Yeah, ours are lookin' pretty raggedy. Except the vintage ones in the window facing the entrance - those are actually neat!
Is it like the original DL one? That might be something I can tempt Will with...
Would you believe I saw the 'Under New Management' version before I saw the DL one? I mean, I'm sure I saw it when I was 5, but that doesn't really count. So I was intrigued by how "old school" the original is

It was so great to read about your DP. I think I might have mentioned it, but DH and I originally had one of these booked for the next week. We ended up doing the dinner at the GF instead and decided to save it for a future occasion. Your pictures are fantastic and have definitely solidified that we will be doing this for another anniversary 
We were eating anniversary cake for our entire week too, so I loved seeing your morning after cake shots. That is definitely the best flavor, that's what we ordered again too 
I can't believe how much the temperatures changed by the time we arrived that Saturday. You were definitely brave adventuring out in the cold that night.
Looking forward to more!

OMG you can't go wrong with horse poop!!!
I like your country bear pictures. Here is a quick fact for you.
Every time I go into the country bear jamboree with my parents my dad HAS to sing along with Big Al and LOUD. We have the crowd look back at us every time. THERE WAS BLOOOOOOOOOOOD ON THE SADDLE....

Well......
this is from our trip in Sept. Maybe you would be lucky enough for them to place all the stickers on you too! Apparently they put the stickers on the kids because it is much more interesting for them to peel those off then realize they are getting a hair cut.
(she was 14 months here, I can't believe she actually let them cut her hair)

No!!! Even
?! Fabulous!who won??? what did they win?
All will be revealed in the next installment....
Good thinkin'!
Oh I hope so! The photo would be that much more funny!
Accordin to DH's Country Bears expert friend, the MK version is identical to the one they had at Disneyland before they changed Liver Lips to be like Elvis.
If the DIS had Smell-o-Vision, we'd all be in trouble!
I know - it was downright balmy on Saturday. And the beginning of our trip wasn't bad, but Jennifaerie said the week before, when they'd been at WDW before their cruise, had been bitterly cold too! Weird.
Too true!

That's hilarious!
My mom used to sing that song too! Must've struck a chord with our parents' generation... Aw, cute! What a trouper she was! Giving out stickers is a great idea. Maybe when I go, I'll pretend to throw a tantrum so I can get free stickers too.

And now, the thrilling conclusion of Funny Caption Contest!!!
To determine the winner of the contest, we read each gag in front of the Laugh Meter at the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor and gauged the reaction of someone who is not me (but might possibly be DH).
And the prize went to...
LACEY!!!
I guess those Brazilians are on their way to the Dream Suite again!
Laceys glamorous WDW souvenir prize was...
...a flashing-color bouncy eyeball!!!
Unfortunately, I still hadnt had the presence of mind to get any of Laceys contact info, despite our frequent stalking, so I wasnt sure how to get the eyeball to her. But I had a feeling we would meet again...
Anyway, all this talk of horse doots had made us start thinking of lunch, so we went to see if we could make an ADR at the Plaza Restaurant. It was the last table-service place in the Magic Kingdom we hadnt tried, and since it seems to be continually passed over for the Crystal Palaces character jamboree, we figured it might not be hard to get in. The hostess seemed annoyed at our request but put our names down for later.
Off we went to explore some more.
I love all the waterways the MK has!
Gratuitous Castle Shot
Oh hey, theyre doing another fireworks show has it been 10 minutes already?!
This place looked interesting, but when we tried to investigate near a Cast Member entrance, a manager-type popped out and started asking what we were doing there!
This is the only photo were allowed to show you...
Fine! Well just take a picture of this instead!
We also wandered around Pinocchio Village Haus checking out the decor.
DH was cracked on the idea of riding Goofys Barnstormer because everyone says its more than just a kiddie coaster, but it had a 30-minute wait so we decided to do it after lunch.
Then it was back to Main Street, U.S.A.!
Ooooh! Pretty chocolate-filled colors....!
The band, giving us the cold shoulder
Finally it was time to eat, so we ambled back to the Plaza Restaurant, checked in, and waited. And waited. And waited. I think Le Cellier is the only place weve ever waited longer to eat so much for my passed over for Crystal Palace theory.
When they finally let us in, we were seated right by the door, which meant that we were blasted with an icy gust every time someone entered or exited the restaurant. However, besides that and the slightly frenetic atmosphere as people were constantly shuffled in and out, we had an surprisingly pleasant experience.
For one thing, the food was really tasty - our burgers and fries were just as good as those at Beaches & Cream. My shake wasnt as good, but it was the perfect accompaniment to a burger. Plus, the meal was relatively inexpensive for once.
Hot chocolate
Chocolate milkshake made with chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup (an important distinction!)
Bacon cheeseburger and fries
Burger and the entire contents of the Main Street fruit cart

