That actually makes me feel so much better about Bourbon street now.
If you get a good batch at POFQ they are close. Don't let them cool too much, then they get mushy.
Love the last updates. Watching the world go by is great. It has been far too many years since I have been at F&G time. 2013 might be the year.
I was thinking GCV but the points are high since I will probably be going over the weekend. I still have not decided so it still may happen.
I have fond memories of Christmas in NY. Thanks for all the pictures.
It does get cleaned!
I was going to call DVC today and ask about using my points for a regular hotel room, even though they just opened that option, it hasn't been available for my dates. But a room is a room is a room - if they have one open, it would be in their best interest to give it to me I would think! Disney is strange with that sometimes though...
We currently have the GCV for just a Monday night, so we will only get the tease.
Your welcome for the pictures! It was you who told me about eating a pretzel at Rockefeller every year growing up, right? I think about that story every time I walk in that area and hope Henry has similar fond memories!
Wonderful update! Epcot is just so pretty and I am very glad that you brought back so many pictures.
Considering that every other theme park has a playground, I think that would indeed be a nice addition at Epcot. But I think there are some cute fountains to play in during the rest of the year?
Have a wonderful time at
Disneyland! I am quite determined to get there this year as well - but I will wait until the fall...
Unfortunately my WDW plans so far for 2013 are for May rather than March... But I am sure at some point our plans will coincide. Are you still planning on visiting Europe in 2014?
Yes! Epcot does have some fantastic fountains. I actually had a couple pics of Henry playing in one that I didn't include in the last update since he wouldn't actually go IN, but just stuck his hand in...kinda boring pictures!
On a hot day, those fountains are wonderful!
I didn't realize you were going to Disneyland this year I don't think?! Or I just forgot or got it mixed up! That is fantastic!! I'm really excited about it, and a bit nervous since I don't know what to fully expect.
And yes, Europe is still on my radar for 2014! Joe is all for it too. If we can afford it, we will be there!!
Love the NYC pictures. Very pretty!
Have a great trip to Disneyland!
Thank you MeMom! Thinking of you today, praying for your family.
Loved your EPCOT update. The topiaries are beautiful and you always take such amazing pictures.
I'm glad that you guys had a wonderful Christmas and trip to Minnesota.
And I loved all your pictures of NYC at Christmas. I wish we had gotten down there this year, but there are just only so many weekends in December and we were really busy this year. I'd love to take Max to the train show.
I really look forward to seeing the F&GF again some year...it's so pretty! I wouldn't even care if all the topiaries were exactly the same!
Have you ever done the Bronx Botanical Gardens train show? That one is $$, but I hear is awesome. We have meant to go both years now, but haven't.
Loved your updates Brook!! Your Flower and Garden pictures are gorgeous!!!
So glad Henry had a great time playing in the Fairy Garden!!!!!
It was such a cute area, so well themed and sand!!!
You NYC Christmas pictures are making me so sad we didn't make it into the city this year!
I grew up in CT (and my father works for Metro-North), so we would always go in at least once around Christmas to enjoy all the decorations and fun activities!
We took Everett last year, his first Santa experience just HAD to be at Macy's, but the timing didn't work out this year. Hopefully next year we'll get another chance.
Glad to see you guys had lots of fun!
I hope you can make it in next year! We meant to do Santa at Macy's as well, but didn't make it. I avoided it thinking the line would be forever long, but then they learned they do Santa ala Mickey at Town Square - multiple rooms!
Perhaps next year!
So curious - what does your Dad do with Metro-North? The transit systems really fascinate me, they are incredible and extensive. It takes a LOT to run so efficiently and transport SO many people every day!
I love your Christmas card. So funny and so cute.
Wondering if you are going to be able to finish up this TR before you DL trip? I think you can I think you can.
I am really wanting to finish it...I'd have to finish 4 days in just 2 days remaining before we leave!
I still have a May and August WDW trip too.
I need about a good week to just work on the DIS I think!
Fun updates! I didn't spend any time looking at the pixie topiaries so I really enjoyed seeing those. I think that playground is so wonderful it really should be there all year. Love seeing the xmas in NY pics, it is so magical there that time of year. I would love to see that model train exhibit!!!!
4 days till Cali, how fun!
I really enjoyed Pixie Hollow, almost as much as the UK. It was very cute. And, I had plenty of time to wander solo since Henry was engrossed in the playground!
A little late, but I'm here. I had a long wait until the December trip, so I stayed off the TR forum to make the wait a little easier. LOVE the flower and garden pics. So pretty! Hopefully, I'll be seeing it in 9 weeks. You must be so excited about Disney Land. Have a magical time, if I don't talk to you before then.
I completely understand that! After we returned from this trip last year we had nothing on the books and it was SO hard to be on the forums.
So,
Glad you have made it here now! It's been a looooooong haul of a report!
) and her family at DHS for the PM EMH dance party at Disney Junior! I had wanted to do this manyyyy times, but just hadn't - tonight was the night!
If you watch Mickey Mouse Club House, you'll know they have a slide that takes them UP - hence, the upslide! It really does look like it in a way!
