Disney at Christmas... perfect, Disney with friends...priceless! A December 2024 Susan and Caroline adventure! update 04/21 x 2!

Hello Everyone!

I really enjoyed seeing all the Dapper outfits and the group of people are really wonderful to visit with. I do not own much “Dapper” wear but the dress I brought was very comfortable and was a sweater dress for the “winter” theme. I really enjoyed this and now Susan and I are part of the Dapper group on Facebook!

My drink was definitely the Lamu Libation. It is delicious, I go between this one and the Leaping Lizard! The Lamu Libation is a strong one! Just how I like my drinks :rotfl:

I took a picture of the inside banners in Nomad Lounge but I agree 100% with Susan the outside deck is the place to be when at Nomads.

The chairs inside swallow up a petite gal like myself and I literally was very uncomfortable! Kinda like this :lmao:

I got a one last Christmas Dinoland picture! :sad:

I of course had to get another picture of one of the cute Magical Menagerie puppets!

We had a great time in AK and our Christmas party is coming up soon. Spoiler we did something Andi doesn’t like to do much anymore and We loved it! 😊
 
A very "Dapper Day" at Animal Kingdom!
I did not know they were doing dapper days at AK now.
This morning was a Disney milestone for Caroline and me as we were attending our first ever official Dapper Day event!
I hope you enjoyed yourselves. :) Did you see many other dapper folk?
We were meeting up with Billie who has become quite involved with the Dapper Orlando group
Really! That's cool. :)
I noticed a favourite and elusive friend off to the side.

Wow! You've got a good eye to spot her in there.
I had such fun listening to a few small children who couldn't believe she was real.
:goodvibes
You all look terrific!
Her Chip and Dale Christmas outfit was the cutest!
::yes::
Look at those smiles. :goodvibes
Look at them all! I didn't realize there were that many!
Of course we had to admire her beautiful bow....

Certainly is quite the bow! (bows?)
We headed to Dinosaur next where I look as though I am trying to grab the dinosaur to bring it back with us????
:laughing:
Did you get him?
Caroline and I had put our names on the wait list for Nomads. When we arrived there we were seated inside but I just wasn't feeling it and asked if there was anyway we could be moved to an outdoor table. Thankfully one had just become available. I mean how can you beat that view?
I love Nomad. And sitting outside (when the weather is nice) is the best. :)
Caroline went for the Lamu Libation (Starr African Rum, Cruzan Banana Rum, and Guava Purée with Orange, Lime, and Pineapple Juices topped with Gosling's 151 Rum).
So... was there any rum in it?


:rolleyes1
Help a girl out, Caroline!
:laughing:
Meanwhile I went for the Snow Leopard Salvation (Vusa Vodka, Belle de Brillet Pear Liqueur, Mint, Lime Juice, and Ginger Beer). This is a new favourite of mine.
I don't care for ginger beer... but otherwise, it sounds good.
Coconut-Curry Sauce
Nope! But the rest all sounded good.
Naturally we had to have churros.
::yes::
Sadly a couple of these churros were a bit overdone. Was I disappointed? Yes. Did I still eat them? Also yes.
:lmao:
 
I really enjoyed seeing all the Dapper outfits and the group of people are really wonderful to visit with.
Glad you had a good time! :)
the dress I brought was very comfortable and was a sweater dress for the “winter” theme.
And you both looked wonderful. :goodvibes

Didn't know there was one... but I'm not really on FB anyways. I do get their emails on a regular basis.
The Lamu Libation is a strong one! Just how I like my drinks :rotfl:

Wow you girls look fabulous! Love your Dapper Day outfits. Very stylish indeed.
Loving all your Safari photos. You really got a lot done this morning and I can think of no better way to take a break than food and drinks at Nomads. It all sounds so delicious ( even the slightly over-cooked churros 😋).

Any of your dresses are perfect for Dapper Days. :)
Thank you! I do love my Disney dresses. Now I am trying to decide which ones to bring to Disneyland Paris with me. :)
We were in WDW during one of the Dapper Days. The clothes they wore were very authentic. It looked like they were having a great time in their outfits. One of their activities was meeting for drinks at the Boardwalk and traveling to Hollywood Studios for the evening. :)
There were some absolutely incredible outfits! The level of detail and the accessories were amazing!
Caroline's drink sounds delicious. :)
I know she really enjoyed it.
What great dresses!!! You look very dapper.
Thank you so much!

It's a fun group with so many great activities planned.

With the price of those drinks they better be strong.

I love the deck at Nomads!
I did not know they were doing dapper days at AK now.
They rotate between the 4 parks. December was AK and Studios while the Spring Dapper Days this coming weekend is at Mk and Epcot.
I hope you enjoyed yourselves. :) Did you see many other dapper folk?
It was so much fun! There was a big crowd out. My favourite was seeing a couple dressed to the nines (her in an evening gown, him in a tux) strolling along the path between African and Asia.
Really! That's cool. :)
I know she loves the group and is meeting so many nice people.
You all look terrific!
Thank you!

Me either!

We'll meet for drinks there in 2029.

Just a little.... :rotfl: :rotfl:
One of the nice things about going to WDW with Dis friends is being able to do fun things. :)
Absolutely!

Huh!
When I went, they only did MK and Epcot.

Love this. :)
