Elizabeth, did you get this email today?

As a Mickey Moms Club member, we want you to be the first to know that we will be holding the search for the 2009 Walt Disney World® Moms Panel soon. The search will take place later this summer so keep your eyes open for more details in an upcoming newsletter as well as on www.disneyworldmoms.com . And if you want to apply to be on the Walt Disney World® Moms Panel, start thinking about what makes your love of Disney unique!

We only have a high of 67 today, so swim lessons were cancelled. That means, I won't be able to finish them up with the kids, but at least Kevin will be able to go with them to the make-up session next week.

We hit the Carters Store and I bought Noah a couple "firecracker" outfits since they were 70% off. Of course, this means he'll be a little stinker and arrive before the 4th!

I hope everyone is having a good Monday!

No. You are only supposed to feel guilt if you leave your CHILDREN to go to Disney. Spouse guilt is optional.

That makes much better sense!

That makes much better sense!

Spousal does not count if he gets to go away for hunting, fishing, training, or anything along those lines.

I mentioned it to Katie but in passing..I havent said anything to the other 2. I still feel guilty...but my feeling of wanting to go is stronger than my feeling of guilt!

I feel no guilt leaving my spouse for Disney

 

[tinknme]

I got this, but I'm not trying again

Yep.
But since we now know the selection criteria exclude anyone who: has an AP, has DVC, has over 1000 DIS posts, and I have all 3 of those things, then I think it isn't worth my time. Besides, with things the way they are with my mom I can't really be bothered with the whole process again. They should have chosen me last time. Now I don't want to play!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Does that mean I missed a post of good news that you got the job?!?!

Nope ! I just have been buying stuff here and there and had a pile of stuff--so i wen t through and organized!

 

[KristineN]

I never heard about that criteria...how interesting....I'm out too...not sure if I would have bothered reapplying anyway...but now it makes it easier

That's not anything you will see published. That is what we observed last time. I had one mom smart off at me about having an AP, so by my estimate she would be knocked out in Round 2. Well, she was! So there!
NOBODY who made it into the actual panel was anybody who would have super-advanced knowledge of Disney. I tipped my hand in my initial application and SAID I was an AP holder. People who didn't disclose that right off the bat got knocked out later on. I found the Round 2 questions very tedious, so I wouldn't have had any brilliant answers for them anyway.

Elizabeth have fun at the pool!

Marci glad to hear you are feeling better!


I have been debating back & forth whether I want to add the DDP to our Aug. trip. I crunched some numbers & I think I will go ahead & purchase the DDE card. Even though cs meals & snacks will be paid OOP, I will still be ahead a little. I'm just not sure if we will want to eat as much if the heat is to extreme. I will keep all of my ADR's & if we decide we do not feel like eating at a certain place, I will just cancel(except for the ones with Elizabeth & the DDA gang). I think this will work out better for us & at the moment I am happy with my thinking

spoken like a true DDA, Janet!

Not a lot to show today. Bob stayed at the Inn for a day of R&R and the girls and I took the T into the city. We went to the Harbor area and ate lunch, then walked to the Boston Common and the Boston Garden. Here you go!

 

[ReAnSt]

So now the airlines are enforcing over size carry on bags.

I really am going to need to decide what is and what is not vital for my trip.

 

[yellowfish78]

Anne Marie and Janet -

 

[yellowfish78]

Elin - I'm loving the pictures!

 

[yellowfish78]

Is anyone doing anything exciting this weekend? (Well, besides you Amy! We know what you'll be doing! Did you pack your bag yet?)
ETA: Bob and I are going to go see Wall-e and the Incredible Hulk at the drive in on the 4th.

Chanon,
Nice CSR pictures!

I have my neice & nephew with me this week. The kids are having fun with their cousins. However my BIL & his wife don't call us each day to see how the kids are doing. They by-pass us & call the kids in the morning on their cell phone. Weird..we have such a strained relationship with them..but at least the kids are having a good time together.

We are going to see Wall E on Friday too.

Thanks guys for the all the comments and birthday wishes for Lucy! None of you haven't actually missed her birthday, it's this coming Wednesday. We plan on celebrating her birthday in Massachusetts with my cousins since we leave that morning for our annual 4th of July trip.

I have to tell you that I think I am done with cakes (at least for a bit anyway as I have to do one at the end of July for my girlfriend's DD). I had a bad night Friday night- I managed to burn my hand (from the bottom of my thumb to my wrist, it's the length and width of my index finger.) when I put the icing spatula into a glass of hot water that I was holding. The water spilled over onto my hand. And then the Pooh picture broke so at 11:30pm I had to redo it. Not my finest moments!

Today I plan on doing NOTHING! Emma, Molly and I seemed to have come down with terrible head colds. It feels as if my head is about explode.

Forgive me for not replying to everyone but I did read everything to catch up. I think it's time for me to get a nap in. 's and to everyone!!

Robyn I love Lucy's cake.
I hope your burn heals fast
I hope you, Molly and Emma feel better fast
Love your new signature

I think I've mentioned this before, but does anyone remember the Silver Plan from years ago? I think Bob and I did that in 2001. That was $70 per person per night then. I really liked that plan. It'd be nice to see that one back again. How long has the current dining plan been around? (Tips and no tips? A few years right?)

Becky - I saw those cloud guys on the Today show a few days ago. It was neat to watch them "make" clouds!

Yes Jeff and I had that on our Honeymoon

We had a great time at the Zoo and museum
Elin great pics
Amy good luck with your delivery
