Are You A WA State Dis'er??

[tiki23]

Yup! The whole antenna and the topper was a doozy! Fantasia Mickey

Great to see so many PNW'ers here on the Dis.

Did they have their entire antenna covered with the Mickey balls??????? I thought my car was decked out....I have a Mickey antenna ball, license plate, tink steering wheel cover, and five character danglies on my front windsheild! These people beat me out!!

Waving hello from Vancouver, not B.C. - Washington, not D.C.! Didn't realize there were that many of us from the Pacific Northwest.

Anyone going to be there this week or next???? I'm leaving in four days but I think I'll leave my flannel shirts at home!

 

[tiki23]

I envy you Donna; I like the "4" on your ticker a lot better than mine!

 

[2belles'mom]

Bainbridge Island here!!! I do have ONE Mickey antenna ball

We go in 2 weeks...woohooo!! Will any other PNWers be there during that time?

And yes, ALWAYS expect the Washington STATE explanation. I was born in D.C., lived there through elementary school,and then went back for college. There, and pretty much everywhere back east, Washington State does not exist...it is ASSUMED you mean D.C. unless you explain otherwise!

Guess I need to take the kids to Washington DC one of these days. When they tell people at Disney they are from Washington, we start getting all kinds of questions about DC things.

Last trip someone asked DS(7) if he had ever been to the White House, he replied "no our house is kind of brown"!

I know this is off topic, but since there are so many people here from the Portland area, and you have mentioned the Rose Festival, I have a funny story.

Flashback to early 1980's, I'm a 19 year old working at my first big office job near Lloyd Center. I had a big report due, so I had to go in on Saturday to work. Being from a rural area 30 miles north, I had been to the Rose Festival carnival, but never the Grand Floral Parade.

I had to go down MLK Blvd (then Union Ave) to get to the office. I decided to go in around 5am, so I could finish up early. I seen all sorts of people sleeping on the sidewalks in sleeping bags, lawn chairs, tents, etc... All I can remember was thinking, oh my goodness I had no idea there were so many homeless people. Some people were awake and waved hello to me. It was sort of a Twilight Zone experience. I had tears in my eyes by the time I made it to the office and was wondering what I could do to help. So many people, lots of small children, etc...

As soon as my boss arrived at the officer I mentioned the numerous homeless people out on the streets and was quite disturbed by the sheer numbers of them. Of course she about died laughing as she explained they were folks that camped the night before so they would have a good spot for the Grand Floral Parade!

I usually watch the Parade on tv and we laugh hysterically at all of the "homeless" people lining the parade route! My DH always tells me maybe I can "help" them by giving them free carnival ride tickets!

Another one from North Seattle. I only have 1 golden Mickey on my antenna. I change it with the season.

Would have loved to have seen 12!!! I also have a Mickey window sticker on the side. Looks like he's trying to get out!

 

[tiki23]

LOL sameyeyam! What a cute story. I might have been one of the people who waved at you; we lived 2 blocks from Lloyd Center and I always duct-taped our old lawn chairs to the sidewalk at least a day before the parade!

 

[Diznotyzed]

sameyeyam, that is hilarious! I guess that would be kind of a ratty looking group, but still!

 

[Luv'sTink]

Anyone else?

 

[challada]

waving hello from the sunny side of the state...the other side of the mountains! (where, ironically, it is raining this morning).


Folks around town know my car w/the mickey window stickers, the ONE antenna ball (which gets changed as they disappear), and the mickey license frame. In fact, yesterday a girlfriend said "I didn't know what car you drove until the other day when I saw something w/Mickey all over it and knew it had to be you...didn't you see me waving at you?"

 

[Dakota_Lynn]

Wow! I had no idea there were so many of us! I'm in Bellingham (northwest corner).

 

[MinnieM21]

Hello everyone, I'm from Portland, Oregon! I didn't know so many people from the Pacific Northwest were on the DIS.

Hello all I grew up in Portland also but now I live in Issaquah east of Seattle.

What I miss most about Portland is the Bridge Pedal that runs through Portland every summer. I think it is so cool to be able to ride your bike over the I5 bridge without any cars around. I hope my son will let us go this year.
And I almost forgot the Rose Festival Hot Air balloon show. It was the only thing I would get up at 5 am to go see.

 

[FreshTressa]

We have just one antenna ball.

A POTC one....glad there are lots of us here!

 

[hlbtimes2]

I'm in Federal Way. I have one gold Mickey on my gold sienna van.
