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

[Mrs. Fleagle]

Justin, Tripp, & David​

Well, it's all winding down now....not too much longer to vote. I cannot imagine how you three must be feeling. The trip to Disney and all the perks must in some way feel like a grand prize in and of itself. How great that you made it to the end.

As tomorrow morning fast approaches I just wanted to say a big WE LOVE YOU GUYS to all three! It's been fun getting to know bits and pieces of you and your personalities for the past several months, and especially through these latest videos. This has been an amazing experience for all who have been a part of the CMO process and a part of this thread. So thanks for sharing the experience with us and best of luck tomorrow.

What a weekend!!

I've been lurking the past couple of days, but I haven't been posting much. We had a big sale this weekend at work (I work for a car dealer), and that means my workload has just shot way up!

I didn't even get a chance to watch the "official" Disney videos on the CMO site until yesterday morning. Very cute! I liked the commentators - it made me think of a golf game on tv with the way they were whispering.

Even though I support Tripp, I won't be upset at all if Justin wins. He really shined throughout competitions and proved to everyone why he deserved to be in the top 3.

I didn't get too much of a chance to vote Friday or Saturday, but I got my votes in yesterday and you better believe I'll be voting like crazy tonight.

Alright, it's back to work for me!!

I'll try to pop in from time to time today for a quick "Hi!"

Just my morning diet coke and me. It seems like all I've had time for lately is to pop in and say good morning, catch up on the thread and then off for the day. Jeff accepted the WVU position on Friday. We're starting to pack the house and get it ready to put on the market. Pixie dust will be needed again for the D's. Hard time to sell a house but...


Hooray for moving to an hour south of Justin and closer to Marshay and the Fleagles. Marshay, I'm taking you up on that offer of dinner when we come to your area. It will be frequently I'm sure. Disgeeks, I'd love to meet with you when we come that way too. Amy, how far are you from DC?

I can hardly stand the suspense waiting for tomorrow morning. Who will it be? Enquiring minds want to know! Whatever the result is, I'm so proud of both Justin and Tripp. What a great ride for you!

Does the road trip start tomorrow? I'm anxious to get going on that as I know that there is some concern that our thread will slowly dwindle away. I hope not as I've so enjoyed getting to know everyone here!

Have a great day. I'm off to get boxes and craft supplies for a Mother's Day craft for Katie's class.

Wish I could be at the MK for the announcement!

Go JUSTIN!!

Hey everyone,
Just popping in to let you all know that I'm still alive!

Patrick "Cut-Out-Guy" Hurd

This will be soooo very cool!

Sorry! My DH said he would do this for me, since it would be easier for him to post to our website then to explain it to me. But I just found out my DH never sent the video If nothing else I will mail mine to you. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi, I've been lurking for a while on all three threads but until now I haven't spoken a word. I think that I felt that not entering the competition and you all being brought together as such good friends during this time, that I felt I was eavesdropping lol I had to come out of lurkdom to say that I have so much enjoyed reading this thread, the banter between you guys has been great.

Yeah!!! Another one comes out of lurkdom. Welcome and we hope you post a lot more.

Hmmm, let's see...as initiation into our DISnee thread, you need to recite one thing unique to the top 10 posters on this thread. Let's see if you're really paying attention!!

Ready? Go!

DITTO. All three of you did a wonderful job at Disney. You all had lots of fun and it really showed through on the videos.

What great memories!!

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

Good morning everyone! Home stretch here! See you at the voting booths!

And for Justin, Tripp and David....I am really thinking of you three today and how exciting this journey must have been for all of you.

Although the coveted title is at stake, the camaraderie you shared while together during contests and beyond came across as the real "win" for all of you!

Have a great day everyone!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! on the job. That is so wonderful for all of you!!

And of course the offer for lunch and/or dinner is good! I look forward to getting to know you and your family outside of the DIS. We can have DC area playdates with DisGeeks, too!! What fun!

http://www.wdwevent.com/cmo/

thanks! I wonder if they have the bandwidth set up so we can all be on at the same time!! I'm setting an alarm to make sure I don't miss it (sorry, DD, I'm busy!!)

 

[spreadingpixiedust]

good morning everyone!

I really agree with the bittersweet comments. I am happy and sad at the same time. When I first entered this contest I thought what a wonderful thing to win. But I enter lots of contests. Publishers clearinghouse never knocks on my door. The HGTV dream home goes to someone else. The free this or that is soon forgotten.

But something happened. This became more than a contest, it became a dream. Even when I knew it would not come true for me, I had become such a part of the magic that I followed every word, every post, picture and video. I love you guys. I am looking forward to our virtual trip.

But, I feel that it is finally fading for me. Bittersweet indeed.

 

[Marshay]

What's really cool is that if Justin or Tripp win the CMO title, we know they will keep us informed along the way (to the extent they can). We know that even though the contest ends on Tuesday, the CMO dream lives on for a year! And we can all be a part of that.

Hmmm, let's see, we've done 3 threads in the past 3 months, so that means only 12 more to go until the next contest!!

 

[CalDisneyFamily]

I've been to Disneyland 3 times in the last week and going again on Tuesday,
Amy Kate Connolly

Keep voting!!!! Last day!!!

How embarrassing...3 posts...

 

[Mrs. Fleagle]

.......... Amy, how far are you from DC?

Suz D

Suz, We're about 2 1/2 - 3 hours from DC. We should all try to meet somewhere once you're settled in! By the way, wishing you all the best with the new job, the sale of your home, and the move! I'm thinking about you!

Cat - Thanks for all the pictures, videos etc. and even those "Where's tigger?" photos that sent me mad trying to find him

Justin and Tripp - Good luck in the finals. I have been quietly voting since the top 20 has been revealed and have also managed to slip in a few for David too, (although my fav Andimator didn't get through ).

All you guys that did videos and posted links I have watched and thought they were all great. I'm sure everyone had a hard job deciding who to vote for and everyone who took the time out is a winner in my eyes.

The affection you seem to have for each other gives me a warm feeling and I'm glad some of you have met up and I hope you will all remain great friends.

So Tripp and Justin, good luck on the 22nd, I will be routing for you. And the rest of you guys Cat, HMF, Circusgirl, Tothesea, Mr & Mrs Fleagle, KTP and anyone else Ive missed out

Miss Stitch! Hello! I am so glad to read your post today! It's still amazing how many people are following this, and that we may never know them all. I'm really glad that you are here and are talking now! Please feel free to jump in anytime! Thanks again for posting--all the way from England!

 

[Marshay]

How embarrassing...3 posts...

I know -- WE MISSED YOU!!! Come play with us more!!!

 

[tothesea]

I dedicate this way to tothesea: YAY FOR ME!!!!

I'm touched that you guys thought of me.

Aww, HMFan you are very kind! I'll always second a Yay for you!

We could have a big o lunch or dinner at our house! We have a very large yard for our area and room for 9 on extra beds! -- sofa beds, air mattress, spare bedroom, etc.

Seriously. We need to meet up -- doesn't matter where but if I'm sort of in the middle of all things, I offer up my house!

I agree!!! And want to throw in an extra shout out to David H. if you're reading...that we're very proud of you too and really wish we could have gotten to know you. You seem like a really nice guy who would make a great CMO, and would have fit in pretty well with all the shenanigans here!


And welcome back to everyone we haven't seen for awhile and those just getting back from Disney! So glad you all had a great time!

 

[Mrs. Fleagle]

Hey Ann! Where did your link for Justin go? I was using it to direct me to my rapid voting link! Help....now I have to go slow again!

Awesome! You're sweet (and brave) to offer up your house! Let me know when lunch is ready!
