Haha, I'm guessing you're from Texas (sorry if you mentioned that, my memory is horrible), well I must say they weren't originally from Texas but I guess they saw the errors of their ways and moved there. They really like it, they're up here now and it's kinda cool (well it's cold for me I was always made for hot weather but according to my family it's "cool") and my aunt was complaining about how cold it was. Not that I disagree!!

Awww, thank you!

Disney Trivia of the Day
Norway
The Stave Church found in the Norway pavilion is a smaller, detailed replica of the Gol Stave Church , located in the Norsk Folkemuseum in Oslo, Norway . The church contains a fascinating exhibit on Norwegian culture and the history of the Stave Churches. It is probably the most visited Stave Church in the world. The stave church dates back to 1015, when King Olaf II first made Christianity the official religion of Norway, and you can see both Viking and Christian symbols in the architecture.
Nine-time New York City Marathon winner Greta Waitz, the only woman to win more than two New York Marathons, is immortalized in a statute located on the grounds of the Norway pavilion. The Greta Waitz Lopet (road race), the largest run for women in the world, is held annually in her home country of Norway .

So you finally get to see the much-referred-to purchase.

Disney Trivia of the Day
United Kingdom
Be sure to take some time and walk through the beautiful Butterfly and Knot Herb garden located in the spectacular United Kingdom pavilion behind the Tea Caddy shop. The plants located in the garden were specifically chosen as they attract butterflies. It also contains a chrysalis box, where butterfly cocoons are sheltered until they are ready to take flight. Also be sure to check out the hedge maze located nearby!
A replica of Hampton Court Palace is featured, along with Anne Hataway's thatched cottage, Hyde Park, Yorkshire & Regency buildings.
The Rose and Crown bears the Latin motto 'Otium Cum Dignitate' ('Leisure with dignity')

Disney Trivia of the Day
France
An area of the pavement in between the France and Morocco pavilion is painted a different color than the rest of the dark-red ground. Why? This color change is supposed to look like a little river, representing the Straits of Gibraltar, which divides Europe and Africa - the continents which are home to France and Morocco respectively.
Featured are a replica of Les Halles, a once-beloved Parisian market, and a replica of Pont des Arts, a footbridge that once led from the Louvre to the quais of the Left Bank.

Ugh, so I'm getting really irritated. I finally got my temporary lisence to practice for nursing (now I only need to find a job! 
) but I still have yet to get my ATT which I need to schedule my NCLEX exam!!!! I'm so irritated, I just want to get it scheduled so at least I know when it'll be, hopefully some of the anxiety will go away if I at least know the date!!! Sorry for the rant but it's really irritating! Ok onto some happier things!
Disney Trivia of the Day
Gertie the Dinosaur
In MGM there is a hidden attractiion, it is Gertie the Dinosaur. She is a tribute to the vaudeville actor and artist Windsor Mackay. About 1912 he decided to spice up his act with a cartoon of a railroad, projected on the screen, and he would interact with it. The audienes thought that this was trick photography. He then decided to come up with Dinosaur Gertie. This was before the concept of the multiplane camera or even cells. He made about 14,400 drawings on rice paper. Each one not only had Gertie drawn on it, but also had the background screnery (Silent movies had 16 frames per second and this ran anbout 15 minutes or 900 seconds). He started this act in 1915, the audiences recognized at this point that Gertie was a cartoon and could not be trick photgraphy. This was the first recognized projected cartoon. Many years later, Walt Disney met Windsor's son. The son was very happy to met Walt, but Walt was even happier to meet him. Walt told the son that "I owe everything I have done to the idea started by your father". There is a small sign near Gertie in the park, but it does not go into this detail.

Take a deep breath. I know it feels like this will never end, but it will and it will all be worth it. You will definitely be able to find a job, nurses are so needed.
I love your trivia's. Most of it I have never heard-where are you getting it?

Awww thanks. That's ok, don't worry about not responding I know how busy everyone can get. It's no big deal. I'm glad you're enjoying the trivia, make sure you show off that knowledge!!
I do think I'm going to get those books Beka mentioned plus a book I saw mentioned on the Theme parks board, I think it's called The Hidden Magic of Walt Disney World, it's full of trivia and hidden stuff about the parks. Probably won't get it until this weekend but I may need to update some of the trivia I've already done if I find some interesting stuff. I'll let you know!

Thank you, I know everything will end up all right eventually but the anxiety is killing me right now. I def. think once I at least have a date it'll seem like there is an end in sight and hopefully release some of my anxiety. Thanks again. I'm glad you like the trivia. I've collected it over a few years from various sources, mostly online. I am going to get a few books with some trivia in it this weekend. I'm not even sure all of it is true or even still up to date but I try to only put up stuff that seems right. I love the trivia, it's always been one of my favorite parts of getting ready for a disney vacation. I always mean to print out the trivia I have and take it to the parks but I always forget right before the trip. Of course it is about 52 pages long so maybe that's not really efficient and I keep adding trivia to it but hey maybe one day. I do use it for my countdown calendar. I start it at 1 month/30 days out so when it gets to one month I'll post some pictures of it for all of you to see.

Well I'm sorry for the ranting yesterday, thank you to everyone for the encouraging words. A good night's sleep always makes things seem better for me (ok so I didn't get an amazing night's sleep but it was better than sunday night, for some reason I don't really sleep anymore on sunday night I only got about 2 1/2 hours of sleep but last night I got a good 4 or 5 hours so a little better! ) Anyway I'm excited right now, I'm on the dis boards and I'm watching disney shows on the travel channel!!! Yay for disney!!!! Plus tonight I'm going to see Rain at a local cultural center. Rain is a group of Beatles impersonators that are singing different songs troughout the Beatles' career. I'm really excited, I love the Beatles! It's going to be a lot of fun. I'm going with my family and as soon as I walked in the door after work my mom had Beatles songs playing and they haven't stopped since!!! I love it!!! Now all I have to figure out is what I'm going to wear. How is it that I have a closet full of clothes and keep buying more but still have nothing to wear!!! Oh well I'll find something!
Disney Trivia of the Day
The Great Movie Ride
During the Wizard of Oz sequence of the Great Movie Ride, if you look closely at Dorothy's house, you will see the striped socks of the Wicked Witch sticking out from under the bottom. Hanging nearby is her Certificate of Death. Ding Dong, that witch is toast!
In the Great Movie Ride, look for a "Hidden Donald" in the hieroglyphics of the Raiders of the Lost Ark scene having lunch with Mickey Mouse. (Look fast, it is on the last stone pillar on the left). Other hidden characters in this scene are C-3PO and R2-D2, from "Star Wars."
On the Great Movie Ride there are some really great hidden mickeys. There is a hidden mickey foot under a poster as you come up on the gangster scene and when you stop for the gangster if you look up and to the left you can see mickey's profile in a high window.

The Movie Ride is one of my favorites. I am going to have to look for the hidden Donald and Mickey's.
I have seen the witches feet but dont think I ever noticed the death certificate.
I think Disney's attention to detail is what keeps me going back for more.
Have fun tonight with your family, that sounds like a good time.
