EWP group?

Hi Jen! Yeah, I think that trying to push the work stuff to the back of my mind is probably the best thing to do, now!

Hi Elaine! We are also having weird weather, here in NJ - unusually cold for this time of year! I actually had to break out some of my fall / winter clothes, after already having them dry cleaned them for the end of the season! It's supposed to warm up to 78 degrees tomorrow, but it's only going up to 70, today. The past few days have been in the 50's and 60's. It's a wonder that everyone isn't getting sick, with the temperatures going up and down like that, every day!

Frank is already freaking out about the weather of our wedding day - I think that that's the only thing that he is nervous about. That, and he seems very concerned about where exactly we would be posing for pictures in the park that's across the street from the place where the wedding will be held (?!). I keep trying to reassure him that we can't control the weather and that everything will work out with the pictures in the park. I guess we each have our own things that we get nervous about!

Is it only Wednesday??? I wish that this week would just hurry up and END, already! I'm looking forward to starting to pack for WDW, this weekend! And I'm looking forward to the long weekend, in general! We're going to try to take it easy, for most of it. We'll probably go and see "Star Wars", since Frank has been dying to see it. And Frank is going to bring his 2 cats to "vacation" at his former roommate's house on Monday, so that my father will only have 4 cats to take care of while we're away, and we won't worry about any cat "squabbles" between my cats and Frank's cats! We'll also probably check out prospective picture posing locations in that park, so that Frank will feel better about my trudging around in a wedding gown, there! Does anyone have any interesting Memorial Day Weekend plans?

Hope that all is well with all of you! Talk to you soon!

I hear everyone talking about the weather. Well, we've had two SNOW storms this months and two HAIL storms. Today, it's nicer, but still windy and cold. Some of my flowers are starting to bud. We get frost pretty much every morning still. I usually have a tan by this time of year. Not this year.

The Doc appointment was for me. I got the all clear for now. My DS goes again mid-June, we are still very much worried about that one. But, we are all well! My DH was playing ball with the boys and he tore a ligament or something. He couldn't walk for 3 days. Now he professes he can walk. "More like Waddle". But, he's doing much better.

We had a wellness day at school today. I spent three hours at the school cutting kiwi. I don't think I want to see another kiwi again.

Linda, I belong to TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly). But, I don't attend anymore because the "gals" that attend here do not take it seriously and they go to either Tastee Freeze or McDonald's after the meeting. I didn't find that exactly supportive of my need to become healthy.

I am so proud of you Linda and Lisa with all of your weight loss. I cannot figure out why I keep sabotaging my self and don't do anything about it. My brothers wedding is in two weeks. I was going to lose weight for that. HA. Maybe when that thought of "I have to lose it" goes away then maybe I'll lose.

Janet2k, you've had such a rough year. My prayers are with you.

IASW Rider, Keep hangin' in there at work. I don't know how you do it. Wait!, do you hear wedding bells.? Almost time for your big day. Focus on that!!

helenabear and Angelina, howdy ho. and everyone else.

 

[helenabear]

Hello there everyone! I hope you all are having a great day!

Wendy, I will keep your son in my prayers I do hope all goes well for him. You all have been through so much recently, I'd love to hear that you all have a clean bill of health! Please do keep us posted on your son's appointments and all. A great big {hug} for you!

Linda... how the heck did I miss that you lost 45 pounds???? I don't know how I missed seeing that, but I am so terribly proud of you for that! Keep up the good work on that! I wish I could have your will power to be able to do that!

Lisa... I do hope the weather behaves soon! We are supposed to get more normal temps here, so I hope they head your way soon!!!! Just remember your wedding will be beautiful no matter what

Well not much new happened. I do have a silly story about my precious baby Gwen. She is such a huntress. I know she goes around and kills bugs (like roaches and all) for us, and really I am happy that she is the one to find them and kill them Well today I saw her run on upstairs and then she was batting at something palyfully. well I looked closely and much to my shock, she had brought us a roach that she had killed! I am so proud of her but at the same time I needed to have Luis dispose of the dead bug for me. But I sure feel safe with her in the house

I must admit, I love this free time I seem to have had of late to browse around on the DIS and come here more often. I am sure this will last a short while only, but I will enjoy it while I have it

Have a great day all

 

[IASW Rider]

Hello!

How are you all doing, today?

So glad to hear that all went well at the doctor, Wendy! That's wonderful news! And glad to hear that your DH is recovering from his injury, too! I hope that all goes well with your DS's next appointment. I, too, will keep him and you and your family in my prayers and send all good wishes your way!

