Trip Report From January 2008

Frank_The_Tank took a trip to WDW last month and shares some of his excellent photos with the rest of us! With great shots like these, I can't wait to see the other 584 he took!

TR 1/23-2/1 preview w/pics
3rdshiftCM gets away from the nightly grind to soak up the winter sun with his family! He was also kind enough to take his camera and get some wonderful shots from around the Parks! If this is just a preview, I can only imagine what the main course will be like!

More Photos: WDW Vacation 1/10-1/17 (Magic Kingdom)

Sarki7 comes back with a second helping of high quality shots from around the Magic Kingdom. Amazing detail and color in every shot!

Long Overdue October Trip Video
ABOMIBOT took some super shots when he was at WDW for the Halloween festivities and apparently been busy putting together an incredible video presentation of the vacation. You must see the wonderful video and hear the terrific soundtrack to believe it!

In keeping with the Celebration theme, WDW has set up a Cake Hotline you can use to get the perfect dessert for that special occasion. WDWmemories fills us in on the sweet details!

Coraline, Usagi Yojimbo, and Watchmen at the Cartoon Art Museum

Royal Caribbean vs. Other Cruise Lines
WRDup is looking to book a 7 day Mexican Rivera cruise and is also looking to our readers for their opinions on which cruise line they would recommend for the trip. Got an opinion? Let your voice be heard in this thread.

While the wonderful people who keep MiceChat running were working feverishly to plan and throw a splashy 4th Anniversary bash, the Main Lounge was still busy with happy chatter. There is always more fun to be had, so join in the discussion! ~disneyballerina

I found a comparable restaurant to In-N-Out in Florida!
Thanks to mikeland, I am now in super-crave mode for a delectable burger and fries, no matter if it is from Five Guys or In-N-Out, or Jack in the Box. (Come on Jack, we're all pullin' for 'ya!)

Left-lane slowpokes drive you crazy?
Outta the way, slowpoke! SummerInFlorida provides the perfect opportunity for you to chime in with any or all of your highway pet peeves.

Let's Abolish the Word ' If ' from MiceChat
If there is a hidden meaning to DCAfanatic's opening of this discussion, it's lost on me. But I like it anyway, if only for the Bread lyrics posted within.

Del Taco Haunted Mansion Text
Hmm, Disney on the brain much? Newbie Brer Mole notices a strong similarity between the font in recent use by Del Taco and the signage for Disney's Haunted Mansion. I think this newbie will fit in just fine with the MiceChat crowd.

Snow Pictures!!
Joshrzmeup shares with us some fresh and frosty photos from the season's first snow in her area. Check out her icy antenna topper! Poor Jack just can't get a break this week.

The Best Laid Plans.....
After my deep sadness over having missed the MiceChat Anniversary festivities last weekend, a good laugh was much appreciated. Thank you neighbor tiggerfan, for this hilarious look at when criminals try to be clever, and for giving me an excuse to do my tired, old Napoleon Dynamite impression: "Freakin' idiots!"
