Happy Thanksgiving from me and the big Catholic Family! (Because I know they want to see themselves on my blog, that’s why.)

You’re not going to believe this, but I just received a call from Walt Disney World, Florida. They love, love, LOVED the write-up I sent them about Jacob, our fab concierge from the Disney resort and forwarded it to his leadership team so that he would get the recognition he deserved. Disney is happy CS received his Yeti, thanks to Jacob’s fast-acting-concierge-reflexes. Not only that, but they personally thanked me for taking the time to acknowledge Jacob’s professionalism.

See what happens when you’re nice to my Catholic family? You get noticed.

WTG Jacob at Disney’s Beach Resort—YOU. ROCK. DISNEY WORLD.

(Pay no attention to the tree partially blocking our view during this snippet. As you can see, we didn’t get a good spot for viewing fireworks at Epcot the night the video was taken. Let that be a lesson for the next time you find yourself at Epcot recording IllumiNations… camp out early!)

For the first time in @3 years, way back to when I started blogging on MSN Spaces, I didn’t keep a daily journal of our family vacation activities. Even when I didn’t have access to the Internet at our hotel, I’d find a way to keep a written journal each day for future posting. But not this time. The reason? Well, this time the family and I found ourselves getting up before the crack of dawn each day running around like crazed headless chickens, just to take in everything we could of that wondrous corner of the earth known as: Walt Disney World. *harp plays*

So instead, I’ve recorded a bunch of thoughts from our Disney experience and divided them into 2 categories: Things We Loved About Our Disney Vacation and Things We Did NOT Love About Our Disney Vacation.
