I have seen Jennifer Aniston in person on the Oprah show(I was in the audience)...Jennifer is size of my right thigh! seriously...she is tiny! (or I am fat, which I am, but )

Wow, you saw Oprah AND Jennifer! It seems like all the "stars" are teeny-tiny. David Cook was on Regis & Kelly this morning and he looked like an absolute giant compared to them! I didn't remember him seeming so huge on Idol.

I always forget about that show. Maybe next season.

Well I'm not much of a morning person compared to some. I'm a "morning person" at 4 am! I post sometimes, but for some odd reason no one is on then...

Is it still a big fight over there?

Well everyone, I am back from MOA and the AG store. We successfully walked through the place without dropping a dime! Yay! It helps that Christmas is coming and I can hold that over their heads - "if you're good, we might get you one". They have each picked out two that they like, so I told them if they don't decide on one, I will decide for them and they can't complain. Then of course, they have about a gazillion outfits and accessories! I heard a lot of "oh, look at that" "isn't that cute" and the big one - "I want..." Ugh. Well, the shopping will be simple and minimal. Each get a doll and Grandma will buy an outfit or accessory. Done.
We took them to eat at McDs and they each had a "mystery ticket" for the Nickelodeon Universe park. Each ended up with 6 points, so that's two kid rides. So they were happy. Now to get them to bed!

Thanks for adding the Orlando pics! Very nice.


I for one am able to hop on DIS occassionally throughout the day at work sometimes, if I'm at my desk. You early birds are too much for me though. I hop on in the a.m., and you east coasters have been up and on for hours! Does anyone else think the times are wrong? This afternoon I was posting at 3:15 my time and it showed some odd time like 2:47! Oh well.

Or more Jimmie Johnson!!

Did you all see the front of SI? I got yummy um I mean Jimmie in the mail today.

Put another log on the fire ladies (and gentlemAn- ) there's a hot topic brewing...

Whether you agree or disagree this fella is just asking for it.

Want there and added my two cents.

Ok I've decided I need to quit my job so that I can stay home and play with you guys all day on the Dis.
Me too!




Now I understand that Trixie is supplying the pictures here but can I just add my own..... I really hope no one minds....

Trixie if you have any more of Orlando, I wouldn't mind seeing them...

I so like to look at Orlando then Johhny. Johnny just comes off odd to me.

We are planning a road-trip next year to the MOA...didn't know there was an AG store there...I will NOT be telling my DD's...the newest catalog came in the mail and they circled $1200 worth of clothes & accessories

I work for the State of WI and the DIS boards are "blocked". SO, I have to wait until I'm home from work to lurk, post, read. I sometimes stay up past my bedtime just to catch up on the days postings.

I was just reading a post on another site about the new dining plan. I have the CS plan booked..but I didn't realize that it was only a few dollars less than the TS plan. I am NOT telling DH this. I just think that the CS plan is a better fit for us this trip. No ADR's to plan, no hour long lunch/dinners AND no tips to pay OOP...but the meals are all prepaid. I think that's why I still feel unorganized from other trips. I need to pick out the night we are going to La Nouba..?

The AG store just opened last weekend. It has a hair salon (for dolls) and bistro. Very cute! Anything you are interested in about MOA, I can sure tell you. We live about 15 - 20 minutes from there. We go there frequently.

I work for the State of MN and luckily (or not?) I have access to most everything. I do need the internet for my job, so that helps! It is hard to get all caught up if you are off all day. Some days we just are so chatty!
We are doing the CS plan too. Same reasons. We just don't eat a lot of sit down meals and don't want to deal with tips. It's nice to have no pressure to be anywhere at a particular time. Especially now that we extended our trip a few days, we don't really have much of a schedule planned! The first few days, we don't even know which parks we're going to! I know, Crazy! I still have to check park hours and such.

Do they have any new cookies for this year? Or is that classified information?

That I don't know. I always just order Thin Mints and the chocolate ones with peanut butter on the inside. I'm not up on my girl scout cookie lingo.

You going to share with me????

Of course!

Can one of you kind Birds point me on where to find DDP info preferably for 2009. Also does anyone have plans to eat with dinos at T Rex cafe?

I'm planning on eating at T-Rex. Our DD LOVES dinosaurs. I'm going to call at the beginning of Jan to try and get a ressie. It looks great, yet overpriced. That's to be expected though, right?

Speaking of ANTM, I need to go watch the finale. However, DH is playing Guitar Hero World Tour, so I have to wait my turn. I knew I should have tivoed it upstairs and not downstairs!!! Oh well! I should really go to bed, but I have no desire to. I woke up this morning with a horrible sore throat and now I can hardly swallow it hurts so bad. I guess it's time for some hot cocoa! Yummy! I'll be back in the morning. Don't get too chatty on me! Good night!

Which part of the State of MN do you work for? My DH and I both work for the Dept of Corrections. I use the internet for my job as well, just that the State of WI blocks chat rooms...but the other Disney site is not blocked, but it's not as exciting as this one.

A group of 33 other women and 1 man and myself went to IL on a bus last week to the Woodfield Mall and Ikea store. That is ONE store that I could blow my entire credit card on-Ikea. Being a big girl, I don't clothes shop much. But if it's for my house or yard, I'm all in.

Totally with you about not knowing what days we are going to what park. My DD will be 10 on March 24, so on Jan 24, we will "celebrate" her birthday. Now my other DD WILL be 13 on our departure day of the 27th. We always start and end our trip at MK and the castle. She also wants to do all 3 "mountains" for her first day as a teenager

Thanks, Trixie!

And Hugh just doesn't do anything for me...let's get back to 'ole Cap'n Jack or Orlando!

Awww, I love 'em all!! *batts eyelashes furiously at all of the pictures*

Now I understand that Trixie is supplying the pictures here but can I just add my own..... I really hope no one minds....

I really love him with the longish hair. I'm always sad when he doesn't have long hair...

...but yes, I'm one of THOSE women who really really like long haired men.

Which is why I think it's REALLY funny that my DH looks much better with a short neat haircut. Go figure!

(I once said I liked men who were tall with long dark hair and blue eyes... but that I'd probably marry a 5ft3in blonde man... well, DH has light brown hair, blue eyes so light they're nearly grey AND he's almost 6ft. I got halfway there!)

I got that email a few days ago...I went ahead and entered it can't hurt right LOL

Good luck!

I entered in 2006, and this year when I got the email. We took our trip in 2007. You always wonder if real people win, now I know. Here is a link to the thread about the Winter 2006 giveaway, http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1301780

I read the small print. This time around they are only giving away 20 trips, but also including a few other things that did not go with the winter 2006 giveaways.