About halfway through our meal, some of the Main Street characters the mayor and the suffragette tumbled into the restaurant and gave us a little streetmosphere. DH was enraptured by the antics of the puffed-up mayor as he made the rounds and got in digs at the suffragette. They asked if anyone was celebrating a birthday and I hollered No, but were celebrating our anniversary! This wasnt good enough for the mayor, and he swaggered past us to go see some kid with a birthday. But the suffragette seemed to break character briefly as she passed and congratulated us on our accomplishment.
On their way out, they offered to take a pic with us.
So, um, does this mean Ive unintentionally participated in character dining? Oh, the ignominy!
After lunch we went back to Toontown (Fair?) and found there was still a 30-minute wait for Goofys Barnstormer. Doh! It turned to be the longest wait we had the whole trip (yes, we are spoiled off-season attendees) the line just crawled. I entertained the people around us by occasionally blurting out things like 30 minutes?! I might be dead by then! and This ride had better be the best 45 seconds of my LIFE!
Finally, we got to the front of the line and, dweebs that we are, asked to wait for the front of the coaster (I wanted to do everything I could to ensure we had the optimal ride on the vaunted Barnstormer). We squeezed into the same car together, our knees up under our chins, and off we went. The time it takes you to read this sentence is how long the ride lasts.
Wheeeeeoh, thats it?
When our car pulled back into the station 45 seconds later, they had to use Goofys Jaws o Life to get us out.

We wandered around Toontown a little more taking pictures.
Bird nest!
Next stop, Frontierland!
At some point, according to my journal, we rode the Haunted Mansion twice. Lets pretend it was now!
While we were poking around the totally random gift shop near the Haunted Mansion (you know, the one thats themed all Liberty Square-y but contains nothing but the same generic junk you find at World of Disney), I got a call from future Disney bride Jenna. She and her DF were at WDW for their planning session! Thus began our lengthy game of phone and text tag as we tried to figure out a way to meet up without them needing to activate their park admission.
In the meantime, DH and I went for our now traditional last MK ride of the trip, Splash Mountain. (Yes, we had one more day, but our passes werent hoppers so we were stuck at Epcot tomorrow). It was still freezing cold out, but we thought the idea of doing a bone-soaking water ride was so crazy, it just might work!
Suited up!
Fortunately we made it through the whole ride without any of the other guests leaping out of their logs, so we got to exit the normal way.
We took the train back to Main Street to prolong the magic.
Dear Jenna, whr R u? Im on d tren!
Worlds Most Photogenic Ride
When we got to Main Street Station, we rushed right down the steps to take this photo!
Why, DH? ...Why?
I think at this point we were just making up photo excuses so we wouldnt have to leave

Finally, we left.
If it werent for the lens flare, this picture would be cracking you up right now!
Jenna and her DF were just about to leave WDW, but they agreed to stay a few extra minutes to meet us at Downtown Disney. So we whizzed over there in our trusty Clementine.
It was so cold that Downtown Disneys plants needed blankies!
We found Jenna and Emmanuel kickin it with a pirate in front of World of Disney.
If we have to wait for this Lurkyloo much longer, were gonna end up like that guy!
We didnt have too long to chat, but at least I got to hear some of the juicy details of their site visit (they chose the Attic for their reception hooray!) and take a picture.
Gigantor strikes again!!!
DH kept himself occupied...
After we bid them farewell, we poked around Downtown Disney a bit. I bought two more chocolate-covered Oreos at Goofys Candy Co. (chocolate cream and peanut butter cream how could I forget to take pictures?!), and we discovered the color-flashing bouncy eyeball at World o Disney. And then it was back to BCV to get ready for dinner!
OK, this part is boring even ME! Id better take a break before I describe the next part of the day....
Up next: Dinner with the Roots, IllumiNations (yes, again!), and the Very Sad Tale of the Loneliest Sand Ceremony...

Involuntary Character Dining....oh that just has SO many possibilities.
Loved the updates and the photos. Even with the lens flare I was cracking up.

Um... Is there more info you can slip us?
I am way behind, so there may a bunch of posts from me, since I'm not good at the multi-quote thingamabob. I'll try to keep it to a minimum.
