Darn...

And I thought that zebra thing had gone away.

No way! That was pretty funny sorry.

Ok, I'm there! Time and place so Todd can get it on the spreadsheet! Who is driving me??

I would love to go too.

Hi everyone

It looks like I've missed a lot since I've been gone.

I am posting on my brand spanking new computer. I came home from Maine to find that my computer was as dead as a doornail. I really didn't want to spend the money on a new one but I have a feeling it was my mother board and I didn't want to spend a lot of money repairing a 6 year old computer. I'm really glad me and Anna are rooming for DAP and the ABD trip after having to spend a bunch of money yesterday. Oh and then I couldn't get Itunes to sync my Ipod or my Iphone, grrrrrr. Finally got it to work a little while ago. This new version of Itunes is really cranky.

Hope everyone had a great 4th.

I'm glad I'm rooming with you too. If it wasn't for you I would not be going on the ABD trip.

Morning Friends!

We are about 5 months away from arriving at DAP. Lots of activities seem to be shaping up.
GKTW trip
Yee Haw Bob meet
Pre DAP meet @ the Boardwalk (Possible Candlelight Processional)
DATW
Disney Institue event
DAP main event
Live podcast taping

Did I miss anything?

I can't wait to see everyone again. I know we'll get to see some of you before DAP, but having "everyone" together is always a blast. I miss you guys.

I need another new set of friends - who SLEEP on occasion!

Eh, I can sleep when I'm dead, huh?

I was thinking sleep also.
My grandmother use to wake me up and tell me " get up and live"!

I have not done either myself. Dependent upon what the crew has in store, I might think about seeing the O Lights on Saturday before whatever they have planned, assuming it is in the evening.

We'll have to talk to Dave and see what he is able to set up for us.

And I think there was a thread or something posted about being a Voluntourist. Can't just show up and surprise them.

With only a few days I don't know how to fit it all in. I guess it's a good thing we'll be back next December.

OMG you guys are planners. I had no idea. I am working on the GKTW service trip. I'll let you know when I have more details.

Thanks Dave! I would really like to go.

Whatever, Paul. Look at that monster. Like he could be you. If you tried moving your arms like that you'd knock yourself out by hitting yourself with a muscle. You don't want that little 'ol guy.


I'm only saying all of this to save Don. I don't want Paul to kick his butt.

Good Morning everyone!!!

I'm doing alot better today!!! Not so emotional..LOL!!!

But, anyways, I was wondering...how would I...I mean could I.....possibly become someone's DIS wife??? It really doesn't matter...I was just wondering how all of that came about!! I'm sooo confused with all of this smiley monster thing...oh well. Maybe one day I'll catch on.

I can't wait until I get a new computer...I knew podcast was on last night and I was oh so sad!!:

So...what's the age range for this group?? Just to let everyone know..I'm 28..will be 29 in August

I don't have a DIS husband either.
I'm 40 and proud of it.

Did some of this get clarified in chat last night?

This is what I understood...

You will be escorted to the location (but at first I thought this was some sort of transportation and after listening to it, it almost sounds like we will be walked to the secret location once we get there?)In a cool way.


You will receive your credentials beforehand - this is great!

Did we find out about the kids stuff on chat?

You will not need park admission - which means either at a resort or after park hours in a park (which I doubt Disney would do...it would be quite expensive!)

There is room for 1500 people! Woo Hoo!!

Now the cost thing...are we sure it won't be $25 for those that book with DU? I know we get a "reserved" spot, but I thought we had to pay for the party either way? If you book 2 or more days thru DU for DAP you will get in free. If you book the DI event you get in free.

Oh well, I don't guess we know yet. The uber planner in us will just have to be patient!




Too funny.

Hi Everyone: I don't feel like working today... maybe I'll make a reservation for DAP.

Yea Dave!

It kinda looks like a street sweeper to me...

Hey - plenty of brooms for the kids' activities portion; we're "escorted" to the location, cleaning as we go; we'll need commercial vehicle license credentials....

It could be...

Hi Anna!

Darn...

And I thought that zebra thing had gone away.

