So our tree is not yet decorated.... we've been a little slow getting it done. So seeing that we actually get our tree done by Christmas we'll get a picture with Yeti Ball. If it doesn't get decorated, we'll take one anyways I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas (or any holiday you celebrate) and you'll be hearing/seeing from me soon with DISNEYLAND PICTURES!!!

I think we can arrange that As soon as we get our tree decorated (it's up, just not decorated yet) on Saturday we will!

Thanks We really wanna meet you guys too! Andrew was interested in meeting you too because if I read it right you worked on Call of Duty 1 & 2, correct? Andrew's a computer/programming guy along with a big video game player (he especially loves the Call of Duty games) so he always likes to meet people who work in the field. Thanks again everyone and have a wonderful holiday!

Hey everyone! Thanks again for your help with my contest! So long story short, the lady at Mix sent our paperwork out a MONTH after I filled it out when she was supposed to send it that day/week. Really really really annoying because we finally got the letter from Disney a few days ago and found out we have to schedule the trip at least 30 days before we leave, so we can't use our free trip for New Years like we were going to. If she had sent the papers out on time, we would possibly be going on the free trip in 17 days... (sorry for the small rant... As you can tell I'm quite annoyed but getting better) BUT, I did some checking and found some excellent rates for a hotel and we shortened the trip to three nights and two park days, so we can afford to go for New Years!!! It's my first Disneyland New Year's since about 1991 when I was almost 4 years old, so this time I'll remember it much better. We're planning to take our free trip right after Andrew and I graduate from ASU in May. I can't believe college is over already... We'll let everyone know when we decide on dates so we can meet some of you guys! The main point of the post is: WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYLAND!!!!!! We'll be in the parks on December 30th and December 31st, please let us know if you'll be there so we can say hi! We're getting there on the 29th and hanging out around Downtown Disney for the evening as well if that works for anyone As promised, I will post a FANTASTIC trip report as soon as we get back from both trips, it's the least I owe everyone for helping us win! Thanks again and I hope to see you at Disneyland in 19 days!

VOTED!!!!! I quite agree! Seeing how wonderful everyone was in voting for me, this is a piece of cake! Keep voting everyone and keep TPR winning! Not only do we have TONS of TPR fans who are the best at voting, TPR really is the best site out there! Currently TPR is at 63% best overall site and my vote is #529!!!

Thanks again for voting so much! We really appreciate it and I'm so excited to go!! No matter how busy (or mmaaayyyybbeee not, at least I can dream ) we'll have a great time. I just being there at Christmastime will be worth it! If all I got to go on was Haunted Mansion and Small World I would be a happy camper, so no worries We're pros at fastpass so we'll be set.

Haha Andrew always jokes about that and quite agrees that I'm a nerd AND I like playing video games Thinking about us... I totally forgot to post our picture from our Halloween party this year. It's slightly off topic here but what the heck The total nerd picture follows, you have a Jedi, Indiana Jones, and a guy with a wig in his pants (Andrew's best friend, Jeff). He was gonna go as a rocker but we figured the wig was MUCH better placed there lol Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Yup, total nerds

NERD!!!!! Sorry...I had to! --Robb HAHA ya we are nerds (to add to it even more I'm a biochem major and Andrew's a computer science engineer and we met in calculus class ) TOTAL NERDS!!!! I had seen so many people doing it in previous trips that I finally decided to do it this past summer. Andrew got into it too and it really is fun!! We met a bunch of great CMs and got some wonderful pins. We promise a great TR when we get back!!

We'll definetly have to look out for those dream fastpasses! We pin trade as well so it is a great way to talk to any dream squad members We've gotten to be old pros at the busy Disneyland thing but it is always good to be ready. Thanks

Hello everyone! Thanks to you guys and all your votes, I get to go to Disneyland this holiday season with my boyfriend! We're going from December 27th till January 1st and want to know what the crowds will be like. We're assuming it will be crazy on New Year's Eve but what is it like the other days? Thanks very much!! p.s.: We're waiting on the trip papers to come then we'll know for sure that we're going. When that happens I'll let everyone know in case anyone wants to get together to ride some rides!

Oh man is the raptor one funny! You just gotta love Jurassic Park... some dude gets eaten by a T-Rex off a toilet, CLASSIC!!!!

I LOVE the row of smileys!! Thanks to everyone again so very much! We're so excited to go and can't wait till December! I can't help but smile anytime I think about it, going during the Christmastime celebration has been a wish of mine for a long long time and it finally comes true this year! This is proof that dreams really DO come true (with help from the wonderful TPR family ) We'll definetly make sure to take tons of pictures and make a great TR when we get back. Thanks again so much to everyone!

Thanks so much, everybody! I can't tell you how excited I am to find out tomorrow if we won!!! Your votes really mean alot and it's been awesome to see so much support!!

