Hi Shelly - Snow??? That is insane! It is already 78 out here at 9:30 a.m.

Hey Sea! Yep, chance of flurries tonight and tomorrow. It won't accumulate or anything (at least I hope not!) but it is going to be cold. I knew it was too good to be true when we were getting temps in the 80's last week!

Hi Mari -Thanks for asking. We got up to the Junior Blind center where they hold the event and we found out he had been transfered to another event called the "Special Games". Basically, he could not compete in the Special Olympics because of the severity of his disability so they have another event for him and others participate in. This was held at Loyola Marymount University. So we drove over there and just got there in time to see him in the parade and see him do a few things. It was basically like a carnival scene, with a couple of bounce houses, petting zoo, and games and food for them. It was fun to see him enjoy the whole thing and we got some pictures and video too. It was very well organized and there were a ton of volunteers to help out and take care of the kids. My godson had his nurse and two volunteers the whole time - I was impressed and grateful that there are still some nice people who care about others who are less fortunate than us.

Sea - How did your DGS do in the olympics???

The weather was awesome. No rain. Just a tiny sprinkle that doesn't even count. Highs in the mid 80s. In the mornings it was in the 60 at park opening, ya know at 8:00 a.m. In the evenings it felt a little cool to me after the sun went down and I could have used a jacket. However, you guys are from a cooler climate so you may feel great and not need a jacket.

The crowds were larger to us than what we were used to. I think a lot of MA, NJ, NY, CT, (New England) was on Spring Break. Some of the afternoon wait times were in the 90 minute range. But we never waited that long. We just do the less popular attractions during those times or use FP.

You guys will have an awesome time!!!

NC ~ Thanks again for the post cards for the kids!! DS9 really looked his over and then shouted - THIS IS REALLY FROM FLORIDA!! when he saw the post mark. I said - of course it is silly!!

90 minute waits you are scaring me!! Sounds like the weather was perfect!

Those are the peak wait times. But you know how to work around all of that.

I don't WE waited over 20 minutes for anything.

Also, it was spring break for a lot of people. You guys will not have any trouble.

 

[NewCrew42]

I am so glad the kids like their cards!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

ok what station is it on usually....

It's on CBS. . . Should start in July.

I'm sure we can work around it with fast passes and so on. . . but I just want the line to be 20 minutes to begin with!!!!!

I don't ask for much, do I???

NC - Are you doing a TR this year???

That is neat about your godson. When I was in college, I volunteered for Special Olympics. I was a hugger. Yes, that was my official title. I got to stand at the finish line and hug the kids when they finished their race. They were so happy at the finish line no matter if they finished first or last. It was so rewarding to the smile on their faces. I loved it!

I agree, 20 min. max for us, beyond that we fastpass. That's why we pick this time of year, usually the wait times aren't too hideous.

I'm down to 14 days and I can feel the anticipation building, makin' me feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas.
