Good morning everyone,

Ok I guess I will ask the 2nd question and I will stick with disney questions.

What is your favorite animated disney movie, and what is your favorite disney regular movie?

My favorite animated movie is Toy Story
Regular movie is Pirates of the Caribbean.

I am old enough to remember the old Davy Crockett series on the world of disney, it is a favorite of mine too.

Movies were too hard to pick, I love lots of disney movies. My DVD cabinet is filled with disney movies, both old and new. No little kids here to watch them, just me!! I do watch them, guess I am just a kid at heart!! I hope to stay that way, I have no intention of growing up!!!

Ok, so what are your favorite movies?

Kathy

Good Morning,

I would have to say The Little Mermaid is my favorite animated disney film. I just love it. I have a tradition around Christmas time I put it on and wrap all the presents while I watch it. I usually watch it one or two more times during the year. The Incredibiles is a close second. I love Jack Jack. As far as live action I would also have to say Pirates is my favorite. Johnny Depp in black eye liner, yummy! I just read that they will be having a Capt Jack face character in the parks this summer I need to get there.

Good Morning all, just trying to keep us bumped up. Another beautiful day in Vegas. It's going to be 107 for the rest of the weekend. The weather people don't really have to work too hard here. It's pretty much the same everyday. When we get rain or even a chance of rain they all get so excited. Although, I can't remember the last it rained here. I think it was in March I hope everyone has a great weekend. I won't ask any question today so everyone can catch up. Don't really have too many plans for the weekend. Just coming up to the strip so my husband can get his watch fixed and maybe seeing the new Jennifer Aniston movie, oh yeah, and hanging out by the pool. I am working really hard...on my tan

Hi all. It's Friday again! Spending the weekend at the Disneyland Hotel for my daughters' dance competition. Should be a fun time. I'll have to run over the Downtown Disney and see if there is anything I must have. Christine - could you please order a bit of cooler weather in Vegas for my July 4th trip?! I guess I'll have to spend the majority of my time in the casinos. Also, could you please clarify who is the real Stitch in that picture. They look exactly the same. Have a great weekend everyone.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Happy Friday everyone

I hope the dance competition goes well for your daughter. You'll have to let us know how it goes.

Did you guys notice the new smilies, I think they are cute.
:opcorn:

We may finally make it to WDW this saturday. I hope to meet up with a lady who is on a cruise thread with me at MGM studios, then maybe see a movie in the afternoon when It is too hot to walk around the parks.

I will still try to post each day so we can keep this thread bumped up!

We are now one week closer to our cruise!!
Have a great weekend,
Kathy

 

[lvstitch]

Deana, of all the places to have to spend the weekend Did you have anything to do with that? Don't think I can do anything about the heat in July, I think casino's control that

Yes, I noticed the new smilies. They are very cute. I try using them in all my posts. It just makes them more fun.

I think the real stitch was modeled after my stitch. That dog is possessed sometimes. I had to photoshop his red eyes. I swear they glow red. For such a small dog he is a terror but I love him.

Hi Jim,
we havnt forgot about you!
Hope the softball teams are doing well. What is your win/ loss record?

Hope you and your family had a great week.

I love this guy eating popcorn :opcorn: He reminds me of my DH.

Howdy,
We just got back from MGM studios a few minutes ago. It is Star`Wars weekends right now so we saw lots of neat costumes around the park. Some were on guests, not cast members. Then I got to meet a very nice lady named Kaye that was on her first trip to WDW and her first disney cruise tomarrow. I have been answering questions for her for a few months now and we finally got to meet. It was such fun. They are on

Then we went and saw the new X-men movie. Our son has been wanting us to see it , so we finally went. It was actually pretty good. Lots of action and a few surprises too.

Now I am ready to put my feet up and relax for the rest of the evening.

Kathy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Aaahhh!!!!

We were at the bottom of page 2

That is a big NO NO

We want people to see us and join in the fun

Howdy,
Hey,
how hot is Vegas today?? I saw some awefully HOT temps on the news. They didnt give Vegas, but others were way over 100!!!

I am spending today covering wallplate and switchplate covers with leftover wallpaper borders from each room. It gives the room a nice finished look. Plus it is free, to buy designer covers cost a fortune!!! And this way they match perfectly.

Not much else happening here today. I would complain about the heat, but after thinking about the temps in Vegas I feel very lucky to be only in the 90's.

Anybody got a question for today to get better aquainted with each other?

I will be looking for it.

Kathy

When I work up at 6:30 it was already 94. It should be about 109 and yes that is hot I don't care how dry it is (only 13% humidity). We have been under an extreme heat alert all weekend(ya think), it was a cool 105 yesterday. We were at the pool most of the day. The funny thing is as hot as it gets here if you are in the water and the wind blows you get a little cold. It usually doesn't get this hot until July. I can't imagine what it will be like next month It was a very mild summer last year so I guess we will pay for it this year.

Kathy, have fun decorating your house today. I haven't even painted my walls and I have been in my house for over 2 years. One day

Deana, how was your weekend in Disneyland, hope the girls did well and you got to spend some time with the mouse!

Jim, hope you won a game or two.

