I think I posted this in the wrong thread but I'll post here...

Ok so we've finally decided on a costume. I've had SUCH a hard time finding something that I liked and something that would fit since I am "pooh" sized lol. So many costumes out there are for itty bitty ppl who want to reveal every part of their body, sorry NOT ME. So me and my bf (sorry, I'm not completely up to date on all the abbreviations yet lol) decided to do captain jack and I'm just gonna be a pirate wench. Pretty excited now. Can't wait for candy, my bff minnie and just disney!

B]Mom4princesses[/B] - 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.

Funny you mention the career choice, her dad and I talked about the same thing on the way home from the assembly. About the autistic child, she told us she was upset because his helper (Im guessing a person that goes to each one of his classes with him) just sits on the computer the entire class. He always looked sad/scared and I wanted to help him. Now I sit next to him and he seems happy to be there. The more she told me about what she has done, the more tears came to my eyes, and even though I thought I couldn't be more proud I was. She has one of the kindest hearts ever.

Again thanks for all the wonderful words she is glowing and I hope it continues for a while.

 

[funatdisney]

gee thanks sherry

ok well if you ya'll want to know with out going into the funball thread...

So, ok.. well I guess I can say that umm I was really nervous. I was shaking, light headed, I almost passed out ..and I was taling to t-dash on the phone as we was walking up cause she was trying to clam my nerves.. but he walked up to me and I quickly hung up… I think I said to t-dash “omg he is cute, oh I gotta go!” and then hung up! Well he is super cute, super sweet ( I already knew that) .. we did celebrate champagne thursday also! he himself even said how great of a first date it was..

We did the world of color picnic meals, they were yummy! Great view, in the yellow section! Imtoexcitedtoosleep(tom bell) was there also that night apparently, didn’t see him though! Anyhow world of color was amazing as usual,. It was matt’s first time and yes he loved it! I got ton of photos of the it for the Disneyland photo thread! and last night was shellymouse's wedding anniversary, whitch is ironic that it was matt and i's first date, but in a year(as he said) it will be our anniversary of our first date!.. ...let's all hold hands now and sing a love song!

And last but not least, here is matt and i!




and now back to our halloween thread!

Both of you look so cute together! Looks like a wonderful weekend for the both of you.

AmyPond, wishing you safe travels and a great time at Disneyland!! Say 'Hi' to Mickey for me!

Sherry, you're worse than me for teasing Sara and Matt. AmyPond have a great time on your vacation, and bring many fun and happy memories back with you.

Thanks! I'm going to try not to let the heat get to me too much. I plan to enjoy myself, no matter what! We're leaving the house at 6am tomorrow. We'll have about 13 hours of driving. Then 13 more hours of driving on Sunday. Should arrive at the Anaheim Plaza in the evening!

I know! I first read your comment Sherry...oh, over an hour ago...and that song is STILL in my head!

Victoria got a citizenship/student of the month award. Here is what they said about her at the pep assembly:
"This young lady has requested to be seated by an extremely autistic student, so she could help him. She has been invaluable when helping him. She discovered a mirror in the back of the room and was having this student spell words to her facing the mirror. She was behind him mouthing the correct spelling. She helps him even if it takes her longer to do her own work. Her patience and willingness is remarkable."

It was a proud mommy moment and had to keep myself from crying. I didn't even know she had been helping this boy in class but makes me the proudest mom in the world. It was one of those things you wish for you child to do (be a good, helpful person and respect someone who is different) and when they do it you don't have words. Thanks for all the well wishes and letting me go off topic. Love my Disboards.

I was so happy to hear this! Sheesh, I even got teary and I don't even know your daughter. It is SO refreshing to hear about positive things that teenagers are doing. (My husband used to work in a juvenile detention center and now works in a prison for adults. We hear so much of the bad/scary stuff.) I am glad she got recognized for her service. Thank you for sharing!

To all those who are about to head out to DL...have fun!

