar to ours. Denny had the crab cakes and I had the surf and turf. Denny also had that cheescake which tasted devine. I'm so glad you enjoyed your meal. See your pictures makes me want to go back RIGHT NOW!
I know you resisted DVC, but I actually think it is great for short trips, as well as longer trips. But, I do agree with you - there are a lot of great promotions to take advantage of right now. Still, I think you guys would be perfect for DVC. I'm really pleased with it. In the future I hope to combine it with the free dining promotion. I would like to do 1/2 free dining and 1/2 DVC. Best of both worlds!
Plus you could will it to Caitlin, who would be eternally grateful!
I think it's an idea we'll probably really consider when our family grows after Caitlin's married and has kids.
