Maxie, please feel free to laugh at me if this is stupid, but is that your dog (what a cutie!) and does his/her nose REALLY look like a hidden Mickey or is it photoshopped?

Yes that is our dog, Nala. Her nose really looks like that. She was about 2 months old in that pic. Her markings are changing and her nose is filling in on the top some, but it still looks like a hidden Mickey.

: :eek: Thanks for the review of the BWI CL.:scared1: Sounds like you had a terrible stay.:sad2: Glad you said that was 3 years ago or I would be really worried. Hope they got a lot better.
 
Mandy - I really hope you check in with us early today!! I hope you and your family are safe and dry!!!:hug:
 
hey all!!:goodvibes

uh oh...where is Mandy? :confused: i need to put the Weather Channel on. Jojo slept over at a friend's house last night so I have my kitchen TV to MYSELF!!! NO Hannah Montana here today!!! Whoohooo Mandy! I hope all is well!!!! What is it doing there now??

Shel made it!! :thumbsup2 :cool1: She is probably unloading the limo NOW! I am excited for her. I heard she is getting a MK View RPC room!:goodvibes :goodvibes

I also heard from Kel....she called last night to make sure Sheli got off to MCO Ok. :) AND...Kelly got herself out of the CR and into GF RPC!!!! Actually a sweet GF friend helped her BIG TIME. But I am psyched for Kelly. She was sooo worried about that construction and noise at the CR. AND from what she said she saw & heard yesterday when they stopped by there she was right to be concerned. The concourse is torn up and trashed right now. Kelly is at OKW now until she moves next week to GF. She sounded like she was having a lot of fun. Her family won Dreams fast passes yesterday in the MK!:wizard: She didn't bring a laptop though....so no checking in.:confused:

It is so fun having friends at WDW....The next best thing to being there.:thumbsup2

Maxie...ya..sorry to scare you. :flower3: It was a long time ago but it was our absolute worst Disney stay EVER. I got writing about it and was on a roll and having fun. I spared you some of the gory details though. :rotfl: Now I am bummed because those new rooms look so pretty.:rotfl: I know Andrea really wants to try BWI too. Maybe if the both of you guys go and stay and love it I can be armtwisted into giving it another try.:rotfl2: Jojo really wanted to swim in that clown pool. We never got to. :rolleyes1

And that dog is ADORABLE!!!! I didn't notice her hidden MIckey nose, either, until Amy found it!!!! How funny!:goodvibes It makes me want to go check over my own dog...she must have a Mickey somewhere.:rotfl2:

Dawn!!!! I am glad it went well for you!!!! Keep us posted!! It's gonna be so strange next week when you are IN SCHOOL!!! NO mouthing off here with us until later in the day.:sad2: We will anxiously await your posts.:yay:

Hey!! I would love a grasshopper...but what the heck is a pink squirrel??:rotfl: Is that like a strawberry daqueri? (my spell check says that's wrong spelling but it doesn't give me anything better....NO I don't want to type Vaquero.:rolleyes1 ) Usually I ignore that spell check anyway...can't ya tell?

Talk to ya all later!! Have a great day,

Chan
 

Has anyone heard if M&P left and/or got to the GF safely? Fingers crossed for them! Glad Sheli and Kelly are there and having fun!:)

Dawn- You will be a great teacher! Hope you enjoyed your day off!

Your dog is too cute! Can't believe she has a hidden Mickey - cute!:)
 
Hello! I also posted this on the GF thread, but I suspect I'll get an even more experienced respose here.

Here's a question for all you experts. We have friends leaving for their first WDW trip together - one of my boys' friends (age 11), his single mom and (get this for a twist) her ex-mother-in-law, who is an absolute doll. The ex MIL has been wildly supportive of my friend who does such a marvellous job raising her son, who is physically disabled like our Mark.

