The Top Three Meet Dis-nee (CMO Contest, Part Three)

[Mrs. Fleagle]

Ok Marshay....I thought I was clever when I made crescent rolls look like seashells for my daughter's birthday luau. Man, you put me to shame!

 

[catotigger]

Hey gang - check your email - I just got an acknowledgement I entered the cmo contest:

A great big Disney HELLO!
THANK YOU for entering the Career Builder Chief Magic Officer Contest!

Notice they still don't have the right name!

Ann - don't freak - they are still NOT looking for us!

I AM FREAKING CATHIE!!!! I did not get that email....I just checked and I got a silly little email from Disney Destinations about maps of all things....

WHAT DID YOU GET???? They found you Cathie!!!!

p.s. did they seriously get the title of their own job wrong???

 

[Suz D]

hahahaha.... we don't have to have a "who's got the bigger font" fight here, guys and gals... It is making me laugh though.

I respect the decision of those who choose to support Justin. He's a great guy and would make a wonderful CMO, so would I, and so would David. David hasn't been represented here much if at all, but I did want to commend him. He had some great TV press on two early morning local California TV news shows. He looked great, carried himself well, and was comfortable on camera.

This is going to be a tough final 3. I still haven't decided who I am going to throw my support behind... oh wait, never mind.

I appreciate all of the support that I have gained here and else where. As I have said before, I never expected to make it this far. This was my first venture into any kind of contest. Back when it all started and I saw all of the videos that were coming in after I had uploaded mine, I thought there was no way. I didn't even think they would watch mine. I feel very blessed to have made it this far, and to have met so many wonderful people along the way. I also would like to send out a huge thank you to those who have chosen NOT to support me, as it is you that keeps me working VERY VERY Hard to prove myself.

Congrats and Good Luck to Justin and David! I look forward to meeting you and your families while there. We leave in a few hours.

Also, please no fighting and no biting. Cheer all you want, but don't turn it into anything nasty.

Thanks!

Very classy comments!

Okay, I've been pretty quiet today - no Tigger CMO pics, updates of what I'm doing, etc.

And there was a reason for that - not only did I change resorts to Coronado, I had a big discussion with myself, and even argued a little, and well the end result is...

I'm staying here until SATURDAY!

I will be here to watch Justin, Tripp, and David compete!

I am so pleased, I can't even express it. I was talking to my sister and she pointed out that I lament that I'm not married with kids, but this is the kind of thing you can decide to do if you're single.

Soooo, Cat O'Tigger, girl reporter, will be keeping you all up to date with how the contests go! And with my own sidekick, Tigger CMO!

I just hope Justin and his family don't think I'm a stalker!

Cat

Are you staying until 4:30 PM on Sat? If so, come join us for the "Sink off!" If not, I'd love to visit with you Fri or Sat to say hello and maybe catch a show or ride a ride together.

I love your more recent Tiggers too, they are getting harder to find.

Cool! If you manage to find the video segment, I'd love to see it!

Ok, so I went to Costco and got one of their Spinach Salad plates for lunch yesterday and as I was preparing our lunch, creativity struck!

Remember, I didn't say I was good at it ... just that creativity struck!

Tiger running through the grass in the rain!

Elephant playing in a puddle in the sunshine

THAT IS SOOOOO AWESOME! I LOVE IT!!!

Wow, they messed up the name of the contest themselves? That is too funny!

I only got the Disney Destinations email, too...

I didn't know they changed the name of the contest now that it's almost over ... or did Tripp do some voo doo and sent a faux email!!

Thanks for sharing that Marshay!!! I am going nuts here.....

Back to voting though............

 

[Suz D]

Oh and David too, it would be awesome if he won -- unfortunately, I'm talking about DavidW.

I'm sayin!

 

[Marshay]

Love the tiger and the elephant............. * Thanks for that!

Marshay - * is all I have to say.

Ok Marshay....I thought I was clever when I made crescent rolls look like seashells for my daughter's birthday luau.* Man, you put me to shame!

Aw, thanks guys!!! I knew you'd appreciate it!