I can't believe that you are still being subjected to frost and snow and ice, up there! I hope that it starts warming up, soon! You've had such a LOOOOOONG winter! Things are starting to warm up a bit, here - I believe that it will be in the mid-70's, today, and in the 80's tomorrow.

Thanks for telling us about TOPS, too - I was curious to know what that was - I wonder if there are any chapters around this area? I will have to look on the internet and see - I don't think that I have ever heard of that group, before. I'm sure that you look wonderful, and you definitely should not pressure yourself to lose any weight by a particular date! I always find that when I do that, I wind up sabotaging myself, too. I'm sure that you will succeed with your efforts, though!

Thank you and Elaine so much for your support, as always! I'm just plugging away, here, hoping to lose a pound or 2 more before the wedding. I try to look back at how far I've come and what I've accomplished, rather than look ahead to how many more pounds I would like to lose, or how many more I wish I'd lost by this point. I find that it motivates me more to focus on the accomplishment, rather than how much further I want to go.

I loved that story about Gwen, Elaine! You never have to worry that your cat stories sound "silly" to me! I love to hear them! And believe me, now that the weather is a bit warmer, I can definitely relate to your seeing your cats "hunting" bugs - mine pounce and leap on them and "stalk" them, when they get into the house, too! The funniest is when a fly gets in, and the cats leap into the air to try to catch it!

We got a great Disney surprise, yesterday. My friend Mike, who works at Fantasmic, sent us an amazing wedding gift - a huge (and I mean HUGE - it's so big, it won't fit on any of the shelves in our wall unit!) 100 YOM decorative plate, with a picture of (appropriately!) Sorcerer Mickey on it! It's really neat and it was very thoughtful!

Well, I had my last fitting for my wedding dress, yesterday. It seems to fit perfectly, now - I say "seems" because I didn't spend very much time in it. There were like 1000 people there - most of them very impatient and totally rude - and not enough seamstresses to help them. So, I just basically tried on the dress, had a seamstress look at it to make sure that it was hanging properly and that the hem was even, and that was it! Now I'm all paranoid that I didn't look at it closely enough.....but from afar, it looked good! I left it and my veil at the store to be pressed. I don't understand why these women had to be downright rude to the sales women and seamstresses, though. I can't stand when people act that way. I can understand their frustration at having to wait and there was one woman whose gown wasn't properly pressed, but those aren't reasons to berate people!

Hi Angie, Linda, Jen, and everyone else!

Anyway, hope that all is well with all of you! Talk to you soon!

Dear Suite Mates

I am sorry I have been gone so long. Just been one thing after an other around here. I spent the last full week getting the library ready for next year. I walked around and looked it when I finished as I know I willl not see it looking that perfect until next summer. Not that I would want to as it would mean that the kids were not taking books out to read! I went to an achievement program the last day and Austin got an award for improved reading. Since not a lot of awards were given out it was a real achievement. I get a bit upset because he thinks he is doing better in school than he is because of grade inflation. He earned his award and we are planning on a full summer of catching up even more.

Rider/Lisa, I am sure that some of the other ladies in the shop were just nervous over all the wedding preparations. Not everyone is capable of being as cool under pressure as you are. I am afraid that you have had more training in that art than you deserve this year but you have had so many wonderful things happen and about to happen this year that it will all balance out in the end.

Jstmee, I know what you mean about TOPS. The ladies do go out to eat afterward and I was appalled to hear some of them say they had belonged for about 20 years and had not lost very much weight. There are 2 ladies who are graduating this week as they have reached their goal weight. There is only one other lady in my category in there and the funny thing is that we are almost relatives. I am sort of shy and was scared of going somewhere to meet people I did not know. Turns out that several people are friends with people I know and this one lady's husband has been my UPS man for over 20 years and we share a common great grandmother. I need the reinforcement of getting on a scale each week with someone else looking. WW is good at that BUT the support is not there. The TOPS club is very friendly and they play all sorts of silly games that encourage weight loss. It costs $12 a week to go to WW (without a special) and I had to pay $24 the week after I went on vacation as you have to pay even when you are away. At TOPS you pay $20 for the year and a quarter a week. If I try this and it does not work I can always return to WW. I am hoping to talk someone into starting a TOPS club at the church behind our house. (lazy aren't I?) Lisa, you can do a search to find out where and when the meetings are in your area, that is what I did but I fear you will find it is mostly older people.

