MR BACK's Back!

[ibouncetoo]

Hey, thanks for that description. I wish I could see it - do you have any clue what page it was on? I can then go get it this weekend. My husband would love it. If not, I can sift through, no big deal.

Try page 145 or 245 (try 245 first)....but you can 'get' it from my post above, can't you? Or is there some tech-no/computer reason you need to copy it from the original post? They added a new Pirates on with Mickey and Minnie in pirate dress......I'm liking that one.

aw: Ibouncetoo, I see you Less than a week until we get jealous of your next DL adventure. edit: You disappeared when I was posting....have a great weekend.

Okay, back to wishing for codes so that I can upgrade for the first part of our trip---second half is BWV. I have Pop on hold for now...I really want POFQ or CSR. I wish that one of us had an AP back in Feb. We never thought we would do WDW 2x this year. Our next trip to WDW after this one would be most likely be Dec. 2006 during value season.

I want to go West next year (WL)----I need to watch my DVR'ed Great Hotels.

Hey all, just a quick drive by to say "Good Morning!!!"

 

[ibouncetoo]

Morning All! Waiting for washing machine repair man (AGAIN, since they cancelled last Sat).

NCBelle, I LOVED POFQ! I'm noodling around with the idea of it being the night-before-my-hypothetical-cruise-hotel. Although the ultimate extravagance (sp?) would be a night at AKL so we'd only have to walk downstairs to BOMA. I think Boma before a cruise would be a wonderful thing!

Must go find some breakfast now.............

Hey everyone!

I'm going to try to post some pics for our California adventure today or tomorrow since I'm at work & have time to do such things.

I need some advice. We are going to WDW in November with DH's dad & step-mom. I have made a few PS's (ADR's, whatever...), but need some ideas for more. So far, we are having dinner at Marrakesh, Ohana & CP, breakfast at CRT (thanks to my super-cool, on the ball, PDS) & Cape May. We are also doing an Illuminations cruise!! How cool are we?

Who has suggestions????

We always like Garden Grill. Sci-Fi for the Hamburgers, and Prime-Time Cafe to watch the 'rents get their hands slapped. Breakfast-osaurus is giid to. Rain Forest, but they are all over. What about Calif Grill? Why am I hungry all of the sudden...

oddball27, Hi

 

[ibouncetoo]

. We are also doing an Illuminations cruise!! How cool are we?

Who has suggestions????

I'd say "too cool for words!" Well, my faves are LeCellier in Canada/Epcot lunch or dinner. And, #1, of course is Boma. A real treat for me was eating on the patio at The Brown Derby....loved the grapefruit cake. Have you been to the restaurnt forum, there's lots of talk lately about the changes at Ohana, and people are not happy What about Kona Cafe for breakfast....TONGA TOAST (which, I've never actually eaten BTW, I had a great ham and mushroom omlette).

When I really thing about it, deep in my heart of hearts, I'm still royally p'd off that I didn't get to go in April. Now, I will have had three hops over to Disneyland instead, and I was there in Januray (AND the previous October AND the previous April), but I'm still sad. OH NO! Have I turned into a ? When I think about it, I'm ashamed of myself for feeling that way. I've been blessed with all the visits I've had. So I'm just going to shake it off, and think about the fun I'll have next weekend showing my friend DCA and taking her on TOT for the first time! And when I come back I'll dream about a cruise. And if that doesn't happen, I'll just plan another WDW trip for SOMEDAY.

Well, that just felt like therapy

I just got back from Sears, where I purchased a new washing machine. Yep, the old one (15 years) was dead, dead, dead. Now I'm hot and tired....think I'll take a pre-prandial nap!

[geffric]

Ibouncetoo ya still can join us for a long weekend in November.. It is the last weekend of the food and wine..

 

[NC Belle]

Ibouncetoo---we have the room in the BWV studio between 10/23-10/26. BYOC (Bring your Own Chocolate)

Hey Oddball....did you start school? Its been real quiet around here without you. I need to have NC Beast take a latest photo of me---my shortest cut in decades. 13+ inches off Jessie did not recognize me at first--kept her distance all night.


Big Brother 6 is on---I'll be back later or tomorrow.

 

[deadheadbelle]

Hey freaks!

Me no likey Garden Grille. We might try Sci-Fi for lunch, I haven't eaten there before.

ibouncetoo, CHANGES AT OHANA??? ? What are you talking about??? Holy crap, why must they mess with my favorite place? I must go look into this. I was thinking about trying Boma, but maybe we'll do another Epcot place. I haven't been to Le Cellier or Rose & Crown and both of those look good to me.

geffric, when are you going to be there? Where are you staying? What's the scoop? I'd love to at least catch up with you somewhere. My husband still thinks I'm nuts for talking to you axe murderers, but I could ditch him for a bit.

NCBelle, are you going to MNSSHP? It's super fun! You definitely need to post a picture of your new 'do.

oddball, you are cool. I'm off to read my PM's.

Alrighty, here's our trip to California. We arrived late Saturday night & went straight to the hotel. It is really nice, clean, has BIG rooms and I highly recommend it.

Partying at the Sheraton Anaheim:

Heading to breakfast with Lilo & Stitch (yummy, yummy breakfast!):

Lainie no trusty Pluto (or any other character, for that matter):

Stitch & Josh:

After breakfast, we went back to room & swam, then headed to Angel Stadium for the Yankees (puke!) at Angels game:

The Yanks won so DH & Josh were happy, happy, happy.

 

[deadheadbelle]

We got up early Monday morning & took the hotel shuttle to DL!!! We arrived just as the gates were opening.

Haunted Mansion:

As we walked by the castle, toward the Matterhorn, we passed a beautiful princess who stopped to talk to Lainie:

While everyone went to ride the Matterhorn, Lainie & I headed to the Carousel. Yep, that's right, my girl got the golden horse.

After riding pretty much everything we wanted to at DL, we headed over to California Adventure. First stop, TOWER OF TERROR...

Riding The Golden Zephyr:

 

[deadheadbelle]

The next day, we got up, went shopping at DTD, then headed for Del Mar. Once we checked in to our super-de-duper, awesome resort, we headed for the beach:

We took it easy that evening & hung at the hotel.

Wednesday we swam in the pool, my parents went to the races at Del Mar..where "the surf meets the turf" and we headed into San Diego for the rehearsal.

Thursday we went to the beach in the morning.

California girl:

OMG DHB, you take the cutest pictures; I guess it runs in the family

I just had to post this picture... a couple of days ago, we found him standing in his crib, talking to the sheep.. I guess he didn't understand that he was supposed to count them...

 

[deadheadbelle]

Thursday afternoon...time for the wedding!

me

my friend, Amanda, and her dad:

the kiss

Friday, at the airport, time to go home.

All in all, we had a wonderful time. I really, really liked Disneyland/CA. I would definitely like to go back (as would DH & the kids).
