DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[aspen37]

Just peeking in again. Hit AK for close to rope drop this morning. Did the Pangini Tour, the safari, then got soaked on Kali. Everest was down when we got there so we headed for an early lunch. We checked out ITTBAB and when EE was still down we decided to head back to SSR and leave the AK heat.

We had gotten a message on our room phone that there was an envelope waiting for us at registration. On the way back from AK we stopped in to get the envelope. We thought it was just DVC stuff. Nope. Deb was almost in tears. Her boss and his wife left her a sizeable Disney goft card. She is .

So Deb has more $'s, got a little rest, and now we are heading to Epcot to snack the afternoon away. Yesterday we started WS counter-CW and today we will start CW and the Rio booth.


I do have photos and commentary from yesterday but not enough time to post. Maybe tonight. Some surprises to share. Some of the favorite apps were not mine or Deb's. I have a fave from Canada but not one you would expect.

Later peeps when I can catch up!





More updates coming Alicia. Soon. Good luck on the interviews!



You lace up the skates, eh?

It sounds like you and Deb are having a great time. I can't wait for the next update.

"The Kingdom Keepers" by Ridley Pearson. It's a tween book about the Magic Kingdom. But it's good all the same. It's neat to read about the ins and outs of MK and know of most things that they talk about unless it's behind the scenes stuff.

I don't recall the Twilight or Harry Potter series being geared towards adults either...may have to check it out

So, what is in the Oriental Trading company box?

So, what is in the Oriental Trading company box?

Its a secret.

If I told you, you'd have to go into hiding.

 

[jeanigor]

Its a secret.

If I told you, you'd have to go into hiding.

But I suspect you will find out in under 10 weeks....just sayin'

This must be your surprise.

I have been wanting to read those books.

There is a second one, too "The Kingdom Keepers II, Disney at Dawn". I will start that tomorrow.

OR, you wouldn't get one... jus' sayin'

I've read Kingdom Keepers but not Kingdom Keepers II. Got the first one for my DD(now 15) she refused to read it at first so I did. She got over her stubborness and enjoyed it as well.

Kristen just posted on FB that she was at Wal Mart and heard Christmas music and I just got my first email from the Black Friday people. IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO HALLOWEEN YET!!!! What's going on??!!! I'm with Charlie Brown, it's just so commercial!

 

[kathrna]

Anne, I've never heard of them doing confirmation AFTER school was out. That is odd/different. I'd ask why.

This is the first time we are aware of it falling after school ends. The only thing we can think of is the Catholic High School may be on a different schedule.

I saw Christmas decorations at Target a couple of weeks ago, they started setting them out with the Halloween stuff.

Everyone has heard that I spend the better part of most work days in meetings, most of those are management related but every once in a while it is focused on an individual situation. Today was one of those days.

I generally talk about my work on the boards in pretty vague terms, mostly because it is hard for people to understand but also out of respect for the privacy of the people that my agency supports.

Today we met with the parents of a young man we have been supporting for about 6 months. I first met these parents about 9 months ago when they were reeling with the diagnosis of schizophrenia for their 20 year old son. This is such a devasting diagnosis for families - not because there is not hope because there is but because it is still experienced as a failure or fault by the parents. I am always amazed at the resiliency of people. This family who spent most of the time during the first meeting asking where they could get a second opinion and denying the struggles their son was having are moving through their own recovery process and coming to terms with their son's illness. It is still a long process and will have many ups and downs.

It always comes home to me how blessed I am to have relatively healthy kids.

Thanks for listening. Back to DAP planning.

It's always good to have a reminder of how blessed we are.

I'm glad that there are places like your work place that can help people. I can't imagine the emotions that they must be going through. They have a long road ahead of them. I will say a little prayer for them.

Excellent reminder! DS has some anxiety issues but when I find myself getting frustrated with him, I (try to remember to) remind myself that it could be MUCH worse.

Whew! Where did the day go?

I get to do something new for work tomorrow. I am actually going on a building. Sixty feet up. They act as though I should be excited. Not so much. Weather forecast for tomorrow morning: 8am 49°, 90% chance of precipitation, windy.

And I still have my normal stuff to do once I get back from the field trip. So I decided that as long as I don't fall off the roof, I'm taking my mom out to dinner. So I will miss another week of chat.

Todd good luck to you tomorrow!
As for the heights thing talk to John, he has done it many times, and he is scared of heights.
As for the weather forecast that sucks.
We will miss you in chat tomorrow evening.

Your job sounds very rewarding. The highlight of my day was when a client called to ask if it was possible to turn her recently deceased dogs tail into a memento like a rabbits foot. Needless to say I was speechless. Luckily the dog had already been cremated so I didn't have to try and talk her out of it.

Scott, I would have been speechless too.

Some days my job is very rewarding and other days well - you had one of them today.
