Ok, I'm drowning in posts - I can't get caught up, I'm still on page 1084 and you guys are up to 1300!

So I will start new here and send any and all belated

Happy Birthdays

Happy Anniversaries

Get Well Wishes

Congratulations on milestone posts

Congratulations to all who have made accomplishments


I just can't get into the swing of things, I'm knee deep in suitcases and laundry - hopefully I get it all done before we leave. At least I know I will have clothes for dinner since Amy will be bringing them to me

I also read the mini-navigator that Mary put together and I think I'm at least up to date on those things. Mary the Navigator looks great! Thanks for taking the time to put it all together - you did a great job.

I don't know about anybody else but I feel like I need a quick summary of all the DIS'er events taking place before/during/after the cruise.

Can anyone put one together and post it? Maybe put it up on the monorailgreen.info page too? It would be nice to have a one-stop place to go to see what will be going on!

So far I think I saw a pre-cruise DIS meet @ the Solarium @ BCV and some sort of bacherlorette get together on the ship but that is all and it is rather difficult trying to sift thru 19K+ posts to sort it all out from scratch.

TIA to whomever


Randy


YAY! My 100th Post!!! Now I AM somebody!!!

MOVIE CHALLENGE #4​

Many more of these and we'll start to sound like a Rocky Movie. (Friday the 13th is up to #20 so we have a ways to go...)

The Rules:

(1) The pic will be posted on odd numbered days (since it was aptly pointed out that we are all a little odd) sometime before NOON. Several DisSers have expressed interest but are prohibited from checking in at work so I MIGHT post it early, just depends if I am working and/or awake....

(2) NO HINTS.

(3) The first DisSer to post the correct answer wins.

(4) Limit one guess per screen name per day.


FOR MARY
Yes I know this is an even numbered day. I'll pick up from here on the uncovering. I just don't feel like staying up till midnight.

Ok 4hrs was the last one. Lets see you get this...

Just wanted to drop a hello from Southern California. Marc and I are REALLY looking forward to this cruise. We've popped in to visit this thread ever since the phone-call derby began last year. It was from the thread that we noted we could call the 407 number instead of the toll-free number, and "poof" we were in!

It's been fun doing the drop-in-read-and-dash-back-out viewing, but I thought it was time to at least say hello to y'all! Looking forward to a flight on the 21st, a night at the Hyatt, and then 4 WONDERful days at sea.

Wishing all well!

Michael (and Marc!)

 

[Garfield]

Go

Angels in the Outfield?

Welcome Michael and Marc! Booking day was quite fun wasn't it? Hope you'll join us up on deck 10 for the DIS meet so we can all meet in person! In the mean time now that you've posted again we hope you can stick around and post some more. After all the more the merrier!

Yeah, what she said, Congrats socks68. I didn't even get a chance to guess! We are too busy to keep up on the DIS boards minute by minute!

 

[BCVOwner2002]

Curt - it took me a minute to figure out your smiley!

My guess on Challenge #4 is Little Mermaid.

The DIS Navigator is done!



I finished it up this afternoon. First off thanks to Cindy who was my proofreader for this. I brought her a preliminary copy yesterday and she gave me some great feedback.

A full size (11 x 17) copy will be in each families packet. However if anyone wants to print one out early I have made it available as a word document. The files are slightly compressed (to save on website space) and it will print out as 4 individual 8 1/2 x 11 pages. Also please note that it is a very large file (over 3.5 meg). To get it just head over to the member gallery and there is a link there. I hope everyone enjoys it and finds it useful.

Next up is button production!

enterance is spelled entrance

Excuse me while I brag a moment!

Walker has strugged with reading and phonics for as long as I can remember. We've been working with a tutor to try and get him up to speed but not with much luck. Walker will work math problems until there is no end, but usually all I have to do is mention the word reading to him, and he gets antsy and finds 1000 excuses to to why we should do something else.

We've read to our kids since they were babies and both of them would sit all night long listening to us read to them. But, with Walker, it's been like pulling teeth to get him to read.

So, tonight he brings home a form for required reading for the month of October. He needs to read 10 books minimum, 20 books for extra credit. So, here I am, thinking, we'll struggle through 1 book and call it a night.

Three books later, Walker is torn between continuing to read or going with Cameron to Boy Scouts so he can sit with Gary in the hallway and read his Tiger Cub book. I can't believe my eyes or my ears....Walker read all three with very little help from me. These were new books that he hasn't tried to read before and more importantly, books we haven't read to him. I don't know what his teachers have done with him at school, but this turn around today is amazing!

Parent/Teacher conferences are Thursday night ---- you can bet this will be a positive discussion between me & his teachers. I just might shoot them an email right now while it's fresh in my mind and they can hear my excitement!


In the end, Walker chose to go with Cameron & Gary, so now the house is quiet. Time for me to spruce up the place before the hustle and bustle of nighttime routine & morning comes.

Cindy,
That is sooo awesome. I think watching your child learn to read is such and exciting thing, it makes a parent so proud. We realize that there are adults out there that can't read so it is a BIG accomplishment.
I wonder what the prize is when he reads the 10 books? My DS has a Book-It program that if he reads the required number of books, he gets a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.
Imagine, now you can't spell in front of him and he will be reading the signs all over Disney World and on the Wonder!
Yeah Walker!

Chris

Gary,

That's what I get for going out to a Boy Scout Meeting
