OKay I will admit the ultimate in Disney fever ( and dorkiness)
jillyb and I met on these boards and realized we both work on opposite side of the same downtown ( or uptown ) area. It is a quick free trolley ride to the center and we meet for lunch when we can.
This past Wednesday ( and every Wednesday) I do not go into to work until 1pm. I am approaching my facility and see the trolley go by. I realize that the next one won't be for at least 10 more minutes. I park my car at my facility and walk out to the street.
I decide to cut through a courtyard of sorts at a nearby group of buildings. This area has a large number of tables and chairs and benches and there are some fast food places, bojangles chicked, quiznos,chick-Fil-a etc. It is a large place where employees in the surrounding buildings can eat lunch.
I have just bought a new MP3 and downloaded all sorts of Disney music so I believe" Hakuna Matata" is playing as I walk.
As I approached the courtyard I see the aluminum like palm tree that was put there as art.
I actually stop and think to myself
" Where is my camera, I need a picture of this." I had a Disney moment where I thought I was at AK. I do look around and then laugh to myself. Then I get self conscious and make sure no one is staring.
Another time there was a BBQ place set up on the sidewalk and as we passed we swore we were at Ak again and passing Flame Tree BBQ.
Hello I am Poolrat Pat and I am a disney dork !!! ( my friends actually called me that while we were planning the NYE trip. )
I was able to ride the bus to work when those gas prices went nuts a couple of years ago. My rationale... If I can do it at Disney I can do it in Charlotte.
I am ill.
.
Because of work schedules, I have to wait for a service opening in the evening and the first one available isn't until Friday (do you think our internet provider will credit us for this week 
)
