The Little Mermaid herself, Jodi Benson, will be there during our actual stay so I think that would be a cool one to listen to!
I highly recommend doing the candlelight processional regardless of who the celebrity narrator may be. You may want to check out to see what dinner packages are still available during your trip by calling 1-407-WDW-DINE.

I might check into this mindflipper. The packages are a little cheaper if you have lunch and go to the earlier show, although there is something oh so magical about seeing all the little candlelights in the darker evening hours.
Here is a link if anyone if interested...

Brooklyn!
111 days left.

I don't know why, but when I was on a bowling team they would always shout "Brooklyn" when you had a score of 111 :?:

Thanks for the clarification! I was confused :? Are they going to New York? Are they from New York? Nope, it says North Carolina...hmmm. Pretty sure they are going to Disney :? :? :?:
Ah, a bowling reference...I'll ask my Mom and see if she knows, she bowled back in the day. Now she is a mean Wii bowler :lol:

In bowling, "Brooklyn" usually means getting a strike by hitting the left side of the front pin rather than the right. I have no clue what the 111 score has to do with it though. My dad was a semi-professional bowler when I was a kid and he never mentioned anything about that. Maybe someone can enlighten us...?

I'm a pretty mean Wii bowler myself, Amy. 8-) :D

91 days till Mousekemayhem!!! :goofy_bounce:

When I asked her, she said the term sounded familiar but she couldn't remember what it was exactly. When I told her what M-dude thought it was she agreed that could be it but she wasn't sure. So, I think we will go with your explanation M-dude...from what I found online, you yell Jersey if you are hitting the other side for a strike.
A Brooklyn or a Brooklyn ball ~ "This refers to shots that "crosses over" the 1-3 pocket for right-handers and 1-2 for left-handers and produces a strike. It originated in New York where people would "cross over" to Brooklyn from Manhattan. A side term "Jersey side" references left-handers and refers to people crossing over from Manhattan to New Jersey."

No luck going before school started. I pray that I will get a chance maybe next month or so! I wonder if it'll be packed on Labor Day...

I would expect it to be absolutely jammed! But maybe other people think the same thing and stay away making it a great day to go?!
