Now ... AWOL - today ....

Tell me... is this REALLY an AZ cellular tower on the left? On the right is one of our fancier Calif. cellular towers.

Nope. It's a California cell tower according to the page I copped it from! The caption was:
35' TALL SAQUARO CACTUS ANTENNA
Located in Southern CA.

The disguised cell tower thing amazes me. They are pretty creative the way they are making some of them now!

Kristin,
How did you get pictures in your siggie? It's EXACTLY the same to post them to this thread!

 

[LaRue]

Wow, Santa Claus 3 will be playing onboard. I had better not drink too much or one of the days on board I may wake-up not knowing where the heck I am and what month it is. Can you imagine we will be celebrating Halloween in the tropics with a Christmas movie playing. Only Disney

Hi GDAC hope you have a great day at work. We will be thinking of you while we are at home supervising the window installer

Hi Everyone
Rick and I were in Myrtle Beach last weekend meeting up with my Cousin who lives in Tennessee. We all had a Great time.

To all the new people who have joined this thread.

Heather and Kristin- I sent you both e-mails with my Cruise information. I forgot to add that I will be a participating room to hand out Trick Or Treating candy.

We had over 3 inches of rain from Alberto!!!

Well, it's here. The kids last day of school. Trust me when I tell you we can only go to the beach so many times before they are complaining that they're bored. I missed out on most of the camp sign ups. I do this every year. I swear that NEXT summer I will have everything planned out ahead of time. Never happens!

I finally got my cruise planning info

Did I tell you that I looked into going to Magic Kingdom for 4th of July? Couldn't get hotel (on site) or a flight. Oh well, I know the heat would have been overwhelming this time of year.

Question game: When is your favorite time of year to visit Disney World? Ours is October. Although some day I want to see the Christmas decorations. I think when the kids get a little older we are going to cruise for Christmas.......keep some "Magic"(other than santa) alive for them.

When is your favorite time of year to visit Disney World?

Ours is the 1st or 2nd week of December. It is not very crowed, easy to get a room for a reasonable price, the weather is cool and all the decorations are up and if you pick the right weekend, you can watch them film the WDW Christmas day parade.

Going away for the weekend to see Fran's Mom, so I hope everyone has a great weekend.

We love going to Disney World in March because that is when our Anniversary is. We are going for a few days the end of September. We have the free Dining plan which will be nice.

OK - are we starting another round of the question game? Yah!!! I'm not gonna be keeping any sort of score ... as it's just fun Qs & As... right?

So - in response to this Q.... our favorite time to visit WDW is in January or September ... or any time in the off season. Easy hotels and relatively low crowds make it relaxing and enjoiable for us. Same holds true for Disneyland - as we have annual passes there we prefer to go just in the off peak times or days. IE, we try to get in early and leave in the mid-afternoon; or we go in the evening after dinner and stay til it closes - holding off on the popular rides until the crowds die down - so it's parade, Phantasmic and fireworks waiting in the early evening plus short line rides otherwise.

May I now propose the next question - and for something completely different in the way of questions....

..... What is the most remarkably memorable thing you can recall from a Disney visit. This includes any amusement park or the cruise line. It can be something positive, negative (?!?!) or just something that was memorable for what-ever reason. It just has to qualify for you as REMARKABLE and actually MEMORABLE in some way - obviously.

I'll volunteer my answer... the 1st thing among many remarkable and memorable experiences that pops into my mind is the very 1st time we were on the Disney Magic - it was the sail away party and we were sort of just taking it all in as an emerging experience. Our 1 daughter at the time was 2.5 years old. We were on the upper deck outside where the party was mor or less in full swing as the ship was pulling away from port. the horns were tootin' the Disney thing and Mickey was dancing on stage. Our daughter in my arms spotted Mickey and started swinging her arms about wildly - smiling broadly and then began to sort of scream "It's MICKEY, It's MICKEY, It's MICKEY MOUSE!!!!, It's MICKEY!!!!".... and the moment I'll really always remember is the smile and look of my dear spouse had in this moment. She looked just the way I felt - which was just a notch below how my daughter was celebrating her discovery that Mickey was leading the party on the cruise! Sort of amazing if you think about it.

I passed on advance purchase seats to see Andrea Bocelli at the bowl. I could have had great seats for an amazing artist - but passed. Well - some folks might have swooned for the concert - but it would have been nothing compared to how our little girl was gyrating and smiling at that moment during the sail away party. I only wish I had captured that moment on video!!!

OK - I gotta run my girl to gymnastics now.

Cheers!

P.S. ... Ok, so maybe my Q was NOT completely different - as far as Qs go -so maybe I'll come up with a decent and original one from "right field" later this weekend?

Here's a photo from that 1st DCL cruise where my girl was havin' her 1st DCL cruise.

 

[kritter]

Capt,

Love the picture I need to post some this weekend...

Terri,

You are soo lucky that you are going to WDW in September that is my favorite place to go and the best time of the year...
WE have signed up for the meal plan when we go before the cruise..YOu will have to let me know how it is..Have you used it before????


Hope everyone has a nice weekend oh wait is is only Thrusday...

So does this mean we are doing the question game again this weekend?? OH I love it and maybe some of our new crusiers can join in as well...

Kristin

Well...

... this time I did not start it. Princess Olivia did ... I think. Well - I don't know how busy it'll get given it's fathers' day weekend. I have a busy saturday - 2 birthday parties and I'm hosting a luncheon combination pool party. Then sunday is my day - plus I volunteered to shoot photos for a close friends' fathers' day lunch he's hosting for HIS Dad. It's a big deal sort of thing - I've never done anything like this before so it should be interesting if I don't mess it up.

Cheers...

