Hi Ariane! You may not remember me but I was on the disboards a lot last year while planning my November 2016 trip.
Of COURSE I remember you!! We had some overlapping days, I think maybe 2 or 3? On our trips last Nov.
I caught up on your Nov. 2016 trip and dining reports and I'm tagging along as you plan your new trip
. Looking fwd to reading more!
Thank you for reading through all that lol, and I'm very glad you're here now and following along. I've heard of a few people having the Dis blocked at their work so its nice they finally unblocked it for you now lol!
Hi. I know you are leaving in a couple weeks for your trip but I just found this and I am excited to read how your trip was. We are planning an August trip for next year towards the end of August. So excited to read about your pre-trip and your trip.
Thanks for joining! This will be our 4th time going in August. We definitely have to tour differently because of the heat but we still enjoy our Aug. trips. However this is the first time we're going so early in the month, we normally go towards the end when it's slower. Our original dates were the 23-31st until Ricky's football changed all that, so I'm curious to see the difference in crowds as opposed to late August.
For lunch there I had the tandoori chicken open faced sandwich thing. If it's still on the menu, I recommend that.
I've seen this on the menu before and it does look good; now I need to go check the menu and see if it's still there! I know they've made some changes to the dinner menu since our last visit but honestly I haven't checked the lunch one.
My kids' bathroom is upstairs and I go in there as infrequently as possible. It is a swamp.
My boys bathroom is in the upstairs hallway so I just choose to look straight ahead when I walk by. We also have a bathroom downstairs in the foyer which I tell them to use VERY infrequently; however, with all the extra people in the house it's getting used alot and it's getting to look (and smell
) like their bathroom...............I'm just repeatedly thankful for my own sanctuary off our bedroom lol!
Same for us in October. We are supposed to land at 8:27pm, and I told her we were just going to get our own bags. She was disappointed b/c I told her about the delivery service, and I think she was looking forward to that.
You could always have bell services hold your moms bags; then about an hour after you get in your room you can go get them, knock on the door and pretend you're delivering them
All of this. I am in mourning for the DHS of old...MGM Studios!! I have a shirt I bought there in 2001 that I will never get rid of - navy long sleeve with the MGM emblem on the front and Metro-Goldwyn Mayer down the sleeve. I love it.
I wish I had a shirt like that! You should wear it in Oct. if it still fits! And maybe handcuff yourself somewhere in the park and refuse to eat until they agree to bring back GMR, or Mulch, Sweat and Sheers, or.............
Have I told you that I used to have my picture of the GG house framed?? I think it's upstairs somewhere, I need to go find it!
The Golden Girls house! Wear your shirt and put your framed GG picture around your neck, and handcuff yourself to Gertie's neck somehow and refuse to eat until they bring the house back! And maybe ask for Animation Academy while your at it! Thanks
That kind of looks like Dreidel the Disney Dog! He's a service dog I follow on Instagram..
I've never heard of him so know after I check Sanaa's lunch menu I have to look him up
Have you seen the Cheesy BBQ Brisket? It sounds sooooo good.
Yup! I think the grilled cheese sandwich looks good, too!
we finally pulled them out of there and headed to Streets of America. And it was EMPTY. There was no one back there! It was a nice break from the crowds!
Just a couple years ago, in the summer of 2014, they were doing characterpalooza on the Streets of America so it got very crowded later in the afternoon. Plus you could still see the sign for Mr. Gold's Pawn Shop until they closed the streets. And one of my favorite acts in HS, actually in all the parks, Mulch, Sweat and Sheers, played back there a few times a day until 2015 I believe. Not to mention the Osborne Lights until 2015! And LMA, which was open longer than the Backlot Tour. Also way, way back they had the Power Rangers meeting back there, when Ricky was little. It was so cool!
That reminds me, I have to find some things for the girls to trade with the Jawas.... I hear they are picky!
We didn't trade of course but I've read here on the Dis quite a few threads about what they will and won't trade. Something about shiny things: either they like them or the don't lol.
