Fan meet how cool!!!! Watched last night Tue, Wed, Thrus
and Fri.
So sad, very good acting. Can't believe they killed of Nash, loved him from when he first came on!! Have to say even though I haven't seen it much lately they were making him and Jess a little boring and you know what they say in soap land happy boring couples don't last
.
My DM always wanted to go, We are
DVC and would go with my parents at Christmas time. I use to tell her that if she really wanted to go, her and my dad should go. My Dad enjoyed Disney but though he was very healthy he had bad knee's so walking the parks was not easy for him.
He always told her he would take her when he had his knee's done and he could really walk around. Unfortunately, that day never came. He went in for a dble replacement and on the third day coded in front of me. He never regained and was brain dead.
So I made sure to take her and wanted it to be a 'girls' thing. Her, my DD, my DN and myself. Of course that never works with her
oh no lets make this a family vacation my DH and DS should come too!
So we did, DH and DS would go do there own thing, while the girls b/c star stalkers
. It really is a fun time, though Sat (the first day) is super crowded, you get locals that will come in for the day.
We went again the following year, Do have to say I felt like a jet setter
of sorts. Since we were already booked and went back a few weeks later for our usual Christmas time vaca. Please understand I would not be able to do this without having DVC, since I don't pay for accomendations, I had a annual pass that year and I found a round trip for that weekend for $157 round trip.
Anyhoo, we had alot of fun. Mom who finally gave in and was going to get one of those motorized carts (it was alot of walking) she couldn't b/c they are gone first thing in the morning. Sadly many people get them who really don't need them but many of the 'stars' will stop for someone in one of those carts or wheel chair so you do see abuse
. She did get to sit up front for the show by the hat that Susan Lucci hosted a Q&A, she loved it and on Sundays parade we were so close. I saw my mom get tears in her eyes when we were in our 'secret spot' where the stars are escorted in and out to the different events they go to. Great spot you can get pic's and sometimes even though security is trying to 'walk them along' many will go very very slowly so you can get a pic' or get next to them for someone to get a pic. Well the guy who plays John on OLTL was walking down and we are all yelling his name and you know he is a very subdued type even if you've seen him in interviews in real life. There's DM and she's like a groupie yelling his name and waving and he looks up at her and smiles. Well , he's not the smilie type and people were OMG he smiled and I look at my mom and I see her eyes filling.

OKay I warned you in my first reply
. Steve Burton and Maurice no longer do Super Soap. It seems that, for Maurice he's bipolar and suffer's from being in closed in crowds. I heard some years back he was there and due to his popularity the crowds were to hard to handle and a fight broke out. Steve Burton has also stopped because of his popularity. Seems some years back 'fans' got wind of where he was staying and staked out his hotel that he couldn't leave
. So that's when he stopped. It is true that some of the folks there are let's just say not quite dealing with reality. They seem to think these stars are there friends of theirs
.
Well the last time I went was the 10th Aniversary so they had extra 'stars' and yes yes racer chick he was there!!!!!! MY DN as most do loves him, did get to touch his arm as he was being escorted (we were in our 'secret place' again) There is so much eye candy
. He was with Sam then so they were together in the parade and liz and lucky rode together.
We moved around hotel wise that weekend since I sorta booked it last minute and it's hard to get rooms. So Friday we stayed one place then moved Saturday and stayed there Sat. and Sun. and left on Mon. When the Bell capt. brought up our stuff I don't know how it came about I think DN had the ABC soap digest in her hand and he asked if we came for that. So he proceeds to tell us most are staying where we were! Well here's DN asking is so and so here and on and on. He didn't know all the names so she starts opening the book and showing him pictures. Tells us that 'ethan' from AMC was out at the pool the night before. Well that was it DN and DD were going to DTD and when they came back they called to tell me they were sitting in the lobby to see if any of the stars came back.
The pool story actually made the ABC digest a few months later, that he was at the pool and a couple of fans asked if they could take a picture with him.
HOT & HUMID WARNING TO NOT GO OUTSIDE!!!! which is why I am sitting here on the boards insert funny smilie here. DD5, insert rolling on the floor laughing.
I wonder if I could talk my DH into taking our next vacation at that time. 
I ended up forgoing the instruments and joining the choir instead. Turned out good for me, I still love singing, and no instruments to lug around. But, I still think the flute would have been cool.
) There is so much eye candy
We had been fighting for weeks, didn't have anything to say to each other, and (too much personal information, I know) but had NEVER been anywhere CLOSE to that far... and he knew (I thought) that I had no intention of it. I wound up breaking up w/ him that night and then being stuck at the afterparty w/ all of "our" friends basically not speaking to my date.
.
So sorry you are going through this with DS. As I've said before, I fear that is my future with my DS too. What IS it with non-custodial parents? My ex is constantly undermining everything I do--it drives me nuts! Hopefully your good influence will override her lack of it.
