FYI to my fellow MWers: if you are driving north on I5 over the Grapevine, beware. There was an accident and the traffic backup just took us 1 1/2 hours to get through.
Yuck. Hope everyone is ok & you continue to have a safe trip. P.s.: I recently tried the Waze app (free). It gives you real time traffic & live updates from users...if anyone is interested! - weaver941403.9 #322 8-4-11 2:40PMLike Reply
So excited it's finally Sunday! We leave for Anaheim today, which means that tonight I will fall asleep to Disney magic and get to spend three full days playing & being a kid in the Disney parks!
Ur very lucky. Have a great time - Jo_ohanna383.7 #347 7-31-11 7:08AMLike Reply

Me! Lol! I am collecting character pics for a little project and I've even got pics by myself with Tink and Terrence (?) in pixie hollow! It's kinda silly, but whatever, I don't care. It gives me something to do when at the parks by myself, and keeps things fresh. If you have the Disney visa, check out the free photo op at dca.

I do that whenever I go, some people aren't very friendly about it, I'll wait in line forever to meet a character and when it's finally my turn parents will completely ignore me and push their kids out in front of me, I know Disney is for kids but some of us are kids at heart - Ginger6.5 #8586 7-10-11 3:07PMLike Reply

MWing at the DMV. Yep, I have plenty of time to read about everyone's wonderful Disney fun. Where do you think the best place to MW is? (not work, home, or DL)
I got in the habit of leaving about 15 minutes earlier than I needed to when I picked up my daughter, just so I could MW in the valet lane at the school! - TandAlly213.5 #1433 7-6-11 3:27PMLike Reply
Woohoo! I made it past 10! It feels like it took forever, but I also feel like I accomplished something. Yeah for MW!!!
Congrats! Hey I made it past 50 with only posting in the lounge and putting in wait times on two trips (and I verified my email but didn't get the point boost)...I have been actively participating since (I think) October. It does take a long time, but I'm so blessed to be a part of a network of great people! - ekwhite463.3 #262 7-2-11 10:30PMLike Reply

I would like to do a RAK but I've never done one before. Is there anything special I have to do? It would be on MW, not in the park.

I think I finally got my husband to say yes to a Disneyland trip in August! I usually go about once a year, but we have a baby coming in the fall and it may be awhile until We get to visit Disneyland again.
Glad to hear your planing a fun trip. After the baby comes I understand that Disneyland is a child friendly place - Tealtownfan692.3 #144 6-1-11 8:25AMLike Reply

I watched Tangled for the first time last night. I wasn't expecting that ending (well, almost at the end)! It seemed almost un-Disney showing the stabbing and the fall. Still, I liked the movie way more than I thought I would.
It has been raining in Sacramento for over a week (more or less), and we're expecting rain for the next week +. I'm wishing on a star that we get to see sunshine soon. How's the weather where you are?
It's raining hard in Fresno. - MarieC265.5 #865 3-20-11 7:07AMLike Reply

I only get to Disneyland about once a year, so I just want to say Thank You to all the MWers that post up such great pictures of places around the parks. I always feel a little closer to the magic when I see them.
Couldn't have said it better myself! Love looking at the pics and especially sharing the character ones with my kids. Some of the pics are so good they look like they could be post cards! - MommaSquared10.3 #6648 3-9-11 12:17PMLike Reply

So I am in the post office and MWing. So my question is: has anybody ever caught someone MWing outside of Disney resorts?
Yes I was MW earlier while getting an oil change on my car. Now I am doing so while I am out to lunch from work. Hehe.. - Ariel7texas21.1 #4942 3-7-11 12:04PMLike Reply
All the time! At work I can't be on my phone and I think I'm in the restroom every 30mins checking MW. It's a bad addiction. Ppl at work probably think I have the worlds smallest bladder. - PrincessCarmen2579.4 #21 3-7-11 12:05PMLike Reply
Hmm let's see.. I've caught a whole bunch of untrustables MWing at the Magic Castle, various restaurants outside of the parks, in Malibu, at CityWalk, in San Diego.. need I go on. - MimiMouse1015.6 #87 3-7-11 1:33PMLike Reply

Was looking through my Disney movie collection and found Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. I was going to buy it yesterday because I didn't think I owned it yet. Guess I should pay more attention to my purchases :)
Good morning MWers! I thought I would start this chilly (39degrees) Wednesday morning off right: Starbucks and a little MW :) Everyone have a great day!
I hope everyone's Sunday was better than mine. I woke up sick, literally sat in a chair in my livingroom all day. I finally made a decision to get a shower and now I'm cozied up in bed watching Fantasia.
Depends on which hotel and how you're commuting. The DLR always has a high security presence. And if you're at one of the walking-distance hotels, there's usually a steady stream of people to & from the parks though 1 AM. - PrinceCorey4242.2 #6 10-23-10 10:52AMLike Reply
