I cant get it from merchandising they have it at the store at the GF and the kitchen store at DTD
a CM friend told me

Merchandising is what I was thinking of, I forgot they have no web site only a 800 #. Sorry, but hey i'm always over there so if you have to have it i don't mind getting it and shipping for you.

Hi Lives4Disney!

I've been lurking on this thread because you ladies have so much good info on the GF (plus it's pretty entertaining to boot!). Your pictures of Jose have finally dragged me out! The pictures and especially the commentary cracked me up! I'm at work and laughing out loud. I really needed a laugh today so thanks!

You guys are such a bad influence! Hitting the big 4-0 has me running scared and I've been toying with the idea of getting BM makeup. I'm so NOT a makeup person but this seems to be a good time to start.

Thanks again for the laugh!

Glad you came out of lurkdom!!

We had so much stupid fun with Jose....Our CM friend went to Epcot with us on Thurs....the next batch of pics I wil post later....so she was having fun goofing with him, too.....we had so many opportunities to pose him (when the monorail driver stepped out, we wanted to throw him in the driver's seat and snap a pic, but thought we'd be booted out of the front... so we didn't......BUT with a CM friend with....we felt more comfortable doing weird stuff.....

OK....need to go to dentist..... Must move butt....

Mov i n nnnnnnnnn gggggggggg

Bye!

Never mind I just noticed your ticker so you'll be back pretty soon and can shop for your self! Yay

 

[grannyminnie]

Here are the dates that were in our room.....

8/10-9/27

10/19-11/1

11/9-11/15

11/30-12/13

30% off deluxe, 40% off villas

I booked the October 19-26.....where's my ticker??

I tried several Sept dates but they didn't have what I wanted.....then I heard there is free dining during Sept, so that's probably why and it would be crowded anyway. Hoping we have luck with low crowds during that time in October. I know the Gartner Symposium is there but I htink it's the week prior kind of nearer Columbus Day......And that Gold tournie, but hopefully that's it.

Yippeee!! I'm so glad you reported this...now, when I go in a few days, I can look for the flyer and change our Thanksgiving trip to get the 30% off!
And on the topic of tickers, mine keeps disappearing too. I'm about ready to go back to the Ticker Factory, but I will have to be instructed as to how to do that one too, like you guys did for me on Mickeypath.
And finally, I am so glad you will get to experience a slower time period (you hope) in October!!

It just ocurred to me that I might not be able to get this bounceback if we're already booked for those dates...yikes! I really want that discount!! How do I handle this??

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Channing- those pictures crack me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Over on the T shirt chat thread the ladies there do that with their Pal Mickey's... it's hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or at least they used too- I haven't checked in over there in ages!!!)

As for the People Mover- it is the FIRST thing we do when we land!!! (I am not kidding!!! ) Although this time, the first thing I am doing is calling to book the bounceback rate! Good luck at the dentist!! I just had to change my May appointment since it was supposed to occur while we were gone (oops!)

NJ Pluto- Welcome to the maddness!!! Stick around and chat!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Of course, this also gives me something to ponder re: a post-cruise stay in Sept.

I always feel I need a vacation from my vaction- so what better way to kick back than at the GF!!!

My DH called me yesturday on his way home from work and told me he was bringing me a treat! I asked "chocolate?" He said no better, but it only cost a $. O.K. what ever I was not in the mood to play games especially since I was eating raw carrots and really wanted a bag of M&M's. Well he got home and handed me a Pirates calendar, 12 months of our favorite captain! Then my 5 year old asked if he could have it. DH husband said sure and winked at me. I almost smacked him I figured you'd appreciate that story. What is with these men that are jealous of a fictional pirate???

My DH would NEVER indulge me like that!!!

We're off the the dentist tomorrow!!

mandymommy4

Thats sweet!!! The calendar and the jealousy!!!

 

[mandymommy4]

I asked him later what possessed him and he said he was planning on seperating it and taping the pictures all over the house as a April fools joke but he found out he had to leave for work at 4 am today so he just gave it to me last night. And then I said "but you gave it to Conner" and he said "what you would really have used it?" I told him yes I planned on using it but now I will just have to visit our son's room alot more!

I turned his April fool's plan around on him! My son let me cut out the February pic and I scanned it onto a iron-on transfer and ironed it onto an old pillowcase! Guess who is going to being starring at Capt'n Jack when he climbs into bed...... mwaaaahahahaha!!!! I'll take pics and post tomorrow! Right now the bed is made nice and neat and DH will be home any minuet!

Let me know how you like ST. I heard it's really bloody, but I still have it on my netflix list.

[Lives4Disney]

I'm back! It was easy.

Mandymommy, that is cute.

GrannieMinnie....hopefully you'll get a really nice helpful CM to book it for you?? I wound up with a really nice one that tried all diff dates for me...I felt kinda bad keeping her for so long but she was nice. OR, you could use a different name - if a person going with you has a diff last name?? I am sure there has to be some way (maybe sneaky) around it. You can't help it you're always there at WDW.

Here's another pic of Jose getting the "princess" treatment....this was over Thanksgiving but I will post more current pics later or tomorrow...just had a couple minutes betwn kids coming home!


SHE LOVED HIM

 

[Alicnwondrln]

OMG that pic of Jose is to much!!!!

I cant wait to get back to disney.

Me toooooo!!!!!! I don't know that I can wait til October...

You'll like these pics, Kelly!!!!!!!! These are from last Nov....I have to get my new Epcot ones ready to post.



Jojo introduced him to Alice during an Xmas Party last November......

Alice was happy to pose with him

BUT...............

When Lucy tried to introduce him to the Queen of Hearts things got ugly....

And UGLIER.....

This was a cute pic - even though Jose was in a bind, they smiled for the camera.

Jojo tried to rescue him.....

After a rough night, the girls fed him chocolate and brought him back to party with some friends.

That's how he decided he liked going to WDW with us. Chocolate and good times.

Gotta run - talk to ya later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DeborahB]

Channing, your pictures are a riot! The one you just posted of Jose with the chocolate mouth made me LOL! And that last one, what is he hanging with his peeps?
Of course they're beautiful, too. I love WEDway People Mover and it holds a special place in my heart.
Keep them coming. Where's the RPC shots?

Kelly, I just noticed you have a new ticker. That's great! I'm a little jealous though....16 Days?
