I know...even the regular nonMK 1 BR points are more expensive than say BCV or Savannah AKV...

We might just have to do BLT for a few days and then change resorts...

Also, CONGRATS!! I'm not sure if I remember that you own AKV!!! We own there too as an add-on (65pts) to our SSR.

Ummmmm.......Pat........yeah, I'd like to buy a vowel please.....

(thinking I get most MK - Magic Kingdon, BR - would be bedroom, AKV - seems like Animal Kingdom Villas?, BCV, SSR - no clue and BLT just makes me hungry!)

You're right, right, right and then BCV is Beach Club Villas, SSR is Saratoga Springs Resort, and BLT is the goofy acronym for Bay Lake Towers - otherwise known at the new DVC tower at the Contemporary.

Thanks for sharing this with Ann!!

Isn't it funny how many acronyms we have now that there are loads more people using computers than, say, 20-30 years ago??

Just got back from the Disney "What will you celebrate" tour!!! Met some Castmembers who knew Justin (and got to lament the fact that I wasn't chosen -- can't seem to let that go STILL).

Met a production manager who worked on Finding Nemo The Musical. I was hoping to see Mickey and Goofy but they had already gone off to visit some hospitals in the area. When I heard that it made me tear up....really glad that is what they do!

They interviewed me (briefly) and had me sign a release and hopefully I will be on the site for the Charlotte, NC stop. Hey, does this mean I finally "worked" for Disney??

There were computers to register your birthday for the freebies on your birthday. And tons of Mickey balloons. So even though there weren't any characters and we were miles and miles away from the World - it still had a magical feeling!!!

I was getting the kids ready for their busses today and I had a small tv in the kitchen on.

Well, I heard the reporter asking other reporters what their favorite thing at a Disney park is.......talking about Disney in the morning and not on a Disney owned channel??? I looked over and Goofy was behind him!

I thought maybe they were promoting Disney on Ice or something. Kids go off to school and I start my internet search to see what was going on. Ended up having to call the station. No info on station's site. The newsroom said, "It's some Celebration tour." I got as much information as they had (which wasn't much). Then went to check out Disney and yup....confirmed.

My day changed in an instant. I actually was going to get the kids out of school. But I wasn't sure how it was going to pan out so I left them at school. My wonderful husband was working at home and thought I was NUTS! He said, "So....you are going to hang out with all the 4 year olds?" I answered, "and one 46 year old." I couldn't go with just anyone .... so I went alone. And thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Groups of Castmembers handing out Mickey balloons and an invitation to get ready to celebrate with a code for a free digital gift. I think though that anyone can enter but just once a day. Not sure that you need any special invitation. The digital gift was wallpaper and a Goofy and Mickey paper cut out craft thingie. Very cute.

Some of the Castmembers were locals from the Disney Store and then there were the "real" ones from Disney itself. LOVED THAT! I actually hugged two goodbye as I just felt kinda close to Disney just having them there.

One man worked in the Fireworks department.....actually prepares the shows!! So I told him I would be there for News Year's Eve and asked which one we should go to....he suggested Epcot's! We talked about more opportunity to see the show too. I got to tell him how much I loved "Go the Distance" and how much it inspires me as we talked about the Wishes display. Just as we were talking THE song played on their sound system! Loved the insider info from him!

Then, as if I had asked to meet her, I asked a woman what she did for Disney. She was the one who told me she was a Production Manager for the stage shows. I actually kindof shook as I asked, "Do you mean you have a connection to Finding Nemo The Musical?" YUP! She actually helped stage and get it started. OH MY GOSH!!! I got to tell her that I was so obessed with that show that I saw it four times and my family stopped going with me. I told her about my love of Crush and found out which Crush I saw and how I sent him a copy of his show for his family....and, I am SURE I came off like a stalking Disney freak.

But, I AM! So she just got to know me! She asked for my name and address because she had never met anyone with such "enthusiasm" for Disney before. Don't know what she wanted it for - I just loved that a 30 year Castmember saw my love of Disney and wasn't scared off by it.....or maybe she was??? And wanted my address for security purposes???

Thanks for asking Marshay! I am just busting with this today! Like I said, I know I wasn't at a Disney park, but I really did feel the magic today!

 

[Marshay]

Oh, this is all so very cool! Thanks for taking the time to explain it all...

I know you had lots of magic today, but wouldn't it be super exciting if you got something "magic" in the mail in the next few days -- like a chance to go backstage for the Nemo show!!!

 

[catotigger]

Yay Ann!

Glad you got to go...and so glad you got to meet such neat castmembers!

The tour was in Dallas and Houston this week - but I couldn't take off from work...so I'm pleased you were able to "represent" from the CMO fanatics!

 

[TimothyTheLurker]

Any guesses?

Marshay, just know my mind was going crazy with fun ideas. But if she is anything like me.....that little piece of paper will stay in her pocket and go in with the laundry.

Yay Ann!

Another woman seemed mildly interested in chatting so I brought up Justin's name and the CMO contest and the family here. She was amazed. She knew Justin. I told her about the DISbate here and about the boards. She said that when the tour goes to Atlanta, she is going to meet up with Tripp. I told her to tell him AnnDisneyFan said hello!


Cat you SOOOOOOOOOOO took care of us while at Disney World, I just followed in your footsteps!

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

Any guesses?

Are you Sunshine Sketches.com?? The artwork there is wonderful and whimsical.....love it.

Am I missing the question for the guess though??


UPDATE: I must be wrong as the ebay page for the artist says she moved from Toronto to Pennsylvania (and you live in Texas)......So, is it Cathie's cat Bailey??

 

[catotigger]

Are you in the "CatBird" seat?

You are halfway there with Cathie on the left (not her cat Bailey) - now who's on the right???

Actually field seats on Saturday, hint hint

CONGRATULATIONS ANN!!

It's always good to hear when someone receives some Disney magic.

I've been trying to match the balloons with the instant win game since the contest began. I haven't been lucky yet.

CROWS maybe????

 

[TimothyTheLurker]

CROWS maybe????

Crows it is! Actually Cat and Crow (that's me) are getting together tomorrow in College Station as my son wants to attend Texas A&M. I figure if she can cheer on Justin to victory, maybe she'll bring us a little luck in the college application journey! Looking forward to actually meeting a fellow Justin Super-Delegate/Cheerleader!

Wow! How lucky you are Ann.
My dream job at WDW is to work in the Fireworks Dept.

Woo hoo! Can't wait!

You guys will have so much fun!
GOOD LUCK to Timothy Crow's (???) son!!!

By the way, my daughter told me that I have broken every rule that I have for her and my son on the computer. I have tried to meet you guys, I have given you my address and phone number and you have seen a video and pictures of me (and of them). Guess she is right! But you guys are trustworthy, right??? Right????
