It's all about the shopping... with Wigd and Shocker

I pictures of the food at LTT looked so yummy. We have reservations there in March I can't wait. Do they still announce you by state when you are called?

We've only been once, and that was just before they stopped having characters there. We enjoyed it, but we're not foodies. We like plain food and lots of it, and they had that. The cobbler and ice cream at the end was good, but we were so full that we could only have a bite. We will go again when we knock some others that we haven't done off the list first.

They were not calling the names and states when we were there. I read that someone else said they did not call them out when they were there, either, so maybe they have have abandoned that, too.


Wigd, the food looks good, and that's cool that you started off with a DIS meet right away.
 
Do they still announce you by state when you are called?

We ate there in November and I don't recall them calling out our State.

That yummy food is making my mouth water!
 
When I got my D&B hipster type bag, they had a special online that I could buy the balloon pattern cosmetic bag for $15.

DH got me the brown tonal Mickey D&B for Christmas and he got this cosmetic bag too, it's very cute! I haven't used mine yet either, probably won't until our trip :thumbsup2


Anita, I'm sorry that the CM at LTT was rude to you, and for obviously no reason since there was a table ready. We had AWFUL service the last time we ate there, I'm in no hurry to go back :sad2:

How did you like having a car? I'm tiring of the buses and think a rental car might be the way to go next time.....
 
Very nice start!!! I love my mickey santa ear hats! Marc looks great! :thumbsup2 I would love to go to LTT for lunch (we have discussed this on Jackie's thread I think!) But it is a perfect winter meal! And How fun to have a DIS meet your first night there!! Cute Santa Mickey sweatshirt!!! Some how I didn't catch that this trip was just you and Shocker for Christmas. I think that is great. How much fun you must have had, a little less stress than last year I am betting...

Can't wait for more! I went back and forth and back and forth on the whole D & B purse selections... I ALMOST got one of the brown tonal bags, but just wasn't sure about it... I MAY get a little something on this cruise, though, since we have a few more of those lined up!!! :laughing: Actually the balloon pattern is my favorite. :rolleyes:

Can't wait to continue along with you!!!! :goodvibes
 

So we had breakfast and pixie dusted a couple of troops that were traveling and eating near us. Such a small way to thank them for what they were doing for us all!

Wigd, I meant to tell you! I remembered reading this on FB and the next day there was a news report showing returning troops at the Des Moines airport. One of them commented that they knew they were home when they heard Christmas songs in the Atlanta airport. I wondered what the chances were that these were the soldiers you saw!

sorry the CM at LTT wasn't full of pixie dust but sounds like an otherwise great start!
 
You guys are so nice to buy the troops breakfast.

What's up with the rude CM???? I have never had a rude CM when checking in late to a restaurant. That's just wrong!

errrrrrr, wait a minute.......Doesn't Mr I Wont Rent a Car live with you???????? :lmao:
 
Sorry about the rudeness, but the dinner looks yummy as usual!!! What a fun DISmeet! :) Can't wait to hear more!
We enjoyed our meal. It was just the stick to your ribs sort of meal we needed that night!
It was fun seeing Elena and family that night. It wasn't a chance meeting....
Rude CMs, or rude people for that matter, just stink. I'm glad it didn't ruin your meal and you were seated quickly.

A DIS meet and dinner sound perfect :cloud9:
The quick seating and the fact that we were on our first night of the trip made her rude behavior something we pretty much ignored.
The meal and meet were super!
I can't believe the CM was rude to you! That's too bad. I have to confess that I'm not a huge fan of LTT. I'm really looking forward to the new sit down restaurant in Fantasyland as another option in the MK!
I know that diner at LTT isn't a favorite of many folks. Have you been there for lunch? We really like their lunch! As it was though, with the party and our arrival time, it was the best choice for us.
I think MK needs more choices for TS too!
Brought back memories of our nov trip and dinning at LTT
Your pics are great but the food doesn't taste as good as
they look in your pics, my opinion of course!!
I'm a big fan of the ham, I wish I would have had more of it!
That night was so damp and getting colder by the minute. We needed something filling after flying all day.
Funny how the CM was rude and for no reason - you were seated right away anyhow! What a waste of energy to be rude like that. What was she trying to prove?

Thanks for the tip on the bag shopping! I will make sure to check before buying! I am really hoping to find some things that say Dream on them.
Typically I would just chalk it up to her having a bad day, but.....
Yes, if you think you want a cruise bag, get there early and check out the different placement of prints!

