It's pretty large at 116mb, just to warn anyone who might not be on a high-speed connection.

I'm working on getting it on YouTube as well, but that'll take a bit longer (and will be worse quality).

Apple's Quicktime is highly recommend for playing the MP4 file (available at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download for those who don't have it).

Enjoy!

Obviously, I'm not doing something right...I downloaded that Quicktime since that was a newer version than what I had and then clicked on your link, but I got nothing except a white screen...

I'll look forward to your YouTube version...

I tried and it said there was a script error......I'll have to wait for YouTube too.

Hi Marshay!!

Hey Cat! The videos are SO great! It's so amazing watching them and actually getting to see what's going on. Thanks for doing it and for all you're doing for Justin!

YAY JUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep having fun, for us too! But don't miss anything because of it. Hang the camera around your neck if you have to--just don't forget to hit record if you do!

Not to distract from the CMO finalist competition, but I thought you guys might want to see the meeting of "two non-top 3" CMO finalists at Disneyland this week. Here's me and my family with Amy Kate and her daughter, Chelsea (the girl in the pink shirt):

A special thanks to my awesome wife for surprising me with my own Andy-mated Avatar shirt!

By the way, we'd planned on meeting at noon inside the animation building at California Adventure...but it turns out she was in line right in front of us walking through the entry gates!

Hey Andy! You feel free to interrupt here ANYTIME!!! You and Amy Kate certainly have that right!!! I LOVE your shirt! And I love that you guys just ran into each other, even before you were supposed to! It's a great picture, thanks for sharing it! Hope you all have the best trip ever!

Hi Marshay!!

Hello Ann and Tooth!

I'm going downstairs to watch some TV and do a baste stitch around a Mickey head (simple up and down) to the t-shirts we are going to tie-dye this weekend! So I won't be on for a while.

Ok, sounds like we've got several already that could use the first ever DIScrap Weekend.....so should we give ourselves a few weekends to get ready? Any suggestions? My only "please no" weekend is May 17 & 18th. Other than that I'm good. Oh wait.....you'll also have to give me a weekend to FIND my scrapbooking floor since I don't have a special room like SOME people . Hmm, which FLOOR should I try to find?

And maybe we'll get someone to start a thread where we can post the pictures so we don't alienate all the non-scrappers here.

Ok friends.....I HAVE to go teach. I've already sacrificed my shower for the day....sorry about that....... but I'll be back tonight after 9:00.

Love y'all......

Okay, I'm 1/2 way through catching up the pages from today and HAD to chime in. I think you all should come to my house. My business is scrapbooking and stamping and I have a workshop in my basement that can seat 12. We'll have plenty of room, lots of snacks, and great company. I have two scrapbooking clubs and one stamping club that meet monthly and we have a blast. Come see me!!

JenniferAtl, I love your pages and your room. I'm going to post a few pages a little later tonight if I can.

Cat, I'm wishing I was there with you...Calgon, take me away! I'm loving the updates and thinking of Justin and Tripp all day today.

And, FYI, guys you CAN scrapbook too. I had a really neat guy and his 16 yo daughter in one of my clubs. He loved it. Our company also has several male consultants (which I think is really fun).

HELLO FROM WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!!!

I can't stay long and I (unfortunately) haven't had a chance to load an pictures or videos here for you to see. HOWEVER, I see Cat and Ricky have been keeping you VERY well informed.

I wish I could stay long to fill you in on everything, but I hope you understand that we have another LONG day tomorrow!

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!! Thank you so much to Cat for keeping everyone posted! It was wonderful to meet Ricky today as well.

I am more grateful to all of you than ever. YOU and your votes helped make this possible for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Before I go (again, I really wish I could stay and chat!) please know that after having met and spent the last day and half with Tripp and David, I can assure you that they are both wonderful guys, passionate Disney fans, amazing fathers, and each would make an outstanding CMO. I hope I'm earning your extra votes as well, but rest assured that they have 3 great candidates!

Keep voting for your favorite!

Hey Justin! How's the adrenaline level???

VERY, VERY, VERY High!!!

Thank you so much for following this so closely, everyone. WE all LOVE knowing that you are watching us and catching whatever updates you can. I means so much to me!

 

[Justin M]

THANK YOU, everyone! I'm crashing for the night, but I really want you all to know how much I appreciate everything!

Love ya! Have a great night!

Well you mean a lot to us! I know we all wish we could be there too! Get some rest, and just have a blast!!!

The rest of my pictures! Most of them are the parade after the Loud Crowd competition!

At the Loud Crowd I had the most surreal moment: I was standing on mainstreet, asking people passing by to please stay and help make noise for my friend Justin. It was wild - how lucky am I?

I think I finally accepted that they knew what they were doing, and maybe I really wasn't supposed to be in the top 20 after all! What a relief!

Ricky described the contest correctly - so I don't have alot to add. We lucked out that a number of people were willing to stop and yell for Justin. I really couldn't see the crowds for David or Tripp.

Justin's family is super! They welcomed me in, and I had a blast hanging with them all day!

 

[Circusgirl]

What a terrific thing to come home after a ridiculously long and hard day at work (I didn't get to peek at the events of the day even once!) to find all these great videos and pictures. THANKS CATHIE AND RICKY!!!!!

Congrats Justin and Tripp on your super cool first day. And congrats Justin for utter success in the competitions!!!

Back to voting....

I guess I didn't get the crashing into the tables video of Justin I mentioned earlier - nertz!

I did get some interaction between the 3 CMOs earlier today - I think you'll like it!

Oooh! This and the new pictures, even of the parade are so great! Piglet flying a kite! You know too, I really wish we could have gotten to know David here! I was glad you told him we knew him...hopefully that was encouraging to him in some small way.
