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

[sshaw10060]

I have not gone in store on Black Friday for years. Do my shopping on line. I am planning on driving to Williamsburg again this year on Black Friday. Great Williamsburg weekend.

Black friday is spent making sure the Chirstmas display is ready to go for lights on at 5:30pm. Not enough money to get me to the mall that day.

Spent the morning preparing for a Board of Overseers presentation this afternoon. I rarely get nervous before speaking, but this group of people always makes me a little nervous.

Good luck with your presentation this afternoon Scott. I know the feeling - some groups just get to you more than others.

I avoid the stores on BF also. When I worked in the cities, I would leave early and hit the 4-5 am openings on my way in, but not anymore. Online is the way to go!

Those of you who aren't having to wait for John the Genius to release the registration -- if you've registered for DAP already --- was the registration only for the main event, or was there info about the Friday event and the opportunity to register for that as well? I'm not sure I'd be comfortable registering/paying for speakers etc. when I won't know who/what it will be - so I'm curious. (I know, I know... it will be amazing and the whole team is psyched about who it may be.)

What are Zhu Zhu pets?? No kids in the house these days keeps me out of the loop.

Zhu Zhu pets are 4 different hamsters that squeak and make noises, then you have to buy the acessories (tunnels, car, ball, ect) and they move through the tunnels and such like real hamsters. The good thing is, they are not expensvie, the hamsters themsevles are $8 each and the acessories are between $10-$15, however, they aren't in stock anywhere.

While I don't do BF, I do get out early on the day after Christmas when all the decorations are marked 50% off.

I agree!

Dodie, there was no additional information on the form regarding the speakers. There was a place to check off if you were interested in going to that seminar and the podcast taping, so they could figure an approx. number of people who were interested, but nothing else.

Around here - the lines for the stores start several hours before the opening time. Total zoo!

The outlet mall near me has opened at midnight for the past several years. It has shut the highway down because the parking lots were full, people were parking on the shoulder and anywhere they could.

There have also been several assualts with people getting angry over not winning prizes.

Hi Friends!

What's everyone up to today? I just had a parent meeting and am now on lunch. It's hit as heck in my room too. Grrr.

I love going out on Black Friday... It's so much fun

Thank's for the explanation, I will not have my eye for these and pick a few up if I see them to help the DIS Santa's

Sitting here drinking my tea... thinking about tea at DAP. My simple home brewed tea just does not compare.

Drinking hot tea today. Never thought to do a mint tea in my iced tea maker. I'm not much for sweet though - just a smidge please.

I am terrified I will look away and they will post the link. I hate being behind the curve. Although it sounds like everyone that wants is going to be able to go. I bet they give details in tomorrows Podcast.

My husband used to make me hot mint tea when I was sick. When we were on our honeymoon, we ate at the restaurant in Morocco and when we saw mint tea on the menu, we ordered it, but they offered it either hot or iced...so with it being hot as heck outside, we ordered it iced...it was wonderful...I keep mint tea in the pantry and usually have a pitcher of sweetened mint tea in the fridge.

My fridge is always stocked with Diet Coke

I am the only real tea drinker in the family. I love ice tea made with Lady Grey. This is what they used several years ago at Rose and Crown. I am not sure if they are still using it or not. Very lightly floral.

That's nice of you, I'm looking at it as an adventure. This reminds me of when I was younger and my mother was trying to find me a Cabbage Patch doll for Christmas!
