Disney Gives Us the Warm Fuzzies - Take Two. TRIP REPORT HAS BEGUN! 1/20 Pg. 92

[Lady Lallie]

THREE DAYS!

THREE DAYS!!

THREE DAYS!!!

I am so excited. I am SO READY TO GO!!

Yorkshire Pudding from Rose & Crown.

The Yorkshire pudding is the little roll looking thing on the right side. SO YUMMY. Now remember in our many series of negotiations you promised me that I would get a bite of this yorkshire pudding no going back on that you hear!!!!

I have two choices of meals in order to eat this delight.

#1 Sunday Roast - with Yorkshire Pudding, Roasted Potatoes, seasonal Vegetable, and Shallot Gravy. I believe this is what is pictured above.

or

#2 Surf and Turf - Grilled Steak and Fried Fish with Yorkshire Pudding, Irish Potato Gratin, seasonal Vegetables, and Shallot Gravy

I think I might be leaning towards #2. Mmmmm!!

Hmmm...steak and fried fish....hmmmm that does sound yummy but I don't know if I cannot get my fish and chips even if the turf offers fish as a menu item!!

*********************************************************

I have to tell you about the most bizarre Disney dream I had last night.

So my dream begins with arriving at DHS for rope drop for my 4 Parks/1 Day challenge. Of course it doesn't look like DHS but that is where I was in the dream.

So CMs come and get groups of people to walk them inside the park. Weird. My CM comes over and we end up getting in this truck and then an elevator and this weird round about way to get into the park through swamps and country roads. Needless to say I miss rope drop and don't get to ride Toy Story Mania. Then I realize that I'm wearing my work shoes to the park! So in my dream I start freaking out about blisters and decide to go back to the resort to get my sneakers which of course makes me think I'm not going to be able to complete my 4 Parks/1 Day goal.

It was a very stressful dream. I was very happy when I woke up.

I'm with you on the surf & turf..yummy! That dream was too funny..you know you're getting close to something when you start dreaming about it! Only two more sleeps for you, Leslie! Only 3 more for Jen!!

 

[MEK]

I just had to stop by and say....... for 2 more sleeps. I hope you both have a wonderful trip. Your packing list looks very organized. You are worrying me with your comment about not taking the bigger camera. Now that my camera is bigger, I hope I don't hate the size. It actually doesn't feel that big, but I worry about one of the lenses falling out of the bag when I open it.

Anyway - can I share a story on your PTR since I finished mine. A cardiologist that I work with just got back from what was supposed to be a 5 night trip to the POLY. It was a grand gathering. He left 2 days early because he hated it so much. He complained about the weather, the food, and the underwhelming rides. It was a most depressing conversation to which I could only say, "Sorry you had such a bad trip". I can't imagine hating Disney that much, in cold or warm weather. Anyway, had to come to the boards to get a dose a magic to get over that depressing dialogue. And when I come to LL and Jen's TR I always feel the magic!

Have A Great Trip!!!!!!!

I know. I woke up and was like WOAH. I'm going to make sure I leave my work shoes in the car.

What a depressing way to start your week!! How depressing. He must not get the Disney magic at all. Bah Humbug.

I'm sure your camera will be just fine. I just want to lighten my load as much as possible this trip.

Okay I have an airport question. I just looked at the maps and the little picture information and I think I've got it.

So I land, get off the plane and then I take the fake monorail to the Main Terminal and Baggage Claim, right? I just want to make sure I've got that right. I don't want to be wandering around where the planes land looking for baggage claim.

 

[pipersmom]

From what I've seen on the Wish trip reports (We wish trippers tend to write about EVERYTHING..LOL) that's right, Leslie..they all talk about the "monorail" ride at the airport to go get their bags!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Woo hoo for 54 hours!!!

What a horrible dream!

Go with the Surf and Turf -- that sounds good!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

From what I've seen on the Wish trip reports (We wish trippers tend to write about EVERYTHING..LOL) that's right, Leslie..they all talk about the "monorail" ride at the airport to go get their bags!

I think it is too. I just like to be reassured.

I just realized though that I don't know where my Magical Express booklet is! As soon as Marc gets home from work I'm going to have him look for me because I can't go through this entire day thinking I don't know where it is.

 

[aprilisis]

Your "Disney stress" dream sounds SO much like the stuff I have been dreaming. TOO funny!!! We are SO CLOSE- and the weather there is supposed to be awesome!

 

[jenjolt]

First of all with the weather looking like it is, I have decided not to pack my cuddledud pants at all...however I will be bringing the shirt because they look very nice for the layered look I'm going for!!

So tonight is packing night...wish me luck guys!! I have my list and my laundry is done...I do want to hit up Publix and one more store before I pack but we'll see how I'm doing on time when I get home tonight!!!

