SWEET SIXTEEN :Have they been kissed? PTR: Updated 8/15

[englishrose47]

I probably started in 2006 when I took my DS to the same conference I attend now every October. Before then I would go every 3 or 4 years.

Then it was every year from '06-'08. Now it is any excuse I can get but i have scaled back some. I am finally starting to relax there so I enjoy it sooo much more.

I know my way around, I am comfortable wherever I go, alone or with people, and i discover new things every time I go.

I agree everytime I go I find new stuff to do/see!! Short of going like 6 times a year I figure I will never see it all!!!

Our Second Family vacation was in September 2009 and this time we were joined by Judy's friend Sandy !!
Here is Sandy and kids at Epcot

.. sooo Judy must have been the photographer !!

Ooh and me too

A Day at Judy's favorite Park:

This day we ate at

Kyle loves this restaurant .. I am quite sure it is the Car Tables !!!As for me it is the Oreo cookie milkshakes and the yummy cheesecake , which I was the only one who ordered but 3 kids kept sampling it So I know they can order their own next time !! We have been to Sci Fi both times and Planet Hollywood !!
Next up an MK day !!!

 

[englishrose47]

A little tutorial about our 2 trips !!
Judy fell in lovewith DHS the first trip she loved all the Hollywood buildings and as usual snapped hundreds of pix I am pretty sure we have a 1000 of LMA!!!!
The first year Samantha was the only one who loved Rnr and ToT Judy went on and HATED both!!! Steph was a BIG Chicken just like Grandma , but this trip BOTH girls rode them both often. While they did that somehow I got Kyle and I took him for his first ride on The Great Movie Ride , now I enjoy this too but NOT like Kyle I rode that thing 5 times with him!!!The others caught up with us and they rode too !!

LMA was a huge hit with Kyle , for me its okay but I can pass , but not Kyle , He would watch that all day long

This trip was the first time for them on TSM and EVERYONE loved this one

Another first for them was Backlot Tours .. this is the one that Judy would like to spend a Day in the Props room She is just fascinated by the stuff !! I also conveniently sat her on the "water side" of the ride and my grin when that water poured down earned me a tongue wagging !!

We still did not make Fantasmic as Kyle had just plain had it for the day and the others were tired so we headedback to Pop and the kids relaxed in the pool !!!

GOALS at DHS this year are
RnR
ToT
TSM
Backlot Tours
LMA
Indiana Jones
and a new one for them Disney Animation
They have seen the 2 drawings I did and as they know to well my lack of drawing skills , they are most impressed and all want to give it a try . so Judy se there is always something new to try at DHS too!
As we will prolly only have 1 day in each park that will be quite a lot to pack in!!
Also my plan is to get the Mama Melrose Fantasmic Package sooo you all need to start thinking positive thoughts that I can snag one !!!

As I said next real update with pix will be MK !

That would definately be the girls reaction Dan !!!Mmmm I'm tempted !!!!
Tell everyone how the Shepherd's pie was tonight !!!!!

It was very good! It's got me thinking about trying it out in WDW... The Rose and Crown (Is that your resturant Rose?) has a Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie (Creamy Mushroom vegetable ragout topped with mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese served with mixed greens and roasted portobello Mushrooms)
and Raglan Road has Keen Eye For The Shepherd's Pie (We give the traditional Shepherd's Pie (prime beef and lamb) a much-needed makeover with our contemporary twist to this favorite dish) I'm very curious what the "contempory twist" is? Anyone know? Raglan is for sure one of the resturants I want to make it to next time weather I get the shepards pie or not...

I've never tried the shepherd'd pie at Disney but I LOVE Raglan Road , I have had The stuffed pork, the It's not bleedin' chowder and the Mighty Grill !!The later has Black pudding which I love but many are scared off by this !! The steak also looks delicious !!As for the dessrts they are mouthwatringly good , they do change them from time to time but any I have tried have been wonderful.
Rose and Crown of course named after me along with some drink somewhere in Epcot that is called Englishrose !!!I had the pork dish there and it was spectacular as was the lemon pie !!

Ok. I found you!! Now I am going back to read....

 

[disneyfan61]

OK all caught up. I hope you get to see Fantasmic!! It is great! We have seen it a few times. It is not a must do as I hate all the crowds & getting on the buses when it is over but it is really good.

We have never tried Planet Hollywood. We really should sometime.

The girls are lucky they get to celebrate their Sweet 16 Disney style

A f the talk on Shepherd's Pie has me wanting some. I've never been to Raglan Road but did eat at Rose and Crown this past May. I loved it.

Your DHS day does have a lot. My DGS loves LMA and I am sure the little guy will too. I've never tried Disney Animation because I can't even draw a stick figure. I will have to try it this trip.

 

[disneyfan61]

My kind of folks!!!!

I'm with you Christine

That's me !! Stick figures at best !!I will have to lok for the Mickey I drew that sooooo impressed the family. Steph is the artist of the bunch so I would imagine she will do very well !! When I went on my Free trip we took all 8 of them in and my Jiggly man watched intently and everytime the animator drew another line he scribbled 10 !!I was helpless laughing , his whole paper was full by the end

I'm with you Christine

Now Doreen I have seen some fancy smancy dishes on your reports !!But my guys want the sauce on the side why I don't know cuz they don't touch it !!!

 

[englishrose47]

Here is my Mickey!!!!!!!!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Okay, all those foods sound scarey! Maybe I'll just have the chicken if I go to R&C. So cool you have a restaurant and a drink named after you, Rosie! I knew we were in the presence of royalty!

P.S. I see you made Mickey behave!
