Ok, I sent my email to DVC requesting Ducky!!!

Sounds great to me Cheryl!

On the scrapbooks, the local big scrapbook store, Archiver's, has been carrying noticably more and more official Disney scrapbook supplies, including books. They now have a whole section separate just for it. Wouldn't surprise me if CM is picking up on this and carrying some of it too.

About comparing lines, I would say some of it is also a sense of scale.

For Mary and myself, we very infrequently eat out and then the upper end of the scale for us is a place like Ruby Tuesday's. To give you a Disney sense of scale, We have been in V & A exactly once, on our honeymoon. That will be the only time we're ever in there, way over our heads. We love places like Yachtsman's and Le Cellier, I think the one in France would also be out of our league. That all said, I would say DCL is equal or above either of the two Epcot restaurants we love.

As far as the entertainment goes, I'm not much of an adult entertainment kind of guy, sorry. I said this someplace else, Las Vegas type shows simply aren't the thing for me. Not big on the stand up comedy or showgirls. I have real fun with more family oriented things. Saw Lion King on stage and LOVED it, as an example. Missed on B & B unfortunately. On DCL thought Ghost Ship was a great show and was sorry it got so quickly replaced by that lame magic thing. Havn't been on other lines so don't have a quick comparison.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALYSHA

Wow a little chatty today compared to others!
Ok I can't wait to see the CM Disney Album. I heard it was coming and can't wait to see my friends scraps mag!

Sandy - Sounds like you had an awesome time last night! and of course I was kidding about wanting to be your wife, I would never leave/trade in DH!

Cindy - Thanks for posting the dining reminder I have to get in touch with friends that are going to see if they want to join our zany group (unfortunely they are currently without a computer)

Stacy, there is this old fashioned way of communication -- the phone. Remember back in the olden days, we would pick up the phone, dial out only 7 numbers (in our area, all 10 are required now -- is that the same for everyone -- even in your own area code? ) and actually talk instead of letting our fingers do the "talking" for us. The internet has made things so simple sometimes.

Gosh, times have changed.

Sometimes I wonder what gadgets my kids are going to have that haven't even been invented yet.

Oh I'll definately be on the phone with them to get there info for the dining.
God only know what are kids will have that we never even imagined about.

I'm just bummin' my friends don't have a computer right now so that they can get to "meet" you guys before hand!

A question for our Chicago friends:

Has anybody been to the Pompeii exhibit at The Field? I'm really interested in it, but I'm not sure that we can swing (financially) even a weekend trip at this point. It closes March 26th, so we really need to figure out what the bugger we're doing.

Thanks bunches! (Bunches? Bananas? Get it? Wow - I really need to get a good night's sleep tonight. Gettin' a leeetle bit punchy, here...)

Mark - Curt and I aren't exactly Fancy-Food-Folk ourselves (Say that 10 times fast! ), and we ate at the restaurant in France last year. We didn't feel out of our element there. It's a pretty restaurant, and the food was good. The only real complaint that we had is that they cram too many tables too close together - but they do that in most of the restaurants that we've been in at WDW.

Food for thought!

Yep, all 10 numbers here too!!!

 

[alikat99]

We've never eaten at the restaurant in France for the reason. I do love some fancy food, but that restaurant just seems a little daunting to me. Plus, I enjoy some of the others SO much, that I just don't stray over to France. Maybe someday?!?!?!

Karen - sorry can't help on that. It has been a number of years since I've been to the Field museum.

Sorry, I can't help. We haven't been to the Field Museum in a while.

Cindy thanks for the dinning reminder. I finally sent you a pm.

I have been so busy helping get the new gym open. We have cleaned, put together the spring floor, taken down walls (that was really fun), and cleaned some more. The gym is now amazing. It is one of the best gyms I have ever been to. The kids all love it and I am so happy for our friends who opened it. I think it will do very good business. They are just waiting for the inspector to give his final approval and they will be in business.

Cold but sunny day here. I am waiting for summer. I am really getting tired of all the heavy coats, gloves and hats.

WOW, it's been quiet here today!!! I've been resting and lazy most of the day. Madison took a nap last night on the way home from dinner, so when it was bedtime at 8pm, she wasn't tired. She ended up not going to bed until Midnight. And, who was up with her, ME!!! I ended up not falling asleep until after 1am, and up with Emily at 7am. So, I was exhausted today. Took a little nap while Maddie was napping. So, I'm feeling better, but still a little tired.

Anyone going to be in chat tonight??? I'll try to be there. I don't have much going on tonight. I need to work on a couple CJs, but maybe I'll do that and chat at the same time.

I need to go out shopping tomorrow with my mom and Emily. Somehow, in the past month or so, Emily has grown UP. She's very into dresses lately, and all of her dresses are obscenely short. And, since she's picky about her clothes, we're going to take her to the fabric store to pick out some stuff to make her some new dresses. The good part, I bet that she's finally 38" and can ride Thunder Mountain & Splash Mountain, which she's been too short for lately.

We ate at Chefs de France in France (not the fancy one Bistro) and were surprised at how much we LOVED the food. Matt's not big on froo froo foods and wants Meat/Potato combos. We highly recommend it - and lots of kids were in there chowing down. We did it with the Candelight Package.

Amy,

Has Emily gotten to the stage where she wants her dresses to "twirl". My granddaughter LOVES to wear dresses and the first thing she does is test it by twirling around to see if the dress goes out. My daughter is very much no fu-fu stuff and it is so funny when Sarah always wants to wear a dress. My dh and I just laugh at our daughter. Whenever Sarah wears a dress she always wants to come over our house to show us. Guess that is because we make such a big deal out of how pretty she looks. Sarah is small for her age, she is 5 and still not tall enough for the rides. Her mommy and daddy are anxiously awaiting the day she is tall enough to get to go on the rides.

See you in a month.

Emily is going to love BTMRR & SM. I remember how Snow White was a thrill ride for her with her arms up in the air. And, don't even think about the fun she had on Goofy's Barnstormer.

I can't wait to hear how she likes it. Amy, are you planning a trip there when we meet for dinner? You know, we could head over to MK after/before dinner and I be more than happy to stay with Maddie so you and Chris could experience Emily's first thrill with her together.

Hi Carol - Yes, she does love dresses that twirl. They don't HAVE to twirl, but she loves them when they do!!! She is just going through this phase right now where I have to force her to wear pants when it's colder outside. She's lucky that she lives in FL. I can't imagine what she'd do if Chris and I had stayed in Chicago.

Thank goodness for a Nana that sews!!!!