Jstmee/Wendy, I am so glad to hear that you have a clean bill of health and will be praying for the same for your son. The cold air that we have been experiencing must be coming from your region. I hope we all warm up a bit soon. I am hoping to plant some things this week. Last year, this time, I had everything planted and had some crops well on the way.

Helenabear/Elaine, 45 pounds is just the tip of the iceberg on this poor old body of mine. Heck, I can still wear the same clothes, they are just a lot looser. I have been able to wear a few things I haven't for awhile. I am sure glad that you have Gwen to protect you from the insects of the world. I would take care of your insect and snake population but am scared to death of your cats. Go figure.

My Memorial Day excitement was that I got the landscape lighting all done and most of the lights are lit. I still have a couple to work on but it is not a big deal. I went to 2 MD programs today with my dear friend, Dorthea. She had to sit in the car to watch as she is getting frailer and frailer. I got my veggie garden all weeded and dug up in prepartion for the plants. Tomorrow is my day to do the shopping for the week and go to TOPS. I think I am close to a milestone and will shout it from the rooftops if I make it.

I hope that this day brought you all some rest and a profound sense of how very lucky we are to live in this great country of ours, imperfect as it might be at times - it is still the greatest IMHO.

Slightly Goofy/Linda

Hey Everyone!

Sorry that I have been gone for so long, as well! Things have just started getting really hectic!

I'm sure that I will be able to check in, again, before we leave for WDW. But just in case I can't, I wanted to give you all these links, in case you would like to see some pictures next week.

I will be uploading pictures from the wedding into albums at this link on Sunday night:

http://photos.yahoo.com/lisaandfrankswedding

And starting Monday night (or Tuesday morning at the latest), I will be uploading pictures into albums at this link, every night:

http://photos.yahoo.com/lisaandfrankdisneyhoneymoon2002

I will also definitely check in with you all while we are down there!

I hope that all is well with all of you and I hope that you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Have a nice day!

 

[helenabear]

Hi all!!! I admit I took a weekend off from long e-mails and posting I just wanted a big old break from long typings and the like so I got around to doing all my "thoughtful" replies this week... so don't be mad that I "ignored" you all this weekend... The sad thing is, as it is, I don't have much exciting to say!

Linda, 45 pounds is excellent no matter what. You should be very proud and you look absolutely wonderful!!! I admit too that I think it is even more wonderful after watching your dear darling husband trying to get you to eat more at dinner together... that was funny, but it also showed that you have excellent will power (something I certainly don't have )

Lisa, I wish you the very very best this weekend. It sounds like all is falling into place for you. I am sure you will be a beautiful bride and I cannot wait to see the pictures. However, you do not need to check in with us while you are away on your honeymoon! That is not what it is there for!

Really not much exciting is going on here. I had a boring weekend of relaxation and I did buy my MVMCP tickets for my December trip! It was the first thing I actually did for my trip but it felt great to do it. Otherwise it was relatively uneventful. Luis was out of town visiting his parents and he had a nice time relaxing by their pool as well.

Well I hope you all are having a wonderful day and I hope to see you all here real soon

 

[IASW Rider]

Thanks so much, Elaine!

You know that I will be thinking of all of you when we are in WDW, and I will certainly be in touch! We'll all be there together "in spirit"!

I heard from Angelina, and she and I are going to try to get in touch by phone next week, and hopefully will be able to get together!

We're hanging in there - now we're definitely starting to get nervous (even though we appear to eachother to be very calm!)! I picked up my dress and veil and had my nails done, today. Frank is in the process of bringing his cats to his former roommate's house, so that he can care for them while we're away, and he also brought our place cards and yamulkes (Jewish head coverings for men) to the place where our wedding will be, today. Tonight, we are just going to relax and catch up on the "All My Children" episodes that we missed, this week! And tomorrow, I'm going to get my car washed (since that's the car that we're driving to the wedding in) and then just "chill", while Frank visits his family at the hotel, when they come in to town.

WOW - there is a HUGE and very VIOLENT thunderstorm going on, outside, now! I think that I even hear hail hitting the house! I should probably get off of the computer!

Hope that all is well with all of you! Take care, have a great weekend, and I'll be in touch from WDW, if not before!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

I have never bemoaned my lack of computer talent as much as I do today. I wish I were able to fill this space with graphics and colors that would mirror all the excitement I have about the very special wedding that is to occur this weekend.

