[Happydog]

AMAZING PICS!!! LOVED your shots of the MK and the castle Can't wait to hear about The Adventurer's dinner? That sounds so cool!

I am thinking Plaza for early lunch in June..... EARLY lunch! so it isn't sooo hot!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Oh my, that burger looks DELISH. Yum!!

Wow, that is quite the look you are describing with the gentleman and his tshirt.

I love reading about DIS meets! I'm so glad you two were able to catch up with each other.

 

[jenjolt]

Another great update!! You are right that burger looks amazing!!! I am definitely looking forward to eating at The Plaza in January!!! HMMM...shopping photos I love shopping photos, those bags were way too cute!!! I did end up getting a bag but not one of those LOL!!! Okay not sure what to think about the guys cooling off by the payphones...that is just awkward LOL!

DISMeet...awww I'm glad you had a good time meeting up with MEK and Denny!!! I wish I would have been there a few days sooner, but I'm hoping next fall we'll have a reunion trip LOL!!!

OOOH can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Adventurer's Dinner!

 

[Rozz]

I want to tag along! Your introduction with teasers of what's to come have me hooked! Let's get some champaign and get movin'!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Yay, you did get to meet Mary Ellen and Denny! I totally understand the bit about the nervousness before a DIS meet but they always turn out so well. I think we learn so much about each other here on the DIS, and well we really are just a bunch of friends that love Disney so what can be weird about that? We "get" each other!


OK, off my soapbox.....
1. The vampire Mickey t-shirt is way cute, I wish I had one!
2. The Halloween statues, how in the heck did I miss those last year?
3. Vinlymation holiday Mickeys, oh my gosh! I hope they have some left in Dec.
4. That Cheeseburger at the Plaza looks tasty in deed, and the fries mmmmmm!

I think I might just have to download the Celebrate You song! I think it would be perfect to play in class at special moments! Also a great way to get my Disney fix in during a long day.

Great start Christine! Can't wait for more!

I loved the Plaza too. We had a window directly facing the Castle. Sigh! Nothing better than gazing at the Castle all thru lunch!

Can't wait to hear about the Adventurer's Club!!!

 

[wdwgirl03]

OK, I have "Celebrate You" on my ipod too. And you know what I put on the other day? That Hannah Montana song that they play at the beginning of the Move it Shake it Celebrate it parade. (can't believe I just admitted that!) So don't feel too embarrassed...

I almost bought one of those reusable totes when we were there. And Vinylmation...I think those can be as addicting as pins...

 

[kschafer]

A special DIS’er had put in a request for this cute tote bag

And she loves it!

What says WDW more than this??

I can't think of anything! It's the perfect sight in my opinion!

Nice picture! I'm so excited you got to meet!!

Up next:
Do I finally get some champagne?

Oh I hope so!!!!!!!

The parade looks fun. Your burger sounds yummy but it would need more cheese for my taste

 

[Flossbolna]

This parade looks like a lot of fun. My DS and I aren't parade people at all, but it might be fun to get a glimpe of this one. If it is still around in January...

Thanks for the shopping pictures! It's so fun to go window shopping here on the DIS!!

OMG - What a great update!!!!!!! I was wondering if we were going to meet in this episode! Yeah! I have to tell you that I was so super psyched when I got your text message that you where on the monorail headed over. I had tried to text you twice during the week and when I didn't hear back I was a little worried, but then that message on my phone came through....christine DIS......that's exactly how I put it in my phone. So I know I texted the right # earlier in the week. I don't know what happened to those messages. Weird!

Anyway ..... Denny said, "Are you going to recognize her when you see her?" And I said, "I think so. I'm not positive". But I have to tell everyone that as soon as Christine walked in, I knew immediately who she was. And she had the greatest smile that went from ear to ear. And I have to tell you that as cute as C looks in her pictures, she is even prettier in real life. And she is just someone that you immediately like! I was just super bummed that I didn't have more time in the world and that we couldn't have hung out longer and used those FP's for Splash Mtn. But we did get to meet and that's what counts!

Oh well .....that will all change next year!

Now getting back to your TR - what is it with the bizarro people. Who pulls their T-shirt up under their next to show their giant budha belly. Paaaleeeze! That's just nasty!


P.S. Denny and I make it to the airport with time to spare! Our flight was even delayed a half hour or so!

 

[MaryAz]

Great update-yay for meeting another Dis'er. That burger looked pretty yum. Ur pics are coming out nice!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Shopping pics, a burger pic, Mr. Incredible with his beads (yes, I never get tired of seeing him wearing those ), and a meet with Mary Ellen -- some of my favorite things!!!

Anyway ..... Denny said, "Are you going to recognize her when you see her?" And I said, "I think so. I'm not positive". But I have to tell everyone that as soon as Christine walked in, I knew immediately who she was. And she had the greatest smile that went from ear to ear. And I have to tell you that as cute as C looks in her pictures, she is even prettier in real life. And she is just someone that you immediately like!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!! When Christine turned the corner at the American Adventure where we were meeting her, I knew immediately it was her by that great smile!

 

[MeMom]

We love the Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It! parade. Brooklynn knows all the words, and she can shake it with the best of 'em!

Love the shopping pictures! I finally found the purse I want when we were at POFQ, but it was a little too much for my very small budget this time. It was $68. To most, that's probably not much, but to me, that's way too much right now. I've been looking and looking for a pretty much solid black purse with just a hint of Disney, and I found two there that I have seen nowhere else on property. One had a little more 'bling' to it than the other, so the more plain one is the one I hope to get. Maybe by Christmas I'll have the money set aside to get it. I am just happy to know there is a purse out there that is just what I want!

I have a picture of the vampire Mickey shirt, too. It was fun to take pictures of the seasonal items this time. When we go back, there will be plenty of red, white, and green to be photgraphed!

Thanks for the delicious hamburger picture.

Thanks for NOT showing the pot belly man picture!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Great update!! I love all the shopping pictures, the parade pictures and the picture of the burger!!


Of course, I also love the picture of you and MEK! How cool is that to get to meet up! I would have been nervous too!

 

[Native NYer]

The cheeseburger looks yummy!

Love the shopping pics.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Since I am dreading work this morning and wondering HOW it can only be Tuesday I thought this might help brighten things up.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!!! I'll be back with replies and the next chapter later in the week!

 

[All7OfUs]

And, oh, how we thank you!! Have a great day, even if it is only Tuesday

 

[All7OfUs]

Just read the latest post now, and have to say, your lunch looks super yummy! I"m not much of a burger person, but will admit this one looks about as perfect of a burger as one can make. For me, the meat must hang over that bun, which also conjures up horrible visions of that etiquette monstrosity you had to endure at lunch. That's just disgusting! Don't people think anymore?

How totally fun you got to meet a DISer friend!!! Glad you could both swing it, even if for a very short time.
