Disney done differently, (BOG dining updates pages 202 and 203)

I'm pretty sure the other child had autism. Michal worked very well with him. The sound of the buzzer scared the child. The smell of the powder bothered him. When I told Anakin that I thought the child has sensory issues like him, he understood how the child felt. He said it can be really scarey to get your hair cut.
 
Yea, haircuts can be scary for those with sensory issues. Glad Anakin understood about the other kid without too much of a meltdown.
 
Found some changes in the MK.

Oh I have so many things to comment on. First off Duffy makes the perfect traveling partner for someone that has teenagers that don't want to see the characters. Then I have an honest excuse. I am taking pictures for my great nephew with the characters and Duffy. That was a blast in February!

I love the roasted marshmallows that is great but the movies at the pool is an amazing idea!! What a wonderful way to wind down after a busy day. I didn't catch the part about the Pepper Market before. Talk about poor customer service.

Anakin is adorable!! Love the barbershop idea. I wish they did that in Disneyland. They are only geared to the Princesses there. Not quite fair I don't think. I love the nicknames. Especially the Grumpy one only I have three Grumpy's.:rotfl:

And my final thought for right now is what is a pizza burger?
 
You posted the barber pics while I was replying. That's funny!!!!

He's SOOOO cute with the pixie dust!!!

Thanks!!



Great campfire and movie pics!

And I love Anakin's hair cut. :goodvibes

Thanks! He was proud of his haircut and pixie dust! I have a ton more CSR pics to come. I went around in daylight and night time snapping pics. The only place I didn't get to were the Ranchos.

We love Duffy. Anakin has 4 Duffys. He has the normal size one, the easter one, the graduation one and a very tiny one.

There is a pirate makeover at the MK too, Pirate League. He would love to do that but wouldn't be able to stand the makeup, he hates getting his face painted.

As for the nicknames, Goofy thinks Dori is more appropriate for me. I'm always forgettting things.

3 Grumpy's!!! God bless you on that one!
 
What a lot of fun around the resort...campfires, smores...a movie!? Jealous...wonder what kind of fun things happen at Christmas (or in my case AFTER Christmas mad week).

That hammock has my name on it today! Although I don't think the hot Florida sun makes it too appealing!

The resorts are decorated beautifully at Christmas. Real gingerbread displays can be found at various locations. My favorite is the gingerbread carousel at the Beach Club!!

Every year, we get the kids pics taken in front of the Yacht Club's Christmas tree.

Holidays around the world at Epcot has great photo opportunities! The Candlelight processional is always a favorite too! The Osbourne Lights are quite a sight at DHS. Santa can be found at DTD, MK, and either the Swan or Dolphin.

Universal has their Macy's parade.

Today was nice, temperature-wise. It was overcast most of the day. The lifeguards at Anakin's swim lesson wore sweats and hoodies this morning up on their platform. It would have been perfect hammock napping today.
 
After the hair cut, we went looking for a bite to eat. The bakery was crowded and the only thing Anakin wanted was chicken nuggets and grapes. They had grapes there! We saw that Cosmic Rays opened at 10am, so we went there for "breakfast".

Goofy and I split a bacon cheeseburger. Anakin got the kid's nuggets, more grapes and fries.

The fixings bar was not opened yet. In fact, they didn't even have the condiments plugged in. I stopped a cm and said the machine was out of ketchup. He checked, and it was not plugged in. The tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, etc. were still covered in wrap. He apologized and said this was to be ready at 10am. There were no onions or mushrooms either. :(

(Kaoden, a pizza burger is a hamburger with pizza sauce and pizza cheese on it.)

Next stop was Buzz lightyear, it had a 5 minute wait. Stitch was greeting people after the ride so we stopped by to say hello. He loved Anakin's pixie dust and tried to eat it.

The TTA/People mover had no line. We walked right up and on. Made it the whole way over to Stitch and the ride stopped.

We sat there a long time and were entertained by Stitch's antics with the guests.

We decided to ride again. This time, we found some really cool ears.