Dear sweet Lisa, just enjoy your moment and post the pictures at some later date. You deserve and need those precious moments afterward to bask in the glow of your wonderful relationship, the ceremony, the sharing with friends and family and just reflecting on the future you both are embarking upon. As much as we are looking forward to the pictures we love you far too much not to want what is best for you and Frank.

Helenabear, my husband was not being sweet. He likes me fat. Fat ladies stay at home and cook and clean and do what women are 'supposed' to. Poor man has had many surprises in the 30 years we have been married. LOL You should have seen him when he found out I was taking driver's training! BTW, he loves it now! (grin) Don't worry about your time off. We would not want to miss you for long but everyone has times when they have other things to attend to and being that we are real friends, we understand.

Jstmee, how are you doing? Has the weather improved? I surely hope so.

Angelina, you lucky duck. I am so envious of you. Please have an extra special time at DW to make me feel a bit better?

Slightly Goofy (-49#'s)

 

[IASW Rider]

You're all probably so sick of me - I keep saying "this will be my last post....."....and then I keep coming back! I just sneak on to the Boards when ever I have a few free seconds!

49# - that's AMAZING, SG!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! Congratulations - that is fantastic!!!!!! And I'm sure that you look wonderful, as always! I think that I am stuck at a "plateau" - I've been at 63# for a week or 2, now. Maybe all the walking (and inevitable sweating, in the sun!) in WDW will give me a little boost!

It's great that you got your MVMCP tickets, Helenabear! Anything that has to do with planning a WDW trip is always fun! I like the planning part almost as much as actually being there - planning from home makes you feel like you're already there! Maybe somehow this year I will be brave enough to ride Splash Mountain - I remember all the advice that you gave me about it - and Test Track, too!

Well, time to join Frank for some morning coffee.......in just 48 hours, we'll be sitting at our favorite restaurant - the Kona Cafe at the Poly - and drinking Kona coffee - YUM! Hey - did I tell you that my friend Mike, who works at Fantasmic, got us VIP seats for the show next Friday night? We get to sit where all of the celebrities and executives who come to see Fantasmic sit! Pretty nifty! We'll be sitting with his parents and aunts, who will be down there visiting at the same time. And he's going to take us on a tour of the control booth before the show, too! I'm really fascinated by all of that show biz stuff! Oh - and did I tell you that I spoke with the Poly a few days ago, and they've all but guaranteed that we will get our engagement room again, this year? Yea!!!!!

Talk to you all soon!

 

[helenabear]

Hi there everyone!

I really meant to stop in here earlier this week, but I didn't want to come in here and have our blushing bride have to hear me down... so I opted out of talking to you all and just listened in. We had lay offs at my work place on Thursday and Friday. Two really close friends of mine were let go and it was really rough on me in general. It's hard to go through all that and see your good friends packing & crying. So I talked to a few family and friends on the phone and decided to be all silly this weekend to get my spirits up... and boy did it really work

Lisa, I wish you the best and I will be checking those albums to see any pictures you may have posted. Do tell us how it all went whenever you have a chance! Sending all my love and best wishes to you and Frank! I hope you have a wonderful time at WDW and that you do get your room at the Polynesian you had when you got engaged. Also just so you know, your 63#s is wonderful and very admirable!

Linda, I am so terribly proud of you for your weight loss! 49# and still going. That must feel wonderful. What I was trying to say about Tom though was that I thought it was wonderful that you had the will power to say no to him. To me that is just great!! I wish I had the will power but honestly, I must admit, I have brownies cooking in the oven Not to terribly healthy is it

Well I got my ticket for MVMCP yesterday and I must admit it was a perfect time for me to get it. The ticket itself is so cute with Minnie and 100 years of Magic printed on the front! I am so excited about planning this trip now!

I hope the rest of you are doing well and that whenever you get a chance to stop in and say hi that you do Have a great day everyone!

 

[helenabear]

Lisa, I am a bit tired right now, but I had to tell you this. I just looked at your wedding pictures and they were beautiful!!!!! You looked so beautiful and you and Frank look so happy together! There were so many wonderful things I bet I'd miss them all. Your dress was beautiful and looked GREAT on you! The cake toppers were wonderful and the cake itself looked great! I loved your bouquet as it was simple yet elegant! And most importantly you looked like you were happy, in love and having fun! {{HUGS}} to you and I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon right now! Can't wait to hear all about the wedding and the honeyoon when you get back!!!

 

[CathyCanada]

Hello old friends!!
Since yesterday was Lisa's wedding day I had to check in and check out the pictures. What a stunning bride!!! You both look so happy!

And Linda, I always knew you were an amazing woman and this weight loss just proves it! Good for you!!

