Nothing else to add! Can't wait for 2018!
Oh, and I loved the birthday update! LOVE to see all the photos - gets me so excited. 142 days and we will be back to WDW too!
Great birthday update. Nice to see they had so many options for you. Gluten free corn bread is great since white flour is not that important to a good one. I'm sure they put bacon in the beans or at least ham hocks.
So envious of your cruise with Karin and Tom. I'd love if we could join you but alas, still not able to plan trips. I'll have to suffice with working on yours for September!
Love the update. Starberry what a cute name for a horse. How funny lying on the floor full and content. How it warms my heart to know they are treated so nicely. Baths every day. Wonderful.
The restaurant looks fun. Nothing like a bit of slap stick! Not offensive or crude. The food looks good. I like corn bread we are corn bread shy in the UK. I am thrilled they did gluten free.
Shame Mum did not like her sauce. But salad looks good. As does Mom's dessert! Sorry your cookie was as dry as the ground the horses were rolling in...
Love the photos of you and Mom.
Great news on your Fantasy cruise with Karin and Tom. I am delighted for you. TA 2019 will be great. It's good to have things in the pipeline.
The HDDR is a fantastic place to celebrate a birthday!! And the food is delicious. I loved the fried chicken (I know, neither vegetarian nor gluten free, but really good). We visited FW a few times when we stayed at VWL in December and I really loved exploring there, such a peaceful atmosphere.
Great news on the cruise with Karin! And hopefully the 2019 will have better itineraries for you anyway! We are still undecided and might end up pushing our plans for a TA into 2019 as well. I feel like I need to do some travel that is not Disney in 2018, especially I want to visit the UK before it becomes a huge hassle for us Europeans to go there (if it does, but currently no one knows what the consequences of Brexit are going to be, but we now know that March 29, 2019 is the end date for EU membership of the UK).
I LOVE the horse pictures -- my favorite creature next to a dog!!! Do they just let you go there to see them, or do you have to book a riding session?
They do have riding lessens but you don't have to have one. The area with the smaller horses had hours, I think until 5pm, and you could walk around them. The big horses are in a barn and you can walk in and be right next to them. My hands just itch not being able to pet them and being so close. I highly recommend going over to FW and just enjoying.
So I am guessing they don't allow you to pet any of them? That would be a hard one!
I'm sitting here looking at all of your yummy food (french fries! salmon! ice cream!) while I eat my... breakfast oatmeal. lol!
Was your mom wearing a Stitch shirt to meet Stitch?? It's always fun to pull that off--I've only done it by accident
I love the fact that there are so many movies to see on board! Watching movies and lounging by the pool are basically my two favorite activities. DBF and I are looking at cruises and I sooo want to go on DCL. I can literally picture myself watching BATB while lounging by the pool with a margarita and french fries
Oh my re the pancake mix up at BBB! Glad the bucket of potatoes were ok.
How fun a Frozen themed day. Nice chocolate hunt game today!
What lovely photos of you, Mom and the blue alien.
Grumpy on a cruise how can this be?
Dinner looks good. Glad your table buddies were ok.
Fun party. Shame about Olaf.
Yeah Jungle book! What a strange towel animal! Cool though. Great update Pam.
They were fabulous but very small and thin, almost like a crepe. So for this morning I asked for several pancakes, looking forward to the same yummy pancakes. What was delivered was cardboard tasting giant things. And a monstrous portion like I requested…
Today was the special Frozen party and they had it Frozen themed all day.
After the movie we saw Stich was out at the Gazebo so hustled over and jumped in line
How can one be grumpy on a cruise???
The show of the evening was Jamie Michael Stewart, well known for singing The Love Boat. He was fantastic! There weren’t too many people there, it was almost like our own personal concert.
I was disappointed that Olaf wasn’t there, but I was told I missed seeing him out and about around the ship.
Are you anywhere close to finishing the moving out? We've got to get you planning again!
I'm so excited about September. The Alaska cruise I don't know what to expect so at the moment I'm more excited to show mom DL.
I know she's going to love it!!! You have a band event the week after we're there I think? Our dates are September 15-21.
because the pancakes were so terrible
There weren’t too many people there, it was almost like our own personal concert.
At 9:45 we headed up to the Freezing the Night Away Frozen themed party.
Back to the room at 12:46am and we fell asleep with Lilo and Stich on TV. I did NOT pre-order breakfast again.
For some reason I am not getting notifications for some threads including this one so I have only just found this.
Multi-quote is also not working properly for me for some reason. Your birthday treat looked amazing. How neat to get meet the horse from the headless horseman.
Congratulations on getting the next cruise booked.
What a disappointment. They sound horrible.
Oh, I would have loved this.
Yeah, Stitch.
How lovely that your mum was wearing her Stitch top.
You would be surprised. We have encountered more than our fair share of grumpy cruisers.
What a shame that not more people did attend.
I would have been disappointed, too.
Corinna
and it made it even more fun that I had seen him when we were at the party last year. or two years ago?
I have yet to meet Olaf in person, I must correct this one day.
So far behind on the DIS! I did an IRL update before the weekend, we are closer, but still not done.
I don't remember what you are doing for getting to the cruise line. Didn't you book an airbnb? The Alaskan Cruise is so great!
Our band event is over Labor Day weekend, we'll be back long before you arrive. I'll look at a calendar and send you an email.
That's a bummer!
You guys really relax and just take it easy. I'm usually booking us into brunch, drink tastings....
Then again we rarely make it to the shows....
That was a lot of beets and salmon there in your meal.
And we rarely make the dance parties....
And we can never stay up that late!
I hope if we ever cruise together we can find times of day when we're in sync! Although all those French Fries did look delicious!
