Yeah, it was pretty miserable most of the summer here last year
That is why I am not complaining too much about the current cold and snow ~ I can always put on more clothes and snuggle under the blankets in this weather

I have a quick question but I didn't want to make a new topic. Has anyone tried to get a Disney planning DVD lately but haven't gotten it in the 2-3 weeks they mentioned? I've requested it at least twice but never got one.

I was about to send for one. I'll let you know if I get it.

Thanks! I'll continue to wait to see if mine comes out.

Just out of curiosity, how long did you have to wait between ordering and getting since you were thinking it was never coming?!

Remember, over the past 3 weeks there's been a lot a crazy weather across the USA and it can affect the timely delivery by the US Post Office.

I think the first time I requested was sometime last year towards the end of the year. I don't remember. Then the second time I requested was sometime last month I think. I got a little impatient, I won't lie.

What about that whole "neither rain, nor sleet, nor night of the living dead" thing they tout all the time?!

I think that only applies to the postal workers themselves. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be on a plane or in an 18-wheeler durring a blizzard...
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Yeah, we didn't get mail or paper during the worst of the storm this week

So, you gotta be patient with mail when the evening news spends half their show reporting on the horrors of the winter weather. Because more than likely, something you're waiting to be delivered is being held up by that weather. Just hope it's a blizzard that's the problem, and just not being lost in a flood somewhere...

As an employee of the USPS I can tell you that it has not been easy this winter. At least here in Boston. In every storm, we make an attempt to deliver the mail. Many times we can't get our trucks out of the yard to hit the street so we are limited to how much we can get to. Not to mention the side streets which are usually the last to get plowed..... but I digress....

The lady at the post office told me today that they have to come into work, even if there is a snow emergency. They are not allowed to miss work because of the weather.
While we are off topic, maybe you can enlighten me as to why so many postal workers seem to be missing parts of their fingers? I have noticed this now on at least three or four separate employees in different offices.
And now, back to the topic at hand, I sure hope I can go to WDW in 2012, but I doubt it since we will be going in 2011 to take advantage of our AP's before they expire...
