Just started following along (and getting caught up) and am also following Marie's TR for your unexpected weekend away! It's always exciting to "meet" other Canadian (and honorary Canadian) Disney people on here. I grew up in New Brunswick, so I have a lot of French-Canadian friends, but our french is a bit different (worse?? haha) than Quebec french. There was a point in my life I was certified bilingual, but I find it's one of those you-don't-use-it-and-you-lose-it kinda things. Cool that you girls are in Montreal. My DF is an artist and travels a lot as a vendor at cons/shows/etc, and he was in Montreal not too long ago. Funny that they didn't even attempt your province at Liberty Tree...we just got "Canada" when we ate there, too. Once in a while people know where Montreal is, but usually we're out of luck living on the east coast. Typically when we go to the States it's rare for people to be familiar with any Canadian cities except Toronto and Vancouver... We had a guy on our last Disney trip when we said we lived a few hours above Maine ask if we were from Halifax, and we were sooo taken aback...like, actually, yeah! We are!
Sorry about your poor experience with photopass photographers treating straight couples differently! You'd like to think that you wouldn't come across that at Disney... :S You have to wonder if they discourage having their photographers do cute affectionate couples' shots with LGBTQ couples because they're worried about other hateful guests in line making a scene about it or something, or if they're worried about offending two straight people by assuming they're together, etc...but either way, it shouldn't matter, because it would be those hateful guests who should change their attitudes, and it shouldn't be offensive to the two straight people anyway, so I'm at a loss... haha. Anyway, not cool.
We're heading to WDW in August for our wedding this year. We're prepared for rain and thunderstorms, and crossing our fingers for no major hurricanes. I haven't been in summer since I was just a kid, and DF's never been in summer. Any tips for dealing with the heat?
Can't wait to read more!