It wasn't me Mary. I never intended for my version of the zebra hat to have an echo.

 

[aspen37]

Hi Anna!

Hi George!

Sorry George and Mary, I couldn't help myself. That picture was so funny.

 

[maroo]

No way! That was pretty funny sorry.

He he!

It wasn't me Mary. I never intended for my version of the zebra hat to have an echo.

Likely story. Likely story.

I can take comfort in knowing that my picture will never receive the number of views that yours has gotten!!

Hi George!

Sorry George and Mary, I couldn't help myself. That picture was so funny.

It is all good, my friend! As long as no one actually expects me to wear that thing.

I may have to bring my OWN zebra hat, just in case I am forced.

Some people around here have memories like bear traps. Just sayin'

I am glad to hear that she is doing well. Please give her a hug and a big old kiss on the cheek from me next time you see her.

I just realized that my countdown was until my arrival. It's actually 152. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Disneybridein2k3]

That's okay - I hit my 150 day mark yesterday It's approximate - we are all around the same time so it's all good. We won't string you up by your toes this time.

Thank you oh merciful one! Thank you!

 

[firsttimemom]

I'm watching you, Wazowski. Always watching. Always.

ACK! DD's 4th grade teacher sounded EXACTLY like this voice. We laughed ourselves silly through the Monsters Inc ride at DL when we realized the similarity. Well, I laughed. Lindsay didn't think it was funny at all! LOL

 

[baby1disney]

Hey everyone!!! I've missed you guys soo much!!! If anyone has a computer that they're just willingto give away....pick me please!!! LOL!!

Anyways, my weekend was crazy!! The transmission on my truck started slipping on Friday, I worked 12 on Saturday for a stupid wedding, and then got told at my job how to do my job by a freakin wedding coordiantor who didn't know what the hell she was doing!!! My boss had to come get me because she knew I was about to go off and told me to go do something else. From what I heard..she really gave it to the witch!! But...believe it or not..that wasn't the best part!!

Saturday morning(before I had to go work), we went car shopping. We found a car the night before and both really liked it alot!! It's those new Kia Forte's and they're freakin awesome!!! Anyways, my DH and I are sitting there waiting for them to let us know if we're approved or not. They come back and tell us that we got approved, but that we would need $1000 for down payment. We didn't have anything on us at the time, so we said that we'd come back in a few weeks and get it. Now..here comes the kicker:

We were told that we needed $1000 down..right?? I asked the guy about the new car and he said that we would need $5,000 for that one. The $1000 would help us get into a good used car. So..DH and I went and looked at the used cars and found some really good ones. All are 2005 or newer. We found the one SUV that we both liked. It was a 2009 Kia Sorento. So DH calls his mom and asks her to look up the price on that car(MInd you that we're driving back home because I have to get ready for work)and she tells us that they want $19,000 for that car!!!! In fact, ALLof their used cars start at about $12-$15,000!!! Now..the new car we wanted with everything is on $18,500!!!!! Am I the ONLY person that sees something wrong here?!?!??I'm just so mad..mostly at myself because I feel so stupid!! I've actually cried about it!!!

I know that this is alot to read and I'm sorry for posting this here..but I just needed somewhere to vent and I know I can vent to you guys!!

But..other wise than that, I'm havin a fantastic day!!!!

There is a reason used car salesmen/women have a bad rep. I always do lots of research and when I buy a car I tell them what i want to pay and am ready to walk if they don't agree.

 

[baby1disney]

Yeah...I think that we're going to have to do that!! I'm just soo pissed about it..ya know??

Also..I think I'm just goin to give up on this roomie thing..everytime I get my hopes up...it falls thru...so..we'll see....bad weekend turnung into a bad Monday...ugh!!!

 

[DVCsince02]

I feel your pain. My husband is in need of a new car. Luckily we will be getting the C.A.R.S. rebate on our next new car in a couple weeks.

I feel for both of you; however, I am hoping that I am not in the same boat as you both...

Car buying should be a fun experience, but as Puck already mentioned their are too many bad apples out there. Let's face it, they are looking out for their best interest and not yours.