I don't think they even asked us where we were from...
Are you eating there for lunch or dinner?
That was so kind of you to buy the troops breakfast :hug: A wonderful gesture :goodvibes
Boo to the rude CM but happy you were seated promptly :thumbsup2
I have never eaten there :rolleyes1
Looking forward to your car rental adventures!! :)

Tracy
Oh my gosh, I so loved the rental car!!!
Those two guys in their fatigues, looked so young, I imagine they were headed home for the holidays. It was the least we could do.
That CM was a cranky lady...
We've only been once, and that was just before they stopped having characters there. We enjoyed it, but we're not foodies. We like plain food and lots of it, and they had that.

Wigd, the food looks good, and that's cool that you started off with a DIS meet right away.
Nope no names of states, and really why would they stop?
I think that is a very cool thing to do!
It was fun meeting up with Elena first thing. It wasn't our last meet up either!
We ate there in November and I don't recall them calling out our State.

That yummy food is making my mouth water!
I agree, no state, yummy food!
DH got me the brown tonal Mickey D&B for Christmas and he got this cosmetic bag too, it's very cute! I haven't used mine yet either, probably won't until our trip :thumbsup2

I'll bet that CM didn't even know what the table situation was. I'm thinking a personality disorder of the cranky kind.
We had good service. Sorry you had bad there.
So you are a saver too? I love hanging on to things to keep them special!
Very nice start!!! I love my mickey santa ear hats! Marc looks great! :thumbsup2 I would love to go to LTT for lunch (we have discussed this on Jackie's thread I think!)

It was Baylor's year to be with his dad, and then when he had the choice he decided that we were staying too long.
If you decide to get a D&B cruise bag do it early! Did you see my earlier posts, they get picked over!
This trip was stress free!
Wigd, I meant to tell you! I remembered reading this on FB and the next day there was a news report showing returning troops at the Des Moines airport. One of them commented that they knew they were home when they heard Christmas songs in the Atlanta airport. I wondered what the chances were that these were the soldiers you saw!

sorry the CM at LTT wasn't full of pixie dust but sounds like an otherwise great start!
When I hear of the nice people trying to get jobs at Disney and can't get hired then come across a CM like that I just have to wonder....
I know those troops had to be so very happy to be back on the US soil hearing Christmas songs!
You guys are so nice to buy the troops breakfast.

What's up with the rude CM???? I have never had a rude CM when checking in late to a restaurant. That's just wrong!

errrrrrr, wait a minute.......Doesn't Mr I Wont Rent a Car live with you???????? :lmao:
MrIwontrentacar does live with me, and it about killed him to rent a car!
We tried to get to LTT on time, we really did! I told her we were sorry that we just got in from the airport....
Subscribing.
:welcome: please feel free to speak right up! We are a chatty bunch!
 
Hi! Yep, I saw your post!!! :thumbsup2 Not sure if I will, may settle for something else, not sure! But I will be checking out the shops on the Dream for SURE!!! :magnify: Yes, I saw your post about Baylor too, but it hadn't clicked with me until then and seeing the lone Marc by the MVMCP sign!!! :laughing:
 
I don't think they even asked us where we were from...
Are you eating there for lunch or dinner?

We are eating dinner at LTT.

We usually have lunch there, because about half way through each visit I want as you said stick to the ribs kind of food. The desserts are great at lunch also. We are trying dinner this time just to be different.
 
Yeay for arriving at your home away from home, but boo to the rude CM -- that's not allowed at Disney. :(

I told Connor about how you said he would not be disappointed about ToT this trip. He was very pleased. :laughing:

HD, the Mickey balloon D&B is my favorite one, too.
 
What a kind and generous thing you and Marc did for the troops, of course knowing the two of you that doesn't surprise me in the least!!! You two are the best!!!

Rude CM...that irks me!! You rush to get there, from traveling all day, and that is the first experience you get....I'll just shake my head!! Glad you were seated quickly and had a great meal (the food looks so good)!!! YAY for a great DIS meet!!!

OOOH...a rental car (Of course I live in the camp of Will Never NOT rent a car) so I'm excited to hear how you liked having it!!!!!!

Can't wait for MVMCP!!!!
 
I heard "shopping" and I came running.....okay maybe a slow walk....:tiptoe:....sorry to be so late coming over.

Love your Christmas sweatshirt. Did you already have it or did you buy it on your way in?

I've never been to LTT. I wish I had eaten there before they took the Characters away.
They looked so cute in thier outfits.

I definitely have the cruise D&B on my wish list!
I just may have to splurge.
Thanks for the heads up about getting one early to choose one with good placement. :thumbsup2

OMG! I have to get that luggage!
I hope I can find one. I have 2 within driving distance...I will call when they open at 11am.

I'll let you know if I luck out...:goodvibes

I hope you enjoy the evening meal. We like it, but it's quite controversial!

HD, the Mickey balloon D&B is my favorite one, too.
I'm not sure where I voiced my opinion about the D&B balloon print, but it's my favorite of the new prints as well!
I think I took some pictures this trip and posted them on FB...
We'll see as I look through my photobucket!

