For those who knew Mr. Kent:

Beloved Disney Designer Dies - Ralph Kent, a veteran Disney artist who designed the first limited-edition Mickey Mouse watch and helped secure the character's iconic global image, has died from complications due to esophageal cancer, the company said. He was 68.

Kent, who retired from the Walt Disney Co. in May 2004 after 41 years as an artist and merchandise designer, died Monday at his central Florida home.

"Ralph was a real pixie - a big guy with a soft manner and always a warm smile," said Marty Sklar, a Walt Disney Imagineering executive vice president. "He said he 'fell under the spell' of Disney when he saw 'Pinocchio' ... It was fitting that Ralph capped his Disney years as a trainer, mentoring new artists and creating a reference collection of character model sheets."

Kent taught new artists how to draw Mickey Mouse and other classic characters and explained their personalities and how they should interact with each other. Kent also helped popularize classic attractions such as Disney's "Jungle Cruise."

The company credits him with creating many of its "most memorable souvenirs," including a 1965 limited-edition Mickey Mouse watch for adults. Walt Disney was so fond of Kent's creation he gave it to his executives.

Born in New York in 1939, Kent became fascinated with Disney characters at age 10 and studied art at the University of Buffalo after receiving an encouraging response from a letter he sent to Walt Disney. He joined the company in 1963. He was named a Disney Legend in 2004. Kent is survived by his wife, Linda, two daughters and three stepsons.

Hello all DVC Sailers pirate:

I am new to this great group. DH and I have sailed with Disney 7 times and we are very excited about our first DVC member cruise. We have always used our points on other disney adventures and my college age DK's are upset about being left at home. We are happy to be sailing and cannot wait.

On the Panama Canal cruise (East to West) we noticed the DisBoards had a fish extender program! I was wondering if this would be occuring on this cruise as well. If so how does it work and how many gifts should I be prepared for?

We will be staying at the Radisson Port on 9/20/07 and would love to meet other DisBoards members. Also we look forward, to the DisBoards meet on board the Wonder.

Kay-
That new banking system is discussed on the DVC boards and is in the new vacation magic.

Basically you have to bank all or nothing now, no 50%, 25% or whatever. BUT you get an extra 2 months to do that. You have up until 4 months before the end of your UY to bank all your points.

For me I have a June UY, I had to bank 100% by November 30th under the currentl system. Then after that it would be 50% or 25% or whatever. Starting in January I will have until January 31st to bank 100% of my points, but after that I can't bank any at all. It will be an all or nothing type thing.

Welcome aboard!

I think Amanda or Annette mentioned doing the fish extender exchange. Not sure if there were any takers or not.

What does everyone think? Those who have done it before how did it work and what type of things did you exchange. As I've said before our gifts have always been the buttons and we pass them out at the meet but would love to hear from others.

[krdisneybound]

thank you so much.

I'll have to look into it very soon to see what I have to do.

Yikes.............

wonder why the DVC lady didn't tell us that in the meeting????????

Banking? whats that? HAHA. We tend to borrow more than bank. I don't think in the 5 years we have had DVC that we have ever banked. Maybe developer points at the beginning but not since.


I posted about doing the fish extenders last week. So if any one is game, we would like to participate.

Annette

[themallons]

The Mallons are interested..I just need to know type of "fish" to bring & how many..any suggestions? I cannot wait to sail..it is 60 degrees here in Buffalo!:surfweb:

[trishy]

Hi guys!!! I don't think we will be able to do a party in the parking lot either, though it sounds like a lot of fun. We are leaning toward the Disney bus.

I finally found a thread about what the fish extenders are. It's here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1219607&highlight=fish+extenders for anybody like me who was confused :confused3 We would definitely be in for this. What a great idea.

Anyway, quickie post 'cause I just gotta get to bed. Early wake up tomorrow. In one month we'll be in WDW - I'm happy! :yay: :yay: http://hometown.aol.com/kabob1966/images/yay.gif

[bgsnmky]

I am sure Dawn and I would be interested in the Fish Extenders! She is already into the door sign thing!

We have our pirate outfits all ready to go sitting in one of the spare bedrooms along with door sign stuff !

Okay, I have three fish extenders and Kay must have at least a couple.

Is there a way to get more "fish" outside our stateroom door? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

And yes, I'm game for the fish extender thingy!

[gamomof2]

So have we started a Fish Extenders list yet? I'm not sure if I missed that or if it had happened yet?

our youngest (12) is going into the hospital tomorrow for a NG feeding tube. Seems food or something is aggravating her stomach and the scope procedure showed a nasty tummy lining. So she'll go several weeks with just liquid diet through the tube and hopefully that will help. We should be home Wednesday evening.

DMIL is going to help me sew something resembling a FE. Hope it's up to par.

I know normally on the 4 night cruise there normally is no formal night but the DVC website is talking about a formal ball in the Atrium one night. I am thinking about just wearing a dress shirt and slacks are others dressing up? What about the people who never read the article?

Here is what is says for Day 3 on the DVC Cruise Site:

Then in the evening, honor Disney's greatest contributors at our Legends Ball. This elegant affair promises to sparkle so don your finest gowns and formal wear and join us in the ship's atrium. You'll enjoy music and dancing as you mingle with other Members and revel in a host of surprises. It's the perfect way to honor Disney greatness, so don't miss this glittering event.

[trishy]

Poor thing! That can't be easy for her or you guys. Our thoughts are with you - I hope everything goes well and she feels better soon.

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

Tom & Diana - yes we saw the posting about the Legends Ball. We were all talking about it about a week ago. General feeling is some are dressing up more than originally planned while others aren't. I don't think anyone is planning to go full formal like Tux's and gowns. I think everyone is looking forward to it.

[krdisneybound]

Hi Diana and Tom:

Was taking about you last week w/my sister when I was in Orlando before we left for the Wonder. Were your ears burning??????????? ha ha

We were at VWL - love that place

yep, there are mixed emotions about the BAll. I was standing on Deck 4 overlooking the Atrium this past weekend and saying "no way". It looked so small. No one will be seeing what you wear anyways - there will be so many people around. :confused:

I am going out today to look for something to wear for formal night. Thinking cocktail attire.

Hope everyone has a great day.

YES the staterooms have hairdryers. I have really thick hair. I about burn my hand though before my hair is dry. They tend to get "hot" as they are not the traditional hair dryer that we are used to.

You can go to this link to find the origin of the fish extender as well as pictures of the original and then variations of the extender as people started making them once the originals were no longer available. It has become quite a phenomenon on some of the Disney Cruises we have been on. Fish extender contests, tours around to all the stateroom doors to look at them, gifts, etc.

If you bring you own hair dryer, bring a small outlet strip. Our hair dryer plug doesn't fit the outlets on the ship.

