Ahhhh what a fun time at DHS! Man what I wouldn't give to be in the queue for RnR!
Me too! I could use an good adrenaline rush right about now to get me out of the winter funk. We had several nice weather days here and now its freezing again. Such a tease.
I would probably look like I'm in pain on the Tower of Terror, but I would be in actual pain from the heart attack I'd be taking.
I really do not love that ride.
See - that's my reaction. The ride scares me, so instead of actually looking scared I sort of look angry and stoic. Weird.
How scary about the mom and her young daughter. I hope everyone was ok...
I hope so too. I don't like to see or hear about anyone getting sick while in Disney. It just shouldn't happen.
What a fun update! ToT is in my top 5 favorite rides!! Your pictures made me feel like I was there...now I want to know what is in the Sunset Room too...
I am glad you had an "almost" virtual ToT experience through my pictures. I wish I was brave enough to take pictures on the ride, but clearly I am NOT!
I know there has to be something really cool in that sunset room, but what????
I often avoid desserts at WDW, not because I'm not dying to try one but because I am afraid of what you experienced! I like sweet, but not in the form of cream filling or frosting, and not TOO SWEET. I often drool over MeMom's pictures of the POP dessert case and tell myself I am going to try one...but then I chicken out and tell myself I won't. That tie-dye cake and that monster cupcake thing she showed from her last TR looked AMAZING! I plan to spend my calories elsewhere on my upcoming visit to WDW...like on a jalepeno margarita.
I have to agree with you on devoting your calories to the jalapeno rita. If I had to choose between dessert and an amazing rita, there would be no contest!
Unfortunately for me, I end eating the sweets and drinking the ritas and weighing 10lbs more when I get home.
Yay for moving to BWV! I can't wait to see your pictures from there, as I have yet to make it across the "pond..?" to check it out. I have visited BC and Stormalong Bay, but only got as far as taking pictures of it from afar!
The BW is a really cool resort. I have stayed at the BCV once and loved it. But I have to say that it just doesn't compare to the BWV for me. There is just something about the decorations and that whole Atlantic City / Coney Island vibe. I just love it!
Don't get me wrong, though, I love WL...and WCC...I drank about a gallon of water last time we ate there just because he brought it. I have a comical picture of my sister with about 10 straws in her hair. I don't think we have EVER made an ADR there though, we have always just walked in. I would assume, however, that during more high-demand times it would be more difficult to get in.
That sounds hysterical!
I hate there once and I didn't care for the food, so I haven't been back. I do think it would be a fun place to take my nephews and I would also love to have breakfast there.
Happy Wednesday!
Thanks. Happy thursday back at ya!
AWESOME photos of the Hollywood Tower Hotel!
Thanks! I can't resist taking pictures in there!
How awesome would it be to book a night there?! Hopefully my room would be on a floor easily accessible by the stairs, though.
Can you imagine staying there overnight. Yikes. The two places that would really freak me -if I got locked in and had to stay overnight - are HM and ToT. Especially that boiler room. I'd be dying.
Thanks for the welcome.
There's so many wonderful TRs here on the Dis, but I usually only have the time to keep track of a couple at a time. Yours caught my eye because of the time of the year you travelled and I'm so pleased I decided to hit the subscribe button - so enjoyable to read.
There are a number of wonderful TRs on the boards. I spend probably 98% on the TR boards. I have met a number of good friends this way and I learn the most by reading about other people's trips. I'm glad this TR is getting your psyched for your F&W trip! You are going to love it.
It's so wonderful that you enjoyed your visit to NZ. The people may have changed a little bit in the 20 years since you were here, but the scenery has pretty much remained the same - still beautiful.
The scenery was amazing. We stayed on the north island because our friend's sailboat was docked there. They were a couple years into their sail around the world. We did travel to the very top of the north island, which was spectacular. One hour we were in snow on the mountains and the next hour we were on the coast. At the time the people were wonderful. It really was a once in a lifetime trip. Amazing!
I saw some pics of the NZ F&W stall. I'm not entirely convinced the menu items and wine best represent NZ, however the marae (maori meeting house) shape of the stall itself is cute. Will have to take a pic to show friends at home. They'll be amused.
I guess its like any other stall - you have to take it for what's its worth. I think I had a glass of wine there, but no food. I was looking for some kiwi wine, but no such luck.
Lastly, I'm even more excited now about you BWV pics. We have a boardwalk view room (studio) booked and I'm guessing by your comment, so did you.
Actually we had a garden/pool view room. But honestly, I think it was better than a boardwalk view. I had to waitlist for the room, so I knew I would never get a boardwalk view during F&W. But I loved this room view and I'm sure I'll never end up with the same studio again.
