And Ricky! Thank you too, that was a great video as well--right on Main Street! You really have an amazing job to get to do all that you do!

I even saw you in there Cat!

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!

No such thing as too much fun Andy!!! It's great to see you all. Thanks for sending news our way. Good goin' awesome wife!

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

Hi Marshay!!

If you have Quicktime, open it first. Then, go to File > Open URL and paste in http://www.attractionsmagazine.com/CMO-Day1.mp4. It looks great!

Thanks Ricky!!!!

Man..... I go away for a few hours to make dinner, eat, and watch some tv and I'm waaaaaaay behind.

Justin - You are doing an amazing job, keep it up!

Cat - I can't thank you enough for being there and sharing your pictures and video with us.

Ricky - The same as Cat.... thank you for sharing your adventures.

Andy - That is awesome that you got to meet up with Amy Kate.... how fun.

Now I want to have a DISmeet of my own.... is anybody from this thread going to be down at the World from May 16th - May25th? Anyone? Bueller?

That's super! (Thanks, Ricky!)

Great job, guys!

(Hey, Justin: Did I see you attempting a special rendition of the "Funky Salmon" out there? ... No wonder you injure yourself while directing the church choir!)

Another Video:

Interviews with Justin's Posse after Stroller Derby!

And -- once again -- thank you, Cat! I loved "meeting" the Muchoney family! They're a funny bunch! I especially liked Justin's parents' cracks about dodging strollers in the Parks and teaching him a "pretty messed up" alphabet in elementary school.

Everyone looks like they're having a great time!

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

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!

Thanks for checking in! I'm glad you guys are having such a great time!

I know there is a DIS-wide meet on either/both May 21 and 22. Look on the DIS Meets section.

Wow. What fun!!

Let me say this again -- thanks so much Ricky!!

NEW FLASH

This is a challenge for all 3 CMO Finalists

Mention my screen name during any interview and receive 100 votes from me. Each additional mention of my screen name earns you 20 more votes each time. It has to make it to the final product to count.

CAT - I am relying on you to relay this to the guys tomorrow or rather...today.

Should be easy enough to mention, but will it end up on the cutting room floor?

 

[wotruba-disney]

What a day!! Thanks Ricky, thanks Cat!!

Go Justin - Tripp - David!

 

[kennythepirate]

I'm going to Disney World! See you guys soon.

 

[BigThunderMtn]

I'm going to Disney World! See you guys soon.

Tell everyone we said "Hi".

And give them all a from us...err...I mean a manly handshake...ARRRRRRR!!!!!!

 

[catotigger]

Morning all!

Wow, what an amazing last couple of days!

I finally had time to go back thru and read the posts - mainly I've only forwarded info to tothesea, Ann, or DISgeeks, and asked them to post for me. Or when I posted from my phone, it was just a post - not easy to go back and read your posts.

So many of you have said nice things - and I want to acknowledge that YOU ARE WELCOME!

I have had such a good time - and I feel like I've really been a part of it all.

Thank you to YOU guys for encouraging me to stay! I think it's probably some of the neatest money I've ever spent!

I have to tell you tho - I'm beat! I've never been at Disney for so long - and I'm not complaining - but I can feel it! Achy like you won't believe. But I think I can manage to hang on one more day!

I feel relieved to know that Ricky is going to be there taking professional pics and video. Takes pressure off me!

I will do my best to get some more candid video interviews, tho.

Take care, and I'll try to send photo updates to my behind the scenes team: tothesea, Ann, and DISgeeks.

Cat

Good Morning!!! To echo Justin, this really is an amazing experience. Next to the birth of my children, this is one of the most incredible things I have ever done. Keep watching the dreamcmo.com site for videos.

I was exhausted after yesterday and finally got some sleep. It's only been a couple months of no sleep, what's a couple of more days huh?

We have another busy day today. I will try to catch up on all the PM's and e-mail tonight, unless I pass out.

Thanks for all of the support. Keep voting as it has been said, these challenges hold no point value, only the votes count.

We are heading to meet Justin and David and their familes for breakfast, then it's off to Epcot. Wish us luck!

 

[Justin M]

Good Morning Tripp! See you downstairs at breakfast soon!
