BE's never-ending fun ** 4 completed TR's ** Thousands of Photos

That would be a great rate for sure. But I'm not sure where it is honestly. The only place I've stayed on Harbour or anywhere near DLR without being onsite is the HoJo, lol.

I know there's a handy dandy map somewhere showing where the hotels and whatnot are along Harbour.

According to googlemaps.com, Quality Inn is just behind Mimi's Cafe. There is what looks like a parking lot separating it from Mimi's. And HOJO is just across the street from Mimi's.

 

[Belle Ella]

Huh, I never realized that it was back there. I'm trying to remember walking through the parking lot to get to Mimi's, lol.

I was so thoroughly bummed when we missed our PS for lunch at Caranation. We will eat lunch there next trip come hell or high water. lol

I have to say that alothough my omelette wa awesome, I don't think we'll be back to GK. It was way too expensive for as little as we eat and the few characters we got to see. I think next trip we may try the one a Plaza Inn or PPH

We are SO over character meals. We aren't buffet people to begin with, my daughter eats like a bird, so for us it's a waste of money. I'd so much rather take that $100 for breakfast and go have sushi, or try someplace like NR.

And I'm the exact opposite! Well, I'm not a buffett person -- but I am an I like to eat whatever I can grab person. For me the thing about character meals is the character interaction. I don't even have to be a kid to enjoy them (even though we all know I'm a kid at heart). That experience I had at Goofy's Kitchen last September was just amazing and I would be all sad if I had never gotten to experience that. The whole Dale and the tablecloth thing comes to mind Some are better than others.

I just feel out of place at places that are considered more 'fine dining'. It's just not me.

Well, to be fair, we only ever did the Lilo & Stitch breakfast, and it was a total bust. My daughter wanted to have the character interaction but decided that after our breakfast, she'd settle for finding them in the park.

Aww! I'm sorry she didn't enjoy it so much. I'm wondering if it was just a L&S (well, not Mickey's Surfs Up or something like that) thing. It's one that I've never done before. Did they have things for the kids to participate in? I know Goofy's Kitchen has little dance sessions and cooking lessons : so to speak. It was fun for us to observe all the kids, but it may be targeted to a younger audience. At GK every character was at our table multiple times. Balloo tried to scare both my friend and I. It worked on me -- I shot out of my chair and came close to letting out a full scream. But it was hilarious. I had so much fun. And that was my actual birthday meal.

I can't remember if I posted these two videos:

 

[DisneyStitch626]

The costs are a little pricey for the character breakfasts, but for how often I am able to get down there, I would like to splurge. The character interaction is the thing I am looking forward to the most. When I went there last time, I only met Mickey. He was a must, so we made sure to do that. I remember wanting to meet others, but I don't really remember why we didn't. So this time I am going to make a point of it. And try to add the pictures to my photo pass.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

And I really want to watch those videos, but they won't work on my work computer for some reason. I guess I will have to wait until I get home.

Boo! That's lame. Do you have a blocker at work? They are posted to my Photobucket account.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Well it's not blocked, but that site never completely loads. Like I can log in, but my pictures don't load or anything. It's really weird. It's totally fine at home.

 

[Belle Ella]

Silly technology sometimes!

HA! Look at that. Already to page 103 on day 1 of operation "Close Thread before July 14".

I figure if we can get as close to 1 page per day or more we can do it.

I just really want a new thread to reorganize my TR's on, but don't want to abandon this one until I have to.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Well, it's been about 3 pages already today, so at this rate I don't see that being a problem!

 

[Belle Ella]

Nope! Especially since we've got well over 100 days to go still!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Is Nameless for sure going now? Or is she still on the fence? Hopefully she has officially decided. It's not fair to keep saying maybe when you really don't have too much time left.

 

[Belle Ella]

I really don't know. When I talk to her she says she's saving up money and she didn't say no at all for the first time. She's waiting to hear if we can get the Ent. rate for the HoJo or not. I wish they would get their July dates up already. If it comes down to getting them published in June she'll probably back out entirely.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

That's too bad. It seems like HOJO is pretty random at releasing those dates. Too bad they couldn't be a little more predictable. But I guess theres probably a reason for it.

 

[Belle Ella]

It can be frustrating. But considering it's not something they have to do I don't think I should really complain about it. I am just not patient

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I am not patient either, so I know where you are coming from! We are getting our Disneyland tickets through airmiles, but we only have enough miles for 1 and a bit, so we are scrambling to save as many as we can in the next few months. We've been shopping at Safeway, getting gas at Shell, and eating out at Boston Pizza when we go out! In the end, it will save us $450, but I want to order the tickets now! lol

 

[Belle Ella]

I'm still trying to find ways to save money and way I can. I've been trying to cut back on soda which will save me a lot of money in the long run. But it's a work in progress. It's going to end up being part of my health assesment project for my new health class! Also if I can stop going to starbucks or eating out as much as I do that would help.

It's just hard when I'm in class all evening and want to grab a quick bite to eat to ahve with me!
