Shelly-

Here's the hot tub at CBR. Is it supposed to be shaped like something?
Kinda looks wierd to me.....

An anchor maybe?

I've been totally lurking and THIS is what I choose to chime in on? Really, girl, get your act together!

I was thinking it looks like a ray. A giant ray...don't gt to close, these things are deadly!

 

[BellaSoleil]

Well, I'm not going to say what I think it looks like.......


Sorry girls! I'm usually not vulgar! All this partying has gotten my mind in the gutter.

Wow! I can't believe how many pages get added around here in a day! I am sorry I need to be at work!

Who knows where exactly in Lancaster PA the Disney Outlet is located? I am going to Lancaster with my sister in a couple of weeks, and I would love to check it out.

Enjoying reading all of the fun banter between you all!

I can help you, and I can let you in on the best kept dining secret in Lancaster.

Where will you be coming from? That will help me give you directions. Have you been to Lancaster before? I go a lot, so I'll be happy to help you with planning, touring plans, TS and CS places, and the best places for home made food and baked goods.

The Rockvale Outlets are on Route 30, near the intersection of 30 and 896 - not sure if that's considered Ronks or Paradise. It's across the street from the American Music Theater (which has a really cute christmas show). Here's their website: http://www.rockvalesquareoutlets.com/stores.asp. It lists the Disney Outlet as "now open."

Now, for my dining secret. The restaurant is called Dienner's and it's also on Route 30, a little east of the outlets, in Ronks, PA. It's a family run Mennonite restaurant, and Mrs. Dienner actually works the front door. All of the food is homemade and they have the greatest roast chicken and beef in gravy, and the tastiest corn and mashed potatoes EVER. Delicious homemade desserts from my favorite bakery, the Bird-In-Hand Bake Shop. Here's their website: http://dienners.com/ Absolutely the best bargain in Lancaster. They are next door to the big windmill. They do absolutely NO advertising, and they're not in any guidebooks. For $5 you can't beat the breakfast. I just saw that they have Trip Advisor reviews on their website now.

Anyway, let me know if I can help any more.

Ha! Ha!! Thanks a lot! Now I see it too!!!

Hey girls~Another busy day here with school and a haircut and all the little mommy things that continue day in & day out!! Just had a minute to read and catch up---wanted to say hey!!!! Ya'll have had a pretty full day here!!! Well, gotta get supper going and get my gang ready for church!!

Oh, just wanted to ask if anyone read this "report" lately on drinking 64 oz of water? I read that it really isn't necessary & all it does is make you p** more!!! That you only need to drink if you are thirsty. WOW!! I drank the whole thing a couple of days ago(trying to get back with the water & walking every evening now that it's not deathly hot here) and I bet I got up 4 times in the night to p**!! How aggrevating. Any body else hear of this? Just curious. Also, do any of you ever get a headache from drinking so much water?

All I really drink is water. I have a cup of sweet tea in the morning, but that's about it. DD only drinks water, too. (With her daily allotment of milk, of course.) I read something yesterday about babies drinking too much water and now I'm concerned. I didn't want her drinking juice because I didn't want all that sugar in her system and on her teeth. Now I'm confused too.....

Talk to you all in the morning! Thanks for a FUN FUN FUN day!!!!

Peaches, my love- I hope you don't have too much of a hang over tommorow. You know I love you! Hehe!!!!

Thanks! I know where Rockvale is; I didn't know they have a Disney outlet.

And we LOVE Dienner's!! We are staying on Rt. 30 and definitely will be eating there at least once when we are in the area. I love their breakfast buffet, too. MMMM...makes me hungry for their food already!

I'm so glad it wasn't just me who thought that...

 

[BellaSoleil]

I don't know about those Imagineers sometimes! It's just like the cover on the Little Mermaid. Do you guys remember that?

 

[Monny2AE]

Glad to see the partying has calmed down a little! What a wild day!!! I had to jump on before bed just to check on everyone and to make sure Peach3es really did go to bed!
I guess we'll all look like this tomorrow

Thanks for sharing. We are thinking of going to the Lancaster outlets this weekend for my mom's bday. If we do I'll let you all know how the Disney one is! Perhaps we'll leave early and have breakfast at Dienner's before shopping! Thanks for the insider info

Don't remember this- please do share!

 

[sarbah77]

Okay, everyone, this will be my monumental 500th post, the one that finally makes me a DIS Veteran. I just wanted to share it with (as Peach3es would say)...all my Snowbird Peeps! Here's my party, you're all invited! No gifts, please.

500

Well I am fashionably late to the party (er, something, since peaches has already gone to bed)... but I'm just happy that I'm a mouseketeer and no longer "earning my ears." Man, took me almost 2 years to lose THAT status. I'm a little slow.

Well, I'm not going to say what I think it looks like.......

Yeah, now I can't unsee it either! Ha!!

Whoops! I did 500 since June??? I guess I'm a little chatty!

Anywho...here's your party! Happy Mouseketeer Status!!!



I'm even sending a clown because you worked so very long for this!

Awww thanks! I'm almost always a lurker on every message board, whereas most people are chattier than me!

*adds to the late party*

[Mickey's Other GF]

I cannot wait until Jan 6. My Disney clock says I should be there right now, as I always go in September. I'm throwing myself off waiting until January! But I just started college and I need to wait for winter break to go.

 

[peach3es]

Dude. My tush is draggin' this morning!

And to Carrie and Shelly - honestly, how am I supposed to act like I'm working when y'all keep making me laugh out loud all the time!??!!?

Just doing my part to serve humanity by making people LOL!

Bwaah ha ha All part of our plan First the Snowbirds, then the DIS, then the WORLD (Disney that is)!

Oh, yes. And we will begin by forcing everyone to refer to our state as PA. NOT Pennsylvania. PA. Does anyone else do that? We don't walk around saying, "I'm from CA" or "I'm from MA" do we? Someone in college asked me this. PA isn't the longest state name in the US. Why is the abbreviation standard for us to use? Because we are taking over the world. We are controlling the minds of millions, forcing them to conform to PA standards. Watch out...you could be next! bwahahahahaa!

Peaches, my love- I hope you don't have too much of a hang over tommorow. You know I love you! Hehe!!!!

Awww, thanks! Hey, I'm ready to party again!

Glad to see the partying has calmed down a little! What a wild day!!! I had to jump on before bed just to check on everyone and to make sure Peach3es really did go to bed!
I guess we'll all look like this tomorrow

I finally succumbed to the fatigue. But I'm up and ready to go! Where are all you lazybones????

 

[AussieAngel]

Poo, I missed the party!!!

I'll have to have my own little party all the way over here in Australia!!



Okay, now I'd better go and .

Just be on the look-out for Disco Dale! This guy's been seen around these parts and he's creepin' everyone out!

Peaches - We really had a crazy old man around these parts named Disco Dale. He was a regular at all the clubs and they would let him do spots on the radio. In Disco Dale style - he did creep everyone out.

P.S. He wore a trademark beret. Wierd huh?

 

[AussieAngel]

Hey Bella!

I bid on a Vera Bradley hipster on ebay today, but I lost the auction! Oh noooo! There's another one which ends in 2 days though, so hopefully I might win that one!

I think I've decided on the pink elephants bag. It's cute, but mostly black which goes with anything, right!?

Weird! Every town's got 'em. We had special names for many people growing up. We called them the 10 Most Famous People in Shamokin!

Where are all the party people in the place????