EWWW...what a yucky dream...missing TSM that would be no fun at all!! I can't wait until we ride that together again...such a fun ride!!!!!

 

[pipersmom]

Leslie- Eeks..I'd do the same thing if I were in your situation!

Jen- Woohoo for packing! I have a feeling I'll be packed and ready a month before we go 'cause we're just that excited!

 

[Native NYer]

Yay for 3 days

You can each order something different from Rose and Crown and split it. That way you get to try two different entrees.

Thank goodness your dream was just that, a dream!

 

[TarzansKat]

I find it really ironic about your dream, because I was getting ready to comment about work pants!

I really can't stand wearing anything work related on vacation. I keep the work and casual part of my life so separate that it's extremely rare I'll even wear designated work clothes on my days off, and to a Disney park? Oh, I'm the same way, hon. Too funny.

 

[Megablocks]

You have it right, you take the fake monorail to the main terminal and baggage claim. That always make me super excited for some reason.

I have had weird dreams before I go somewhere, too, or when I am anxious about something, and I hate it. I mean, a couple of years ago, right when I started thinking about finally cutting off my hair (it was down to my waist), I had a dream that I got it cut, hated it, and cried. It was another couple months before I could cut it. It is even worse when it's Disney related. Yours would definitely stress me out, too.

We're eating at Rose & Crown and the Yorkshire pudding is definitely something I want to try. mmmmm. I hope your last Monday went well!

 

[Flossbolna]

Leslie, don't worry about the ME booklet! Even if oyu don't have it, they will let you on the bus. They will just print out a new voucher for you!

We did this twice. Our TA leaves all our documents at the hotel so we only get them at check in (instead of mailing them to Europe with the danger of them getting lost in the mail). We just had to go to the ME check-in at the airport and told them that we don't have the booklet and then we got all set up. It only matters that you have a reservation. I think Disney even stopped mailing booklets to international travelers...

[eandesmom]

Yorkshire pudding.

YUM!

on the dream, I'd have woken up stressed too!

for TWO DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmn. Work pants. You have a very late flight, I'd be wearing sweats myself. Something about the words "work pants" just doesn't sound comfy!

Have A Great Trip!!!!!!!

this is a very sad story, ugh, scrooge just didn't get it!

I know. I woke up and was like WOAH. I'm going to make sure I leave my work shoes in the car.

You got it on the airport tram and you'll be fine without the ME booklet, they can look you up.

I LOVE that Jen is bringing a hamper. I brought one last year and plan to again this year! Then I just make one of the kids return home suitcases the dirty clothes suitcase!

 

[manntra]

What a great way to start off my food envy day....Yorkshire Pudding!! I might go with #2 also....you and I can always (on very special occasions ) have roast and YP. Although that is not nearly enough YP for me...maybe I can get an extra side It will be interesting to taste what is hopefully an authentic version.
What a weird dream!! Get that right out of your head and put your work shoes in an airport locker before you leave!
Hope you have a quick day at work today!

[kschafer]

3 days and only 2 sleeps

I hate to admit that on our last trip, I had crazy dreams like that every night It made it hard to get relaxing sleep because I woke up stressed each morning. I'm sure hoping I'm not plagued by that again!

My plan is to go with the surf and turf...best of both worlds!

and Jen, I always bring a hamper with me on vacation!

 

[addictedtothemouse]

Woo hoo, two more sleeps!
Yay for "way too big" in the pants department. Much better than the "I pulled out my vacation clothes and they're too small" department.

 

[IluvXU]

So excited for you and Jen LL! Crazy Disney dreams... pretty soon it will be live from Disney dreams!

 

[TravelBug86]

OMG... weird but your dream sounds like an actual experince I had at DHS during my trip a few weeks ago! Here I'll tell you what happened and its going to freak you out..
SO- I don't usually do the whole rope drop thing in order to avoid the "stampede" of people, but on this particular morning I was focussed on TSM! So, the rope drops, the inevitable stampede occurs. Now, there ARE CM's guiding people in what direction to go.... no trucks or backroads or anything though LOL! Now, I was wearing flip flops and some psycho stampeder stepped on the back of my shoe and my foot RIPPED OUT OF the top of my flip flop, brusing the top of my foot! So I go get a fastpass for TSM and decide to go on Rock n Rollercoaster since all the crazies are at TSM.. so on sunset blvd what do you think happened? My flip flop broke- I had no shoe!!! So I pop into a store praying for flip flops.. all they have are the $37 croc flip flops But I'm shoeless so I have to buy them!!! They gave me the BIGGEST BLISTER, and DH had to RUN (literally.. we were staying at BCV..) back to the resort and get me my sneakers!
You have to admit... there are some freaky similarities between your dream and my real life TSM Meltdown!!!!
