That was back in 1999 or so. We didn't realy travle outside of our county, so maybe that's why it seemed so common to me. Isn't Safeway big out there?

I've never been in a Winn-Dixie before, just drove by them. I wonder what kind of stuff they have in there. XD

All the Winn-Dixies by us are going bankrupt and closing. That's why Publix is the best place to go ;3

And of course the exact same is happening here... though I don't really even know of a Winn-Dixie here any more, I remember some when I used to live in Virginia. Though, yeah, Publix is much better anyway. :D My mom goes to Publix all the time, while she never really went to Winn-Dixies back up in VA...

Yeah, Publix and Winn Dixie are both grocery stores. I think Publix is a nicer one, but it's been like, 6 years since I was in Winn Dixie, so I'm not sure. From what I saw, Winn Dixie wasn't anything special, so I can see how it's going out of business. XD

Being up in Canada, I'm lucky to have even heard of these. :[ I've only heard of this mythical Winn-Dixie because Andy was talking about them once, and Publix was the grocery store nearest our rental house when we went to Florida last year. xD; We don't have either up north.

Dude, that sounds like an awesome job if you're TOLD to surf the net in your free time. XD;

8( The only grocery stores we have around here are Sobey's (which is nice to see since it reminds me of Nova Scotia 8D) and a Zehr's in the nearby mall. The Zehr's is where I prefer to go grocery shopping.

Chuck Gammage Animation. It's just for the summer but I like it a lot here

Currently we-..

I FOUND THE SQUIGGLE!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyways.. currently we're working on a bunch of projects.. I had to put together some Kellogs Berry Blast storyboards into proper format..

I get paid like.. $13 an hour or something.. not sure..
I work from 9:30 to 6..
I get an hour for lunch.. $500 a week ._. So it's pretty good..
Plus like.. yesterday I did nothing for like 3 hours since scenes aren't ready yet..
But like.. when it gets to deadline time.. it starts getting tough (or so I hear)..

But yeah.. It's cool~~ You can see some of the stuff we do if you type the name into google. (I wont link because I dunno if that's considered advertising or like.. the higher ups will gimme an infringement or whatever.. infraction..)

...XDD Okay for some reason I found you finding the ~ key really funny. :[ I almost spit water on my DAD'S laptop this time, lmao.

Linking to their site or something wouldn't be a problem. It's really just forum links that're bad; in-context links are a-okay. 8D

...hey, they did Hubba Bubba commercials? XD

Yeah! And the Listerine one too. Charlie Bonifacio actually helped animate the listerine one :3 He's the dad of one of the 4th years I helped, and he's also working for Disney, too .o. He did a whole bunch of stuff for Disney (Mushu from Mulan, All dogs go to heaven, etc)
And one guy named Seamus, who's sitting like.. in the desk at my side did all the camerawork for that commercial too @@; It won some sort of 2002 finalist award.. *Shrugs* Well that's what the frame on the wall says...

Edit: :/ Holycrap.. I'm really bored..

Oh and the site is cganim.com ._.

I'm in North GA... so it's more then just a "not far South".... it's more like.... lots of hours. Like when we were going to Disney World we had to stop in South GA for the night. XD

And Derrick... Florida isn't "The South" sure it's in the South, but it's not "The South". *just opened up a whole can of worms there* XD

I've been there twice. My favourite park is Epcot, especially where all the parts representing different countries are~ In the Japan part, I bought some manga and some sushi. (b")b

However, the Canada part was laaaaame. All there was was a stupid video that said that Canada was a "multicultural country," which it is, but then the video only showed white people. >>;

I bought Pokémon plushies in the Japan part. 8) My family went back to WDW last year on vacation. It was so much fuuuun. n_n I think my favourite part was probably Animal Kingdom since we did that the first day and no one was grating on each other's nerves or anything. ._.

Oh lol the Canada pavilion video IS lame. :( I hear they're changing it though.

I've been to Disney World... five or six times, I think. My favorite park was MGM Studios (I think), the Tower of Terror is awesome *_* We're going back there in October, my dad has a meeting down there and we all get to go too :D

Last time I was there, the Animal Kingdom sorta.. sucked. Like, it had nothing in it (of course, this is was like... 4 years ago). But, apparently they added some new roller coaster or something, so I'm kinda looking forward to it XD

I really, really, really wanted to go Animal Kingdom. >: It looked like so much fun, but we didn't have enough time when we went to Florida the first time. And no one else in my family didn't want to go the second time.

They're changing the video? About time. XD; It's kind of... outdated. My parents were so insulted after they saw it... XD;

Btw, at MGM, they have the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, right?

EDIT// Yeah, they do. Was it a good ride?

I don't know if they're part of Diseny, I just know they have a park at Disney World :x

And yes! :3 The Tower of Terror is loads of fun, especially since it does it differently every time. The line was kinda outrageous though, as with most rides at Disney :/

I would have loved to have gone on the Tower of Terror, except we won't be going to Disney again for a really, really long time. .__. It reminds me of the Canada's Wonderland ride "Drop Tower," from what I'm hearing, except you're standing instead of sitting.

It's a Small World was so over-hyped. >>; The ride was so creepy, really, all those little children, staring at you and singing that song over and over and over... it creeped me out so much.

I've only been to Disney once. But I had fun when I went, but it was far far too short. We were only there for a few days (and we went to Disney only one day), I'd like to go back someday and spend a little more time and see more of it

Awe, I love Disneyworld. x3
I recommend Epcot, it's fun to see all the different country’s' styles.
And Space Mountain is awesome; you can't see anything that's in front of you. xD

Technically, Florida is part of "The South." It did betray the Union during the American Civil War, after all.
