Enjoyed the pictures! Can't wait for your Chef Mickey's pictures because the one of Brooklynn and Donald Duck was adorable!

Red and silver tinsel stars line the street as you walk toward Tower of Terror.

i loved how this was decorated! such a great shot when you're looking down sunset.

This cop was having quite a bit of trouble with a less than competent driver.

this same cop was giving ray some lip on our last trip. and that's the squirrel lady i saw when erica and i were there. i wonder if she still has her little friend?

Name all the evil people in this picture.

i don't see the MOST evil.

i can't wait! this is such a cute picture.

 

[VandyFan10]

It's the SQUIRREL LADY!!!!

SO CUTE!!!

 

[bertegirl]

Any advice...Chef Mickeys for breakfast or dinner? Thought about doing it for dinner our last night and then going back over to WDW.

Sunset Boulevard looks so pretty with all the stars!

I love the Streetmosphere actors. There was one guy that my family and I LOVED, called Roman Holiday. He was hilarious and so crazy-looking. He gave us a signed black-and-white picture of him; I need to scan it or take a picture and post it.

Those apples look gooooood. For some reason, though, I can't eat raw apples. I'm okay when they're baked. I would totally make a sacrifice for one of those, though.

I can't wait for Chef Mickey's pictures!

Oh dear... were those Reese's Pieces on the chocolate-covered apple in the lower left corner? I think I might need one of those.

And just to be sure I don't lose declansdad, I promise that soon there will be food

and Donald Duck.

First, I don't know what you all see, but that "squirrel lady" looks more like a man to me Just like that scary Wendy/Alice guy in MK!


Second, that plate of food looks heavenly!!! Yummy!!!

Third, look how cute that Brooklynn is!

 

[BrooklynnsMommy]

We started our morning with MeMom with a Mickey waffle on a Minnie plate.

Then we went and visited a friend. Brooklynn really enjoyed playing with her dog, Jack.

THen we were off to the mall. Brooklynn threw some money in the fountain.

Then we went to the Disney Store where we couldn't resist a pair of Ariel flip flops for $.99.

Then we met Bubby to eat at Steak and Shake. Brooklynn waited patiently for her food and colored.

(You can see the flip flops on the table.)

Then we came home to say hi to Jarvis and decorated Brooklynn's arms with Tinkerbell stickers.

 

[bertegirl]

Yummers...Steak and Shake. The only thing in our town is McDonalds and KFC. I so miss living in the big city with a mall.

 

[tinkgurl]

OOOOh! DHS looks so beautiful decorated! And I love the street performers there!

Looks like Brookie had a fun day at the mall/Steak 'n Shake! That Minnie plate is so cute! Do they have any Mickey ones anywhere?

 

[Lady Lallie]

I love the way DHS is decorated for the Holidays, it's got a great feel. Brooklynn looks so cute with Donald Duck!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, I want to eat Mickey waffles at MeMom's! Brooklyn is so cute! I love that sweater that she wore to the mall! I wonder if it comes in my size!

 

[VandyFan10]

this is almost exactly what i said! again, i do believe sometimes we share a brain.

I'm telling you....I just came back to look and saw that we were posting this morning at the SAME time!!!!

I know it has a 9-10min difference between our posting time but I know it wasn't b/c you were not on there when I posted, and I thought about you when I saw the squirrel lady!!!!

Crazy!!

Then we went and visited a friend. Brooklynn really enjoyed playing with her dog, Jack.

Cute Jack and little Jack !!!

 

[scottny]

great update and pics.

can't wait to hear about how your dinner was.

 

[MeMom]

It's a good thing I can't really buy what I am seeing in all of these photos. If I could, I would have bought that Mickey tote bag and the striped sweater. Too cute!

So many wants.
So little money!

I thought it was a fun movie. I don't think I heard one swear word in it! My younger two seemed a bit restless at times, but they said they loved it. There were a few suggestive comments (calling girls/women "hot"), but overall a fun family movie.

I'm sure we'll see it when it comes out on video. I'm glad you had a nice time going to see it with your family. Brooklynn hasn't been to her first theater movie yet. Not much longer, though, and she should be able to make it through one.

Jackie - I liked that sweater too!

I don't know how I'm going to decide which ornament to buy on this trip. You've shown me so many!!!

They had ornaments of every kind and color for trees of every size. Some were for huge trees, because they were gigantic. I got a few very small ornaments for my little bitty tree. Good luck with deciding which ones to get.

Actually I was giving a quiz today. That always puts me a in a good mood, well until I start marking them.

Great food pics today!

What starts the bad mood - the fact that you are having to grade them or that the students didn't do very well on the assignments?

More food pictures coming soon.

Enjoyed the pictures! Can't wait for your Chef Mickey's pictures because the one of Brooklynn and Donald Duck was adorable!

