So after you told me about the massage deal you found on Groupon (or living social - I couldn't remember, so I signed up for both
), I still haven't seen one!
I'm actually shocked that you didn't get the big Uh Oa! Were the other drinks pretty strong? They look delicious regardless! Now that really sucks. I thought they served dessert there.
I liked your photo on FB about getting stuck on RSR. Glad they let you go through again
It was TravelZoo. I will post here when they have another, they seem to have them twice a year, because I buy them every time. Last summer I remember it expired August twenty something because it was the day before Ellen arrived at the VGC.
We might have got it if we had a table, but sitting at the bar, it's hard for Fran to share a drink. Plus it's just really big and I think she was after the souvenir mugs for the Tiki bar at the new house.
It seems to be the policy. If you get stuck they let you go again. They did that the last time in September when we got stuck too.
I am amazed by RSR! The details! I don't know if it's because you got stuck but it seems a wonderful long ride as well. How great you got to do it twice! Nice to see your friends and cool re cruising on The Dream
It's a pretty long ride in comparison to others, getting stuck makes it even longer!
I'm looking forward to that trip mostly because I am thinking about planning for it a lot right now. All my other trips are pretty much planned out as far as they can be so I have to look into the future. I feel like Johnny Carson's character whose name escapes me, but you probably don't know him as he had an American TV late night show.
Thank you so much for your posts
I'll be @ DLR in May - staying at Grand Californian
I've made a list of "to-dos" - starting with Trader Sams... Then a visit to cars land.... Then....
When are you there? Maybe I could come out and say "hi!". I'm always looking for excuses!
I am not sure I have seen the lace in paint for texture, but it sounds doable, we always stuck with an orange peel effects in the old enamel paint... Now the clear coat is something different.
Glad you had a great time!
Fran has promised to save the shows where they use lace and show it to me to prove that they do it. I don't pay that close attention to her car shows, but I do watch some of them, it's kind of cool to see what some of them do to these cars.
I am glad you said about the lace I was very puzzled! Thought the imagineers might be having a little naughty fun....
That's what I was thinking too!
The crescent rolls look good, I will have a half. LOL
Ewww about the tub.
The food looks so good especially the root beer items. Yum.
Congrats on the booking on the Dream.
Trader Sams looked good.
Love the pics of Carsland. I have to get out there and see it some time.
Looks like it was a great getaway so far.
You definitely need to get out to Carsland, it's really cool. Trader Sam's is a lot of fun as well. It was a great getaway until we erased all the relaxing with the parks!
Your trip looks like it was very relaxing. Thats how our Feb trip was although we are just doing a dining report for that trip as we really didn't do much more than drink, eat, relax and go for the parks for like 3 hours each day.
I did start my pre-trip for my 2 May Trips. I'll probably start the one for the Fall Trips later this weekend as that will be more of a training log.

Cool, thanks for the link. I'm just signing on over there!
Woot woot! I'm late to the party but how wonderful for you!
So happy for you!
Your time at the GCV looks perfect and what a nice break from life. Dinner looks delicious.
I love Fran and her eBay.
Shes always scheming.
I like the view of your room. Next time I'm not going to be so fixated in a theme park view. The pool is relaxing to look at and it closes by 10:00 so no noise.
Really this time we didn't care. Actually most times we don't. We are usually planned to be out of the room during WoC either at Dinner or something else, so I've stopped making requests. For my 50th, I'm starting to settle in on a plan. I'm not sure who will be coming, but I'm just going to get my parents a studio so that they don't take up one of the bedrooms in the Villa. But I digress here is not the place to get into plans that are over a years and cough cough away!
I have to figure out if any DIS friends might actually come to my celebration, you are one of the most likely candidates as you live almost the closest. I think only Leshaface and the Sacto contingent are closer! But I need to work it out since the reservation window opens in 4 months! Only
DVC members can understand that urgency!
I think I'm finally caught up! Love reading about DL any chance I can get. I really think the Grand Californian looks like an amazing place to stay--I'm jealous you're able to take advantage of it!
Radiator Springs Racers looks so cool. I love the labels on the drawers!
Very cool that you happened to be stopped there so you could see all of the little jokes the Imagineers put in there.
I'm amazed that you found time to make it over here and catch up! I hope that everything is good on the home front and Julie is now relaxing comfortably with the sleepless nights that you both are probably experiencing.
The GCH is an amazing hotel, I really feel like it's home since we are able to get there very often and the staff are so wonderful and welcoming. We never get to DL enough, it's so close, but real life always gets in the way, I'm so glad that we bought DVC there otherwise we might not experience the magic nearly as much. Even for this trip, as we loaded the car, Fran was grumbling about how we needed to stay home more, get things accomplished, not be "taking off all the time". And still once we checked into the hotel, she was thrilled to sleep and relax in those comfy beds and hardly get out of them most of the time we were there.
. Its really fun to sit around and watch the room in action while enjoying some cocktails!
Im glad you made it over here. Im sure there will be some shopping going on in here!
