Do they serve wine on the Magical Express? October 2011 --- We're back! TR started!

[Queenofallthings]

Great story about the restaurant...made me LOL!!! He's quite the "character" isn't he

Love the tee's ... I think they're perfect for MNSSHP!!

 

[KatMark]

LOVE the Epcot Day plans, Shannon. And I am so glad you are going to LeCellier. We've skipped it the last two trips and I'm beginning to kick myself in the pants for it.

I love the Mike and Scully shirts -- I think they are perfect for MNSSHP.

 

[20thingamabobs]

I love your halloween costumes! That's a perfect way to dress up without risking being too hot. I made shirts to wear to our party for the same reason!

That's too funny about him making up a name at the restaurant! I mean you at least have to give it to him for being creative!

 

[Minnie_Mom]

Love your shirts for MNSSHP... they are too cute! Can't wait to read about your next movie night!

 

[Nermel9]

Aww, your shirts for MNSSHP are so adorable! I love that you guys are kind of dressing up, but not really! I wish I could find shirts like that for Brandon and I, a tee shirt is about all I'll get him to agree to for dressing up!

 

[Shannon84]

Love the idea of being Mike & Sully for MNSSHP! We've been to the party before and it is a blast… you will have so much fun!

I've been to WDW twice during F&W, but haven't tried any of the vendors before (sad, I know!) But it's kinds hard to do when you have 2 kids along who just want to do all the rides and not "boring" stuff like eat food and check out the countries, LOL!

Thanks for joining in I can't wait to get to the party!! It was one of the reasons we chose October for our trip!!

Yeah I could see kids getting bored waiting around to try random foods!!

Next time when you go somewhere to eat and they ask for a name, just give them "Buttercup" this time! Man, now I will have Princess Bride quotes going through my mind all....day...long!

As for the co-worker situation, I can totally relate. We had a staff meeting yesterday on the phone and one of my coworkers on the west coast was talking about how he and his family just got back from a week at the beach and Disneyland. I mentioned how we were going to WDW in September and he asked if our kids were excited. After I mentioned I don't have kids, there was a very LONG silence. It was great! (I should also point out I am the only woman on my team, so they are already a bit scared of me anyway!)

Great finds on the plushes!

As soon as I read your post the other day all I could think was that every time I answered the phone at work I almost called myself Buttercup!

Its funny because most of my co workers have children and no desire to go to WDW ever

It looks like you had some good finds at the yard sale! I need to get a Pooh for DS sometime. I had one when I was growing up that I took EVERYWHERE with me. I think my mom still has him somewhere. He's faded, worn down to practically nothing and had the stuffing sewn back into him several times.

I think if you're going to have someone give you a Vinylmation, it would be better to get a duplicate or one you don't like, just so you don't feel bad about trading it!

The shirts for MNSSHP are awesome! I think that's a great idea to kind of be "in costume" without really wearing a costume.

That Pooh plus we found was in great condition and was only 50 cents, couldnt pass it up...not that I really need a plush anyway I love the look of the older classic pooh and friends...my mom had one when she was younger but I dont think she kept it

I almost hope I don't get a good vinylmation right away, I want to trade it a few times

You got Le Cellier! Nice work!

-You can get the filet without the mushrooms. Just ask.

-Order the cheese soup, then ask for extra pretzel bread. Soup + pretzel bread =

I think I am going to get the filet when I go...no mushrooms!! Though I am sure DBF would eat those if I didnt want them anyway

Now I am REALLY hungry for soup and pretzel bread...sounds awesome

Love your Epcot plans! I used to be bored at Epcot as a kid, but now it's one of my favorite parks, as well.
I couldn't imagine having to direct guests to Soarin' Yikes!

I agree with you on Mission Space. When the ride first opened (when there was only one intensity) I used to go on it several times in a row with no problem. Now, though, I get really lightheaded afterwards.

I laughed when you said you were eating at Le Cellier, the place you don't exactly know how to pronounce, because I know exactly what you mean! I always mumble the name, "I want to go to Le Ce...."

Your Monsters Inc. shirts are awesome!!! I love,love,love them. Defiitely my favorite shirt that I've seen that's going to be worn at MNSSHP.

I can handle any rollercoaster or dropping ride, but most things that spin make me feel so ill, it just started a few years ago...because I used to be able to handle it

Sad part is, I thought I was pronouncing it correctly until DBF and I started dating and he corrected me...see there is a down side to having a disney loving boyfriend

Thank you so much for the compliment on the shirts, Tim made a great find with those and they look awesome in person

Awesome yard sale finds! Those are too cute!!

I absolutely LOVE your Mike & Sully t-shirts! Where did you get them? There is no way my DH would wear a costume to MNSSHP, so a t-shirt similar to that would be the perfect compromise!

And, I too now have scenes from The Princess Bride running through my head! I love that movie!!

Tim found them at Hot Topic, I don't ever shop there, but they have a decent amount of Disney themed stuff...pretty cool!! I never would have guessed Not sure I would have been able to get Tim in a regular costume otherwise

Great story about the restaurant...made me LOL!!! He's quite the "character" isn't he

Love the tee's ... I think they're perfect for MNSSHP!!

