I missed commenting on this post, so I'm catching it now.
While I'd love to see it, half a year is a bit much.
I love the classic HM too much.
Well, maybe it's not quite half the year but it starts in September and goes all the way until January. It goes down in August and comes back around late January/early February, so yeah, half the year.
Good to know! I'm hoping to get to see it this trip.
I would expect you should see it!
Of course it was cool. It's Frozen.
Ugh. I hate when that happens. Done it myself a few times. You'd think we'd learn, but nooooooooo.
I think that's what starvation can do for you.
I didn't know they made them to order!
When they are standard in the drinks, they keep a drawer full of them for backup, but these are both drinks that used to be made tableside, and they would bring the machine and beverages to your table and do the whole presentation for you. I would always order one of these for my guests so that they could see the process.
Headed to bed (very early morning for work) but just really quick... no, I mean real life scene from downtown Hemet growing up. It was a lot like that with the palm tree lined "Florida Ave.", our lit up marquee on the theater, etc... I really miss what SoCal used to be. <sigh>
I didn't move to So Cal until '83, but I remember NorCal before it turned into Silicon Valley. There were actually orchards and stuff!
Makes sense. Plus they know it's coming. Same with Toronto and a few other venues. Some... not so much.
It is the #1 money maker for the city (hotel taxes, other taxes and fees to use the Rainbow Lagoon area). But you know what the #2 money maker for the city? Gay Pride Festival!
You're probably not as bad as my Dad! So no worries!
It's not me who is purchasing stuff.
Ruby has a rule. If we haven't used something in er... uh... I think it's 5? 2? years... whatever, if it ain't used, it goes.
I've considered that, especially with my clothing. Remember the dress I wore for Formal night on the cruise? I had it on our
Disney Cruise in 2001 and it wasn't even new then!
Not bad! Good luck with that!
I need to get on the weight loss thing, too. Just sooo busy and burned out, my motivation is pretty much rock bottom.
I can understand that. I just keep remembering that hunger is my friend, and as soon as I start to feel full, I stop eating. Seems to be working so far.
Check out day is a sad day, but the fact that you are right back in another room makes it so much better. Glad you looked at the phone while you still had access to the luggage.
It postpones the disappointment a little bit.
I can't remember the last time I was on the people mover or the carousel of progress, must have been around the 1990's.
I had never been on the Carousel of Progress without Fran, but then I had only gone to WDW once before I met her. I have no idea when we went on the peoplemover last. I know we did it in 1997 because the lights were on in SM. I think it was down for refurb or something.
I see there were not that many on the people mover?
Plus it took Fran a little bit to get in the car. The parties who were ahead of us were 2-3 cars ahead of us and you couldn't see them.
What makes it a Gold Medallion home?
All electric, no gas. Radiant ceiling heat. When we were fumigated a few years ago, the pesticide company had a real problem that the gas company wouldn't confirm that our gas was turned off. Since we didn't have an account with them, there was no way they would talk to us or them! It took me an hour of back and forth calls to convince them, THERE IS NO GAS LINE TO THE PROPERTY!!!!!!!
I know I have not been on this since 1990... It either looks different or I just don't remember it at all.
It's not a big draw for folks unless they are a true Walt and History fan. Besides the song gets stuck in your head, FOREVER!
Great advice for us, pace yourself and give yourself time. I think the last time we were so hot and thirsty, we drank our drinks so fast, and felt a little too happy when we left.
Love your drink glass collection!
We stayed long enough that we were pretty happy when we left. Fran got the two biggest drinks, recommended for two people.
this looks like fun, how was it?
It was interesting, twirling fire. I've seen folks in front of marching bands do similar as well.
Whoa. Were you going through withdrawal?
Completely!
I can see where that would be tiresome. Especially if it's more than seasonal now.
Well since it covers both Halloween and Christmas it literally takes the original attraction out for six months of the year.
I can't wait to experience the new version...someday.
I hope you get another trip there soon, but since I'm slightly aware of your Summer vacation plans for the next couple years, I know you don't have it in the plans.
Cool! I'm glad that if they had to replace Aladdin, they at least did it with a quality show.
It is a good show. Just not as funny as the Genie. I can't wait to see it on the Fantasy this Winter!
I don't blame him! The sphere is way cool!
It totally is! And the drink tastes much better with it!
It was very fun!
Loved your quick day to Disneyland! I'm looking forward to seeing the new Frozen show when I'm there in Nov.!
Well, now that you mentioned it.... I will be there Nov. 26 - 28th
Jenny and her family will be there in that time frame as well. I'm sure we can work something out.
I'm coming by myself because I'm tagging along (again!) on someone else's trip. I'm meeting one of my Disboard 2-D friends, Kylie71 and her sister for the first time. I, like you and other people on here, have met a few people from Disboards and they all have turned out to be extremely
nice, normal people who love Disney!!
I don't know Kylie71, but I'm sure you'll have a blast!
