Scrooge's face was more pronounced though and did remind you of the animation in only that no face could possibly have that shape. Otherwise, it too, was startlingly realistic.

so i'm assuming this movie will be released this holiday. this train idea is to create a buzz? or no?

I'm thinking we're probably going on a long road trip next year. We may get as far as South Dakota.

Anyone remember when the implemented that charge? Was it before we booked this one in early December 2007?

Jeff, I booked in January 2008 and we didn't have to pay the fuel surcharge, so it was just after that when I think they started it.

Onto happier news - brother made it to Iraq (think I already posted that - can't remember). His wife and her mom just opened a restaurant in their home town on Monday. They named it "Papa Sean's Cafe" (Brother's name is Sean and his wife is preggo w/twins... ) Doing GREAT business and the local news is going to come and do a segment on them. Really excited for them. (If you are ever in Cabot, Arkansas - go check them out!)

Well - surfing some more and then off to bed.

Some for Dave's dad and great news about the restaurant

I drove down to WDW when I was 21, it took just over 55 hours!!! I will never do that again!!! It's amazing what you will do when you are young (and stupid!)

i hear that.

we always did the math when the kids were growing up. we could fly to FL and spend 1 week. or drive and spend 2 weeks. so we drove every summer and spent 2 weeks.
we lived for those 2 weeks.

[captchris]

Well, I am off to bed. Feelign my bed call to me, or rather my achy body! Goodnight everyone!

I was thinking the same thing. Stuart looks like he grew a lot since the last cruise.

[JLDSMD]

BTW, I come back on from watching the movie and the DIS was down for maintenance.

Hope it runs faster now.

I did some more digging tonight in my papers and found our DCL ressie from when we moved the "dummy date" on 12/4/2007 to the BOB.

GOOD NEWS!! There is no Fuel Surcharge on there. I think all of us who rebook while on the KK should be safe. Plus, since the "determination date" for the fuel surcharge for the BOB will be Sept 17th, we'll all have it paid off.

I am a happy camper tonight.