I'm not sure how Baylor will react to all this hullabaloo to riding TOT as he will not ride it either.....
Hmmmmmm.:idea: Just maybe this will be the push he needs too!

Can't wait for MVMCP!!!!

It wasn't that big of a gesture to pick up the tab for their breakfast, although they did seem to be quite hungry! :laughing:

We didn't let the CM get us down, it was our first night in Disney and we were on that high when your trip is laid out before you.
You all know the feeling, right?

The rental car WAS FAB!!!!!

MVMCP coming right UP!!!
 
I heard "shopping" and I came running.....okay maybe a slow walk....:tiptoe:....sorry to be so late coming over.

Just getting started so you are NOT late! :welcome:
The sweatshirt came from Disneyshopping.com I ordered it online. I think it might have been on sale and for that reason every other person seemed to be wearing it that night! :laughing:

We've been to LTT quite a few times, with and without characters. It was our first meal ever at Disney, so it holds very special memories for us. Both lunch and dinner are quite different so I don't mind eating there twice during the same trip!

If you decide on getting the bag, don't be embarrassed to ask the CM to bring them all out so you can chose the one you like. You are spending a bunch so get the one you really like!!!

I ventured out to our west TJ Maxx yesterday and they have the most luggage but they had no Disney at all!
Please report back and let us know if you have any luck!
 
So we headed out into the cold, damp evening, and yes we were bundled up! I was more prepared for the weather than my dear husband. He did have the hat though. It was a gift from one of my students but I agreed that he would wear it!
I texted first thing with Mary (maryaz) to check on their where abouts as I knew she and the girls were attending the party tonight. She got right back to me that they were about to get on Pooh so we made our way back to Fantasyland. I'll just mention that the wind was picking up or seemed to be back in that area of the park and it was down right cold!
I however was excited get a look at the new que for the Pooh ride!

We met up with Mary, Avery, and Cayley, who were dressed as all beautiful princesses should be in their gowns. I on the other hand with my iphone and no light or flash, couldn't get a picture from where we were so I didn't and this proved to be a HUGE error on my part. Should have had Marc take one there and then.....
We visited for a minute and headed over to see the 7 dwarfs who were all out for the party.
The girls decided that they wanted to ride Small World so we THOUGHT we would meet up after.....:headache:
Hence no picture this night.... (post note) just read on Mary's report, due to the fact that it was so cold they went back to their resort. I don't blame them a bit!
You will all have to head to Mary's TR for her pictures (which I will need to do too!) totally tardy...
Marc and I had a short wait for the Diamond Mine.

When it was our turn I headed up and started hugging the guys and got in place for a photo and then noticed that Marc was not with me!
OK, what was going on???


DSCN2854.jpg


Then Dopey turned around and held out his hands and he had a special order that I had placed at the Halloween party.....

DSCN2855.jpg


It was my Christmas gift from Marc.
A new wedding set.
The photo pass pictures have many more and when we get the CD I'll post those as well.


Marc hopped in and we had a few more pictures made and then moved on...

DSCN2850.jpg


Our next stop was for some hot chocolate, this was our clue that it was here!


DSCN2859.jpg


We took some pictures behind the castle, rode HM, then headed over for fireworks...

DSCN2858.jpg

As we watched the fireworks I texted pictures to Megan in attempts to get Harper excited for our March trip.

I think it must have been the dampness, the cold, the lack of sleep, but after the fireworks we were ready to go.
The parade I knew we would have the chance to see throughout the week.
So with that we made our way down Main Street taking in the beauty we had missed on our way in....

Did we get to meet up with Elena?
No....
They were escorted out with the other non-wristband wearers.
:sad2:
 
What a super hubby you have, surprising you like that.:goodvibes:goodvibes
 
What a great surprise! I followed along on FB but either I missed Marc/Dopey's surprise or I forgot about it. Can't believe I'd do that latter as that is a super spectacular very thoughtful surprise!

I am so looking forward to the new Fantasyland area. The Pooh queue sounds very cool!
 
I love that story about you and Marc. :goodvibes That is so, so sweet :hug:
Boo to the cold but happy you were able to wear your Uggs! :thumbsup2
I have always wanted that Vera pattern and kick myself for never getting it. :rolleyes: Always on eBay :thumbsup2
I love the picture of you with the carousel and top of the castle in the background! :goodvibes

Tracy
 
Ok had to get caught up.

We have never eaten at LTT. I do want to try it sometime. Not cool about the rude CM though.

Aw what a neat thing for Marc to do with your Christmas present. What was it??

It looks so cold there. I have only been in April or May so I cannot imagine walking around with sweatshirts, hats & mittens on.
