My favourite candy since I was a little kid. They are so good.Kinda like M&M's but waaaay better.
) but everyone else seems too!!
Well I will forgive you for being one of those few weirdos that don't like them. JK 
The Mary Poppins theme is fun & very fitting for Main Street.
The party is tons of fun. Melody mentioned that her daughters (&/or DIL's) helped her bling out the shirts during the Super Bowl. I imagine it was weeks of work to complete them. I know the design is taken into a printer who puts them on the shirts. I'd say 80% of the girls get their shirt blinged out. The pics of these shirts don't even begin to show you how beautiful they are.
The Carousel let us use the room for free if we had Quizno's cater the food. (there was a dollar amt needed)......it was also assumed that we would have people staying there. Last year we had 6-7 rooms.....this year we only had 1......so that was not good as it was brought up by management.
We've had the Carousel breakfast room for the last 2 parties and prior to that the first 3 years was held in the conference room at the HoJo. I believe they got the room for free, but again.....a number of people were staying there. Not sure where we're holding it this next year.
I am actually really pleased with how DL has revamped their dining menu. Plus, they really cater to people with food allergies.
But it is what it is. At least Tortilla Joes and Cafe Orleans both remembered her and she got LOTS of birthday wishes as we walked around.
)! I tried to get photos of as many of them as I could. I still have to edit all the photos from my Nikon and add them to my FB album. They were really creative!

I guess it make them even more special
Can't wait to try them next year!
Most definitely
Oh cool. That great they do that. You bad girls....only having 1 room booked
That is nice the hotels work with you girls. Looks like a lot of fun
So little WDW spoiler for ya', if you like the Holly Jolly Bakery, WDW is the HJB on steroids!! But we are on a DL board over here so I won't upsell the competition too much - lol.
Laurie yea I was kind of bummed about the restaurant and DLH not remembering my mom either. She paid a LOT of money for both that dinner AND for the hotel. We rented two rooms for 2 nights and I think she spent more on those two nights then ALL the other rooms we had the rest of the week. She likes to splurge cuz she has gotten used to all the little extras and with her bad knee likes to be as close as possible. Personally as much as I LOVE those rooms we usually can't afford them and are perfectly happy with a good neighbor but you are so right. When you spend THAT kind of money you like to know that you GET those little extras. When we checked in we saw them give a bouquet of balloons to a family who it was obviously someone's birthday and PP did this for both my mom AND for Shane when we went last summer. Then like I said they put the chocolates in one room but not the other??? Kinda weird. And I KNOW Catal does a birthday dessert cuz they did it for me on my birthday. Mom had her button on and I specifically mentioned it was her bday when making the ressie. We didn't expect a lot but even a little bowl of ice cream with a candle would have been nice.
Personally I think it would be a blast to always be there on my birthday but she is actually glad that the trip might move back because I think she feels bad that she can't celebrate the day with my dad.
Interesting about the carousel and based on just the convos that were had I think we are either going to have to move back to hojo or try something else because it didn't sound like that many wanted to stay there next year.
I honestly really liked the Hojo and would stay there again but it is too far for mom to walk. So not sure where we will end up if we go next year but would be cool with M&G being there again!!
Hope you had fun last night with Mike and as always anxious to see your next installment.
I loved the toe tags (especially mine
Those sound soo yummy. I wonder why the US can't get them here.
Yup, going to have to start a DisDiva folder
Laurie, hope your weekend is going well
Getting ready to take off to Portland tomorrow afternoon. As the surgery day comes closer, the more freaked out I'm getting. Michayla has no clue what's coming & I'm sure she'll do much better than Mike & I. No parent wants to know they're taking a saw & opening up their child's chest to work on their heart.......... My anxiety is high right now & feel like I'm on the verge of a panic attack. Hoping to keep everything in check!! I will be able to take my laptop with me, so I'll work on my TR while we're in the hospital......this way you'll stay up to date on how she's doing as well.
. OHSU is such a good hospital, having the surgery there is a blessing. I will keep your family in my thoughts. Glad you are going to be able to post updates during surgery. Stay strong .
Laurie,
I love Tyler's photos.
I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanx Michele!! I know it has to be heart wrenching knowing Michayla will have no idea what is happening
Patty
Thanx Patty!!
