The $6,688.00 Disney World Trip - It's a wrap 6/30, Has it really been a year? 3/2 Link to new TR 4/18

Yikes! I have very vivid dreams, I've even had some nightmares where I realize I'm in a nightmare and manage to wake myself up out of it..then I don''t want to fall back asleep toooo quickly as I don't want to go back into the crazy dream!

I had another weird one last night, and I didn't want to go back to it AT ALL.

A bit annoying for sure, now you know I guess?

Whenever it is that we get back to flying, I'll make sure that they book the third seat on a separate reservation.

Hello there you little cuties!

They're so tiny! Now they're so big!

I'm always a bit weary of ordering steak fajitas/tacos as it can be soo tough..

Perhaps that's the case up north. I've found them to be pretty good in the border states.

Love it when I see a bag!

It does make my blood pressure go down when I know our bags have made it.

They look like they were handled nicely too!

Not sure if I can tell that, but it could be.

I like the picture behind this balancing act too!

I know! Cute that she posed in front of that one.

When you are doing Orlando, it's pretty much always LAX hey?

It's pretty much always LAX. We flew out of SNA once round trip to Chicago. We were stuck on the Tarmac in Chicago for like 3-4 hours. We took off so late that SNA closed for landings, so the plane had to divert to LAX, and passengers were bussed back to SNA. We had someone pick us up and we went back to retrieve our car using our second car. Ever since that happened we don't want to get stuck like that again, so we pretty much always fly out of LAX.

Mmm that looks good! Doesn't help I'm almost done work and hungry!

That was just an image I found online, but it sure does look good!

Oh they put you in with a scooter mostly solo hey?

It's one scooter per skyliner, so if you have a party of five and one scooter, you can all ride in one car, but if you have two scooters, each scooter has to go in it's own car.

I got distracted in this picture..so much that it distracted me from margs and Mexican food!

I noticed that Rachel Maddow was on the TV, but I didn't notice the headline on the bottom of the screen until you pointed it out! :laughing:

I will have to find some more to read I think

Well, I've got at least half a dozen bonus features. I know that @missjackiemcg is planning on doing a TR from her most recent trip this past week.

I actually laughed outloud here! Good thing I'm still working from home!!

A lot of people really thought this picture was funny!
 
Alison, you’re a hot ticket, love the picture of Fran cutting onions for your chowda!

That seemed to be a popular one!

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your travels, I’m going to miss reading of your adventures....until the next time!❤

Well, I still have half a dozen "Bonus Features" left to draw from dating from before Thanksgiving to the weekend before the shutdown.
 
Well... progress?

Even more now.

Oh! I hadn't heard of that. I seldom take pills of that kind. I have to be feeling pretty bad to do so. (Obviously you were, so makes sense.)

I used to take more of them.

:hug:
Hope it heals completely, quickly.

I still have a dull ache in that area and occasionally still need to take some ibuprofen.

I did!
Um... well... I had the opposite experience you had.
I figured out that it probably wasn't a broken molar so much as a filling broke, and it turns out that was the case. I went in and he poked at it a bit and said "Does that hurt?" I hadn't felt a thing. So he went and gave me another filling without having to freeze it. It was a breeze and felt great immediately. He even said "That must've been the easiest filling you've ever gotten."
And he was right!

Glad it was that easy.

I'm not an "eat and purge" kinda guy. ;)

Neither am I

Nope. They'd already own that, so no extra cost there.
Unless it's a small company that rents them.

There are a lot of places in Southern California that make their living by renting out expensive equipment to small budget productions. No one can own everything you need.

Okay, that part I figured.
I just wanted to know what you meant by saying you couldn't do it. Because it was physically impossible or legally impossible.

Kinda a little of both.

I'm gonna need a map for this. :laughing:

The yellow line directly from Point A to point B is the 405. The blue is the route that I described as the alternative to the direct route.



That does seem logical. Unfortunately, peppers don't agree with me, so while I like the taste, I avoid them.

That's too bad. I rather like them.

You're right. I usually do chicken fajitas myself. Never done sausage though. Do you skin and break them up or slice them?

I don't do sausage fajitas. The sausages are for an Italian dish which you use the red and green peppers. They're chopped up and cooked with sausage, canned tomatoes, and spices, then served over penne. I would have sent you a link to the recipe on my website, but I'm currently chatting with a tech who is looking into why the site is currently down.

