I knew it!

One thing's for sure... 15 hours is still too long!

I pulled 15 hour days as a CM at DL for special parties and the like back in the day... and while yeah I say they're too long today, back then I didn't mind so much - but maybe the OT had something to do with it... as a college kid I didn't mind standing around longer if I was earning extra for it.

Nowadays I'm ready to head home after 5 hrs of sitting in front of a computer. I much prefer the days I'm out on the road meeting with clients to sitting in the office. I often think about if money weren't an object how I'd like to run a restaurant or an attraction again.

This is a drawing by Don "Ducky" Williams of WDW and DCL fame. I first saw a copy of this lithograph during the silent auction on our August 2006 cruise. I placed a few bids on the litho, but stopped once the bids went over $500, the final bid that won the litho was $1100. I saw this signed and numbered copy on eBay a few weeks ago and the Buy It Now price was listed at $105. it took me all of about 2 seconds to hit the button. The litho had only been placed on eBay about 2 hours before I saw it. This is a Birthday Present from my DW and DD. DW went to AC Moore this evening and picked it up!!!

Sorry for the blurry photo, but I had to drag the ST off her computer to take this photo. Here I am holding my Birthday Present!!!(my birthday is this Sunday)

I took this photo of the finished project, now I just have to hang it on the wall!!

Quick note...DW pulled thru like a trooper from her surgery. She'll be coming home in the AM hopefully after getting a good nites sleep (she hits the "meds" button a couple times and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)!

Thanks for your prayers!

Stamina sure had a different meaning back then, no?

I feel like I am treading on sacred ground here being I am female However I was wondering if you men do interventions on husbands that are Mouse challenged to say the least.. My hubby would rather pull his teeth out than go visit Mickey... Any ideas on how to convert him to the Disney Dads club?

My feelings are, either you have the Disney bug, or you don't. Of course a couple trips to WDW might not hurt either, could sway his thinking!!!

I too, am a Disney Dad. Have been a fanatic of Disney since the age of 5. So much so that I have a tatoo of Mickey Mouse

You can probably add that to the criteria (although optional)

You love Disney SO much you have tatoos of Disney Characters.

I was thinking of getting a tattoo a few years ago, but never went through with it.
