The Pursuit of Disney Magic (June 7-14, 2008) ~ UPDATED 9/30 pg. 191

My sister is watching that tonight...she even said at breakfast, "I'm so excited, the Rock of Love finale is tonight!"

And I guess whats-his-toes (Brett Michaels, right?) is coming to our neck of the woods in May for a publicity stop. She and her friends are going.

That's too funny! You will have to ask her if she liked the way it all turned out.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Maybe it was a picture newspaper, no text.

Or an emergent newspaper. "It is sunny. See the sun. See the clouds. See the birds."

With lots of picture cues.

I bet my kindergartners read more fluently

I am sure that they do!

Aww poor Daisy. She can't read and she didn't get Bret.

How was your day? Did you cover up the walls?

More useless Rock of Love info: Daisy's cousin is Oscar De La Hoya the boxer

Clearly, not a Disney day for her!

I did -- the kids were funny -- they were all, "We love what you did with the room!"

I remember him! I wonder if he is still boxing! Small world!

Thanks for your report on TL. We are going to Blizzard beach in June and I'll be going for the first time. (Hence the workouts and lack of sweets in my life) We bought a waterproof camera this weekend so it will be captured for eternity.
Happy testing! All ours is the first week of May. You can feel the tension in the air that week.

I can promise you that no matter what, you will not feel self-conscious at the water park. Really. Really and truly.

You will have to tell me all about BB -- we would like to go there when Connor is a little taller -- I think.

Thanks! You can definitely feel the tension in the air this week with CRCTs -- the students and I will be happy when it is all over!

I changed my ticker too. It's all because of TGS

Yes, TGS found a gem of a website! Did you explore any of the other stuff on there! I found some great stuff that I printed off and put in the trip binder. Thank goodness that we drive down because the binder is beginning to be bigger than my Masters Portfolio was !

I haven't checked out the rest of the site yet. I'm going to need to charter a jet for my binder

Soarin' over NY?

Soarin' over NY?

PERFECT!!! I won't be able to beat that one!

If I attach a camera onto my binder, I'll be able to create an attraction for WOD NYC

Thursday was our departure day -- needless to say we did not want to bid farewell.

Good-bye, Cabanas!

Good-bye, Hammock!

Good-bye, Bridge to the Pool!

Good-bye, Chelsea and Connor! Oops, sorry, we did take them back with us!

Good-bye, Magical Walt Disney World! See You Real Soon!

Awwwww, I hate seeing and saying goodbye to Disney. Back top reality-sorry. back to stretching out the vacation with momentos and Mickey pasta.

It makes me want to go back to the freebie board too for all those perfect sized vacation tidbits!

Loved it, thanks!!! (the TR that is).

We could definitely be long-lost sisters!!! Great costume!!! You look just like Emma Thompson with that wig!!! My friend and I went to the last two midnight releases and had a blast!

Is your dog a labrador? We have a black lab and she is definitely the baby of the family and spoiled rotten!



We are looking forward to Prince Caspian at our house, too! I adored the Narnia books as a child and was thrilled with the wonderful job they did on the first movie. I cried as hard during the movie when Aslan dies as I did when I read the book at 10.



Definitely going to read it! Splash is one of my favorites -- I even refer to WDW as my laughin' place!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this one!
First, NOT a wig. I TEASED my hair!!! IT was BIG! And the pink thing in my hair is a long scarf. Most of the clothing was from Goodwill that i washed up. I could not find a shawl, believe it or not. Trelawney is one of my favorite characters from the books and Emma Thompson played her sooo well!! I just wish her scenes weren't so cut from the movies but I guess they are not as important.

My pup is a dachsund. A chocolate doxie named Hershey. We have a newbie named Snickers-another doxie, but he is black and reddish(typical doxie). They are wonderful dogs, and that is coming from a cat person.

Narnia-I only read them as an adult and before the movie came out. I CRIED, myself, so hard when he dies also.. It is a beautifuly written series of books. I cry as hard for The Last Battle. I have read them 2x over and DD10 is too.

I cannot wait for Dec 09 so I can ride it again-it will just be plain bad luck if it is closed again!
I won't be laughing if that happens. The last 2 times were not funny, but I just laughed the misfortune off... but a THIRD time,huh- I will be mad and possibly just stand by the door and pout till someone asks me what is wrong. Splash just IS Disney to me. It is animated, fun, musical, and has a thrill element.

I REALLY still wanna go back in September, but my finances are screaming NO!!! At least, in Sept, we are planning to head to the beach for a couple nights and I am going to Foley with my mom on another weekend for Christmas shopping. Something we do every year but skipped last year due to the fact that I needed no Christmas gifts. All my gifts were tied up in our Disney trip-already bought for our trip. Everyone elses was done already too.

See ya and thanks for visiting our old DL report! That was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!
