Wow, a guy leaves for a week and misses tons of posts!

Hope you all had a great holiday and New Year! We did the family thing, then stayed in for New Year's Eve, watching a Kolchak marathon and eating good bad food.

So what's everyone's new year's resolutions? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

 

[T&KHayes]

Happy New Year everyone! Sorry been off so long....you know holidays...and then I've been sick the last week. Think I am finally getting a little better so it's off to work.

Only 56 days 'til we go back Home!

Just wanted to pop in to say "hi" -- need a little Magic to get through the winter and came across this board/thread.

We became DVC members Sep 2005 (BWV) and promptly used our points for a honeymoon cruise next year (10/06), so its back to the Pop Century for this year!

Looking forward to chatting and getting to know folks here.

Welcome Beth and Ali

Hope everyone is having a good 2006 so far. I had to go back to work today, and am just not in the mood for it. I really need another trip to WDW to plan!

Resolutions for me - exercise and eat healthier (I'm a pizza junkie)

Linda's hopefully will be to quit smoking!

Hi All!

It is cold, raining, and we had a little snow here in Jersey today! YUK!

I really am in the mood to plan my next trip down to WDW. Does anyone know if they still do the Easter Parade at the Magic Kingdom, or if there is anything done up for Easter?

Thanks for your help!

Well I missed the meet at Rose and Crown today, had to go to court. Long story, but the cliff note version is messy divorce and we are the gay uncles who keep getting hauled in for character statements. Funny, cant adopt in this state, but we can testify as "Character Witnesses". Oh well!

As far as the question on the Easter Parade, Disney no longer runs it, but they do decorate a little.

Hazy - Sorry the weather sucks right now for you. We actually got rain all day on Monday here in the Desert (Palm Springs) but it's back to normal now with bright sunshine and about 75. Hope everyones New Year is starting off with a bang! We leave this Saturday for the 7 day Cruise on the Magic. It should be a blast.

Thanks for the info Mike. I loved it when they showed the Easter Parade on TV. It is too bad they don't still do the parade in the Magic Kingdom.

Sure Scott....rub in the nice weather you have!! LOL!!! You are going to have a blast on the Magic! I love sailing in the Disney ships. I am really looking forward to my next cruise! Take LOTS of pictures and post some, ok?

Hi everyone, we're back in Chicago after 4 nights in WDW. We turned up at the Rose and Crown, yesterday, the 3rd, and kept our eyes peeled. Did anyone else show up?

The first day was rather hectic. We had a 7:20 AM flight from Chicago Midway which meant we had to get up at 3:00 AM. We arrived early at the Beach Club Villas. Our first stay there. We prefer the seclusion of our home resport, the Wilderness Lodge Villas, but really liked for this trip being so centrally located. We go a room right away, at about 12:30 and so started a bit of running around. Over to Epcot to get our annual passes and then clear across the part to the main gate to pick up our Disney Dining Experience cards. Epcot was a zoo! We were glad to get our business taken care of and escape.

We had a nice New Year's Eve down there. We had a great dinner at Boma, then returned to the Beach Club Villas and walked over to the Boardwalk, to watch fireworks from both Epcot and MGM. Then back to our studio and champagne on the balcony. It was all in all a nice relaxing trip.

Well, this is it for us ... no WDW trips until next December when we and a friend take a DCL cruise followed by 6 nights in WDW.

 

[RubyshoesNM]

Does anyone know anything about a nude beach on St. Maarten's called "Orient" something????

I've only seen the current picture in your signature.

We were probably standing right next to each other. We were waiting near the restaurant. Well, then, next time.

Hey, guys, I wanted you all to know that we've started a new board here on the Disboards called Gay and Lesbian at Disney. Please come visit.

Hey, guys, I wanted you all to know that we've started a new board here on the Disboards called Gay and Lesbian at Disney. Please come visit.

She forgot one little detail, though- guess who the mods are?

Your very own Viki along with RickinNYC!!!

 

[RickinNYC]

Hope you all feel free to visit the new board! It'd be great to see you all there!

 

[Viki]

Hi all! Rick and I decided to move this thread to our new home where we hope it will be maintained and cherished as we also blossom out and do some new things.

What I can't believe is that I actually figured out how to get the move done. Big Sigh! Especially given that I'm still on my loaner -a PC when I've always been a MAC girl.

In any event, with Pete, the other mods, Rick, and all of you I have high hopes for how we can expand the awesome community that sprung up and was nurtured by this thread.

Please keep it coming.

 

[joanjett1976]

Well, here I am! Back at work, 24 hours after leaving the world!

I apologize for my pre-trip absence from the boards. I played nurse for a few days: we had our patient up and going for four Tower Of Terror trips in less than 2 days!

Many sorries for not making the meet at Rose & Crown.

I'll put up a trip report with pics over the weekend!

See you all on the new board!

 

[Saxton]

Hi gang! I'm still here in WDW - heading home tomorrow. Great to see that we have our own board!! It's been a busy trip with my mom and 2 nieces but everyone has had fun. Kathy - I didn't have much time to check in but we could have done dueling live reports, me from OKW and you from SSR.

 

[Valentine]

Hey all... Great news about the board!! I was hoping that would happen!! I am still here in Disney.. moving over to the Boardwalk this afternoon. Sorry we all missed each other!