She enjoyed seeing Donald and all of his friends. She also liked pointing out the things she wanted to eat from the buffet. She was cute saying, "I want dat," or "I not like dat." She was in total control, and she was quite enjoying it.

i loved how this was decorated! such a great shot when you're looking down sunset.


this same cop was giving ray some lip on our last trip. and that's the squirrel lady i saw when erica and i were there. i wonder if she still has her little friend?


i don't see the MOST evil.


i can't wait! this is such a cute picture.

That is a pretty scene the way it's laid out.

I enjoy the street performers. Not that I'm one to perform in front of people, but for people who enjoy that kind of thing, that seems like it would be a great job to just go out and have fun and kid around with random people all day.

No, Maleficent wasn't in that one. I was just standing there looking around and noticed I could get several villains in one shot, so I took it.

It's the SQUIRREL LADY!!!!

SO CUTE!!!

What? You're not watching a basketball game, so you came to Dis?
Yay!

Any advice...Chef Mickeys for breakfast or dinner? Thought about doing it for dinner our last night and then going back over to WDW.

Jill said she liked breakfast better. I liked both, so I don't have a preference. I'm sure that didn't help you one bit!

Maybe others here can weigh in and tell her which Chef Mickey's meal they might like better?

Sunset Boulevard looks so pretty with all the stars!

I love the Streetmosphere actors. There was one guy that my family and I LOVED, called Roman Holiday. He was hilarious and so crazy-looking. He gave us a signed black-and-white picture of him; I need to scan it or take a picture and post it.

I can't wait for Chef Mickey's pictures!

The street performers are such a nice perk of this park.

I liked apples any way you serve them. I like apple slices, fried apples, apple cobbler.... YUM! I look at candy apples when we're out, but I have rarely ever bought one.

Oh dear... were those Reese's Pieces on the chocolate-covered apple in the lower left corner? I think I might need one of those.

They look like Reese's Pieces, don't they?
I would choose one covered in nuts. Pecans, most likely.

this is almost exactly what i said! again, i do believe sometimes we share a brain.

Is that hard to do, seeing as you guys live in different states and all?

First, I don't know what you all see, but that "squirrel lady" looks more like a man to me Just like that scary Wendy/Alice guy in MK!


Second, that plate of food looks heavenly!!! Yummy!!!

Third, look how cute that Brooklynn is!

Jill and Trent 'swore' that one of the girls in the Dream parade was a guy.

That plate, however, is lacking its green veggies!

Yummers...Steak and Shake. The only thing in our town is McDonalds and KFC. I so miss living in the big city with a mall.

We have a hundred restaurants within a few blocks at the mall nearest our house. The Steak and Shake was good. Trent got a Frisco melt, Jill got chicken, Brooklynn got grilled cheese, and I got a burger. We all ate our share of skinny fries!

OOOOh! DHS looks so beautiful decorated! And I love the street performers there!

Looks like Brookie had a fun day at the mall/Steak 'n Shake! That Minnie plate is so cute! Do they have any Mickey ones anywhere?

Yes, Jill has the Mickey one at her house. They had them at the Disney Store a couple of years ago.

We usually go all the way around the mall and see the Aquarium and the RFC hippo and all, but they only had a short time to stay, so we just hit the Disney Store and left.

I love the way DHS is decorated for the Holidays, it's got a great feel. Brooklynn looks so cute with Donald Duck!

It did have a special feel to it; I agree. I just like the streets of Hollywood Studios anyway, especially at night when all those lights are on.

Oh, I want to eat Mickey waffles at MeMom's! Brooklyn is so cute! I love that sweater that she wore to the mall! I wonder if it comes in my size!

Come on up! There's always room for more. Brooklynn would love following Chelsea and Connor around and trying to do everything they can do. I bet Chelsea would be a good babysitter, too!

 

[MeMom]

I'm telling you....I just came back to look and saw that we were posting this morning at the SAME time!!!!

I know it has a 9-10min difference between our posting time but I know it wasn't b/c you were not on there when I posted, and I thought about you when I saw the squirrel lady!!!!

Crazy!!


Cute Jack and little Jack !!!

Yep, that's exactly what that was - Little Jack! She was happy to find that little plush dog that looked like him. He sits on a shelf in their den, but she doesn't let Jack play with him. Jack has a ball, a Frisbee, an Easter bunny, and some other things he can chew on, but Little Jack is just for show.

great update and pics.

can't wait to hear about how your dinner was.

Thanks, Scott.

Dinner pictures will be coming soon, but first there is a Thanksgiving Day dance!

 

[Charleston Princess]

So many wants.
So little money!

Story of my life!

Come on up! There's always room for more. Brooklynn would love following Chelsea and Connor around and trying to do everything they can do. I bet Chelsea would be a good babysitter, too!

Chelsea and Connor would have a blast! Chelsea loves playing with little kids!

Having to mark them, I hate marking!!

 

[luna99]

just curious, what are those green and yellow things?? Love this trip report!
