I still can't believe I ate the WHOLE thing!! 
I was saying the very same thing! Nothing soothes an upset tummy like a quesadilla with refried beans!
How sweet that they brought out 2 cupcakes for the birthday and Un-birthday girl! I'd love to try 1900 Park Fare. I just adore Mary Poppins!
Oh Kim - you make me laugh EVERY TIME!!!!! Well, I will let you in on a little secret.........the cure didn't work!! 
You will just have to come back and find out what happened later in the day!! 
The photos are amazing (as usual!). 
I've been hanging around the Disneyland threads 
but I'm still Dis'n I am getting pretty excited about my trip...I am mostly excited about visiting during halloween time! I have to say that planning a Disneyland trip is so frustrating 
They still have not posted the hours or schedules for the weeks I'm going?!?! It's crazy! I am also disapointed that they don't have a dining plan like WDW but I'm sure once we get there we will have a blast!
I seriously JUST posted this chapter like 3 minutes ago!!! Glad you stopped in! I too love taking pictures - I just never seem able to take the time to find a great shot at WDW - I am just too distracted by everything going on around me!!! 
I just realized that you only have 3 weeks left until your trip!!! 
Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!!! 
Hello Again!!! I see you are heading back for another trip!! Will you do another TR?? I loved your first one - it was GREAT!!! Where are you staying this year??
We got a great deal with direct air from our city, but we had to book an offsite hotel package to get the great rate. We arrive in Sanford and we will be renting a car this time. Since we have the car DH and DD6 will be checking out Harry Potter at Universal while DD3 and I have a special day together at MK. We will also be going to the ocean for a day. It will be different not taking ME, but if it means I can go back to my happy place it is worth it!
WOW Meghan - you are QUICK!!!
WOO HOO
So what happened later in the day!!!! Um, maybe I don't want to know.I think I WAS nuts!!
We will definitely be doing the nap thing next august - the heat will be kicking our butts! Staying at the Poly though will make it SO EASY to head back for a siesta!!
I could not believe that Nat wanted to ride Astro Orbiter - she still has yet to ride BTMRR!!!
PM EMH?? You will just have to stick around to find out how we did!!
Aha!! I see you have yourself a ticker!!! Does that mean your trip is official??
Looking forward to hearing about your evening, and hoping the upset tummy doesn't return!
Hi! I am hoping to do another TR this year. It's a fun way to remember all of the details of your trip, isn't it? We are staying offsite this year.
Any time spent at WDW is a good time, whether on site or off!! I hope you have a fabulous time - I will watch for your TR when you return! Very curious to hear about HArry Potter!! I like all the black and whites! I'm always messing with my pics in Picasa to see what they look like in b&w.
So what happened later in the day!!!! Um, maybe I don't want to know.
Not official (except for in my head)......nothing is booked.......yet.
Great updates! I love the pics you and Ken got during your walks.
Just have to go do the supper dishes first! Be back soon!!!
CHAPTER 8, PART 2
I checked us in for our ADR and I was told we would be called shortly! We maybe waited 5 minutes before hearing our names being called! We followed our hostess to a table near the stairs at the back and were told that our server would be with us right away!
I cant make up my mind if I like to be kept waiting or not. On one hand I loved taking in the details of the tavern, looking at the colonial and revolutionary paintings, documents and displays. On the other hand I was opting between passing out from hunger and throwing a tantrum to get my bacon and eggs served by Minnie in a maid costume.
There is a sentence I doubt Ill ever say at work.
Isnt the woodwork gorgeous?! BTW, I AM straight, and Im telling you that, not just re-affirming myself there.
She did arrive in a minute and proceeded to take out drink orders! She also said that the characters were just finishing up their breakfast and would be out shortly! The girls and I needed to use the washroom so we headed up the stairs to do so and when we returned there was food arriving at the table!
Chalk up another benefit for having bladder control; and a family of children of the opposite gender.
Since the breakfast was a replacement for Crystal Palace while it was under refurb we were some of the priviledged few who were able to taste its yumminess! There is no link to a menu for this breakfast so you will just have to trust me when I tell you that it was SO GOOD!!!
I have read about American style breakfasts of the period and I was not disappointed. It was also so fattening that my cholesterol and blood sugar seemed to be in a race to the stratosphere.
First brought out was a basket of rolls, croissants and danishes. The chocolate croissants were so delish! Next to be brought out was a bowl of fresh fruit which was just so nice and sweet! The hot food came next and was simply divine! There was a big bowl of scrambled eggs, a huge stuffed french toast thing and a very large plate of meat (bacon, ham and sausage) and potatoes. Everything was sooooo yummy!
]Huge stuffed Fench Toast Thing, aka, breakfast peach cobbler I believe. And the cream cheese croissants made the chocolate ones all so meh in comparison.
The characters arrived one at a time while we were eating and they were all in a playful mood! Chip and Dale joked around, Pluto was being very silly and Minnie was just so sweet in her Colonial outfit! We took lots of pictures but these are the best, sorry if they are a bit fuzzy.
Of course they are fuzzy, they are Chip and Dale!
Chip and Dale were hilarious. They played jokes and pranks on us, and even with some comedic sense and timing I felt awestruck and overwhelmed by the enormous tree rodents skill.
That was another sentence that I dont ever get to say at work.
Id warn Dale about the little imp behind him, but he deserves a good pranking himself.
The pictures are fuzzy because the characters were going by so fast and also because we were so hopped up on sugar none of us could say a straight sentence, never mind stand still or hold a camera without jittering like an epileptic in an earthquake.
Just as we were finishing up and thought we couldn't possibly eat another bite, the servers came around and sang Happy Birthday to Emily and presented her with a cupcake! She was so full she couldn't eat more than a couple bites so she asked one of the servers if she could have it put into a paper cup and take it to go! The were very happy to do that for her and even gave her some paper napkins as well!
If there was ever a look that said My lord; more food. I couldnt be happier. Now Dad get that gorram camera outa my face and put this food away before I loose breakfast on you., this was it.
As we were heading out of the restaurant we were told that because it was not yet 9am and the park had not officially opened yet that we were not actually allowed to leave the vicinity of the restaurant! We were asked to either stay inside LTT or just on the front porch until we were told it was okay to go! While were waiting to go, Natalie took the opportunity to draw a picture! Here it is!
It is cool to just enjoy the park before it is open. So serene and open, like a meadow as the sun clears the trees and makes the dew glisten. My ultimate Disney experience would be to wander the parks before they open, just at dawn, and take in each street and storefront without anyone complaining about line lengths or nonsense about the quality of the food.
At exactly 9am, the fanfare and music began as people were let into the park! We took off ](At a pace that would provoke injury in all but Olympic speed walkers)
in search of adventure and magic to start our day!
