Two Castles and a Polynesian Dream (A Wedding & a Disneymoon) Update*Mr & Mrs*

[jenneth79]

5 1/2 more days of work?!?! That's amazing!

And congrats on the Mickey Mail, it's really happening now!

I'm looking forward to hearing about the cupcake mission. My mission will probably be avoiding them on our trip.

My plan is to snack more as we don't do much of it since we do DXDP. I still need to try the mickey ice cream bar believe it or not

I am excited as I just purchased a new lens for my camera, a camera bag, camera sling strap, tripod & shutter release remote! I am a complete amateur so I don't have much clue about what im doing, but I have been reading threads and studying their tips etc so im hoping for at least 1 great fireworks shot and 1 great night time shot in the parks

Now that you mention it, I guess I do have to try one of these Dole Whips everyone keeps talking about...

Awesome on the camera! What lens did you get? We're currently fighting at home if we take the D70 or the D300.... to be honest, I'm a little scared to take either one!

The tripod will make all the difference for the FW shots... that and shutter speed. Most DSLRs recently have settings specifically for it!

Have you looked for the "cheat sheets"? They are laminated cards that basically cover all you need to know for your camera in a handy little travel card.

Yay on getting Mickey Mail and only having 5 1/2 working days to go!

[Stefy]

Not long now! Good for Dave to point out to you the month off !!

Yay thanks for dancing, I think I do a little dancing too

Mickey Mail!!

And I like the 5 & 1/2 days more of work and then free for a month...and what an exciting month it will be, Stefy!!!

Thanks, we are so excited, getting so antsy to get out there already and I love the emotes so so cool

Oh you must try a dole whip, they are delish.

You must show him where to get the cheat sheets as they will be oh so helpful

Yay on getting Mickey Mail and only having 5 1/2 working days to go!

Thanks Hope you enjoy the long weekend, so glad we have one

Hey Guys

How are we all doing?

I have been meaning to post this for a while.

Think we have a few Dis Meets this year, which is very cool as we have never had one before and for our first time we are going whole hog meeting nearly everyone!

My favour I ask of you is, if we are meeting could you please email or message me what we have decided, when and where etc. My memory is like a sieve these days as I just don't have room for anything else

Also please don't take offense as to if I have forgotten, I haven't just need a little prod/jog of what's been planned

Stefy

I got a Tamron 18-200mm and then a load of numbers and stuff that I don't remember lol. I need to test the tripod later as it's very light which is good for carrying, but not if it wont take the weight.

If you know where i can get those cheat sheets, please let me know as that would be amazing to have!

 

[Deemarch]

Can't wait for the rest!!

Hi Guys

How are we all doing this weekend?

Am thinking of all my Dis Friends that are/may be affected by Irene. I hope you are all staying safe. Sending lots of love and good thoughts your way


So! Are you ready for an Epic Cupcake Mission? Is that a yes? Ok then, here we go

The past few months I have been researching all the different types of cupcakes that Disney have to offer and let me tell you, there are tons! From Peanut Butter Fingers to Marble Cupcakes. So I have set myself the challenge to try out the best of the best. The creme de la creme of all these cupcakes. I'm guessing you want to know what are these cupcakes and what do they look like? Well ladies and gents, without further ado I present to you :-

Mission Cupcake 2011
We'll start off with Epcot as there only appears to be the one must try cupcake and that is

Karamell Cupcake from Karamell Cuche in Norway

This baby looks like it is going to be a mission on its own with that much icing, but I will have my trusty sidekick Davo with me, so we should make quick succession with this one

Contempo Cafe is up next...

Blackforest Cupcake.

I have seen the pics of this cut open and my god it looks awesome! Ooey gooey cherry goodness and chocolate is what you get with this one.

Then we have...

Strawberry Cupcake also from the Contempo Cafe. Nice and simple, but with that sweet delicious strawberry centre.

Dulce de Leche, another Contemp Cafe baby. With a vanilla and caramel frosting and that ooey gooey caramel centre. This is sure to send you into a sugar coma

Next up with Boardwalk Bakery, they have some choice selections which give you calories just looking at them!

