Ah the Skyway! Gah, do I miss that! Never got to experience at WDW but went on it often at DLR.
I didn't know they had one at WDW. We only ever went to DLR since we lived an hour and a half away. I remember the sad story of the guy falling from it well.
And I definitely eat based off nostalgia purposes. It just feels good to the soul knowing you're eating something that you did many years ago and totally enjoyed it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one in this camp.
What is this and where do I find it?
It is sold in the Norway Pav and is rice cooked in cream then mixed with whipped cream, and then topped with strawberry jam. Soooooo goooooood.
I really, really hope you find them. DH will be so happy if you do!
I will let you all know!
Aw shucks! Thanks! To be honest, I haven't because I'm scared to death by the thought of doing people. What if they don't turn out!? I like landscapes because, hey, no big deal if you they don't.
This is fantastic news!
I'll tell you a little secret; I'm probably most excited about her going than anyone else, as she is FAR more excited herself about getting to go. The others are kinda meh at this point. Maybe they'll pour on the juice when we actually GET there.
That's great news that Michaela can join you for a portion of the trip!
SQUEEEEE! It's been like 11 years or more since she's been! (We need to change that!)
Thank goodness for figurative speech.
Maybe I should be more literal, but then half my sarcasm would be pointless. And where's the fun in that?
No... I said pain free is better.
OH! I thought you were insinuating that being DEAD was the alternative. And pain is better than dead. My dad always said, "If you wake up and nothing hurts, start looking for the Pearly Gates."
Nah. You put itty bitty pampers on those suckers.
Have you ever tried to catch a wild squirrel? They will bite your hand off.
Don't be silly. It's for drinks.
The freezer on the other hand (and on the other side of the lazy boy) is for.... ICE CREAM SANDWICHES!!!!!
Well... you were the one who said sandwiches and ice cream in the same breath.
You are a great planner. Have you pre-ordered your Mickey Bars?
NO
The magic is definitely not fading. The magic is there if you let it be there and let yourself accept it.
The magic isn't in getting a night's stay in the castle suite (although it'd certainly be nice!
) but in the CM who gives you a smile and says "Have a magical day."
I've seen far too many posts from people who basically say "My vacation was ruined because _________" and then post something relatively minor. A lack of towel animals didn't change my enjoyment of my last trips one iota. And it's like so many things. One person gets some pixie dust. They mention it. Now everyone wants that "once in a lifetime" thing and if they don't get it.... why didn't they? "You got an anytime FP? Why didn't I? Trip ruined!" "You were the family of the day and we weren't! Trip ruined!" I think the magic is in the unexpected. When we got towel animals when we first went with the DDs, it was magic because it wasn't really widely known yet. And I appreciated it and the kids loved it. But then...
everyone insisted that they get towel animals too! And every day! And they better be elaborate or else! Where's the magic in that? It's no longer magic, it's an expected (
demanded!) service.
I much,
much prefer to go in with no expectations other than to enjoy myself and if/when something happens... then it's
truly magical as opposed to expected.
So when I got a little rolled up towel with my toothbrush stuck in it; I didn't say "That's it? Where's my towel
animal?" instead I thought "Cool! They'd never do that anywhere else!"
The magic is alive and well.
You just have to let it find you.
Well, Ok, I was more referring to things like the onslaught of upcharge hard ticket events, and even more sad (to me at least) the shift in focus to Disney product theming rather than the classic Disney style of NON-character themed stuff like PoTC, HM, COP. I"m truly sad they took out ALL of Future World stuff, the Making of Me, and are now going to desecrate ToT. IMHO. I know there are plenty of people who disagree.
I agree with you 100% about letting the little pieces of magic find you and revel in those. I don't consider myself to have the Spirit of Entitlement and won't be disappointed if I don't get a towel animal. What I do see, in a lot of areas though is the tyranny of the corporation profits overriding some of the special touches that used to be there (lack of dump shops for one). Does that make sense? Can we find common ground here?
I have no idea.
But you're a heck of a PTReporter.
Not really. But I do have fun! I love writing and I love the people who share it all with me!
New toy won't enter into it, I bet. That first time you compose a shot on Main street and say "I want the whole castle in the picture!" or "I want all of Main St.!"... a 'normal' lens with your APSC camera ain't gonna do it.
You know what. I bought this lens SPECIFICALLY with that shot in mind. I walked into our local camera shop and told them THAT shot was what I had in mind and that started my journey of learning about wide angle stuff. THEN I went on the that trip with my neighbor and he let me play with his WAL and I was sold. You know the rest of the story, but yeah, I want my own balloon and Main St. shot.
Of course. This is natural and normal.
Standing DIY Rule #1- Stuff must break that you're trying to fix in at least one way before the project is done.
If you have to collect the bags and bring 'em to DME, it's no biggie.
Done that more often than not, lately.
Yeah, I suppose.
Well.... honestly?
YES!!!
Ice reporting for duty!
