What an unusual location for a proposal! :joyfull: Here's my guess: I'll bet the two of them randomly met each other there, and were dating for quite some time after that. The gentleman thought to himself, why not propose to her in the location where they first met. In that sense, I think it's very romantic. :inlove:

Awe, what a sweet interpretation.

I'm no young whippersnapper so I'll put on my @Goofyernmost curmudgeon hat......Some of these events are becoming so over the top and I tend to favor the simpler ways of my earlier years. I feel for guys trying to come up with clever proposals. I kinda liked the days of private romantic moments vs the big public displays, but that is just me. The market at least was a dozen or so people around in the background and then some brief applause. Now there are couples, with their wedding dance perfectly choreographed into performances, it is a lot of pressure and most of them lack the romance of traditional first dance. To me it has been rehearsed to death, staged lacking any warmth after all that. More theater.

The ones that really make me slap my head are 1st born babies. First there is the pressure to be unique in how you announce the baby you are expecting. Only to be topped by how you shall reveal in advance of babies birth how you will cleverly reveal the s ex of the baby. That too must be a one of a kind event. By the time the baby is born there is nothing left to announce other than baby is here, anticlimactic. I'm kinda glad I missed out on all this grandeur. Me, I had my first dance, daddy's dance, told people I was expecting and calls from hospital saying it was a boy and later a girl. I chose not to be informed as to what type of child I was having, I enjoy a bit of suspense. The only one not surprised was the doctor.

For the most part I agree. I think that A frozen ride would have worked wonders using it's own brand new show building, and by puting it to the right of Ariel. that being said I think it is still a good idea to put Disney movie rides at a few pavilions in Epcot. Such as maybe an Aladdin ride for Morroco, or the Ratatouille ride from Paris to France (Pavilion) Or maybe a brand new (rainforest based) pavilion, and put a Tarzan coaster there posibly, but you get what I'm saying. The thing I disagree with is taking out a very good attraction to put in a still good ride, but not about the country's culture. So in other countries it works where they don't have to replace a ride, but not for Norway. Not to mention the name Frozen Ever After is just too generic.

I disagree. I think the WS was unique. I like the movies where I personally think they belong, the MK and the studios.
I'm OK with a bit in AK cause otherwise it just be a small zoo.

I like both Star Wars and Star Trek, though I've been watching Star Trek since I was about 7 or 8 and only started watching Wars as a teenager, and I can tell you a heck of a lot more about Trek, but I've got far more SW stuff than Trek. I pretty much only have some of the films, whereas I have a good bit of SW stuff. I am currently wearing my "Judge me by my size, do you?" t-shirt from WDW. My ringtones are also SW. My main ringtone is the theme. If my dad calls, it plays Darth Vader's theme. Text tone is R2D2. I watched some Star Trek: TNG this morning. I like them both for different reasons.

My knowledge of Doctor Who comes from Big Bang Theory.

Have you ever been to a ST convention?

Yep, I was out several years ago when Disney went to Chicken Dogs. If you are going to have a hot dog stand, let it be a hot dog stand. People travel from all areas of the globe, a chicken dog is not a fair representation of a hot dog. The Ice Cream Parlor decor isn't by any stretch a representation of USA Baseball. The New Casey's is just a giant miss on imagineering. Fixed what was not broken, again.

Great 'ole pictures.

We work strange hours here. I love to cook and have become very good at it but I have had to adjust to cooking good food that can be either eaten at a later time or is diverse like the pork that can be used in many different types of meals.

Last week when I was heading out of town I bought 2 chickens from Sam's Club and de-boned the meat and put in a ZipLock. Many ways to rework chicken meals. When I buy 5 pound of ground meat it becomes, sloppy joes, meatloaf (primetime meatloaf) spaghetti, chili and stuffed green pepper soup. Now I kinda move from meat group to meat group each week on a rotation.

Next week will likely be a very large eye of round roast. It will be a traditional beef dinner, then Mongolian Beef, Italian Roast Beef Sandwiches and if enough is left beef stew. I buy large cuts of meat at Sam's Club and then plan out what I will do with it all. It really helps keeping my meat costs under control. I use to cook 4 days a week but now with my DD working 2nd shift and weekends, we eat out less on weekends though I do see Lou Malnati's in our future this weekend even if it is take out. :hungry:

Wow . . .

Meanwhile, last night, I nuked up a cup of instant potatoes, and embellished them with a little butter and grated cheese from a jar. And I was all proud of myself for that! :hilarious:

Defiantly they need to either add an e-ticket between Morocco, and France and add either the Ratatouille Lps ride from Paris, or maybe make an Aladdin Lps ride for Morocco. Also either a new pavilion maybe Brazil Between Germany, and China (although that might not be possible in that location, because I've heard that it was firework space?) So anyway it could either be an add on hopefully a Rheine River cruise for Germany, or a brand new pavilion. And I could go on, and on about future world. A figment needs to have "merchandise" presence, but like Mickey Mouse should not have his own ride. Captain EO is tricky due to the show having being in DLP TDL and DL. Last,chug not least Ellen needs to be overhauled except keep the ride music plus are music :)

World Showcase should not mix countries and characters. Meet and greets are fine but rides, no thanks. Ever since Mexico, everything changed.

If a Frozen ride is too culturally inaccurate for Norway, why is an Aladdin ride culturally accurate in Morocco?

Aladdin was a story from the Arabian Peninsula about a boy from China.
