The Good News Is......

[theluckyrabbit]

Anything interesting on it? I'm waiting for the update that gives us insight into how this is all going to work!

It's not a big update, but I make sure to get all of them so that I don't miss out on anything -- especially now when there could be big changes around any corner!

Some good news I got today... I got a work promotion that I applied for back in Feb before the pandemic hit!

I spent nearly six weeks thinking I was going to lose my job or be hit with salary cuts. So I imagined the funding for the position would likely be eliminated.

And then last week we were told furloughs and salary cuts were avoided. And then that happy news was followed by an email this evening saying I got the gig! Happy days! My job is now more secure than ever.

Although I do need some Disney to recover from those weeks of stress. Phew!

That really is good news!

Yay Ireland!

(BTW, the 'middle' of your graph looks like a Disney Castle!)

oh so it does, didnt notice that.

I feel so sorry for Disboarders who live in America, my heart goes out to all of you trying to stay safe. I just wish you were at the stage we are at.

Some other good news, I have booked a mini staycation weekend in July, now that hotels are reopening. Hard Rock Hotel opened here in Dublin in February and I had planned a staycation weekend before all this craziness. When I checked their website a few days ago they now have a 20% discount reopening offer, and my credit card just happened to be beside my laptop

Did everyone see this??? Made me a little teary eyed. You can vote for their next song on the Disney Parks Blog.

Thank you! Loved it.

Dara Beauty at Gardenwalk has re-opened. It's a bit like Bibbidi Boppity Boutique however they are not doing makeovers at this time. They have a lot of cute Disney products and official merchandise from the overseas parks. It's not Disneyland, but I'll take whatever magic I can get.

Disney and Pixar Release New Sneak Peek of 'Soul'

 

[theluckyrabbit]

For anyone looking for good rain gear for the parks (e.g. waterproof, windproof, packable, etc.), the big summer sales are on! Check online for REI, Lands End, LL Bean, Columbia, etc. Cold, rainy weather doesn't happen too often at DLR, but when it does, good gear can really make a difference.

Started planning a trip for October, 2021!

Disneyland App update (again!):

 

[gardenrooms]

The good news is that after having to master soooo many new technical skills to distance teach effectively (many 18 hour days!) I should find using all the Disney online tools, which were daunting to me on our last trip (I'm 71), a piece of cake. I can hardly wait.

The good news is... My Disney buddy finally got her school schedule for 2021 and she knows now for sure that she will finish in February, so we can rebook our cancelled Aug/Sep trip to the US to March 2021

Original trip: SFO-DL-LAX-WDW-DCL
We did decide that the original 3 week trip was probably a bit too ambitious. We are now sticking to the West Coast, and it will either be totake more time to see more of SFO and LAX or shorter city visits with the cruise still in the mix.

Option 1: SFO-LAX-DL
Option 2: SFO-DL-SAN-DCL

I saw on the crowd calendars (for what it's worth) it will be packed from Mid-March. I take it because Spring breaks are starting from Mid March?
