to Grumpy getting a scholarship and the great GPA!
hope he is having fun with his grandpa!!!


fingers cross the rain stays away and you can see a bunch of the characters this weekend

 

[lovethattink]

Thanks! The scholarship is still pending. But he met all requirements so he should get it.

You sure don't need Lisa passing out! I know I will be more aware of checking for the w/c before we head out to our destination.

We are trying to teach him to make the best of the situation. He got to ride the tram twice which is a treat for him! Though someone on the tram made the mistake of asking him a Star Wars Weekend question and he talked their ear off. Now that person knows EVERYTHING about SWW. LOL.

I am proud of him! His administrator entered his grades for Bright Futures (the Bible classes, church history, etc do not count towards the Bright Futures scholarship.) His GPA for Bright Futures was 4.16, thanks to the honor classes he took!!!! So he will get that scholarship! If he would have done better on his SAT he would have a free ride, but he didn't score high enough, so he gets the next scholarship down. It should pay about 70% of his tuition, at least that's what it did in the past, I think now it pays so many dollars per credit hour! If all goes as planned, he will carry no debt once he graduates!

Oh boy that tram!! I used to love that as a kid!! I considered it another ride!!


Yay for Grumpy!! I am crossing my fingers for him!! That would be amazing!!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and the rain stays away !!

Thanks! It would be very helpful since he doesn't qualify for any needs based scholarships.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and the rain stays away !!

Thank you! It rained the whole time we were at SWW tonight. Still had fun!

I am sitting here in a room at The Palms Hotel and Villas! We got an upgraded room and let me tell you it is AMAZING!!! This is the same kind of villa that Judy had minus the 2nd bedroom. It's a 1 br 1BA villa. Wow! Totally different experience than our last.

Not only are these rooms clean and the staff super dooper friendly, but these rooms are MUCH QUIETER!!

There was plenty of toilet paper this time too! The room is set up just like Judy's was with the L-shaped kitchen, don't have to walk through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. There is an entryway from either the bedroom or the living room. There is also a fireplace. We got a king bed and the bedroom itself seems way bigger than the other.

Both tvs work perfectly. Last time the br tv was fuzzy and the main tv had lines running up the tv constantly. This time, the tvs work perfectly!!

It says that the wifi signal is low, but the speed is faster than at home!

No strange smells either! The room is perfect!

Right now Goofy is in line for a celebrity fast pass. Anakin is sleeping and here I am typing. Tomorrow we will all try to get a celebrity fast pass.

Last night we met Hollywoodhaha at Darth Mall. She was working. We have been looking for her for a month now! Finally found her. It was nice to meet her!

Star Wars Weekend merchandise is now 30% off. We even got the 20% additional off with our PAP! Got Grumpy a couple shirts.

He texted last night that he got double knuckle last night, and in 3 hands scored 100 points. I teased him that the deck must have been stacked, lol.

 

[mommy2mrb]

great you got a better room this time!

sorry I didn't text you back last night...happy Anakin got to meet the characters!

Boy did it rain this afternoon. Thankfully it was late afternoon, so we accomplished most of what we set out for.

Each weekend there were celebrities either from the Star Wars movies or the Clone Wars series. Today Goofy left the motel around 6am and stood in line for a celebrity autograph. He got the 4:35 time slot for Jeremy Bulloch who was the actor who portrayed Boba Fett in Star Wars: Episodes V and VI. He got wristbanded first, then got a fast pass for the M&G right after. Tomorrow we are all going to try this.

Sounds like you guys are having a great weekend! What is a celebrity fastpass?

Yes! An awesome weekend!! You need a fast pass and wristband to see an actor. Today we saw Jeremy Bulloch. I had to stand outside the fence because I wasn't wristbanded and they allowed ds to use dh's band.

 

[kaoden39]

Wow!! Sounds like an extremely successful day of character seeing!! Too bad about the rain though.


Your room sounds really nice. How nice to have an upgrade. It always nice to have things like that and no smell is a good thing.


And everything on sale is fantastic!!

 

[annmarieda]

The rain held out for us! Today was perfect but very hot. We spent sooooooo much time in One Man's Dream cooling.

Yes, very pleased with the room!

Awesome weekend, thanks!

Oh I am glad the rain held off for you. Too bad about the heat. Yuck. I tend to find places like Great Moments With Mr Lincoln to hang out in when I am at Disneyland when it's hot.



I can hardly wait to see the pictures.

 

[mommy2mrb]

thanks for the sneak peak today...happy you all got to meet so many

 

[lovethattink]
