Congratulations Luke! Great review!

Aaron- It's actually Luke's 14th award. You gave him his 13th one last time. :wink:

A big congrats, Luke! It was an excellent review for an awesome film and DVD (you're one of the few people I know besides myself who likes Narnia more than Lord of the Rings. Kudos to that!) :D

Sorry, Luke! It's been corrected.

Bouncer at UD Awards: So that's what happened to the "Disney Characters on Holiday" Epcot Bus! They're taxi-ing UD members to the awards.

Pluto Region1: Say, isn't that Kram Nebuer driving?

Disney Lover (Tabbi): Hey! He doesn't have his driver's license yet!!!

Pluto Region1: Who is that sitting with him?

Tabbi: Pinnochio of course!!

Pluto Region1: No the one in the middle!

Luke: Hey kids, the party's inside! Oh look, it's the long lost UD member of the NJ Trilogy!!! Jane Mc- Or wait...is that them...Hmmmm...

Image
(yeah, that's really Jane Mccoy and Kram Nebuer :P no, those aren't our sunglasses)

Wow! You leave for vacation and a whopping 4ish awards (so many for my usual reading/laughing of the UD Forum Awards) were already awarded! We're back, fresh and relaxed (well, sort of) from another fun-filled Disney World trip! As you can see, the Kililmanjaro Safari was one of our new favorite attractions we haven't done in a while. Anyhow, enough about us...more about the awards!

:party: Congratulations to Aaron, Luke, Pasta, Guru, Narnia, and Cat Owners!! (I dunno it was kind of a whirlwind of awarding so please forgive me if I missed someone/thing!!!) Also great speeches everyone!! :party:

Congrats Luke! :) Great review! And thanks for the positive feedback on the speech guys! It's nice to know that some people enjoyed it. To be honest, I'd forgotten what I'd written and I was hoping that it was okay when it was posted. Once again, congrats to Luke for winning, and while we're at it congrats also goes to all the award winners, and all of the nominees. Also, thanks goes to all who provided speechs. And finally a BIG thanks to Aaron, for making this all happen. It's been great reading this for the past few weeks, and I've enjoyed all of the special little tributes that have been posted throughout the ceremony.
CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! :) :D :) :D :) :D
THANKS AARON! :) :D :) :D :) :D

Why Bea Arthur was never considered for the role of James Bond earlier is beyond me.

This October, we'll all finally add The Little Mermaid to our collection. For now, to hold us over, with our final award of the year, I give you The Little Merman!

----

Miscellaneous. The definition of the word is as follows: "Consisting of diverse things or members." How else could one describe the Ultimate Disney Forum better? While we may be diverse, the UD members assemble one large family filled with controversy, intrigue, jealousy, betrayal, se.... excuse me -- I seem to be turning our "story" into the latest episode of Desperate Housewives. Anywhoo yes, we have a diverse and most of the time fun group. However, only one out of the following can hold claim to the title of UD Member of the Year. -----TheLittleMerman

And the nominees are:
2099net
AwallaceUNC
DVD junkie
Escapay
Loomis
Luke
MickeyMousePal
Pasta67
Pinkrenata
RJKD23
Timon/Pumbaa fan


....And.....


...Now....


....The moment you've all been waiting for....

...The UltimateDisney.com Forum Member of the Year...


....is....

<i>This is Luke's 15th Golden Mickey Award and his third consecutive win for UD Forum Member of the Year. He has 24 total nominations this year and has previously won five times this year.

CONGRATULATIONS, LUKE! There couldn't be a more deserving winner of an award. Thanks for all you do to make UltimateDisney.com the Wizzle Dizzle fo' shizzle hot spot that it be!

All right Luke! We couldn't have a more fitting winner for the final award.

Great speech, Merman. T'was a great way to wrap the whole awards ceremony up.

By the way, guys, while you're congratulating Luke & Merman for their award/speech, be sure to give a big round of applause to Aaron as well for putting this whole show on for us. It was an incredible amount of work on his part and I think he deserves a pat on the back from all of us.

Congradulations, Luke!

Thank you, Aaron!

I'm afraid I can't take credit for that... I just found it on Google Images.

Congrats once again, Luke! You've become the Ben-Hur/Titanic/Lord of the Rings of this awards ceremony! Now give us a speech to (literally) end all speeches!

And a huge thank you to Aaron for hosting this! Huzzah! :D

Now excuse me while I pose with my award for the press! ;)

or modify the rules so it can be a limit of prizes and nominations.That would help to have more members as winners instead almost the very same of last year

Congrats Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke, Luke -- "oh!", and Luke.

Also, fabulous job Aaron -- you really handled the ceremony incredibly well. As well, thanks to Pasta for your kind words (I thought my speech would be a flop!)

I'm such a ham.
