[staley7580]

Matterhorn, your ticker is strangely blank!

Staley, your 2 year old can ride Jellyfish? Wow! I've read that their measuring stick is taller than the other 40" measuring sticks. DS grew tall, fast, and now that his height has slowed down, we're having a hard time that he's not yet 40" at almost 3.5!

Heck yeah!! My baby is a freakin moose...This is her with her 5 and a half yo bother... She is just 40 inches tall... My ds was just 42 inches tall on our first trip last October! Oh, and I might add that she weighs more than her brother!

 

[bumbershoot]

Oh I've seen that picture! Yes, she is very very tall.

Aw look at the curls on both of them...sooooo cute.

[mommaU4]

Beth, where are you at? I am in Vegas too and obviously and AP holder!! I go quite a bit, I am sure we will cross paths one time!! Staley and I are good friends that have met IRL and I would love to go but the timeframe doesn't work for me either!! Can't go to DL without kids over one of the kids birthdays, that's just mean!!! right??? LOL!

Anyways, I am over in Green Valley!!!

Andrea

Hi there Andrea! I'm on the opposite side of you. Closer to Summerlin. Ever heard of the Boca Park shopping area? We aren't far from that.
There's another Vegas gal on here too who's going! She's out your way.

As for the birthday, well, I'm a bad influence because all I have to say is that birthday's don't always have to be celebrated on the exact day..... And a nice big party with a few extra gifts might make up for mom being away for a few short days.

I'm just sayin....

Seriously, that's too bad you can't make it! I think it's going to be a blast. And I'd get to meet another Las Vegan.

BTW, I noticed your ticker!! We were supposed to be at the Grand I think the same time as your trip, December 12-15 or we might have overlapped. We had to change it to beginning of December because of my mom! (she's paying so I don't argue) but also because that means DD won't have to miss her Christmas musical at school so I am glad about that!

Andrea

Oh darn! I seem to be just missing everyone on this trip. But hey, if mom's paying, your right, you don't argue!

 

[mommaU4]

I know... My cuties!!! but on the downside... You know how people carry their babies? Not with this kid!

Awww, I love that pic!! How cute they are!!

2. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be and how long would it take you to spend the $10,000?
Target! I LOVE Target more than life itself.

18. What is your favorite reality tv show?
The Girls Next Door.

Hi Ashley! Okay, we are going to get along just fine! LOL I LOVE Target!! I've been known to spend hours in there!!

And it's funny you should mention the Girls Next Door. DH and I didn't watch it from the start, but we did catch it in reruns and it's sort of addicting! LOL That cat Gizmo cracks me up.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Hi everyone!

I haven't been able to keep up with this thread. LoL,

But, thanks for posting the quiz again, disneycutie84. Here are my answers.



1. What's your favorite ride at Disneyland and at California Adventure?
Pirates of the Caribbean. There are other rides that are more fun and exciting, but if I were to pick the one ride, it would be Pirates because it epitomizes Walt Disney's goal in immersing each guest in the experience of the attraction.

2. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be and how long would it take you to spend the $10,000?
Levitz -- lol. And I would spend the money to buy new furniture for our house.

3. If money were not an object, what would you do with your life?
I would travel a lot, and I would volunteer at our local Catholic school as a teacher.

4. Which tv/movie/radio star would you most like to meet in person?
I don't really need or want to meet any public person. There are a lot of interesting people who are not in the spotlight that I enjoy meeting and talking to.


5. What's your favorite book?
Watchers by Dean Koontz, but I also loved a book called Knight in Shining Armour by Jude Deveraux (the romantic in me). I also really enjoyed all of the Harry Potter books. Great reading.


6. What is the weirdest thing you will ever admit to having done in the past?
Weird is always a matter of perspective. I think some people I know think I'm weird for forming friendships with people I mostly know through the Internet.


7. What song best describes you when you first wake up in the morning?
Good morning, Sunshine.


8. What place in the US would you most like to visit? Why?
Place I have been before: Yosemite. It's my favorite place in the World.
Place I have never been before: New York. I think it's fascinating, and would love to see a show on Broadway, and see the sights there.


9. What place outside of the US would you most like to visit? Why?
Place that I have been before: Spain, because I have family there, and it is very special to me.
Place I haven't been before: The Holy Land, because a simple man who lived there changed the world, and I enjoy seeing historical spots.

10. Coke or Pepsi?
Pepsi

11. Is your calendar always on the correct month (or day, if it is a day calendar)?
Yes

Cat

Blue/green

:::sigh:::: more late than early


16. Are you a night owl or early bird?
Early bird


17. What is your favorite band or music group?
Oh, there are so many I love! But, if I had to pick one today it would be Queen. (But my friend & I are going to go see Steve Lawrence & Edie Gorme in the spring. I guess I have eclectic taste in music)


18. What is your favorite reality tv show?
Dancing With the Stars


19. Who would you want to play you in the movie about your life (pick for various stages if you like)?
Melissa Gilbert

I know! I really didn't want to get started on The Girls Next Door but oh man, is it addicting or what!?
I like Holly the best. She's Hef's "main" girlfriend and she is a fan of Disney/Disneyland & Marilyn Monroe, just like me! In fact Holly & Hef have one of those tiles in the entrance plaza between CA Adventure & Disneyland. I haven't been able to find it, but I know its there somewhere!
And yes, I LOVE Target. I went there 3 times last week.

 

[mommaU4]

Hi everyone!


6. What is the weirdest thing you will ever admit to having done in the past?
Weird is always a matter of perspective. I think some people I know think I'm weird for forming friendships with people I mostly know through the Internet.

Hi, good to see you! We've been a little chatty I guess. lol But it's nothing major that effects the trip. Pop in whenever you can!!

Oh, and I'd never think you were weird for making friends online....cause that would mean I'm really weird!!

I know! I really didn't want to get started on The Girls Next Door but oh man, is it addicting or what!?

I like Holly, not a fan of Kendra though. It's funny because every time we pass by the Palms and I see those pools that hang out over the edge, I think of that show. lol

 

[daisy_77]

You have to have the book, or more specifically for hojo, the card that comes with the book. They'll ask for it!

Thank you for letting me know...I am going to get one. They are about 20 bucks here. We used to buy one every year and use all the movie and restaurant coupons. Not a bad deal.

 

[daisy_77]

Molly.

Though bumbershoot would be preferable to my username on two other disney boards, hobbitfeet. It's a descriptive username (wearing Crocs is redundant for me, LOL), but you might get nasty looks from strangers, thinking you're insulting me.

I think I would answer to hobbitfeet, too. They are flat...but NOT hairy.

 

[daisy_77]

Good morning, ladies!

Good morning, ladies!

Good morning!

 

[MamaKate]

I like Holly, not a fan of Kendra though. It's funny because every time we pass by the Palms and I see those pools that hang out over the edge, I think of that show. lol

OK, I'm going to admit that I secretly watch this show when no one is around . I never plan on it, but if I'm flipping through the channels and it happens to be on, I just can't help but watch .

I agree about Kendra. Her laugh ANNOYS me and she's not the sharpest tool in the shed .

 

[MamaKate]

Also, wanted to add to my excitement that I will be in WDW in 1 week from today .

We will be moving around a lot during this trip since my kids wanted to try the Nick Hotel and I wanted to try out our new home resort at the Animal Kingdom Villas . Then we move to the Boardwalk villas since my family loves being close to Epcot .

If anyone wants me to send a postcard to them or their kids, just PM me with your address and favorite character and I'll try to get it autographed by the character.

Talk to you all later!
Katie