 

[BELLEDOZER]

mom4princesses, we have some friends that have 2 autistic boys, and to hear that your daughter is helping something who needs it is a credit to how you are raising her to be a valuable member of society. Give yourself a big pat on the back, as she is a reflection of you.

Great pictures! Can't wait to ride it.

I wonder what the wait times have been like this week.

(Side note - Just took the dog for a walk and I'm sweating to death, and it's only 70 degrees out here! Not a good sign for me.)

I was thinking of taking my dog for a walk today (it's been a while...and he needs it!) but it's 86 degrees here now! i love the heat but my poor dog has black fur!

I am curious also on wait times for the week!

 

[funatdisney]

It already feels stinking hot here in Ventura!! I am missing my nice cool ocean breezes. I guess I am in front of the fan for the weekend.

BTW, we don't have an AC. I am sure you are shocked, but we live about 10 miles from the beach. There are always cold ocean breezes to cool everything down every evening. There is only a need for an AC about 10 to 15 days a year. This weekend is one those days. To survive, I sit in front of a fan for the afternoon and do most of my work and visit my horses (they are boarded inland from us and it gets HOT at the ranch) in the early morning or late evening.

We just got home last night from our vacation that began with one day at DL and ended with two days at DL - am exhausted and haven't even attempted to get through this PART 2 of the Superthread - wowza - how did that happen while we were gone??

I will try to post pictures as soon as possible...I have about a thousand from the two weeks, probably a couple of hundred from DL alone.

Re: wait times this week - they were pretty awesome (at least Wed & Thurs)! Some walk-ons, most 5 - 15 minutes, Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy was the longest at 25 min, but we got fast passes twice (the second time the fast pass was good 30 min after we got it and when we used it, took us literally 10 min from starting up the ramp to loading). Lots of rides going down, though - have NEVER had that happen on any of our trips - and a couple things closed I didn't know or somehow forgot were closed.

Halloween decorations at DL so much better than two years ago!!!

 

[Sherry E]

...Halloween decorations at DL so much better than two years ago!!!

Are you sure about that? In all the photos I have seen that everyone has been kind enough to post in both Halloween threads, the decorations in DL are exactly the same as 2 years ago and also exactly the same as last year. I haven't seen anything different, decoration-wise, at all yet. That's not to say that what IS there isn't cool - it's super cool and I can't wait to see it again - but it is the same stuff they have had in DL for the last couple of years.

The thing that's different is that there is next to nothing in the way of decorations in DCA. It's pitiful how little there is in the way of HalloweenTime stuff in DCA. No candy corn anywhere, apparently.

What is also different is some of the merchandise - there seem to be new pins, new Nightmare Before Christmas stuff (which is awesome) and some really great t-shirts that weren't around last year!! And there are a couple of new food items, like the gingerbread beignets.

I can't wait to see your photos, amamax2 - and there is stuff for you to catch up in both Part 1 and Part 2 of the Halloween threads!!

 

[Funball]

yeah i was just going to say that the decorations are the same every year., its DCA that isn't doing anything due to electornica...it just seems that 80's lazers and disney halloween decor don't go together

 

[Funball]

speaking of 80's... sherry i am a closet brett michaels lover!

 

[Sherry E]

speaking of 80's... sherry i am a closet brett michaels lover!

Well, he's been in the news so much this year (and is going to have heart surgery in January) - now is probably the time for anyone to admit they like him!! Now it's 'acceptable' to people! When he was just the singer of Poison and that was it - it wasn't cool to like him for a lot of people. Now that he has a sort of separate identity from the band, I think people are seeing that he's a pretty cool guy!!

 

[Funball]

well i always though he was cool. from the minute i saw rock of love. he is soo genuine! RFLOl he has a big heart! he really does.

 

[RweTHEREyet]

The great thing is that all of it will be new to me, so I won't know if they have the same stuff out for the last 10 years of not.