I don't count that part. I consider it as part of the flight. Plane's moving, plainly.
I start my countdown when I walk out the door. So not even after we've parked and the door's open.

I go from touchdown. Since I can turn my phone back on, that's when I resume "real life" in actuality.

::yes:: Had to do that when I was in the wheelchair.

It's a pain. Huh?

:scared: That's long!!!

You have to go all the way around the horseshoe picking up passengers, then drive to the new lot (which is much farther away than the other one was), find your car, pay, and then drive back.

That it wasn't an upgrade, really and the comparison to the GF.

Well some people might have thought it was an upgrade. Certainly costs more overall, but I had my heart set on SSR, live and learn.

Ah okay. Someday I'll see what it's all about.


Someday.

And now our nations have agreed to close the borders for another month.

That's me!
(the not savvy part. Not planning on buying.)

Well, if you did I would certainly give you advice.

That's one real tired kitten.

I've never seen a cat sleep like that, and I've seen a lot of cats sleep.
 
What a way to go!!! :) LOL this is a great picture!

A lot of people got a kick out of this one!

I appreciate your honest reflections on the upgrade you received. Definitely interesting to get a different resort than you booked, but it can come at a cost for sure!

It definitely changed the vacation, but that's OK, adds a little spice to things.

I'm interested to hear the Disneyland bonus features!!!

I'll have to try and include pictures beyond the average ones that I took that day. Maybe to give a little more overall ambience and such. Im so focused on just what I do, eat and such and forget to just snap away.

Disneyland is still on my "someday" list for now, but is definitely a place I am drawn to visit, even more than other Disney parks internationally. I feel the need to walk where Walt walked and see where the vision began!

I totally agree that real Disney fans should come to "land" in addition to "world". Many things have changed, but a lot has also stayed the same.
 


I used to take more of them.
Oh?
I still have a dull ache in that area and occasionally still need to take some ibuprofen.
Long time to be in pain!
Glad it was that easy.
Me too!

I can see that.
But I also see Disney owning... well... everything!

And.... I'm at work so I can't see a thing! I'll look later. :)

Ohhhh… Sounds good... and not so good for my tummy. Did you get the site back up and running?
It's a pain. Huh?
Yes.
"First on! Woot! (later) "Whadya mean I'm gonna be last off???"
And now our nations have agreed to close the borders for another month.
Yup. And would be surprised if they don't extend it again.
Well, if you did I would certainly give you advice.
I know you would! :goodvibes
I've never seen a cat sleep like that, and I've seen a lot of cats sleep.
I bet you have!
 
I've not heard of this!

It's a DVC thing. Free admission to the park, free dinner, free Mickey Bars, and reduced capacity. We did this on our last night on the March trip at DHS.

I wonder if he'll get one moving forward...?

I'm pretty sure the answer is no.


Thanks!

I'm in the Satuli camp, but depending on my mood, I could easily see picking Flame Tree too.

There's just nothing there that appeals to me. I'm not a rice bowl kind of person, and I'd like the salad option even less.

I'm not sure I've ever done that!!! Need to fix that! I guess cuz the park always closes so early.

I definitely had not done it before. We normally go to the park in the morning and leave before midday.

Did that come with a side of insulin?! :scared1:

Actually the side of insulin was on her nightstand. She shoots herself with Lantus every night. She's also been known to eat an entire can of frosting in one sitting. She was ready for this challenge.

I've never once been through that queue. :( would love to someday!

I was glad to be able to experience it, at least for once.

D'oh!!! ::headache:

And now I wonder if I'll get to try it every. :sad2:

Great photo of her!

:thumbsup2 Thanks!

UGH! Not again!

It's unfortunate, but destined to happen. People who don't understand how to deal with people, and who can't control their speech, suffer the consequences. Because she never had to work in the "real world" she never developed those skills. As a result, winning popularity contests is out of the question. Life is hard.

:lmao: I didn't even see it!

I didn't until I went back to find the original source material!

:scared1: That is CRAZY!!! Holy cow!

I know! Where did that one come from?

Fair assessment. And excellent question!

:confused3

Yeah, I just had this rant on my TR a while back. Disney's new "dumb down the resorts" campaign.

Sad. :sad2:

I think we'll be starting to see some trickle back to life, but.... could take a bit.

Yeah, Like sometime in 2021.....
 


