You light ‘em, they fight ‘em! A GCV/Disneyland Resort December 2014 PTR- we're out!

[rentayenta]

Too bad the current desserts dont even compare. One dessert is almost equivalent to the size of those buffet desserts and costs $10-12 when purchased a la carte.

Wow! So that plate I posted, if sold now, would cost about $30- $35? I'm guessing the macaroon and little brûlée would cost about $5 each. That's too bad.​

These are two of the desserts available in the lounge they run between $10-12. The Monkey Bread is about 2 1/2 inches tall and less than an inch in diameter. That ice cream with them is in a dish smaller than a soy/wasabi dipping plate.



This opera cake is less than an inch thick. You can see the length in comparison to the foot of the wine glass. It's really not for sharing. sad.

They look wonderful but not very big and too small to share. That ice cream looks literally like one bite. How did they taste? I'm such a simple dessert girl. Macaroons and cake are perfect for me. I do enjoy a bread pudding if its made just right. Do you know who has the best bread pudding ever? You may not breve me but Mimi's Cafe. They make it with fresh bread and the butter whiskey sauce is to die for. Mimi's is worth a trip just for the bread pudding.​

the macaroon would be over $10 if they even offered it, but nothing that decadent anymore. The ice cream was one bite and their was no way to share the desserts. So sad. Have you had Brennan's bread Pudding souffle? O.M.G. To die for!

Never had mimi's, will keep it on the list.

Just now waiting for PIO and fam to arrive. I couldn't hack ot with them for WoC. They should be here within the hour and we'll figure out the air bed.

Club 33 is really making some bad decisions. I can make a whole bundt pan of monkey bread for under $5! I'm really sad now that I never had the opportunity to experience the Club as it was originally.

Mimi's bread pudding is cheap too. If you go online and sign up for their emails, they'll send B1G1 free meals too. I get offers weekly.

RB's bread pudding is good? Might have to give that a go.

Looks like you all had a FUN day!

For whatever reason the dis has been giving me lots of trouble multi quoting with the iPad.

Two were middle aged and one was older. None were expected. Very very sad, the staff have been having a hard time

They're bringing the nurse with Ebola to Maryland, hopefully everybody does what they're supposed to. If it starts spreading people are going to freak out!


You're so right, after exercising I don't want to ruin my hard work with useless calories.

Pizza is high up there with fries for me too


A year you say? booking VGC will be VERY EXCITING!


Sweet teeth, now that is cute! What are their favorites? I love a homemade cinnamon roll, chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies, and lemon bars. Oh lemon bars!

I hate that! This week Photobucket is being downright impossible.​

I am so sorry friend, that's tough. Do they offer any sort of stress debriefing as you aren't used to that sort of trauma? ​

Going to freak out? People are going bananas here. I'm calling it Ebolapalooza. I know it can be deadly but we do not have a pandemic on our hands. The news is making me nuts with their politically based scare tactics.​

Whats been the hardest thing to give up/modify you think?​

We need to talk about healthy proteins. ​

Very exciting and very difficult to get I think. ​

My coworkers wife makes the most insane lemon bars. They love chocolate chip cookies! And brownies. Michael makes these browned butter cookies. The kids go nuts for them. They're all big ice cream lovers too.​

49 days? How exciting is that!!!!!!






My boss did bring in a grief counselor Friday for the staff. And a fourth patient passed a coworker has worked in this field for 25 years and has never seen this many pass in such a short time. Very very sad business

Just because I love talking about food doesn't mean I can't stay away from the bad stuff. I am on a roll and will not b deterred. One or two meals a week I do indulge but otherwise I'm on the ball.

You think t will be difficult to get into VGC? It's after school starts, I think we'll be fine.

People like to go overboard with worry when they don't know all the facts. And when the news hypes up things. Hopefully folks near you will calm down. It's ok here, so far. Doesn't keep them from talking about how inept they think the government is. I don't join in.

Browned butter cookies you say? YUM-MO! I have never tasted a better lemon bar than the ones my grandma used to make. Thankfully I got the recipe before she started deteriorating. Oh yes, icecream is always fabulous!

I am so glad they brought in a grief counselor. It's so important to offer that and to keep it as a standing offer as everyone grieves differently and at a different pace. ​

Keep your eye on the prize. A little indulgence now and then keeps me from totally going overboard with the junk.​

Its over a school holiday in Utah called UEA. Lots of Utahans travel to Disneyland during that time. I'll keep my fingers crossed. ​

I'm glad it's good there. I had to sit through another mandatory meeting. I am ALL about being smart but scare tactics drive me nuts.​

Oh girl they're insane. I'll bring some next year. Unless we see you before then. You make her lemon bars? We'll trade and share.​

Wow, the trip is getting close now! It will be here before you know!

Finally! I tend to countdown rather early.



49 days!!!

That picture is soooo pretty! 49 days!!!!

We must keep our fingers crossed. I am so excited to stay at VGC again


I do indeed make her lemon bars. A trade sounds like an excellent plan


They have a very nice service at my work available to all staff. 6 free sessions of counseling for any issue. And you can go in for several different issues a year. But each issue gets you six free sessions. This time she brought a counselor to the office which was nice. Usually you go to an outside counselor convenient to where you live.

I borrowed that photo from Google. It makes me so happy.

For sure! Studios are the MST difficult. Dedicated 2 bedrooms seem to go last. We might be okay. I can't wait for our upcoming stay. Our last few GCV have been one nighters so I am so excited for 6 glorious nights.

Lemon bars are one of the best desserts ever. We'll trade for sure.

That's a great EAP benefit! I'm happy to hear they are generous with the sessions. My work gives 6 total per year. Period.



I love this pic of the kids chewing down on Mickey Rice Krispie treats.

48 days!!!

I can't believe your cruise is so close. It's going to be so fun and over Halloween no less. Did you decide on costumes? I don't recall......​
