What a wonderful update!
I am so glad you took Heather to see American Adventure, everyone needs to see that!
Your fish n' chips looks so good. I don't know what I'm going to get in January but they are a contender for sure!
I can't wait for us to see the American Adventure together!!! I'll sing if you sing LOL!!!!!
Fish and Chips its going to be VERY hard for me to pass those up...YES VERY HARD indeed!!!
I love
Golden Dream, too. Such a pretty song.
We've always had the sweetest Belle CM's, too. Maybe they can see that Brooklynn adores Belle as she is walking up to them, but every one we have ever had pictures with has just been especially gentle and so attentive.
The newspaper wrap is no less than what I would expect for Disney.

Cute touch.
Awww...Golden Dream is amazing! I have the MP3 on my computer and listen to it during lunch LOL!!!
Awwww...yay for kind Belles...I imagine as Bella gets older she too will love meeting Princess Belle!!!
Thank you for the wonderful update! I have a reservation at R&C for May. Now that I am arriving a day earlier I changed some reservations at the end of our trip. I don't know if that makes sense!

I am curious to try their roast with Yorkshire pudding. It is my favorite meal at my parents and I beg my Mother all the time for it

I asked for it on Thanksgiving, didn't happen.

Congratulations and an early Welcome Home for the DVC news. Wherever you end up you will love being an owner.

Very excited for you and can't wait for your decision as to where you will buy.

OOOH you will really really enjoy Rose and Crown it is definitely a must do for me now!! I love that restaurant and both times I have eaten there have ended up in some of the best memories from my trip!!
OOOH we are getting closer and closer just deciding on the number of points we really want!!!
Very intrigued by your DVC teaser. Hmmm.....
That was definitely a fun afternoon/evening! I really liked R&C way more than I thought I would. In fact I am pondering a return when I go back in a week and a half!
Right now we are in the middle of discussing how large a contract we can really afford, my point needs keep getting higher LOL!!!!!!
You really should...R&C has always been a great meal for me!!!
You make R&C sound sooooo good! Makes me want to go again soooo much! There is just too much food and too little time in WDW!!

Congrats on the DVC decision- I LOVE DVC!!! It's WDW
trip insurance!!
I couldn't agree more!! SO much FOOD at Disney...I always walk away having had some of the best meals ever and still wishing I could have tried more...oh what a dilemna to have!!!
What a swell update!!!! Love the pics and the stories! You reallly had your fair share of DIS meets, didn't you!!??

That is awesome! Your Rose and Crown Dinner looked totally tasty! I love good Fish and Chips, too, and so do my boys. This is a QS stop for us this December for sure! OH! And a great big surprise reveal for your October Trip??!! Can't wait!
I do have a very big surprise reveal...even Leslie doesn't know about it LOL

I made her promise to let me write the update when I reveal it to you all!!!!!
OOH you and the boy enjoy those fish and chips...your trip is right around the corner!!!!
Nobby made himself right at home, didn't he, Jen?

I love the pic with you, Christine, and Belle! Too cute!
Nobby always makes himself at home!!! Although I'm thinking I'm going to have to invite some elves over to my house this year...wonder where I got that idea from LOL
Another great R&C review! I gotta get there someday, it sounds SO good. That salad looks delicious! Sounds like a great evening full of friends and food.
Yes Brook...you must go there!! R&C has some great food and the service has both times I have gone been above and beyond!!!! Salad was amazing...might have to get it again LOL!
Great update! I love reading about your trip, it seems such a nice concept to be at WDW and regularly have friends to meet for meals etc. but still have the freedom to break a way and do what you want!
And to tell you a secret: American Adventures makes me wanting to be an American!

It's even inspiring if you aren't American.
It was a really great way for us to meet up I highly recommend it!!!!! Awwww LOL!!!! I'm glad you enjoy the American Adventure so much!!!!
From Wikipedia...
Yorkshire pudding is a dish that originated in Yorkshire, England, and has attained wide popularity. It is made from batter and most often served with roast beef, chicken, or any meal in which there is gravy.
Yorkshire pudding is cooked by pouring a thin batter made from flour, butter, milk and seasoning into a preheated greased baking tin containing very hot fat or oil and baking at very high heat until it has risen and browned. It is then served in slices or quarters, depending on the size of the tray in which it was cooked.
In recent years, it has become more popular to cook them in batches in bun tins (baked in muffin trays or baking tins like Popovers), making individual mini puddings.
My mom makes it with the drippings from her roast. Oh so yummy! Jen, I will take a picture for you at Christmas!
Instead of a picture can you just send me some LOL!!!! Sounds really really good...I'll get the Fish and Chips and you get the yorkshire pudding and let me try a bit LOL!!!
Another reminder of why I want to eat at Rose and Crown!
Yes I highly recommend you and your crew would love it!!!
Your dinner at Rose and Crown looks fantastic! Sounds like a great (albeit a tad wet) evening.
It did end up a little wet but the day itself was amazing and I really really enjoyed it!!!
