Oh boy! SIX and he didn't want to play?!?! Eeeeeeek!

I know I think having an older brother is making him grow up faster than I would like. He's always been a thrill seeker, so was bored by playgrounds relatively early on.


I hope your job situation works out, that has to be frustrating waiting on the call!

I love the Star Wars Mr. Potato Heads! I love that whole shop actually, my very first Disney park purchase was made in there, so it holds a bit of nostalgia for me

MM looks pretty good, the decor in there is great! I'll have to put it on my list

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I'll cross my fingers on the job situation Brook! I hope it all works out. The wait on stuff like this though can be tough. You just want to hear something, either way.

Mama Melrose is one I haven't heard too much about. Your food pictures look yummy!

 

[PopArtGal]

Did you ever go to Toni's Townsquare? They have the best fluffy tiramisu. I wanted to try Mama MElrose but it reminds me of Toni's a lot. And we are in love with Toni's. So why change what isn'T broken?

 

[jenseib]

I hope the job works out, but I have to admit, since we may be going in early March, I was really hoping to meet you all.
The food looks wonderful. I am dieting now, and every time I read peoples updates with food I just sit and drool.

 

[MaryAz]

I hope that you hear something about the job soon. I will miss you during each time you plan to go I think you have made me add Mama M to our list. that pic of the chick parm looked really good. Better than the one I had at Via Napoli.

 

[Poolrat]

Did you go back and ride ST???? I so would have ridden with you or even watched Henry if he would have let me ( or you for that matter).


Still have to try MM, but there is always next time.

 

[manntra]

Going back on a previous update I adored the picture of Henry and the Sully hug!!! So cute....cute video too!
I really like that Mike mug too and just might pick that up for my boss
I like the backlot tour for the walk through of the props and going through the costume area where everyone is working....just think that is really neat!
I love all of the skinny palm trees in HS....and love all of your pictures too...I really enjoy spending time there and just taking it all in.
Hope that everything will work out for the job situation It would be fun for all of us to meet up in May....MEK posted the dates we are there and we will be staying at BC.

WOW that is impressive a double post but not even in a row.

How did you manage that one?!?!?!?

How did you manage that one?!?!?!?

I think I might know. I am having BIG issues withthe Dis not loading on my computer properly. Sometimes I get a blank screen and sometimes my computer will deny even having a connection. ( It lies I tell ya)

Anyhow, I replied and waited. I had something else open so I clicked over there and when I came back I guess I went back to see if it went through but this time I got a fatal error. So I reopen the thread and there are 2 but I guess enough time went by between the 2 that manntra snuck in there in between.
I can usually avoid the double post but I guess not this time.

 

[norybell]

Great update, Brook! Mama Melrose looks like a fun spot...I'll have to try it one of these days.

Good luck with the job situation; it sounds pretty frustrating right now, but hopefully it'll work out!

Wasn't the snow gorgeous yesterday?

 

[tinacaplan]

Just got all caught up on your last two days. I keep shaking my head some of these TRs...I think my husband and I missed half of DHS when we were there last time! The manpris are perfection! Max ends up with those at various points, as well. For one thing, they make some shorts so long and for another, they're always a bit big when we first buy them.

HISTK playground looks amazing. Looks like Henry had such a good time and I know Max will love it, too. Its nice that they have the playgrounds around at Disney for small kids to get to move around in the way they like to move.

I also love the architecture at DHS. I think I took more pictures there than anywhere else when we there. Every little detail is just so thought out, I love it. I would love for Disney to design an art deco resort to go along with DHS. I can dream, right?

Sending you good thoughts about the job. I am amazed at your calm and grace. I would be flipping out! In fact, I'm sure I've flipped out about far less in the last five or six hours!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Getting caught up... We're eating at Mama Melrose's for the first time in March. You're update is the second one I've read recently & now I'm even more excited to eat there! I had never seen pictures of the inside!

The Backlot Tour is good just not the same as it used to be. I hadn't been on it in a long time & enjoyed it this past fall.

Good Luck with the job situation... it's hard waiting it out not knowing how it's going to turn out!

 

[3prettyprincesses]

Fab update Brook! Loved Henry's concentration while making his first sundae at Mama Melrose's. And how adorable is he in his little chef's hat? We've never eaten there but after seeing your pics, I might have to reconsider. Our usual place is Brown Derby (which I love and will never change!) but we spend 2 days at HS so that might be a good option for dinner!

Oh man, DH is a huge Star Wars fan! One year for Christmas I bought him and his brother a trivia game and then I kicked both their butts at it! It was pretty funny because they consider themselves aficionados of Star Wars! (And I'm not as in to Star Wars as they are, they still have all their old toys and everything!) Although I must give credit to Charleston Princess for knowing what TK 421 was! I had no idea.

Good luck on the job front too. I recall (several years ago now) having an interview for a job that I *thought* was perfect for me, I *thought* I nailed the interview and I *thought* (see a trend) they'd offer it to me. Well, they didn't and I was was like . Then I interviewed for another job right after that and was like meh, if I get it I get it and it would be a great place to work at. So I got that one! You just never know! One job appears perfect for you and then something better comes along and you wonder why you thought that first one looked so good! Ugh, that last sentence didn't really make sense, I hope you know what I'm talking about! I hope it works out for you although it would be a bummer to push back your trip. However, May should be gorgeous at Disney! And it's something to look forward to, especially when you're working. It sure sounds like they're still interested so hopefully you'll hear something this week!

Me too! I'm getting the black screeen thing and all sorts of weird stuff. And hten today I keep getting empty emails from boards@disboards. Are they doing an upgrade?

 

[disneyfan61]

Love your pics of Mama Melroses. That is our fav at DHS. We are going back on our May trip. Too bad you are not going the last week of May. We will be there from 5-23 to 5-29.

Good luck on the job applications. It sounds like you have some good prospects.

Love the pics of Henry making his sundae. He was taking it seriously!!

 

[crazycatlady]

Very fun TR! You have totally convinced me that I need to stay at the Boardwalk Villas sometime in the near future! All your pictures help me feel like I am close to DW and your little Henry is ADORABLE! My DS has the Donald Duck-butt hat he is wearing at Philharmagic. Excited to read more!

How long is the walk from Boardwalk Villas to Epcot?

Good luck on your job situation! I got permanently laid-off from the job I have had since I was 16 (24 years) early last year and I know how frustrating it can be to wait for "news". Good things will happen soon, I'm sure.

I love the same front area of FW in Epcot that you do. So peaceful.

 

[micandminforever]

I loved all of the pictures of DHS. Henry is so cute with the characters. Next time I visit the back lot I will be looking for the W D sub station.

I wish you the best of luck on a job. If the job does not work out see you at the small world meet.

 

[onescgirl]

Good luck with your job searching. I hope you will get it or at least another great option soon!

 

[onelilspark]

Aw, when I was little I had an Ewok I slept with each night.

Good luck with the job!