Sorry I haven't been around much, will try to stop by more often!
Take care everyone!

[IASW Rider]

GREETINGS FROM ROOM 3612 OF DISNEY'S POLYNESIAN RESORT AT WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I RODE IASW, TODAY!!!!! !!!!!!

Better yet, I SAW THE EWP, TONIGHT!!!!! !!! (And I probably made a total fool of myself because the second that the first strains of EWP music started to play, I stood up at attention and yelled out "WE LOVE YOU, EWP! THE WOMEN OF THE SUITE SALUTE YOU!" People around me probably thought that I was delirious.......which I guess I am, since aside from a few moments of napping on the plane, I LITERALLY have not slept since 5:30 AM on Sunday morning! I stayed up all night, last night, uploading pictures into my on line albums - I figured that it was more practical to do that then just sleep 3 or 4 hours, since we had to be up at 3:00 this morning, and leave the house at 5:15 to catch our flight. I was pretty sleep-deprived, this morning, but as soon as we got here and I got 2 cups of Kona coffee into me, at the Kona Cafe, I felt much better!

Thank you so much for your wonderful post, Helenabear! And thanks so much for thinking of us and taking the time to look at our pictures! It was a wonderful day, yesterday - we couldn't have hoped for anything more perfect! Everything went relatively smoothly and I was completely calm and not nervous at all - not even during the ceremony, weirdly enough! Everything and everyone were wonderful. And we're both really happy! It seemed like the most natural thing in the world. And we really enjoyed ourselves, too.

We arrived here at about 12:30 PM and were able to check right in. And we got our engagement room from last year, too! And Frank arranged to have a dozen red roses waiting for me in the room, with a really beautiful note. And just after we got to the room and started unpacking, a CM arrived with a single red rose and a certificate that said "This Magical Moment is courtesy of the Polynesian Resort - congratulations", for us! We had lunch at the Kona Cafe, then spent a few hours in the MK. All we really got to do there was ride IASW and then see the Country Bears - the place was PACKED! There was a 40 minute non-FastPass wait to get into the Haunted Mansion, which is our traditional second stop in the MK - I couldn't believe it! The Bears were packed, too - EVERYTHING was packed! But I was happy to see long lines at the classic attractions. After seeing what happened to CoP, I don't want to see that happen to any of my other childhood favorites! We had to leave the MK at a specific time, 'cause we had a PS at 'Ohana. Dinner was wonderful, as always - in fact, we saw the waiter who served us there exactly a year ago tonight, just before Frank proposed to me! We gave him a "WWWD" pin, since he took so much time to speak with us and make us feel at home, last year, and he was really surprised and overwhelmed! And the MC, who directs the children's coconut races and hula hoop contests told our story to everyone in the restaurant, over the microphone (I guess our waiter had told him that we were engaged here, one year ago today, and were married yesterday), and everyone applauded - pretty nifty!
Then we went out to the Barefoot Bar and had an amazing pina colada and watched the EWP, which looked wonderful as ever! It's so funny - I'm so used to seeing it on my videotape at home that I forget how vivid its colors are, when I see it in person- it really looked beautiful! Unfortunately, we missed Fantasy in the Sky - we assumed that it would start right after the EWP (which showed up early - at 9:00 - just like it did the time that you tried to see it, SG), but when we didn't see the fireworks by 9:30, we came back to the room. But then we heard them booming outside at 10:00! Oh well - we'll see them in the MK on Saturday night. We're going to the Studios, tomorrow!

Sorry to ramble on! I wish that all of you were here with us! I will try to contact Angelina, later in the week, and try to arrange to get together with her.

Hope that all is well with all of you! I will start uploading pictures into the Disney albums, now - I even got some pictures of IASW Rider riding IASW! (pardon the hideous dark circles under my eyes, though, and my lack of makeup!)

Will try to check in again, soon! Hope that all is well with all of you!

 

[IASW Rider]

How did you sneak in there while I was posting, WebmasterCC? Thanks so much for thinking of me and for your kind words!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Very nice pictures, Lisa. A beautiful bride, and couple you both are. I liked the one of you and Frank by the Chuppah. And the cake topper, as Elaine mentioned, is neat.

Sounds like a go-go-go so far. Looking forward to seeing the pictures you add in to the other link. Congratulations, enjoy.

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Dearest Lisa and all

I am so overcome with emotion seeing the beautiful pictures of our newest (official) couple. There were so many little details that touched my heart, not the least that each of you had as your 'best' a person of the opposite sex. It bodes well that you like the other gender. It is amazing how many people do not.

