Pumpkins, and candy, and Mickey, oh my! (TR complete!)

I'm a big fan of snack sharing and those looked pretty fun. When did you first start going to DL?

When I was about 7. I grew up in SoCal and we'd go every year at least once. Then after Ruben and I got married we'd go more often until we finally bought passes. I have no clue how many times I've been.

Awesome trip report, can't wait for some more.

I seem to remember a junk food drawer like that at Disney World.

The kids are sure growing up and Reuben is very handsome (first time I have seen a picture of him).

I think that the next time we go to Disneyland we are going to share the snacks we always end up throwing so much away and in doing so, so much money. Did you like my Oprah picture from Saturday?

HI Shirley! I'm so glad you are reading along. And thank you for all the nice words!

I remember a junk drawer too. OMG, all those M&M's!!!

I did!!! I'm sorry, I totally forgot to comment on it. It seemed like you were pretty close. And I was reading about all your swag! Good score!

Yeah, sharing snacks is the way to go. For example, if all the kids want a churro, and I buy 4 churros, I'll be broke! LOL AND they won't even finish them all. So it's a waste.

But if I buy one or two, and we each get a couple bites it satisfies that craving without stuffing ourselves, and saves more room, calories and money to sample something else later on.
It's worked well for us the last few times.

(A few times there might be something you really love and want more of. For me it's the Tinkerbell Twist, so I buy two, one for the kids to share and one for me! )

You know I am going to try a Tinkerbell twist next time we go. It should be warm and that will be refreshing. I finally figured out how to upload my pictures from my kodak to photobucket so I am thinking about puting my random pictures of northern California in a thread on the other California trips section.

They are good. Sour watermelon and sour apple. Yum. I can't find them in DL though. Only DCA for some reason.

You should post some pics!! I'd love to see them. If you do, post a link here so we can check it out.

How weird about all the people falling on

Can't wait for the next installment to hear about your Walk in Walt's footsteps. We are going to do that too.

I had mentioned that Ruben and I went to the Bellagio yesterday to see the decorations up in their conservatory and I thought I'd post some for you to see.

This was so cool. They had two trees in the water, but they were actually fountains and while it's hard to tell, there is water falling down from the branches.

They had water arches shooting across that you walk underneath. Very cool.

The mill was really working, they had a little creek with real water. Not the fake stuff. LOL

This thing creeped me out! LOL

I had Ruben take a pic of this. This is in the lobby where you check in. That's what those desks are. So as you are checking in, this is the view you have of BEHIND the person registering you. So in other words, their backs are to this and you are facing it. How pretty is that??? Much better then some wall with lame pictures on it.

OKay, that's all I have. Just thought I'd share.

Oh good! I'll check them out.

It was weird. I've never seen anyone fall while walking to their elephant, and then bam, two in a row.

The tour was good! I'll try to update later tonight or tomorrow morning. We have pics from the lobby of Club 33.

That is odd. We were in there one time and someone had fallen over by the Matterhorn on the walkway between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland and boy they blocked it of and wouldn't let anyone go through there. I can understand it in this time of lawsuits.

 

[JaneJetson]

Thanks for sharing those photos! I love fall decorations!

 

[kaoden39]

There is an old mill in Napa county that is just so cool. Next time we go I will take pictures and post them.

they are in the Fantasia Gardens area by the Matterhorn!!! that's the only place I have gotten them!

edited to add: because some EVIL person told me about them and although I didn't like it the first time I tried it now I'm addicted to them!

 

[toocherie]

Mmmmm you just made me hungry. I SO cannot wait for March!

That one medic looks like he could be a cutie, too bad I wasn't there to "fall"

I'm happy that you were finally able to ride Dumbo, especially twice because I never got the chance to go on it...or any other ride except Pirates and Mark Twain!

when I was a teenager my girlfriends and I used to make a game of going up to the cute sweeper-uppers (back then they were teenagers--not adults like now) and saying we were taking surveys of who the best sweepers were! LOL

I can see it now--Wendy is going to have a lot of "accidents" in March hoping to meet the cute medic!

Yeah she is!

I don't remember where it was exactly, but I know I was by myself when it happened, but I was staring at a hot CM while going down some stairs and he was looking at me, and I totally missed the last step. HE quickly turned away. Smooth Wendy, really smooth.

Been there, done that! Got the bumper sticker and the t-shirt.
