I have done this program 8 times and am 34 days away from #9. My students can ONLY go if the school board okays an educational trip, so we take the Y.E.S. classes. You won't be standing in one place the whole 2 1/2 to 3 hours or doing the same activity the whole time. They usually...

True, Rosie SHOULD be, but this isn't always the case. I teach at a school where we stop classes, have the newstation present, and hold a reception when a boy signs with LSU, but when one of our freshmen girls wrote an essay and beat out 1000s of other students in the state and, as a result...

The women of WWII as characterized by the Rosie the Riveter AA would make a interesting report also. Good luck with your paper. 34 more days until we are Orlando bound with 24 teenagers on a school bus for 930 miles of smiles:hammer:

Thanks to all who answered my question. I didn't mean to start a firestorm.....should have known better since I'm from politically notorious Louisiana:lol: The thing I've always enjoyed about the HoP was that it wasn't about the politics; it was about how great America is. My students and I...

I've searched for this info., so please don't flame me if I overlooked it on the site. According to the 2009 Unofficial Guide and Jim Hill only President Lincoln will speak now (Gettysburg Address) after the refurb. However, the book was published before the election.....any word on whether...

Bring on the water cannons, but whatever you do, please, don't throw me in that briar patch!!

I'm not bothered by a couple if they share a quick I'm-happy-to-be-here-with-you kiss, but when couples are all over each other in the que or on the ride in plain sight..:hurl: DH and I would SO embarrass our students if we saw them doing this at WDW! DH is very loud and charasmatic(sp?) on...

LOL I know this feeling only too well! My DH and I teach at the same school and we are teased all the time by co-workers and students who have never been to WDW. However, if one of our students who has been with us is walking by they get this pitying look for the Disneyless one! The Disney...

AK! I have a wonderful memory from Easter Break 2004. It started raining on us while waiting for the safari and we weren't under the covered part yet. My students were freaking out at first and then started laughing at each other for being in the rain in a "rainforest." We took tons of...

Sorry I didn't make it clear:o When we asked a cast member about the odd 189 number, that was what he told us. I now think, after your correction, that Herb Ryman just had an odd (get it odd) sense of humor! I know about the ToT also, it would take away from the 1930s theme, according to a...

Thanks:) This will actually be our 9th annual trip from northern Louisiana with a school bus loaded with teens! DH and I are teachers at the same school and love making the trip every year........pray for my DH because he is our sole driver!:lol:

I've always felt that anyone who is brave enough to wear purple pants, is bound to be very trustworthy. Luv the balloons and the pants! I know I'm truly at WDW when I see people wearing yellow stripes and others wearing purple pants!!:sohappy:

Sorry to bump this days old thread....I thought the date of the last post was 17th not 12th:lol: Old age eyes at 43? What next, my memory? What next, my memory?

DH and I go every year during our parish's Easter break, however not all schools (elem., second., or post) are out simultaneously. Some breaks start Good Friday and cover the week following Easter Sunday, while others are out the entire week leading to Good Friday and return to school Monday...

I love that the American Adventure building uses the opposite of forced perspective in order to make it look like it has less floors than it actually does. I also think it is cool that they went through several colors of white before choosing one that looked right in the Florida sunlight! I...

The ride itself isn't different at night, but it keeps the mystery going if you walk from dark into dark.....especially if one of the HM CMs is hanging around scaring the crud out of you! Love BTMR at night, too.

What, so you can flame them for bumping an old thread if they want to comment? Please, play nice and keep it Disney-spirited! I like the fact that Cinderella Castle was built to 189 feet, just short of the FAA regulation for a red light. No princess should have to deal with a...

Did you notice the Hidden Mickeys in the hail? It looks like the top of the leaf on the left side of the photo is touching one of the ears of one and the bottom of the leaf is touching the head of another slighty wonky looking Mickey! 54 days until we are ºoºrlando bound with 30 teens on a...

I also gave a football Mickey to our head football coach and a basketball Mickey to our head boys basketball coach. I must admit it was a bit selfish of me because I still see them everyday on the coaches vehicles in our school parking lot!:D 55 more days until we are ºoºrlando bound on a...

:cry: If we were at a point where WDW could get no money then that would mean some planet-altering event had taken place. Unfortunately, we would be worrying about survival, not WDW.:(