[DVCkidsMOM]

I remember hair driers on the Magic in Jan 2005...
I can't believe we're only about a month away! I've sent the kids to grandparents for the day to organize my closet so I'll be able to pack... I don't get that kind of cleaning done usually as a homeschool mom, but when they go to their grandma and grandpa's for a day or two, I can get all sorts of organizing done. :woohoo: Problem is, I'm years behind :rolleyes1
Hoping to have a more regular (though even more busy) schedule now that school semester activities are started so I can check in here from time to time. Bummed to learn of launch delay but now, rather than heading for Port Canaveral early for the launch and avoidance of traffic, we can stay in WDW for the afternoon meet pre-cruise. :thumbsup2

[DVCkidsMOM]

I'm trying to catch up somewhat - so now I've got a few questions. I'm sure I'll find more questions and answers and ideas as I read further back too.
Dressing up - am going on 40th Bday (cheap long-weekend with "the girls" only) cruise soon so have a dress I bought for that. It will be worn at V&A prior to cruise, at Palo and I suppose at the DVC evening event about which I have not even read. Sounds like it may be all I have to pack ;) I seem to have missed a DVC member cruise email but will go to our DVC link to read it...
I need to make a funky fish extender...
What time is the parking lot party? I don't think we'll be there early enough since we're leaving the car at the Sheraton at the Port and are reserved on the earliest shuttle to Port Canaveral - no idea (yet) what time that will be or if I can even get from shuttle drop off to the super-secret-double-probation early arrival DVC party parking lot!
Gifts - found a few vague references, but am just not "getting it." I am not technically savvy enough to make buttons. Can someone please give me some ideas of what has and has not been done in the past and where do I find a list of everyone. (...tell me I don't have to keep a running list as I read the board :eek: ) more later as I get caught up...

[tap & dap]

Thanks all for the info on the atrium event shirt and pants it is for me save on packing.

Yes there are hair dryers in all the rooms i am an avid user of them on the cruise as i hate wet hair.

Thanks Again

Tom

PS Diana says hi

[themallons]

Hi to all DVC Cruisers pirate:

Are we ready to leave now, instead of a month from now :hourglass ?

From the response, it looks like there is interest in doing the fish extenders. Sounds like fun! I would be willing to keep a log/list of all staterooms and people who are participating in the program. This will help us know the amount of fish food needed.

If this is acceptable to everyone. I am asking that you e-mail me at themallons@aol.com if you would like to particpate. The catch will be reeled in on October 7, 2007.

Please e-mail me your stateroom and number of fish extenders per stateroom. :grouphug: After 10/7/07, I will email the respondents with a list of participating cruisers so we can know the amount of surprises to pack.

Let's make this a great fishing expedition!

If you have any suggestions, I am open to hear them as this is new to me as well!

Thank you,
Pauline

Good morning everyone!

Hopefully I can help with a few questions here.

1) The parking lot party isn't really a party. More of a lets not sit in our cars and wait when we could be standing in the parking lot and talking to other DISers. :lmao: Please don't think you are missing anything big.

Fish extenders and gifts. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. The fish extender is just for fun. Outside each stateroom is a message fish. It is where DCL will leave you little notes if needed. The extenders hang from them (thus the name fish extenders) and some DIS groups have started exchanging little gifts to the DIS families in their fish extenders. I think some of the things exchanged are magnets, pens, pirate goodies, candy, etc. You mentioned buttons and I think that comes from my comment that our buttons are the gift we give to all the DISers whether they have a fish extender or not. We give them out at the meets and they are personalized with your DIS name and real name. It is a way for other DISers to recognize each other (assuming of course you wear it - we like to wear ours right on our lanyard so we don't have to put any holes in our clothes). So we'll have our fish extender out but our gift (the buttons will be given out earlier).

Hope that helps.

Question..on the fish extenders. Can you explain on what you mean by how many fish extenders per state room. Wouldn't there only be one perstateroom. Or do you mean how many people?

[krdisneybound]

NOrmally there is one fix extender per room, but you can have as many as you want - doesn't mean there will be all full :rotfl2: :rotfl2:


I will be bringing some of the yellow electrical strips so that you can secure the fish extender outside your room - Some of them have been know to float away at times. Easily removed at the end of the cruise

Congrats to Trishy who guessed Marty from the picture!

Announcing Legend Marty Sklar

http://advc.disney.go.com/media/dvc_v0302/nonlanguagespecific/minisite/martysklar.jpg Here's your chance to see a real Disney Legend in person. Marty Sklar has helped bring Disney magic to life for nearly half a century. As Vice-Chairman and Principal Creative Executive of The Walt Disney Company, he led the design and master planning for all Disney Parks and Resorts. And in 2006, was appointed to a position created especially for him, Imagineering Ambassador.

You don't want to miss his amazing stories and insights as Marty describes his incredible career. Winner of countless awards, and the only active employee who has participated in the opening of all 11 Disney Parks around the world, he's a legend whose vision has truly shaped Disney Parks.



Guest Speaker Interviews hosted by Tim O'Day

Former marketing executive and creative consultant for The Walt Disney Company, Tim O'Day, will be the host and interviewer for our Guest Speaker Series on the S.S. Member Cruise. Recognized as a Disney authority and its place in pop culture, Tim acquired his extensive knowledge in a 30-year Disney career that included many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

Hear Tim ask the questions and garner the stories you want to hear from our Disney Legends. Tim's roles in Imagineering, public relations, special events and marketing make him the perfect host for these memorable interview presentations.

Kay, shall we have two fish extenders hanging from our fish? I can bring one of mine. Which one are you bringing? Do you want me to PM Pauline, or do you want to PM for both of us since I can't even remember what stateroom number we are in? My brain is working overtime at work! :3dglasses

[JOANNEL]

Can I use a Walmart bag???? I have no creative ability!!!!!!!!

[WDWLVR]

Wow - everyone is so quiet. I thought with some news everyone would be excited and talking about it. I, for one, am totally looking forward to Marty's presentation. I will admit when Trishy first mentioned him I didn't know who he was but reading that he's been involved with every park opening....that is amazing! I've always enjoyed the presentations by the WDW Ambassador's and can't wait to see what info Marty gives us. Great job DVC!

Now who else do you have for us? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[cobbler]

Marty was in Detroit last year and I missed seeing him. He was at the Ford?? museum with that traveling Walt Disney thing that was going on for a minute. I forget.

I thought it was him from the picture but wasn't really positive.

I think it will be quite interesting too.

I haven't heard of Tim O'Day before. Wonder if there will be anymore.

OH, I just read that a little more thoroughly and he is a host that will interview some more legends. That is fun.

We decided to do mickey not so scary on Oct 18th. Anyone else going.

[DaveH]

I haven't had the time to look them up yet. First reaction is very underwhelm and disappointed. I plan on seeing everyone I can. To me right now until I get to check later, it is much ado about nothing right now. Sorry if I am a wet blanket right now.

[DaveH]

I have done some reading on these guys and they should have great sessions. They do not live up to the build up given them by DVC. Adding a formal night late in the planning time and making it sound like someone like a Roy Disney or Julie Andrews type of person, not guys that we sound like owls saying who? This kind of stuff is very aggravating. It is really killing my excitement. DVC is failing so far, compare to its hype.

If it is Julie Andrews will someone please promise to pick me up of the floor? I really like her and will really probably keel over if she is there.

When I was reading the whole Legends thing and the ball I thought too that they have to have someone pretty exciting coming on board.

Side note: I ordered some pirate costumes for my mom and aunt to wear for the pirate party and they came in tonight. Showed mom hers and she liked it. My aunt won't get to see hers until a few days before we leave (she lives elsewhere and is flying up here so we can all go out to FL together). Keep your fingers crossed she likes hers too!

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

A few things to keep in mind about DVC and these cruises. They like to have surprises and they don't tell us everything up front.

Hear Tim ask the questions and garner the stories you want to hear from our Disney Legends.

We are definately having more than one Disney Legend. Here is a breakdown of the guests we found out about last year so you can see a timeline. Remember the sailing date was pretty much the same.

