Rose, dahling! The ballerina and toy soldier at the All-Star movie are from Fantasia 2000, specifically the Steadfast Tin Soldier segment. Just letting you know. Love your pics. Only 2 months left for me and I'm about to burst from excitement!

Thanks! I haven't seen Fantasia 2000 yet. I hate to admit I haven't seen much of the original Fantasia, as I have seen the first 15 min of the original Fantasia and the kids turned it off on DH and I This was yrs ago. I only have it on videotape

St. L- please get well. Have a great trip!!

Hi to all


Watched the Chicago Grant Park fireworks on tv last night on WGN tv. The fireworks part was ok. The music stunk
They always used to have the Chicago Symphony Orchestra perform the 1812 Overture. No CSO and no patriotic music at all! Just used rock alternative music the whole time. The thing is, they always use the rock music for the NYE fireworks at Grant Park. So why just rock alternative for the 4th as well? I'm wondering if Mayor Daley is cutting back on the budget on this? Probably using money to promote for the 2016 olympics? I don't know. Just a small vent

May go to a neighboring festival tonight for the entertainment and fireworks, maybe. Supposed to be a Paul McCartney and Wings tribute band tonite. I love Paul But I don't want to hang out with the drunks, tho. The suburb where I live doesn't do anything for the 4th, but they do for Labor Day weekend. We'll see if we find parking or not.

Ok, hope everyone keeps safe!
The natives are restless here, so I gotta run.

You're welcome. Glad you are doing better!

 

[roseprincess]

the town has fireworks for the 4th and one other day at the ballfield.
nothing at the lake here.
we never do the chgo fw but watch it on tv sometimes.
too much of a crowd to go to chi town for it.

i liked your pictures. everyone looks so happy and no one is sweaty...





rose, hope your 4th is great also.

Glad you and everyone enjoyed the pics!
Chrissy wasn't always happy in the pics. She has a 'tude at times, as you know
I know we were sweaty, just we didn't show it in the pics I suppose

last night was not ideal downtown for the fireworks in chi town.
son left on a train minutes before the shooting.
another gang incident and more dead now.

tonight the crowds will be worse.
there is a 25 mile back up for the hoosier fireworks i heard.
it starts tonight but to get there on the other side of the il/in border, the traffic is horrendous. that happens when you live in a big city.
the newscaster was saying it could take many hours to get there

Oh I will Rose and the tooth ache is calmed down and the throat thing is too so all is begining to be well and seems to always happen before and on the way back from vacation but anyway thanks for the well wishes

St L....why don't you go to acute care centers for the toothache and throat.
if you have an infection, it won't go away by itself and it could ruin your fun at the darkside.

would be cheaper to get it taken care of while still at home than use the acute/er centers in orlando.

The toothache started yesterday but the throat I have already been to the doctor and they said it was due to stress and not taking my bloodpressure meds and since taking my meds agian my throat is getting much better .

Just popping in to say "Happy 4th of July" to all our American homies in the box

A rumor is on the US resort@hotel forum.Someone posted that the FOTL pass for staying on-site is only good for 1time per ride per day.

Its not what they advertise on the website.

Anybody else heard this

Or just a rumor or joke??

i posted in reference to it on that thread.

the person that posted that thread, i know.
she would never make it up.
if she says it, then it is what she was told.

as i remember it, there have been some July's that the fotl had limitations on it for fotl to be valid only once per hour up to a certain time.

this was to keep the lines from clogging up.
the regular lines can have hour long waits on some rides. this happened when a new ride was open for that year. it happened the summer when Shrek opened and the Mummy.

with Simpsons opened now, it could be a temporary thing for what dsmom's brother & friend experienced.

i'm sure it will be lifted once the crowds are lesser.

but then, i could be wrong but i think it will be only because of crowd control for the new opening ride.

if this is a permnant thing, i wouldn't plan to stay onsite then. others would follow.

 

[donaldduck352]

Kinda rattled me when I read it thats all.Thats the only reason we spend the extra money to stay on-site..

So lets hope thats all it is.

I seem to remember something about limiting the EP for onsite guests until 3pm during the summer from last year. I could be wrong though.

i don't remember last year todd but the year before cause my friend called me saying i gave wrong info out on the fotl.

it happened to me the day of the ap holders day to enter shrek.

that was in june and that afternoon after the opening of the ride and the ap "party" event was over, they took away the express lane.

before we left, 7 days later, the express lane was reopened. then they did the restriction again a month later for that ride.

 

[macraven]

no one else has commented about limitations in the park with the fotl card so maybe it was just one isolated thing that was going on one day.


our town does fireworks on 4th of july and labor day nights.

it was really a dud this year.
i only stood in my front yard to watch it in the sky as i'm about 4 blocks from the site they were lit from.

it even was a waste of my time just standing outside and being attacked by the mosquitos we have here........with all the rain we have gone through, the skitters are plentiful.....

I think I was the only person on here that worked yesterday? (it is now Saturday) I did sign up, wasn't forced. I did it because I can get 8 additional hours of vacation time, instead of 8 hours of pay. I need the days off for my 2 week October stay, so I didn't mind, it was an easy day, there were 6 people in the entire plant, (I work in maintenance at the Post Office for those who haven't read that on here before) where there are usually over 100 on dayshift. Pretty easy day, and we went to see Hancock after work, I thought it was an awesome movie, no matter how mediocre the reviews were!
