Great TR on Poppins Ellen !! Joan sounds like she will fit in with you guys just perfectly !!
I would like to see her version on the Night!!


"Our" Mary was Scarlett Strallen who played Mary on the London stage in 2005 & 2007- maybe we saw the same one!
And wasn't it AMAZING when Bert tap danced on the ceiling and up the walls????![]()
Oh...ok...I know who Flat Winkers is!! She's very funny! Flat or not!! So is there a date for this?
I think it's time for an update!! But mine is (first) going to be about next year's new DISmom who will be joining us, my friend, Joan, aka Dismomwannabe (at least that's what she told me her name is, but let's see if this post brings her out of lurkerdom!). Although I do know she won't see this for a while, because right now she is driving to Iowa to visit her family, and according to her there are no signs of the 21st century on the ranch where her parents live.Anyway....
We had dinner reservations at DB Bistro Moderne, Daniel Boulud's easier on the budget, less fancy (although VERY swanky!) restaurant in the theatre district. They are famous for having a $32, UBER-over-the-top-burger, with foie gras and short ribs IN the burger. I was very excited to try it. Joan, on the other hand, was there for her usual chug-a-lug fest, which she DEMANDED begin immediately from the bread boy!

With every gulp, she would chant, "Over the lips and past the gums, look out stomach, here it comes!"
Wait a minute.... Joan DRINKS???? Alcohol? Oh, I'm shocked!!!! I can't imagine you putting up with that!!!
Although, if you saw Bert dancing on the walls and ceiling, I'm kinda wondering how much YOU drank at dinner!!!!

It was truly amazing! I actually don't enjoy musicals that much, but my friend insisted that we had to see something when we are in London. So I picked the Disney choice.And we were both blown away by it!!! And I think we might have had the same Mary, it was July 2007 in London.

Hey Ellen! I'm on that thread - HI ROSIE! - Jordan and I go back to a DCL cruise in 2005. June 2012 - not sure if we have the days narrowed down yet. DH and I are planning to be there - it's a week at WDW and a cruise - we're thinking the end of the WDW and then the cruise with Jordan - here's the link http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2190985

Coming out of lurkdom to let you know I'm loving this TR!!! I'm so excited about friends getting together and seeing the World their way and having a blast while doing it. Your Mary Poppins adventure is just fantastic!!
Can't wait going on a very similar one of these in the fall with 3 other fantastic ladies and many other DISers in the mix and reading this has gotten me even more excited about our times together!!
Cheers Ladies!
What a great report Ellen! Absolutely loved it. Living out East and being able to go to Broadway must be a blast. You have such wonderful adventures. Can't wait to hear Joan's version though!
Kara - congrats to you daughter on her swimming! How proud you must be.
I will be going down there 9/26-10/04 with ILuvCrush, and meeting up with 2xcited2sleep and Lady Lallie and we have other DIS meets planned too!!!! We are really really excited!
I'm there in the middle of your trip, 9/27 to 10/1- hopefully we'll see each other!![]()
That would be wonderful!!!!!!! It would see we are having a huge DIS together during that time down there LOL
Love the new pictures...and how wonderful that Princess Aurora (she is my favorite) was able to join you for the group shot that is just amazing!!!!
Ellen - I think I might have a problem with Joan. I mean, I don't like that kind of competition when I'm dancing on the tables. There isn't room for two of us up there....... after all, my balance just isn't what it used to be! Although, being the YOUNGEST of the DISmoms..... has that been mentioned before?![]()
oh you guys are the best! I needed a good laugh today.
LOVING YOUR REPORTYou all seem to be having a great time with lots of laughs
Can not wait to hear more![]()
