Mingos in the Watah! What in the Wuhld?

[MeMom]

I felt guilty leaving your plates so empty, so I went back to the Feb/March report and grabbed some food from Crystal Palace for you. It's still good, I promise. Fill up!

 

[Poolrat]

Thanks for the virtual breakfast!!!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

Oh those poor legs and feet do need a rest! Standing on concrete is the worst.

You deserve a rest day! Or should I say a DIS day!

If it's not too much trouble, I had asked for the fruit cocktail cake recipe.

I have to share some excitting news...I'm looking into a little Christmas surprize for Lexi.
I'm looking at booking the Christmas Memories package at the Gaylord Palms.
It's a gorgeous resort!
Lexi is a huge fan of the Dreamworks movies and she would flip if she got to meet the characters she has loved for years.
We would also get to see ICE!
We would arrive one day earlier and stay for 2 nights.
I plan on renting a car so we can get some shopping in aswell as be able to transfer to POP.
As we all know I am the worst at keeping things a secret from her (I get so excitted) but this one I am going to try my hardest at.
I can't decide if I want to surprize her at Christmas or wait til we land at the airport.


Enjoy the day all!

* I had no idea we were going to Crystal Palace for breakfast this morning...I would have changed out of my pj's.

Great pics of the girls!
I love the one with Brooklynn making the missing ear with her fingers.

Brooklyn's hair looked so pretty with the flowers.

Mmmn...I could eat a whole plate full of that yummy buffet!

Maybe it should be a Mickey waffle day at our house.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Thanks for the virtual breakfast, MeMom!

Love that Jill put flowers in Brooklyn's hair, Bella ate her eggs with her hands, and Brooklyn recreated the missing Mickey waffle ear. Too funny!

 

[MEK]

wow - meMom - that food looks amazing. I really thought I was there for a sec! Thanks!

 

[declansdad]

Love Crystal Palace. That was our first ever ADR and we make sure we go every visit, well except one visit when we weren't really there. We have tried all three meals but breakfast is the best simply for the empty Main Street.

I wonder if that policeman is still laughing. Good story!

 

[LoveMyTwoPrincesses]

Brooklyn's hair looks so pretty with the flowers. I bet she felt like the most beautiful girl in the world. Isn't it sweet how doing a little something like that makes them feel so special?

 

[stayhomemom77]

I love Crystal Palace breakfast! We've only been once but we had a great time.

Brooklynn looks so adorable with the flowers in her hair...what a cool mom for thinking of putting them in!

I love the pic of sweet Bella eating her eggs with her hands and the one of Brooklynn "reattaching" Mickey's waffle ear!

And thanks for putting in pics of the buffet. I really was very hungry!

I'm glad you survived camp and hope you can sleep better 'o nights now that you explained the extenuating circumstances of the messiness of the house to the officer on the scene.

Hope your injury heals quickly and you don't have trouble with the tigers like that ever again!

Enjoy your weekend of rest MeMom!

No fair only giving us a choice of three. There are three our family has never done as well as some old favourites, so I refuse to answer because I couldn't narrow it down!

 

[TCKK]

I love Crystal Palace and the food looks so good...much better than the boiled eggs and toast I had this morning.

Empty Main Street...I've never seen that except in pictures. Probably won't this time either. But that's okay, it just makes me enjoy your pictures even more.

Love Brooklynn's hair with the flowers. So cute.

Looking forward to where you're headed next. Have a great restful day!

 

[JaxJags08]

Thanks for the Crystal Palace pics - my favorite restaurant! I love Pooh and friends.

Brooklynn's hair looks great. Who needs Bippity Boppity Boutique?

 

[ClaireW]

Thanks for breakfast MeMom - just over a month and we'll be there - one of my favourite places
Think I'll be looking for a recipe for that peach casserole and have ourselves a CP breakfast at home before we go!

 

[StephaniexMarie]

That breakfast sure looks better than the frozen waffles I just had.

