That would be awesome

My family never went when we were kids, but such is life. I can't wait to go back It's too funny that you guys leave exactly 3 weeks after I do

I know...when you leave, I'll know I'm really close!

What's up with the tickers, btw? Do I have to make a new one???

 

[DisneyFirefly]

And when I get back, you're even closer!

I'm really not sure. I tried getting to the website that hosts them and got a 403 forbidden error, so I think the problem lies within the host, not the Dis. I just went ahead and made new tickers from MickeyPath because I love having a ticker, and I didn't like the DisTickers or MagicalKingdoms ones.

Woohoo, magic kingdom day 2! Never have done the CoP, did the new HoP last trip and me and Chloe really enjoyed it, even more so than the American Adventure. Never saw it before the Obama refurb though.

Sad I lost my ticker too!

CoP is nice if you need to get out of the heat for a bit, and (according to my old manager) HoP is actually the coldest building at MK because of all the animatronics in that one small area. Not to get political, but I kept wanting to throw things at the G.W.Bush animatronic during his speech... Shutting up now.

I just made new ones from MickeyPath. If they figure out what the problem was, I'll change my 2011 one, but I'm not sure about the one for October. I may leave it like that.

I made a new one, reluctantly. I liked the Christmas one you have, but I don't like how when you get under a month it counts days instead of weeks. So I used one from magical kingdoms...not my favorite, but whatever, it works! Changed my avatar too, I was getting bored!

I guess the reason I didn't like the MagicalKingdoms ones was because they're not bright? I dunno. I like your new avatar! I don't think I'm going to change mine from Pooh, unless I put up an Eeyore one

I made new ones too!

Awesome! They're cute!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Tickers are ACE!

And I like what you're doing on Day 2.....

 

[DisneyFirefly]

So do I

 

[DisneyFirefly]

So MyVacationCountdown finally came back up. I was a geek, and I saved my old ticker coding, so I still had them available. As I like them better than the ones I had from MickeyPath, I switched back to them

So my ghostie is now almost halfway there

Hmmmm....I didn't save my old code...but I'm going to get my old ticker back at least! Thanks for the info! We are really dorks about our tickers!

I have been to Disneyland several times, I used to live in California, and in my mind there is no comparison as far as size goes. It does have some cool stuff that WDW doesn't have like the Indiana Jones ride, and I like it because it can be done in 2 days, 1 for each park. I also LOVE the Disneyland Hotel, but it's super pricey. I would always choose WDW, just for the longer vacation and more stuff, though I did insist on taking DS when he was 1 month old because we were moving and I wanted some pics of him there...

I need a :geek: smiley I just figured that the site would probably be back up, so I saved the coding just in case Never know, right? Yay for having our tickers back!

I do plan to eventually go there, I just have no idea when. Next year's vacation is mostly taken up by the November trip. But yeah, someday

 

[DisneyFirefly]

So, inspired by people posting old photos at WDW, I dug through my old Photobucket account and found these few photos from my first CP in 2004. It was also my first visit. I only have a few digital and some printed photos at home, as I've had two laptops die on me since 2004. So, here we are

Me and Pooh at DAK

Eeyore was blowing a raspberry at me

Me and Tigger

I didn't even know he was around, I just ran into him

Notice the headphones around my neck. I was wandering solo back then, too.

At the time, I worked in housekeeping at the Boardwalk. Sometimes, they'd deploy me and one or both of my fellow CP's to other resorts. This was from the week that they'd sent us to the All-Stars. I wasn't really "earning my ears", I just was for that resort I'd also forgotten my name tag

I have some photos from my last CP, so if anyone wants to see those, let me know

 

[franandaj]

Nice pics! Past pics always contribute to a PTR!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Thanks I just wish I had more from back then. I didn't take a lot of pictures on my first program I did on my second one, but my laptop died and I lost most of them.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

So did anyone else notice this closure? Mad Tea Party closed 9/26/10- 11/12/2010

This doesn't bother me, since I wasn't gonna go on it anyway, but if you're going during that time period and wanted to go on it, you may want to scratch it off the list

 

[Nermel9]

Love the old pics!

I didn't know the Mad Tea Party was closing! I've never been on it, it's probably the only ride at WDW that scares me, but I was hoping to overcome that fear this November! It opens on my arrival day, so we will see if I do it or not!

Like, maybe, shoes perhaps?? You aren't the only one...that's all I'll say before we start a flame war! Good to know about the HoP building though....I actually really like the show so it's a bonus that it's so comfortable in there!

Yup, I saw it! I despise the teacups so I'm not bothered by it, but since most of Fantasyland (if not all of it) will be closed during out trip...I expected it before they announced it. I just REALLY hope that PhilharMagic is open! I really love that show!
