I'll see what I can do for you. Not sure about getting out there this weekend.

You know the wife and Mother's Day thing...I know I be fine with going if it was Father's Day.

Besides they always give the Mother's a carnation when they enter the park,, so that should make up for going.

On a side not they never give the Father's anything on Father's Day.

I think a chocolate remote control or a Fruit Roll-Up Tool Belt would be a good idea.

Now that is an idea! I don't think it would get my DH there though, lol.

I am really loving the trip report and all the great pic! Almost EXACTLY a month until we are there! I LOVED all the Fantasyland pics, thanks so much, its one of our favorite "lands" that's for sure.

How about ToonTown for an upcoming trip?!

 

[KatGarcia]

How about a limited edition pic of mickey on a wide screen high def tv??? LOL My DH would LOVE THAT!

You simply must make it to the parks sometime from june 18th to the 22nd cause I wanna be the chick in your photos!

PS should i worry about melting in the heat that week?? At least the humidity is lower there, i hate humidity- yet I live on the east coast-GO FIGURE!

Is the instrument next to Dumbo a calliope?

We didn’t make it out to the park this weekend because of the holiday paying homage to the women in my life that I wouldn’t be who I am today with out them so here are some pictures of the Golden Vine Winery located in Disney’s California Adventure that I took earlier this month.

As you approach the winery from the entrance plaza you first come upon some grape vines.

Then there is a nice pergola entrance covered in vines and shaded by trees

This is the announcement board that show what festivities that are going on at the winery. This day the Food and Wine Festival was in full swing.

As you walk up the path there are more vines full of grapes

A little further up the path and you can start to see the winery and restaurant

On the left hand side of the path is a vine covered building where they used to play a movie about the wine industry,

I am not sure if they run it any more, but it was very interesting.

This is the patio area that you enter at the end of the path

This open area service area is were you can order your wine to enjoy on the patio

Up stairs from the patio is the Vineyard Room

This is a fine dining location at the Winery, so needless to say we have never been there, we did manage to get up the stairs once when the staff wasn’t looking, however we were discover and ejected soon after I ordered a grape slushy from the bartender.

Down below is the Wine Country Trattoria which is the casual dinning location for the winery. Now we have eaten here they have the typical Italian fare, I would rate it on about the same level as a “Good” meal at Olive Garden.

This patio is on the far side of the winery, it used to have a number of table and chairs that made a good resting spot on a hot summer day, but lately it is usually closed off and empty, this day they were getting set-up for a wine tasting for the Food and Wine festival.

So just a quick tour of the winery for all you wine lovers out there.

Your Welcome,
Glad you are having fun with it that was the idea behind it…well that and to keep me out of my wives hair

I am really loving the trip report and all the great pic! Almost EXACTLY a month until we are there! I LOVED all the Fantasyland pics, thanks so much, its one of our favorite "lands" that's for sure.

As I had stated some where back in one of these posts, I had stopped noticing all the different wonderful things to look at in the park. Doing these little photo tours has helped me to rediscover the park and it’s wonders.

Hope you have a great time while you are out here.

How about ToonTown for an upcoming trip

I think we can fit that on our agenda, we were back there with Boot Strap, but my camera battery had died so I need to go back.

How about a limited edition pic of mickey on a wide screen high def tv??? LOL My DH would LOVE THAT!

OK now where talking, If were going to dream might as well be BIG

You simply must make it to the parks sometime from june 18th to the 22nd cause I wanna be the chick in your photos!

I don’t know what you are referring too…..

PS should i worry about melting in the heat that week?? At least the humidity is lower there, i hate humidity- yet I live on the east coast-GO FIGURE!

It will probably be on the warm side while you are here; we have been having some very strange weather patterns these days. However when it is 90 it doesn’t feel like 105 because of the humidity, bring sunscreen and plan a mid-day break at your hotel pool or the air conditioned attractions in the parks.

Is the instrument next to Dumbo a calliope?

I think so, it was fun to just spend some time checking it out and listening to the music...well for about 5 minutes before my brain started to scramble and I got an over whelming urge to go on Small World

Reminds me of my MIL (Bless her Heart) when Sorceress and I were dating

It was just some uncontrolled jealously on my part, because I covet your backyard.

Awww...what a nice thing to say

They were wearing Black Socks with their shorts

K.....now you just lost those previous earned brownie points

She has a lot to learn yet, but I think I will keep her around

Hoo boy - I hope you got smacked for that comment

Probably Food and Wine stuff

Any Requests?

I am going to catch up on your latest installment tomorrow!

and do I have any requests.....hmmm......

I just got the DL brochure with my WDW cd - I'll get back to you on that!

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

Wooo Hooo!! Winery Pix!!

It's been a while since we were there and those pictures make me want to go back.

 

[Goofster57]

K.....now you just lost those previous earned brownie points

Hey at least I didn't say anything about them being two different styles of socks...

Hoo boy - I hope you got smacked for that comment

Not sure she has seen this yet, even if she misses it I am sure I have gotten smacked for something that I didn't deserve so I should be even.

How long could it have been?

I told them I was taking some picture for a guy in Montana and they all yelled in unison....IS IT BUZZ?

 

[blue_river]

Hmmm....are you referring to a certain pic? I'm more than curious now

Not sure she has seen this yet, even if she misses it I am sure I have gotten smacked for something that I didn't deserve so I should be even.

I'm guessing you deserve every smack you get

I told them I was taking some picture for a guy in Montana and they all yelled in unison....IS IT BUZZ?

I believe that!!!

Why is it that pictures of faceless women always end up in your TR????

So just a quick tour of the winery for all you wine lovers out there.

I enjoyed your tour and pictures very much

Because some Canadian Government Secret Computer Agent keeps Photo Shopping them into my report to try and get me in trouble.

She wasn't there when I took the picture.

Thanks, hope to get back out this Sunday, if the crowds are gone from the Pirates Movie Premier from Saturday.

Thankfully our passes are blocked out on Saturday,
It gets so embarrassing when we go out and stand on the red carpet with all the yelling and screaming and blowing of kisses to try and get Johnny and Orland's attention , after last year Sorceress said that she would never go back with me again.

I would NEVER do such a thing

Really?? I was wondering about that picture but didn't want to say anything.

Why are Women always getting into my shots….

Okay, it's late here and I read this really fast and did a doubletake....I thought you were wondering why women were always getting into your shorts!! What a relief!

Goofster, you big Googilibear, you are so sweet to do this picture report, especially for us Easterners. I've always said to Ed, "We don't really need to visit DL, we've got WDW!" I think I stand corrected.

Thanks again and I'm looking forward to more!
