What an awesome night at DHS that was.  The lights were spectacular. 

 

We headed back to the Fort for a good night's sleep.

 

Tomorrow would bring more lodge time, Fort time, and Magic Kingdom.........

Yes.   TCD

Now we can make fun of you for not finishing your TR quickly enough.  With the snow storm we are expecting here in the South the next few days, I will be very bored and hoping for many updates each da

I like P+F in their Christmas hats! And I love good character interaction.    Was there any Glow with the Show action at Fantasmic? 

They are indeed AMAZING Gwen.

If Troll was reading along, I am sure he would agree with that description.

 

I concur.

 

AMAZING!

 

I'm glad you finally got to see them.

 

I heard a new rumor this past visit that there's a chance the Osborne Lights may not be back next year.  I don't believe that, but it came from a source that is usually reliable.

If they got rid of them, that would be a travesty. The area does seem like a vast waste of space most of the year though. If they were removed to make way for Star Wars Land, i could deal with it. It seems like there is enough room to do a Cars Land where the backlot tour and stunt car show are at though. And then didnt you or somebody else post a drawing of a possible star Wars Land in the existing DHS parking lot and then the lot being moved to another location? If that would work, then they could keep the Streets of America.

Just spitballing.

I hope your source is NOT reliable this time!

 

I should have mentioned the new part about this rumor. The new part is that there is some kind of contract dispute with the Osborne family.  This wasn't the make room for Star Wars land rumor.  My response was Disney doesn't need the Osborne name.  They can just call it something else.

The lights are nice, but I like the photos with the kids best.

 

Thanks Annie.

 

With the 6 new inches of snow we got yesterday, I wish I was there taking pics of the kids right now.

 

What an excellent morning.

 

Breakfast at Roaring Forks, and you still made it to rope drop at the MK.

 

Well done!

 

I'm trying to figure out what the one thing is that has to do with Adventureland?  Did you get your face painted at the Pirate League?  I hope that's what it is.

 

TCD

 

Alas, I have never had the opportunity to get my face painted at the Pirate League.

 

RF will be back on the agenda next trip.

 

Very interesting seeing a Nativity... in March. :))  (pot calling kettle black.  H and I just moved remaining christmas decor to the attic this week)  

 

I am trying to bring a little Christmas/light into the end of this long, cold winter.

 

Did you notice how lopsided the top of this tree is?  

 

Reminds me of the 2012 DHS tree:

 

DSCN0387.jpg

 

I was wondering about that too, but then I thought it might just be me.  I figured my DW would be making fun of me like Ralphie's dad....."That star is crooked."

 

Hollywood Studios' Holiday Lights. There ya go Disney, problem solved.

 

Can I be your agent?

 

Our outside light arches just came down. It's been too cold and snowy. Oops

It happens.  We got a half way decent day in early January and got all but the posts for our driveway arches down.  Those are frozen in the ground until the spring thaw.

 

I wonder if the characters ever go to sign their pay check, a birthday card etc and accidentally write Tinkerbell instead of Suzie, etc?

 

I bet Big Wendy would.

Nice job with the Preakfast Born.  

 

Thanks.  Thought you'd like that.

 

:rofl3:  I would love to be inside your brain to see all the random thoughts as they form.   :heart:

 

I see a movie in your future, "Being ShinysparklybubblesBeckers"

 

It's a scary, scary place. And if I get excited? Oh talk about a hot jumbled mess!

 

Malkovich.  Malkovich!  Malkovich. Malkovich?

I can relate.  My thoughts dart from one thing to the next before completing the first random thought.  

 

What were we talking about?

 

 

Onion rings?

 

Are they beer battered?

 

Yum.

 

That sounds good.

 

and would be a great post for the Carb Loving Thread.

 

I'll take some.
