Yeah, H&V is the one I'm really on the fence about. It's the only Studios TS I haven't tried yet though, and one of my friends likes it.Not sure I'd pick H&V for myself, but the rest of those choices sound good to me.
I am off to pick up DD Kristin and her friend for the second day of my birthday celebration. We are headed here for lunch at their Bistro and then a personal wine tasting event with their winemaker. I am a lucky lady! I will try to remember to take photos!
Have you thought about asking a CM to have it delivered to the room? They could add some balloons and an autographed picture of Mickey & Minnie (or whichever character picture they happen to have) and the surprise her with a delivery while you're there.
Happy Be-lated Birthday Wishes, Elin! 
No one is gonna tell me what I can or can't put on MY ice cream! 
Sheesh! If I wanna be fat & happy, that's MY choice!
About the ice cream topping ban - that's just CRAZY!
Dinner doesn't have characters.I think the Playhouse Disney character meal part is what keeps me away.
And to Elin: That bistro looks fabulous! Have fun!
Sounds like a fun day!I am off to pick up DD Kristin and her friend for the second day of my birthday celebration. We are headed here for lunch at their Bistro and then a personal wine tasting event with their winemaker. I am a lucky lady! I will try to remember to take photos!
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE DONE THIS.... it is SO Unamerican...
THE DAY THE SPRINKLES DIED....
Albany law stops sales of certain ice cream dips
Posted: July 10, 2009 09:49 PM EDT
Hold the dip cones at some of your favorite ice cream stands, because an Albany County law has stopped the sale of certain kinds.
Phase two of the County's ban on artificial trans fat went into effect on July 1st, meaning that food products containing over 0.5 grams per serving had to be eliminated at restaurants. This includes fat in mixes, prepared food and food ingredients.
NEWS10 previously reported on some local bakeries that were affected by the ban, but now it means that some kinds of the popular ice cream topping are on the list. The Ice Cream Shop, on Central Avenue in Colonie, is one of the establishments affected.
"If it's a law, I want to be compliant," said owner of the Ice Cream Shop, Antoinette Kranz, "As far as the customers go, they're the ones that are upset."
Kranz posted signs saying that she would have to take dips off the menu following the enacting of the law. Officials said that sprinkles were okay, but the dips had to go.
"All dips are way up there in trans fats," she said, "It's the nature of the beast, if you will. It's the way they make it."
Needless to say, her customers weren't crazy about the idea.
Kranz quoted a common reaction, saying, "'Oh, so now the government's telling me what I can't eat and what I can eat."
She then shrugged, telling NEWS10, "but it's such a small thing."
Kranz says everything else on the menu is still available. Even so, some local ice cream lovers say this goes too far.
Joann Diblasio, of Delmar, said, "It's way overboard. There are so many more unhealthy things in the City of Albany that this is ridiculous."
Kurver Kreme, also in Colonie, told NEWS10 they have been made aware of the trans fat ban, but said that their toppings will stay as they are free of the bad fats.
NEWS10 spoke with numerous Albany County legislators on Friday. Some of them said candidly that they believe that the law might have gone too far in this instance, but as things stand right now, the trans fat ban will stay as is.
nope! His phone would have been in the beer if he had been attached to it like that guy was!

These lawmakers are out of control. I don't think they have any business telling anyone what they can or can't eat. If I choose to chow down on nothing but trans fats, weight 300lbs and die of a heart attack that's my business and nobody else's.

I am glad you have climbed out of your funk and are back to posting delightfully funny stuff again. Are you sure you aren't my older DD??? You write like her and your situation sounds very similar right now.
I've been a real slacker this week ... sorry about that.
Anyhoo ... Elin thanks for sharing that pic of you and your hubby - I think you guys look great!
Michelle ... who is gone by now ... have a great, safe, drunken trip!
Planky's Michelle ... that law is a travesty. Lawmakers won't outlaw things like cigarettes which have been proven to kill people, but will outlaw ice cream toppings in an effort to keep us all healthy because we're obviously too stupid to make our own choices.
And as for that woman in the article who was quoted as saying "it's such a small thing..." that's how freedom gets whittled away. It rarely disappears in big chunks ... it's a slow and subtle disintegration. Today you can't have sprinkles tomorrow you can't have foie gras ... oh wait ... that's already happened!!!

Thanks for the suggestions!
We are doing CP the morning of our ressie at V&A's. I thought about trying this, but I didn't want to rely on a CM to make a magical moment and then have it fall flat.
Have any of you tried something like this?
As far as having it delivered - we are staying at Fort Wilderness Cabins and I wasn't sure if that was a service they would even offer...
Have a great time at lunch & the wine tasting!
