Will there be a dedicated post for Modern Family tonight, like there is for Once Upon A Time? (On an unrelated note, today is my birthday.)
Do it in the Games lounge if you do! That way NO one will see any spoilers. - Mrsblue692.4 #151 5-9-12 9:31PMLike(1) Reply

Hey SuuzInOC, I think we spotted you on Modern Family! (Sorry, couldn't edit my original post. The preview clip can be seen here: http://tinyurl.com/dy5uvj3)

NOS, along the steps near the river, across from Cafe Orleans. There's an anchor right above the plaque, but it's kinda buried so it just looks like two metal poles. - robin_sparkles 293.8 #660 4-4-12 8:53PM
Wound up at Trader Sam's, where the drinks are strong & my signal dies every single time. Rosita's Margarita would've kicked my butt if it weren't for the unseen Hawaiian burger.

They were wandering (waddling?) nearby, and everyone was looking and saying how cute they were. Then it was almost like Mama Duck said, "We need to get out of here," so they all ducked under the fence and made a run for it. The CMs went from amused to panicked, and one of them carefully escorted them out. It was a pretty awesome scene. - robin_sparkles293.8 #660 4-4-12 2:20PMLike(1) Reply

Wow, what a night. I can't keep my eyes open anymore. If you're still in the park, have fun and STAY SAFE. And props to the CMs who had to work through the madness.
If you're not going to the parks on Leap Day, will you be staying up all 24 hours to follow the action on MW? 😜 😳 I think it's gonna be crazy no matter what.
Other than the Disney enthusiast, I don't expect it to be crazy crouded - 415beachgirl469.0 #264 2-26-12 1:32PMLike Reply
Due to various events that I won't get into here, I had to cancel my Leap Day trip. I'm bummed, but if it ends up being super-crowded, I won't feel too bad. Good luck to everyone attempting to stay there all 24 hours.
I was browsing through the AP special offers and noticed an offer for 20% off a D23 gold membership. Would it be worth it to sign up? I've never seriously considered it, but I might if it's worthwhile. Thoughts?
We had to change rooms in order to extend our stay. This is a pretty nice view. And even though the DL Hotel gave us *another* offer to stay one more night, we really do need to go home. 😔
I'm a sucker for those offers to stay another night. My hubby has a higher resistance level though 😝 - Jewelz475.3 #260 2-16-12 8:25AMLike Reply

RAK! Do you live far away from the parks? Would you like the puzzle that keeps getting posted to MW? Here's your chance to get one! Post an "add me" and the city/state where you live, and I'll randomly choose a winner on Sunday.
Yay! Tomorrow morning, we hit the road early and enjoy the awesomeness that is Valentine's Day at Disneyland... after we drop off my mother-in-law in Riverside. 😳 😜
I probably won't be staying at HoJo because of the no pets policy, but I would never bad mouth them. They have done a lot in the short time they have been on here. Such as hosting our first charity drive and also our first MW Christmas gift exchange. So kudos to HoJo no matter where you stay. - Evilstitch333.7 #469 2-3-12 8:48PMLike(2) Reply

I agree. My husband is a hotel snob and wouldn't stay at HoJo, but I'm less picky and will stay there when I go alone for Leap Day. At least he doesn't make any noise about his preferences, except to me. :p BTW, Idiocracy was a good/scary movie. - robin_sparkles293.8 #660 2-3-12 9:07PMLike Reply
I'm at my husband's dentist, waiting as he gets a deep cleaning. The movie he's watching during the procedure: Finding Nemo. *sigh* 10 days until DL. Happy Friday!

A not-so-close friend on Facebook asked about free tickets to DL, and all I could do was sigh. Must be a MW reflex. 😉 Anyway, I took this shot in 2009.
I will like to add that I did sign in friends of mine who are single mothers, low income family and friends. Those who didn't expect to be given something for free. It felt good to see my happy friends and family enjoy the parks with me and my kids. A friend of mine actually cried when I told her we were going to Disneyland and she cried when she saw the pure joy in her kids face at the park. - UncoolBunny70.9 #3447 1-20-12 5:26PMLike(6) Reply

Tonight, I made the loaded baked potato soup from Carnation Cafe with the recipe posted on the Disney Parks blog. I made a few changes, but it was so delicious! I've never actually eaten at Carnation, but I'll try them when they reopen.
So here's my intro post. I'm not asking for tickets, for I have an AP. I won't ask about crowds, because I read the FAQ and the crowd index. Can't wait to go back on Leap Day!
