, at being a poop. Molly, you're funny.So how are your troops feeling on going for a Christmas time trip, Sherry? I hope everything looks good!
Yeah, I think it is 30 days BEFORE your AP expires. Not after. I think I was making up my own rules. Oh well, I think if we do do that volunteer thing we'll just get the free ticket and upgrade it to an AP. We'll see. That's too far away from now. Maybe I should just ask for DL 1 day tickets for Christmas and swap them like you did and get all that free Disney Money!
I am much more 'open' at DLR than I am anywhere else, I think. I am much more willing to strike up chats with strangers and meet new people and make the most of the experience. I don't think there has been one single trip to DLR in the last couple of years - or maybe ever - where I or we have not struck up a chat with other people while sitting or waiting somewhere. That is one thing out of many that I love about going to DLR - I get the chance to talk (albeit briefly) to people I probably would have never otherwise met. And the GCH lobby seems to facilitate meeting and interacting with people, especially around the holidays. Last year, we sat on the sofas, staking out a good spot for the carolers, and friendly families and couples sat next to us on the couches. We all chatted amongst each other. The year before, same thing - started chatting with other lovely people who were just sitting around in the lobby, by the tree. At one point, I left Shawn at a table in the GCH lobby last year while I went off on my mission to get gingerbread men with ears, and when I returned, a man was sitting in my chair!!! Now, I had no problem at all if he wanted to share our table with us, but there were only 3 chairs at the table and Shawn let him sit in the chair I had been sitting in! But it was okay. He left soon enough. And he even left his water bottle at the table, then came back to get it from us about 10 minutes later, and didn't even bat an eyelash as to what we 'strangers' might have done with his water while he was gone. He just took it back from us as though he trusted us.
(I have also been following your adorable family's DLR adventures in your TR as well!) I was pleased with myself last year when turning the 99 pictures into 300, so I couldn't believe what I accomplished this year. Of course, again, since there were only 30 or 31 original shots, and many of those were similar to each other, there isn't going to be a whole lot of variety in the 559 shots because basically it is just the same 30 photos again and again and again, with the different borders and B&W's, etc. But because PhotoPass gives you a kind of dulled-down version of the photos to play with on their site and the CD versions will be so much bigger, clearer and better, I wanted to try as many of the borders for each photo as possible so that when the CD is purchased, I won't be stuck with one or two borders that are not that great in a larger format! This way, something has to look good in the CD version.
