The Top Three Meet Dis-nee (CMO Contest, Part Three)

[Mrs. Fleagle]

Have a great day everyone! I'll try to finally go back an catch up on the several pages I missed yesterday when I get home later tonight. Loved today's pics and updates, Cat!

Until then . . .

Great to have you pop in! I haven't been on much either the past couple days....just trying to enjoy our Spring Break.

Well everyone, we worked in the backyard yesterday.....tilled and re-mulched the kids play area. Little D man was running and playing like crazy.....we had a bubble machine blowing bubbles all over the back yard and my favorite moment was when he chased one across the whole yard pointing his finger trying to pop it. He never caught it, but I just LOVE those moments. He was hitting a basball off the tee and Eric would use his announcer voice to commentate the play by play...and then Dawson would do the same when it was someone else's turn. "Ok folks, it's the homerun of the game!" Too cute
The girls brought out a portable CD player and choreographed dances with a neighborhood friend. Swings, slides, hoola-hoops, running through the sprinkler, mini trampoline, sand and water table, play house with their new "mailbox" brought out lots of creative play.

My 13 year old went to an all day birthday party playing.......gasp.........paint ball! We won't discuss that!

Ah, but back to the normal work week tomorrow!


So, talk about going OFF TOPIC ! That wasn't scrapbooking, decorating, DVC, or even Disney! Sorry about that. However, DS did have a Cars shirt on yesterday and DD did have a Tinkerbell bathingsuit on. So, maybe it was ok.

All right, sorry to bore you all with the Fleagle happenings. Just wanted to explain why we weren't on much the past few days.

Have a great day everyone! Two soccer matches today....I'll check in though!

My Fleagle pin is on my lanyard......

Thanks Tripp!

[Trippy_D_DooDah]

No problem Amy. Hope your morning is going well. I'll pop back on after church.

 

[BigThunderMtn]

I can't meet on Monday, but my husband works with Tripp so I can make him represent. Are you going to the station?

I might...depends on my schedule...fingers crossed.

 

[BigThunderMtn]

Hey fellow DISers. Since we're flying thru this thread faster then any of the previous 2, I figured I would get a head start on the name for the new thread. How about this?

The Disney CMO, DVC, Trip Report, Scrapbooking, Home Decorating, LGMH, Flat Mickey/Skinny Minnie/Dinky Donald Adventures Thread.





What do you think?

Ummm, you mispelled TRIPP.

 

[KigerKat]

I just happen to be headed that way anyway tomorrow (I won a $20 I-Tunes gift card!!), that's when this little GTG send-off started. I would love for BTM and Jen to be there at the same time - that would be very cool!

I don't work too far away from the station, so if I leave work at 11:30 I should be there just before noon. I hope BTM can be there!! And we'll be happy to use Jen's husband as a stand in.

Tripp - I'll bring the pixie dust!!

 

[BigThunderMtn]

If I'm not mistaken, don't some of the rides take the pictures for you?

Maybe like SM, EE, TT, ToT? (Giving BTM a little practice!!)

Wait, isn't there this thing called Photo Pass? Or is that the papparrazi you were talking about?

SM = Space Mountain or Splash Mountain?
EE = Expedition Everest?
TT = Test Track?
ToT = Tower of Terror?

How'd I do? How'd I do?

 

[Marshay]

Just 1 more little teaser before I sign off for the morning.

Hey, a quick post before church this morning!

Although my DVC home is in Walt Disney World, I live my other life in Loudoun County, near Dulles Airport (outside Washington, DC).

Although I love your choice for me better!!

 

[JenniferAtl]

Just 1 more little teaser before I sign off for the morning.

That looks great! Thank you for taking the time to map everyone!


Justin: Thank you so much for the book recommendations! I have the POTC book you mentioned and I love it! I just got "Inside the Dream: The Personal Story of Walt Disney" by Katherine and Richard Greene. I can't wait to start it!

 

[Trippy_D_DooDah]

Just 1 more little teaser before I sign off for the morning.

I guess my name is hidden behind Jen and BTM?

Or was I suppposed to sign up to be on the map?

I'm off to church. Be back later!

 

[JenniferAtl]

SM = Space Mountain or Splash Mountain?
EE = Expedition Everest?
TT = Test Track?
ToT = Tower of Terror?

How'd I do? How'd I do?

It could be Splash or Space - but Splash is the ride that takes a pic. Good job!

Glad to see you settled nicely in your new secret location.

