Too bad Dh and I didn't run into you; we were there Jan 20-Feb 1 (except for a few
Disney cruise days)!
Oh my gosh - I can't believe we didn't cross paths! Then again, Toni was there for almost our entire trip, and somehow we never saw her either, despite my best attempts at stalking....
to quote Bill Cosby "The child wanted chocolate cake for breakfast! How ridiculous! .. and someone in my brain looked under chocolate cake and saw the ingredients: eggs! Eggs are in chocolate cake! And milk! Oh goody! And wheat! That's nutrition! "
I love it! And I love Bill Cosby - I should see if Netflix has any of his stand-up on DVD.
Best Bill Cosby skit EVAH! My dad would try to use that reasoning all the time with my Mom..and us kids? Well we certainly wern't going to say anything to interfere with our elders...

Smart cookies!
Sounds like a great day! That ham and Cheese looked tasty besides the burnt edges!

And even those woulda been OK if theys been slathered in cheese sauce....
yay! more lurkyloo-ness! I am happy that you got cute pictures in one of my favorite rides (mexico) since it features the love of my life, Donald Duck!
Aw... Donald is the best! I love his bad attitude.
Waaaaay back in '97, before I had gray hair, I spent 10 days in Paris, and ate a ham & cheese sammich every single one of those days (I took German in high school, it was the only think I could recognize on a menu!) and none of them looked as good as the one you had! They were all cold, on a baguette, and had cold butter slathered on them.
Me too! I went to Paris in high school on a cut-rate package tour, and all they fed us for lunch was ham sandwiches with cold butter on baguettes so hard, one kid actually chipped a tooth!
Yay! More delish foodie photos...we ate at "Chefs" during out jaunt to WDW for a pals wedding ;-)
It was a chilly night so most of us ordered soup. It was so good! I have dreamt of that soup (mine was something with butternut squash). Yummy. That desert looks good enough to lick the plate when finished. Did you? Lick the plate, I mean. I might have, if it had been sitting in front of me.
I miss epcot.

There, there. You guys should go back! Work that Silver Pass!
I want to eat at Chefs de France now.
And I will have what you had, that looks so yummy!
Me too... I want to eat at Chefs de France as well now.

You can bring our pictures and wave them under the waiter's nose and point.
We tried Chefs de France last time we were there for Free Dining. I really didn't expect to love it, but that day the food was delicious! The floor and ceiling there are just stunning!
Yes! I didn't even notice the floor til I saw our pictures, and it is cool!
We had a 7:20 reservation on our honeymoon in September. We were wondering why it was taking so long to get our meal (we had been traveling since four that morning)... they dragged it out so we could see Illuminations. It was fantastic. So just do what lurkyloo did... time your reservation sometime between 7:50 and 8:45. They actually let you leave your table in the restaurant to watch and then let you come back in and finish your meal, if you're still eating.
Well that's good to know! Considering we were supposed to be having a private dinner on the patio next to R&C, I kinda wish we'd just booked a regular reservation and saved a buck, but they felt so bad about having to move us into the restaurant cuz of the cold that everyone made a huge deal over us.
Catching up...
Boo on the realization that DVC just isn't right for you! But...it's like that for us too.
And no more peanut butter chocolate cake at Sunshine Seasons??

Dang it i wanted to try that in December!!

I'm so sorry to have gotten everyone's hopes up on this dang peanut butter chocolate cake! Maybe if we all write letters, they'll bring it back.
I found this great smilie!!! hahaha
Perfect for what I keep doing to your TR!

Keep that one handy, Betsy - I have a feeling you're gonna need it often....
I love how you capture all the details in EPCOT. I don't think I've ever really spent that much time in Canada.
I wish there were more to do there. I guess there used to be more shops up top in the Chateau de Frontenac building - I dunno why they closed them.
Wait, I thought the password was 123456789???
Oh my gosh - you're right! I coulda been in the lounge the whole time! Stoopid! Stoopid! Stoopid!
I always find this to be an interesting phenomenon. I used to work at a fine dining restaurant (that also owned a jazz club next door) and they would only give me lunch shifts in the restaurant. I had to cocktail in the evening at the club. I'm pretty sure there was only ever one female that served in the restaurant for dinner...and I won't get into how she got her foot in that door.
It was explained to me that men are preferred as wait staff for fine dining because they don't get "emotional". Fine dining is all about the "pomp" and it's believed that a woman wouldn't stay calm, cool, and collected if something went wrong. I was also told that men are more "distinguished" and therefore more suited to the "ceremony". Sheesh.

Wait - that's TOTALLY sexual discrimination! They could totally get sued for that! And that's why I wonder about Chefs de France - surely Disney wouldn't court a discrimination charge that way.... Maybe your waitress is their escape clause.
Oh forgot about those chocolate peanutbutter squares!!

(THis was the closest smiley to writing down ideas.) Must remember those!

Nice smiley!
