Ughhh I definitely dislike annoying people at Disney. We're all on vacation, don't decide that your trip is more important than everyone else's.
Yay for the tooth fairy!!!!
You know, I truthfully don't even pay attention to the people around me most of the time. I mean, I am aware that they are there, and I am courteous, but I am usually so zoned in on my group and the good time we're having that I don't notice other people being rude or annoying. This just happened to be in an uncrowded area, and they were particularly loud, so that's why I even noticed. Along with Jill having told me what she said to ther, of course.
You think our shared love of all things Disney would bring people together, regardless of where we choose to stay!
I'm pretty sure Walt would be saddened to think there were those who weren't able to be courteous to others whilst in our happy place
I recall a man one time coming up to watch the High School Musical thing, I think it was, at Hollywood, and he walked right through the group and stood smack in front of a couple of little kids that were sitting at the rope line. He spread his legs out a little and crossed his arms and just stood there, totally oblivious to the fact that he was practically stepping on the kids that had been sitting there. I think he just caught up in the excitement, but I have never forgotten him standing there, nor the looks on the faces of everyone around.
Marc is actually working on a some of the technical aspects of one of my power points for tomorrow night.
I have my BIG paper written and now three small ones to do. UGH!
No visions of straight As this time around. (so I'm telling myself) I get the raise either way!
Stringbean&Wingnut, I always tell Marc, oh just let them have their fun, we will be back and this is probably their one and only trip.... We just walk away laughing or sometimes shaking our heads.
Marc's doing the hard part, and you're hanging jellyfish.
I know which one I'd rather be doing.
The room looks great on the phone pictures. I look forward to seeing the bigger pictures and seeing more details. My stuff is all over the kitchen right now. It's a
Wilderness Lodge Meets Nemo theme - until tonight, when I load it all up in the car ready to be ready to go in the morning.
Darn work getting in the way of my DIS time -- I was ten pages behind!!!
I shall start thinking, but since I don't teach math, my ideas might be limited to things like how many groups of three do you need to make 27.
Say WHAT, LL??? You think you can just sneak that in and the rest of us won't notice???
I am so mad that I have missed the elephant saying that before -- I guess I need to listen much more carefully next time -- although, I suspect I won't hear him until MeMom is sitting next to me.
I am so sorry to hear about this, Elaine!
Poor little sweet pea.
I have a girl that acts like that, too! Congrats to Brooklyn on her first visit from the Tooth Fairy!
Okay, other things I want to comment on...
Yeay for Jarvis having a girlfriend! She is super cute!
Love the pictures of Brooklyn and Bella with Bo! See, Bella just instinctively knew that Bo was a nice guy!
Hurray for Brooklyn starting kindergarten and having a great day! Such sweet photos of her through the years!
Okay, I about fell off my chair laughing over the Hag having to do Vinylmation commercials! How far they fall!
You had a lot to catch up on. We missed you while you were at school this week. I'll be back in full swing tomorrow, too.
It's been fun while it has lasted.
My Math problems will have to be very simple, believe me!
Write down all the pearls of wisdom you learn from raising Chelsea to share with Jill when Brooklynn gets a little older.
Congratulations to Brooklynn on starting kindergarten!! What an exciting time!
And her first tooth this week too. I hope the tooth fairy found her last night. She sometimes forgets to come here... She brings a gold $1 coin and a book at our house. Sometimes we think she forgot but then lo & behold, she has left her gifts under a different pillow in our house.
Well, this was the first tooth, so the Fairy was very careful to do it all exactly right this time. Our Fairy forgot with one of mine one time, too, but I remembered it in the morning. I'm guessing it was with Jill. After the first couple of teeth, I don't think the boys even did the Tooth Fairy thing any more.
Oh that is SO true! Preach, Anita!
Miss Anita Wigd - wife, mother, Mimi, teacher, President of MAW School of Enabling, and now a preacher, too! Goodness!!!
I just wanted to say on this lovely Sunday morning:
I am so happy I've met you all, whether here or on person. It's nice to have friends who "get" the Disney bug & our love of Walt and what he created. Being that it's Sunday, it got me thinking about who & what I'm thankful for, and I just wanted to let you all know I'm thankful for you.
Have a great Sunday!!
Yep, this is a good place to find people who really do get it. It is fun to find friends with this common love for
and the fun it brings to our lives. We're happy to count you among our DIS friends.
I have to chime in on this one. We have never stayed in anything but a deluxe resort or off property house on all of our Disney trips. This time around I have chosen to stay at POP because of your TR's and Poolrats TR's. We could have stayed deluxe again, but I wanted to try something different. It looks like a fun resort for the kids. I honest think my only complaint is going to be full size beds and maybe noise, but I know that going into it. Disney is not about how much money you have, it's about family...and enjoying your family. If people can't do that, then don't come to Disney. Stay home and be miserable. Deluxe or value, it doesn't matter. Grumpy has no value, it's just an unfortunate state of mind.
funny pic to come of how I chose to pay for this upcoming trip too. gotta switch computers.
It will be interesting to see what you think of Pop. Is it great to stay in nicer places? Yes! Did we feel very special while staying at WL, AKL, and SSR? No doubt. It would be easy to get used to that. They are all so nice. We could stay in those regularly if we chose not to go as often, but we'd rather stay value and go more often. If money was not a factor, admittedly we would stay 'higher' on the ladder, because those places are awesome!
How I paid for our next Disney trip.
DH is a company owner. We are not rich but not poor either. I didn't have to do this to pay for our trip but the change was there so why not.
See you too can go to Disney for just pennies per day.
That's great! Thanks for sharing that. Jill has a coin jar, too, and it is exciting when it is time to count it before a Disney trip.
I also made my very first post on one of your reports. I can't believe I have been reading along for three years and have gotten to know so many great people!
We are blessed to have friends from all over this country and from other countries, too, because of this forum. It's wild when you think about it. Count how many people you would not know if you hadn't found the DIS!
Life wouldn't be nearly as fun without all of you guys!
Yea I have a computer again. Brooklynn's pictures were so cute. She is getting so big. Is she ready for school tomorrow?
We will be eating that chicken dinner 1 week from tonight! Hopefully I will have time to get a new phone for FB pics before I leave!
We get back on sat the 20th and the kids start school on Monday. I start school meetings on the 29th and the teaching on the wednesday after labor day. This summer has flown by!
Have a great day back to all the Dis teachers!!
Jealous, jealous, jealous! Have FUN and send us some Facebook pictures while you are there!
I still remember clear as day when I lost my first tooth! I bet Brooklynn will too! It's very dramatic when they come out, but the loot from the tooth fairy makes it better! Wow she is such a grown up!
Well, you can still have "brung" your clan to WDW and behave with class and manners! I agree though, you cannot base your opinion on value resorts on those people - they are everywhere! And there are many lovely people who stay at value resorts - like you and your family and many other dis-friends! And for the record, they should be glad that their children can find fun in the small things in life!
I do this too!! I have a giant coffee can that is decorated with Disney pictures that gets filled up all year! It adds up!
Well, hopefully we can bring some respect to the value crowd.
We try, anyway, as country as we are.
Another coin collector! Yay!
It all adds up to fun, no matter how small it starts out.
I have a girl that acts like that, too!

for Brooklynn losing her first tooth and loving Kindergarten! My DD10 lost her first tooth while in Pre-K at almost 5 years old. We were a bit surprised, but she still freaks out when her tooth falls out and at the sight of any blood. Real fun.
And I like how you got most of your photos from the princess sequence, so pretty 
Has Brooklynn been on that one? Or is she not tall enough for ToT yet?
