Greetings from Chicago!

It's 68F out today. I just came back from my lunchtime walk.

I snapped this photo outside my office with my iPhone

Wow, that's gorgeous. Chicago looks like it's a beautiful city.

iphone picture is good quality too. Nice Ian. Love toys!

I'm so pleased you're still doing the B2B!!!!! More time to chat and have a coffee!!!

Yes, I'm looking forward to that!!!



Shame you can't make May time at WDW.

Well, what can I say...duty calls!


We went to Lanzarote one of the Canary Islands. It should have been very nice and warm, and it was our first week, but the second it was cool. Having said that you could get out of the nithering N wind and get hot in the sun.

That's the way it is here (northern AZ) in spring...it's often windy, and since the air is still cool it can get chilly, but the sun is very warm.

Well, if you happen to decide to go in June, we'll be there the 6th-13th!

Glad your computer is still usable after your oops!

Not planning a trip in June, but anything could happen...

Oh I am so very sad....I just cancelled our Disney Princess lunch at the castle that we had booked for May 1st. Since I'm not going to be making that trip anymore, I had to cancel. I'm so sad. They said I can call back on June 21st to book it again for Sept. trip. We're doing five nights at WDW after Tortola cruise. I just hate having to wait so long for my Mickey fix. I'm used to doing WDW twice a year and cruising once a year. This time it's going to be one year since doing World and a year and a half since cruising. That's way too long. I'm so sad.

I can relate to "way too long". I'm itching to go to DL this spring but don't know if I can make it happen.


Me and John both grew up watching Walt every Sunday night on TV in black and white. We watched the Mickey Mouse Club too. Annette was my favorite.

Me too!!!!

I got a call from Mrs. Bush's today. They told me that Ray is complaining about his head hurting and he wants me to take him to the doctor.

I just took him for a check up last week and he was in excellent health. His blood pressure was spot on perfect and his heart and lungs were strong. He only has some arthritis otherwise he's physically healthy as an ox.

He was a hypochondriac before he fell down the stairs and injured his brain. It used to drive mom nuts.

So they wanted me to talk to him. I told him that he was just at the doctor and he was fine. I said if I take him back to the doctor, he will want to run many tests and that we would spend a lot of time in a hospital and it would cost a lot of money. I told him that if it got worse to let me know.

It's like the boy that cries wolf. I don't know when to believe him or not.

I told him that I was going to take him out of Mrs. Bush's for the day on his birthday in two weeks. I said that we'll be having pizza and ice cream. He was very happy to hear that.

I think he just wants attention. It's so hard to determine if it's real or not.

This stuff is very difficult!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!

Our Patrick has BIG plans for HIS day! You know he only 'shares' it with everryone else in the world!

We are going to Raglan Road at Downtown Disney this afternoon. Patrick wants to see the dancer and the band and eat there! We have gone there on St. Paddy's beforen, and it's a lot of fun!!!! We missed Guiness night the week before last, so we have to go totdeay!!!!!!

Sounds great Hope Patrick enjoys sharing his day with everyone at Raglan

Oh I am so very sad....I just cancelled our Disney Princess lunch at the castle that we had booked for May 1st. Since I'm not going to be making that trip anymore, I had to cancel. I'm so sad. They said I can call back on June 21st to book it again for Sept. trip. We're doing five nights at WDW after Tortola cruise. I just hate having to wait so long for my Mickey fix.

Deb It'll go by in no time! Sara and I did the Princess breakfast at the Castle back in 2002. It was awesome I understand about needing the disney fix. I have been going twice a year, actually planning so I could sometimes just squeeze a 3rd in before my AP would expire. But between cutbacks at work, and the odd cruise here and there cutting into my allotted vacation time from work I will not be able to have my wdw fix quite so often. I'm lucky to be going this May, but I'll only have half a day in Sept and since I'm cruising next April and was lucky to get the "cheap" disney airfare, I won't be able to spend extra days at wdw before or after. So...I don't know when I'll get my next real fix after May Maybe the fall of 2010? But that, of course, depends on what I end up booking while on board for 2011

I knew Spoodles was going through a reno during May, and just read this today too. Glad I went to Spoodles when I did. I enjoyed it, and found it to be moderately priced...bet the new one will be a little more pricey???!!!

I'll say an early goodnight to you all now! I want to check out a few more threads on the dining plan. I still haven't made a decision on this for my May trip. I was only going to get a one day park ticket with my package, since I still have an AP this trip, but now I'm thinking of getting a longer no expiry ticket that I could use for future trips. I probably won't be getting another AP any time soon.