8/30 Jason Surrell Disney Imagineer was announced

9/28 Bonnie St. John Inspirational Speaker was announced

10/17 (yes 3 days before the cruise) Jennifer Hudson, Jodi Benson and Michael Collier - WDW Ambassador were announced. In this e-mail it was hinted at another guest and that it might be a member of the Disney family but we didn't know Roy would be on board until we got to the cruise.

DVC has always provided a very special musical performance. Last year it was Jennifer Hudson and Jodi Benson, the year before Susan Egan and in 2003 it was Andrea McArdle. I'm confident they will have someone special this year as well.

Of course what each person is going to be thrilled with is going to be different. For me I love to hear the Imagineers and Ambassadors talk. Sadly sometimes their presentations are the least attended. We didn't go to every presernters presentation but I have totally enjoyed all the ones I have been too and know they were all ones very few people get to see.

[JOANNEL]

Morning all,
It's been very busy at work these days. Our company has been sold so it's like going through a year end audit in Sept. UGH.

I really haven't heard of either of those two speakers so I am looking forward to hearing them.

Hope all is well, we are supposed to be getting some bad weather this week end from what ever they are calling this non tropical storm!!!

have a great thursday.

[acourtwdw]

I am looking forward to Marty Sklar! I just hope his presentation isn't during our Palo brunch.

I love the surprises. I am 50/50 on knowing vs. not knowing.

I can't believe how close we are to going. I should start my packing list.

I ordered the tix for MNSSHP on the 18th. Anyone else going that night?

Today is my day off, so that means cleaning and errands.
Oh, and working on our fish extender.

I'm too excited to sleep!! :goodvibes

Hi,

Curious, where did you get your cosutumes from? I have been looking around but haven't found anything I like yet?

I just heard about this event that is happening Saturday October 20th. Thought other fans might be interested.

Morning Star Breakfast with Thomas Kinkade (http://psc.disney.go.com/eventservices/disneygallery/wdwkinkade2007.html)

[JOANNEL]

it's a little pricey.

[WDWLVR]

it's a little pricey.

Yes it is but I've been a Thomas Kincaide fan for years and drooled over his Disneyland print. I'm considering it an anniversary gift since our anniversary is one week from then.

[jemiaule]

Hi,

Curious, where did you get your cosutumes from? I have been looking around but haven't found anything I like yet?

Thanks!

First I did a Google search looking just for pictures to get ideas. Try a search on Google like "pirate costume adult". Once you get your search results back click on the Images link in the top left of the Google page. This will take you to pages of image results - this is really nice feature to use when looking for stuff like costumes. You can scan thru photos of things at a bunch of sites at once.

Other good search terms to try: "peasant costume" or "rennaissance costume" (will bring up ren faire costumes that, with the right accessories work well for pirates). Also try looking up "tavern maid costume" or "tavern wench costume" - a lot of these will be good women pirates.

Once I found a few things I liked at various stores I headed over to eBay looking for some good deals - On my mom and aunts outfits I found them cheaper on eBay. For my outfit I found one part cheaper at an online store and the other part cheaper on eBay.


My mom would rather gnaw off her own arm than wear a dress so I found her an Elizabeth Swann pirate outfit on eBay. I think this was out last halloween, I have not seen it in any stores this year (so far).

My aunt however will wear a dress and is very outgoing person. So for her a tavern maid type of costume (we will add a few piratey bits like a baldric maybe) was perfect for her:

I could not find any standard costume I liked for me and I didn't want to wear a dress either. So I am putting various bits and pieces together. So far I have these pieces ordered and just need to get a couple of accessories.

I am looking forward to Marty Sklar! I just hope his presentation isn't during our Palo brunch.

I must have missed it - where was it mentioned Marty Sklar will be there?

[WDWLVR]

It was up on the Member Cruise website yesterday and I posted about it in post #3024

[acourtwdw]

Blouse:

I love that blouse!! That is what I've been looking for. Thanks for all the links.

[DaveH]

I am looking forward to seeing and hearing these guest. I do not like the way DVC is handling of getting information out. I love Disney and DVC, but they do get full of themselves at times, like I do.

[krdisneybound]

Hi everyone:

I know this is OT - but have to share this.

My son, Kim, is in Iraq for about 1-1/2 years now and he will be home very, very soon. My heart aches until he returns safely.

Here is a pic he sent to us yesterday.

(thanks for letting me share) (I'll be on the cruise when he arrives in the States - boo hoo)

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b133/disney_gems33/kimseptno22007.jpg

[acourtwdw]

This is the son from a few pages ago, right?

How soon unitl he comes home?

[WDWLVR]

That's great that he'll be home soon. Will he stay based in Hawaii?

[krdisneybound]

yep, he is my only son -

He'll go to Hawaii and papers are already in process for them to move to Ft. Rucker, AL - There is a 6 month course that is required before they can go anywhere else. Eventually they would like to move down closer to me and his sisters but that is yet to be determined.

[jmndisnuts]

Thanks, this is very helpful. I have to get moving to get my outfit ready. How long did yours take to ship?

[jemiaule]

Thanks, this is very helpful. I have to get moving to get my outfit ready. How long did yours take to ship?

I ordered everything but the pants on the 17th (all from different people/stores). Two things came in yesterday, one came in today.

[gamomof2]

Our family is from Dothan. I have two relatives that work on the helicopters there. It's about 1 1/2 hrs to Destin or PC so that will be a nice break (though not as nice as Hawaii). We're 3 hrs from there so we go about every 6 months or so. DM is headed there this weekend for her high school reunion.

[JOANNEL]

Kay, It's great he's almost home. His kids must be excited. I wish them the best in Dothan. I have been there for a few swim meets. It's a small town with lots of dressed up peanuts all aver the place??? They do have a great recreation area for families.

Well gotta get to work.

have a great Friday- Ours is going to be rainy & windy..........

[WDWLVR]

Just giving us a bump so we don't fall off the front page.

Just a reminder that tonight is cruise chat so stop on by if you are free. (Just click on the word chat on the red bar above). Chat starts at 9 pm Eastern time.

[bgsnmky]

Hi to all DVC Cruisers pirate:

Are we ready to leave now, instead of a month from now :hourglass ?

From the response, it looks like there is interest in doing the fish extenders. Sounds like fun! I would be willing to keep a log/list of all staterooms and people who are participating in the program. This will help us know the amount of fish food needed.

If this is acceptable to everyone. I am asking that you e-mail me at themallons@aol.com if you would like to particpate. The catch will be reeled in on October 7, 2007.

Please e-mail me your stateroom and number of fish extenders per stateroom. :grouphug: After 10/7/07, I will email the respondents with a list of participating cruisers so we can know the amount of surprises to pack.

Let's make this a great fishing expedition!

If you have any suggestions, I am open to hear them as this is new to me as well!

Thank you,
Pauline

So how are we doing on the Fish Extenders. I was going to go this weekend and get the stuff to make them, but wanted to make sure we are on and we are FISHING:woohoo:

[trishy]

YEAH!!!! I was right! Marty Sklar is a GREAT choice and a WONDERFUL addition to the DVC cruise. We met him, and Tim O'Day, at the 50th Event at Disneyland. These are the greats, guys! Tim O'Day has an amazing personality, too, I might add.

Marty was one of the originals alongside Walt in the early days of building the Disney name - he has put very influential footprints on the Disney brand (parks and animation).

Tim O'Day co-wrote a book called Disneyland: Then and Now which is an amazing read. This guy can tell you everything about that park (I'm partial to it since it's in my backyard). His personality is the greatest part of him though. I know everyone who meets him will come away with a warm feeling.

