*Chocolate and Pixie Dust* - An August 2008 TR- 8/29 pg 6: Sort of an update

[TarzansKat]

and jumpin' in!

Hi.

After you so graciously joined my pre-trippie, I thought, let me just go and take a little look see.

Wow! Do you all have some fun over here?

I don't even know where to begin. Your adorable family (that nephew is too cute for words), the cocktail porn, the witty banter...I love it!

Just from what I can remember some of your questions were...

At the Brown Derby, I love the Cobb Salad. The original Hollywood restaurant is where the Cobb was born, and I think, personally, that they make it best. All the other Cobbs you can get at other restaurants are pale imitations compared to the delectable goodness that is a Brown Derby Cobb.

:::thud::: Sorry, getting off my soapbox.

I would definitely stick with the Contemporary as your first night resort. Have you seen photos of the rooms since they've been refurbed? Heavenly! I would like a CR room with Poly amenities. Love that Lava Pool.

Which brings me to another point. I am totally coveting your vacation, and totally pysched for you that you are getting to stay in these awesome deluxes with a fantastic view. Therefore, I require an in depth trip report and many, many photographs.

Also, for arrival day, I think just chilling at the Contemporary is a great idea. Go for a swim, do some shopping, enjoy the arcade. Whatever floats your boat. Then you'll be there for dinner, no rushing, and have a totally relaxed way to start your vacation.

I hope some of that was helpful. Can't wait to hear more!

Thanks for joining us!

I am going to do a tr with lots of photos

I can't wait to try the Cobb salad. I love salad

And I think you're right about arrival day. I think an afternoon swim before Chef Mickey's would be best.

I hope you do a tr!

DH was laughing at me that I'm only on day 2 of our trip in my report. He said by the time I finish we will be on our next trip. Hopefully it won't take me that long, but I have made myself promise not to start my pre-trip report for Disneyland until I finish my trip report.

It's so easy to get caught up in your ptr/tr. Plus you have to share all the details and photos. Can't rush that

Do you think you'll be tempted to start your ptr soon?

Thanks for the warm welcome. I hope to be joining you all for the nightly cocktails.

I definitely need one!

I hear you! I've been nursing a migraine for the better part of the day, and somehow I don't think a glass of wine would help...or would it?

I find a glass of wine often helps to take the edge off...

Or vanilla ice cream with pineapple toppings, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream which is going to be my decadent edge-taker-offer of choice tonight.

Alas! The older I get, the more lactose intolerant I become. The only dairy my poor tummy can handle is yogurt, and I think that's because it has the bacteria in it that helps regulate your digestive system. I'm sorry, that's just so gross to say on a public board.

My many apologies for indulging in a little ZZUB moment.

Wine always helps

I just had cookies and cream. I had to settle for ice cream because no one's going to ring my doorbell and have a Lapu Lapu.

There's some Disney Mail I wouldn't mind getting!

Even better if it were delivered by a hot dancer from the Spirit of Aloha show.

He might be cold in New York at this time of year!

I'll give him a sweater

Hi

I just got some Disney Mom's Club thing in the mail and I haven't had a chance to look around but have you heard anything about it? It looks like a big advertisement.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I'll give him a sweater

Maybe it could be the fire thrower one and then he could warm up that way!

Did you apply for the Moms' Panel? It is kind of like a consolation thing -- I got mine today. Did you open it? There are some goodies inside!

Never heard of it, but then again I've never given birth to anything.

As long as he doesn't set my apartment on fire

That would be bad! Setting off the smoke alarms with his torches!
