Just checked my in box and I got my monthly reward for the Disney Screening Room! It's only $10 for Amazon, but it's kind-of like I work for Disney in that I get $10 a month.

what is the Disney screening room?

Well, I am not entirely sure. I received an email message sometime last year asking me to join a group of moms and answer some questions for Disney. It sounded too goo to be true but has turned out to be real.

About once a week we are given simple tasks: discuss a DVD release, give suggestions for movie related websites, look at story boards for possible new movies, etc.

I have no idea how I was selected and even asked the facilitator but got no reply. I think there are about 500 of us and you have to have a child between the ages of 5-11 or so.

The best part is seeing story boards and story lines for movies that have not even been made. Oh, and we get to help with TV adds for upcoming releases.

What I really want is to get on the list of people who get to host the cruise launch parties in their homes. You get a ton of free Disney Cruise stuff and get to have a party for all your friends and family!

Beautiful day here in philly.. high of 85 and no humidity. Possible isolated thunder showers tonight and tomorrow. We could use the rain here since it has been so hot.

Do all the first time cruisers know about the autographed pillow cases on the cruise? I was looking at some of my things from the cruise and saw my pillow case that I needed to get framed.

I was going to have them sign a white matte and then put a photo of the trip in it afterwards. You would think that wouldn't be a big deal since we do have a photography business. But it got to be the week of and I didn't have a matte. And I had SO MANY things to pack and worry about for the 4 of us that I decided to just let that one go! Maybe next time!

It was rough packing for two little ones and DH and one of mine was still in diapers (the children that is) That's another reason why I'm glad to wait until 2009 to cruise again. Not that I'm sure it's gonna get any easier!

Melanie, It may be hard but you'll be glad you traveled with them. My boys travel like seasoned adults. (Well, at least I think so.)

Chuck, Nice pictures of AKL. My daughter, Stephanie, myself and the boys all agree that the DAK Lodge was our favorite but other than one time when Stephanie, a cast member at the time, had 75 percent off the deluxe resorts! We stayed at the DAK and Yacht Club that time. To much $$ for us. Heck, I have reservations in August for a preferred room at the ASSports for out-the-door price of $64/night!

Hi Greg! It's one of the value resorts on property at WDW. I get extra good rates--most of the time because I'm in the (been there) over 100X club! And no it isn't one of the 15 minute hotels! or an all-nude resort

wow...that's a great rate for all star....can't beat that compared to the AKL. Since our time share is the AKV we tend to stay there, it's easier to get a reservation since we can book 11 months out. We would like to try Wilderness lodge but there is never an opening.