It was a great TR, thanks for taking us with you!

You're welcome!

Hopefully it's only upwards from here and we're back making Disney memories again!!

I think we have a lot of dark times ahead before we get to go back upwards. Unfortunately. :sad2:

I hope you both keep well and I look forward to seeing your next adventures!

Well we don't have many next adventures, but I've got a few more memories to share, and hopefully we will have some new adventures as things open up. Very slowly here since we are still on an uptick and still rising here.
 
Wow. That sounds pretty disturbing.

I don't know where my dreams come from, but I don't remember anything quite as strange as this recently, though I have had some weird dreams.

That poor guy! What did he do to tick them off?

I'm not sure, but it's the second Disney resort we've stayed at that only has one bellman.

That sounds like a real pain!

Yeah, when we ever fly again, I'm going to make sure that the third seat is booked on a separate reservation.

Hey, I was there once! I remember that.

One of the few!

That sounds like an ordeal, too.

Yeah, it kind of is, but we are resolved to it if we want to travel.

The overall impression I get from your comments is that they were trying to make it seem like a true deluxe hotel but do it on the cheap.

That's kind of it. I didn't see anything that really brought it up to the level of AKL, VGF, Poly, or even BLT.

I have a feeling I'd enjoy the skyliner, but you would think a deluxe resort would have more options.

I can see that with the CBR or the Value resort on the Skyliner to discontinue bus service, but I think they should keep it up at least every half an hour for Riviera. It is a deluxe after all.

It's almost like they're trying to make it as miserable as possible.

They're just trying to discourage the resale market, which I understand, but they are also devaluing the points which are really high priced at this time.

I got that sense, too. The theming looks bland to me. I don't see anything that pops as special or different than "nice hotel".

The only one I saw was that rug in front of the elevators.

The art on the walls looks cool!

Thanks! I love seeing that every day!
 

I used to take quite a bit, so much so that my arms started to bruise easily and the skin would rip when I would brush up against something even as soft as a recliner. For a while it looked like Fran was beating me. I finally stopped taking it, switched to a natural pain killer and started taking collagen, but I've since recovered.

Long time to be in pain!

And it's still there.....

I can see that.
But I also see Disney owning... well... everything!

Actually Disney contracts out a lot of their work, saves them money by not having to own everything.

And.... I'm at work so I can't see a thing! I'll look later. :)

So did'ja?

Ohhhh… Sounds good... and not so good for my tummy. Did you get the site back up and running?

Nope, not yet.

Yes.
"First on! Woot! (later) "Whadya mean I'm gonna be last off???"

Exactly.

Yup. And would be surprised if they don't extend it again.

Until there is a giant change in our country, we won't see any improvement of this virus.
 
Festival of Holidays


With all this quarantine and lack of Disney, I need some reminders of my happy place. I wasn't sure if I was going to finish these updates, but after finishing the current TR, I realized how much joy it brings me to post these updates, so I decided to go ahead and continue.


If you remember, in the bonus features for my last TR, we had just spent a nice extended weekend in November at the Grand with friends from the DIS. From the moment we got home, we spent the next week cleaning our house. I'm not talking about just mopping the floors, and cleaning the toilets. I’m talking serious moving of boxes to offsite locations, opening months worth of packages clogging up the foyer, and then cleaning and vacuuming the vacated spaces, as well as cleaning the bathrooms. We also had to dig out the dining room table because we would be eating all our home cooked meals with my parents there.


Funny how when my parents visit, we take more pictures of the food than we do of ourselves!









But I get ahead of myself. My parents would be arriving on the Monday before Thanksgiving. So after six days of grueling cleaning and moving boxes, preparing their room for habitation and not just stacking baskets full of clean laundry on the bed, we hopped in the car and drove to Palm Springs. Of course we did!

Even though my parents would be arriving the next day, Fran had purchased tickets to see our favorite YouTube Star Randy Rainbow. The show was at 5PM, so we grabbed a late lunch at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants and headed on over to the show.

This was our first time seeing him in person and he was just as fabulous as his videos.





He bases a lot of his songs on Disney music.



In one of his routines he threw paper towels into the audience and I got away with one of the signed rolls.



After the show, even though it was only 8PM, we were so tired from all the cleaning, that we went right to our hotel room and went to sleep. The next morning we were up bright and early. We had breakfast at our favorite deli in the Desert and hit the road home, before 9AM. We beat my parents to our house by many hours and when they finally arrived, we enjoyed a nice dinner and discussed our plans for the following day.


