Wow! That was so nice of Theresa to comp your Boma breakfast!
Your selfie with Groot is stinkin adorable!!!
I'm glad your HBD curse has been broken! The storm sounds crazy though!
Glad you were still able to watch Fantasmic!
I don't blame you for getting a little emotional! Knowing the end of a trip is approaching can be sad!
It was such a nice gesture at Boma! One we won't soon forget.
It's hard to leave Disney on any trip, but especially trips that are especially magical like this one was. We'd been there for so long at that point that it felt strange to think of going home and not getting up in the most magical place on earth every day.
We met them for the first time on our last trip. I was rather impressed with the interaction. The boys didn't really know who they were but they enjoyed it anyways. Now they know exactly who they are (we finally watched the movie) and D wants to be Groot for Halloween
That's so cute that D wants to dress up as Groot! That would be adorable! And yes, I think they seem to usually do a really good job with character interactions at that meet.
That's very nice. What about happy husbands? Nobody ever cares about us. We don't even have a special phrase. Happy husband, happy ______. I got nuttin'.
Maybe because it's so hard to rhyme with husband?? I feel ya. A good reminder to put a little extra focus on my happy husband once in a while
Wait! Are the baked beans and the chicken not allergy friendly?
They were, actually! That's what the little sticks in the picture were for, to mark that it was safe for allergies. Beans occasionally aren't gluten free, but a lot of the Disney ones are. Fried chicken is not, but this was roasted so it was good to go.
I'm not a cornbread fan. Isn't corn gluten free and/or allergy okay? Not understanding why they'd use a cake mix for gluten free.
Corn is gluten free (though hard to process. A lot of people can't eat it, but fortunately, I can!) Bread, however, is not. Cornbread has wheat flour in it, at least the way most people make it. Apparently it's easier for the chefs to alter a gluten free boxed yellow cake mix and add cornmeal to it to get the right consistency for cornbread, rather than starting from scratch with a blend of gluten free flours. I've tried experimenting with making it at home with the same mix, but I still haven't quite got the ratios right.
I can hear N complaining about always having to drink your alcohol. The sacrifices we husbands make for our wives. But does anyone ask about happy husband, happy ______? Wow, vuja de again.
When I saw the score vs. accuracy, I was huh?? So...question about that. Is it that you're hitting higher value targets or just shooting so dang quickly you have lesser accuracy, but more targets overall.
A little of both, really. I know which higher targets to aim for, but my main strategy is just to rapid-fire (literally) and hope that some of the shots hit the targets. I have terrible aim.
My favorite too, especially since wishes is no more.
Agreed. Wishes used to hold my #1 spot, but now Fantasmic is the new winner for me.
Maybe this is the secret... my accuracy is always better but zack still wins!
Haha yes! I shoot pretty blindly, but eventually some of them hit the targets!
I was especially excited to read about your HBD meal. I absolutely adore that place and go most every trip. The Cobb is so yummy!
Agreed! I'm not even a big salad fan. Usually one of those "eat it because it's green and good for you" kind of things. But I love the cobb salad there. Probably all that bacon disguising the healthy bits doesn't hurt...
I've seen a thunderstorm that close one other time in 2010; right over Main Street while waiting for the fireworks. The whole crowd saw the castle get struck and it was terrifying. Thousands of people were packed into the Emporium while it dumped. But I saw the sweetest Disney moment ever while there. A dad of a couple little ones pulled a book off of a shelf and sat down with his kiddos and started reading them this story. It was absolutely beautiful and I always wonder if that might be those kids' "favorite" (possibly only) take-away memory of their trip.
Holy smokes! What a wild memory! But such a sweet moment you were privy to. Some of my fondest and strongest memories from my early childhood are of my grandmother sitting me down and reading to me.
