@danny1649

I will consider itbut if I bend guidelines for this thread what do I say to others when I close their thread at 250 pages. Danny

Thank you for considering our request.

What to say to others :
shhhhhhh......
This can be our little secret

Thanks again

And.So.It.Ends! (The Roll Call, not the Thread. I hope the thread can continue through SWW V!!)

All updates to SWW V are complete and the SWW V Roll Call will soon be posted (POST #10,000 for me!)

The Roll Call Thread continues as the AP/DVC SWW Poster trading site:

My List:
Best of SWW 2015 ~ meeting yulilin and Steph before the SWW season began!

Worst ~ not really a worst but rather than be in FL for SWW V, we (DH, older DD and SIL, and CM DD) will be on a cruise to Alaska where the average temp for June is 61 degrees! Yay for cooler weather ~ it's been 98 here in Central CA.

As DD continues her ascent within TWDC (watch out, Iger), I will acquiesce to her request that "Itinkso" find a new hobby. It has been fun! ~ I very much enjoyed helping out yulilin by overseeing the Roll Call both last year and this year!

May The Force Be With You!!

WARNING!

I HIGHLY recommend you avoid purchase of "her universe" or "tee fury" if you are a plus size.

I bought one from Her Universe first and it should have been equivelent to a 3X according to their site, but it's more like a medium. I gave it to my daughter and it fits her. (She wears a medium, or size 12.)

I bought from tee fury a size 3x. It SAYS 3x on it, but looks like a medium, too.

These were not super cheap either.

I also bought one from Torrid (and VERY not cheap) and this one thankfully is sized correctly.

eta: if you are not plus size, they are probably just fine. Although I do wonder since her universe sized itself 4 sizes too small, does that mean if you buy a REAL medium it would fit a toddler?

I hear you. I am not skinny but not plus size either.... however, in her universe clothing I wear an XXL!

 

[yulilin3]

A thousand thanks to @Itinkso you've been able to manage and keep the roll call thread in working order.
I loved meeting you and your daughter, can't wait until we can meet again.
Itinkso will be missed on the board. Big hugs and kisses and have fun on your cruise

 

[d-r]

Hmm, it was not in the package. Good idea though. I MUST fly back down from KS to get it, just in time for Weekend 4 of course...

if you want me to mail you one pm me.

HI I will put in a Monday night Rebel Hanger photos.
Very cool and laid back, more like a universal character meal than a disney one.

Maybe there can be special consideration for event specific threads? Since this thread will end (here or on a new thread) in a couple weeks and we are already nearly 4x the old limit? Although I am really not sure if there are many event specific threads so that might be unmangeable across the board.

I consider not closing I will talk to my fellow mods and not close unless other mods agree.It still comes down to the question of bending guidelines.You do understand moderating this many pages is hard. Thanks Danny

Thank you. If you've been following along you know that this thread has been nothing but helpful. Everyone is respectful and there has never been anything inappropriate. At this point I would hope the other mods understand that we're just two weekends away

Finally got a Jedi Mickey for Friday night. Sweet. Once I get the confirmation e-mail I'll be releasing a Jedi Mickey for this Thursday for 6 people at 7:35 if anyone would like it.

 

[NebrMom]

Has anyone used the bus from CBR to HS on a SWW? We would like to be there for the opening show and rope drop. Will we be able to get a bus that early and how much time should I plan to get there?

We were on the CBR bus to HS on Friday about 6:30 am and were there in plenty of time before gates opened and were quite close to the storm trooper show once we were let into the park.

 

[slaveone]

The other thing at play is we Should of been closed on April 1st if the 250 page count was Held to. I would love for the thread to stay open till the end of sww if feasible.

That horse sorta left the barn 700 pages ago, which occurred 2+ months ago. I just don't see the urgency to continue to "bend the rule" for two more weeks until the end of SWWs 2015 when it's gone on for this long. And we've pretty much been moderating ourselves.

 

[yulilin3]

@d-r those are great pics, you guys met everyone

 

[soniam]

Rules are rules.... At almost 4 x the rule limit already!

Rules, schmules, I want my monkey man

 

[mmafan]

Fellow Diser's as a rule posts that exceed 250 pages are closed I will give this thread 1 more day and then I will close it.I hope you understand how hard it is for a mod to try to manage a thread that has this many pages. Danny

BBBBOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
