If you don't get it, the Mousesavers newsletter has been having some discounts for DL area hotels, etc.

Might want to us the link on their site to sign up

I noticed that the website links to a discount coupon for HOJO's - it is good for 15% off the Best Available Rate. The coupon says "Offer Valid for Reservations Made before Dec 31, 2007". You present the coupon when you check-in. I sent an email to get a confirmation that this means that it is good even if the reservation is made for 2008 and they replied "yes" (I am a little anal because I like to get email confirmations for everything).
We have never been to Disneyland and I am trying to decide between HOJO's and the Tropicana. We want to be within walking distance of the parks, but I do not want to pay to stay at one of the Disneyland resorts because we are there for such a short time and we will not have time to spend using the resort facilities. If anyone has an opinion between these two resorts I would love to hear it.

OK... I'm being put to work tonight... my spouse has to write a report and she's employing me again - same as she has "used me" as her ghost writer for the past 24 years ever since we met in college. So in a few minutes I'll be taken and put to the grind stone. I'm still sort of in a wierd state from the anti-sea sickness medication i took yesterday. Boy - that new ferry we tried was SMALL... and rough riding to Catalina. It was so bad it knocked out all three girls - and I very nearly tossed my cookies. Alicia let some cookies fly on the ride out. Anyway - I'm not feeling entirely myself today - but OK just the same.

TTFN!

Tom, I would stick with the old one then. That new one doesn't sound pleasant at all.

Hi Jennifer, quite a few on the thread are at the Hojos. I haven't heard anyone mention the Tropicana. Several recommended the Candy Cane Inn. Good luck with your decision.

Happy Birthday Katherine (DD Bellelinus)!!!

Happy Birthday, Katherine!!

Happy Birthday Katherine!

Happy Birthday Katherine!

DD Bellelinus​

Katherine is happy that so many people remembered her birthday! The cakes are wonderful -- the one I made her was yummy but didn't look as fancy as all the ones here. She was really surprised that so many people would remember her birthday. Since she turned 13 today, she actually asked me to tell all of you,

You Rock!!!​

That's Hazel and I, and we will be married 32 years next week(10/24)..........

Wow, nice to know there are still couples that last that long
Happy Anniversary a little early
(Cheryl and her DH have been married a long time too, right ?)
How do you celebrate after all these years ?

Tell me about it.... During our pre-martial counseling sessions, I remember my pastor talking to us after he reviewed our compatability tests and he asked us, "Your answers are so opposite, Are you sure you want to be married?"

By the time we had pre-marital counseling, we had been together for 6 years so we had ironed out most of the kinks by then (or we just knew how to answer the questionaire to get a good result )

Just for all of you that have been keeping track , I am at the 5 week point of no smoking , Ive started cutting down on the meds to only once a day and now sometimes I even forget to take that ...I think I am pretty much free from the bad habit , there are times though just for a few short seconds I wish , but then the urge is gone and I am soooooo over it now ...

Congrats Very big deal Helps make sure you're around for your kids and grandkids
It took my Dad decades to finally quit smoking (finally used hypnosis).

this has nothing to do with the Cruise, Pirates or Disney but I have to share

Friday was shaping up to be just another day at the checkpoint.
As I was leaving for lunch I saw a man in a wheel chair at the exit waiting to be screened as I looked at him noticed the small gold medal around his neck. (See the picture above).

His name is MSgt. Alejandro R Ruiz (follow this link to see the citation)
http://www.medalofhonor.com/AlejandroRuiz.htm

I was honored to take care of this man and after I finished screening him his son said that they were running a bit behind schedule. They were on the way to a dinner in Dallas to honor Colin Powell. I pushed the wheel chair up to his gate, when we got they were already boarding the aircraft. I took the sergeant and his family down the jet way to the door of his plane. As I was going down the ramp I was asking people to move to one side I got some funny looks until a man wearing a hat that said he was a veteran of the 1st Calvary division He saw the medal and the he started moving people another veteran saw medal and he also started moving more people. At the door to the I was thanked by MSgt Ruiz son he told me that when president Truman hung the medal around his dads neck Truman said “I would do any thing for that medal” to which MSgt Ruiz replied “want to change jobs?”
As I left MSgt Ruiz I saw the first vet explaining to a couple of people what the medal was.

I was able to hold a Congressional Medal of Honor with out getting shot at or blown up most of these medals are awarded posthumously

There are only 22 living WW II recipients. It was my privilege to help this Real Hero

That is so cool Thanks for posting that
Gotta forward this to my brother (he was 7th Calvary division back in 1999).

Thank you Paula. Since I get the feeling that fellow thread members are Disney Experts (myself excluded), I feel that I can't go wrong if I go with the popular choice. Hojos it will be.

HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY KATHERINE
