Before I comment on your comments, I have to let you know a development that I learned today. On our way home from my parents house, I commented about my last post and asked Fran if I had told her *all* about where we broke down in the ride. I told her about all the curious drawers and how I thought the one with Lace was really funny. She then informed me that lace is actually quite common place in paint shops as they use it for "texture" on certain kinds of paint jobs. Who woulda thunk?
What a shame that your little getaway was interrupted. Good on Fran that she took care of it. I could just eat some of those chocolate-covered strawberries. I am really hoping to have a light dinner at Trader Sam's in November. We have only ever been for drinks. Is the food nice?

That was nice of her to volunteer, but she also always feels guilty for us going away and I'm sure she took this as one of those times that she could "do something" and go back to the house and say "hello" to the felines, thinking that they would be happier knowing she popped in to say "hi" to them.
What a shame that this clever detail normally goes unseen. I would not have minded getting stuck there.

I think of all the places this probably had the most detail, although, I'm not sure about Luigi's there was probably a lot of stuff on that side as well. Not so much inside the dark parts of the ride and I'm certainly glad that we didn't get stuck out in the Sun! Even thought it's not as hot as it was when PIO and family and Brett got stuck, it wasn't cold outside!
How nice to see the friends you're heading to WDW with next year. They look like a heap of fun.
Pity about being stuck again; but that's a great place to be stuck in. So many details that never get noticed when you whip in and out of that room. Wish I could just take a slow walk through it.
Hope the 2.5 months goes quick.
Jim and Alberto are lots of fun! I enjoy spending time with them, I'm sure WDW will be a lot of fun having them along! Alberto is also quite the cook, so in addition to some fun restaurant meals, we might enjoy a spicy in-room meal or two as well!
It was a great room to be stuck in. If only they could have a passholder event where we get to walk through the attraction!
I thought for sure I had commented on the last update. Sounded like a wonderfully relaxing day. The GC is just gorgeous, love all the beautiful details.
Great place to stop mid ride, very fun to see all those details normally missed.
Every time I stay there I find new details, it's such a cool resort!
I will definitely think about stopping at Trader's Sam during my next upcoming trip to
Disneyland. I usually don't go in the DLH area during my trips but it will be nice to go there one day. Thanks for the tips.
Very interesting spot to break down when riding RSR. I still remember when you, Fran, PiO, her family and I were stuck in the tractor tipping area back in September. It was nice to see your pictures of where the ride broke down. I would easily go picture crazy just like PiO if we were stuck in that area.
Definitely check out Trader Sam's and you should get to the DLH occasionally, there are some really cool things there.
It was a cool spot to break down. I really wished I had my DSLR instead of my P&S at that time!
I can't believe you'll already be Gold status! It's hard to stop isn't it? Once you go on one, you just find yourself rebooking before you get off