And to make it more Disney, the Tiger is Shere Khan and the elephant, of course is Dumbo!!

Hmmm, what to do tomorrow???

 

[Mrs. Fleagle]

Hey, Eric didn't get an email either! Maybe Cathie is special? Well of course, didn't we all know that already?

 

[Suz D]

Thanks everyone - I knew you'd think it was more neat than it is odd!

Just need to reschedule my Magical express pickup, and I'll be good to go - on Saturday!"

That is so totally cool! You can tell yourself that I think that she made a great choice in persuading you to stay. Just out of curiousity, how did that work with your airfare?

 

[catotigger]

I am so sorry, especially to Ann for causing a controversy.

This was such an obvious mass mailing from Disney Destinations, I made the mistake of thinking everyone got it. I think what Ann and Marshay got was THE newsletter, and what I got was an OFFER TO SUBSCRIBE to the newsletter.

I only posted because the name of the job was wrong, and I thought that followed the whole lack of professionalism thing.

Again - so sorry if someone thought something important was going on.

You are so very precious Cathie......you have NOTHING to be sorry for!!!

I was soooooo excited for you that here you were at Disney and they found you! Hence the call to you....I will let you have dinner now, k?

Just so you know, I even went so far to think that maybe you could talk them into letting you be a reporter for the contest - like an onsite Brady....

I am telling you friends, I can actually apply my Disney Denial to other people apparently!!

You are wonderful Cathie, thanks so much for sharing all you do with us....your trip, your photos and your emails.

So this is for the teacher in you:

I will not freak out regarding Disney contact again.
I will not freak out regarding Disney contact again.

All right Ladies and Gents....

I'm pooped (don't comment HMF) and my hands are cramped, plus I hurt my back doing that campaign dance earlier. Must go find a heating pad, some advil, and my snuggly Eeyore (not referring to the Mr.!)

Good night everyone....see you all tomorrow. And thanks for everything.....you all are just awesome!

Safe travels Tripp and Justin - Have a great time and we'll be waiting for the fun to continue!

That is so totally cool! You can tell yourself that I think that she made a great choice in persuading you to stay. Just out of curiousity, how did that work with your airfare?

Well, I couldn't get a flight for the $100 change, so I'm just keeping it for my next flight. Then I got a $150 one way from here to home on Southwest. Expensive considering how cheap the original was, but I just couldn't leave being this close to the competition.

I got passholder rates at the coronado, so each night is about $104 which is excellent!

So the whole deal is costing me quite a bit, but it just seemed like I should go for it!

Hello!

Wow, it is obvious that I missed an emotional, tissue-filled day! There is so much I want to say and respond to, but I'm afraid I won't get to it all.

So, most importantly . . . thank you. Sincerely. A big part of what makes us all love Disney so much is that the magic they create is something we can share with others. More often than not, we can't help but share it. Everyone on this board has been so much fun, so supportive, so encouraging, so funny, so honest, and so passionate. You are the kind of people I want to surround myself with in everything I do. YOU are the kind of people I LOVE to share the magic of Disney with. (well, I guess I love to share it with everyone, but I couldn't have asked for a more incredible community than this one.)

So, I hope you'll understand if I can't get to every post I want to reply to tonight. I will try to catch up with most of you, but regardless, please know I'm thinking of you all and I can't find the words (that's right, the words aren't even in my vocabulary - and that's saying something!) to express how much joy you have already given me!

 

[Justin M]

Hey gang - check your email - I just got an acknowledgement I entered the cmo contest:

A great big Disney HELLO!
THANK YOU for entering the Career Builder Chief Magic Officer Contest!

Notice they still don't have the right name!

You have got to be kidding! Just when you think it can't get any tackier, they kick it up a notch and not only send this generic thank you e-mail out long after the majority of people were eliminated, but they mess up the name too(no offense Tripp we know you did it on purpose right?) I'm honestly embarrassed for them.

 

[Justin M]

THE FLEAGLES ARE THE BESTEST MOST KINDEST FOLKS AROUND!!!

Yes they are!!!!