I'm excited about this news. My husband was hoping for Olszewski, too, because he wants a miniature replica of the ship - hint, hint, Disney, if you're reading... but he's still happy with this news.

:cool1:

Congrats to Kay that Kim is coming home!!! :cheer2: Can't say enough THANK YOUS to all of the military families for the brave sacrifices you make. :thumbsup2

Fishy fishy - I'll email you Pauline. Thanks for putting it together. I'll have to come up with something clever now.

We went to Disneyland yesterday and rode on Nemo for the first time - lines were too long before, but yesterday it was only a 45 minute wait (of course, the rest of the rides were walk ons :confused3 ). What a fun ride!! Don't think I'll wait more than 30 minutes for it again, but it was a cute ride put together very well. Loved the animations. It was just so nice to be able to step foot in the subs and submerge in the lagoon again.

We leave in 21 days!!! :yay: Can't wait! :woohoo:

[trishy]

I had to post this from what I read on the main cruise forum. Looks like we got a piece of prime real estate for the 10/21 cruise:

:confused3 Think I could get that price on the open market for our cruise tickets?

:rotfl: :lmao:

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

Trishy - thanks for the great feedback on Marty and Tim. I had honestly not heard of either man but after reading what DVC put out I was excited. Now I'm even more excited hearing your first hand experiences.

Too funny about the pricing. A computer glitch for sure! :rotfl:

[JOANNEL]

ok, we are 4 weeks out. I have to send the dining list in to DCL. So if you haven't sent me you info please do.

If you want to sit with other Disers i need your full names, ages, cabin numbers and early/late dining.

I bearly have enough for three tables at each sitting, so I havn't heard from many. Please let me know.

Have a great day- from rainy Florida.............

[krdisneybound]

geez, I guess I better get my head together this morning. I just read your post and thought - hey - I just posted that, why did it send me my post??

I am doing the same thing for another cruise and I just didn't stop to think.

OK - time to regroup !!!

GOOD MORNING ------------

Little rain here in Ft. Lauderdale also.

Now if our small airplanes taking off and landing from the private airport about 5 miles from my house, we would be just fine and dandy.

Another one crashed yesterday on I-95 about 1 miles from my house. Traffic was no good to say the least.

Am going out to eat some b/fast this morning at a local little friendly restaurant. I love that place. Nicest people I have met in a long time - until the Member cruise coming up and I met you guys :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

No, seriously ;)

I have tried mapquest to Saratoga Springs. It can't find it!!!!!

[krdisneybound]

I have tried mapquest to Saratoga Springs. It can't find it!!!!!

I know mapquest is right up to date. Might even be months or more behind.

Do you know how to get there??? Or are you just trying to do the mapquest to confirm??

Can tell you.

[JOANNEL]

Kay- being the cruise expert, what does every one like in the fish extender?

[WDWLVR]

I want to echo Joanne's post on a few counts.

1) if you are having doubts about linking dining please don't It is a lot of fun. Even if you have a full table or want a table for just your family you can asked to be linked and seated with the group but at your own table.

2) this is the last week for buttons as well. If you haven't sent your info in please do so now. If you are unsure check out the group web page. If I have the info for you and your family in the gallery then you are set for buttons.


One last thing and this is more for first time cruisers. Back before the 2005 Member Cruise I started doing a "tip of the day" on the thread. Some of the cruisers asked me to compile them in one document which I did. A copy of the document is also on the group web page. Hopefully it will help some new first time cruisers for this cruise.

[JOANNEL]

Kay, we would love directions, we always stay at Shades of Green or the All star so we are not sure of where we are going. Do the resorts let you check in early and use the pools? We will be getting there around noon and don't have the meet until 3. We can't check in until 4- right?

[krdisneybound]

Kay- being the cruise expert, what does every one like in the fish extender?

ha ha - far from expert but do have a lot of fun.

Let's see - first off, even little things might add up to more $$'s than not 'cause $$'s do add up, as we know.

On other cruises, people have got to the M & M site and ordered a small package of M & M's with names on them. like the first name of the person giving them out - like I would put Kay or KR on them.

Maybe a little flag from the $1 store - that would be a good place to go to find small items. Maybe a package of a dozen or so would be $1. That would go a long way.

Make up a postcard on the computer with a pic of your choice and your name beneath the picture.

Little pieces of bubble gum or piece of candy for each person in the room.

How about buying CD's in bulk at Office Depot and burning some Disney songs on them. That would be real fun to do and just your time in burning them.

I'll think some more and post later - DD is coming up for b/fast and I have to get ready.

[krdisneybound]

I'll PM you the directions shortly.

Thanks,

[krdisneybound]

the norm is check in at 4:30 now !!!!!!!!!!! pretty soon we will have check in at midnight - :rotfl2:

But, I don't think I have ever gotten there early and not been able to check in. Guess it just depends on many factors.

Last week Linda and I got to VWL at 10 am and we were able to get our room right away.

It is sure worth a try to go ahead and check in and see if they happen to have rooms available. That might be a bad w/end to get it early.

I think they might be busy that week. But I would sure try.

In any event you can use the pools and they will hold your luggage for you. That is no problem at all.

I hope the rain has stopped in Fla. Nancy and I were just talking and we were wondering if you had heard anything about seating change times yet.
Also have you guys got anything ref crusise documents yet. I know two years ago we had ours

There is no problem with them letting you check in early. The resort I believe is full. Alot of us DVCers have a tendency to stay closer to check out time, so room available may not happen. You can use the pools and any of the activities they have there. SSR is a great resort like all the DVC resorts.

[JOANNEL]

Thanks Dave, we are looking forward to for first stays with DVC.

[JOANNEL]

Dan, I am going to send the list in Monday. I will let you know what they say. I have your names highlighted with a note next to it saying you want to change.

[bgsnmky]

Good Morning everyone.....lots of people busy this morning!

I cna't believe how quick we will be leaving.

So are there a few that are going to be doing fish extender? Kay and Joannel are you going to be participating?

That would be your sister, Linda, not your friend Linda here in Salt Lake...........don't want people to think I am taking more vacations and sneaking away before the cruise! I'm working, getting ready for audit! :thumbsup2

[bgsnmky]

I am guessing some of you are aware of the photopass and use it.

Has anyone heard of prepurchasing the CD? Also I just read a suggestin the other day, about getting a group together to pre-purchase the CD and everyones pictures would be on it and it would be cheaper.

Example:
if four families said they all want to do it, then the cost would be split by 4 - but EVERYONES pictures would be on the CD. But it would seem like it would be worth it and also if it was fellow Dis'rs then we would probably know them anyway.

Has anyone already done this? Anyone interested. I can find out more info.

I saw another group doing it on tourguidemike and they were down to only $30.00 a piece and you get all the pics on the CD.

How is everyone doing? I guess it's time to start packing before we put the summber clothes away for the season. I can't wait to be on board. Are they doing the photopasses on DCL? If they are I would be interested splitting with some people. Let me know.

I am still thinking about the fish extenders, will I be creative enough or even be able to sew it together. I've got a sewing machine but not the skills to put it all together. I'll let you know.

Have a great weekend everybody.

[danandnan]

Thanks joan for the heads up. has anyone out there received ther Cruise Documents yet. I know on the 2005 cruise we got them way before this. Also last time you were able to purchase 2005 cruise shirts. I haven't seen anything about it this year.

yep, my sister, Linda.

