Only one observation today: some of the floats on the Festival of Fantasy parade still had Christmas decorations. It's January 21. Christmas is LONG gone.

Last time I checked (last night), it was back. Will have to confirm on Friday.

Well if LeCellier brought it back that will make many happy that still go there. Not often does Disney reverse their cuts. Hope you get your steak!

Here's what they are currently showing on the menu:
Le Cellier Filet Mignon
AAA Canadian Beef Tenderloin, Wild Mushroom Risotto, Heirloom Toy Box Tomatoes, Truffle-Butter Sauce

Today could not have been more perfect. The longest wait for a ride was 7DMT at 60 minutes, but we had FPs. Most stuff, including Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain, was between 20-30 minutes. I saw Space Mountain go up to 45 minutes at one point, but when we went in with FPs, it didn't look even that long. We had three extra FPs that the resort gave us (they are renovating the floor above us and it has been quite noisy in the morning) so we got to do Space Mountain and 7DMT twice, plus Peter Pan and BTMR ( the second time on that was with the DAS). We still have a bit more of Fantasyland to cover, but we've pretty much done everything we wanted to over there today. And to top it off, it was in the 70s today and we were all in shorts. And it was sunny. And back home, it's snowing. So yes, we had an awesome day.

Glad you're having fun! This is what my front yard looked like today. Be so glad you aren't here!

Pretty, though.

Agreed! I think it's worth a ride up to New Hampshire this weekend . . .

Finally a reason to go to New Hampshire!

Hahaaa...!
Although, I did have an old home stereo system with an 8-track player, when I bought my first car I went straight to a stereo with a cassette deck.

I had R&R in Japan in 1970. While I was there I bought a tape deck for my car and had it shipped home. I had never seen one like this it played both 8 track and cassette. I don't know if I can explain it, but when you looked at the front it looked just like it was a Cassette player only. It was kind of a false front. If you took an 8 track tape and pushed it against opening for the cassette, it would open up to the size of the 8 track and had little mechanisms inside the pushed all the cassette stuff up and out of the way and went to a set of heads for the 8 track. Those Japanese electronic engineers were very clever. It played beautifully but not for very long before the thing just stopped working. Then it just became a clever little piece of junk.

Pretty, though.

Yea, just freaking beautiful!

most restaurants on epcot actually change the offers between lunch and dinner.. the portions seems smaller and more "casual" when its lunch.

Personally I find the vast majority of all TS minus SOME of the signatures to be very casual whether it is lunch or dinner.

I was surprised how casual The Yachtsman was compared to Narcoossee's.
For each restaurant, Tammy and I wore dressier shoes and capris and a blouse. Hubby wore a collared golf shirt and long pants.
We were actually a smidge over-dressed (compared to the other patrons) at Yachtsman. About average at Narcoossee's.

looks pretty, but must be cold as hell!

Oh, I was talking about the dishes served, not the people or ambient.

For example, Le Cellier at lunch seems to be more sandwiches and burgers and salads.
Then at Dinnet, theres more variation and more speciality food.

In my case.. I always take the dressing code very seriously.
I was appalled to see so many badly dressed at the "Captain's Gala" dinner (formal dinner) at Disney. Considering the mayority were old adults.
But young adults (milenials?) were with awful flowered tshirts, sandals, and shorts.
One even had jogging/gym pants!.

Gotcha!

Some menus are the same others yeah, they are not as grand.

Yeah ma'am, you're just gonna want to go down to the personal hygiene section, make a left, and go through the automatic doors. As soon as you see the sun, you're back outside.

Bet she isn't taking her kids to WDW anytime soon.

I'm horrible at Buzz. Much better at Toy Story though.

On Buzz, it helps very much to know where the 100,000s are. And the 25,000s. Both help very much.

I know where 4 100,000s are. I only aim for 3 of them. One is too difficult to hit, so I go for the 25,000 in that room. I consider it a failure if I don't max out at least one cannon.

TSM...not as great. I haven't had as much practice since the lines are so long, and my arm tires very quickly. Usually I get around 160,000-170,000. My record is 200,000, only because I rode with my brother that time, and he sometimes just watches and only shoots a little bit, so I had the targets to myself

Excellent! Those types of awesome days don't happen enough anymore. I'm glad you experienced one!!

 

[MinnieM123]

That is correct, wise one.

I knew it was China as well. Those types of figurines, etc. are very common in the gift shops here in Chinatown.
