Mom & Son Take on The Land (with Dad)! Food Pic Laden Report - Completed 8/16

From there we headed up to Critter County ... I hadn't had a Tigger Tail yet!

I liked the Tigger Tail ... but I LOVED these -:love:

Love that they were dipped in caramel before the chocolate & M&Ms.

I think we then went on Haunted Mansion and Pirates ... possibly twice before our lunch at Carnation Cafe. This was the longest we waited all week to be seated, at least 1/2 an hour.

We all had the Baked Potato Soup -

DH and DS both had the Café Steak Melt - Grilled beef slices, melted Pepper Jack cheese and caramelized onions on a Cheese Roll with choice of potato salad, Mixed greens salad or fresh fruit. $10.99

I had the Smoked Turkey Sandwich - Monterey Jack, Tomato, Lettuce, and Whole Grain Mustard Aioli on Pretzel Bread with choice of Potato Salad, Mixed Greens Salad or fresh Fruit.

Everything was very good.

After lunch, DH & DS headed off to Indy. I sat on Main Street for a bit

I know we re-rode some things before heading to California Adventure but my memory is fuzzy. We caught a little of the Mary Poppins/Bert show in front of the Castle (sorry no pics).

I know we went to the Drawn to the Magic Show ... this one was a little too corny even for me!

We spent more time in Animation. DS went on Grizzy a few more time. I feel bad but I just can't remember the details.

I know we picked up our WoC picnics in time to snack while watching the Pixar Play Parade go by -

These were Ok. Some things quite tasty, others 'eh. Not a meal though, but a nice snack. We ended up not using the WoC fastpasses. We must have spent the rest of the time in DL doing old favorites. I know DH & DS did Indy again, we did Pirates again. We decided that we were just going to grab pizza at Naples and take it back to the room so I could get packed up. Super Shuttle was picking us up at 5:15 for our flight so we definitely made it an earlier evening than we would have liked.

I thought the pizza was very good ... pricey but good. While I packed up DH & DS went back to Cali Adv so that DS's last ride could be Grizzly. He came back soaked!

Our last pic of the trip. probably should have been our first

All in all we LOVED our trip to DLR. Although for some reason, I didn't feel the crushing sadness that I usually feel when I leave Main Street in WDW for the last time. Even DS was surprised that I didn't cry when we were leaving and "saying good-bye" to the Castle. I was actually read to come home. I have never felt that way at WDW, even after 12 days. I am really not sure why the difference as I truly loved every minute of our trip. I guess I just felt that we did everything we wanted to do.

I do hope we get back some day. I think I will always be a WDW girl at heart but I definitely loved DLR as well!
 
I'm sorry it's over. I am glad we are fb friends so we can still visit.:flower3:
 


Bummer.....it's over!!

I am so glad I got to meet you in person & be a part of your trip to Disneyland. I know what you mean about not getting sad this time when leaving for the last time. I always get sad & longingly look back up Main Street....wanting to stay. I don't know if it was because I was overwhelmed with our big group & diversities, or there was a bit of magic missing this time at Disneyland. We did & experienced some great things & I captured those moments on camera.....but we also missed so many things.....I was shocked when I got home and realized everything I totally didn't get to. It was a strange trip this time but oh so special....all at the same time!!

I enjoyed seeing what you did & your pictures.....so many things we did the same & both enjoyed or disliked & a few we disagreed on......lol

I haven't had the opportunity to go to WDW so I have no idea what that would be like....but would love to go someday!!

If you ever come our way again....please let me know!! I would love to reconnect & spend some girl time at the parks with you!!
 
Oh my God Michele!! How's he doing now? Very scary & glad someone saw him & got him the help he needed! Keep me updated on how he's doing! :hug:

Wow I was out of this the other day. I didn't see this before.
 
Thanks so much for allowing us to "join" you all on your holiday! I sure hope we have as much fun as you and your family obviously did! I am looking forward to doing our trip report when we get home and I do hope I can do as good a job as you have done! We have 3 glorious weeks to look forward to including Christmas! So, heres to many more Disney memories for us all!

I can definitely see the advantages & disadvantages of having a big group. We are so used to our family of 3, I don't usually like others along for our whole trip! But I can see where it would be fun at times.

Not sure at this point when (I refuse to say if) we will get back to the World or the Land ... but if we come out West, I will definitely let you know!

How is Scotty doing? :confused3

You will have a great time! Can't wait for your report! Thank you so much for the kind words!
 
How is Scotty doing? :confused3

That is a good question thank you for asking. He is on the phone with the advice nurse right now, because he is really dizzy. He is having problems standing without holding onto anything. It looks like I will be going back to camp Kaiser as I like to call it. This time I am taking a book or two. I was there last Saturday without a book but honestly I don't know when I would have read. I was too stressed to read, and I really need to cry. You know what I mean? I never allowed myself to cry the other day and I can't right now because I don't want to upset him.

Sending prayers & hugs to you my friend!!! Take a book in the bathroom & let loose with those tears!!! Take a deep breath, know you are loved, know that angels were with Scotty that day & will continue to be with you all until he's better! Call me if you need too!!

Thank you Laurie. I have the worst headache and I am sure iot is because I am not sleeping well and I am bottling it all up.
 
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your TR. I haven't been to DLR since I was a baby and I enjoyed living vicariously through your report, so thanks!
 
Just found your TR now and am sad to see that it's over but I enjoyed every minute of it.

I loved all your food porn....especially the treats from Pooh's corner gotta luv the tigger tails!
 
I really enjoyed your trip report!! It got me that much more excited for our trip in 10 days!!!! We found out my husband has pneumonia yesterday and now I feel a sore throat coming on.... I really really hope we are both feeling well for our trip next week!!

Jenna319, hope your hubby feels better quickly and that you don't catch it!
 
Our first night I planned dinner at Goofy's Kitchen figuring that we would be too tired to go into the Parks and at least we would get that Disney feeling. Definitely a mistake. Very expensive and the food wasn't all that great.

Here are some pics of the buffet -

Is that a peanut butter & jelly pizza? YUCK!