I have more Linda's and Brenda's than I know what to do with.

All the Brenda's in my family I call them B-1 and B2 and B-3 and B-4.

Gets very confusing to some :eek: :headache:

Hey Linda, (Seaulater) you don't do enough cruises and vacations. You need more, my friend :thumbsup2

[krdisneybound]

I am sort of concerned about Linda and I getting our B2B docs before we leave for this cruise.

It is their problem - we'll already be on the ship:woohoo:

We'll have our passports and we'll be on the manifest so I don't think it is a worry

We haven't gotten any documents yet. It looks like the first of October went out last week reading the other posts. All we need are the luggage tags? Isn't everything else on line?

[bgsnmky]

Are they doing the photopasses on DCL? If they are I would be interested splitting with some people. Let me know.

.


Not sure if they are doing the photopass on board, I will try to find out.

But we will be at wDW too. I will get back to you.

[krdisneybound]

yes, everything else is online.

But don't forget to print out the form that you sign and turn in to the CM when you check in. It is on your check in portion.

Well it's pouring again. We are having bands from this storm. the sun has been out then ten minutes later is pouring. Well I guess it's better than a real storm!!! I gotta get baking--- we are going to see our youngest tomorrow for his birthday at FSU. He is out playing army in the woods today with ROTC. So am sure he will be sore and starving tomorrow.

Talk to every one later.....Hope there is sun somewhere..

[tiggerguy2000]

No docs yet but I have everything else done.It would be nice to have the packet already but im sure they will come soon.

As for the rain in florida sorry Joannel but let it rain..rain..rain so when we go hopefully we will have very dry days on castaway Cay.

tiggerguy :thumbsup2

[JOANNEL]

OK, I will let it rain if it promises to be good that week in October!!!!!! I am getting housework, internet surfing and some backing done.

My boss told me yesterday we were going to be very busy the week before my vacation doing budgets. So I am trying to do some of the prelim stuff today while I am stuck in the house.

[tiggerguy2000]

Talking about rain and it just started to pour here on the jersey Shore.it was muggy this morning and as I was walking back from throwing out the garbage it started as I was sitting down with my laptop.

tiggerguy :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

[danandnan]

HI Joan
Nancy and I were talking this morning that we should check our flights for the 19th. It't a good thing we did I flights had been changed and Priceline didn't let us know unless I deleted by mistake or it went into our spam folder which I keep cleaned out . Any we call Delta and thank god we are all set with the new flight times. After getting our new flight numbers we had to call Disney Magical to give them our new flight numbers. Im glad I thought about doing that this morning.
Have a Great Weekend

I have spent many a summer at the shore, my parents and uncle lived in Spring lake for a while. Spent a lots of days in Wildwood, Cape may, belmar, spring lake & long beach island. I think Cape May was my favorite.

But after living here and in Guam where the water is so clear, I don't think I couls go in the water up there any more.

[JOANNEL]

Dan- good thing you checked, that would be awful to miss your flights.

[tiggerguy2000]

I know some of you are checking in on the 19th like me and my countdown on the DVC web page says 26 days 10 hours.
my other countdown which is set to when im boarding the plane from Atlantic City is 26 days 16 hours and 30 minutes.

WHAT IS YOUR COUNTDOWN ?

tiggerguy :thumbsup2

[JOANNEL]

We leave on the 20th, so we have 28 days yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[tiggerguy2000]

Joannel,We are trying very hard to move to Florida.On our last trip in July we looked in the Disney area and we liked the winter garden area near black lake which has alot of new homes.We will start taking weekend trips early next year and looking at area's we picked out along the east coast.I would like to try some places along the gulf coast but we have not visited that side of the state since 1987.Maybe you or others could give me some tips on what are good places for my family to start looking at.My kids are ready now to move.

tiggerguy :thumbsup2

[acourtwdw2]

Our counter says
24 Days and counting...

8 hrs 44 min 31 secs

[JOANNEL]

Tiggerguy, we love NWFL. We live 5 minutes from the beach. The air force sent us here. Once the kids got to be middle school age we decided to stay. They moved around enough in elementary school. The beaches are beautiful and the people are very nice. We have very little crime and drugs. The only down side is the lack of good jobs, the Airforce is the main employer, and of course hurricanes. We have been lucky the last 2 summers. My boys loved growing up on the beach, they surf some, lots of their friends have boats and jet skis. They just spend all summer on the beach. We have been here since 94. It took me a while to find a good job. I do accounting.

You should come up this way and look at Destin, Fort Walton, Panama City.

[acourtwdw]

Just got home from work. Amanda is now so excited she is making me crazy. We are only 24 days out and the most organized person in the house (me) has not started getting organized. Time to start the list.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

[gamomof2]

26 days 10 hrs 31 minutes

I printed out the DCL sheets. 2 total. one titled "Guest Information for your Disney Cruise Line travel party" and one called a "Payment Authorization Summary"

Does that sound right?

[krdisneybound]

yep, those are the two.

[themallons]

Hey all DCL Crusiers

So far, I have seven fishermen committed to the expedition :banana:

Some of those individuals who have responded, have not provided their stateroom number. If you are interested in being part of the Disboard fishing expedition, please e-mail me at themallons@aol.com. So I can update my list which I will share with you after October 7, 2007.

Info needed includes name, stateroom number and number of fe's. If you need information about the fe history, there is a great website that has directions on how to make a fe to create you own "wonder"ful fe. The website is part of the Disboards discussion forum, just search for fish extender.

For my fish extender "bait", I was thinking of bringing something that Buffalo is famous for but since the temperature at Castaway Cay is 79 degrees, I don't think southwest airlines would appreciate melting snowballs. Anybody have a desire for snow? I have another idea that is cooking!

Kay, congratulations on your son coming home! Like everyone else, I felt like an owl when they announced the disney legend and ambassador. I did some research and I am getting more excited about the legends. I wonder who else will be there?

DH and I will be dressing up for the ball and I just finished sewing my wench costume pirate:

I am not going to have any room left in my luggage for clothes and other neccessities with all the added stuff we are bring.

Have a great Sunday and Happy 1st day of fall (tears as the snow is coming)!
Pauline

[JOANNEL]

Hey Pauline, I don't envy you and the snow. I am originally from NY. Went to St.Bonaventure for college and spent a few years in northern Maine. I don't miss it at all. I will take the beach any day. You could bring us some wings!!!!!! I do miss good NY pizza & wings.


Have a great Sunday.

[acourtwdw]

Pauline (aka Captain of the Fishing)
I emailed you but I'm not sure if I included the stateroom. Our stateroom is 6004 and it's Amanda and I.
Thanks for doing all this. It will be great. If you bring the snow from NY, I will bring the lake effect wind from MI. BRRRRRRRR!!! It's too early to even think about that. Thanks goodness for Castaway Cay and the tropical temps.

[tiggerguy2000]

I jumped the gun on the forms and had them filled out the moment we where able to.

Hope everyone has a great day - I'm on the way to Church to see my g/daughter sing - it should be beautiful

[danandnan]

4 weeks Yahooooooooooooo...........

Just print out the page to sign, they will take it when you check in. I think they send us a bahama customs form with our luggage tags. Other than that I think everything else is on line.

Have a great Sunday every one. We are still getting rain..................

[WDWLVR]

Dan - as Joanne said just print out the page when you are finished and sign it. You'll get the Bahamas forms with your luggage tags and that needs to be filled out as well (since Castaway Cay is in the Bahamas). We just print them out, tuck them in our passports and present them at check in. A few minutes later we have our KTTW cards! Fast and easy!

