I may live in the Bay Area & a huge San Jose Sharks fan, but I LOVE DLR! Been going every year since I was 7 and had been twice before that! I love sharing my
love for Disney & the parks!
I received my first Vinylmation today! Love Agent P! I know I haven't been here in months. My mom had emergency surgery/was dx with colon cancer in March & in June a knee injury for me turned out to be osteoarthritis. Hope to be more acti More...
Thanks. Mom has 5 more chemo treatments to go & I'm waiting for the OK for PT to try & get my knee in a bit better shape. Under a lot of work restrictions. - ythdudette 340.0 #446 8-23-12 1:58AM
I bought these at The Disney Store yesterday! They had some really neat ones like Slinky Dog.
Do they have tigger? Then I would have tigger ears!! - secretagentangel710.5 #142 2-7-12 8:11PMLike Reply
I think it may depend on the store. One of the Cast Members told me she saw Rex ones at another Disney Store. Maybe check online? - ythdudette340.0 #446 2-7-12 8:18PMLike Reply
Trying to decide if I am more disappointed that I DIDN'T get the job with the Padres or that in order to interview I had to use the $$ I had set aside to be at Disneyland this week! Probably both!
ahh Im sorry you didnt get the job...keep your chin up and remember everything happens for a reason! - yellowtonka237.7 #1162 12-1-11 12:34PMLike Reply
Aw I'm sorry you didn't get the job. Just like yellowtonka said, everything happens for a reason. Stay positive! - Jillian766.1 #131 12-1-11 12:36PMLike Reply
Thanks! I think the best thing is it's not like I'm unhappy where I am now. Just my hours that were drastically cut! But now I can refocus & see what's next! Oh & start saving for a spring trip! Thankfully between hockey games, concerts & hosting the US Nationals (ice skating) I'll get some extra hours! :-) - ythdudette340.0 #446 12-1-11 12:49PMLike Reply
Bought our tree today. First "big" one we've had since I moved back to San Jose. That means I was able to pull out these little gems. I think I have a dozen more as well!
Some are limited edition, but lots from the parks! I even found two I bought in 2000 with the price tags still attached! - ythdudette340.0 #446 11-30-11 3:16PMLike Reply
A little too much whipped cream, but the whole thing was really good. The demitasse cup is really worth it, plus not bad with the AP discount! - ythdudette340.0 #446 11-18-11 11:34PMLike Reply
So my trip to the parks is off! I have an interview with the San Diego Padres next week & can't afford to make the trip down twice & don't have the time to extend my trip next week to include the parks. Sad face.
Right now I'm thinking I'll spend a few hours on my way down to San Diego & maybe an hour or so on my way back! Put my AP to use & it's CHRISTMAS time!!! - ythdudette340.0 #446 11-9-11 1:29PMLike Reply

When I lived in San Francisco I took a "me" day and went to the museum. It is one of my favorite memories from living up there. It's a breathtaking museum! I know you'll have a blast...happy late birthday :) - futureprincess9.9 #6944 10-29-11 8:01AMLike Reply
Hope everyone heading to the MW Bday party & assorted meet ups have a fantastic time! Getting ready for church/teach Sunday School, but look forward to seeing pictures later! Hoping to get back there in the next few weeks!

Wish I were heading to DL instead of work. BUT, I did a YouTube search of Naturally 7, who is opening for Michael Buble tonight & they sounded great! Should be a great show!!
It was a great show! One funny thing (and actually Disney related) was hearing him start to sing "A Whole New World." If you get the chance to see him live...do it! :-) - ythdudette340.0 #446 8-13-11 11:30PMLike Reply
This is kinda Disney related cuz it's Touchstone. I know it was slammed by the critics, but I really like "Bicentennial Man." Watching it on ABC Family now.
Now that this is in the right place...I had posted a mini freak out post about needing to find another PT job as my hours were greatly reduced at my job. Got an email this morning that I made it to the 2nd round for a PT job at my church! More...

Not sure how many have Twitter accounts, but I found several park "icons" that have accounts. Nothing offensive & pretty funny. The goat from BTMRR is wandering the park looking for company!
I want to "camp out" on MW all day...but teaching Sunday School & work call! If anyone is in San Jose, head out to the SJ Giants game today! It's Gigante's bday!!! I'll be working & getting my Y-M-C-A on! Have a great day!!

If you haven't rated MW yet, I urge you to do so. I was reading through a couple & they were pretty mean about the lounge & people here. No names...but it made me sad. Of course, that was 2 out of tons of positive...but still!

Character dining. GO to the 2nd showing of Fantasmic. You can hang out at the restraint and have a mint and biegnets (sp ?) while the 1st show is going on when it ends slip right to front and center.

To make a long story a little less long. Dr. D has been my chiro for years. Now I only see him when I head down to OC. I was there in May & he got me for several days...after a 16 month lapse. He will be thrilled he gets me after only 2 1/2 months! - ythdudette340.0 #446 7-14-11 7:39PMLike Reply
