Grumpy turns sixty, where else could we be ?? *Updated 10/04*

Yay finally an update! Hey whats with the picture of the Yacht Club "village" display. Is that a drunk elf that tipped over the sled?

 

[OhMari]

The decorations were the same as last year's and they were lovely.

Do you think they put the chocolate decorations in cold storage?
I know at the Boardwalk, they made the Donald and Daisy Cakes at the Boardwalk Bakery.
I saw Daisey getting made and I yelled to the Baker:
"So where is Minnie goin?"
The Baker replied,
"Daisy is going upstairs in the Boardwalk lobby."

Love the update Marina. Yes, you MUST get a slushie at the France kiosk on your next trip. We're currently putting the finishing touches on a Christmas trip again this year and your pictures just got me even more excited for it than I already was.

What do the slushies that I keep hearing about consist of?

OOH! That recipe for the lemon slushie! Thanks! I can't drink margaritas (tequila allergy--funny, the allergist doesn't have shots for that) But these sound pretty good! I will definitely have to try one when my DH and I go in two weeks!

OOH! (tequila allergy--funny, the allergist doesn't have shots for that)

I wouldn't worry. Tequila shots always get me in trouble, anyway!

 

[whogirl'smom]

Great update--I can't wait to see those Christmas decorations!

 

[Kirby]

Do they let you have a tiny taste, like what they do in some candy or ice cream stores?

 

[eyor44]

Thanks for the update. I love all the pics.

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Another great update! Cape May sounds awesome! Looking forward to hearing more!

 

[MickeyLover20]

No, they are made new every year

How did you find out you have a tequila allergy? I ask because I think I might have one too. I can not drink the stuff. Used to be able to but now as little as half a margarita can make me dizzy and once I even passed out?!! Long after I go to bed (perfectly sober) for the night I wake up in a cold sweat. It's awful, and it only happens with tequila. I drink Rum now!

Same thing. Although it has always made me sick. I get stabbing stomach pains, yucky stomach "issues", cold sweats, and all. Even if I only have one small drink with tequila. And it's only tequila, no other alcoholic beverages. I thought I had food poisoning one time. Called doctor (who is a family friend) because of the stomach "issues" that woke me up and kept me awake in the restroom all night and he said it could be food poisoning or a severe food allergy. The only thing we can figure that was different was the booze.

"I drink Rum now!"

Yo ho Yo ho A pirate's life for me!

So great to see an update! Yeah! and thanks!

Thanks! So I'll be looking for those slushies in France. They sound awesome!

Ok so the $20,000 question is>>>>>>>>>>> HOW DO WE GET IN ON GETTING THAT CHOCOLATE WHEN THEY ARE DONE WITH IT?
