Does this count as a hidden Mickey? I'm not very good a finding them. Not enough patience I guess.

 

[Muushka]

Yes, he is a cutie, isn't he. Good job!

Sure is! But I noticed over the last trip someone vandalized him and broke his nose off (your pic shows this) I wonder if owners ask for him to be repaired if they'll do so, they may not even be aware.

I don't know why, but I've never noticed Jimmy posting birthdays a day early!

We have been doing that for a while. . . confusing to some, but that way we have two days to get the wishes in, although sometimes there are stragglers.

Happy Birthday Di
Welcome to the 6th decade of life. I am glad to have you join me. I haven't got to enjoy mine much since I have spent the bulk of it recuperating from the breaks, but I think the best is yet to come.

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Happy Birthday Di!

Enjoy your special day!!!​

 

[Corinne]

It actually started with me and I think he just carried on the tradition.
It gives everyone ample time to say Happy Birthday!

I like it!! Of course, I'm still late many times!! But, not today!

Happy Birthday Di!!!!

Hope you have a fabulous day!!!!

 

[jimmytammy]

Sorry for the confusion Corrine, Muushka is right, she started it all( so we will blame her )but in all seriousness, I do it because I know I will miss someones special day if I dont. You know how life gets in the way sometimes, and you forget things, well thats me And besides, I fear sleepy may fire me if I dont keep up

Sleepy, glad you and Luv are having a great trip! Sounds like fun, and apparently, you didnt need a luggage carrier afterall

Question, does anyone know if special food kiosks stay open during special events like F&W and F&G during extra magic hrs.?

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!

This wish comes a day early, but I hope your Birthday Celebration tomorrow is as magnificent as you are!

Just think, together we are embarking on a new decade in our lives; a time to reflect on the past, and to create new dreams for our future. Years ago I asked you to come grow old with me, the best is yet to be.

Hold tight - the best is at hand . . . . . so let's go to Disney World!!!

(10 more sleeps)

So sweet. I should show this to my DH and teach him a thing or two....


HAPPY BIRTHDAY DI!

Hello, Groupies! Just checking in from the GCH, DL, & CA Park. Today has been a fantabulous day for Luv's actual birthday. Started with Starbucks (which sits mere moments from our room) and pixie dust, Disneyland style. Our cashier at S'bux also works in DL, and she was so nice to chat with at 6:20 a.m. After a bit, she asked us to wait for just a moment. She came back with three FP-like tickets good for any ride but Radiator Springs! She literally made me tear up. Since we hit DL for EMH this morning, we were able to save all those fix for CA. DL was awesome, and we hit nearly every single ride we wanted with minimal waits. After that, it was off to CA for the afternoon where we did CA Screamin, ToT, and Soarin using those gifted tix. Amazing! We had a long day yesterday--happy as it was--and experienced a few less than stellar moments (long wait times, overcrowded park, mediocre food), so today was extra special. We are headed out to Carthay Circle to eat then on to the World of Color show after that.

Luv says to tell all "thank you for all the warm wishes on my birthday--you guys are awesome!". To that, we extend our happy birthday wishes to Di. We know that technically it is tomorrow, but we are jumping the gun! We'll check in later!

Sounds like you guys are having a blast, and that is really cool about the FP's! What an awesome barista Sorry you guys ran into a few not so great experiences. It's a bummer when that happens at Disney, but it's true that a bad day at Disney beats a good day at work. Hopefully dinner will make up for it!

[jimmytammy]

Thanks Julie!

Well folks, we are headed to Manteo(Outer Banks) for a long much needed weekend after Tammy's tax season over plus CaptD and me going like madmen trying to keep up with work load at the retirement community where we remodel. Glad to have the work but the completion dates have been piling on lately. Dont really need to go off this weekend but as my Dad says you will never go if you dont plan
So, hoping we will have internet but if yall dont see me for a few days, ypu will know why

 

[Corinne]

Happy Anniversary Muush & Mr. Muush

Have a great day!

 

[Corinne]

JT and CaptDhave a great time in the Outer Banks! Would love to visit there someday. My best friend is obsessed, and visits there every year--a tad bit like her friend is with WDW

As all can see, internet is good
Corinne, we love the Manteo area and it is a good base to work from. It is on the sound side of the water, beach at Nags Head 10 min drive. The Lost Colony of Roanoke is located at Manteo, Andy Griffith lived here until his recent passing, his DW still lives here, Kitty Hawk where the Wright Brothers took flight 15 min drive, Bodie Lighthouse maybe 15 min drive. Quaint little village with all locals, lots of history, really great seafood places close by, etc.
