EPFW--Garden Grill
EPWS--San Angel Inn
DHS--50s Prime Time Cafe
MK--The Plaza
AK--Tusker House
Monorail Resort--1900 Park Fare but I personally would use the double TS credit and do HoopDeDoo Revue
Non-monorail resort--Cape May Cafe

Sounds like a good list except for Cape May, I enjoyed their breakfast but since a lot of the dinner seems to be seafood I would not get my money's worth there as I do not like seafood. Hubby would love it though.

Happy Sunday Ya'll
Joined the club last night.My mum took it upon herself to head out into the garden last night (late) to sort something and proceeded to fall.
One trip to A + E later and she has a broken arm ...

Oh my! This is crazy...hope she heals quickly...!

I'm hoping that you guys win the AL East, and that the Yankess don't even make it. So...we need to win the next three games.

I'm all for the Yankees not winning anything!

They just changed the menu at Akershus, it's not a buffet anymore and they didn't lower the price. The appetizers are all you care to eat and the an entre followed by a desert plate.

That's breakfast, though, right? Lunch and dinner haven't been buffet for a while now, at least it wasn't when we were there in 2011.

Happy Labor Day Monday! It's glorious. Absolutely perfect and it's official the pool will be open through next Sunday at least! It's going to be a good week, knew getting boots was a good idea (I have them , so now I won't need them)

I'm going to run out and get a pair now. Not sure that's going to work in Colorado.

Thats one of my favorite movies.. but what scene reminded you of that?
When the masked ghost overheats?

Yep, the infamous barfing scene.

Interesting how many people prefer breakfasts over there in the states.
Me, I was not impressed by breakfasts at WDW.. so few options. Its almost always the same (potato, sausage, eggs and waffles/pancakes with bacon)
I suppose I'm too used to the Mexican way (where we have tons of breakfast options)

Another reason for you to go the Disneyland...we went to Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel and there was a wide variety of items even lunch items like mac and cheese and different pizzas. There were a couple of quiches some that seemed to have a lot of peppers in it. And the breakfast I had at the Paradise Pier hotel a couple years ago had quite a few Mexican themed breakfast dished on it (I can't remember the names of them).

Yeah, the minister thing means little to me, I'm jaded. We are the heartland of the Priest abuse of children scandal including 2 out of my towns parish. Seemed to be a habit to stash these dudes in small parishes.

Out of that era of children I don't buy into children were sat in front of a TV for too long. There were only a few hours a day for Children's programming and even then you could count the channels available on one hand. Most of us had little interest in The Guiding Light or reruns of Lawrence Welk. We played outside with our friends.

My mom watched Guiding Light and Another World. I actually loved watching those with my mom. I don't know why she let me watch them with her, but we were very heartbroken when they went off the air.

Hubby and the kids.
Ski was bound, bent and determined to spoil every picture. Hubby appeared to join in the fun too.

This would have made me spit coffee, had I been drinking some.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Me, too! I wash, put some gel in it, comb, and go. I get my hair cut once a year, right before vacation. That's it.

No gel for me, that is still too much work. I hate that I even have to blow dry it before work, in the summer I just let it air dry. But I have too thick of hair that I have to blow dry it for work or it wouldn't be fully dry until about lunch time and in the winter it would freeze when I walked outside! I do cut it more than once a year probably 3 as I like to keep it a little shorter than shoulder length, so I don't have to do much besides brush it.

Ive given up on baseball now that football is starting up lol

My Twins might make a wild card spot (at least that is what hubby tells me, although that Cubs fan could be lying to me). But hockey season is right around the corner as since that is the only sport that matters it is time to focus on that!

Hide the ladder . . .

We gave our 24 foot ladder to the son in law. I no longer paint the outside of the house. Hubby calls and pays someone to do it. Getting older does have it's advantages!

I've had dinner at Cape May twice.
I had plenty to eat aside from seafood, which I also do not care for generally.

As to their breakfast - best oatmeal ever!

While I was too old for Sesame Street it was ground breaking for Children's TV. Prior to that it was mostly old men entertaining small children. Sesame Street went at it a whole different way. As time went on it only got better minus the duds. My kids had very different taste in TV programming. My DS liked to be entertained while my DD liked the shows that taught something after she got over the annoying purple Dinosaur.

Funny, I really hated Barney and I tried to limit her viewing of Barney shows and VHS tapes to keep my own sanity. My Mom was annoyed with that. She left my house and came back with a small TV with a built in VHS player for my 2 year olds room so she could watch Barney anytime she wanted to. Oddly I think I was 16 years old before I had a TV in my room at my folks home.

I'm very glad I was never subjected to Barney besides just knowing about him. I was too old for him. But I will always be a Sesame Street fan, I admit I might have occasionally watched an episode or two when I had outgrown it. In one of my child development classes in college we had to evaluate children's televisions shows so I think I focused my paper on that and Mister Rogers.

I also watched Another World with my mom! And Days of Our Lives. Funnily, I also watched those soaps for a while during my college years.

It's Labor Day...a day with no school...a day to sleep in but no! We were woke by the smell of a skunk in my front yard. At least I can NAP today.

Happy Labor Day to you too. Thanks for the countdown. I don't have to look at the calendar anymore.

DD was too old for Barney, also. I turned it on to see what it was like...not impressed.

I have to at least do gel or I'd have a bunch of random hairs sticking straight up! But I'm so glad I don't have to blow dry - I also have thick hair, but with our temperate weather year-round it's usually dry (or almost) by the time I get to work. The noise of the drier always annoyed me.

I watched Guiding Light, and Sommerset which was only on for a short time. Of course I was married with my little daughter.
