I will find and post pics, I promise. I wrote a race report on the WISH thread that started the whole adventure, if you want me to link to it?


BTW, C, I got his email yesterday and will take a look and forward it on to everyone I know. I have been so MIA lately, I'm sorry!!

Yes - please link to it... I'd like to hear about the weekend. You must be so proud of yourself. I don't know if I could do that?

As for forwarding that on, anything is appriciated. It is kind of you to help out. And you haven't been that MIA...you were @ WDW!!

Here is a pic of all of us, with bling, in the MK the day after the race. I am the one in the black shirt without the hat (long dark hair): http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/3DisneyKids/DSC00095-1.jpg

Btw, there were 7 of us from the thread that did this. One was missing from the photo as she was with her parents. All 6 of us in that pic stayed together on 1 woman's 2-bedroom villa at BWV.

It was SUCH a blast. We had so much fun together. Memories to last a lifetime.

Just peeking in to say hello! Currently married and childless with no plans to change that situation for now, if ever. (I like children, but we just are not sure if we want one of our own. Our kitty cat is quite enough trouble by herself! ) Disney is a great place for adults, which many people don't seem to realize. I'd go every year if DH were up for it.

Kat- it might be just me, but I can't see your pics. The Dis link you posted said the link was broken and the Photobucket link only takes me to their homepage.

I edited it. Evidently when I cut and pasted it did weird things to the links? Try it now.

Kat! You look terrific! Congrats on the weightloss!

Congratulations Kat!! That is definitely something to be proud of, well done.

Jenny! I can relate to a trouble kitty, although one of mine usually ends up costing me lots of money




I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the colored adhesive vinyl sheets I ordered off ebay(couldn't find any locally). I am making my own Mickey decals for my new car.

We've been having some pretty funky weather here the past couple days, even a few snow flurries thrown in there foe something a little different. Our city had its annual flower count from Feb 25th to Mar 4th and over 21 billion blooms were counted so it's an early spring this year.

I am sorry Kris- but you can expect this to come out of my mouth......

As soon as I read this part of your post, I was thinking- (now, add a little bubble to my quote....) "Vinyl sheets??! Are they like "rubber sheets"? Locally? Yes, I guess it would be hard to find something like that in Kohls. WTH is Kris up to!!?"

I swear all that was going through my head until I got to the part about Mickey The scary thing is, in 2 seconds flat, I could have hooked you up with someone who knows right where to buy "that kind of thing"

aaaaaaaaaand a Good Morning to you all!

ROTFL Yes, I guess I should have expected that from you Do they actually make rubber sheets? I can't imagine the friction would feel very nice. Vinyl sheets on the other hand, I'm thinkin slip and slide.......oops did I say that outloud

ewww Nescafe...and that's why you bring your own coffee from home..lol

ITA, I always bring my own coffee from home!

I finished the half marathon on Sunday with a 14:34 min pace. Not the best but I was just so HAPPY to finish and not get swept. They have characters and such all along the race, and it was just wow to get to run through the castle in the MK.

We wore our medals both Sun and Mon in the parks. We toured Epcot for 3-4 hours after the race, then laid by the pool for a while, went to England for dinner and watched Illuminations, then hit Jellyrolls for a few drinks. Long day but just incredible.

Such a great time with the girls!! There were 9 of us from 8 different states. All of us met on the DIS WISH thread, although all but one of us had met in person before.

Kat congrats again on the race!! Love the pic at the MK!!

But- You have to go to the bar upstairs at the GF and get some champagne (or a chocolate martini) and stroll around the shops. And yes, the live orchestra just puts the cherry on top! We were there in Dec a few times and they had roasted chestnuts for the guests.

We would definitely like to do this on our next visit!

Actually I am still (kind of) up in the air about Cali Grill. I hear it is noisy and has lots of kids running around.... Should I think twice about dining there? But maybe if I go around 6- it won't be too bad.

I heard this exact same thing too! Everytime we vacation I make ADR's and then I will read a post about someone who was disappointed because it's become such a popular spot with families now wanted to watch the fireworks. Madd let me know if you try an earlier dining time and whether it makes a difference, if you book it that is.

I am still waiting for TGM to put his best park days out for Oct so I can wrap this up!

See once you get that info you will be good to go!!! I'm so excited for you, I cannot wait to hear what ADR's you end up making!!!

I heard the kids run to the window when the fireworks start- I hear the same thing about The Coral Reef- the kids tend to run up to see the fish, sometimes bothering the diners and parents do not seem to think there is anything wrong with it.

We ate at Coral Reef a few years ago for lunch and had no problems with the kiddies going up to the glass, however that could have changed. There are a lot more parents out there who think that it's just fine and dandy for their children to disrupt someone elses meal by squeezing in behind their seat to see the fish! Honestly people the fish are HUGE there is no reason to see them up close and if you do then leave the restaurant and go into the observing areas where your children belong!!! They should not be disrupting peoples meals!!! Sheeeshhh!!!!

We aren't having a good day -- I lost a cap from a tooth a little bit ago & my dentist isn't in today. They can't get me in until 4:30p tomorrow. Thank goodness I'm not in pain. And just a bit ago DH got an e-mail about his last job interview... "thanks, but no thanks". Poor guy! I think he is getting pretty down. 3 months & only 3 interviews, and he found out Monday he is 1/2 way through his unemployment (but at least he s/be able to file for an extension

Cheryl, so sorry to hear about DH's job interview. Hope everything ends up okay with your tooth!!

THAT's what the oil is for.....well, that's what I hear! But remember, your vinyl was adhesive- you would stick to it like fly-paper

I will certainly let you know all of my details before and after my trip!

I agree- kids will be kids- but please do it without bothering ME

@ Cheryl, how is the tooth today!?

Now I have to debate joining a gym, or just running around Central Park all summer.
