Oh totally totally OT here but I happened to notice you were from Gilroy.... we have a stop in Gilroy on our list of things to do next trip.... we love Gilroy garlic! Lol.... our local grocer gets it in for us to save us the long drive! one year we want to hit the festival in summer and try some garlic icecream!

The Garlic Festival is a great way to get a lot of different tastes of garlic! Garlic bread, scampi, calimari, pepper steak sandwiches...oh don't get me started! There is a winery here that even has garlic wine! I have not tried it but understand it isn't half bad. Now the ice cream....you can't pay me to taste that! I like to people watch where they hand out the free tastes @ the festival. BTW, the festival is always the last full weekend of July. Talk about HOT! I volunteered for a few years but it gets so hot that I stopped. I melt in the sun. Keep me updated if you want!
The Gilroy Garlic Festival July 29, 30 & 31st Best day to go in Friday when all the locals go.
OK, back to catching up.....

This year was my first year at the garlic festival and it was so much fun. I had the garlic ice cream and it wasn't too bad

For those of you who are going for the first few parties (ours isn't until the 15th), can you post about the fast pass situation? I really hate waiting in line for Space Mtn & I would love to be able to know if I can get a fast pass or how long the lines were when you went. Please? I didn't go on it last year and since my MIL is going with us, DH & I will have a chance to ride it this trip.
OK, I caught up for now but I'm sure you will have 5 more pages when I get back to the computer this evening.
Later,
Sue

When I went to the festival about, hmm...10 or 12 years ago, I was eager to try the garlic ice cream, but it ended up being basically vanilla soft serve with some garlic powder mixed in it. I guess I was just expecting it to be more like if Dreyer's made a garlic flavor. Maybe the festival has changed it since then, I don't know.

We've had kind of a crappy summer, weather wise. So I am going to welcome the warm weather with open arms! I am soooo sick of rain, fog, and grey skies!

YESSSS!!!

One member so far for team “hot weather” !!

 

[uneekstylez]

I'm VERY excited about the warm weather. It's getting colder where I'm at. And we didn't really have a proper summer. We only had like...probably a month of summer total. Our weather has been crazy! I can't wait to wear shorts/skirts and tank tops again!

 

[zeitzeuge]

Has this from the Disneyl Parks Blog been posted here yet?

This is the first I have seen it. WOW 50 treat stations! That is amazing! I am going to get tired by the end of my night. I have also got to take note of the locations listed.

 

[inluvwithbuzz]

Do you think Disneyland will eventually put out a map with all the photo and treat stations on it like Disneyworld did?

If they do it would be nice if we got this a head of time so we can map out our route.

 

[PrincessMaleficent]

it would be nice to have a map to plan the route we will take. I guess it is more waiting.

Me either! Tired of cold weather one day then hot the next. Keeps everybody sick. I want consistent 75ish weather. It rained last October while we were their, hoping for nice warm weather this visit.

In the past, a map was available, but not before the party. If a map is not available before the parties begun, we will have to hope someone here will post it.

WDW has a special additional map for its Halloween and Christmas Parties. It shows where treats and photo area are located, DJ, parade and stage entertainment locations, and lists the attractions and food establishments which are open. Does DL traditionally have a special party map? If your interested, allears.net has a copy of the WDW Halloween one on their front page.

 

[funatdisney]

They do, but I have only seen it when attending the parties, never beforehand. I would guess (and I am guessing here) that there will not be a map officially released before the parties begin. Then, again, like my kids and my pets, they may make a liar out me.

The thing is I like warm weather, just don't like hot weather. Especially with very high humidity where as soon as you walk out of a air conditioned hotel or restaurant that your glasses instantly fog up, and you are soaked within a couple of mins. I bought my Premium AP online today so I'm an official AP'er (at least I will be when I trade in my e-ticket for the real thing next weekend). Have a great day everyone!
