The bad news: my friend who I was going to ask to go to Disneyland with me can't go because she still hasn't found a new job unfortunately. So we'll have to plan a Disney trip for when she gets back on her feet financially.

The good news: the friend who I took to WDW said yes to Disneyland, so it looks like we are going to Disneyland!

But it has to be in January, which is when I go with my parents to WDW, so she'll fly back to Baltimore and I will fly from California to Orlando!!!

But I found out that we will have to fly into San Diego because LAX has no direct flight to Orlando, and it's January: I am not changing planes someplace. I'm lible to get stuck by myself in an unfamiliar city. The rates to fly into San Diego are about the same as flying into LA, so we'll do that and spend a few days in San Diego before heading up to Disneyland.

AND her parents have Marriot Rewards points, so they can cover the hotel in San Diego.

Nothing is set in stone yet, but it looks like this is going to happen...

I'm going to Disneyland. Again. :D

When we were driving up from Denver it was really hazy and yellow. We stepped out in Cheyenne and MAN that smoke smell just clobbers you!! Stay safe!

On our first family trip to WDW in July of '01 (the kiddos were 6,8, and oldest DD turned 10 while we were there), we stayed at POR.
Wildfires had been going on in the state for about month and a half (if I remember correctly), and the smoke smell was pretty heavy in the air the whole trip. It wasn't overpowering, just pretty prominent. Funny thing is, I don't remember any smoke/haze, just the smell. The whole resort smelled like the Rome burning scene in SSE...!!! :hilarious:
Ever since, anywhere l encounter that smell, it always reminds me of that first family trip.

Congrats. I'm pretty sure my liver will go MIA in just over 2 weeks between drinking around the world and a stop or 6 in Citywalk:D First stop after check in and a bit of pool time a walk to the Poly for a Lapu:) Sorry about not being your friend on facebook but we have a no facebook rule in our house because of the boys. There was quite a bit of cyber bullying going on by the time I was thinking about joining. better safe than sorry,

Yep, I have no FB account, either.
I, obviously, can't keep up here, much less if I threw that into the mix.
Plus, I could care less the last time someone I went to elementary school with, 40+ years ago in No Cal, had a bowel movement. :eek: ;)

Sounds like a good plan. There is always a good reason to go back to Disneyland. I will be going myself in 6 days!

"Oh, this old thing? I saw it in the window and just had to have it." Absolutely, the funniest and most unexpected line in the history of TV. I still laugh out loud at the reruns. I believe that I read someplace that particular scene had the longest sustained audience response ever.

Although, I'm a few years younger than you ;), I remember that episode well...
We had just moved back to Texas that August (the episode aired in Nov. of '76). There was a rerelease of Gone With the Wind at a local theater about a month earlier. My folks got a babysitter for our younger sis. Myself and my 2 younger brothers saw a different movie in the movie house (for the life of me, I can't remember which one :cyclops:), and our folks went to see Gone With the Wind.
After our movie was over, we snuck into the GWtW theater, and joined them... :oops: ;)
That was the first time I had ever seen any part of GWtW.
The last part of the movie was still very fresh in mine and my brothers minds when the Carol Burnett episode aired.
We laughed so hard we were all almost on the floor...!!!!!!! :hilarious:
Bob Mackie was one incredible costume designer...!!!
A total classic...!!!!!!! :joyfull:

It does seem to be getting a bit better. I'm putting lotion on it a lot because the skin is really dry around where the scab was, and the stretching was making it itch and sting. We're getting there.

Yes, so long ago for me, but, now that you mention it, I also remember the dryness, stretching, and itching.
Only thing left after all these years is the numbness.

Looks crowded and like some big waves (big for me anyway). But if you posted a picture like this in January/February I would be drooling because it looked like warmth and sun!

definitively crowded, we are at the peak of summer vacations and it was on weekend.
So the place was packed (the restaurant side). the beach.. not so much (because the sun is extremely intDSC_5070_DxOFULL.jpg ense)
