I LOVE Disneyland * PTR * July 2010* Come along with me....

[StEpHandMiKe<3Disney]

Hm. Something to keep in mind about WCT is that it just reopened after a remodel, so throwing in the WOC craziness I think it may be reasonable to think that they are just going through a little bump in the road. When or if that may be smoothed out is anyone's guess. But until the re-opening and WOC dining packages started I don't honestly remember ever hearing a lot of negative talk about WCT. But I've also never eaten there, lol. When they called you to change your PS time, what did that end up working out to be? My general understanding is that the earlier your meal, the better.

I'm not much help on dining outside of DLR however!

It's so funny that you posted =) I'm actually reading your PTR right now! I also just went to my mailbox and guess what I had????? The cutest alien green Mickey heads ever!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!! I really do appreciate it. I do understand about WCT and I'm thinking and hoping by July, it'll all be worked out. Now I'm back to your PTR

for LGMH mail! I'm glad you got them. I'm always a little worried something wont make it someone on an error my side (because I suck at writing addresses down sometimes!!). Hope you spot a couple others while you're there! It's fun when you see the little green tags and go "HEY!" a DIS'er!!

Stephanie - if you guys like hot dogs, be sure to try the new Pinks Hot Dogs that just opened up at Universal CityWalk when you get there. (Finally, Pinks is branching out to more places than just its stand on La Brea.) They used to have a Tony Roma's in CityWalk - not sure if it's still there. They've added in more good restaurants since I was last there so I'm forgetting what else to suggest.... I have to jog my memory of what's there.

What's the best thing to get at Pink's? Can you leave US and go to City Walk and get back in on the same day? I'm thinking of eating there for lunch?

So did you cut them to create your's or just peel them off? Also, have you ever scrapbooked before?

They peel off. Try it carefully since you've never done it before, but I usually start with one of the ears and then work from there. When I make mine I paste two together after I peel them off and then use these little self-laminating sheets to make them a little more durable. It depends on how you want yours to look. Some people leave them on, some people peel them off and put them on another background like a thicker cardstock. I thought we had a thread dedicated to LGMH photos but I did a search and couldn't find it!

And scrapbooking? Only in my thoughts, lol. I've wanted to try starting for a long time but as of yet I haven't. I've been stocking up on Disney stuff because I've really want to scrapbook my trips for as long as I can remember. Someday I will!

Well, they have so many different varieties of hot dogs - and burgers too. I am partial to just a basic chili burger or chili dog with very few toppings. The chili is really the star of the show there, so when there is too much other stuff on it, it takes away from the chili for me. But they have all kinds of crazy stuff on those burgers and dogs, and people eat 'em up like they are going out of style. The line for Pink's on La Brea is always crazy long because it's so popular. I haven't been to the CityWalk location yet, but I bet it will be very popular too. There are also other places there like Buca di Beppo, Bubba Gump's, Tommy's Hamburgers, Tony Roma's - all kinds of places to chow down at CityWalk.

Yes, CityWalk and Universal Studios are right next to each other, essentially. You can walk from one to another easily and back again. You'll see signs when you get there.

Joining in . You are cracking my up already with all the outfits. My DH makes fun of me for packing too early, so I should show him all of your plans The outfits all look cute to me.

Your scrapbooking pages are adorable. My husband and I also started dating in '99 and we had a Disneyland engagement and a WDW honeymoon, but all different years from yours.

We are staying at the Hojo for the first time in October so I can't wait to read more!

Count me in for the journey.

Hi! You are going the same days as me! We are going to do the park hoppers. My birthday is the 21st of Jul so we are going to celebrate that! I'm really excited because it's been over a year since the last time I've been to DL.

So seriously look for a brown girl with stitch ears walking around. That will be me! And depending on which day you see us a really bright orange lily in my hair.

Your plans look great! We are going to US. But when we come to see the in laws in August. We are only spending two days there and the going down to see the in laws in SD.

I can't wait for out trips!! You live in SA? I was there 6 months ago for work for three months. I like it there! It's a very nice city!


I love your outfits! Your like me! I have a themed color that I wear every trip we go. So that way I don't have to pack a bunch of different shoes. Because I'm known to be a shoe horder!

You're going to love the HOJO! If you can get an entertainment rate you'll love it even more. I can't get over how good the rates are! Also, I think I have been packing since we came back to WDW in Feb... Is that too early?

I will definitely look for you! I'm so glad I'm not the only one that does the coordinating outfit thing, lol.

 

[StEpHandMiKe<3Disney]

So i Have 17 more days and I'm so excited. I went to Old Navy today to return some shorts I had bought and to my surprise they have new shirts!!!!! Now I'm torn bc I really love these and they totally look Disney to me. I especially love the green one!!! What do ya'll think?

 

[TokyoDina]

Oh man! If I didn't coordinate my outfits it'd take me almost 2 hours to get ready in the morning. I have to have it all picked out before I got...or I'll never make it to the parks!!!

Can't wait! 12 days left!

 

[StEpHandMiKe<3Disney]

Ok so here is the latest dilemma....... I went and bought both the green and blue shirt from Old Navy. I returned the purple short sleeve shirt day for a green Old Navy day. When I go home, I noticed the green shirt was not printed correctly and the point of the diamond was not centered so I went to exchange it thinking mine was "wrong". To my surprise, they are all printed different!!!!! Why, I have no idea bc then it doesn't look centered! I went to the 4 Old Navy stores around me and no one had a small so I decided to order 5 units from their website hoping that one would be correct. So I received the package and guess what, They sent me 5 XXL!!!! Those won't work for me, LOL. I immediately got online and ordered another 5 and am waiting for them patiently.... We have a week to go so if this order doesn't work out I'm not sure what I'm going to do. You know I know have my heart set on wearing the green one. Everyone cross their fingers!! I also ordered an adorable Sanrio tee. My other obsession is Hello Kitty and Old Navy started doing Disney tees and Sanrio tees and I love them!

 

[TokyoDina]

Yay for July 21st!! My birthday is July 21st as well!! Woo hoo! I just had to pop in and say that!

Hey that's cool! Not many people share my B-day! I love being a summer baby and cancer!
