Hi DiznyDi! Thanks for the warm welcome.

Ooh, just checked out the new DVC Members website, looks like it's all integrated into the My Disney Experience Website

Haven't had much of a play around yet but I am off to spend my lunch break doing just that

Work is going to be different for quite a while. We're struggling to get to a new normal there. Its very quiet and I expect Jim to come around the corner at any moment. His office is right next to mine and its dark and we keep all the doors closed now.

I'm so looking forward to our trip in 3 weeks. It will bring much needed happiness! DS who is 7 is so excited, he says he is going to ride Space Mountain this time. We'll see. He braved ToT last time and hated it. So I'm leary of Space Mountain, especially since I can't sit right next to him. I would hate for him to be scared and I can't do anything about it. Heck I was scared the first time I rode it and I was 17!

Hi Nicole. PM on it's way

Soon you will be in your happy place, fingers crossed that the little guy will enjoy the thrill of the coaster.

to all the new groupies.

I woke up to about 3 1/2 inches of snow this morning. I knew we could get a dusting, but not this. We had over 4 the day after Christmas. This is the first time in I can't remember when that we have had snow (and certainly this much) twice in a winter season, much less 3 weeks apart. It has started to melt and we are supposed to get to 40 this afternoon. I was supposed to go to a meeting this evening, wonder if I will make it?

[Kathymford]

I have to admit, I have found another reason to frequent this board. Hearing about all of you waving real winters (snow, etc) makes me stop complaining that it's been in the 40s every morning and it's "killing me."

Born and raised California girl problems.

Kathy -- my neighbor is a California girl. I'm from the cold midwest and we are here where it is pretty warm, but it gets quite cold from time to time. My neighbor will call me, freaking out, saying: "Oh my gosh!!!!! Is it supposed to be this cold at this time of the year???" Every year at the same time, she calls me! So funny!

HAHAHA. I am freaking out because when I got up this morning it was 33. 33!! I didn't sign up for this. Are you kidding me? hahaha. I swear it's getting colder every year. Or I'm just getting older and can't (read won't) handle it anymore. We went to DL last night and I was trying to be a trooper, but man it was cold. But I still had a Dole Whip. hahaha There was only oner person in line. lol I had too.

[Linda67]

It's pretty cold in little old England to!

We had a bit of snow in London yesterday but it didn't really settle

It's well below freezing tonight, just got back from walking the dog and now I am hibernating

Counting down here. About 19 days until OKW. Hoping the nice weather lasts. I would love 80 degrees since it is currently about 11 degrees in WI with a windchill dropping it lower than that. Everything is covered in ice from some nice freezing rain we had on Saturday night as well.

Have had a rough start to the new year. A co-worker committed suicide. I work in a small business run by a 2nd cousin of mine. Only 4 employees, the owner and the owner's Dad. The owner's Dad is the one who passed. So we have had a rough couple of weeks. Please keep us all in your prayers.

I've haven't been very active on the boards lately. Trying to avoid all the FP+ drama. LOL

Hope you are all doing well!

Nicoal
So sorry to hear about your very difficult loss you and your co-workers are in my Prayers

[bagsmom]

You know, I'm a "newbie" on here, so I certainly don't feel like I've earned the right to say "Welcome!" to anyone.

But I feel ok about saying HELLO!

I feel like this cyber-place is like a happy little hang-out where we like-minded Disney goobers can be ourselves without being judged!

I've started making a bunch of different lists and putting them in a folder. I sat my husband down the other night. Said I wanted to discuss something with him. When I whipped out my tentative spreadsheet showing our week at Disney in June, he looked at me like I'd grown another head!

At least you folks who are married to other Disney-philes know that your spouses understand you.

If I disappear from the board, you'll know that my DH has had me committed due to excessive Disney Joy!

I just enjoy coming on here and hearing from everyone!

[tea pot]

OK Fellow Groupies are you ready for this
( I'm almost afraid to put in in print....because I just may jinx it )

Fingers crossed!
We are doing something different this year
because I will be spending 3+ months down in St Pete FL
with my daughter (Just about a two hour drive to our Happy Place)
We will be taking several short trips to the World
2,3,or 4 night stays, a couple with friends who will be visiting
and a couple with just the Big Guy and Me.

We did try this last year but because of a
series of unfortunate events
we needed to cancel almost all of them.
Up side almost all of these trips were
booked with a combination of banked and holding points.

Wish us luck

starting with a 6 day happy dance
Jan 21 and 22 at our Beloved VVL
The big guy and I are stopping at Disney on our way down
to St Pete Beach

nice plans!!

[bagsmom]

teapot -- I'm jealous!!!!!

Excessive Disney Joy -- well, in my opinion, no -- of course there's no such thing. After the first time I took him, though, I think he is just afraid. I am determined to give him the Disney vacation that will turn him into "one of us!"

Then, after we win the lottery, maybe we can be DVC members~! Hee hee!~
