Grumpy and his wife and possibly the DIS Food Porn Queen are going to Disney

[KatMark]

Yeah, we'll have to make it happen sometime soon! You sound like you'd be fun company in The Ditch.

 

[KatMark]

We will head over to World Showcase. We usually start on the Mexico side, but I think this time we'll try the reverse only because we'll probably only get half way through the countries...if that...before our 3:00 ADR for lunch/early dinner.

This would have us starting in Canada this time around. Mark loves to walk through the stores and try on the hats (if you read my last trip report you will see that this is something my darling husband does at EVERY SINGLE STORE we walk into...he tries on at least one hat):

We will stop and go see the short film in Canada -- O Canada...we really enjoy this one.

Next up is the United Kingdom. We enjoy watching the street actors if they are out as we pass by. And we always make a stop at the bookstore here because I MUST HAVE this picture taken every year:

Okay...gotta stop for a bit...the boss needs something. Be back soon (I hope)

About time you got here!!! How was Desperate Housewives? And did Todd do anyting else I should know about?

The trip won't be the same if you can't join us...so we are keeping fingers tightly crossed...as well as arms, legs, toes, eyes, etc.

I'm here for all the fun trip planning.

First off, it seems as if you have a wonderful family. I know you must be proud of your sons.

I look forward to the days when Kevin and I will wander off to Disney World to explore by ourselves, and then take our children and their spouses, and our grandchildren on other trips.

Hi Kathy Just joining in, all your plans look great so far!

 

[that's nice]

I love the pic of Mark with the moose hat on!!!!!

I didn't realize you can see Tigger & Pooh in the UK. Cool!

Thank you for joining, and thanks for the comments on our boys. As much as they aggravate us at times (as all of our kids do), they have done us very proud. Both were heavily involved in sports from the time they were four, and they are now giving back (Andy to baseball and Markie to wrestling).

Hi Kathy Just joining in, all your plans look great so far!

Thank you for coming over. More plans later tonight or tomorrow (I have to finish some office work that I didn't get done at the office).

I love the pic of Mark with the moose hat on!!!!!

Thanks, Tim. You will see Mark in MANY hats.

Yes, Tigger, Pooh and Eeyore appear in the book shop in the UK. Even though we go to CP every year, I like going here because you can get a picture with all three.

i love that your DH tries on all the different hats thats great!!! Your plans for the first day sound great!! I have never stopped and watched the o canada short film-- maybe i will this year

I remember some pics of him from your TR. I like 'em!

I honestly think this is the first time I've ever hear of this. Thanks!!!

Yeah, he cracks me up with his hats. Last year he had me trying them on too. We usually do all the films (although Norway could use an update). They updated the Canada one about two years ago and Martin Short is now the narrator. I like it.

Any time I can help my friend Tim out, I am happy to do so.

I think I ended with being in United Kingdom and my "must do" pic with Pooh and friends. Up next is France. We usually walk through the shops quickly here. First, I can't stand the smell of perfume and 99% of it makes me have sneezing fits so we skip this shop; we don't drink wine so we usally skip this one as well. But we will walk through quickly if time permits (I just hold my nose in the perfume store). We usually stop for a picture in front of the "Eiffel Tower."

A hat photo:

And while in France, we will have to stop for one of these for Mark:

Next is Morocco and browsing the shops and hoping to see Aladdin and the Genie.

Up next would be Japan. We must watch the drummers...they are truly amazing--very talented:

Up next...where will we have late lunch/early dinner?

You've been busy while I've been sleeping... I'm doing a hat theme this time around too- you've given me some good ideas

Hi, Liesa. I love watching him try on the hats...he just has such a good time and we laugh and laugh...wondering which one will the silliest. I was busy at work today so no update, but here's a hat picture just for you:

 

[All7OfUs]

I love trying them on and getting pix of them on my kids, but honestly, does anyone really BUY them?? And if so, do they actually EVER wear them again??

Seems like a lot of dough to plop down for wearing it for a few hours.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Oh my goodness, what kind of friend am I to arrive on the THIRD page?? My plan was to be the first to post, but doggone it, life got in the way and must admit, then I forgot. But here now, all caught and you've already given me enough smiles to last a week - this PTR is going help get through the time until our December trip...well, until September and then your TR will get me through the rest of the time!

I just love your PTR's and TR's - the pics are the best, especially Mark in his many hats. Thanks for inviting me!!

(and everything is crossed in hopes Nicki will be able to join you for a couple of days..even my eyes. )

I wondered that about so many of the things I saw in the stores at Disney! Particularly some of the silly, expensive stuff at the EPCOT World Showcase shops. But its all so fun to look at!

 

[TigerKat]

Hi y'all!

 

[All7OfUs]

Oh my goodness

HI there!!! It's been a while since I've seen you!

You are right. Despite being outrageous and outrageously expensive, I do enjoy looking too!!

Somehow I got unsubscribed to your thread. I was looking for it to ask if you heard the rumor that free dining is coming out on Monday! Watch for it!


Now, I'm going back to see what I missed out on.
