The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 30

[UP Disney]

One of the most embarrassing photos of me!

I should delete it before the other get back!

Would that be mean?

O.k. Everybody pull yourself off of the floor from laughing so hard!

I have to make sure everyone see this one!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

The bids are currently $48 and $34.03 with only a few hours left. Would that be worth the effort if you hadn't made them for Leighanna?

I just looked at the auctions, too! I knew they were ending today, I just didn't remember what time.

I think for $50 each it would be worth selling them. But since I can't sew a stitch my opinion isn't worth much!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Well, I have to say we underestimated our October Trippers. I am shocked that some of you are actually attempting to read through all the stuff we posted! I promise we didn't say anything ugly about any of you!

 

[UP Disney]

I thought this was cool - a map with where the photopass photographers are. I'll be checking this out before our next trip to make sure Chuck & I hit them all.

Hmm. Sorry for slacking off there, your highness!

I got 11 pins in today. 4 Tinkerbell, 7 Stitch. The Tinks are the ones from the starter lanyard, 2 each of 2 designs. Not very exciting.

One of the Stitch pins is from 2002, and it is pretty nice. DH snagged it to be a keeper.

Elizabeth, I'm going to want some assistance in getting the right pins at good prices. I'm not a real big trader but I want to get some pins for my niece & nephew so they can trade if they are interested during our trip next summer. I'll be bugging you starting next week probably to get the info about which sellers on e-bay are the good ones.

They are quite a bit "plumper" than the ones from the grocery.

I have decided DS needs to do that homework assignment and turn it in for no credit. Just because he already got a zero shouldn't mean he gets out of doing the work.

Good call on the homework. That will teach him that not doing it isn't an option. He can then decide whether he prefers doing it for credit.

Yikes! Why, Oh Why, didn't I remember to delete that picture?!

If you can get to the Disney Store your best bet is to go buy the Snow White sets. There is a coupon starting 11/1 for 15% off that they are handing out now.
The other good option is to order from Darlene and Nena. $2.30 per pin, shipped, and they will try to include characters you like if you request them.

Not really the same topic, but...
Disney Shopping has free shipping on personalized items through 11/12. The code is SHIPPZ and it works on the pin trading portfolio/bag thing. I have been thinking of getting one for DH (and maybe one for myself) but I am going to watch and see if there might be 10% off or something in addition to the free shipping.

Well, I have 80 watchers on the one, and 54 watchers on the other.

I have the most watched items in that category. I have a feeling (at least hopeful) that there might be a bidding frenzy at the end!

I already have orders for 8 dresses, if I decide to do them. I just have to figure out what price I am willing to do them for!

I think I will list the one again, but as a custom size, and then see what I might be able to get for it!

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

It is so good to have all of our Oct. trippers back!

I knew that some of you would be going back to read every page of our "pouty, pity party, posting party!" I guess that would have been a P5

I lost my one long multiquote, and don't have the time to go back and redo it.

Great photos everyone!

Lots of and to all that need it!

Have a great day all!

 

[UP Disney]

All the time!!! Eric keeps saying we are going to get twin beds. We do not sleep well at all together.

My in-laws have a King Size headboard but two twin beds pushed together. They have a king size comforter. This way, they each have their own bed but it looks like one big bed. It works out well for them.

 

[Pooh67_68]

That is good to hear.

As for very few jobs, I would think that tells them that the few jobs you held, you held for a long time. That would be good, no?

Though I do have a line on a new job...just have to dust off the resume....for as old as I am there are very few jobs on it.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Well since a lot of you are encouraging me to at least try, I thought I should give it a go.

Boy, you sure are coming out of that shell!

 

[UP Disney]

These were taken espically for Terry, Steffy and Vicki. I know how much they like the native american pow wows So I thought we would take these pictures for them. This is part of the Brazo's river exhibit.

Thanks for the pictures. I'm loving all of them.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Well it could be because we actually didn't post a lot of nonsense. We didn't have to resort to the alphabet song or other such postings.

Here are our photopass photos. There are a lot, but most of them are just duplicates with borders or enhancements.

Let me know if it doesn't work.