I am in a rush this morning as I have to get Tom up for the day and fed before I head to town for 'my day'. I will be back this evening to chat for a bit.

I cannot believe that you took the time to post on your honeymoon! I am humbled. Wish I could have had a picture of your salute to the EWP Group. You are a hoot.

Everyone, please have a great day and I am so looking forward to seeing you all this evening when I get a minute to sit down and think.

Slightly Goofy

 

[IASW Rider]

GREETINGS, ONCE AGAIN, FROM WALT DISNEY WORLD, WHERE THE LIGHTS OF THE ELECTRICAL WATER PAGEANT SHINE BRIGHTLY!

Thanks so much for your wonderful thoughts and wishes, Dan and Linda! And thanks for taking the time to look at our pictures!

It's so kind of all of you to think of us and to send such special messages to us!

We are certainly thinking of all of you, as we are here!

We spent yesterday at the Disney-MGM Studios and did a bunch of things that we had never done before. We had lunch at Hollywood and Vine, which was a lot of fun! That's a really neat place - we enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was great, too! And we got to tell Minnie Mouse that she and Mickey were on top of our wedding cake! Then we saw the Hunchback of Notre Dame show, which was wonderful! And then we saw the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, which I hadn't seen since 1991 and Frank had never seen. Then Frank "took the plunge" and rode Tower of Terror - he loved it! I opted for browsing through the fine stores on Sunset Boulevard, instead! Then we saw the Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade, which was fantastic! I loved the music and the floats were adorable! And we were standing at the absolute end of the parade route, right by the doors where the floats exit, so we got to see them go backstage and see how the performers stayed in character until they were no longer visible. And we were standing behind some people who were obviously off-duty CM's, because they cheered and waved and laughed as each float went by, the characters paid special attention to them, and the face characters all called down to them and said "hey - great to see you!", and since they all looked right in my direction to do so, I got great video! Plus it was neat to see the characters interacting with their friends that way. We had a great dinner at the Kona Cafe last night (you can see the very artistic dessert that Frank had, in our photo albums!), followed by an encore performance of the EWP! (This time, I yelled out "The Men of the Suite love you, too!" since I felt bad for not mentioning our male suite-mates during my first exclamation! I also screamed "New Jersey loves the EWP!") And we didn't miss the fireworks, this time - they started at 9:00 PM last night, right before the EWP. In fact, the EWP pulled in, right in front of the Poly dock, and sat there quietly until the fireworks ended.

Today we are going to spend the whole day at EPCOT. We are going to concentrate on Future World, since we always seem to start in the World Showcase and then not have time for Future World! I can't wait to see Figment in the new Journey Into Imagination attraction! I'm going to try to tape a bunch of Future World attractions today, too. It's overcast and there is a chance of thunderstorms, but I hope that we will get to see the Tapestry of Dreams Parade and IllumiNations tonight, too! And we are going to visit the daughter of a fellow NJ DIS'er, who is portraying Snow White in Germany, today!

Hope that all is well with all of you! Have a magical day and I'll talk to you soon! And thanks to you all again, for everything! Aloha!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Great report, Lisa. Love it, and your enthusiasm is catching.

Make sure to take pictures of the very beautiful flowers, topiaries and general foilage that the Flower & Garden Festival has to offer in Epcot. Enjoy.

And yell to Katie, the Snow White, when you see her. I wanted to see her while I was there, but she was fighting some meds and was under the weather then.

Take care, enjoy.

 

[helenabear]

Hello everyone, you didn't think I could go away for the weekend without saying a quick goodbye did you?

Lisa your trip sounds so wonderful so far! I feel so flattered that you would take the time to come here and share it all with us. That certainly shows us what kind of friend you are to us!! I hope you are still having a wonderful time and I look forward to hearing all about it when you get back on Sunday (well I can wait a day or two after that ) I wanted to say your thoughts about the ceremony, specifically that it felt so natural just made me so thrilled to hear that. I do believe marriage is a natural course in a relationship and it really looks and sounds like you and Frank have found a true and good love. I wish you the best through out the years {{{HUGS}}}

Linda, I hope your life calms down just a little so that you may find more time to sit back, relax and enjoy life Time to think is wonderful!!!

I assume our own Angie is at WDW right now and I hope you are having a blast!!!

To the rest of you, I wish you well and I will tell all about my trip this weekend Sunday or Monday! Have a wonderful weekend everyone