He is a character all right!!! My parents think he is hilarious

LOVE the Epcot Day plans, Shannon. And I am so glad you are going to LeCellier. We've skipped it the last two trips and I'm beginning to kick myself in the pants for it.

I love the Mike and Scully shirts -- I think they are perfect for MNSSHP.

I cannot wait to try it out...actually I have never walked into the Canada pavillon before either, just past it and listened to Off Kilter a few times
It looks beautiful in pictures!

I love your halloween costumes! That's a perfect way to dress up without risking being too hot. I made shirts to wear to our party for the same reason!

That's too funny about him making up a name at the restaurant! I mean you at least have to give it to him for being creative!

Can't wait to see the shirts you made!! Its so much easier than trying to wear a costume and be comfortable at the same time!

He is pretty creative...he is also really good at convincing me about something and then later I realize he was all making it up...I can't do that, I would start laughing and give myself up

Love your shirts for MNSSHP... they are too cute! Can't wait to read about your next movie night!

Thank you so much We just had one the other night, it was another one of my favorites!!

Aww, your shirts for MNSSHP are so adorable! I love that you guys are kind of dressing up, but not really! I wish I could find shirts like that for Brandon and I, a tee shirt is about all I'll get him to agree to for dressing up!

Thank you!! I kept asking Tim to dress up and the subject always got changed...somehow So when he brought these to my attention,
I knew we had to get them

Hello! I'm way behind and just joining in now, but at least I made it here before you've actually left! My H and I have gone to F&WF/MNSSHP the past two years in a row, but we're missing this year's, so I'm excited to live vicariously through you!

 

[Shannon84]

Glad to have you reading along!!!

 

[Shannon84]

So last nights theme night was

Lilo and Stitch

To be honest I only picked this one, because it was one neither of us have ever seen before and because Netflix sent this one next by accident Don't worry my opinion changes after we watch the movie!!

I decorated before Tim got home...I was excited to do a luau type of theme

When Tim got home from work, he cooked dinner. It was scallops, coconut shrimp and rice Here he is cooking, wearing his blue lei (to match Stitch - yes my idea)

And here I am enjoying a wonderful rum and fruit juice cocktail that I made up I got some pineapple cups to get us ready for drinks at the Poly during our Ohana dinner

And yes my lei is red - to match Lilo's dress

Here is the finished product of dinner

It was very yummy!!

The movie was excellent!! I have to admit when I visited WDW the last few years and so I was wondering why everyone loved Stitch..I thought he was just some annoying character! After watching the movie..I am a full Stitch LOVER!!! Tim agrees...it was a great movie and great characters...really enjoyed this one!

 

[PrincessAmongPrinces]

Yay! Glad you enjoyed Lilo & Stitch It's one of my favorites!!

 

[KatMark]

Dinner looks great -- I wish I could get my DH to cook like that. But...sorry, we saw the movie and we still don't like Stitch.

 

[afwdwfan]

I never have gotten into the whole Stitch thing myself either. But, like you I haven't seen the movie yet. I might need to watch it sometime before we go.

Looks like a nice dinner and a wonderful theme. You can't go wrong with a luau and fruity drinks from a pineapple!

 

[20thingamabobs]

I'm so glad that you liked Lilo & Stitch! It's one of my favorites (hence why I named my puppy Lilo). I also like Stitch because he's experiment 626 and my birthday is 06/26 I think it's such a cute movie and I usually find myself laughing out loud throughout the movie! Looks like you'll need to doa meet & greet!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

The movie was excellent!! I have to admit when I visited WDW the last few years and so I was wondering why everyone loved Stitch..I thought he was just some annoying character! After watching the movie..I am a full Stitch LOVER!!! Tim agrees...it was a great movie and great characters...really enjoyed this one!

That is a great movie...and I'm glad you came around on Stitch! Now you can also tell Kathy she's wrong about him.

 

[amazingact21]

Glad you enjoyed Lilo & Stitch. That's DF's favorite movie, and I think Stitch is adorable. However, I will admit, I think WDW overdoes him just a little bit. I feel like I can't go half a day in the park without seeing something Stitch-related. So I can see why you'd wonder what the big deal with him was since you'd never seen the film before.

 

[klacey1]

I love Lilo and Stitch-- great movie! Your food fit the theme perfectly! I wish we were as ambitious as you guys!

 

[Becc1]

I am a little behind so I'm going to start with great yard sales finds! I don't get out to many yard sales but when I do I am always on the lookout for Disney stuff!

Also love the tees and especially the Mike and Sulley ones for Halloween! Where did you get those from?

Love the Lilo and Stitch night, the food looks yummy and bonus you got to sit and enjoy a drink while it was made for you

 

[Queenofallthings]

I'm so happy you fell in love with that movie...he really is so cute!

I love the picture of you with your drink...you look so relaxed and comfy!!! Dinner looks amazing!!

 

[PixieMama]

I admit, I've not seen Lilo & Stitch all the way through... just bits and pieces! But my girls love Stitch! They've both asked that I bring them each a Stitch doll back as a souvenir from my trip next month.

 

[KatMark]

That is a great movie...and I'm glad you came around on Stitch! Now you can also tell Kathy she's wrong about him.

Nice try, Mark.
