DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[aspen37]

These pictures are great. Anna, how did you get your GF pictures with no people? The other guests were so RUDE and kept getting in my pictures.

Kathy, I drove by that trailer on my Segway tour last year. The resident wasn't awake and all the inflatables weren't working. I couldn't believe all the carcasses of Christmas inflatables in the little yard around the RV. Thanks for the picture of them all blown up.

Hi Kim! I was staying at the GF and got up at 6:15AM and took the pictures. I knew not that many people would be up and around at that hour. It was so nice having the lobby all to myself practically.

Now that's what I can't wait to see...

Same here! It brought tears to my eyes the first time I saw it.

You'll love staying at the Grand. I stayed at the Grand in December 2007. It was beautiful. I am staying only one night during DAP. I wish it was more.

What kind of camera do you use? Great indoor shots. Great outdoor shots. I am shopping for a new camera. Do advise....

Beautiful photos! Makes me feel all Christmas-y.

I've never had Tonga toast. I would like to try it though.

YUM!!! It's soo huge that when they put it down in front of you, you do this but a little of this . Then after you're first bite, it's like . If you manage the finish the whole thing, though, you might end up looking a bit like this .

And don't forget the awesome kona .

Thanks! I love that camera. That was my old Olympus Camedia camera. I bought it in 2002. It only has 4MP, but has a great lens. It quit working a while back. I hope it is just the batteries. I bought a Sony Cyber Shot with 8MP and don't like it as much as the Olympus.

I am SO GLAD that this thread is back to more pleasant topics. I was literally getting nauseous! Lol

I have yet to get Tonga Toast. Would anyone like to meet for breakfast Saturday morning or early Sunday so we have enough time to scope out a seat before the taping?

It is only 37 degrees here today. With the windchill it feels like 30 degrees. I wish December would hurry up so I can go to WDW and warm up!



Here are some random pictures from my December 2007 trip.

Anna does take some wonderful photos. (And she makes a great paparazzi.)

Are you familiar with the rules?
If you suggest it, you organize it.

I'm with you on the topics. It was getting very bad there for a while.

I have yet to have Tonga Toast as well. However, I am booked for breakfast on Sunday I think....

I'm liking this idea!!

Point of technicality for Anne. =)

While Tonga Toast is amazing, I actually prefer the pineapple pancakes with macadamia butter. MMMMM.

I had a Camedia also, LOVED it. Until DS5 was carrying it up the stairs, turned on with the lens out, and tripped and jammed the lens I unjammed it and it still works, but some of the pictures just aren't as good as they once were (sounds like a Toby Keith song ) I now have a Canon D10, I like it, but need to figure it out better.

Do I dare mention I have no idea what Tonga Toast is

Yes, Todd, you are booked. Remember, you suggested it

Ooh, I'd love to!

This sweetly decadent breakfast is one of the most talked-about menu items in Disney World. Served at Disney's Polynesian Resort for more than 25 years, it is on the menu at the Kona Café.

 

[jeanigor]

I know I suggested it and I will be happy to still organize it if there is still interest. However, with the addition to the dining plan to our room package and the announcement of a time for the live taping, I am not sure that I will be attending my suggested brunch.

Anyone come across any good car rental rates yet?

 

[jeanigor]

Nothing too very good that I have found. Still running $40 a day. Too much IMO.

 

[scarlett873]

Anyone come across any good car rental rates yet?

I'm still looking too...found a semi-decent rate using some codes that I found on Mousesavers, but not quite cheap enough for me yet.

Based from my pics from last year, GF is not to be missed. Contemporary had 1 lonely display that I found, but it was Gepetto's workshop with Pinocchio done in all chocolate. Well worth the trip, but otherwise disappointing. I didn't make it to Poly. I know these aren't on the monorail, but consider taking the boat over to Wilderness Lodge, and the decorations at the individual campsites at Fort Wilderness are not to be missed.

Sorry Jennifer, I called you Kathy in my last post. My Bad. Great picture.