Kristin,
WE LOVE DISNEY WORLD TOO!!! This will be our 42nd time going. Rick and I went to DW for our Honey Moon snd have been hooked ever since. We have eaten at many of the restaurants all over Disney World but have never had the Dining plan. I will let you know how we like it .( What's not to like)
What is the most remarkably memorable thing you can recall from a Disney visit. We took our Niece and Nephew to Epcot when they were 4 and 2. We stopped at the Electric Umbrella to have Breakfast. Chip and Dale came in and sat at the table with us. They picked Amanda and James up and put them in their laps and fed them their Breakfast. We had Chip and Dale alone for about 10 minutes. The Kids loved it and are now 16 and 14. They still remember (Probably beacause we video taped it) how sweet Chip and Dale were to them.

Terri...

That's beautiful! I had to chime in with a contrasting memory... of our daughters' 1st encounter with a character... I don't remember who the character was but not surprisingly it scared her! Of course, very rapidly she got the idea that all these characters running around were OK after all.

And now the real reason I'm posting.... it's your turn to add a question! Of course, it is not really mandatory to add a question - but it does add interest to the "game"....

If ya don't have a question handy then I'll volunteer a "quickie"...

... which ride at WDW or DL qualifies as the one you repeated the most in a day? IE... do you even remember what your record was for most times repeated?

In recent memory - I think we did the toon town coaster at DL 11x in a day. It might have even been 13x ... but no less than 10x that day. I know it was double digits. Thank goodness it was not triple digits!

HEY GINGER....

You owe Kritter an apology for that crass inconsiderate personal attack you sent "privately" to her via PM on her wedding anniversery. To think you would have done that when she was also recovering from surgery. And now that she's politely replied - AND adjusted her signature photos - you'd think you could muster the decency to say thank you and possibly that you are sorry.

You didn't seriously think sending something like that was going to just go away without something ultimately good coming of it? Kritter is too refined and decent to say anything about this - but I'm not.

And to everyone else who is wondering what's this all about - ask away if you're curious. Privately if you must. Some of us have been chatting about this privately. And while you're at it - remember that K is on her 1st DCL sailing, has uniformly exhibited a great spirit here, she's recovering from serious health issues which appear to be (thankfully) on the mend. AND - for a relative novice - she's done well to be the #1 posting entity here! I have been a near silent witness to this in the back ground.

I can stand by no longer in the face of this injustice. To attack someone recovering from surgery on their wedding anniversery with a petty vicious private message is too infantile to let escape.

Ginger, regretfully you owe Kritter a PUBLIC apology - big time. Shall we print what you wrote and let the world decide what they think? Your core complaints could have been delivered politely - or they could have been timed in a manner after her recovery and anniversery... however, you maliciously choose this time in an attempt at maximizing damage. How childish - and evil. Oh, I am guessing IF we printed your message it would be considered hostile and be prohibited. Just as my rant here might be considered improper. Please forgive me folks.

Remember - all I am saying is - you owe Kristen an apology - if you're too embarassed - send it privately. You couldn't possibly be smug about what you did?

Sorry Kristen... Since you did not receive a reply - I just could not stand by any further in silence.


Sorry to let the stink out of the bag - so to speak - thankfully, it's not my gas in the bag that's foul. I'd rather believe my gas is mildly refreshing if you can believe that.

 

[fourlittlemunchkins]

I think you had mentioned about needing some info for the website? Do you want me to private e-mail you or call? Sorry, I have been so busy with the kids and haven't been able to check in too much. Just let me know what you need and I would be happy to fill you in with the details. You are kind to do so much work. Perhaps you might be able to help me out a bit?? I had some type of paperwork arrive from the Disney cruise line and unfortunately my mail carrier threw it onto our grass while the sprinkler system was on. It just got saturated and I can't make heads or tails of it. What gets me was that I was just walking up the drive to greet her when she threw it down and left. The funny thing is our mailbox is not located in a spot where the lawn was even getting watered. It's like she did it purposely for some reason. Anyways, I was wondering what it might be and if I could call to have it resent?? Thanks so much.

I think someone asked where I live? We are in New Hampshire. Hopefully I will get some free time this weekend and can chat some more???? LOL. I'm not sure how to post pictures, but if I could possibly get some help with that I would love to share some pics of my kids as well. Oh, what is the size that is allowed on this site. Thanks so much.

Okay - I'll bite

 

[captaincrash]

Okay - I'll bite

Whats' up?

Since Kristen is not here at the moment - Ya have any Qs? I'll send you a PM if desired or answer here. But posting 1894 is 95% of it in plain view.

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

I am sorry - I have to say that I LOVE reading everything you ALL have to post...but two wrongs do not make a right and whatever Ginger did, it is not right to make other people's business public in this way. I am sure you care a great deal and are motivated out of care, concern, and a sense of what is right, but airing it in this way is just another wrong in my book. I say so respectfully and not in anger..it just does not seem like the right thing to do - IMHO.

 

[captaincrash]

I know...

... but Kritter was on HER wedding anniversery?! And she had surgery she was/is recovering from. And it was not a personal thing she did to anyone else?

I understand what you're saying pansmermaidzlagoon.

For this I am very sorry. Very sorry to perpetuate it.

And you're right that I have feelings about this. If anyone had engaged me in such a manner on my anniversery when I was on the mend from surgery - without provocation I would have to say something is amiss.

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

again, respectfully as I think you are a very nice, caring person....I don't dispute what she did was wrong, perhaps very wrong(and I have to add that I know NONE of the details - don't wish to) ...I am just not sure that offering to spread it on to others and airing it publicly is the right way to handle it...I think that as a person who cares very much for their friends you have maybe let your emotions take over...again, I mean none of this disrespectfully....just maybe, again respectfully, take a step back and think about it and rethink keeping it private.....

thank you for hearing me out and taking what I have to say the right way!
