It is such a beautiful place and oh so peaceful. It makes me smile just thinking abiut it.

I just went on Expedia..STILL no Contemporary in Dec or my B-day week in May!! SOMEONE please HELP ME get to the CR for 4 nites 3 free!! I can live without Honey Mustard maybe even the Potato Salad but, I CANNOT live without my MK!!

(excuse me while I go drain the turkey ... no, MPierce, that was not a slight at a former VP candidate unless you choose it to be ... that was just a Turkey Day reference since it is coming very soon ... anyway ... wait it's still sqawking, I need to get my AK47 ... brb!)

I'm assuming his name starts with a B.

There are rumors (unfounded so far) that Illuminations will go to three nights a week in 2009. I have not heard any reputable source confirm that. But if that happens ... watch out!
