Hi Kathy
I think I've caught up
Love seeing the photos from Ireland
We haven't eaten at Mama Melrose for years but really enjoy it in there so we must get back some day
Hope you have a blast in Vegas!

Have a great trip to Vegas! Win big and share the winnings...okay?

We usually enjoy our meals at Mama Melrose's (with the exception of the one time we had a smarty pants waitress) and the Fantasmic Package is the way to go. So, little Miss Avery didn't want to share did she? Can't say that I blame her since that cupcake looked pretty delish.

I have never seen Fantasmic at WDW only, I need to check it out next trip enjoy Vegas!!

Kathy, I"m glad you enjoyed Mama Melrose and the Fantasmic dining package. I thought by "Disney" standards it was a good value. Everyone in my party enjoyed it a lot except of course me. I thought my Chicken Parmesan was just average... very Olive Garden you may say. I will write it up as just a bad day for them.

Can't say that I don't blame Avery for not sharing that cupcake. It looked pretty amazing and I"m not so sure I wold be willing to share it with anyone either.

I'm with you about the American Idol Experience. I have never been a big fan of the show. However back when it opened in 2009 Carolyn (she can sure sing) wanted to try the AI firsthand and competed. She made it past the judges and onto one of the performances in the afternoon. She did not win, but it was neat for her. Only problem is that it tied up hours of our day and Alyssa didn't vote for her mom because she didn't want it dragging out into the final show that evening. And as they always say on the DIS, if there is no picture then it didn't happen.

My have we all changed here. There is less of me, the same of Carolyn and a much taller and older Alyssa. LOL


Funny that you mentioned you decided to pass on Fantasmic. We almost did the same thing on our Studios day, but this time we decided to stay even though we were tired. Our first time at DHS the line was way to long and we passed. The other time we were going to see it the show was cancelled due to storms. We had never seen Fantasmic and this time we stuck it out.

The pictures of Galway from the kids is gorgeous. I am so wanting to go over there but highly doubt that is going to happen... At least not anytime soon.

Have a wonderful time in Vegas and enjoy the time with Mark.

Kathy, also thank you for the thoughts and prayers you posted on FB concerning my nephew and his auto accident. He is in the fight of his life right now and your thoughts and prayers are very comforting... Thank you my friend.

I hope your time in Vegas is great!

I've never had Mama Melrose. It's just never been a big draw for me. In fact, there really aren't any sit down restaurants in Hollywood Studios that I'm really interested in. I've eaten at Sci-Fi and 50's Prime Time Cafe and have just been satisfied with them. Maybe I need to try Mama Melrose and change it up a bit.

I got a little behind. Caught up now. Beer in Ireland seems totally appropriate! Of course DH would say it is appropriate anywhere. The pics of Ireland are beautiful! I am sure they are having a great time. Traveling to another country is an awesome experience.

ToT and TSM...Love them both. 2 times on ToT...awesomeness!

I have never eaten at MM but, I wonder if you can get those Pina Colada's to go? I love those with the raspberry. Boy, that cupcake looked good...no wonder she would not share.

Looks like Cayley's feeling the effects of that late night the night before. (It was the night before, right?)

Did you get to see the warm-up guy at American Idol? I thought he was the best part of the show!

 

[JulieODC]

Oh my goodness!! That cupcake is adorable!!!

How nice of you to pass off your F tickets

Hi Kathy
I think I've caught up, 5 pages behind again.

Love seeing the photos from Ireland So beautiful!

We did the Fantasmic package at Mama Melrose last year and thought it was pretty good. We are going to Sci Fi this year to try it again since we haven't been there for quite a few years. Hopefully it's ok. Not many choices in HS and I will not be going to 50's again anytime soon. Awful experience last time.

I agree with you for American Idol, I watched the first couple of seasons but then was bored. We watched the experience in Disney and said we could care less if we go again. I guess it would be different if you knew someone on stage. I too love the Voice but more for Adam, but Blake is soooo funny!

I said this already but I hope you have a safe and wonderful trip with Mark! Enjoy your time away, and good luck!!

Have a great trip to Vegas!

Also, drinking and Disney go hand-in-hand, especially if you stay at OKW and have the Suitcase at your disposal!

 

[dekkerdisneydreamer]

Found ya! I've read through all updates so far, and I do agree, those girls are pretty darn cute!

I saw the pics from the Ireland trip on FB, they are simply gorgeous!

That dessert that Avery had looked so so good. Like, I'm salivating right now.

 

[GoofyFan1515]

Enjoying all the updates from across the pond......here AND on FB! Hope you have a great trip to Vegas!!!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Hi Kathy! I'm all caught up! Hope you and Mark have a great time on your trip.

 

[BebopAngel88]

Yahh, I found the TR and now I am all caught up. It looks like a really fun trip so far!

 

[annmarieda]

The girls and I did the American Idol show when it was a soft opening. Actually, I am not even sure it was soft... it was more of a "hey you, would you like to come in and see" sort of deal before it was open to the public. I haven't been back since. Obviously I wasn't terribly impressed.

Sometimes you just have to give up on a planned activity. That is one reason I really miss the hard fast passes... you can give them away.

have fun in Vegas!!!

Star Tours makes me sick too, and in two days I rode that puppy like 10 times with my boys, I learned if I close my eyes it isn't too bad.

Love all the fun photos of the girls with the chip n dale hat, cupcakes, etc.

Your meal looks yummy, my kids have yet to see Fantasmic, I've seen it, my little one is scared to see it.

Loving the Ireland pictures, so beautiful. Hope you are having fun in Vegas.

 

[jenseib]

I want a cupcake now!

I have not seen Fantasmic yet either!

 

[katt789]

Got all caught up again!!

Looks like a great afternoon! love the girl's smiley shirts! cute!

I have to agree phillharmagic is superior to muppets! although it is a fun time, that's for sure!

I must try mama melrose's we usually skip meals in dhs and go over to the bw area, haha! That cupcake looks delicious, that's for sure! And if she wasn't sharing I'm sure it was great!

How amazing that you gave your fantasmic passes away, nice to know that people can still give some magic away with fp+

Have fun on your trip and I hope it's amazing and full of fun!
