SoCal resident. Disney freak, Theatre nerd, Jesus follower, people lover. 6 year old trapped in a 25 year old's body. I have a hard time sitting still. I think in song lyrics. Small but scrappy ;)
Had planned on going to the park with several friends today and they ALL just bailed on me. :( I'll probably still head there on my own later this evening. Anyone want to meet up?

I SOOOOOOOO wish I could have been at the reunion today but I'm in total finals mode and REALLY needed to study/ finish some projects. After Wednesday, I'm home free (for the summer) Maybe I'LL plan a meet up! I'd love to meet some of you More...
Good luck with Finals! Hope you have a relaxing time once you're at Disneyland. - teach6779.2 #3338 5-20-12 9:40PMLike(1) Reply
Thank you! I have one presentation, one voice jury and one Critical Thinking final. THEN I'M FREEEEEEEEEE! I can't wait! I am so looking forward to relaxing and playing at Disneyland this summer! - sarahbeth 5.8 #9564 5-20-12 9:45PM
Anyone else notice they changed the hidden Mickey at the end of Small World? It used to be a full silhouette of Mickey but now it only sort of resembles his head.

I worried about that too, but, I saw somewhere the monthly payment option and it looks totally workable. Just saying you never know. - Donaldfan_532227.2 #1306 5-20-12 8:30AMLike(1) Reply
oh it totally is. Right now, I'm making $12/hr and working full time. My payments are $34/month. If I stay with this company, $47/month is still totally doable. If I don't, then I may wind up going down to the SoCal pass. OR, what I did this year was just change my budget. I only go out once a month, I don't really spend money when I'm at the park and I don't buy Starbucks anymore. Some things are worth it ;) - sarahbeth 5.8 #9564 5-20-12 8:36AM
I just watched the documentary "Waking Sleeping Beauty". It was spectacular! I can't believe all the stuff that went on! I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.
if you have, you should watch it again!
It's really a great movie. We highly recommend it too. - sewedna103.4 #3035 5-13-12 1:12AMLike Reply

Got this greek salad at the medeterranian garden place in DCA. Well worth the $7 I paid for it. Hearty portions and everything was super fresh. It was perfect

Really great Celtic band at DCA. Their drummer was supercute, too ;-) they're called Sligo Rags. Go check out their facebook page
If you enjoy them at DCA, please consider ordering one of their CDs, specifically the Benefit Concert Live CD. Mike's parents lost their home to the TX wildfires last September, just ONE DAY after retiring. They have fallen through the FEMA cracks due to ridiculous reasons. All procedes go to help his parents rebuild. See Mike's website for more info. fiddlin4you.com - susieQzee486.8 #250 4-4-12 6:20PMLike(3) Reply

thanks for the info, Susie! I know what I'm doing when I get home! My people are in that area too but were spared in the fires. I will definitely be purchasing that cd and recommending others do the same :-) - sarahbeth5.8 #9564 4-4-12 7:57PMLike Reply
I'm glad to hear your loved ones were spared. Those were some scary fires! - susieQzee 486.8 #250 4-4-12 8:56PM

Do you happen to know how long they'll be at DCA? - sarahbeth5.8 #9564 4-5-12 12:49AMLike Reply
We saw them there in October so they must be part of the regular line up. We really enjoyed their music. - LisaMouse7531 409.5 #325 4-5-12 1:16AM

This is obviously no longer live, but Jolly Holiday! as an aside, I love the JH but I'm sad to see the Blue Ribbon Bakery go because they had an amazing Orange Cream Frappe that I dont believe you can find anywhere else. :-(
I'll be at the park tomorrow starting at 11:30am until about 3 or so. Would love to meet up with anyone if they'll be there. I'll upload a picture tomorrow so if you see me you can say hey! :)
