That is a really neat factoid about Mary Poppins and the costume designer. I had no idea! I think he did a GREAT job.

Another awesome bit of trivia! Wow! I wish they wouldn't have destroyed it. Very clever.

LL, sounds like you had a GREAT evening being solo! All the way from enjoying to DHS to "me time" in the hotel. I hope your feet start to feel much better for when your Mom arrives...

Oh yes, I remember her tights too! It was a great evening despite the rain and feet.

I'm so glad you were able to do a lot of exploring and just enjoy DHS before the rains came. Even better you were able to just have some time to relax and rest those poor feet of yours!!

I cannot wait for our DHS day...the 4 of us are going to have a blast hitting up certain places and areas and I think One Man's Dream should be one of them!!!!!

Great update LL!

I really can't wait for DHS again, it's so much fun. I am just super happy while I am there.

I really need to do One Man's Dream. I think I did it 15 years ago but not since then-if it was even open then. As you saw from the sign, not much was there back then!

There seemed to be a lot of changes to One Man's Dream even from when I was there last September. It's a great tribute to Walt.

I'm starting DS out early reading him a kid's bio of Disney-he was really so visionary and I particularly love his early short cartoons from the 30s and of course Snow White-beautiful... and the 50s-Peter Pan and Sleeping Beauty and Alice of course...

I was really interested in your report of the Hollywood Brown Derby-sounds great-I enjoyed living vicariously through your experience-I started having a meal there once...but dd started to feel ill so I took her outside and let DH & DS finish......I'll have to get back there some day...

(I got sick on a different trip and missed my meal at Jiko...-perhaps my family is cursed...and it's never the Counter Service we miss-its the Table Service that I was really looking forward to...(DS got sick when we were in Disneyland and we missed Napa Rose at the Grand Californian)-ok... so we've had three strikes-NO MORE ALLOWED-As God as my witness-it will never happen again...

I love that your having a good time solo and can't wait till your mom shows up...

(I am sorry about your feet and hope they feel better-that can be such a miserable feeling...)

Wow! No more strikes for you! I can't recommend Brown Derby enough, it's my favorite at Disney...well so far.

I'm so behind again! Too much to quote so I'll just say it was a great update and I'm so sorry about your feet! I really hope on your next trip your feet behave themselves so you can enjoy everything!

I love that picture. Where is that? It is so pretty.

I am really worried about the rain in August. We went one year in June and it rained alot and from the things I have looked at August has a higher average of rain fall than June.

I can tell you from what I remember from when we used to go in August it did rain just about every day but it was usually between 3 and 6 and it was usually done by 6, I think if I remember correctly. So not too much time and it was usually when we were back at the hotel eating. Usually it wasn't 3 hours though, like maybe an hour to an hour and a half so it shouldn't ruin your plans too much. I guess we'll both find out though very soon!!

I wouldn't worry too much. I think with the rain you never know. I went in late September 2 years ago, and it rained every day we were there. Even the CM's we talked to kept commenting on how crazy the weather was. My parents went about a week or two later and had one short rainfall the entire trip.

I went the last week of August last year and we had no problems with the rain. It rained a bit, but nothing out of the ordinary and certainly not continously.

I really hope they do too! I can't take another trip with my feet like that.

That picture is near the statues in Hollywood Studios, on the side where Indiana Jones is. Does that make sense? It's really a pretty background.

I think that it will just the "normal" summer rain.

Oh...Harry Potter was EXCELLENT! I really loved it. They did a great job with it I think. I was only a little disappointed that they left out one part or...they didn't do it like it was in the book but overall AWESOME.