[danandnan]

Mary and Joan
We are all set now I found them printed them out and they will be with us.
When Nanc and I did that is morning we didn't notice it . Thanks for the info.
I think we should be all set to board.
Mary have you heard anything about Cruise polo shirts llike we had two years ago. I know we purchased them on line before we left and received on board.
danandnan
:banana: :yay: :yay: :yay:

[WDWLVR]

Dan - they did the shirts different last year. They were available in the onboard gift shops and you didn't pre-order. I liked being able to pre-order them but many said they liked looking at them first. I'm hoping they have some special ones this year as well. I'm also hoping they aren't white as they have been the last two years just because we have too many white shirts and white and I don't always last looking good too long. :lmao:

[rbcheek]

In case anyone wants to know, the Travel Channel is having another Disney afternoon. I always enjoy watching these shows, even though I've seen them everytime they come out.

26 days and counting before landing at AKL.

[seaulater]

Not sure if they are doing the photopass on board, I will try to find out.

But we will be at wDW too. I will get back to you.

When we were on the ship in July they were NOT offering photopass. I think they won't move to this option, since they print right on board and that's how they get everyone to buy the packages and pay before they leave. I bet with photopass they would lose a lot of sales.

[krdisneybound]

yep, no photopass onboard the ships

[tiggerguy2000]

I have the travel channel send me e-mails when anything Disney will be on.I also like the shows about the cruises.

[krdisneybound]

Posted from another thread:

Disney Cruise Ships Looking to Dock at Tampa Bay - Disney Cruise Line may move some of its ships out of Port Canaveral on Florida's east coast, and executives have looked over Tampa as a possible home. Disney expects to double its fleet to four ships by 2012. The cruise line likes Port Canaveral as it's the closest to Walt Disney World, which is important because many customers combine three-and four-night cruises with stays at the theme parks.


I would like to see a permanent dock at Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale. Less than 10 minutes from my home. :thumbsup2

[cobbler]

Woo Hoo!! 4 weeks. I am so excited.

Hubby and I got a little bit of a Disney fix this weekend. We ventured over to Schaumburg and visited the Doorway to Dreams to view the AKL villas. Pretty nice I must say.

Made me want to go on vacation right now.

Can't wait!

I didn't realize you were in the area - we live about 1/2 hour from there and went to the pre-opening. Cool store huh? You picked a great weekend to visit as the weather was beautiful.

[acourtwdw]

Hope everyone had a great sunday.

I can't believe that we only have 4 weeks!!!

Wow the summer has flown by. By the way, happy first day of autumn.

Amanda made our fish extender today while I was at work.

Gotta start getting organized!! Can't wait for the last minute.

[themallons]

To all you Disboard veterans,
When the FE's have been done in the past, do the gifts placed in the FE equal the number of people in each stateroom--i.e. if there are 2 people in the stateroom, are 2 gifts put in the FE? or is it just 1 gift per stateroom? If there are 2 friends in a stateroom, is it possible to have 2 FE's? I just want to make certain I have the FE protocol correct..thank you for your reply.

[JOANNEL]

Hi all, can't believe the week end is over already. Spent the day driving and & forth from Tallahasse and taking our youngest to Outback for his birthday. He and his roommates ate most of the cake. It was nice to see him.

Have a great week.

I am sending in the dining list in the morning.

[krdisneybound]

of course, there are no "rules".

Nor the norm is one gift per stateroom.

It is really up to the individual giving the little gifts.

Some people put more $$'s into them than others - so the whole giving thing is just a great surprise.


This is not a mandatory thing and not an obligation on anyone's part

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

I agree with Kay - there is nothing set as far as the gifts. Over the years some of the things we've gotten have been per person while others have been one per family. I do agree that when there are two or more unrelated people in a room they should each get one. It should all be for fun and nothing anyone stresses over.

[danandnan]

Well here it is Sept 24th the leaves are changing and it going to be a summer type week here in Maine. The weather man says by tuesday or wednesday the temp could reach 85 to 90 crazy weather.
Nancy and I are counting the days. For the past two days she has been getting her cloths ready. She told me next week will be my turn. There's nothing like planning ahead.
Everybody have a great day.Im waiting for a call from our middle son we are going Smallmouth Bass fishing today

The doors are always open. It wasn't a bad ride. The love bugs are really bad right now. Around Marianna it was almost raining bugs, It was gross as you could hear them hit the windshield.

Dan- good luck fishing, Fall is one season I do miss. I love the colors.

have a great Monday.

[seaulater]

Well it went from the 80's on Friday, to the 60's-70's on Saturday, to the 50's-60's on Sunday and this morning when I left my house for work it was 46 degrees.

And yes, it has been snowing in the mountains and the peaks are now white. More storms scheduled for today.

Summer is officially over. :sad1:

[dopey67]

I know mapquest is right up to date. Might even be months or more behind.

Do you know how to get there??? Or are you just trying to do the mapquest to confirm??

Can tell you.


Try this
OLD KEY WEST
1510 NORTH COVE RD
LAKE BUENA VISTA FL 32830

Since they are on the same street

[krdisneybound]

I did send her directions - wasn't sure which way she was driving in.

I gave her the back roads instead of coming in through the gates - behind DTD.

Thanks, I think we will be able to find it. It just seems we get lost every time we go............

Just wondering of all you fine people who will be staying at OLD KEY WEST either before the cruise and after?We will be arriving on th19th two days before then after we will be returning to OKW and staying three more days.

We will be arriving at OKW on the 20th and then going to BW for 3 days and then onto VB for 3 more days. :goodvibes :cool1: Its been a year since last vacation and I intend to make the most of it. Who knows, after being off of work that long, I might never go home:rotfl: :rotfl:

[cherylp3]

I will be at Bonnet creek the 14th - 19th then I will be at Dolphin on 25th and VWL on the 26th.

[DaveH]

I will be at OKW the 14th to 21st. DW comes in late on the 19th to 21st. We are at SSR 25th to 28th. :cool1: :banana: pirate:

[bgsnmky]

I found out more information on the photopass and a couple threads on it.

They do NOT have photopass on the cruise so if you are only going on the cruise this will not be for you.

For anyone who will be at the World before and/or after the cruise here is some information.

This thread: http://www.stitchkingdom.com/photopass/

Explains photopass and how sharing works. Simplified - if the CD is 125.00 and 5 people split the CD, then each person pays only 25.00 for the CD and it has all the photopass pictures on the CD. It will contain your pictures and the other disboard members who share the CD.(prepurchasing the CD is 100.00)

This thread is organizing the groups.

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1468632

You sill see I am in groiup 12 with one other person looking for MORE :thumbsup2

Love to have some people from the cruise join us.....check it out!

[rbcheek]

I hope this is'nt a dumb question.
Do we need to bring extra hangers to hang up clothes?
There will be 4 of us in our room, and everyone says they have at least 5 outfits to hang.
It seems that wherever we go, hotel rooms have about 4 hangers.

[JOANNEL]

I always bring hangers. Just throw them in the bottom of your hang up bag. Bring wire and you don't have to bring them home.

I went to the disney store on my lunch hour. It was so hard not to spend lots of $$$$.


Have a good evening.

[acourtwdw]

Good evening!!!

I am so excited. We only have 23 days. OMG!!!

[tiggerguy2000]

ACOURTWDW-We are flying in the following morning.

