Wow! Talk about commando park afternoon and evening and yet...it seemed relaxed at the same time!
I'm impressed you even attempted a movie after all of that.
That take out pizza looks horrendous though, very good to know.
The Chef Mickey pic is classic! WTG Joe (I assume he took it).
And that's just what it was...we did a LOT in one day, pretty much open to PM EMH, but we took it easy. It was not Joe's ideal day by any means though...he more preferred the next one.
Isn't that so funny about Chef Mickey's? I think I was actually doing a video - so it makes sense, but it sums up me-face in the phone!
Joe is the same way though, we are both addicts.
See you are leaving in just 2 days for DL! Have a great time. I can't wait to see your pix-you take such wonderful photos. We have been a few times-have friends and family that live nearby. I can't remember if you've been there before or not, but if not, be sure to do Pirates, Space Mountain, and Splash Mountain. All 3 are so much better at DL. Soarin' and Toy Story Mania are exactly the same, and TSM does not have fast passes available there. Be sure to see World of Color. It is amazing! If you are staying at one of the hotels, take advantage of their early entry into California Adventure (you can go in at 9 if the park opens at 10) and get fastpasses for World of Color first, then head to Soarin. Then go over and get in line at the rope for TSM before the gates open to the general public. That way you will be at the front of the rope to head to TSM. (Though this time of year, it may not be too busy) For World of Color, try to get into the blue area where you are right against a railing a step up from the lowest level-there are a group of bushes below the railing so noone will be standing there. No matter how tall the people are in front of you, you will be able to see perfectly and from the center of the show. We had the best standing area (it's all standing only), and we didn't pay for the dinner/lunch to give us the fastpasses. It is not a get wet area, either.
Have a blast!
Thank you for all the tips! It echos what I have read and put into my notes.
This will be our first trip, so I need all the info I can get! I hope to get a good WoC spot for Joe, otherwise he will not be able to see/enjoy the show. I am going to talk to a CM about it too, with his eye condition he truly needs to be close to see. We will be touring Disneyland/DCA on Thursday, Friday and Monday (MLK). Thursday will be quiet, but Friday and Monday will have heavier crowds-nothing serious though. I think we'll be able to get a lot done!
What a great day Brook!! Loved how you ended the day at the party!! Looks like a lot of fun for little ones!!!!
Absolutely want to try that brat when I get back to EPCOT...it looks SO good!!!!! OY...definitely on the list!!!!
2 days....WOW....I'm so excited for you!! Can't wait for your FB updates!
That party was SO fun! We all just had a blast. We will definitely be doing it again in the future.
I could go for a brat right about now - I just read an update by Magdalene about the F&WF brats versus true German brats.
YUM.
I hate that we missed you guys. Logan just was not into the dance party and we had gotten there as soon as it started and there was no way of bribing him to stay, we weren't even able to get him to go back by there after a ride on TOT. So we just left and missed out on meeting you guys.
It looks like Henry had a great time and I'm sure Logan would have had fun with him. Love the pictures.
Here's hoping that our paths cross again one day.
I was bummed too! But, I totally understand - it's not worth the meltdown/hassle!
I hope our paths cross again!! We really did have a great time in there, I expected to be standing by the wall and just watching, but we were all into it-most all the parents were. It was one of the highlights of the trip for me!
What a long day!! I'm glad it was a good one!
I love your Christmas card - so fun!
Have a great trip!!
Thanks Amy! I can't believe we leave tomorrow!
Great update(s) Brook! That
was the day that never ended! LOL
Love all the topiary pics and I love the one with Henry and Mickey & Minnie.
I never thought you would leave Epcot and head to DHS!
If I don't talk to you, have a wonderful time in DL!!!
I cannot believe we did all that in one day. Usually after an entire day at Epcot I am BEAT. We just kept going and going...I guess it's due to our incredibly relaxed 9 days prior.
Once again I love all of the topiary pictures!!!
Your pretzel really looked amazing!!!
The CR looks so beautiful at night!!! My husband and I are going to stay there in September after our cruise for our 10th anniversary! I'm so excited!
Those pretzels from Sommerfest in Germany are AWESOME. They are soooooo much better than the generic pretzels all over property.
Oh wow, a cruise plus the CR! That will be one phenomenal trip!!! Plus September is a fantastic time to go, lower crowds and nice weather!
Great updates!! Love all the topiaries. looks like you guys had a looonnnngggg but really fun day!!
Have an awesome time at DLand!!!
We did! It was so fun to see all the topiaries. I hope to make it back for a F&GF in 2013, but we shall see!
Have a great time at Disneyland! Can't wait to see the posts on here!
I will definitely try to post a few pics or something here! I will be updating regularly on both my regular Facebook page and my TA Facebook page and Twitter @brookwoz (if we aren't friends yet on Facebook, shoot me a PM with your info! )
Happy new Year Brook! I had not realized that I missed a few December updates but caught up today (just skipped through to your posts)
Your pics are so much fun. I just love the end of the last day doing the Dance Party with Henry & all the characters. He looks so cute showing Quincy the macarena
that is something we have never done...hopefully Katie will be up for it in '13. we'll see.
I have been updating a LOT this month in attempts to get this done pre-Disneyland...but well...
The Dance Party really is a neat addition and a total blast! I hope you are able to do it, we will definitely be back to it sometime before Henry gets too old!
What a busy, but fun day! The F & G displays are so pretty! Too cute about Henry and his girlfriendS. He will meet one of them again one day and it will be true love! You guys are wild going from Epcot to DHS. I had the best intentions on doing that on Christmas day, but I was just too tired.
It was so fun to watch him run with those girls. All us Moms were chatting and laughing at them. The one little girl had about 10 stuffed animals with her
and a beach towel. They would lay it all out on the ground and then walk around with the beach towel full of animals.
Awesome updates and pics!! Can't wait to see your pics from Disneyland too!
Thank you! I can't believe we are going TOMORROW!
But, Henry enjoyed it, so all well!
), so we needed to get new cards with 1 night of Deluxe Dining Credits on them. The front desk there was completely confused. The Manager came out, she was confused as well. Eventually they cut us new cards, telling us we'd have to get another set tomorrow. I said "Sounds good!" but didn't believe them due to our experience at the Boardwalk.
And we had no problems with our Dining Credits, so it seems all was good there! It was a great way to start the day, very relaxed - we were in there for well over an hour.
