Oh yah, the holiday tree thing, and it's not just him, believe me. I'm really trying not to go into a rant here, but it makes me crazy when certain people think they can rename something because they don't like it. it's about as stupid as someone trying to rename a Menorah, a holiday candle display, you know?! I can't stand the pc crowd, and this is supposedly a free country. Let people observe what they want to observe.

For some reason this reminds me of a lake in Webster, MA, called Lake Chaubunagungamaug. The more accurate translation of the Algonquin word means, Fishing Place at the Boundaries -- Neutral Meeting Grounds. But, the more common translation/meaning is, "You fish on your side, I'll fish on my side, and No One fishes in the middle." Words of wisdom.

Agree.

Just chimin' in real quick here...

My vote is for gettin' Park hopper.
We've always gotten it and have never regretted it!
So much more freedom and so many more options by not bein' tied to just one Park for the entire day.
On at least a coupla' occasions, we've been to all four Parks on the same day...!!!!!!!

Wow. We never been able to manage all four parks, but did two, just about every day.

Sunny morning today. Lot's of thunderstorms last night, with hail, dime to quarter size. Got to go out and look at the car. We were caught in it, coming home from our oldest grandsons graduation. So proud of him, he got a academic achievement award, a technology award, and was valedictorian. He spoke at the graduation, along with another classmate. Did a great job! As I said he was very shy, and came out of that from the many trips to Disney, talking with the CM's. They brought him out of his shell. Disney is the best!

I forgot to add this morning...tomorrow is D. Day! (Disney Day!) How could I forget that. I hope to send back lots of pics. Got to run for awhile, last minute things to do.

Hey all! I'm about a hundred pages behind in reading...OK, make that a thousand, but I'm hoping to be able to stop in and say HI a little more often as we head into the summer and I have a little more free time (excepting the weeks of band camp). Also, with a DW trip coming up in just over 3 weeks, I'll be getting on wdwmagic a lot more often in the coming days.

BTW - the Unlimited Fastpass with no conditions thread is one of the funniest things I've read in a while...

You had some excellent summaries in that thread.

The University my DD works for also outsources to India for inquiries. It is a head scratched to her. Nothing like an individual answering questions that has never stepped foot in the country let alone the University clarifying questions for prospective students here from across the globe.

funny thing that these movements always help only the top owners and stock owners.

 

[Cesar R M]

I've tried. I've yet to ever complete one.

I'm still debating in making my last trip's report as well, but its been so long that I'm like "too late"?
I wonder if you feel the same gabe!

@Eric1955 Did you see on CNN on June 11th they are starting series called The 1970s?

I had a rant about these type of people in the spirited thread.
unbelievable that they have to force everyone, because their little precious snowflake selfsteem is so fragile they get "triggered" by such simply maintaining a name or forcing things that make no sense.
you see them everywhere online nowadays.

To hop or not to hop that is the question! So far we've decided to get 10 days and the WP&M, now we're thinking about hopping. What do you guys and ladies think? THNX

if you're going in crowded days.. always hop.
the same if you want to be more spontaneous (by switching parks)

 

[donaldtoo]

OMG!!! This is so exciting!!! An hour-long ride in a C-47??!!! Now THAT's what I call a BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!!!!!!!!! You must be counting down the days!!

My birthday isn't 'til October, but, since a bunch of the planes from the Commemorative Air Force were originally scheduled (never happened 'cause of the bad weather all weekend) to be in Fredericksburg (about an hour away) for the Memorial Day weekend, they decided to surprise me anyway.
Funny thing is, I actually flew in one when I was a small child as the DC-3 commercial version.
Oh, and also a Lockheed Constellation. LOVE those old planes...!

Dont think so, I get these "streaks" when I get stressed. Perhaps its related to all the bills I have to pay and the fact that I'm about to go to the doctor for my leg. I hope its nothing serious.
And then next week.. a small cosmetic surgery (gotta remove a cyst :/ eww)
