Memom I love your narrative of Spectro. I also want to say Happy Birthday to Walt. I know I am a day early but wanted to throw it out there while I remember.
I am very grateful that Walt Disney had the vision he did for making places for families to go and have good clean, safe fun together. His ideas have ended up creating a lot of incredibly good times and awesome memories to treasure forever for my family, I know.
Great Spectro pictures, MeMom! It's awfully cold here, too, so it was nice to escape to a summer evening in the Magic Kingdom!
It is very cold here right now. I went downstairs to grab some laundry, and I got back up quickly! I don't heat the downstairs in the winter unless we have company, since it's just a two car garage that was built into a big den and has only baseboard heating. It's too expensive to heat it, so we just shut it off and stay in the main part of the house.
I am terrible in the cold, anyway, and can stand heat much better. A hot summer night in Magic Kingdom is fine for me.
It's COLD and snowing here. Thanks for a little Florida warmth tonight, I needed that!
Northeners probably don't even qualify what we get in TN as being cold!
Hey MeMom and Jill! I am finally back! Boy am I beat!!! I am gonna catch up soon!
Take your time. Relax and recuperate from your trip. I am excited about seeing all of your pictures. I was thinking of you walking around
my Pop. Did you take any early morning walks?
I finally had time to find you guys! Love the DTD and MK photos and I am amazed at how easily the 4 parks adventure went. I'd like to attempt it once we have kiddos who are a bit older!
I am so sorry to hear about your student. I know how they go from being your students to "your kids" so quickly. What an awesome church and DIS community to pull together like this to make sure that they have a little bit of brightness to their day. I'll keep them in my prayers!
I want to see some new Aileen pictures! Do you have some of the kids in front of the tree or with Santa or anything?
The Four Parks day was easy, since we weren't pushing a bunch of ride time. Just something in each park and it was fine with me.
The family is very appreciative of the help. I think it is really sinking in this week. The kids are sleeping in the living room at a friend's house. M told me there were eleven people living there right now.
Love the pretty lights of Spectromagic! It's one of my favorites!
Aww...I wish I could send you some "sleeping dust" to help you sleep all night.
Do you ever see Tanya Tucker in
Walmart at 5am?
I saw an episode of her show 'Tuckerville' and she was in Walmart in the wee hours....so she wouldn't get harassed....
I hope Trent is enjoying the warmer weather!
I haven't see Tanya Tucker. I have seen all the Oak Ridge Boys several times, though. Taylor Swift lives in our city, and she's been spotted often, but I've never seen her. I'm not real infatuated by 'stars', though, so if I did see her, I probably would just think she's a normal blonde teenage girl and not give it another thought. Except for the crowd around her, that is. I do know she was up at our Walmart when she released a CD sometime over the past year maybe? She was there at midnight for a surprise visit for her loyal fans, I guess, who were there at midnight to buy it. Truthfully, I don't know much about her, since I really only listen to gospel, Disney, and Christmas music. I know that's bad, considering there are people who travels hundreds and even thousands of miles to see people who live right here beside me.
Spectro is my absolute favorite parade. As soon as I saw the pictures, I started hearing the music in my head. One of the spectro dudes did a little bow to me in February. Isn't it funny how that still makes me squeal a little?
I meant to tell you this on Facebook, but I didn't mail the card yet.
It has been in my car and I've basically been driving it around. I swear I'm going to mail it tomorrow (I will write myself umpteen post-it notes to remember if I have to), so you will have it soon!
I love it when you first hear the music faintly, and then you see those 'spectro dudes' coming toward you.
The card will be appreciated whenever it makes its way here.
Love the Spectro pictures! They remind me of my office. I took several pictures of the musical elements of Spectro and let my students hang them in my office if they played really well during their piano lessons. They LOVED it! I think the only way a kid will like a metronome is if it's covered in lights and has the Genie right beside it!
Now that's fun! It's great to have some Disney magic in your every day!
Like a good disser... I have one.
They are near the top, along with Soarin', Everest, Philharmagic,
small world....... Splash Mountain will be closed while I'm there so I'll just have to bite the bullet and go back
The key will be convincing my husband to go before 2014.....
I love Spectro!!! Your pictures are great and your narrative cracked me up.
You do have quite a list there!
You can always do a girl trip and leave the husband behind to watch football/baseball/basketball/car racing or whatever all by himself.
As for the narrative, I'm a bit of a dork sometime. I'm like so calm and mild at school and in everyday life, but Disney just brings out my silly side!

Okay, that's it for now. Gotta get ready for church. I dread going out in the cold! Have a good day, all!
