I hope so too!I love the Little Mermaid!It is the Disney movie I remember watching over and over again when I was 10 or 11. I have the soundtrack that I play in my classroom. I really hope they do a traveling show (and that it comes someplace close to me).
Oh I understand wanting to wait to start it. I won't start one until I know for sure that it's happening. Oh yes! I do remember that Portland channel that showed the old Disney movies. Yes, those older ones were the ones my Dad actually didn't mind watching. Sometimes for Christmas I give him the ones that he used to watch as a kid.I am all caught up. I will do a PTR when I know for sure that we are going. It is 99% sure but I am just waiting to see if my dh's vacation is approved. It should be (I hope so I already bought plane tickets) but I don't want to start it then have to cancel it. I love the list of your favorite characters. Alexia and I watched both Caseys yesterday. She wanted more.
I love old disney cartoons, much better than the new ones, though I do like Phineas and Ferb. I balled the first time (and still do) I saw Pollyanna. Do you remember when the ABC channel out of Portland used to show the old Disney movies after school? We used to love watching those. During the winter every weekend my dad would go and rent the old Disney movies and we used to watch them all together. Those are some good memories.
Oh I am so jealous that you got to see it!! That is too cute about your neice and her love for Ursula. Hehehe. I didn't realize they had a Shrek show! Cool.You should try to get a chance to see the Little Mermaid on Broadway. I just went last weekend with the family for my mother's birthday. It was wonderful. I think that I liked Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King a bit better but Mermaid was still wonderful. If you check out broadwaybox.com you can see if they have any discounts running for it. We had seats in the mid mezzinine section and they were great. We had a wonderful view of the entire stage.
The woman who plays Ursula was wonderful, as was Sebastian. They made Ursula Ariel's aunt in the Broadway version, so now my nieces keep calling me Aunt Ursula.Even when she was younger, about 3 or so, when we saw the Little Mermaid show at DHS, the rest of the kids would be screaming when Ursula came out, and she'd be clapping up a storm. She's a little odd sometimes.
Next week we were going to take the girls to see Mary Poppins to celebrate their birthdays, but they don't have any good discount codes running for the matinee shows. I think we are going to see Shrek instead, which is supposed to be pretty good. I'll just have to see Mary Poppins by myself.
Oh yes...I can imagine a Grandmother doing that. I can also imagine her skipping your bridal shower and wedding and giving all the other grandchildren presents for Christmas except you, oh and I can imagine her favoring your brother and always telling you that he was the better kid. Yep. I can imagine.
I dont think you are heartless at all. In fact I totally get what you are saying. Both my grandmothers were very sweet women, however, DH has one that is the same way.
Now that she is older and in bad health he has tried giving her the benefit of the doubt and tried being nice. Although some days she does not know who you are on the days she does she will look straight at you and say "You sure have gotten fat." this was normal for her in the past before the dementia. Unfortonately, the dementia has not made her any nicer.
As a child she would send my DH two sisters and his Mom a Christmas gift and not send DH anything because she just didnt like him. Can you imagine a Grandmother doing that.
Mean little lady, thats all I have to say.
In fact, my mom went to visit her this weekend, an activity I do not endorse and she had to commentate on my life to my mother. I was married and divorced a few years ago and she still doesn't understand why...the woman who is on her THIRD husband. Okay. I'm done now. 
I want to be a southern belle, my other grandmother the non-Ursula one is from Texas and I swear I was meant to live in the South. If only I could convince Marc to move!Hey LL:
I don't know how I got soooooo far behind on your PTR, but I did. I am so excited that you are staying an extra night. 6 nights is so perfect. I know you are going to love POR. That was my first on site Disney stay and I have very fond memories of it. I can definately see you staying in one of the mansions cause you have that whole southern belle look going on (even if you are a northerner).
I have no suggestions on your plans and ADR's. Everything sounds great to me and I can't wait to read your final itinerary.
I hope you have a less hectic week this week!
It is good to know what is going on! I love the look of the mansions, they seem so magical.We will be there almost the exact same time, we get in on 9/26 and leave 10/3! I am glad you posted your thoughts on your schedule because I didn't realize EMHs had changed until I read some of the comments. I don't think it's going to change my plans, but it is good to know.
I love
Oooh! Maybe we can work something out. It's going to be TOUGH though. I was looking at my calendar and don't know when I would fit it in.
Yep, my grandmother is mean too. Oh I love the Gilmore Girls...I can't imagine having Emily Gilmore as a grandmother but I've always loved the show!Soo sad about the Little Mermaid on Broadway !!I, too, was also hoping to see it someday.... I know we won't be out by August though because there is a Red Sox game we need to go to and I think you know which one is more important to my DH!
As someone who never got a good chance to know either of my grandmothers, I think it is downright deplorable that she is living and is incapable of having a good relationship with you! Your Ursula comparison had me cracking up though!
Hope you get to see it, doesn't look like I'll be able to make it...unless we do a MA carpool!!
