Hey everyone!! Just a little bit of a "life" update for right now. First of all...
AMERICA GOT IT WAYYYYY WRONG WITH AMERICAN IDOL. SERIOUSLY, KRIS WINNING IS CRAP!
Can you say crap on the Dis? I hope so. Anyway, I was very happy that Shawn Johnson won Dancing with the Stars. All 3 finalists were really good and based on their dancing I think any of the 3 of them winning would have been fair. When I factor in who I actually liked the best, I picked Shawn.
So yesterday, me, Chris, my friend Nicole (who is on the Dis now! I've created a monsterrrrrr
ibedancin824 is her name which she'll be so happy I told you all) and her BF Scott went to NYC to see...
The Lion King on Broadway! OMG when I say this show was amazing, its a biggggg understatement!!! The costuming, dancing, everything was gorgeous! A lot of the performers had to wear mask type things on their heads and then dance and sing and jump and twirl when them on. Coming from someone who was a dancer for over 13 years, THAT IS HARD! The only thing I thought could have been slightly better, and I know this is probably a little harsh, was the singing. I've seen a good amount of Broadway shows in my life (not even close to as many as Melissa but still LOL) and I just wasn't blown away by the singing here. Everything else though was out of this world. I highly recommend this show! We got seats in the orchestra section about 10 rows from the stage for $75 each...you cant beat that!
While in NYC we also went into the Barnes and Noble on 5th Ave (where I bought my very own 2009 Passporter!!) and the World of Disney! Of course going into the WoD was great because it gave me a little Disney spirit to carry me through until November, aside from the show. I went in there reallly looking for another photo album since I printed more pictures than I had room for in the albums I bought. No luck. Tons of frames but NO albums. Bummer. Then we went and ate at Ellen's Stardust Diner. 3 words.
Or is ripoff 2 words in which case it would be 4 words. Anyway, I've never felt more like I wasted $35 in my life. The bill came to $140 with tip for all of us and we have a better diner out here 5 mins from my house. The food was good but not even close to being worth $140. We could have been more satisfied with dinner at Applebees. The singing waiters were actually more annoying to me than entertaining and trust me, I'm not just a Debbie Downer. I'm into that stuff. NOT HERE. Of course because Nicole and I (mostly me) picked the restaurant the boys didn't let us live it down for the rest of the night. We went into the Hershey's and M&Ms store afterwards and they kept telling us we couldnt buy anything because we wasted all our money on dinner.
Oh well, you live and learn. So then we saw the show at 8pm and it wasn't over until almost 10:45! We caught a train back home at 11:15 and I ended up not getting to sleep until around 2am and then had to be up for work at 6:15. I've been a real peach today, let me tell you. So thats my little "life" update. Stay tuned for another TR update sometime this weekend 
That guy does look like Kid Rock!! Actually he looks a little cleaner than Kid Rock.
It was great!! Thanks
Ahhhh you're in WDW right now!! Lucky dawgggggg! We loved TH, I forget if you guys are eating there this week or not!
Glad you liked our picture!!
I always feel like my updates are so long but then I realize its still only like 10:15am on day 2 and I've been doing the TR for almost a month now LOL Thats so cool that you can feed the giraffes at the Cincinnati zoo! TH breakfast was great, we obviously don't have any kids and seriously enjoyed ourselves sooo much.
Thanks for the compliments on the safari pics! That stinks that you couldn't get TH ressies, keep calling back and trying if you really want them! I would suggest it! I've heard CP is very delicious too though so I'm sure you wont be too bummer after you eat there instead
Uh oh, scary lurker alert.... Just kidding! Glad you posted and joined in! I'm glad I'll be able to help people out with our thoughts on not doing the DP. How old are you and your BF if you dont mind me asking?
I think I need a Disney trip at the end of every semester, what do you think?
OMG only 4 hrs! I was a real witch with a B today

Great job on your grades
OK, I can't remember if I have commented on your thread or just been a scary lurker, but I am loving your TR! Can't wait for the next installment!
I am so interested to hear your thoughts on not doing the dining plan, as I can't decide of DBF and I should do it. Seems like you guys are similar to us, so your opinion will definitely help me.
Congrats about being done and your awesome grades! School is so stressful! You definitely need a Disney trip when you're done.
Uh oh, scary lurker alert....

Hope you got SOME sleep last night!
OMG only 4 hrs! I was a real witch with a B today
Chris and I are like shocked because, like I said, we never thought we'd be able to stay at a deluxe for many years. 
although i have next june in mind so fingerscrossed and if i do i Just have to see a show on Braodway although I've never even seen a show before 
because i see it on the net on a number of sites so it ruined the show a bit for me but i still enjoyed it. I agree Adam should have won, i picked him for the winner from the auditions i thought he was fantastic, but i have to say i wasn't tooo disapointed Kris won as i did like him too plus he's nice to look at
