Good morning, DDA!

I was going to say the very same thing, Jennifer!

I am sure that many of us are still busy with holiday stuff. I know I spent my time doing the TR for my first December trip (shameless plug, shameless plug) and playing Haunted Mansion Life!

I have not seen Haunted Mansion Life. Where did you find it?

Good morning, all! No big plans for us today. I've got to work until 10 and then, if Terra's still up, we're planning to have a little party for the two of us, eat some snacks and ring in the New Year with some Disney fireworks on DVD. I hope others have something a little more exciting planned.

For now though, I think I'm going to go finish dipping the Oreo truffles that are still in the freezer. I'm thinking that I may take a bunch of them to work tonight so 1) those also having to spend NYE working late can have a treat (though the store is feeding us too) and 2) they won't be sitting around here for all of us to overeat.

Have a wonderful New Year's Eve everyone!!!

Good Morning. I'm sitting here with an ear to ear grin as I watch Colby work on some of the Wii Fit balance games Too cute

My plans for the day are to do more cleaning and I desparately need to go shopping. Our vacuum died just before Christmas and a dust mop just isn't cutting it. Our dishwasher also broke, thankfully a $6 part will fix that, we just need to wait for it to come in. My parents are coming down at some point to sit with the boys so that I can run errands.

Tonight we are doing Cosmic bowling at 10 PM. It should be fun.

Good afternoon all & Happy New Years Eve!

Hope everyone has fun tonight & stays safe. I have the next 3 days off & I am so ready for it Gary & I are going to go out for a little while tonight(1st time in many years) & then tomorrow I plan on just kicking back. I was going to make the sweet & sour meatballs & a few other finger foods but Chicken noodle in the crock sounded better, so that is what we are having for New Years tomorrow.

Saturday will be house cleaning for Garretts birthday. I ordered the cake today, but I still need to wrap his presents.

Have a safe night everyone!

Happy New Year!!!!

I think I'm going to run to work early so I can swing (out of the way a little) by a different Chick-Fil-A for dinner. Erin's "competitor" is just a few thousand dollars away from making "symbol" for the year which is a big deal for them and he'll get a new car for it as well as other bonuses. I can't join the rest of the family when Erin takes them all to dinner tonight, along with her boss and his family, so thought I'd try to get there early. Erin's hoping to help as she just made their store's big goal of a $2million year - a big number for mall stores, I guess. They missed out on symbol this year, which was going to mean a car for Erin. However, this will still look good as she's going to be applying for her own store in January.

Happy New Year's Eve.

I had a long list of errands I was going to do today. I have not done any of the errands yet. I did do some stuff around here on the list. It snowed and in order to get out of the driveway I needed to plow or shovel. So I stayed home. The driveway is clear so I may try to do some of them, but a few of the places I planned to go closed already due to it being New Year's Eve. So I may just stay home instead. Plus I still think I may have a touch of the stomach bug.

I know that lots of you are Apples to Apples fans. They have an Apples to Apples Disney version. It is available at Toys R Us for about $20. The only other place I saw it online was Amazon and it is almost $40 there. It is also supposed to be available at WDW.

I do not do online check-in, just because. I don't have a REASON. Supposedly it shortens the time you wait to check in, but honestly, I never noticed a separate line at AKL. So theoretically it MIGHT shorten your time at the window once it is your turn.

In December we didn't do it because we wanted to use a different card than the one we had on file and I figured that would befuddle them.

Concierge check-in has a podium outside (by the Valet desk), but if you go to the Bell Desk inside they will call somebody to take you up for check-in. You bypass the line downstairs entirely, but you have to be escorted up since the 6th floor is key card access only.

There are only 5 concierge studios, so if you don't like the one they give you it is probably going to be tough cookies.

We have a Value 1 bedroom for June. Since there are only 10 of those I imagine we will be in the same "tough cookie" boat for room location.

Thanks for the information Elin. We are on the wait list for a studio Concierge but I didn't realize there were so few. Maybe, we should upgrade to a 1-bedroom for the 2 nights? We are going to think about it but it is almost double the points so we probably will just stay Savannah view if we don't get the waitlist.

The loss of my brother has been very difficult. There were huge crowds at the wake and funeral which didn't surprise me as he really was the type of guy that everyone loved. His 29 year old daughter did an awesome job on the eulogy. I don't know how she did it.

It is a very hard thing to do but when my father died, I had so much that I needed to say that I'd never be able to say to him. He also died unexpectedly. This helped me deal with the loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

We just got word that our good friend and neighbor passed away last night of terminal gall bladder cancer. He was diagnosed in October of 2008, and given 2 months to live. He has been a walking miracle for this last year. He was able to spend this Christmas with all his family surrounding him, and was able to see and hold his second grandson, who was born just a couple of weeks ago.

My heart is hurting for his family, but I'm so thrilled that he is, at last, at peace, and out of pain.

How wonderful that he got that extra year! So sorry for his family & frirends at his loss.

Hello all! Just trying to get caught up before I have to be off and running again. I figure I should try to accomplish something today! At least we're not the only one living on a new Wii, though ours hasn't actually been on yet today. I did get moving and spent 45 minutes on Fit last night. Still need to get there today as well, but it's fun so I should be able to make it happen. Of course, first I have to figure out what's for dinner.

Katrina spent several hours, yes that was HOURS, playing on it yesterday.

I set up my Mii on Wii Fit Plus yesterday. I came out as 41 years old and overweight. Chuck came out as 58 and obese. He wasn't real happy with that.

Chuck, Becky & John, her boyfriend, spent an hour or two on it this morning.

I'm very happy that we decided to buy one. It has gotten all of us up and moving which is exactly what we needed.

Have a safe and Happy New Year!

I'm trying to get motivated to do something other than cook and clean and laundry. Somehow I just don't want to go outside in the snow.

Tia, now I am hungry for Chick Fil A.
We are going to PF Chang's for dinner so I will not be going out in the freezing rain to get Chick Fil A.

I am going to my best friends for New Years. Not sure who all is going to be there. They tend to invite more than just the 3 families when they host it. However, my 2 best friends will be there which is what matters the most to me.

I'm going in to take a nap now so that I can stay up to ring in the New Year. Without the nap, I won't make midnight!

Happy New Year to all my DDA friends. I look forward to another wonderful year with all of you in my cirlce.