LOVE Brooklynn's hair! So cute! & Bella is eating her eggs so fancy-like.

Only three of those attractions! I'd have to go with Pirates, Splash, and the Haunted Mansion.

 

[DWGal210]

Thanks for the breakfast treat!! Yummy!!

It's good that you have a rest day today. My plans are having a bday lunch with my dad & a quick run to the grocery store, but after that it's comfy clothes, movies & junk food. I plan on being a lump on the couch the rest of the weekend!!

 

[SoonerGirl]

I just felt a rumbly in my tummy! Your breakfast looked scrumptious!

I love that Jill put those flowers in Brooklynn's hair, so cute

 

[MeMom]

If you can only choose three of these today, which will you choose?
(Go with all rides/attractions being up and running - including the new Tiki Room.)

I forgot to say my choices.
I'd pick Big Thunder, Splash, and the new Tiki Room.

Thanks for the virtual breakfast!!!

You are welcome. I ate leftover bread pudding for breakfast this morning.

Oh those poor legs and feet do need a rest! Standing on concrete is the worst.

What a grand trip this will be for you guys!

As for the fruit cocktail cake, I just use a yellow cake mix and use the juice from a can of fruit cocktail in place of some of the water. Mix as usual, and you can add coconut and/or nuts, if you'd like. You can also do the cake without either and put them in the glaze, if you'd rather. I just play with different ideas. Anyway, when you have it mixed, fold in about 1/2 to 2/3 can of fruit coctail and bake. I make a powdered sugar glaze to go on top. It's a good cake and is something a little different to take to activities.

I especially love the fruit at Disney buffets. Yum!

Thanks for the virtual breakfast, MeMom!

Love that Jill put flowers in Brooklyn's hair, Bella ate her eggs with her hands, and Brooklyn recreated the missing Mickey waffle ear. Too funny!

It was a fun morning - and a wonderful way to start a trip.

wow - meMom - that food looks amazing. I really thought I was there for a sec! Thanks!

You could clatter some plates around, twirl a napkin, and prance around your kitchen table to make it seem a little more 'realer'.

Love Crystal Palace. That was our first ever ADR and we make sure we go every visit, well except one visit when we weren't really there. We have tried all three meals but breakfast is the best simply for the empty Main Street.

I wonder if that policeman is still laughing. Good story!

I'll ask a man's opinion. Would you have felt the need to justify your horrible house? I really did want to thank him, but I felt compelled to explain the house, too.

Brooklyn's hair looks so pretty with the flowers. I bet she felt like the most beautiful girl in the world. Isn't it sweet how doing a little something like that makes them feel so special?

She did feel very lovely. After the trip, she got a cute haircut, too. She loves picking the flowers that scatter on the ground at the parks and resorts. We always bring a few souvenir petals home.

I love Crystal Palace breakfast! We've only been once but we had a great time.

Brooklynn looks so adorable with the flowers in her hair...what a cool mom for thinking of putting them in!

No fair only giving us a choice of three. There are three our family has never done as well as some old favourites, so I refuse to answer because I couldn't narrow it down!

I gave you mine. A lot of people wouldn't pick Tiki Room, but Brooklynn enjoys it, and it's an old classic, so I am enjoying being able to share it with her now. I hope it's open in October.

I love Crystal Palace and the food looks so good...much better than the boiled eggs and toast I had this morning.

Empty Main Street...I've never seen that except in pictures. Probably won't this time either. But that's okay, it just makes me enjoy your pictures even more.

Love Brooklynn's hair with the flowers. So cute.

Looking forward to where you're headed next. Have a great restful day!

I haven't eaten a boiled egg in a long time. I boiled some at Easter to make deviled eggs, though.

I do hope you get some good Disney time on this trip.

Thanks for the Crystal Palace pics - my favorite restaurant! I love Pooh and friends.

