Re: If you were allowed - what 'souvenir' would you take hom
Did anyone watch the first HGTV show on the Disney backyards? My friend wasn't able to tape it, but I looked at the photos online. Here is a link to the photos if anyone is interested.

What do you think? I like some of the elements, the cute little lights outside the teapot for example, but I also found myself looking at it from a practical standpoint. It looks like it would make the yard very hard to maintain. Lots of manual trimming. I understand that a lot of the activities and furniture are geared toward the children, but I don't see any seating that an adult would find remotely comfortable. And what happens if Grandma moves. How do you divide up that railroad?

I looked at the pictures. Looks neat. I'm not sure if I would want it. Maybe just the train.

Re: If you were allowed - what 'souvenir' would you take hom
My friends said they didn't tape it when it was on because their 13 year old son was spending the night at a friend's house and they didn't know how to set the DVD recorder
But they also said that cable re-runs almost everything so hopefully the next time it is on I can go watch or they will have figured out their equipment by then

I think I'd want a corn dog cart from DLR since they (and Wienerschnitzel's) are the only corn dogs I will eat.

I know I said the rocking chairs from Fort Wilderness or the like but I also love the outdoor rockers at the Boardwalk. Would love to have a couple of those for my back porch.

In that vein, how about a couple of cars from the Tomorrowland raceway? with the dampeners taken off course. That would be fun to drive those around.

You need to find a Cracker Barrell along the highway - they have tons of those type of rocking chairs for sale out in front of the restaurant/store...kcarts wrote:I know I said the rocking chairs from Fort Wilderness or the like but I also love the outdoor rockers at the Boardwalk.

True, but they're not Disney chairsmindflipper wrote:You need to find a Cracker Barrell along the highway - they have tons of those type of rocking chairs for sale out in front of the restaurant/store...kcarts wrote:I know I said the rocking chairs from Fort Wilderness or the like but I also love the outdoor rockers at the Boardwalk.

LOL! How do you Disney just doesn't buy them from the same manufacturer as Cracker Barrel? I'm pretty sure they don't make their own rocking chairs...

Re: If you were allowed - what 'souvenir' would you take hom
I can't imagine that there's that many rocking chair manufacturers in the USA...
Re: If you were allowed - what 'souvenir' would you take hom
Do the whole parks count as a 'souvenir'?
