OMg proof this flu is affecting my brain. I totally forgot to share. My husband has a little theater/stage fighting group that he runs and they were hired to perform at this swanky (do people still use "swanky") fundraiser here on Sat night. He came home to tell me DeVine was there!! Apparently she and the living statue guys who used to be in Italy ( i think) are owned separately from Disney and their company was hired for this party. I was sooo jealous that he (the disney-hating part of this couple) got that unexpected dose of Disney. He apparently had quite the conversation with them and even he had to admit they were cool.
Any little touch of Disney is nice.

We are very excited to hear that The
Disney Store is coming back to Opry Mills Mall when it reopens in the spring. At least, that is what the website is saying. They closed all three of our stores here within about a year and a half, so I'll believe it when I really see it.
Hope each day finds you feeling better. I didn't have the flu, but whatever coldish thing I had kept me feeling down for a little over a week.
Work, school and preschool have gotten in the way of my DIS time in the worst way...I didn't anticipate this semester starting out so crazy!
Wow, those early morning EMH are worth it. You would never guess that was the day after Christmas in Disney World!
Glad you have your next trip booked; I am hoping to start planning for next year sometime around my birthday in April. I'm actually ready to now, but I think I should give the rest of my family a little time.
We only have two trips planned for 2012, but one is a long trip, we have a new baby coming, we'll have the usual church camp and the girls' activities, and there is an early school start next year, so I think the year will really be full and go fast. It does help, too, knowing that I do have plans to go back next spring break. I am hoping our friend, Kay, can go again. I want Jill and the girls to go, too, but if they can't, we can just do one of our 'old lady' trips where we do different things - see all the World Showcase movies and things that we don't tend to do when we have the girls - and not lots of rides.
Yay! Summer dates are booked!
I am waiting for dh to pick vacation at work...he is one of the last to pick, so I have to wait through Feb.
I love the picture of you on TOT! I hold on for my life!
My girls each have only two shirts from Disney: both are from TOT. I think Hannah really wanted one of the ones you snapped. They didn't have it small enough, so we helped her move beyond her pouting to select another.
He probably won't get the week of the 4th, then, if he is one of the last. I would think that would be a popular week to want off.
I am almost always taking pictures on ToT. I usually have both hands ont he camera, but this time my left arm was going between the camera and holding Brooklynn down. Next time I ride it with her, I will focus the camera on her and see her real reactions along the way.
I'm glad Hannah got another shirt. They have some fun ones in the Philharmagic gift shop.
Well I'm not on the Dis all that much these days and look at all the excitement I have missed!!
Congrats Jill and gang on your addition!! (and although I know you didn't post the TMI post on FB, I did stop and do the math

)
I also hadn't heard Anita and Marc are getting another grandbaby.
Lots of excitement in Distown
Yep, we'll keep our DIStown construction workers busy.
Everyone is busy these days. Glad you got to check in for a minute.
The pictures of HS make me feel better. We leave in 16 days


First time Presidents Week and most days are 10's

They've added lots of early mornings so I'll need to take advantage of it. Hopefully, the rest of the troops agree

Yay for you!

You won't regret going early. They can nap in the middle of the day.
Did you see that the Opry Mills website listed Disney Store as coming back???

We will see if it is really true in a little over 50 days.
JUNE/JULY TRIP PEOPLE: Are you available for a DIS meet on the 29th or 30th of June? Maybe we can do Jungle Cruise or Small World. I want to get the most people together as possible before Jill has to leave. There is no committment for a long time - just a meet and ride. Throw in your ideas, please.