 

[Marshay]

I just figured I'd take the chance to steer us back on topic by answering a few of Marshay's questions...

Thanks for the info!! You know we are soooo totally living vicariously through you! I stayed at the YC one time for a business trip and then added on one more night before moving to Dixie Landings (as it was called back then) since it was cheaper. Man, the YC is nice!

Marshay, you might want to go to Home Depot or Lowes (which ever you prefer) and see if they have any scrap or busted pieces of sheetrock. A lot of times they'll sell these at a fraction of the price. Trying your paint technique on the sheetrock might give you a better idea of what it would look like. It will also give you an opportunity to perfect what you're trying to do.

Great idea! Thanks for the tip. This would only be the 2nd time we painted (did a sponge technique to simulate grass in my DD's nursery).

Since I am one of the few men that try to regularly post on this thread, let me just say to keep the scrapbooking and other ideas coming. One of these days my DW might just decide to do something with all of our pictures from past trips.

I know this started out being a Disney Dream CMO thread, and it still is. I think we all have a part of us invested in this contest whether or not we didn't participate, or made it to the Top 20, Top 10, or Top 3. As I stated many posts ago, it's not too often you can find such a unique group of people from ALL WALKS OF LIFE and all across the country that have one major thing in common. That thing being the love of Disney. After all, we do need enough filler to hold us over until April 17th .

Thanks for the info...I know, some, particularly men aren't (as) into the crafts so although I don't want to monopolize the thread, I don't want to bore you all, too.

I would, but I'm not going until the end of September. I haven't heard anyone else mention it, but is anybody going to WDW in Aug - Sept for the free dining?

Hmmm, when are you going? I already told DH that if a group from this thead goes at the same time, I may go, too (prob would have to bring DD along and DH would stay home)

Hey Disneyfalcon, I think Justin just flamed us.

I knew you were kidding ... and laughed at this. I thought it was a perfect set-up!!

Ok, time for breakfast...we missed the early service...(no surprise!)...got to make the next one.

 

[BigThunderMtn]

It could be Splash or Space - but Splash is the ride that takes a pic. Good job!

Sweet...I am catching on.

 

[catotigger]

hey just experienced first ever magic moment! I was talking with a family from Roanoke VA waiting for AK rope drop! Then 2 castmembers started talking to us and I gave my version of big red little red. The family got picked to do the official rope drop and I became aunt cathie!

We were escorted to safaris and got on first truck of the day. They also gave us each a fastpass for a 2nd ride.

I'll send a pic to b posted soon.

Hey now I have relatives in Virginia!

 

[Mrs. Fleagle]

Hey now I have relatives in Virginia!

We already considered you family Cathie! Now you have TWO sets of relatives in Virginia!

Glad you're having a good time!

 

[HauntedMansionFan]

Besides I'm not as talented as HMF to ride and film at the same time!

Thanks Cat! Well I will say this.... if Mickey, Minnie, or Donald make it my way before I leave for the World in May, you will certainly see them on some rides.

STORY CONFIRMATION:

After hours of exhaustive research, this reporter has found copies of the security tapes. If you know the identities of the two funky-salmon-ers, please contact WDS security immediately!

Hahahahahahaha.... that is great!

 

[Suz D]

I haven't had time to post most of the weekend, but I'm catching up this morning. Now don't laugh everyone....

I started getting teary eyed thinking about the "family" that we've formed here and how much everyone really cares about each other. I'm reading about cat's adventures, picturing her there, and wishing I was with her. Not because I want to be at Disney, but because I want to be with her, getting to know her and soaking up her sense of fun and adventure.

I want to be with the Fleagles, mulching, playing, and chasing bubbles. Not because I have a great desire to go to Virginia, but because I want to be with them.

I want to be in Oklahoma chatting with KTP and Tooth about all things Disney. I want to be with Marshay scrapbooking. I want to be with Justin to broaden my vocabulary, and have a non-stop laugh fest. I want to be with Meggin to help her spread the pixie dust. It's so much more fun when you share the sharing with a friend. I want to be with Mr. Autotopia as he shares his love of Disney with his dear family. I want to be with Tripp while he trains for the CMO challenge.

To our 2 of the top three that I consider family (David-sorry that I don't know you at all) best of luck this week. I'll be thinking of you constantly.

I've got to go get ready for church so I didn't mean to leave anyone out, I'm just out of time. I wanted all of you to know how much you're loved and appreciated. Thanks for bringing a little more joy to my already joyful life.

Suz
