Wow!! Things are zipping along here. I wasn't able to post yesterday but I did check in to read as many of everyone's new posts as I could. Now I'm trying to remember what I was going to comment on!!
Mom4princesses - that is absolutely amazing and inspirational to hear what your daughter is doing 'behind the scenes' in school. She sounds like a very special girl. It actually brought a tear to my eye to read that she was helping the autistic child, and not even letting you know or drawing attention to it. It shows she has a natural impulse and inclination to want to help, so it makes me wonder what career path she will end up choosing!! A teacher? A nurse? A doctor, perhaps? I wonder if the autistic child's family knows of how your daughter has been helping.
Dizneedoll, Disney Dreams and everyone else I'm forgetting who helped confirm - thanks for verifying that the Hag was on last year's map. I thought so! At least I know I was not imagining it!! Even though I neglected to take a map home with me, I was so sure that I had seen the Hag on a map last year. The picture on this year's map looked so similar. I'm surprised that they didn't go with a different photo.
Laura (Barefootmama) - Great photos!! Great colors! Thank you so much for sharing them. Did you walk up to the tram path Halloween display, or were you just quick on the trigger in catching it? It looks like you are standing right in front of it, based on the vantage point. I also love the two Halloween Time sign photos, one with the Matterhorn in the background and one with the Castle in the background!! Awesome juxtaposition of the Halloween Time icon against the familiar DLR icon. Those are the sorts of photos I would expect to see in a DLR brochure that was advertising Halloween Time.
AmyPond - Yay!! It's almost time to leave. I am crossing my fingers for you that the temperatures will drop substantially by your arrival date. I am not looking forward to the 95-degree weather this weekend in SoCal, and I hope that's not what it is when you get to DLR.
As others have said here, I will accept 'warm.' A nice 70-degree day is fine. 72 or 73 degrees is fine. But when it gets above that - and especially in the 90's and 100's - I am miserable.
Also, I agree with Wendy, who said several pages back that it should be warm in the summer and then cooler in the Fall and Winter. Even though I hate really high heat, I expect it in Summer. As soon as Fall rolls around, I want it to cool down. I want to see piles of leaves on the ground. I want to feel a bit of a chill in the air. I want it to be a little windy. It needs to be cool enough to justify going for the cider or the cocoa.
And by Winter - well, I want to be able to drag out the big, bulky coat and mittens and scarves because I am freezing. It was weird last December when I could walk around in a t-shirt at night because it didn't feel that cool to me. I want to be cold! I want to bundle up in sweaters and make a mad dash for the cocoa to try to get warm!!
The worst thing is when it's so hot and you just can't get yourself cool fast enough. It's much easier to deal with to get warm when you're freezing!!
I was sweating my behind off at the park yesterday, and not loving it! I feel like the cooler weather tricked us all into a false sense of fall, and then bam heat! Not nice at all. 
I wonder if the lockers will be available??
This does make it a bit harder to get excited. Looks like the following week is going to be perfect. 
. AmyPond have a great time on your vacation, and bring many fun and happy memories back with you.
he himself even said how great of a first date it was..
...let's all hold hands now and sing a love song!
DD 13 said she's almost done. 
Last time we went (a long time ago, I think it was 2006) he refused to dress up and now he is asking.
