Good thoughts for all.

Please keep the firefighter and his family, both real and fire family in your prayers..and the poor firefighter that hit him with the truck.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes for Garrett!

Elin loving your pictures!

Elizabeth good luck with the school project

Anne Marie I hope you can make the 40% discount work for you somehow

Elin- Great pictures!

Beings his birthday is so late in the school year, he will not start that till school starts back up after summer.

I forgot their are states that let people get a permit at 15. In PA you must be 16 to get a permit. Then you must have your permit for at least 6 months, and have documented at least 50 hours behind the wheel before you can take your behind the wheel driving test.

Happy Birthday Garret!

My brother called me today asking about the discounts Disney is offering right now. He said he was thinking of going Mar. 1st - 5th. I told him Gary & I were planning on going the 4th - 11th. My brother is now booked for the same time frame with the 4/3 deal

I have not been to Disney with my brother since 2000, so I am really looking forward to this. We won't spend all of our time together, but we will share a few meals. He also has a new girlfriend & she is a Disney nut just like the rest of us

He was thinking of driving, but after I told him how much flights were he realized that it would be cheaper to fly. So if he does this we will all be on the same flights as well!

December 23 was our day for AK. We had an 11:55 ADR at Tusker House. We had not eaten there since it had become a buffet and we were looking forward to it. It did not disappoint! We will definitely go back again. We skipped breakfast that morning and I was at AK at rope drop. I headed right back to ride the Safari and grabbed a FP for a return ride later with Bob. After I rode the first Safari of the day I got a cup of coffee and sat in the sun for 15 minutes until I could get another FP for the Safari.

I headed over to Expedition Everest and rode it for the very first time. I was fortunate to be in line with two young couples who were very friendly. One of the women was an ex-CM on that ride and she talked to us about some of the things that we might not know. It passed the time and I got to ride in the seat next to her since one of the young men scooted out through the chicken exit at the last minute.

I met Bob at Tusker House after strolling through the park a little, taking pictures as I went. We had a great meal and then used our FPs for a second Safari of the day.

We went back to POFQ late in the afternoon and I decided to run over to the MK to see the Castle lighting. I had also hoped to see the Osborne Lights but it wasn't to happen. Not that night or any other during the trip. I Just plumb ran out of time!

When I got back to POFQ Bob and I grabbed a pizza and a beer at the food court and I literally fell asleep while we were eating. Bob packed up the leftovers and escorted me back to the room where I promptly changed into my PJs and went to bed.

This was another great relaxing day and we were looking forward to the girls' arrival the next day.

He doesn't like vanilla BEAN, just vanilla. I like vanilla bean.

Janet - How nice that you will get to spend some time with your brother!

So I mentioned yesterday that we hadn't received our '09 dues statement from DVC. We got it today. We have some sort of property tax credit so our dues are even lower than I thought they would be.

This was a nice surprise to find in the Orlando Sentinel. A fellow DISer, I cruised with Andrew (Alanapapa) and his wife Carolyn (Caropooh) and their two girls on the Panama Canal Repo cruise got in the Sentinel. Andrew got the first free admission for the Birthday promo. It truly is a small world.

Magic Kingdom guest 1st in nation to receive free Disney admission in '09

Seattle, Wash., resident Andrew DaCosta enters the Magic Kingdom on New Year's Day morning as the first person in the country to receive free admission to a Disney theme Park in 2009 as part of Disney's "What Will You Celebrate?" campaign. (Preston Mack, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts)

Using an oversized park ticket created for the occasion, Seattle, Wash., resident Andrew DaCosta (in hat) entered Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom this morning as the first person in the nation to receive free admission to a Disney theme park on a birthday, as part of Disney's "What Will You Celebrate?" campaign.

DaCosta, who turns 49 today, redeemed his "free on your birthday" registration at a Magic Kingdom Guest Relations window at 7:31 a.m. Then he, his wife, Carolyn, and their daughters, Alana and Kathryn, then entered the Magic Kingdom when the park opened at 9 a.m.

In addition to offering free admission to everyone who visits a Disney World or Disneyland theme park on a birthday in 2009, the company's "What Will You Celebrate?" promotion features new theme-park entertainment, added celebration experiences and other attractions and activities geared toward celebrations. The campaign aims to encourage people to take "celebration vacations" for annual milestones, such as birthdays, honeymoons and anniversaries, at both U.S. vacation resorts.

That is so nice of you. I'm sure she will appreciate it

We had a good time. That is what I ended up doing as well as doing an inventory of their liquor downstairs, changing the curtains in the kitchen and her bedroom and a couple of other miscellaneous things. I always enjoy going over there and helping her out. It's hard to believe that we spent the 1st 10 years of my marriage not really getting along.
