Your lunch looks great. Definitely big servings!
Canada is always the best place to start!
This doesn't even look yummy. Poor R, not what he was hoping for!
Now this looks great! I also have not met cheese that I didn't love!
Oh my! I would be in heaven over this. All my favourite flavours! I think I could eat cardboard if it had caramel sauce on it!
I have to say, despite a couple of missteps, I was really impressed with Festival of the Holidays since it's not one that gets much press. I am looking forward to returning! We weren't intending to do this festival as a meal so I think it was easier to take the few missed opportunities in stride. And in fairness we usually don't have as many desserts at the festivals as we did at this one, so maybe it was a reflection that desserts overall are easier to mess up? I don't know but I do know I can't wait until November to try again!!
Oh my gosh, Melinda! You don't know how long this thread has sat in my "Watched Threads" list. Probably almost as long as you've been writing it, and shortly after you started following my TRs and I noticed how many of the same Disfriends we have. I FINALLY got a chance to read it (as well as your Aulani report) and I'm so glad to be caught up now! Congrats on your marriage
I quoted a few stand-out things along the way as I read...
Yay! So glad you're here. You're practically a celebrity
so I am so glad you caught up. If you're anything like me, you have a ton of reports "watched" to binge on for later... I'm still working through some of my Disboards favorites' reports
But I am glad to have you at any stage in the party, AND you missed the huge wedding planning hiatus I took, hahaha
Um. Yes. All the yes. I wish I could have Boma breakfast every day. But if not, every trip will have to do.
I am so glad they are mostly great with your allergies, even if you have to check behind the chef on occasion
My sister has a lot of digestive issues that have been diagnosed in the last year so I love reading reports of how the allergy meals go for when she's able to join us again. Dang now I want Mickey waffles!
This is soo pretty! I've never watched Illuminations from Japan before.
It was a nice change of scenery! I loved this area, and the ability to get a neat photo with the torii gate.
Such a cute hidden touch! And this martini looks amazing.
It's so good! Dessert in a glass. And, I mean, anything with a hidden mickey obviously tastes better!
I've still never done this, but I really want to! Maybe next time...
Every trip I swear I'm going to slow down and spend more time on Main Street... little by little it's working, but never the way I imagine. It's hard to just people watch and chill for long periods of time if you're not a true local and the Peoplemover is calling!
This is soo cute!
Thank you! I can't wait to see more. Ahem... come on photographer! I'm sure you feel the pain of being freshly married awaiting all the photos!!
Amazing!
Again, congrats! Can't wait to see/hear more.
I can't wait to see more either! I have a whole reflection post on the wedding typed up but am making myself wait until I finish this report to post it since I don't have much more to go. And also hoping our photographers get our gallery completed and sent to us before then....
If you ever make it up to the real Canada on a beer run, make sure to look me up!
Oh no.. you've just planted a seed!!! I actually really want to get up to Canada but every time we're avaiable to travel and I've checked on airfare, the tickets are quite high. Darn academic schedules. We will get there for sure! I am a for real old lady, I think a lovely scenic trip to Maine and Canada would be a fantastic summer vacation. For some reason Disney keeps draining my bank account though
I know from personal experience that we're only about a 30 hour drive away from you guys.
OH GAWD I didn't realize it was that long of a trip. I mean, when I read that you and N made it in 3(?) days, I just thought about the fantastic diversions you must have seen (like South of the Border, obviously) and didn't actually think of the cold hard facts of how long a trip that is. Yikes! I hate car trips unless the beach or Disney are at the end of the journey so I don't know what I would do if I had to drive 30 hours. Now I'm going to have to go look up N's podcasts because they must be GREAT if they kept him entertained all that time!
SUCH a cool photo!
And this simple little cheese offering looks so delicious.
I love to get a decent photo every now and again, mostly I just capture my poorly cared for cuticles in bad lighting
That cheese was good! And honestly it was great to be able to get such a small portion, those $18 cheese plate appetizers at the Signature restaurants are often enough to spoil my appetite for dinner.
