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

[TimothyTheLurker]

AWESOME! No tears this time...just a really big smile!

That's better now Mrs.

 

[Mrs. Fleagle]

Signing off for just a bit.....

Must clean the house before Eric comes back from soccer. I wouldn't want him to think that all I do is sit here and refresh my page every 5 seconds?

Be back later!

The "coronation", as they are calling it, will take place in front of Cinderella's castle the morning of Tuesday the 22nd - not exactly sure what time yet - and it is supposed to be shown live on www.dreamcmo.com...

Coronation?

Justin, they will need to order your crown a little larger
than the bicycle helmet you love to wear.

Again, if I get more reliable information I'll be sure to pass it along!

I can't believe I am going to be there for the "coronation"! My company is sending me to a conference at the Disney Institute and we are going to be in the MK on Tuesday getting a "behind the scenes" tour. I wonder if they will let us watch the "coronation" since the conference is on customer service. My DH and DD4 are tagging along and will be able to watch the event. Lucky ducks!

 

[Justin M]

So it sounds like you might have a few free days in the parks then?

Yeah, we have Saturday, Sunday, and Monday that are pretty much free to spend with our friends and families. That was a very pleasant surprise to me!

That's fantastic! You'll have to let us all know how the conference is. I've read about the Disney Institute customer service conferences before and have always been fascinated! If you're allowed to share any neat info from your experience, please do!

 

[Justin M]

Page 100 already! WOW!

On that note, I have a rehearsal to go set up for...

Have a wonderful evening! Catch up with you all later!

You got it! I think I am more thrilled about the dinner on Monday night and VIP viewing of Wishes. Plus they are putting us up at the Contemporary!

 

[KigerKat]

And I should REALLY cut back on the makeup! Yikes!

You have to wear all that makeup for your WonderFleagle and BatFleagle disguises!!

Thanks Justin for the info on the contest! Looks great that you guys get to actually enjoy Disney and not go 24/7!

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

No Tigger.... no Beverly!!!! Don't do it!!!!!!

Bwahahahaha!

Resurrecting that oh-so-fun Beverly-face thread, because there are even more newbies on board! Click here for a laugh.

'Glad to see you're enjoying yourself, Cat! HMFan is right, though. You should probably lay off the Beverly!

 

[FirstTimeCaller]

Ok, first BTM used to freak me out, but not anymore. YOU however are just popping out of nowhere, right on cue EVERY time and making me laugh! You are a very good lurker...maybe you should try out for Super Sleuth Darby's assistant!

Very good butlering... carry on.

 

[Circusgirl]

Thanks Cat and tothesea for the pix!!!

 

[kennythepirate]

And Pirates and Butlers, don't forget us!

Good evening everyone!
And a hearty "welcome" to any new or semi-lurking DISers!

Glad to see you made it Cat!
I hope you're having a great time (as if its possible not too!?).
Love the pics, keep them coming!
Notice the new addition?
I couldnt get it small enough kb wise to go in my avatar...any suggestions?

BTM and FTC....the map thing is neat but can we amalgamate them somehow?
Being Director of Transportation, I will need a good map!
That motorhome does everything but drive itself, but thats an option on next years model.

On the DVC front, I have a few links handy for info and such.
The DVC forums on the DIS are fantastic and full of information.
Any questions are usually answered pretty well and everyones friendly (just like here!)

Anyway, here are a few good ones...

These should answer quite a few questions for anyone interested.
Except the question of whether or not DVC is for you.



So how is everyone???

Cat... you are the coolest!

Herman and the Hermits always makes me laugh. After college, I needed any job I could get.... so I took a telemarketing job for a local Firefighters Association. It was a total scam and I quit after one day once I figured that out. (Plus, I was TERRIBLE at it)

The point of the scam was that some guy was sponsoring a concert by Herman and the Hermits. He was giving 10% of the profits to the local firefighters. So, my job for that day was to cold call people and try to get them to buy tickets. There was a script which tried to hide a very important fact... Peter Noone was not going to be there. (He's the lead singer... and thought of as "Herman")

I didn't make a single sale in 6 hours! I think people could tell that my heart wasn't in it! But whenever I hear anything about The Hermits... I always laugh.

So I'm glad that my pin made it to the Herman's Hermits concert after all these years. Thanks Cat!

You got it! I think I am more thrilled about the dinner on Monday night and VIP viewing of Wishes. Plus they are putting us up at the Contemporary!

Have a truly magical time! Staying at the Contemporary is never a bad thing! Plus a VIP viewing of WIshes! Actually - are you speaking of Monday the 21st? As I'm attempting to lay out a basic outline of how to spend the free time we do have, I'm currently thinking about finishing up Monday at the Magic Kingdom so that our last night there can finish with Wishes. SO, even if I have no idea who you are and am not important enough to be in your VIP section, at least we'll know we're watching the same show!

 

[Justin M]

Thanks Justin for the info on the contest! Looks great that you guys get to actually enjoy Disney and not go 24/7!

No problem!

I actually got the confirmation on our flights today, so things are moving forward!

OH, here's a good question for all the technologically gifted members of this board: I'm thinking it's about time to buy a video camera. Yes, that's right, I entered the CMO contest and don't even own a camera. SO, I took a little trip to Best Buy the other day and realized that my understanding of video cameras is a little bit outdated. What do you guys use? Keep in mind, price is an issue!

 

[Justin M]

And Pirates and Butlers, don't forget us!

How could I forget you?! I figured you could count in the friends column, or family column - - - up to you really!