Brooklynn's hair looks great. Who needs Bippity Boppity Boutique?

Yep, just a few flowers from the ground and Mommy's braiding expertise works out very nicely!

Thanks for breakfast MeMom - just over a month and we'll be there - one of my favourite places
Think I'll be looking for a recipe for that peach casserole and have ourselves a CP breakfast at home before we go!

There's so much to choose from there!

A Crystal Palace breakfast at home sounds very fun.

That breakfast sure looks better than the frozen waffles I just had.

LOVE Brooklynn's hair! So cute! & Bella is eating her eggs so fancy-like.

Only three of those attractions! I'd have to go with Pirates, Splash, and the Haunted Mansion.

Bella had her palm ready to stuff in anything that thought about falling out.

I figure a lot of people are going to go with Pirates and Haunted Mansion.

Thanks for the breakfast treat!! Yummy!!

It's good that you have a rest day today. My plans are having a bday lunch with my dad & a quick run to the grocery store, but after that it's comfy clothes, movies & junk food. I plan on being a lump on the couch the rest of the weekend!!

I cleared out the entire fridge and put everything in plastic containers and ziplock bags so I could see what all was there, so that was a productive thing. I can see the bottom of my sink again, too. That is happiness right now. I am going to work in short spurts.

I just felt a rumbly in my tummy! Your breakfast looked scrumptious!

I love that Jill put those flowers in Brooklynn's hair, so cute

Have you taken care of that rumbly tummy issue now? What would your boys do if they saw you eating breakfast surrounded by some old 100 Acre Wood plush animals you had retrieved from the attic?

 

[PlutosRHM55]

If you can only choose three of these today, which will you choose?
(Go with all rides/attractions being up and running - including the new Tiki Room.)

Hmm... I would pick... the new Tiki Room, Splash and HM.

Awww... how creative to put flowers in Brooklynn's hair to look like Rapunzel. I can only imagine the pictures with Rapunzel. Adorable And I'm just eyeing those Mickey Waffles right now; Mickey Waffles are Love in my book Not a fan of eggs though. :/ The Apple Crisp (or whatever that is haha?) looks really good! Love how Brooklynn is trying to recreate the devoured Mickey ear Hahahaha

Cute character photos! I love how Bella is in the same position whenever the characters come by. It's like they were photoshopped in. Hopefully someday she starts adjusting to the characters.

Can't wait to read about your M&G with Rapunzel!

 

[declansdad]

I'll ask a man's opinion. Would you have felt the need to justify your horrible house? I really did want to thank him, but I felt compelled to explain the house, too.

Oh I probably would have said something, or pooksma would have but they probably would still be laughing. Not at the house but the need to explain the house. I think we can all relate.

 

[frazers mum]

Love the Crystal Palace pictures. Jills pleading face picture is funny We have all been there as parents haven't we. I recognise that face from myself pleading with Frazer over the years. Brooklynn's hair looks so pretty.Hope she got to meet her Rapunzel

 

[IheartDDuck]

Mmmm, those pictures are making me so hungry....

I haven't eaten at Crystal Palace in quite some time, but everyone's pictures of it makes me want to go back.

Love Brooklynn's hair with the flowers in it. Looks very pretty. I bet you Rapunzel was impressed.

 

[LookinUp]

MeMom, you're so lucky your neighbor cared enough to call about your open door. That story has an old Irish saying ringing in my ears: Always do the dishes before bed, because you never know when you'll have to call a priest in the night. Or a policeman in the daytime, as it turns out. Even though neither one cares about the state of our kitchens!

I love, love the MK reflection pics. Gorgeous!

If I had to pick only three of the listed attractions, I'd pick four. Yup, I'd "cheat" by using FPs! Bcz then we could do Splash & BT Mtns in virtually the time for just one. HM & Tiki would round out my 4-pack, seeing as how I need to see them after their reno's.

Hope you do nap later, MeMom. And stay cool, all!