They are staying at the Poly (booked it an found out that by accident they are going during free dining!). I'd like to do something nice for them, if it's not too late. I meant to ask Kelly about this before she left, but when I realized how close it was to her departure, I didn't want to bother her.

So what do you think? One of the basket companies (and if so, which one? Memories by Betsy? Disney florist?) All ideas much appreciated!

Thank you,
Alison

I was wondering the same thing but I felt like a dummy asking what a "fluffy drink" was that I didn't want to ask another silly question :laughing:.

LOL...I always call frozen slushy drinks the fluffy drinks...you know the kind that should have a fruit spear and umbrella on the side....but what is a pink squirrel?:rotfl:

Has anyone heard if M&P left and/or got to the GF safely? Fingers crossed for them! Glad Sheli and Kelly are there and having fun!:)

Dawn- You will be a great teacher! Hope you enjoyed your day off!

M & P left yesterday.....They should be there and having fun!! I wonder if M & P and Sheli will bump into eachother in the lounge.:rotfl:


Alison...I answered ya on the GF thread...but I have used both and also Peggyssweetsandmore dot com....but I think Betsy and Peggy might charge $20 extra for a quickie last minute order. I don't think WDW Florist does.

They are all great. Any will leave your friends WOWed.:goodvibes


Happy day.....so...where is our Mandy?:confused:

Chan
 
Hi gals!

Glad to hear everyone arrived safe and sound! Hope Mandy checks in soon!!

I got the last of DS's school supplies yesterday. Our teachers are voting on the school board's "last and final offer" this afternoon so I guess we will have a better idea then if there will be a strike. Open House is tomorrow night. I think I am more nervous than he is! :rotfl:

Talk to ya later!
 
Good Afternoon All:flower3:

Irisbud-Cant believe I didnt notice Maxies dogs nose!!:)

Maxie-did you notice her cute nose before you bought her-she is adorable!

Tinklvr-I remember Grasshoppers too ( I think it has creme de menthe in it!!!:confused3 )not sure havent had one in ages...

Channing-So glad to hear about Kelly and Shelli:thumbsup2 Hope they're having a great trip. I love the name fluffy drinks (Mickey Nut I didnt know what they were either!);)
Not sure at all whats in a pink squirrel....I go for that good old pina colada (it is a vacation drink to me)...

Hope I'll be enjoying one soon in my cabana....maybe in my rain poncho in my cabana:rotfl: Who knows...

Kristin good luck getting DS off to school...sure hope they dont strike...

Thanks for the update Chan - Glad to hear that everyone made it okay!:goodvibes
 
I am SO GLAD that everyone has made it safely to WDW! I guess I am the last in this group to head down on Saturday?

It looks like Fay is turning a bit so hopefully Orlando will be spared altogether!
 
I wish Mandy would check in!!!

Dawn - as a parent of a 5th grader last year. Your going to great and I have to say the kids in the 5th at our school are still really sweet and nice!!!

Channing - Thanks for the update on Sheli and Kelly!!! I hope the weather clears up soon!!!

I can't help with the pink squirrel as I have NO CLUE either :lmao: :lmao:. I'm the one who didn't know what a fluffy drink was :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:.
 
Hey friends! We were sparred so far...... wind and rain thats about it so far! This storm is so slow! WE are thankful that this was not bad but we also are overly sensitive since we gt hit direstly 4 times in 2004. We are hoping it moves away but there is a chance that it might get in the atlantic and whip back at us...... only time will tell!

We are at my grandmothers and are having a fun huricane party! Lots of yummy snacks and we are several hours into a good chicken foot game! I am winning.....what can i say i am a lucky drawer!

Thanks for all the well wishes, I am also glad this has not been much for Sheli, Kelly, and M&P!

Mandy!:hug:
 
Mandy ~ glad to hear you and your family are safe and things haven't gotten real bad. Hopefully it moves away from you and doesn't come back :angel:. I hope it's over soon......stay safe :grouphug:.