Now we knew that my parents wanted to check out Oga’s Cantina and I had made a reservation for us weeks in advance when they opened them up. What we didn’t know was how we would spend our day before our reservation at 5PM.


Over dinner that first night, we decided that we would check out the Festival of the Holidays for our lunch before heading to our reservation at Oga’s Cantina. So we headed out to the park around 11AM. I don’t know what exactly happened, but Fran ended up ditching us and going off shopping. So for most of the first part of the day, it was just my parents and me enjoying the various treats.


We started off with the Twist on Tradition Booth. I stole the booth pictures from the Internet since I forgot to take any.





They had a Reimagined Beef Wellington. This was definitely the best thing we ate at the Festival. They had another option which was out of stock at the time, but we got one later. We also got their Vanilla Pear Mule, which was also quite tasty.



Next we went to Winter Sliderland.





We got their Fried Turkey Slider on an Herb Roll with Cranberry Slaw and the Beef Pot Roast on a Potato Roll with Horseradish Cream.



I think that my mom opted out of the Turkey slider, not sure if it was the turkey or the fried part, so we saved a portion for Fran. It was OK. But I did really like the Pot Roast, I always seem to like this version of the sandwich, I think it’s the combo of the pot roast and the horseradish cream. Can’t go wrong with that.



As we walked past the Twist on Tradition booth, they were restocked on the Reuben Potato Tots with Russian Dressing and Rye Toast, so we got an order of that. I thought this was pretty tasty. I think everyone else did too cause we finished it all off.



By now Fran caught up with us. The Haunted Mansion store was having a blowout sale on Ghosts in a Jar, they were marked down like 50%. You never see merch at Disneyland marked down, they only do that at the outlets, so she had to buy a bunch of them. They’re sitting in a box in our dining room.

Anyways she ate her bite of Turkey slider and then it was time for dessert. Making Spirits Bright booth was nearby and that fit the bill perfectly.





Here we got the Carmelized Apple Cake with Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt Creme Anglaise and Salted Caramel Sauce. I think this was supposed to replace my coveted Sticky Toffee Pudding. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t nearly as good as it’s predecessor.



We got two and split this.



We also got two of these and split them. Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Macaron. Mom declined her portion as she has a problem with nuts and since it’s made with almond flour, she didn’t want to chance it.



We wrapped it up and put it in a basket of one of the scooters. We found it again in January. :laughing:

By now, it was getting close to our time for our Oga’s Cantina reservation (3PM), so we started to make the long trek back to SWGE. We walked my parents through the entrance near Critter Country. WE walked them through the Marketplace which was a little bit of a mistake. My Dad wanted to stop and look at things, but because they walk fairly slowly, we were already 10 minutes late for our reservation. However, we made it just fine and were seated at a booth.

I ordered my favorite, the Jedi Mind Trick.



Fran took our picture to document that we were there. She jumped the gun a little bit on this first picture.



OK. That’s better!



This is Mom’s drink, she got the Outer Rim.



The people on the other end of the table saw that Fran wasn’t in the picture and offered to take one of all of us.



After we finished our drinks, we didn’t see the need for a second one. Plus, we had a 5:30 reservation at Steakhouse 55 and with the speed that my parents walk, we were in danger of running very late. Fran let my father ride her scooter in hopes that he would move faster, but he went just as leisurely on the scooter as he did walking. Eventually she gave up and kicked me off my scooter, so she and my father rode the scooters while my Mom and I walked. We need to remember that they move slowly and either get us all scooters or not plan a lot of distance.



[Continued in Next Post]
 
[Continued from Previous Post]


Steakhouse 55 is an old school style Steakhouse in the Disneyland Hotel.



It’s got booths along the walls, dark lighting, and Black and White photos of Celebrities on the wall. Oh and there are plenty of pictures of Walt Disney himself.







I’m sorry about the blurriness of these pictures, but they give you an idea of the ambience.







According to my pictures the food service started at 6:01PM, so we must have made it in reasonable time. This is our Amuse Bouche, I don’t remember what was in it, but there must have been some sort of nut issue because my Mom declined this one as well.



Fran and I ordered the Onion Soup, but we told them that we wanted to split it. This portion was very tasty and just the right size.



