i'm waiting to hear if you got your wish!
me too!
.Still here (after a couple week hiatus). Congrats on your precious new niece. What a blessing! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Yey for slowing down a bit and taking a few days off.
I'm glad dragging my feet isn't keeping everyone away!
I'm still here...following along. Kind of glad you're a little behind, as I have been super busy too and now I'm playing catch up. I haven't even been over to my own TR in at least a week. There's probably tumbleweeds rolling through there!
Oh Butterbeer, I so miss you too!!!!!
My WWOHP reminder every day- my chocolate frog keychain that smells like chocolate. I'm sure people often wonder why I walk around with a keychain stuck to my nose. But it smells SOOOOOOOOOOO good.
Funny about your mom- sounds EXACTLY like something my mother would do!
I can not wait till the new section of HP opens up. The area is so fun & magical.
Nice update Hope............I like candy floss
"little bit" geeky??? Right.
Love the update! Hogsmeade just looks amazing. I must go there to visit one day! I am such a huge Harry Potter fan. I really want to see all those things you snapped photos of...Hagrid's Hut, the Weasley's car, ALL of it. Butterbeer sounds pretty amazing too. I hope to try it one day!
October/November/December so far have been a blur, with work, volunteer stuff at my son's middle school (dance, movie nights, week long bookfair, teacher appreciation brunch), my son's theater performance in Myth Adventures. He was Theseus who slays the minotaur, strands his girlfriends and causes the death of his father. I am the treasurer, prop master and in charge of concessions for the theatre group. That, plus some other life stuff has kept me away from here and my Disney trip report for way too long. I think my Universal one died from neglect a couple of months ago.
Your schedule sounds as hectic (or even more so than mine!
I totally get that!
That being said, I caught up on some of your report.
Those are really cute pictures of Kya with Lucy and Marilyn. I'm glad she had really great character interactions.
I have never seen or read about the Men in Black characters. HOW COOL WAS THAT?!? Especially with all of the Dr. Who stuff.
I hadn't heard much about them either. Perhaps because they are wandering and not in a specific place. At any rate, they were GREAT!
We can take or leave T-2 too. This was the first attraction we did on our first visit to US a couple of years ago, but we haven't been back.
Never done Beetlejuice. My boys are not very cooperative about show. Is that one going to be going away sometime soon?
I haven't heard that but who knows. It's a pretty old movie though a cult classic so the show is still pretty popular.
The theming in Springfield is just amazing. I really like the picture of the kids peeking through the door. I can see eating there "just because"
Haven't seen Cinematic Spectacular either. The only thing worse for the boys than a show is a show at night, when we are all exhausted.
Yep, I kind of wish we had just stuck around to redo our faves, eat dinner and then leave instead of taking a break so we could come back for this show. Just not our thing.
I'll catch up on the rest of your report in just a minute. Have to go rescue a Christmas ornament from the cat.
Congratulations to your family on the arrival of precious Hazel. I'm sending positive energy for continued strength and improvement in her health.
Thank you! She's doing really well and growing stronger every day!
Great pictures in Toon Lagoon. I love that your kids are "into" it. Mine went through a non-participation phase and are just now starting to come around to cooperation.
My kids are mostly "into it" because I slacked off SO MUCH with the pics and most (not all, but most) of these are their idea. If I actually asked them to pose they balked.
I haven't seen the "Mushroom Pizza" thought bubble before.
Your son comment that Pteranadon Flyers is not "commit a felony fun" was hilarious!!!
Yep, it was almost my TR title.
Bilge Rat Barges is SO fun. And WET! We usually ride twice in a row- they have let us stay on the same raft if it is not too crowded.
I think the kids would have gone again if I'd been up for it.
What a great idea to share a snack at 3 Broomsticks. I looked, but didn't see the house elf or owl shadows. OR the dessert tray. YUM!
That is a really great shot of you all in front of Hogwarts in the DC queue. That queue has some really neat stuff. Did you get inside to see the dragon eggs and Goblet of Fire?
No, we missed that! We weren't actually riding and cut out early but now I have something to look for next time!
Your holograph pictures in the FJ queue came out great. I don't have a great shot of the Fat Lady.
I was very careful with our dining plan. I can see how easy it would be to have issues. We had a horrible mess up at Cinnabon when we tried to use our last snack and drink credit. We backed up the whole line for quite a long time!
Hopefully once the kinks get worked out there will no more issues.
We LOVE Confisco Grille.........always go at least twice...usually more.
The burgers are really good as is the Pad Thai..........but we have never had anything less than perfect from there...........food and service
Boo..Hiss... It can't be go home time already, can it? You just got there!!!!
I also love that shop in the Suess area- it's so fun!
