Yep - we are signed up for our third this April.

We were totally overwhelmed at the first one - picture chicken running around with its head cut off. That one covered the DLH, DTD, DL and DCA. Can you say exhausted????!

The second one was an Eye-spy format and only took place in DL. We actually completed it a few minutes early and got all but one quest correct.

We just didn't really know what to expect the first time. I read the boards and peope would comment about no bathroom/food/drink breaks and I realy thought they were kidding - they aren't. You pretty much run (well walk fast - running is not allowed) for 6 hours. We had a blast both times and can't wait for April.

Make sure you sign up for the Mouseadventure e-mails so you get the notification about registration. It sold out in only 36 hours this time.

I think the 101 might still be open for this spring if you wanted to try it out - it's a taster of MA and is taking place in DCA.

I can't wait for the High Seas version!

Bindie is a slang short version of Belinda, usually. Us Aussies shorten everything with an 'e' sound at the end eg breakfast (brekky), kindergarten (kindy), biscuit (biccy) etc - you get the the piccy (picture)!!

Got it. Love learning a new language!!

 

[taysmom]

Thanks for the info...I'd love to go down and do the april 101, just finding the time. I'll look at it again, and see what I can do..

 

[LisaG520]

i vote couch!

I'm heading there now.

Night everyone!

Ok, I just spent and hour and half filling out and printing my epass passport application. It was twenty minutes to fill out the rest of the time getting it to print properly, agh! This is suppose to allow me to skip the line up at the PP office, because all the info is already attached, in the governement computer, to the barcode that is on the printed out form.

Now to pray that the form is printed to their standards, will get the photos this week end and submit on Monday. It has been taking 10-20 business days. Fingers crossed.

An hour and a half to skip a 20 min line. Hmmmmm, sounds like something we did here one fishy Saturday night.

We have a lot of matching t-shirts and 2 shirt dress combos. We usually wear matching t-shirts when on vacation and when participating in Mouseadventure.

Heck I even make my sister and niece match us when we are on vacation (I love Disney online clearance sales)

Dennis and I have lots of matching t-shirts also. I got 2sets of matching t-shirts for our family of 13 ranging in age from 1 to 82, in Dec. We had lime green ones for embarkation and white ones (Mickey of course) for our Magic Kingdom day.

I wish twenty minutes, in November 2003 I spent 2 hours waiting for my number to be called and I was there 30 minutes before to get a early number.

Ok I just "stumbled upon" this video. Some of you may have already seen it as it has been making the rounds on the web. If you haven't seenit I recommend you have some tissue nearby. This one got to me.

This is Dr. Randy Pausch reprising his last lecture. It is quite moving, at least I found it to be...

http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=ithct48cqw

There is a blip in the recording. I assume he has said that when he got his PhD he took all his graduate students to Disney World but that is a guess. So I did a Google search and found a You Tube of him on Oprah,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tIyt8oSLVs
but right now You Tube is not letting me play the whole tape at any time so I do not know if the glitch is there or not.

HOWEVER

I also found HIS OWN WEBSITE
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/
with a lot of great links including transcripts and videos and how to get a book of his lecture put out by our own HYPERION publishing company and a time line of reports on his health, etc. They gave him 3-6 months to live in August. He is still doing pretty darn well. Quite amazing.

Yeah, they have a hole that we call "timbits" we launch them at those who try to go against us, lol.

They even sold a doll of him/her way back when, yes I had one, lol.

Oopse--Quoting myself
Only thing I don't see on his You Tube movies or website is any mention of God. Surprised me, I expected that would be a piece of his coping.