While we were waiting for our food, we asked if Chef Marcel was in the house, but were told that he had been in for the breakfast shift and gone home.

Fran and I had ordered the bone in Rib Eye to split (my Dad got his own).



My Mom ordered Halibut and said that it was quite good.



For the table we had ordered Truffle Mac and Cheese.



And we also ordered some Asparagus with Hollandaise.



And then the plates kept coming….they said that courtesy of Marcel they were giving us some Black Truffle Fritters….



And flash fried spinach.



Here is my plate:



Boy does this make me miss dining out at Disney! Maybe by the time I post this we will be back! (Obviously I was being overly hopeful when I wrote that. :sad2: )

So the steak was awesome, as always. The asparagus was very good, nothing like hollandaise to make anything taste good. The spinach was OK. The consistency didn’t do a lot for me, it was strange to put a mass of spinach in your mouth and it would instantly reduce to almost nothing. I also realized this evening that I’m not a huge fan of the flavor of Truffles. They taste a little bit like what I imagine dirt would taste like, so I think I’ll be ordering potatoes instead of the Mac or the truffled fritters. No worries though, I did not go hungry.

I did save enough room for something that I had heard about a week or so before. If you remember way back when I shared a weekend that we spent with friends in a two bedroom lockoff just 10 days before this, Fran and I did a small amount of shopping before heading home again. While talking to the Cast Member he told me about a dessert that had just been added to the menu at S55. It was a Brown Butter Sugar Cookie, Bourbon Sabayon, Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream, Smoked Salt, Orange Tuile. Wow! This was Ah-mazing!



My Dad got the Sourdough Bread Pudding, Caramel Sauce, Sherry Macerated Cherries, Toffee Ice Cream. He was very happy with his choice as well.



We rolled out of there, pleasantly full, with a bag full of leftovers to enjoy for the next few days.

Holy crap! Alison!!!

Thank goodness!
And it's still there.....
:(

I know. I was kidding. :)
So did'ja?
::yes::
Long way around!
Nope, not yet.
Really! Long time to be down.
Until there is a giant change in our country, we won't see any improvement of this virus.
yeah... :(
 
How fun to see Randy Rainbow in person! I think that he is brilliant!

What a lovely day with your parents!
 
after finishing the current TR, I realized how much joy it brings me to post these updates, so I decided to go ahead and continue.
Lucky for us! :)

big job! Lots of work!
Funny how when my parents visit, we take more pictures of the food than we do of ourselves!
:laughing:
In that first photo, is that ribs or chicken?
we hopped in the car and drove to Palm Springs. Of course we did!
Of course you did! One place I'd like to see, actually.
Fran had purchased tickets to see our favorite YouTube Star Randy Rainbow.
I've never heard of him.
This was our first time seeing him in person and he was just as fabulous as his videos.
Glad you enjoyed the show. :)
In one of his routines he threw paper towels into the audience and I got away with one of the signed rolls.
Score!
Will you use it or put it in a place of honour?
Fran ended up ditching us and going off shopping.
When ya gotta shop, ya gotta shop.
They had a Reimagined Beef Wellington. This was definitely the best thing we ate at the Festival.
Very interesting presentation!
Next we went to Winter Sliderland.
Anything with "slider" in the title has my attention.
the Reuben Potato Tots with Russian Dressing and Rye Toast,
That sounds good.
They’re sitting in a box in our dining room.
Waiting for ebay?
Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Macaron.
Sounds yummy!
We wrapped it up and put it in a basket of one of the scooters. We found it again in January. :laughing:
:lmao:
Guess I won't ask how it was!
The people on the other end of the table saw that Fran wasn’t in the picture and offered to take one of all of us.
Nice of them. And glad you could all get in the shot. :)
Fran let my father ride her scooter in hopes that he would move faster, but he went just as leisurely on the scooter as he did walking.
:sad2:
Steakhouse 55 is an old school style Steakhouse in the Disneyland Hotel.
I love that. Need to go there too!
Fran and I ordered the Onion Soup
Ohhhhh… that looks so good! How was it in comparison to others you've had?
Fran and I had ordered the bone in Rib Eye to split (my Dad got his own).
I'm drooling!
For the table we had ordered Truffle Mac and Cheese.
was going to ask, but...
And we also ordered some Asparagus with Hollandaise.
Charred I see. I always steam mine, but maybe should do that.
they said that courtesy of Marcel they were giving us some Black Truffle Fritters….
But... he wasn't there? :confused3
And flash fried spinach.
Nope. Pass.
Boy does this make me miss dining out at Disney! Maybe by the time I post this we will be back! (Obviously I was being overly hopeful when I wrote that. :sad2: )
:rolleyes1
nothing like hollandaise to make anything taste good.
::yes::
I also realized this evening that I’m not a huge fan of the flavor of Truffles. They taste a little bit like what I imagine dirt would taste like, so I think I’ll be ordering potatoes instead of the Mac or the truffled fritters.
Okay, that answers my question. I'm not sure if I've had more than just a tiny bit of truffle. I think I might try it, but... will temper my expectations.
It was a Brown Butter Sugar Cookie, Bourbon Sabayon, Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream, Smoked Salt, Orange Tuile. Wow! This was Ah-mazing!
Wow, that sounds good...
My Dad got the Sourdough Bread Pudding, Caramel Sauce, Sherry Macerated Cherries, Toffee Ice Cream. He was very happy with his choice as well.
...as does that. I'd be hard pressed not to order both!
 
