That is GREAT news and worthy of a party to celebrate! Congratulations on such wonderful news.

Excellent Mellers!,

 

[mellers]

Thanks to everyone for their good wishes! In other good news, Mellers kidlet finished her Algebra 2, Semester 2 coursework and is taking the final next Tuesday--she has a high A in the course so far, so I don't think she'll have any trouble on the final, and then we will be TOTALLY DONE with Algebra 2 before the cruise!!!!!!!!

More great news! Fab!

Also thanks to everyone who wished me improved health. I am now just living with the sniffles, which is much easier to manage!

I've not had time for the boards or much of anything else in the last 2 -3 weeks, so it's very nice to come back to all the good news!

I've just started to hit panic mode, we sail in 20 days which means I leave in 17 days

I think my nephew and I have to spend a little less time talking and obsessing over the cruise and start getting everything together.
First order of business is to finish up the FE gifts. The printer is not working, so that's slowing the finishing up down, hopefully it will be fixed today and finish everything up this weekend!!

OK, here is your next question to test your Disney Nerdism.

In "The Hub' in the center of Disneyland the is a statue of Walt and Mickey. On Walt's tie is a symbol that stands for 3 initials. What are the initials and what do the stand for???

No Google

Pops, you are truly a disney nerd - who knew there was something on his tie? Certainly not me Maybe I could look at one of the many photos I have taken of the statue to see it probably not

I can't wait to hear what it is, and then I will look for it next year when we are there!

Hey Everyone!

We'll meet in a few weeks and it'll be sooo much fun! And sooo much has been added to the blog since I last checked in - about 65 pages to catch up on.

FE UPDATE: I am anxious for the FE - we are in the MICKEY Group and are under the name Moran family in room 2629. Unfortunately we were not able to get my son on board - apparently the ship is sold out.

Anyhow, just checking in and will do so shortly before our cruise again!

Cheers!

Hey Meller I didnt see your post, missed it. CONGRATS!!!!!! That is great news

 

[Mrs. Gumdrop]

Pops, I am wracking my brain because I think I might have known that answer once. Does it have to do with the ski resort (Mineral King?) that he and his family visited regularly?

You have an amazing mind for Disney trivia!

 

[pops711]

It does have to do with a place the family visited often, but it is not the ski resort. Here is a hit the 3 letters are STR.