:hourglass 24 DAYS TIL SHOWTIME :hourglass

tiggerguy :thumbsup2

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone! We leave in 23 days and still have so much to do :scared1:

I'm usually more prepared than this but I'm sure we'll be fine. We've been putting some things off to the side but really need to finally decide on which clothes to bring.

[krdisneybound]

Linda and I will be at VWL on the 20th. We will be driving up that morning. Only takes about 2-1/2 hours. Not a bad trip at all.

As far as clothes, I'll probably pack after she gets here.

I'll raid her suitcase and if there is enough for me, I'll not pack at all :lmao: :lmao:

My suitcase is still in the living room from the June, July, Aug and Sept. trips. Some items stay there until the next time.


Very bad storms here in Ft. Lauderdale. If it doesn't let up, I'll stay in all day and not go to work at the hospital today.

Hope everyone has a good day. Stay dry and safe

[aphoenix]

Greetings all. We just got back from our trip to the Eastern Med - what an amazing experience, but we sure missed 'our' ships. Nobody does it like Disney.

We just finished unpacking, and it was a bit funny to take all of the cruise stuff out of the suitcase, put it to the side, and when I was done unpacking, put it all right back in!

For the ball, I won't be doing a traditional tux, but I will be dressing formally... http://disneyinvitations.com/images/kilt.gif

We are staying at an airport hotel the night before, and have a car taking us to the port that morning.

You can raid my suitcase. :lmao:

[krdisneybound]

oh my - did I tell you OKW - then it must be OKW

for sure we'll know the morning of the 20th - it is written down somewhere in my "stuff" - ha ha

I am beginning to think that I better stop scheduling things for myself - my calendar is too crowed and crossed-out with too many chores

2. If i cant find my DDE card can i get a replacement. I never actually used the card only the temp i received in March Yes go to guest services in Epcot. We had to do this last December when I forgot to pack it. Took about 15 minues and we had a temporary card for the rest of the trip.

That cracked me up :rotfl2:

I had to turn and Dawn about it!!

By the way does anyone know if there is a different size limit on the suitcases for the cruise then for the airlines. I have one of those big 31 inch (I think) ones.

[CrazyBoutDisney]

I'm really starting to get excited, too! Been thinkin' and thinkin' about what to give out for the fish extenders and how to put one together to hang from our fish. This is one of my favorite kind of things to do and I'm so glad it will be part of our first cruise!!

For the ball, I won't be doing a traditional tux, but I will be dressing formally...http://disneyinvitations.com/images/kilt.gif OMG!! Is that a kilt??!! :faint: I DO love a man in a kilt!!

Nope. The cruiseline and the airlines have the same size limits.

When should we get our doc booklet? I can't remember when I got ours for our last cruise. I think it was fairly close to the wire though - maybe two weeks.

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

Amanda & Annette you guys are too funny!

Docs - I think it is usually about 2 weeks out. Should be getting them soon as we are just over 3 weeks away.







PDFG and all who need it.

[WDWLVR]

Just checked the October 13th Magic thread and they haven't received their documents yet so guess we have a little longer to wait.

[wispy204]

Our stuff came in to our travel agent yesterday!!! I'll be picking it up later today! I'm sure everyone else will be getting theirs soon too!!! I am so excited to go!

Nicole
DW to Wayne
Mommy to Alexander 10~17~04

[JOANNEL]

Good morning all,

Yes we are excited too. I can't wait. Work has been crazy so I can't wait to do nothing.............The only shopping I want to do is for a new swim suit. I was waiting hoping to lose some more weight, but that didn't work?

have a great day!!!!

[krdisneybound]

Good morning all

it is pretty soggy here in Ft. Lauderdale. don't mind, tho. we need the rain veyr much.

24 days until we leave for WDW. 25 days until we board the Wonder.

JOannel - good luck in getting a new bathing suit. I can never find one that I really like once I get it home. I'm sure you'll find a beautiful one. Don't worry about a size - it is only a number. :goodvibes

[JOANNEL]

Thanks Kay, I just looked at the weather map, you are getting some bad weather there. We had it all week end.

Happy Monday all.

[seaulater]

When should we get our doc booklet? I can't remember when I got ours for our last cruise. I think it was fairly close to the wire though - maybe two weeks.

Don't get too excited about getting your doc booklet. Basically about the only thing worthwhile in the doc package anymore is the luggage tags. Everything else you can get online.

If DCL could come up with a way we could all print our own luggage tags, then they could do away with sending out the package all together!

[aphoenix]

Funny you should mention that. When we sailed on Carnival last spring, we did print our luggage tags at home. We printed them on a normal sheet of paper that you folded in thirds lengthwise, and then stapled the ends together around your handle. Worked beautifully for us driving to the port, though I don't know if it would hold up to the airport handling.

[acourtwdw]

Good evening everyone!!

Three weeks from right now we are at WDW. I am so excited!!!

Besides the luggage tags, all the forms you can get from the site. Is that correct? What about the immigration form?

[acourtwdw2]

Good morning everyone our vacation countdown is now 20 days:banana: Cant wait for the weekend, the quarter will finally be done and i can get things ready for vacation.

Have a great Thursday everyone

Amanda

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone! We are at the 3 week mark for leaving. 3 weeks from now we should be somewhere in Central IL heading down to WDW! Guess I really better get in gear about planning what to pack etc.

Annette - the only form not online is the Bahama's immigration form.

Have a great day everyone!

[krdisneybound]

good morning cruisers

On the eve of our Member Cruise, I am keeping so very busy.

just want to tell you some information on my 1 YO g/baby, Abby.

Here is a pic of her the day of her b/day party - 10 days ago.


http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b133/disney_gems33/ABBY1STBDAYSEPT2007LINDAHERE001.jpg


I took her to the Dr. yesterday 'cause DD had to be in Homestead. She was giving a Seminar for Verizon. Didn't realize the Dr visit was going to be so very emotional.

Little Abby has a very large red spot around her right breast with a lump beneath the skin. I took her to have it looked at.

As soon as the Dr. saw it he said "oh, we have a very bad problem".

She has Acute Mastitis in the right breast. He drew a black round circle around it and said that if the redness touched the black ring, she would have to be hospitalized NOW.

He gave her a shot of antibotics and a script that I got filled for Karen.

We have an apptm on Friday am at 9:15 and it is more probable than not that they will put her in and either do surgery and/or very strong antibotics.

DD is totally a basket case now and I broke down horribly and could not call her until I calmed down.

We'll see what happens in the next 246 hours. We need prayers and pixie dust.

I googled "infant mastitis" and I didn't like what I read.

Life just is not fair !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:scared: :mad:

Little ones just don't understand it all and why they don't feel good

Anyways, back to our regularly scheduled cruise

[danandnan]

I can't believe the weather her in Maine. Yesterday it was 90 here when in normal weather with laeves changing and all it should be in the 60's for the high. I guess we shouldn'd complain. As Nancy said we wll probably have snow on the ground at the end of OCT( NOT )
Well people the days are getting closer to the big day. Time is just flying. We haven't got our Cruise info yet but expect it anytime.
Everybody have a Magical Day

One thing that I have been thinking about.

All of us have doggies and our little pets and Abby is around them all the time.

Even tho they are part of each of our families, when the babies are on the floor, the pets come around and give kisses and might lick on the baby bottle or on a toy that they smell the baby on, that is laying on the floor and similar things. I told DD that we must not let that happen anymore. We never know if she got this virus from one of our pets.