Deb - I can't see them. I deleted my cookies and everything. It just takes me to the "sign in" page.

So the server is down at work

No work to be done...but the bad thing is my boss is going to have a conniption fit because I can't access anything.

The mother board may be fried....a whole week without the server....poor me.

Poor you!

Lindsay - OK, so EIGHT of us didn't make the panel. Really, what are the chances of that? The speculation is that anybody who owns DVC got booted off, and my suspicion is that most AP holders got ousted, too. While there is a girl on the TPAS thread who says I am wrong, I daresay I am right. (It made me laugh that she claims she has superior knowledge and still made it in. How on earth does she know where they drew the line?) If there are AP holders who made it through it is because they didn't say they are AP holders in their little application. I don't know how they managed to weed out everybody who posts here frequently unless they have some bizarre way to cross reference. It is a very strange coincidence, though. For EIGHT of us with completely different family sizes, different age kids, different regions of the country, different experiences to share, NONE of us made it to the second tier. I firmly believe there is a "threshold" of knowledge that they didn't want applicants to exceed, and if you tipped your hand in the application it automatically pulled you out of the process. The people who made it to Round 2 still haven't really been scrutinized very carefully - that part is yet to come. There are a BUNCH of men who made it in, so "Moms' Panel" is a bit of a misnomer. I absolutely think any answers will be filtered before they go on the Disney site. I am sure those winners who go to WDW in December will get a heaping dose of what will and will not be permissible, and I am sure they will be required to sign all sorts of documents promising to comply or face legal action. From that aspect it is better that I didn't advance because I am rather liberal with my opinions.

I refuse to apologize for being disappointed. I am HUGELY disappointed and I see no problem in saying so. I'm not a gracious loser. Am I happy for the people who made it? Not really. I don't know any of them! In order for me to be happy for someone I would need to feel like they really deserved to be there. None of the DDA made it, and neither did anybody else whose username looks even vaguely familiar, so I can't really endorse any of them. There. Now I feel better.

You crack me up!

I haven't really been paying attention, but that's interesting that no one is an AP holder or DVC member. I'm sure many that are have a ton of knowledge (maybe too much of a good thing), but you'd also think they'd be the most "loyal" to Disney since they've made a significant investment in the whole kit and kaboodle. I would love to know what questions they asked them for the 2nd round (and to read what were some winning entries!).

I did briefly see in that thread on the TPAS board that a guy who was on a Travel Channel Show for the "Fan's Perspective" also got selected for the 2nd round. Now that doesn't seem fair to me!

Aren't you glad?!

Thanks for posting that, Vicki! I'm going to send it to myself so I can check it for any updates before we leave. Very cool!

I think I will list the one again, but as a custom size, and then see what I might be able to get for it!

I have a feeling the end will bring a flurry of activity! I know I'll be watching!

My in-laws have a King Size headboard but two twin beds pushed together. They have a king size comforter. This way, they each have their own bed but it looks like one big bed. It works out well for them.

My grandparents did that as well!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

OK, ALL OF YOU WHO JUST RETURNED, HELP!
I read on the "Codes & Rates" board that there is a bounce back running right now that is a % discount on resort rooms. Did any of you hear about that? I need to know how long it will be available for booking and what dates you can book for. Did anybody hear about this??
I called Chanon and she doesn't have any info on it.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Lindsay - I agree about the Dad from the Travel Channel. But then again, he is probably already familiar with the "taboo" topics. He is one of the ones saying those of us who are disappointed need to get over it. Oh, I see. He made it to the next round but the rest if us shouldn't be disappointed? The Round 2 questions are posted somewhere. I'll see if I can find them.

 

[Pooh67_68]

My secret boyfriend is on.



























Ok, so John does know that I have a crush on Emeril.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I am still waiting for a response. I haven't changed my e-mail in forever.

I am so excited for the winners.

How would you answer the 3 questions in round 2?

1. Best planning tip for a family planning a vacation.
2. Best memory from most recent trip.
3. What part of WDW resort would you recommend a family visit.

Here are the Round 2 questions. 100 word maximum on each response, due by midnight last night.
