I believe that congrats are in order.

Speech… Speech… :lmao:

============================================

Also... I’m still laughing at Nate’s rather creative use of: :thumbsup2

So I figured there would be times when we’d need an actual version of the “Not a Thumb” emotacon. So here ya’ go

Feel free to use as necessary. ;)

The way I was typing yesterday I would have had that after every sentence. :rotfl2::rotfl2:
 
The second paragraph on this page http://www.mousesavers.com/travelagent.html tells you all that you need to know.
You forgot about the cool DCoK Mickey ears that you get. Sheesh! Seriously, though - with our knowledge of Disney, wouldn't you want to have the opportunity to visit orchestrated by people who make one or more trips to the World each year and who know tips and tricks from years of experience? I talk people into going all the time and the money that would go to paying some other travel agent could partially come to me and help me pay for our trip.

Sounds good to me! :thumbsup2:thumbsup2 Nothing wrong with 2 logos!
My fear is that Disney may pull out the "Disney" card and ask us to change it due to it's obvious use of the Disney Channel logo. This is hand-designed and the only thing that's close is the Mickeys (which are prevalent anywhere) and the AK logo, but that was hand-cut as well.
 

Hey guys, I found this story on All Ears and thought you might enjoy it. It's another example of the magic that happens at Disney :thumbsup2

Thank you to all of the DisDads who have served and who have family members who have or are serving currently :thanks:

We’ve not caught this at MK yet, we plan to the next time we’re there. We did catch it in Disneyland a few weeks ago and the do it a little different.
We were getting ready to board the train at the Main Street Train Station when we heard the band coming down Main Street playing patriotic music. The announcer voice came over the loud speaker that the Flag Lowering Ceremony was starting. We sat down and watched. When the band got to the flag area the Dapper Dans marched out and sing along with the band. The announcer then informed us that they would be playing all of the Armed Forces Songs and would any Former and Current Service Men and Women to please step forward and join the band for the Flag Lowering.

Just got back from Busch Gardens VA, got to brush up on Commando skills, we left NJ fri night with a 90% chance of heavy rain in VA, Sat it looked like it was going to rain all day but held off till about 6, we got everything done:cool1: The threat of rain kept most away, but it could happen at WDW so like a Boy Scout you have to be prepared:woohoo:
 
Randall what is up with all the stop dead traffic on 95 in MD we were in traffic 2 hrs each way, everytime it started to move we never saw any reason why it stopped in the first place:confused3

That picture brings back memories of going to Daytona every summer and driving on the beach when we were kids. I remember Dad would always take us to a certain restraunt each year called "Aunt Catfish" at the end of the POrt Orange Bridge. It was good back then. Have a great trip!:thumbsup2

Yeah....we actually went to Aunt Catfish's last year. The place is always so busy!

We just returned from our favorite spot...DJ's Deck....yummy.

Ahhhhhhhhh… There’s my ocean. I’ve been missing it lately.

Remember when I said I’d try not to be jelous?
We’ll I ain’t succeeding. :lmao:

Sorry! Not really...jk. We've been lucky enough to come here for a week the last 7 years in a row.
 
Congrats on the winning the hat, Greg!

Finished up a busy day at the MK! Got to MK at 8:40am & found the MK had opened early. Took Ron's advice and soaked in the sights, sounds, & smells of Main Street. Took lots of pictures, talked to the characters & played games with some CM's. Still had plenty if time to do Space Mountain/Tomorrowland & Buzz Lightyear x 2. Cut over to Adventureland, got Dole Whips, & proceeded to make the rounds to Fantasyland. Finished almost everything we wanted to do by noon, & had a nice relaxing lunch at the Plaza. By noon, the park was mobbed. Planning really pays off!

Pool & shuffleboard at the hotel in the afternoon, then dinner at the GF cafe. The burger looked good, but I still picked the steak.

Tomorrow, a split stay. DD & I at AK. DW & DS x 2 at HS

Good night, guys!

Hope everyone had a good weekend. We're on the road...kids on spring break, visiting relatives.

Chris- sounds like you are doing things right at WDW! Keep up the good work and avoid those crowds!

Greg- congrats again

Aaron- I think the podcast was a hit... and I like the Tron:Legacy background music!
 
Hey guys....just wanted to give you a taste of our accommodations!

View from our balcony here in sunny Daytona!
That's a great view. A car show and the beach at the same time.

Nice view of the parking lot!!!!!!!!! :lmao::rotfl:

Mipatn/Greg,

Welcome Back. What's your favorite ride at BG?
So what does Mach Tower look like? It's not really themed in any of the drawings they show online? Have they started doing any work on the ride that's going to replace BBW?

Thoughts?
That's pretty awesome. On first glance my thought was swap the MK resorts so that they are in their respective spots on the monorail. But I fully admit complete design ignorance, so my views are design changes are meaningless. Without changing anything else the order starting for MK would be

MK Contemporary EE WL Epcot YC TT AKL Animal Kingdom BC TSM BWI HWS Poly BTMRR GF
