I love giraffe. This is like staying at the AKL. Thanks for sharing your pictures. They are great!:yay::yay:
 
Last summer was our first trip to WDW. When we went to Animal Kingdom, we walked straight to the Africa section. The girls looked around, and DD7 said, "Papi..." (they call me Papi - Spanish for Daddy - because when they learned to talk we were living in El Salvador)... she said "Papi, this doesn't look like Africa." I thought that was really funny, my seven year old criticizing the accuracy of the Disney imagineers. I think it was because the buildings there didn't really look like any of the buildings we see every day.

This is much more typical in Ouaga.

Out of the mouths of babes!!!:lmao::lmao:
 
So, does anyone else come running in to the computer after they get home just to see what's new on the cruisemeet???? :confused3

Or maybe I'm just weird :rolleyes1
 

Interesting story on 60 minutes about computer viruses. They showed a worm that is passed on by videos on facebook. It copies everything you type!


Is that the same one from a couple of months ago or a new one? I got a message a couple of months ago from a FB friend on FB about a video that 'You just have to see'. It wasn't worded in a way they would talk so I didn't open and deleted it. Haven't seen anything else.


Bought fabric for our FE last week and dropped it off at my mom's this weeked! From what we designed I think its going to turn out great!
 
Good Morning All!

Quick note then off to work. This is my morning working at my friend's Pilates studio. Y'all were quite chatty last night. The kids and I loved the photos, Joanne and Aaron! We had a little geography lesson, figuring out where you lived and where you will go next. I'm ashamed to admit, the kids are more current on their geography than I am. The kids loved the Chicken Man!!! Thanks for sharing!

I picked up a virus from a discussion board, I don't think it's this one - I lurk on two other places. I'm going to run a scan again today, since I've only been on the DIS - if it doesn't show up, I know where it came from. I can live without the other two - I can't live without the cruise meets!!!

Running into the house and check this thread.....YOU BETCHA.....:cool1:
I'm a July 18, 2009 Tortola DIS addict!:scared1::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

These pictures are beautiful, thank you Aaron. :grouphug: One of the pictures looked like the ball for illuminations?????? :rotfl2: Your kids, too funny, but how true!:wizard:

We also had some kind of virus on our computer.....I'm only on about 4 DIS boards, I should hope it didn't come from there!:eek::eek::eek:


noahsmom: beautiful, beautiful home....I'll never post a picture of our home - doesn't look as beautiful as your home....we are too busy on the DIS boards to maintain the house!:lmao::lmao:
Our house on the inside looks like JoAnn #2 describes her house but we don't live in Africa and have alot of dust storms!:rotfl2::rotfl2:
:rotfl2:I just don't get :sad2:where the extra dust comes from, the socks that I find in the corners, the jeans I find in the hallways, etc. etc. etc.:furious::furious:

Aaron - do you have any pictures of African McDonald's or Burger King or Taco Bell!:rolleyes1:rolleyes1:
 
Good news is that my virus scan was clean - it wasn't the DIS boards. We're clean!!!! (as of this morning) :woohoo: As I figured, it was another board I lurk on - I can live without it.
 
Hundreds of employees of the "happiest place on earth" are not feeling too happy after being laid off. The Walt Disney Company, Central Florida's largest employer with about 62-thosuand "cast members". is laying off hundreds of employees as the company reorganizes its domestic operations. Disney officials declined to say how many are being fired.

In February, Disney said it was combining backstage operations, like food and beverage, maintenance and merchandising, and placing them under one management structure.

Layoffs are across the board and include jobs at theme parks, resorts, the corporate office in Burbank and the cruise lines. The job cuts, however, have not affected unionized employees.

Layoffs began last month and Disney officials did not say when they would cease. Employees have complained of an increase this week as Disney is streamlining its vast operations and facilities department.

Word of the increasing number of Disney layoffs comes the same day Florida's unemployment rate numbers for February were released. The rate rose to 9.4 percent, the highest unemployment rate in the state since 1976. It's also 1.3 percent higher than the national unemployment average of 8.1 percent.

Having lost my job through restructuring I feel very bad for CM's. Seems to be the corporate way these days. :sad2:
 
Hi everyone! Yes the first thing i do when i can get to the computer is check in with this thread. Can't live w/out the Dis boards. We have decided not to upgrade our stateroom for this cruise. Since we did this strictly on points were trying to save as much cash as possible so we don't have to give up our 2010 Baltic cruise. Heck i don't care where i sleep on the boat as long as I am on the boat.

Started on FE gifts this weekend. I came up with such a good idea i can't wait.
