What's on your agenda today?

Did some shopping this AM, cleaned up around the house, and now about to go to sLowe's to pick up a new dishwasher. The other one sounds like a garbage truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant.

So here's one from the Boardwalk. I love the entertainment they have in the evenings.

 

[stopher1]

Another Boardwalk one. This guy was hysterically fun.

Got him on video too, and we quoted his little sayings for months afterwards...

My son's favorite station on pandora? My 80's Pop/Rock. I love that he's fallen in love with good music.

I've switched over to www.songza.com . got tired of the repatititon on pandora.

I haven't tired of it yet - but then I don't listen to it often enough. Plus I set up like 30 different channels. So I switch often.

Random rental car tip. I'm not sure what the other companies give, but Alamo gave us 2 StarTours passports with our rental paperwork. Make sure you look through all the stuff companies give you down there as there might be some cool Mickey stuff.

Did you rent in MCO or from home and drive?

Oh yeah, you've got to try it at least once. Then, even if you hate it, you can say you've done it. Not too many things that are closed and taken out come back... so you really ought to.

DW is too.


Did I ever tell you that she met MJ? Yep, she did. I can't remember which function he showed up for at the LACounty Music Center - but she did.

We had a lot of fun working there. I met Elizabeth Taylor, Tom Hanks, Stephen Speilberg, George Lucas, Marissa Tomei, and others. DW even refused Tom Cruise entry into the Governor's Ball at the Academy Awards one year. It was hilarious.

DW had the misfortune a few times to help "The Gloved One" as a Merchandise CM. She remembers once, Security came into the shop and escorted all the guests out & closed the doors. Then Michael and his entourage came in from backstage. A few days later he came in with a terrible looking disguise and most of the same entourage so she knew it was him.

I have yet to try Chefs de France. DW does not want to chance it. Been to all the others. Excellent choices. My only $.02 is that I'm not a fan of travel time for my ADR(s) and I don't do Park Hoppers.

Chance what?

 

[twokids0204]

Ummmm Mickey Ears?

request received - I just sent DS to find his Mickey Pirate ears.

I got y'all this dole whip.

Sweeeeeet...thanks Ryan!

I recall a couple of instances working in the park when he would come in - yes full entourage in tow.

Working Liz Taylor's private 60th birthday party at DL was fun.

Curious to your signature. DIS Dad's Member #551 -- twokids0204 is the greatest guy EVER!

Did you lose a bet?

Hmmmm, I don't see a problem with that at all.

 

[IamTrike]

Not to mention that cool looking medal around your neck.

So I shared mine over on the DDC FB page last night...

... which is YOUR favorite resort?

Lots of favorites but at the top is Boardwalk. Many great trips there including the Sweet 16 with DD and 6 of her friends. The Grand Villa was awesome.

Of course, number 2 to 7 favorites will probably change after our visit to Aluani and Grand California.

I like the Boardwalk - but sadly the one time we stayed there as a family DW got sick - and so her memory of that trip is pretty clouded with yucky memories. She doesn't want to go back any time soon, unfortunately. I love the Keister Coaster!