Yumm, I shouldn't have read that update while hungry!!! Everything sounds so delicious, and Steakhouse 55 looks like a wonderful ambiance! I love the pictures of Walt you shared :)
 
Those desserts look divine! I’m with you..I recently decided that truffle really isn’t my thing!
 
I realized how much joy it brings me to post these updates, so I decided to go ahead and continue.

They bring Disney joy to us too, thank you :)

MMM this looks soon good! Is that chili by the ribs?

In one of his routines he threw paper towels into the audience and I got away with one of the signed rolls.


I saw this and was like ahhhh...too fun!


Reimagined Beef Wellington.

Yummy! We meant to try this, but never did

MMM mickey shaped food! :drooling:


I think I would polish off both of these too

We wrapped it up and put it in a basket of one of the scooters. We found it again in January. :laughing:

Been there done that..nothing like finding leftovers months later..

he Jedi Mind Trick.


Yum! this is a good one!

OK. That’s better!


Nice pic, your dad looks so content!

got the Outer Rim.


I know we got this one, but I don't remember the orange stuff on top, but maybe D had drank that part..

We need to remember that they move slowly and either get us all scooters or not plan a lot of distance.

That's a long haul, especially coming from DCA already


Steakhouse 55 is an old school style Steakhouse in the Disneyland Hotel.


It looks like a very classy, debonair sort of place.

Oh and there are plenty of pictures of Walt Disney himself.


D and I both love old Walt pics :) you got some nice pics of the pics


This portion was very tasty and just the right size.


That looks spot on, especially the cheesy top bit!



I could go for that steak right now and it's not even 9 am...

Halibut and said that it was quite good.


And this- I love halibut too

black Truffle Fritters….


They look pretty tasty, I do like things in a doughnut form tho.

I also realized this evening that I’m not a huge fan of the flavor of Truffles. They taste a little bit like what I imagine dirt would taste like, so I think I’ll be ordering potatoes instead of the Mac or the truffled fritters.

This is how I feel about mangos/most mango flavoured stuff..taste like what I imagine dirt to taste like...

It was a Brown Butter Sugar Cookie, Bourbon Sabayon, Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream, Smoked Salt, Orange Tuile. Wow! This was Ah-mazing!
:lovestruc
MMmm MMmm MMmm! that sounds great- the bourbon, the vanilla and salt- sounds devine!!
 
With all this quarantine and lack of Disney, I need some reminders of my happy place.

Sounds legit to me.

Even though my parents would be arriving the next day, Fran had purchased tickets to see our favorite YouTube Star Randy Rainbow.

No idea who that is. I know you're shocked.

I don’t know what exactly happened, but Fran ended up ditching us and going off shopping.

Should I be shocked by this?

We wrapped it up and put it in a basket of one of the scooters. We found it again in January.

:rotfl: :rotfl2:

Fran let my father ride her scooter in hopes that he would move faster, but he went just as leisurely on the scooter as he did walking.

:sad2:

Steakhouse 55 is an old school style Steakhouse in the Disneyland Hotel.

Mmmm...steak.

And flash fried spinach.

Gee...thanks, Marcel. Don't do me any more favors, ok?

Boy does this make me miss dining out at Disney! Maybe by the time I post this we will be back!