Question of the day:

How many and what type of pets do you have?

I have two pomeranians. You already met Stitch he is 2 -1/2 and a terror. Pompom is my other dog. She is 13 and very cranky. She just wants to lay around but Stitch will have none of that. I don't think she likes him very much

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Whay types of pets?

All my pets are of the stuffed kind. I watch the neighbors 3 moo moo cows out my patio. I have named them Mr. Sirloin, Mr. T-Bone and Mr. Porterhouse. The other neighbor has 5 or 6 fancy breed of chickens that I watch too. Even though I dont own them I have 2 small lizards that live on the child safety fence aound our pool. Henry and Henrietta are their names. Dont ask me how I know which is male or female, you dont want to know Lets just say in a few weeks i am expecting some baby lizards to be joining us
I am a big time dog lover but at this time it would be unfair to a dog to have him as a pet. Our yard isnt fenced in and I just dont have enough time to give a pet all the attention and love he deserves.

So for now I have lots of stuffed animals around my home. If you look back on page 2 of this post you will see some of them in pictures i posted in my dining room.
My oldest son has a 3 year old black lab I just adore!! When he comes over I let him swim in our pool. I cook him up chicken or beef for a snack. I love to spoil him and he talks to me all the time and follows me everywhere I go, even to the bathroom if I'd let him. His name is Poncho and believe me he doesnt know he is a dog!!
So those are my pets.

Kathy

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hey, we just got our room number. It is 7624
Are any of you guys my neighbor???
Let me know,
Kathy

 

[lvstitch]

As of now we are in Room 8534 but I am having a little bit of buyers remorse so we'll see what happens in the next 17 months. As long as we can still afford it, that's where we'll be. I'm excited about staying in a Catagory 3 but when I look at the price

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Yep, the $$$ can be pretty
But if you want to feel good about it, wait until next June and look at how much MORE that same room would cost if you were booking it then!! Then just before you cruise , look again at how much it has gone up and you will feel much better about it !!!
We have saved a couple of thousand dollars on 2 rooms before. Of course for us, we can sometimes get a florida residents rate discount. But you wont know until a month before you sail, and we have to call and check all the time because they wont tell you on their own. Our last 3 day last month we got out cruise 1/2 price, so we got a verandah really cheap!!

I forgot on the animal question to say I use to have a Pomeranean dog growing up. I think he wasa bout 16 years old when we lost him. His name was Fluffy.

Ok, we need another question today:
What is your favorite food and dessert???

My favorite food has always been Watermelon. In my teens I ate a 25 pound melon all by myself in one setting!! I have done this more than once, of course that was a few years ago!!
Dessert is harder to choose. I love chocolate pie, coconut pie and warm brownies. I guess I could make an endless list of desserts!! Better stop while I'm ahead here.

Kathy

 

[lvstitch]

I think as it gets closer I will feel better about the price, I hope . That's great about the discounts you can get. If Disney offers a discount, they sure do make you work for it. Disneyland does that all the time too. You have to call everyday to see if their special discounts are available .

Gosh that's a tough question. I guess I would have to say that Italian food is my favorite. Chicken Marsala, Chicken Parm, Baked Ziti - OK, I'm hungry now

My favorite dessert is anything chocolate. Actually chocolate could also fall into the catagory of being my favorite food I love chocolate.

Weather update:
105 with 4% humidity but we have some storms rolling in, they should cool us down to chilly 100.

TTFN

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

There is NO way I could ever survive in your heat!!!!

I barely get through the summers here and we are only 92 today, no rain in site, not sure about the humidity.


It seems we are the only ones with enough time on our hands to post lately. I hope everyone is well, just busy.

Hi all. Just got our DCL DVD. Have watched it several times already. We are in rooms 6068 and 6070. Pet dog, cocker spaniel named, of course, Belle. And one beta fish on it's last leg, I mean fin. Had a great time at the dance competition at the Disneyland Hotel. Oh the great stuff they had in the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney. The pirate accessories are awesome right now!

I am bidding on this Mickey Mouse scarf on ebay right now. I must have it for a dress I plan on wearing. I will pay whatever it takes to get it!!! My husband is going to kill me. I'll let you know if I'm victorious.

I have serious problems. Hope all is well.

Deana

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Deana,
so glad to hear you had a good time at your dance competition.

I have seen lots of them at WDW over the years. The kids always give 100% and then some!! I especially like seeing the littliest ones who are just starting to do this. You can tell when it is their first competition.

You didnt miss much around here. It's been pretty quiet.
I still have a lousy cold and we are still asking questions to get aquainted, which I know you noticed since you answered them in your post.
Anybody got a question for today??

If not I will try to think of one later in the day. I want all of us to have a chance to ask things and I have asked a couple already, so what questions do you guys have?? Excluding age, weight etc...

On another cruse I had a young single parent (man) who was the only man who posted. One of his last questions before we cruised was "How old are you guys"?? Nobody answered him but me. I thought it was funny. He was just trying to get a feel for our general age group, but I told him that wasnt too smart asking all those women their ages!! He was very brave! Ha! Ha!

Have a great day everyone,

Kathy