Oreo Bon Bon Cupcake. So cute and so tasty, that is all.

Strawberry Shortcake Cupcake - So colourful, so cute, so yummy.

Peanut Butter Cupcake. Another monster with a monster filling.

Animal Kingdom is our next stop, with cupcakes that look like works of art, too good to eat. But that won't stop us

White Chocolate Elephant Cupcake from Kusafiri Coffee Shop. Chocolate cake goodness with vanilla frosting, topped with toasted coconut and a humungous look white chocolate elephant. God knows how we'll get that one back to the room

Zebra Cupcake also from Kusafiri Coffee Shop. Not as grand as the White Chocolate Elephant, but still a sight for the eyes.

Last up is Starring Rolls Cafe who offer the most deadliest and delicious cupcakes. This will be the most dangerous part of the mission, as you will see from our surveillance photos.

Butterfinger Cupcake. Chocolate cake and chocolate centre with vanilla sky high frosting. Not sure what the sprinkles are.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcake. Chocolate peanut butter frosting, chocolate cake and chocolate filling. Chocolate overload!

Marble Cupcake. Marbled vanilla and chocolate cake, topped with swirls of vanilla frosting. Covered in chocolate and Mickey sprinkles.

Now we won't necessarily be carrying this mission out in the order above. Am working on that at the moment. But for the most part we will be purchasing and taking back to the room, rather than attempting to eat there and then (that's just crazy!).

So what do you think? Will come back alive?

 

[TanzUnited99]

OMG!! Major drooling going on here!!

You should def have posted a warning before sharing those pics - luckily I have just made a trip to Krispy Kremes to get over the shock of seeing your pics!

The Karamelle Kuche cupcake is on my list as is the strawberry one from Contempo Cafe, the zebra one from AK and the butterfinger one from DHS. Look forward to hearing how you guys felt after completing the mission!

 

[Tracy161]

A cupcake mission?! Now that's my type of mission!!! My mouth is watering just looking at those pictures!!!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Oh. My. Lord.

How on earth are you going to eat all of those cupcakes!?! They look so delicious! Especially the Dolce de Leche one! And you know I have my eye on the butterfinger on from Starring Roles. I'm pretty sure the "sprinkles" are crushed up butterfinger - hence the name! That's what it looks like to me anyway.....

Oh I can't WAIT to read about this when you get back!

 

[KatMark]

Oh my....those cupcakes look absolutely spectacular. I am drooling over them.

We are meeting for a drink on Friday, September 23, at 4:30 p.m. at the Tambu Lounge (4 p.m. won't work for us; but we can definitely be there by 4:30 and our dinner isn't until 6:30, so we'll have plenty of time before we have to drive to DTD).

Lol, sorry We will be trying to acquire these over the space of a few days and won't be eating them straightaway. My plan is to accumulate lots and snack on them when we are chilling in the room

Hee hee, they are yummy looking aren't they

Well we won't be getting one each, will most prob share (as Dave isn't that big on cake can you believe).

I figured it might be something like that on the Butterfinger, but then I have never seen/heard of them so...

Lol, they look sinfully wonderful thats for sure

Thanks for that. Sending you a PM

wow loved all the pictures of the cupcakes Stefy!
I always see delicious looking things like this on the Disney food blog site, and hope to try them - but when we're actually at WDW I rarely feel hungry enough between meals to eat any (I didn't even manage a Mickey bar on our honeymoon!) - getting them to take back to your room to eat sounds like a plan - looking forward to reading about them!

Hope you're having a great bank holiday weekend and that the wedding countdown is going ok!

Thanks Looking forward to trying some of them soon

Bank Holiday is going great, loving the extra day off from work, sorely needed. Hope you are enjoying yours too

WHAT?! You've never seen or heard of a butterfinger? You are missing OUT! Next time I send you something, I"m throwing a butterfinger or two in there because you HAVE to have one! So delicious! One of my favorite candy bars. I always get the butterfinger blizzard at dairy queen, which is vanilla ice cream with butterfinger. YUM!!
