Yeah, I know, I know! :)

It was all I could afford.

I had loved my Christmas trip so much that I worked overtime like crazy all this year to raise the money to return this December, and I had originally planned on the Disneyland Hotel. I had reservations and everything, but then during the summer my dog needed an emergency operation and it took half of my money planned to pay for it. So with the amount left I was able to raise, I tried and tried but I'm stuck with Castle Inn again. :roll: Oh well, I'm still thrilled that I'm going.

Yes Christopher! Anyone who cares for an animal's needs first & with such devotion deserves praise & another GREAT trip to DLR. Admire your priorities :D

I know just what you're going through. I'm scrounging to save for a trip to WDW in December. I would like to take my mom but she's deathly afraid to fly. So it may be a solo trip.

You'll only be alone if you refuse to invite some of us locals to join you. Only a couple of us bite, and one of those uses fake teeth.

Ain't sayin' who.

Aww, thank you so much! :D

:D (That oughta work for a "happy blush") He's just fine now, but he did need it very badly at the time and was very miserable so I'm just glad he's alright.

I would love to go to WDW, but it would take something like maybe 2 or 3 years for me to save up for it. But then, it's my choice to go back to Disneyland this year, I decided to give up WDW for now to head back to Disneyland simply because the reception I got at DLR was so spectacular. So now I just have to go back then again. :)

I'm just glad I'm still going, as it could have been much worse, like it all having to be completely cancelled. ;) So thank heavens for that!

I'm sure I'll have lots of compliments to give City Hall and to share on here once I return. :)

Having worked for Kodak I can guess what happened here...

First off, at Disneyland, we are not paid on commission, but we do have shot goals that management really rides us about.

It's possible that the guy on the radio was a manager who cocasionally comes out to check on you. They just come on out to see how you're doing an the like.

It's also possible that the photographer was explaining to the manager that he took his picture but he was on his way out. In situations like these sometimes we can go back and rush the cards into download, because it usually takes 2 hours, so we can get a guest their photos within 10 minutes. Who knows.

Also by some chance did this photographer have a deep southern accent? If so I think I know who that was...

Not bad, but perhaps you'd prefer this one:

Yeah, I'm sorta the unofficial smiliemeister around here.

Thanks for your input. :)

He didn't have a deep southern accent, no.

Wow, where did you find that one? I was looking all around, including in the "more emoticons" section, but couldn't find anything like that.
