Oh, I got one!!

What was the first Disney movie you ever saw?

I'm not sure if this actually was the first one but it's the first one I can remember. I remember going to a movie theater with my Mother, her friend and a childhood friend, it was one of those places where they play older movies for cheep money double feature type stuff. We saw Old Yeller I forget the other movie. I must have been six or seven years old. I don't think I stopped crying for a week. Now that I look back on it, what was she thinking!!! I still can't watch Old Yeller. That's one Disney movie my kids haven't seen and they wont with me. I'm a tough Corrections Officer/Football Coach with a slight Disney issue, I don't cry!! Now I'm getting all worked up! Travis Coates standing there crying about to shoot Yeller! Thanks Laxmom, first you call out my spelling deficiency and now this!!!

Sorry, HR. I didn't mean to leave emotional scars!!!

Oh, here, your special question of the day, just for you!! How long until your trip now?

That was a tough movie. I don't think I've seen it since!! Should we change it to animated movie?

O.K. I'm over it now.

18 days 16 hours 35 minutes and 47 seconds!!! Pretty soon I'll be doing the single digit dance!!!!

Oh, I cried so hard at Old Yeller and Bambi - those are the two I remember the most. I also recall the Fox and the Hound and I loved that movie

Me too! I still have trouble with Bambi and haven't seen Old Yeller in forever. Too tough on me!!

Fox and the Hound was a good one! My two favorite lines, "I'm trackin' sompn'." and "I'm a hound dog." Love that little guy. Ok, what were the characters names? Toby and......?

It was Copper and Todd.

 

[Laxmom]

Thanks! Wow was I off! I haven't seen that one in probably 13 years. That is, and always has been, one of my favs. Jungle Book still has the top spot though. For my birthday, I got the anniversary edition. I'm not telling you which birthday!!

 

[minniekissedme]

Give me a break, Minniekissedme! Think about it! Lady and the Tramp? Hawmps? Anything?

Honest to goodness I really truly don't remember. I do recall seeing Herbie the Love Bug oh so many years ago. I remember watching Disney and Hanna Barbera cartoons but I can't answer what came first! Now I will say the I've probably seen them all since DS11 has been in the house! I respect all the oldies but if there's a better movie than Ratatouille...I'll cook for everyone!

disneymotherof3...I am sooooo Hairspray'd out! Love it but...we saw the Broadway show last week...awesome...I was dancing in my seat at the end of the show. We have the CD and it's the only thing we can listen to in the car. The neighbors just let us borrow the movie last nite and it's been viewed at least three times in the past 20 hours! Good morning Baltimore...there's the flasher that lives next door...!!!

I don't know if you saw it on its original release...but I did. Also saw all the original Mickey Mouse Club ("Mickey Mouse roll call, sound off now!) episodes in their first run, and was infatuated with Annette even before she...uhh...developed. Oh, and I'm a retired federal probation officer who is not ashamed to admit weeping openly over Old Yeller - and countless other Disney (and similar) movies.

Love Copper and Todd and those sweet innocent little voices. I have the Fox and the Hound 2 as well.

I am also a jungle book fan! I like everything about that movie! So many good movies - so hard to name a favorite

Well Grandbuddy, no I'm a little too young to have seen Old Yeller in it's first release. I think my mother was thirteen when Old Yeller was made, but to me it didn't matter when I saw it I had no idea what I was in for.

This question of the day has me thinking, just to show the level of Disney insanity I have reached, in my house every Saturday night is Disney movie night, if there is something going on on a Saturday then we will move it to Friday or Sunday. This last Saturday was 101 Dalmatians, my DD's pick, we pick up the movie a couple of weeks ago with the special re-release at the Disney Store. The week before that was my turn, Toy Story. Every Sunday we have Disney Family game night usually we play "Disney Scene it?" but tonight we decided to play Disney Animated Movie Trivial Pursuit. Anyone else do this kind of thing, always looking to add on!!!

 

[Laxmom]

You got me beat, HR. This time of year with lacrosse and college classes, we are lucky to eat dinner together. I'm afraid the thrill of watching Disney movies with Mom and Dad has been traded for dates with the girlfriend and video games. But I remember when......they just grow up so fast.

Talked to DS starting college (again) tomorrow and wished him the best on his first day of school. I remember his first day of kindergarten. The picture of him in the backpack bigger than he was flashes in my mind. Now he is a married man and on his own. I'm not sad that he has grown into such a fine young man but that it seemed to happen overnight.

The Disney moments you are making with your kids right now will be the memories you and they carry for the rest of your lives. I guess it is my turn for a Mom moment.

Back to work tomorrow. That week off was way too short!!

 

[minniekissedme]

nope...not that we don't enjoy the movies and Scene It but we keep a broad base of entertainment! Maybe we can work on an IM game of Scene It between families...only use the cards for questions! That would be going of the edge.

Don't think we ever forget the first day of kindergarten, or the myriad other milestones. Is there a better reason for being in "waiting for ROFR" purgatory than the memories we hope to make with our kids (or in my case, kids and grandkids)?

Hi, guys!!!

Even though I think my 150 pt VB contract will get ROFRd (couldn't find what was passing, but now I know what I offered was too low ), I'll at least get to pass the time by being at WDW!!!

We're leaving tomorrow at 5:30 in the evening and staying at SSR for a week! My MIL/FIL, BIL/SIL are all going and we're getting 2 2-BRs. I cannot wait! Between wondering about this VB contract and having a couple of bad weeks at work, I'm just glad we're going away.

Hoping everyone waiting hears something really soon! The wait is just agonizing!!! Wonder where at Dis ROFR is handled??? Think I could go and push all of our contracts through? I'd gladly take them Starbucks!!!

Guess what??? My last day at Dis, we found out we passed ROFR!!! Was such a wonderful trip and finding out we passed topped it off! Here are the details, which I'll also post in the ROFR thread:

150 points at VB @ $60 per point
Dec UY
150 2007 points and all 2008 points coming
Buyer pays MFs
Seller pays closing costs and GMAC fee
