Fantasyland Re-Imagained

Big news at Walt Disney World, Thursday, December 7, they will be unveiling the brand new Fantasyland expansion.  This expansion is the largest expansion in the Magic Kingdom's four-decade history, nearly doubling the size of Fantasyland.

Fantasyland is one of the seven themed lands of the Magic Kingdom.  This land is inspired by Disney animated classics such as Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Dumbo.

The "Enchanted Forest" expansion features a Little Mermaid ride "Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid", a Beauty and Beast-themed "Be Our Guest Restaurant" and Ariel's Grotto.

When you come to AAPC's conference you will definitely want to check out the newly updated Fantasyland!  For more details check out there website.

Be Our Guest

Dear AAPC Members:

It gives me great pleasure to invite you to attend our 2013 National Conference in beautiful Orlando, Florida, at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort and Convention Center. The setting alone will lay the foundation for a magical experience for all.  Years ago, Walt Disney said: “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”  We couldn’t agree more, and this conference will do just that! With the launch of our ICD-10 General Code Set Training (which some called impossible) and the broad offering of pertinent, timely health care subjects combined with loads of fun – this is one conference you won’t want to miss!  From the minute you book your ticket, you’ll be part of the magic – the Disney Magic Express (DME) from the Orlando airport, the magic of seeing old friends and making new, the magic you feel as you grasp new concepts and increase your level of  knowledge, and of course, the actual magic of enjoying Disney World with your complimentary ticket!  So please join me for an unforgettably magical experience as we journey together toward ICD-10 implementation, hone other coding, compliance, and audit skills, or even jump into one of our practice management sessions.

Let me end with one more quote from Walt, who said, “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”  We’ve heard the talk for years….it’s time to begin the walk.  See you there!

Reed Pew

Chairman and CEO

The FUN never stops when Johnny is around....

If you haven't been to a regional or national conference before then you have never seen The Biscuit Reports or met Johnny Biscuit.  He is AAPC's conference comedian.  Every morning at the general session we will start the morning off with The Biscuit Report - a snip bit of hilarious conference footage.  So if you see Johnny roaming the halls of the hotel in his suit asking questions, don't be shy to say hi!

Check out the Las Vegas National Conference Biscuit Wrap-up Video!

"Dragged Through the Garden" Dog....PLEASE!

Now if you want to experience everything Chicago, well you will have to try a CHICAGO DOG!  Now a Chicago-style hot dog or Chicago dog is an all-beef frankfurter on a poppy seed bun. It has many toppings which they, Chicagoan's, call "dragged through the garden".  It starts with yellow mustard on the dog, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, and a dash of celery salt.  Now you understand why they say "dragged through the garden", they aren't kidding.

You will notice there is no ketchup in the ingredients.  Well, there is a strong widely-shared opinion among aficionados that ketchup is UNACCEPTABLE.  Apparently some Chicago hot dog vendors do not even offer ketchup as a condiment.  Who knew!

Now where can you find a fabulous Chicago hot dog..check out these places:
Chubby Wieners 4652 N. Western Ave, Lincoln Square, Chicago
Superdawg Drive-In  6363 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago
Portillo's 100 W. Ontario, Chicago
Hot Doug's 3324 North California, Chicago

DO U KNOW UNO?

"It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up with Chicago. She outgrows his prophecies faster than he can make them." - Mark Twain, 1883

 

Chicago, more specifically 'Pizzeria Uno", is said to be the birthplace of Deep Dish Pizza. City lore has it that a Texan named Ike Sewell created the dish at his bar and grill named Pizzeria Uno in 1943.

During the depression of the thirties, followed by the war years of the forties, Americans ate one-dish meals of "casseroles", easily procured ingredients that would satisfy the stomach, stretch the budget and not cost many ration coupons. Therefore, the more you could load onto a pizza crust, the better it would be, and doubtless a deep pan would be more like a casserole. Moreover, the crust would not need the fancy stretching and pushing, even tossing, that the traditional Italian thin pizza would require. The mozzarella cheese would be on the bottom and the crust and toppings would all bake and ooze together and become one of America's legacies to fast foods nationwide and waistwide!

Did you know...

The Great Chicago Fire

The summer of 1871 was very dry, leaving the ground parched and the wooden city vulnerable. On Sunday evening, October 8, 1871, just after nine o'clock, a fire broke out in the barn behind the home of Patrick and Catherine O'Leary at 13 DeKoven Street. How the fire started is still unknown today, but an O'Leary cow often gets the credit.

