The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 24

[UP Disney]

Good morning, DDA!

Have fun prom dress shopping, Vicki! We took the girls out to get dresses for the 8th grade social, and there were lots of older girls shopping for prom dresses. They were so beautiful, but I am not ready for that!

Here are some (not so great) photos of Laura's social dress.

How pretty!

I found a new wedding song! Lost in this Moment - Big and Rich (don't laugh! ) I can't find a clip for you guys to listen to it.
CD doesn't come out until June 5th though...

It was on the daily email from the DizNewsPlus email list, but they didn't give a source.

Okay, I found a second mention of it at laughingplace.com, but still know mention of source.

When trying to find the news on screamscape.com I also found this:

(4/3/07) The unthinkable has happened it seems because in the latest rehab to Epcot’s Electric Umbrella eatery (in Future World) they installed a pair of self service beverage stations allowing theme park guests, for the first time in a Disney World park, to refill their drinks as often as they want just as you do in about every fast food restaurant these days outside a theme park. What does this mean for the future of Walt Disney World? I’m going to make a guess that this is “the big experiment” to see how it will impact not only the rest of the park, but also the profit margin of the Electric Umbrella itself.
It’s no secret that it costs any given theme park only a few pennies for every soda they sell, so they are a huge profit maker. However, Disney can also save a bundle by not having to staff as many people to fill those very same drinks by allowing the guests to do it themselves in exchange for allowing free refills that really don’t cost much extra. This is definitely the place to keep your eyes on over the following weeks.

Found this blurb on www.allearsnet.com too:

At Epcot, a re-imagined Spaceship Earth will combine the magic of the iconic attraction's time-travel adventure into the past with a new finale, presented by Siemens, which lets Guests imagine their futures.

Enhancements to the time-travel attraction will encompass changes to each of the ride scenes. New show scenes will be added to the attraction's story along with new lighting effects, costumes, set decoration, narration and musical score. The time travel adventure will be enhanced through new, interactive touch screens installed aboard each "time machine" that will enable guests to create their own visions of the future and see themselves in that future.

As guests disembark the time travel experience, they are invited to visit Project Tomorrow: Inventing the World of Tomorrow presented by Siemens, where interactive exhibits bring to life the ideas and technologies Siemens is developing to help make the world a better place for the future.

The space is filled with fun, interactive games and displays that showcase innovative technologies. Here guests step into the world of tomorrow and glimpse the future of medicine, transportation and responsible energy management across the globe.

Opening to Epcot guests later this month, the first completed phases of Project Tomorrow will include an illuminated globe -- measuring 20 feet in diameter -- that will offer an ever-changing collage of inspirational images that invite guests to imagine the wonders of tomorrow; Body Builder, a 3-D game that enables users to assemble a digital human body; and, Super Driver, a driving simulation video game that showcases motor vehicle accident and avoidance systems developed by Siemens.

With phased renovations occurring through the year, Spaceship Earth's makeover is scheduled to be fully completed in early 2008.

I do wish that I lived near a larger airport, though. We never get deals like that around here.

If your desperate I could maybe arrange to be adopted for a few days.

ETA: Man, the volunteers are quick around here.

I just wanted to say that I heard the baby's heartbeat today. We also got to see the baby man was the baby moving you could see either the legs or arms moving.

What a great feeling!!!!

Good morning!!!

Hi everyone. Let me first say that I will never, Never, NEVER, NEVER
fly US Air again.

Wow!!! What a nightmare!!!! I am glad you made it safely. Enjoy your time with your sister.

Pretty!!!!!

for your weather! They are looking at a nor'easter here for Sunday. At first they were calling for significant snow accumulations of over 6", but now they think it may come more as rain. I think I'm going to convince Matthew to have me cook him something special for his birthday instead of planning to go out, though. Just in case...

Happy birthday to Matthew!!! Have a fun weekend..get some movies!
We are supposed to have some of that come down here too. Sunday is ticket day for the girls dance recital. I have to stand in line for a few hours so we get a good seat & I guess I will be wearing my Mickey poncho.

Elizabeth,
Good luck on Monday!!