I have a very sore back today, haven't had this pain for a long time, sure hope it is short-lived I have had to cancel my hair appointment for tomorrow, I just wouldn't be able to sit comfortably. I'm supposed to go out with my mom for lunch, I hope I don't have to cancel that to...I'll wait and see how I feel in the morning. I couldn't sleep because of it last night, so am very tired today. At least I'm off work for the next two days. Have a good night all!

Good points...

Oh that is not bad, it is not long way to go as this year ... remember book it on 21st June... Write down on calendar....

Yea, I'm watching it live. It started at 11:00am and goes until 3:00pm. They just had a huge group of people marching and playing bagpipes. It sounds so nice. They have fire departments and police departments all marching. They have marchers doing dances....little kids all dressed in costumes. There's a huge Irish community in NYC. After the parade everybody goes out for food and drink.....corned beef and cabbage and potatoes and beer. Everybody wears green and dyes their hair green and paints their faces green. I used to do it too. I'm part Irish. But they always say, EVERYBODY is Irish on St. Patrick's day. It's a huge fun party with the whole city.

I'm listening to the narrator and he's got such a great accent. I love listening to it.

Tonight the Empire State Building lights up green. So cool.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone.

WOW... sound great...

I have to mark my calendar and make sure I get it right. I am so looking forward to eating a meal inside the castle. I can't wait. Have you ever done it yet?

No I don't know how to booking it If I go back to WDW, I will contact you to help me booking it.... as we won't go back until 2011/2012...

Good Morning

We cancel the Baltic Cruise last weekend

Because of exchange rates are very poor and the Baltic Cruise are very expensive plus excursions too...

We had the second thought then we decided to cancel it.

However, we change the planning that we are going to Dover to Barcelona with Disney Cruise..

We told our kids about Baltic but the kids seem happy for Dover to Barcelona... oh well...

Ian and I are bit disappointed as we were so looking forward to, oh well better than nothing...

It will be good to be on the magic anyway... just remember that!!!

Made it to the Mid 50's... had the moon roof open for the first time this year!!!

Great pics Ken! Tyler can't wait to see the Star Wars stuff at WDW. Does anybody know if WDW has a pirate play area like the one in Ken's pictures at DL? I hope so!

Tom Sawyers Island... let him go and climb around out there...

He wouldn't spend them because they look too cool! He has his pirate ones somebody gave him on the cruise in an album.

Yesterday Tyler was all excited when I picked him up from school because it was his teacher's birthday (the regular classroom, not the special ed teacher). He only spends an hour and a half maximum in her room each day, but he still asked me if he could get a birthday present for her. I asked him what he thought would be good and he suggested some teaching supplies so it would be something she could use. So I took him to the Teacher's Store and he went nuts trying to pick just a couple things. I had to limit him to 3 things or he would have bought out the store for her! Then at home I found a plain white gift bag and he colored flowers and hearts on one side (with grass and a sun up above) and on the other side he colored him and his teacher holding hands and made it all pink so he could tell her they're in a pink world for her birthday. He was so happy about his gift and just filled with excitment about giving it to her today. I told him to make sure he tells her it was his idea and that he picked out the items.

I told him he's such a thoughful kid.

Ya know, I had never done anything Mickey until after we moved to PA. I was already in my late 30's the first time me and John went to WDW and I was in my 40's when we did our first cruise. We have a lot of time to make up for.

Me and John both grew up watching Walt every Sunday night on TV in black and white. We watched the Mickey Mouse Club too. Annette was my favorite. But we never went to WDW until we were married and living in PA. I think that's why we love the Mouse so much.

Well, I guess it's time to get rid of my green St. Pat's smileys! I have some cute Easter ones to put on next.

Midnight... you need to stay up and change them at midnight...

Holly, you are obviously bored!!!!! Not long now.

No, John just wouldn't!!! However I am in May when the children are over. Our friend we met at WDW in 2006 from near Atlanta is down for a week with her grandaughter, all the girls are meeting up for a girlie day in MK one day and she booked the castle for lunch!!!

There is a chance our daughter will choose to go with the boys to Kennedy and in that case John will be taking her place and will have to eat there then!! He will be with his grandaughters so I think he will be fine and might just enjoy it.

Marilyn... tell him he's king for a day...

It must be tough being there too... my grandfather hated being in the nursing home...
