Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth for a few days. It's been a busy week. Claire is done with school though now...and she is thrilled.
That sounds like the kinds of seats I usually end up with.
I know...I wish we had known that when we were buying tickets....warning...you may not fit in this seat and if you do there is a chance you may fall to your death!
That was really nice of them to do.
She was so happy she got to see the show still after paying all that money.
That is a really weird layout.
I think these theatres were built so long ago and evidently people were skinny then? And dare devils?
We have it in London as well now and part of me really wants to go and see it, but again, I am getting a lot of mixed reviews.
I think because of the mixed reviews I had heard, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. We were so high up we could see some of the special effects on the stage and that was pretty neat too.
What a shame that you were not able to look at the floats close up.
I know!
I was bummed
I made it!
Woohoo! Of course I have been not here for days now.
Where do I start? Geez, that van did not look very comfortable! I would have done the same as you and take a flight!
I am sooooo glad I flew!
Umm, the Marriott Marquis is an expensive hotel and it has hard beds and doesn't refill your toilet paper??!!!
YES!! The price per night for that week is INSANE!!!!! And I know they were very busy and full...but come on...bring the toilet paper!
I would love to visit NYNY one day. I would have to do some type of movie tour because I am a huge movie buff and so many awesome movies have been filmed there! That would be so much fun! BUT, I don't think I would do well with the crowds
There are so many things to do there. I was tempted to take on of the bus tours on the last day that shows sites, etc...but I worried about getting back in time for my flight.
I laughed my butt off when you told the people you were next for the lamp photo!
I don't think this polite Canadian would do well in that situation...actually, knowing me, I would have just said forget the photo
Well I wanted a picture! hahahahaha
That's great that you got to see Brook and Nikki!
It was nice to see them both again...even though I had just spend 3 days with Brook the week before.
I miss that we won't be able to all go on a long cruise together again this summer.
I've had those seats a time or two
SCARY!!!!! I really don't see how they are up to code.
Really enjoying your trip report so far
40 blocks! Wow, good for you and no wonder you slept good.
Looking forward to the parade
Thanks!
Well at least we worked off some of that big dinner!
I enjoyed Aladdin but I didn't love it. The "Friend Like Me" scene was worth the price of the ticket though.
I think
Disneyland's version is my favorite, but I did enjoy this show. We were so high up we could see things on the stage....coming up from the floor....it was cool. They did have a couple of really good songs/dance segments. We also loved Prince Ali....which is my favorite Aladdin song!
40 blocks in the cold! You are brave! I would have called an Uber! Very cool seeing the balloons.
Yes, we should of...but not one complained and we just laughed at ourselves when we got back.
I just had to chime in...I am from NYC and our apartment is very close to where you guys were when you watched the Macy's parade floats. It's definitely a tradition for a lot of people to watch the floats before the parade
How neat to have an apartment there. My Uncle Geoff is actually looking at job opportunities in the area and he would get an apartment and come home on weekends....but not sure if it will work out or not.
Saks had a special Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs theme last fall/winter. There was a special brunch with characters in the store if you paid like 100 per person. I did not go, I would not pay that much, when I can get the same for less at Akershus, LOL. The store windows were wonderful though!
That is so neat....but yeah...thats a steep price!
I thought Aladdin was great too! I'm glad you guys were able to catch it.
Me too! Claire loves theatre and shows. She has since she was little and I used to try to take her to some highschool productions at least once or twice a year. We've been slacking the last few years.
Look like you guys were having a great time in NYC. I spend more time at our house in NJ now but I really do miss the city. Actually going to our apt tomorrow to experience city life again for the weekend!
It is such a fun place...but for us...we never could live there. We live on a dairy farm...so about the complete opposite. hahaha
