Happy Birthday lisah0711
Hope You Had a Magical Day

 

[franandaj]

I'll be there well before December! Less than two weeks and I will be in double digits for my countdown to my stay at the Lodge!

A Two-fer today:

Main Street Ice cream Parlor opened in 1971 as Borden's Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. In 1981 the sponsorship changed and it became Sealtest ice cream Parlor. In 1993 it offically became the Plaza Ice Cream parlor.

When Disney’s Magic Kingdom opened its doors on October 1, 1971, adult admission cost just $3.50, a seven-ride attraction ticket book cost $4.75 and an 11-ride attraction ticket book cost only $5.75.



Anyone with pictures of the Main Street Ice cream Parlor?

 

[Dizny Dad]

Man, are you hitting us early or what?!? Enjoy the day; there's a WDW trip in the future!

Just stopping by to wish lisah0711 a very Happy Belated Birthday! Another year older and another year wiser. Hope your day was special in every way!

Ok, it's 98 degrees here in Philly/SJ and I'm having hot flashes.
Who the heck came up with this game plan?

Anybody have some WL pool pictures? I need nice cool thoughts today.

Hello friends!

This summer has just been crazy. I cannot stop and catch my breath. Here there and everywhere... phwew. Last week I was in Cincinnati all week for work, and then over the weekend on a Scout campout, and tomorrow I leave for CA for my grandmother's memorial service on Saturday. Crazy.

Speaking of the service, I have been asked to be one of the speakers, plus a scripture reader, plus a driver to pick-up (and later take home again) two of the oldest relatives. Saturday will be a LONG, full day. I'm not a huge fan of public speaking, tending to get nervous and voice wavering, etc as a result of my innate introversion (yes Muush, I really am quite introverted and shy)... so pray for me please. Even though a lot of the people expected are of course family members, it doesn't matter. I tend to have issues with public speaking. My uncle tells me they are expecting close to 100 people. Family members from at least 10 states are heading in for the gathering.

I fly at 0'dark 30 in the am tomorrow, and then return home on Tuesday. I will be going to Disneyland on Monday, staying at the DL Hotel. (Couldn't get a room at my beloved Grand Californian... but that's okay, I want to see the renovations at the DLH closely too). Can't wait for that visit. I'll be spending time with my FIL as well, and get to see first-hand how he's doing. And I get to have lunch with friends on Thursday, as well as dinner with a different friend, plus a gathering of friends Sunday afternoon/evening. So it's definitely going to be a full "bang for your buck" kind of trip.

Have a great day Groupies! I'll check back in again soon.

Yep, let 'em jump in and join the fun!

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

Jump in quick Eliza!!

 

[franandaj]

Ooooh! I hope the weather cooperates for some pool time on my trip in Oct/Nov! That looks wonderful!

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Eliza - We were crazy enough to go to Hershey Park in that weather yesterday! We did wait until after 5 though.

Stopher - My prayers are with you. I hope everything goes okay and I will be thinking of you.

 

[cheer4bison]

Thanks for all the excellent pool pictures today, Groupies!

And, good luck Stopher, with your busy upcoming trip. You'll do a great job I'm sure.

Stopher, if I can do it especially with all the prayers the groupies gave me, I feel confident in you also. It was really hard, but I focused on my brother and did not really notice how many people were in the room (and there was a lot).
Good luck and have a safe trip.

I find that very hard to believe (introverted? Stopher???) but I do believe you. I hope that the words flow from you, and that the service is a blessing to all.

Thanks for the photos, Christopher.....BUT, I need to know when you visited the WL and the pools were that empty!!!

 

[Corinne]

Christopher, you will be in my prayers. I am sure you will do a wonderful job speaking. Have a safe trip.

Stop her you will be great...speak from your heart!

And speaking of the pool, when we were there the very beginning of this very July...there were no ducks in the pool! What is with that!?

Meanwhile...very excited..a friend called and asked if I would "tour guide" for them! I was at first reluctant...but they convinced me to go along! We will all be staying at SSR...never stayed there. I'll be there for 5 nights! My guide and I have talked many times about how much fun it would be to see DVC as a possible tour setter upper! Soooo, she is setting me up to shadow someone when I'm down! I'm hoping the state will soon offer early retirement for teachers in the near future!

Anyway...will be heading back to the world August 10-15!
