We heard this same storyteller. She was really interesting and I learned a lot about Kwanzaa.
That was a very nice birthday surprise. Was this your best birthday - ever - or at least one of your best birthdays? It seems like the party never ended. I can't wait to hear what happened to your birthday dessert.
Wow, that is some DIS royalty right there! Sounds like such an awesome time!
I agree that village seems like a stretch . Though I suppose "Santa's nearly empty quardened off area" doesn't really roll off the tongue.
The story tellers all sound quite neat!
What a fabulous DISmeet!! Looks like you guys had a great time at Tutto Gusto --- and I love the post-meal slushies!
Great DIS meet again. I'm sure the school bread would've been a better option in the container than chocolate
Love the candid photos too. Great WS cast member shoot except for the guy in the pic
It sounds like a wonderful time with great friends! I love how the DIS brings together so many people.
The picture of you drinking the slushie while everyone else is posing it up for the camera made me laugh!
Hey there Rob! Glad to be getting caught up.
I can now say that I'm in the strawberry shortcake fan club! I finally saw for myself what the commotion is all about with that lovely dessert - or rather breakfast as I called it one morning. Ohhhhh sooo good!
Glad you were able to "pose" with Anna and Elsa! Well done! All that and no wait.
So.... you heard slushies in France and were there post haste! Too bad the stand wasn't open yet. Bummer. Our pub crawl day was such fun. I'm so glad you joined! And even better that those nice Italian gals recognized a DisneyKid4Life birthday! Sorry I couldn't sing along in Italian.
Your updates bring back some great memories.
Awwww, what a great Dis meet! I am so happy (and quite a bit envious... ) that you were able to pack in so much time with so many other awesome people on the boards. For that reason (among many others, haha) I really want to get back in September... As rumor has it SO many people will be there again! just not yet sure when the next time I can swing a trip will be... But it must be sooner than later, that much I do know!!!
I love the storytellers in Epcot! I especially enjoyed the Kwanzaa storyteller!
What a nice DISmeet! I have always wanted to check out Tutto Gusto!
I love your shirt!
I can't wait to have a slushie soon!!!!!!!!!!
Great update! Can't wait to find out where you ate!
What a neat DIS meet and recognize some familiar faces!
The party just don't stop for your birthday, huh?
I have never tried one of the slushies but everyone raves about them on the DIS so maybe I should change that.
Great pics!
What a wonderful afternoon! So great that you all got to spend time together at Tutto Gusto and what a lovely birthday surprise! Mmmm you have me thinking about GM slushies now
Sounds like such a nice DISmeet! How fun for you all.
AWESOME meet!!!
I know from personal experience that food to go is not always a great idea at Disney. The leftover fried chicken I took from Prime Time Café, and the waitress warned me I wouldn't eat, and I insisted I would, did indeed get "binned"
Glad you got your slushie, and another group shot.
What a great update!! How wonderful to get to see all those people and have some free birthday dessert too!! Looks like a wonderful time!! I really do have to get in on some of these dining meet up things! It sounds awesome!!
Props to Em for staying back in the room doing homework!! Wow! Lol.
Yay for GM slushies!!
How awesome - a Rachel cameo!
Great update! What a fun DIS meet... With drinks! Hmmm, good thing for Brenda because I need to borrow a pic from our meet with her too. Lol so fun that y'all were all able to hang out a little bit. That birthday dessert looks delicious!
It was so great Lauren, and something very unique for me, making it even better. I really am in awe about all the amazing people I've met and the many I hope to meet someday... like maybe September...
Oh my GOD me too. When I saw that photo I busted. But I'd waited far too long by that point to wait any longer.
Definitely let me know if you'll be going down there in September! We're there 9/13-9/20... FREE DINING! aka all of the character meals we can possibly eat!
What a fun day! I can only imagine how great it would be to be seated with a table full of Disney lovers And on your birthday no less! Looks like you had a wonderful time
Your snacks from the cruise make it look like it was Halloween instead of Christmas.
I'm glad you included Sea World in your TR. I've never been there. We've never left Disney property anytime we've been to Florida. It looks like you had a great day.
Another fun DIS meet! And a great birthday treat at the end! Very thoughtful.
Sounds like the dessert may not have fared well in your carry out container but it looks to be in good shape in that group photo you took on the way out of Italy!
Tutto Gusto looks lovely, and that birthday truffle looks delicious!
SO MANY DISMEETS! That's awesome. I'm hoping to have a DISmeet or two in July, fingers crossed it works out!
Bahaha love that second photo. July is my first trip where I'll be of legal drinking age (in America anyway) so I'm excited to try the Grey Goose slushie!
So your mega Dismeet, story tellers, Epcot, slushies, Italian birthday songs and a birthday truffle combined make about the best day ever already! Sounds really awesome, and I love all the pictures of all you Disers together, especially with your drinks!! Such a fun time!
