I just read your update, being far behind on the DIS (as usual lately!). I have never seen that Monsters Inc entrance and we even did that meet!

We just saw it through the store -- where was that wall? It's adorable.
Sorry to hear about all the hassle with the cell phone. But what a very sweet DH to take care of it all!
GREAT DIS meet!!! I didn't realize Cynthia was there already - I think I just posted on her thread the other day asking how the PLANS were going.

Ooops!
Love the update from you too Cynthia! I look forward to all the pics!
The wall was the other side of the meet and greet area, but according to a previous poster (Markus) it is no longer there. That's a shame...
I was so glad that the cell phone issue was worked out in the end since it was Katharina's birthday the next day!
DISmeets are so much fun, I am really surprised how easy it is to talk to people in real life that you only met online..

I am still sad that our meet was so short, but I think then I was really not yet very sure about meeting "strangers" and I did not want to burden my friend who I was travelling with with spending time on a DISmeet. Well, I am certain we will get another chance one day!

for another great Dismeet!!! So excited that she was able to spend time with you

Cynthia is one of my traveling mates for May Wonder if she will save me some authentic gummies for then?
I have been terribly behind on all of my subscriptions

You recently posted some terrific PP pictures

Aside from the rain it looks like you had a wonderful day/night at HS

I really love watching the streetmosphere too....they are hysterical to watch

I agree with you on Sci-Fi....the food is....just not that great...BUT I LOVE the BLT soup and the regular cherry coke! It is a fun atmosphere and I enjoy watching the "future" clips as do you
So excited for your first trip home....I don't remember if I commented on that before....unfortunately we are missing each other by just a bit. Although happy to see that you will be able to meet Ellen

She is soooooo funny and sweet

I hope I get to spend more time with her on another trip....that girl knows how to have FUN!!!
Tracy
I am certain that there won't be any gummies left in May!

Your May trip was actually the only very brief Disney talk we had during dinner! It sounds like such a fun trip you are going to have with a wonderful group of ladies!
And I think we figured it out before that we are going to miss each other this October, but if I end up buying an AP (very likely due to length of trip and for the TIW card) I am certainly planning on an early October trip for 2012, so there will be another chance for a meet!
I feel that we really got some pretty good PP pics this year. I think if you really get the CD you need to take lots of chances in order to get good pics. Some photographers are just better than others.
I'm finally caught up! Oh my goodness there was a lot to read but worth every single minute! There was to much awesome stuff to comment on that it would be impossible. I was so excited that you posted a link for the old Living Seas video. I've only seen Nemo so I didn't know how much I missed out on. I am so sorry that we missed out on seeing that. We have a big aquarium here and we love it. Seems so sad that Disney couldn't afford to keep their's open the way it was. As I said before I've laughed and enjoyed myself so much that I am truely thankful to have found this thread. Thank you so much for inviting perfect strangers to enjoy your trip with you and as a bonus getting to know Germany from your eyes. A Happy New Year to you both and Remy!
I am very impressed that you read the whole TR! I think I need to do that once I am finished with it, I think it will make a great memory!
I love these old attraction videos. Have you checked out the one for the original Journey into Imagination? That ride was so much more fun than what it is like now!
Thank you very much for your nice comments about our TR, I have enjoyed reading so many TR from others that I thought it was time to contribute as well and hope that it is useful for others trying to figure out how to plan a trip to WDW.
Wonderful update! It looks like HS treated you well! And you certainly got some great pics of the two of you.

The umbrellas were the perfect touch too! I love HS, I know some people don't really care for it but I think it's pretty awesome there.
I'm glad Katharina that you were able to finally talk with your DH.

What a frustrating experience though!
I like the idea of heading back to the hotel for a nap/rest as well. I didn't used to be that way, I used to drag my poor family through the parks at breakneck speed and then we'd all be falling asleep in our dinner plates! Now I know better.
What an amazing dismeet! How fun! It sounds like you had a great time together. Wow, so you've met several dis members in Germany? Very cool.
Looking forward to your next update.
We really had a great day at DHS and just as you I love this park. Actually, it was kind of my "first love" at WDW. When I was at WDW for the first time in 2004 we only had one day for each park and then one final day to revisit whereever we liked best. And DHS was the park where I just could not go back to the hotel for an afternoon rest. I just had to stay there from rope drop to closing. This was when I had my first encounter with the streetmosphere people.
For Christmas I got my youngest a "giant gummi bear on a stick" It says it is the equivelent of 77 regular size gummi bears AND a 3 pound bag of gummis. The boy likes his gummi bears!
Wow, that's a lot of gummi bear!!