The firefighters, exhausted from fighting a large fire the day before, were first sent to the wrong neighborhood. When they finally arrived at the O'Leary's, they found the fire raging out of control. The blaze quickly spread east and north. Wooden houses, commercial and industrial buildings, and private mansions were all consumed in the blaze.

After two days, rain began to fall. On the morning of October 10, 1871, the fire died out, leaving complete devastation in the heart of the city. At least 300 people were dead, 100,000 people were homeless, and $200 million worth of property was destroyed. The entire central business district of Chicago was leveled. The fire was one of the most spectacular events of the nineteenth century, and it is recognized as a major milestone in the city's history.

AAPC’s TOP SIX MUST SEE/MUST DO ATTRACTIONS IN CHICAGO

SKYDECK CHICAGO (Located in the iconic Willis Tower -formerly Sears Tower)

Test your love of heights and step out onto The Ledge:  a collection of glass boxes extending 4 feet out from the side of the building, and giving you the chance to peer 1,300 feet straight down, or out at the entire city. We double-dog dare you!! 

NAVY PIER

DEEP-DISH PIZZA

Make no mistake about it, Chicago is famous for its deep-dish pies, and Giordano’s is, well frankly, the best (at least we think so!) There are apparently 12 of them in Chicago alone, so find one – or find a different one, but the point is, don’t miss it!

GARRETT POPCORN

Calling all popcorn lovers….if you love popcorn, you’ll looooove Garrett’s! For more than 60 years, they've been serving up their famous bits of corny deliciousness. Choose from the Chicago mix, caramel crisp, cheese, buttery, plain, almond, pecan, cashew, or macadamia nut. We’ll be there waiting in line – be sure to say ‘hi’!

MAGNIFICENT MILE

Oprah may have coined the phrase, but it’s up to each of you to chart your way along the shops, restaurants, and entertainment treasures found along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. This shopping adventure will be like no other – but pace yourself, no need to set a Personal Record on this mile! 

It is official...

Chicago will be the location of the 2012 Regional Conference!!!!

Chicago, what do you think of when you think of Chicago?  The "Windy City" might be one thought, the natural breeze from it being on the shores of Lake Michigan.  Maybe you think of the "Magnificent Mile" where there are thousands of restaurants, upscale shopping as well as renowned architecture.  Or maybe you even think sports such as Wrigley Field where the Chicago Cubs play, the Chicago Bears or the Chicago Bulls.  Well, whatever comes to mind when thinking of the great city of Chicago, you may now experience first-hand.  Come join AAPC at the 2012 Regional Conference where you will experience an outstanding educational agenda and the world-class city of Chicago.

Mr. Pew's Favorites in Las Vegas

Reed has seen The Beatles LOVE, KA and "O".  Here is what Reed has to say about the shows.  

Reed and his wife Julie at The Beatles LOVE show

"All are Cirque de Soleil shows. "O" is a water show that is amazing;  it is the best show in Vegas.   It’s at the Bellagio.  LOVE is acrobatics set to Beatles music with people flying over your head and around the huge stage and room.  That show is at the Mirage.  Fun, fun, fun.    KA is also acrobatics but on a moving stage that tilts in almost every direction including straight up and down.  It’s unbelievable how the performers don’t fall off it.  It’s at the MGM (the big green hotel) and very good."

Reed's other tidbits that he found while in Vegas recently: 

 "First - there is a ton less smoking in the casino’s than I remember; Second - unless gambling is really fun for you, save your money for shows and restaurants; Third - there are many excellent restaurants along the Strip in Vegas but the cheap ones are almost all gone; Fourth - if you want a Sunday brunch at a hotel along the strip, be prepared to stand in a long line to get in or pay $10 extra for a short line, nonetheless the brunches are all very, very good;  and fifth the weather should be excellent in April and the walk along the strip is surprising short from one big hotel to another.   Take a cab from the Rio to the Strip (less than $10) and then walk to see things – great exercise and does not take long to get where you want to go.   Don’t recommend high heels though." 

See you in Vegas!

Amy, Sandra, Kira and Melanie at The Beatles LOVE show

Vegas, Baby

Why not spice up your conference experience by taking in one of the top shows or concerts in town?  Las Vegas is known throughout the world as The Entertainment Capital of the World, so planning to see a show either before, during, or after conference is the perfect way to relax and have some fun! Besides the Cirque du Soleil offerings – Beatles LOVE, KA, O, and Mystere (www.vegas.com/CirqueduSoleil), there is always the Blue Man Group or the Mac King Comedy Magic Show.