2011-08-29068.jpg


I like both the Dumbo and the Figment. Actually, it seemed like there were a bunch of new hats around. There was a really cute, sparkly Minnie head band I kept seeing.
 
I read about the new hats somewhere.....maybe on here?? They're doing a bunch of the characters!! Kendra and us saw a Woody ears hat getting off of Test Track on Saturday. If they have a Tigger one, I'm aaaaalllll over it!!! LOL
 
After the TTA we went on a fast pass run for Grumpy. We got him a fast pass for Space MT, Splash MT and Big Thunder MT. Our meeting place was Aladdin's Magic Carpets. For some reason, Splash MT had just closed and was clearing the queue when we arrived for the fast pass. Space MT only had a 20 minute stand-by wait, as did Big Thunder MT!! We didn't ride any of the mountains. Anakin is afraid his braces will fall off so he is holding off on fast rides until his braces are removed. He didn't believe us that the glue will hold.

The clouds were getting very dark by the time Grumpy met up with us. We gave him the fast passes and he was off to Space Mt. We decided to head to the Princess M&G since we had never done that and figured it was indoors, we'd stay dry!

Anakin wasn't into the princesses this time. When they were at Toon Town he loved to go visit them. The sparkle in their gowns has always intrigued him. This day, he was so over it.

By the time we got done with the princesses, the rain had completely stopped. We were dry and so was Grumpy!! Grumpy and Goofy headed off to Big Thunder Mountain. Anakin wanted to listen to the piano. So we stopped and enjoyed the music for a while.

2011-08-29092.jpg


The guys didn't get to ride the attraction. It was closed too. Grumpy was starved. He asked if we could go to Taco Bell. Anakin didn't care, he was done at the MK and just wanted to go back to the resort to swim.
 
Our evening was a repeat of Friday night. We went to the campfire and the movie. The movie shown on Saturday was Up. Friday it was Tangled. We went to bed early because we wanted to get to DHS early to sign up for Jedi Training Academy.
 
Thank you. I wondered about that. There are so many more places to eat at WDW than there is at DLR.

I miss the People Mover in Disneyland. They took it out years ago, it was a nice ride to relax on. I love Anakin with the Princess's my son was like that when he was younger. Now that he is 15 he probably would love to go see them for another reason.:rolleyes1

It is so nice to sit and relax listening to the piano player. Last time I was there I got to see Alice, the Mad Hatter, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum and the Queen of Hearts playing musical chairs at Coca Cola Corner while he was playing the piano it was a lot of fun.
 
Anakin looks very handsome with his new hair cut! and way to rock the confetti :cool1:
 
Yep, we got stuck in the horrible downpour!! Thank GOD for Kendra, who had internet on her phone, so we knew when it was clearing! We made a run for it to what we thought would be Great Movie Ride, and it was closed, so we went into the shops, and we were wet, and I was FREEEEEZIN!! That was after the texting back and forth!! We hopped to Epcot, let the guys see Capt EO, I saw it with Julie that Monday before for the first time, and thought it was cool. We were gonna see the movie in France, but i said NO! That's mine and your thing to do!! LOL Anakin and I did promise we'd do splash mtn together.....I guess I'll have to wait, or maybe I can convince him......what do you think? LOL
 
Oh, I forgot to mention too, after the storm passed that afternoon, the weather was PERFECT!! It was sunny, NOT hot, and breezy, it felt like late October!! Georgous! After we dried I was a little better, but I freeze easily LOL We all got in my car, and I gave everyone napkins!! I think Kendra was thankful! LOL
 
Christy.....want to let you know I'm keeping you in my prayers for good news about your tests.

Thanks you SOOOO much!!! :hug: I'm not so patiently waiting, and jumpy when the phone rings. I get to go grocery shopping in the morning, that'll get my mind off it for a little while. I got an appt with my dr to get my pain pills refilled on Friday, I'll ask them to call down to the diagnostic place then if they haven't heard anything as of yet. They should have time, it's a PAIN to get the narcotics each month!!

I'm sure the waiting is hard....get your answers and then you can move forward....I know how hard it was for my mom when she had breast cancer, but was caught early and she now a proud survivor 6 years out!
