Post by: Soap on April 19, 2008, 11:05:49 AM
Still had no time for a proper report and photo overview, so i will post some pictures first ;)

We have had a great trip, saw Karl Holz open Stitch live (saw Kristoff there!), saw the ToT opening from a distance with those big light and projection show, had a great diner @ Cafe Mickey, had great cocktails @ the Redwood Sequia Lodge bar and had so many laughs about my little nephew's disney adventures!!!  :lol:  
In one word, it was again a magical trip with whole my family (Mom, dad, my little nephew, sister in law, my little brother, me, my fiancee and my little sister!)

(Pictures are mostly at chronological order. Except the first one)

Great trip report with very nice pictures. Was the breakfast in the park the "Good Morning Fantasyland Breakfast" or was it just a breakfast buffet for everyone?

Don't know if it was still called "Good Morning Fantasyland Breakfast" but is was only for hotel guests and surely looked like it! My mom has got the ticket for it, so i will post it asap ;)

Thx for the compliments and yes, my little nephew is so cute on the pluto picture @ mickey's! :D

GREAT PHOTOS! I was gonna go on tower of terror, but as soon as I saw it, I gulped and said "Er...maybe not!"

I didn't expect it to be that tall!

Hmm...couldn't say I fancy the hsm2 show or whatever it was...

Looks like you had a great time! Lol! You saw the site admin! Tee hee! Did you speak to him and say "I'M SOAP FROM YOUR FORUM!!!  :D " or just take a photo and run?

I went to the cowboy cookout! There was a mouse under the table, and my grandma saw it! She started running around screaming, and we chased it away, but she refused to sit down at the table again! She went and ate her hotdog on the other side of the restaurant!

great prictures! I'm getting all excited!!! 12 days....  :D/


breakfast in the park:
now that's interesting! when we booked, we asked on the phone if there is breakfast in the park, but they said, they wouldn't do that anymore (what a pitty)!
I guess, we'll just ask while checking in and try to get BF in the park, too!

There was nothing strange about it! The way my grandma acted was strange though! She refused to sit down at the table, even when we chased it away! She's terrified of mice!

One way to find out, Baloo is it you if you're reading this, identify yourself.. :lol:

Actually when I met up with the gang in the October time 2007, Baloo was the only one missing and he did say he hopes to join them for the next Halloween time.  So I have no idea what he looks like.  :?:

Photo Baloo anyone... :P  Mawahwha.. :lol:
