A Halloween Adventure in Autism (11/12) New Thread Begun on TR Board!

:thanks: Thank you, thank you Everyone!!! :thanks:


All your good wishes mean so much to me!!

(Individual replies to follow in the morning... right now I'm beat!)


Good Luck, Missy! (wvdislover) Good Luck, Sara! (Mom2MEK) and now that I know you applied... Good Luck Julie! (mousescrapper)


JORDO!!! Why aren't you applying?? (They take guys, you know!) :rotfl:


Kathy
 
I think you would do a wonderful job on the Disney Moms Panel. Good Luck!

I tried for it last year but I don't know if I will again.
 
Kathy, you'd be really great! Hope you'll hear back very soon!
 

Hello again!

Well, applications for the Mom's Panel are going to be accepted until 9/20 (or 20,000 apps, whichever comes first!), and so we'll most likely hear by the 2nd week in October. I'm really hoping that I make it!

This is only "Round One." There are more essays and telephone interviews in store for those lucky moms who make it to "Round Two!"

Thanks again for all the pixie-dust and especially the kind words of encouragement; they really helped ease some of my jitters! There is some debate as to whether there will be 16 slots like this year or if the number of panelists has been reduced to 10... but either way, 20,000 applications means a lot of competition! :eek:

***************************************​

I received an e-mail confirmation that the "back-up" corset has been shipped. If it fits, I'm just going to cancel choice #1. Hopefully I'll have it in hand within a few days...

Other than assembling MNSSHP costumes, I haven't been doing much at all trip-wise. I've been trying to get our dinner ADR for 50's Prime Time Cafe moved to a later time slot... right now we're eating at a very early 3:50pm. I wanted an early ressie because Fantasmic is currently listed as being shown at 6:30pm, but 3:50?? Oh well, no luck so far but I'll keep trying...

Perhaps this weekend would be a good time to start the Disney Box. I need to do a little school-related shopping anyway, might as well start picking up a few things for our trip! ::yes::

I was grocery shopping the other day and picked up a Farmer's Almanac while waiting in the check-out line. I flipped to the first week of November and found the prediction is for sunny weather all week with high temps in the mid-70's!! :sunny:

Ahhh, I do hope that comes true! That would be perfect weather for Disney!!

I feel the same way. We're not quite at crunch time where I need to buy stuff, pack, etc. but we aren't far enough out that there is anything like dining ADRs, itinerary planning, etc. either. It's Disney planning limbo!!! :eek:

That would be perfect weather. I didn't think it was supposed to be so cool for October/early November---but that would be awesome. For our trip in December I was hoping for low to mid 70s, but at this rate it may just be in the 50s. That'd be no good, no good at all! :rolleyes1

You're absolutely right!

I'm hoping once I'm settled into the new school schedule (this was the first week back), I'll feel more like getting things together for our trip.

Oh, I forgot! I did start making out a shopping list for Garden Grocer... does that count??

Since we're arriving at Kidani close to midnight, I think I'm just going to have them deliver the next morning. I'd rather go right to bed and take care of it the next day! :thumbsup2

There! I have done something!

Wow! I just realized that I'll be climbing into that king bed at Kidani Village exactly 7 weeks from right now!!!

I haven't seen this before!

I'm going to try to catch it tomorrow... er... today! It looks like fun!

I recently saw the Disney Pixar cake challenge. It was cute - they did A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, Toys Story & Monsters, Inc.

I'm glad I saw this in time to set my DVR to record it. Thanks! :thumbsup2
 
Good luck with the Moms' Panel! I think you would be fabulous at it! (Not to mention you would then have to go that week in December for training, and that would mean a TR for us! ;))

I hope the corset fits perfectly, so that your costume will be complete! :goodvibes

Thanks for the heads-up about the Cake Challenge -- I will have to try and remember to turn that on today!

Just remember that it's 2pm Eastern Standard time... Dis-friends in other time zones, you may have to adjust accordingly!!

Kathy,

They've actually analyzed it and you do know that the Farmer's Almanac has been know to be surprisingly accurate?...;)

Thanks for the heads up on the Cake Challenge...:thumbsup2...that baby has my name all over it between my cra**y cold and the crumbly weather...should be fun...

I hope the first week of school went well.
 
... it's my first-ever laptop!!! No more :surfweb: for me!!


A couple of months ago we switched our phone and internet to Verizon because 1) we wanted faster internet service and 2) they were offering a special price for their "triple play"... basically, we have phone, wireless, and internet service for the price of only two of these.

So, it's like getting our monthly internet for free! :thumbsup2

We also had a choice of a special gift... either a camcorder or a notebook computer.

Well, Ed has been trying to convince me to get my own laptop for the past year or so. We gave one to Tricia for her birthday this year, but I could rationalize that because of all the stuff she needs to do online for school. Ed already had his own, but I just couldn't bring myself to justify the expense for another one for me.

"I'll just share the desktop with Billy," was my mantra. And it worked out fine... for a while! :rolleyes:

This past year Billy has really been more and more interested in playing on the computer. Not only does he play games, but he likes to surf Amazon.com (just to look at DVD titles), as well as other sites where he can view clips from DVDs and upcoming movies. He really enjoys it!

So, needless to say, he was home for the entire month of August and I really had to "compete" with him for the computer... and since I am a marshmallow, I would usually let him have it!

Well, it took forever to get here, but now I have my own (free) notebook that I can use for DISing!! Ed is setting it up for me right now!!

Oooh... perhaps I can do some live TR posts this year!! :yay: :woohoo: :cool1:

(Only 48 days to go!!)


Kathy
 
I'm doing that right now!!

Weird trying to get used to the tiny keyboard... I may ned to cut my nails!


Kathy
 
Good luck with the Mom's Panel, I think they'd be lucky to have you. You can offer great advice to moms, and great advice to mom's with special needs kids, it's a win win for them!!
Maybe if they're still doing it in a couple of years I'll apply...I'll have a few more mom years behind me, and at least one trip to WDW as a mom!
 
KATHY, BEST OF LUCK!!!! :cheer2:
