Just checking in after a long time not really catching up on this thread.

So....did I miss anything exciting?

It's right outside the International Gateway next to the Beach Club. In and out, no problem.

We've gone a couple of times. The first time we walked right in. Last year we had to wait in line. It was a bit crazy. But, we were there long enough to get a free ornament and a pin, plus some goodies. I'm sure we will hit it this time. If anyone wants to be my guest, let me know.

Awwww


Well, I'm back! Had a great trip to NYC and its crunch time now at work. School starts in under 2 weeks and we have about 300 machine to install. Teachers and other staff are starting to arrive and get ready for the year, so my phone is ringing off the hook.

I'll try to keep up, but I might be MIA a bit

But you've been MIA. Can't you just quit your job and let Tamra take care of you???

So this is a bit off topic, but wanted to share...

As many of you know, my brother and his wife had a baby last week. Hard to believe that he's a week old already! I've been bitten by the photography bug and i'm trying to figure out photoshop. The one thing that I wanted to learn was how to add color to a black and white picture. Well...i've figured it out! Here's what I have been working on for the last hour or so...

This was one of my favorite pictures that I took of Ethan. We needed a picture for a scrapbook page that displayed close ups of Ethan's nose, fingers, and toes. He had his fingers all curled up so that I couldn't photograph them...so Daddy wrapped his fingers around his finger...I this picture...

Great picture, Brandie!

I totally saw a different word than the above. Had to read it twice.


Nicole - Hope you are having a better day.

Terrie - I'm glad your friend is doing better. Hope your grandmother is better.

Michelle - Here you go again. I remember when you interviewed for the job you are in now. Best of luck!

Don - Good luck at work!

ADP - Where are you?

Paul - You home yet?

Todd - Hi!

George - How you doin'? (said with best Joey voice from 'Friends')

Thanks, Jen. You know, the situation isn't any better, but some things are better when you've had a chance to sleep on them. Now we are just disagreeing. James wants to build, and I don't if he wants to move.

Good Morning everyone!!

I have some good news: My friend who was in the car wreck is doing alot better. Looks like he'll be out sometime this weekend or early next week.

Now...for the responses I've gotten:

It's funny how everyone starts out saying "please don't take offense to this" or "I'm not trying to be mean" and just come out and say what you say. You guys say I'm looking for attention and things. Well...why is it when certain people post about their day, problems in their life, someone dying on here, everyone else can respond and say how sorry they are and it's fine?!? But, if I do it..I'm looking for attention?!?? I just don't get it.

baby, I'm glad that your friend is doing better. Lots of pixie dust his way!

And just so you know, no one talks to me. But I'm OK with that. Someday they will. It's just that no one knows me yet. I know that. I certainly don't have my feelings hurt by it. How could I? I don't "know" these cyber people and they don't know me. People tend to follow certain posts. I'm not what they are following thus, no comments. It's just like that on chat. You can only follow one conversation at a time even though there are several going on at once and they are flying by you like crazy! So keep with the new attitude and I'm sure all will be good. Good luck!

Did you pre-register for any of the discounted demos at F&W today Lori?

 

[kathrna]

Kathy, I can't help but to continue to see the Grand Californian Villas in your signature....do you suppose that Doorway to Dreams will have a mock up of these rooms soon?

I don't know, Todd. We bought sight-unseen. We went by the pictures online and the fact that we are CA natives. My kids and I get to check it out "for real" in November over Thanksgiving. It looks fantastic though. Very rustic California! Sorry that I am of no help to you.

Hi yourself nut job.

Good morning everyone.

Is anyone (DVC members) going to the DVC Merry Mixer on Friday the 11th. It's 3:00 to 5:00 or close to it and a perfect time fill right before DATW. I've heard these can be meh. Not sure I'd put it on the spreadsheet just yet.

My Dh keeps asking me if it is definitely planned. There are free cookies and they gave away something at the door. That is pretty much all he needs to be happy. Todd, I think you are allowed a certain number of people per DVC membership. I don't think it would be a problem.

We purchased the pin 2 years ago and it was really nice. The line was a little long to buy the pin, but we waited.

Good Morning everyone. Happy Wednesday. So what are all your fine people up to today. Other than waiting for the podcast or chat??

Good morning/afternoon. I am totally exhausted. We just got back from a NJ/Hershey Park trip at 1AM. I am totally dragging today.

Oh Brandie what a great photo! He is so adorable!

I would LOVE to see photos. I just love California. We are gong to be there in May and I might try to get one night in the Villas. I figure I might be able to find availability for one night.

I've heard about these, but never seem to be in the right place at the right time. Sounds like a can-do for me! I hope there's no line. When you enter into Epcot from the gateway, what country are you closest to? I've been that way lots of times, but can't get my bearings off the top of my head.

Also, you said above "I've heard these can be meh." What does that mean, George?

There was plenty of that too...

I had called in July for the Nov. trip. I usually don't plan that far in advance. I'm not a planner! I'm a "get up and go to Disney" kind of gal. Moving away from Florida and the kids actually GOING to school (I homeschooled in FL) has put a BIG damper on all that.

But I will take lots of pictures and post in Nov. We are staying in a 2br lockoff, so I'll have pix of both the 1br and studio. I just have to remember to do it before we "move in" and spoil the pix. I don't want everyone thinking we're slobs!

Hey, did you have a good trip?

It is hard to take photos before everyone gets in the room. Then my DH acts like I am a crazy person when I go in first with the camera.

Our trip was great thanks. We also went to Knoebels. I really love Hershey Park. We spent almost the entire day yesterday in their waterpark. It is so much fun but I am a little worn out today. Oh well, it was worth it.

Free coke and cookies? Count me in. Especially if they hand out the rice krispie treats like at Doorway to Dreams.....

It puts you between France and the United Kingdom.

I've heard a number of people mention they are not worth the bother. I've got to check it out at least one time myself.

They had those too I think. We took some cookies "to go".

I think it depends on your expectations. (ok, this is true will almost anything in life) I thought it was fun, but we were sort of already walking by there. I think if there are drinks, cookies, and a group of DISers anything can be fun.

 

[Dodie]

I think those Merry Mixers and Welcome Home Wednesdays are for DVC members only - aren't they? I remember having to show our DVC member card to get into the Welcome Home Wednesday - which was kind of lame - but there was free food and DVC loot (caps) for everyone.

Hi everyone!

 

[UrsulasShadow]

Beautiful picture, Brandie!!

Brandie, your nephew is precious....

You were at Knoebels? Gosh, I haven't been there since I was a kid when we lived in Philly. I can remember being there one time, we kept riding the wooden roller coaster over and over and over, no one was there and the operator never even let us get off.
