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

I love the Bellagio pictures. For as many times as I have been there, I have never been inside that hotel.

Washington isn't that expensive either, well not Eastern WA where I live.

LOVE the bellagio pics Beth..I have never been to Vegas, can you believe that!?

Oh, you must come out here! Everyone has to go to Vegas at least once.

That is the best smilie ever!

And, hahahahaha I've eaten at Club 33!

Yeah, yeah. You told me you were only 14 at the time and don't remember any of it.

The Bellagio is really nice. I love the fountains. Those are my favorite thing on the entire Strip.

I'd love to live in either WA or OR but I don't know much about either state.

Um, I had some really good chicken and I got to see the fancy bathroom!

Don't be jealous.

Well, it's awfully hard not to be jealous of chicken and a bathroom, but I'll try.

All I ask is that you try.

After we finished the tour, we called my in-laws to see how things were going. They were fine! The kids were having a blast playing in Castaway Cove. They had been playing in there off and on, and were going to play for another hour, then go to McDonalds for ice cream. (So handy having that Mickey D's so close to HoJo!)

They told us to take our time and not to hurry back. We decided to go walking around Downtown Disney since that is not something we can do with the kids. They get bored and annoying when we drag them into the shops. Not sure why.

First stop was Marceline's for some pumpkin fudge! But......darn it, they were out! Oh, the horror! So we settled for some peanut brittle and a cupcake instead. The cupcake was surprisingly good. I was worried it would be dry, but it wasn't. Dang, now I want another one. I love cupcakes.

These are pics of some of the many yummy temptations that they sell there.

From there we went into Department 59 and they had the cutest Halloween town set up! I tried to take some pics. They didn't turn out very well, but you get the idea. I'd love a set-up like that in my house.

From there we kept walking down to check out the pins. We ended buying the Toy Story Mania opening day one, and I picked out a Mickey head in the shape of cherries! The 3 years we lived in MI were spent in a town called Traverse City, and they are known for their cherries, so it was just calling my name.

We were going to take the monorail from there back into Disneyland, and then walk back to HoJo, but we wanted to ride in the new monorail and the CM told me it wasn't running. He said anytime the temp reaches over 85, they have to stop running it because it gets too hot in there. I must have missed this story. Please tell me how they build a new fancy monorail and then fail to include a cooling system?? So dumb.

So we decided to just walk back. On the way past the DL gates, we took shots of these guys.

Ruben met up with the kids and his parents at McDonalds for some ice cream, while I kept going to the hotel. I was tired. It was really hot and that always drains me. I was looking forward to a nice, quick nap but when I walked into the room it was a mess!! Ugh. My MIL isn't the neatest person to say the least. Being the compulsive person that I am, I couldn't leave the room that way so I spent the entire time I had in there alone, cleaning.

Before long, the kids and Ruben came back to the room. We said our good-byes to his parents and gathered our water bottles and backpack to head back to Disneyland for some more fun!

Up next......more fun in the parks and a cute horses butt! lol

I love the Halloween town area 51 or whatever that's called!

So cute! It's all the tree's and moss and extra's that make it look really cute, IMHO. Hard to display, I would think.

Unreal about the Monorail.. that's as bad as building outdoor malls up here in Oregon.. HELLOOOOOOO... it's flippin RAINING.. why on earth would I want to walk from store to store outside?? Sure it would work in San Bernadino but this isn't San Bernandino and oh yea, monorail guys... it gets hot in LA.

I hope you were able to get the pumpkin fudge somewhere else.. I know it was on your list!

P.S. I am jealous of chickens and bathrooms.

 

[Disneygrl36]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN BETH!!!!!!!

I love that hidden Mickey in the Marceline Confections logo.......if I wasn't a chicken & could figure out a way to do it, I would love to turn that into a tatoo.

Loved the Halloween village. I have a little halloween house but nothing so elaborate. Posted a pic of it on my trippie today.

I think the fall/Halloween decorations at DL are adorable. I can only hope the Christmas ones are as special.

I wouldn't have been able to not clean up the room either.......what is with us?

 

[kaoden39]

I love that little village. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to afford that little village. And that is why every year I buy one piece and then go to Michaels after Halloween.

I never was able to find the fudge! That's ok. We lived in Traverse City which next to cherries, is known for it's fudge. I've had way too much fudge in those 3 years we were there! LOL And I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin fudge. I'd rather have chocolate with walnuts. I was just going to buy some so I could say we did.

I'd rather have some pumpkin cheesecake! Mmmmmm. Speaking of cheesecake this is my to-go slice Ruben stopped and picked up for my birthday last week. It's the vanilla bean flavor which is my favorite because it's sweeter then just the original, but not as sweet as some of the others. Very smooth and creamy. I didn't want any cake. Just cheesecake.

The hidden mickey is pretty cool, isn't it?

The Christmas ones are pretty amazing too. You'll love it!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't leave the room alone! I even made the beds and picked up everyday. Then I still left a $5 tip each day. I know, I'm nuts.

I'd love to have something like that!!!!

 

[mommaU4]

I hope you all have a great day today!!!! Try not to eat too many of those bite me sized candies!!

 

[wendylady36]

All those goodies look so yummy! I've never actually been in Marceline's, but it looks a lot like what Pooh's Corner has, YUM!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

 

[mommaU4]

Awww, cute kitty! They do have some of the same treats as Pooh's Corner, which has some of the same ones as that candy shop near the front of DCA. All so yummy though! LOL



Hey Lynn, I just wanted to let you know that I read your review of the Halloween tour at DL. Sounds fun! Sorry it was so crowded though. We were lucky, our first three days at DL (Tues, Wed, and Thurs) were just fine! After that, Fri and Sat were a mess!!

But Saturday was the BEST day I've had at DL in a long time. Why, when it was so crowded? Well, you'll have to keep reading....





Am I the only one having a hard time staying away from the damn Halloween candy today???

 

[wendylady36]

But Saturday was the BEST day I've had at DL in a long time. Why, when it was so crowded? Well, you'll have to keep reading....

I know why! I guess I don't have to keep reading...

 

[blue donkey]

I'm curious to know, so I guess I'll just have to keep reading!

 

[mommaU4]

I know why! I guess I don't have to keep reading...

Guess not! Buh-bye! Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!

I'm curious to know, so I guess I'll just have to keep reading!

Guess so! You can have Wendy's spot on the couch since she left.