You're right, I promise I'll be back in California as soon as I can We'll all have to get together sometime when I'm in California again. We're trying to make it a yearly thing of going to both WDW and DL, money permitting. Andrew would be jealous of you, though, he absolutely LOVES WDW. We're a divided couple sadly, he loves WDW the most and I love DL the most. We quite frequently have conversations about who has the "poopy castle" lol They're both beautiful but I gotta go with the one I grew up with We'll be at WDW in March, we're going for our Senior year spring break, our last spring break together in college. I'm pretty excited for going, I haven't been there since I was about 6 and REALLY wanna see Epcot again! (and the other 3, but especially Epcot)

I'll make sure to let everyone know on Friday if I win (that's assuming they let us know on Friday) Yeah, that would be awesome to meet up, I'll definetly let you know! I think Robb and family wanted to meet up too, so as soon as we know we'll let you all know so we can get together! If we do win we'll definetly be there from December 26th - December 31st (Day after Christmas till New Years Eve) because that's when Andrew gets work off for the holidays. So, the day is finally here!!!! THE LAST DAY OF VOTING!!!!!!! Whew, it's been a long road and I'm so excited that tomorrow is Halloween! My 17 days of stressing about the contest are finally (almost) over!! Thanks thanks and many more thanks to everyone who has voted and everyone who is voting today, with your help TPR gets to lead the way to victory! So today is Yeti Ball's final costume and if I may say my favorite! Orangecats2 got it right, POTC is my very favorite ride and movie! It's the first ever "drop" I went down when I was 9 months old and it's been my favorite ever since. So here he is in all his swashbuckling glory, Pirate Yeti Ball!!!! Thanks everyone again and please keep those votes coming this last day of voting! I'll let everyone know as soon as I know Here's the link one last time: http://www.mix969.com/pages/disney-photo/vote.html We's devils, we're black sheep, we're really bad eggs! Drink up me hearties, Yo Ho!!! Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A YETI'S Life for Me!!!!

Yep, his middle name's Harold Named after his Uncle Harold at Disneyland!

I miss the soapbox racers and the parachutes! Hey, MAYBE, just maybe, they'll bring back that really old teddy bear themed ride It would be the biggest hit EVER in theme park history lol What I really wanna know is, what did they do with all the Dinosaurs??

It's still such a good movie though Andrew even watched it and liked it, so I can't blame you for knowing that. It was one of my two favorites when I was little, and I was pretty excited when it came out a few weeks ago. Andrew bought it on blue-ray and it looks AMAZING! With the surround sound the walls shook when Maleficent turns into the dragon and the fight after. It was pretty cool I'll give you a hint about my favorite movie now... It's also my favorite ride at Disneyland

HAHA!!! That would be funny! Andrew would probably dress him up as that seeing that both he and his best friend LOVE that movie!

I'm nervous and excited all at once! I think they're ending the voting at the end of the day Thursday, so less than two days left!! So that means only two more days of me being a nervous, anxious, and excited wreck lol. I can't thank everyone enough for how much support you've shown, it really does make me smile thinking of all the awesome people we have cheering us on! Today Yeti Ball decided to try a bit of a different costume (he was inspired by the movie I just bought), but he's still cute no matter what! I think I still hear him singing across the house... Hope you enjoy and let's finish up the last two days with more votes! p.s. My favorite Yeti Ball picture is tomorrow, he's dressed up like someone from my favorite movie Any guesses? I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream!!!!!

^ That's hilarious! I can just see that thing jumping out of a cake... Thanks so much to everyone for their votes, it's awesome we have so much support! Big Mike, I promise we'll find something for you to do after this is over... I vote more rollercoasters! I can't say thank you enough for your support and morning ritual votes! Especially that you put the link on the Road Show, we got a ton of extra views (and hopefully votes) from that!! I still can't stop laughing about those captions, so funny! Thanks to everyone again and now down the home stretch for the win!! p.s. the link is in my signature to make it easy to go vote

Wow... you have no idea how much I'm laughing right now The more I read those captions the more I was craking up laughing! Idk which one my favorite is because they're all so funny! (this really was the break I needed from studying cell biology ) So another day is past which bring us one day closer to Halloween and the end of the contest!! Yeti Ball is still frantically trying to find a Halloween costume to wear and showing each one off for everyone to see. I gotta say, this one today really brings out the rugged adventurer in him Hope you enjoy, thanks for voting, and only two more days after today to vote!! Here's the link again for everyone: http://www.mix969.com/pages/disney-photo/vote.html Snakes... Why did it HAVE to be snakes??? (apparantly Indiana Yeti does not like snakes either)

She's so beautiful!! What a sweet little princess. I love the dress too, Aurora's my favorite princess

We were wondering that too... Just imagine their reaction seeing votes from all around the world! I know we have votes from: Bavaria, California, Arizona, Ohio, Idaho, Texas, England, Germany, Japan, Florida, Pennsylvania, Washington, Georgia, and Canada. There's probably alot more that I don't know about too If we do win I'm gonna ask how many votes we ended up with, I'd be interested to hear the number! Thanks again for the votes If we find out we won on Friday we'll be scheduling the trip within the next two weeks so we'll be able to let everyone know when we'll be there if we all want to meet!