Maybe that is far fetched, but I just feel that we have to watch that from here on out.

My mind has been going crazy thinking about different things.

[acourtwdw]

Kay,

I will keep you and your family in my thoughts :grouphug:

[seaulater]

Kay-sorry to hear about Little Abby. This has been quite the year for you. Sometimes when it rains, it pours. Let's get some good KARMA headed your way!

See you in 3 weeks plus another 36 hours on top of that.......(not that I'm counting or anything!)

[dopey67]

Kay are thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

[DVCMom99]

I haven' t been on the pc in a few days and I came on to see this sad news from Kay. My prayers are with you and your grandbaby - who is just adorable. I hope everything will work out ok.

[CrazyBoutDisney]

:hug: for ya Kay. Adding your precious angel to my prayer list and sending a boatload of PD for her, too! My heart goes out to you all.

[tigger1bounce]

Kay-- Keeping you, your grandbaby, and family in our prayers. I know how horrible your daughter is feeling. One of the twins had surgery early on in her life (2 mths). She, Allison, had pyloric stenosis, blockage of the small intestine and unable to digest food. Ashlynne was diagonised at the same time with renal reflux. She has since "grown out" of it but not until a 1.5 yrs of antibiotics every day and several VCUGs. (I still want to cry when I think of the pain they went through). Needless to say they knew us quite well at LeBonheur Childrens Hospital. :grouphug: to you and yours and to the doctors taking care of our children.

[bgsnmky]

Gamomof2 - I think you are the one that keeps the webpage for the below where we have the roster for the cruise.

I LOVE this and the deck pages where everyone is. Sure makes it easy. I was wanting to print them off so I know where the Disboarders are. I was just cutting and pasting in word, but thought I would ask if you already have them in word or some easy way to print them.

Actually it is WDWLVR ( Mary ) and Mark keeping the roster.

I don't think you have to worry about printing it out since Linda is doing mini dis navigators.

[krdisneybound]

better call me the day before - :lmao: - I might forget you -

believe that and I'll sell you 20 acres in the Everglades !!!!

Well, I booked another cruise for November 15th. Just could not help myself. I am thinking about taking Kaitlyn (4 YO) with me. I am trying to talk myself into.

[tiggerguy2000]

good morning cruisers

On the eve of our Member Cruise, I am keeping so very busy.

just want to tell you some information on my 1 YO g/baby, Abby.

Here is a pic of her the day of her b/day party - 10 days ago.


http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b133/disney_gems33/ABBY1STBDAYSEPT2007LINDAHERE001.jpg


I took her to the Dr. yesterday 'cause DD had to be in Homestead. She was giving a Seminar for Verizon. Didn't realize the Dr visit was going to be so very emotional.

Little Abby has a very large red spot around her right breast with a lump beneath the skin. I took her to have it looked at.

As soon as the Dr. saw it he said "oh, we have a very bad problem".

She has Acute Mastitis in the right breast. He drew a black round circle around it and said that if the redness touched the black ring, she would have to be hospitalized NOW.

He gave her a shot of antibotics and a script that I got filled for Karen.

We have an apptm on Friday am at 9:15 and it is more probable than not that they will put her in and either do surgery and/or very strong antibotics.

DD is totally a basket case now and I broke down horribly and could not call her until I calmed down.

We'll see what happens in the next 246 hours. We need prayers and pixie dust.

I googled "infant mastitis" and I didn't like what I read.

Life just is not fair !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:scared: :mad:

Little ones just don't understand it all and why they don't feel good

Anyways, back to our regularly scheduled cruise

I hope everything goes well.Children should not have problems other then where is mommy

Hi Mary,
I believe that you are keeping a list of the Dizboards Members who will be on the DVC cruise and pictures. Is there a way to for us to acces that, so I can connect names to faces, since I am new?

23 days and counting, I cannot wait to leave!

Thanks,
Pauline

[krdisneybound]

too funny!!!!

Thanks so much, you two.

Looking forward to seeing you again

Stacey - Cheryl is correct I'm the one keeping up the web page (with Mark of course). Right now the deck plans are all done in Front Page for web hosting. Linda and I have been in contact and I'm going to send her my spreadsheet but if she wants to use the deck plans I'll be happy to send those to her as well. I've used the deck plans when I've done other mini navigators but I'm not sure what she has planned for this one.

[krdisneybound]

Thank you, Mary

I'm off for the morning to go get Little Abby and take her to get better or at least try and get her to feel better

Hope everyone has a good day

[jaykay]

I am starting to panic! This is our first cruise ever and I want to make sure we are totally prepared. I just read another post about Pirate Night. People were complaining because they have late seating and they missed some of the pirate show. We have late seating. My boys (7 and 3) will be so disappointed if we miss part of the show! Is this something I should be worried about? I hear that the dinner that night is really special so I don't want to miss the dining room either! Are we going to miss out on any other shows because we chose late seating?

[acourtwdw]

Good Morning everyone. Running errands today. Looking for special surprises for our DIS friends.

Kay- I hope you grand daughter is feeling better.

[JOANNEL]

Kay, good luck and let us know what happens.

Jaykay, don't worry. We had late last year. Just don't sit around talking. You won't get a seat, but we had no trouble standing and watching.

[jemiaule]

.

[JOANNEL]

jemiaule.

You do live in the prettiest part of the county. I love San Francisco. My sisiter lives north of Sacramento, so we do get out there. Clam chowder in a bread bowl is my favorite!!!!!!

[jemiaule]

.

[acourtwdw]

Ooooooooh, now you are making me hungry! Only problem is I am on a diet until the cruise.

Note the UNTIL part of that sentence. :rotfl: :rotfl:

I am now thinking of sour dough bread. YUMMO

FYI - all calories consumed while on vacation do not count. :cool1:

[JOANNEL]

Aren't we all.........I am so tired of lettuce.

[krdisneybound]

Kay, good luck and let us know what happens.
.


Well, it looks like Little Abby is doing pretty good right now.

She has a very red bottom from the medicine and upset tummy, but we are taking care of that. She is eating lots of Yogurt and rice and bananas.

If after taking the medicine for 10 full days and if there is still a little/or any "bump" where the infection was, she will have to have minor surgery (what is so minor about a 1 YO being operated on ???? :confused3 :confused3 ) to open it up and drain it out.

She'll go back to daycare next week and I'll go at Noon each day and give her the medicine, as the daycare is not allowed to give medicine. I'll be happy to do that.

But looking at the whole picture, she is good right now.

Thanks to everyone for your good vibes and pixie dust her way.

[krdisneybound]

I feel so good about Little Abby getting better, I booked another cruise for Nov. 15th and I'll be taking my 4 YO g/baby with me on that one.

I think I am a glutten for punishment. ;)

[JOANNEL]

That is great news, but we will still keep her in our prayers.........

[dopey67]

Just dropping in to say hello glad to hear about Abby doing good. I'm sure this has been asked before but are dinner dressy can my son wear jeans?

[tigger1bounce]

Kay-

What wonderful news aboutyour grandbaby!!:goodvibes We will still keep her in our prayers.

Mari

[WDWLVR]

Good news on Abby getting better.

Just a reminder for everyone that tonight is cruise chat! click here to enter chat (http://host50.123flashchat.com/disboards/) Chat starts in the main lobby at 9 pm Eastern.

[acourtwdw]

Kay,

I am glad the baby is doing better.

[WDWLVR]

It was fun seeing so many member cruisers in chat tonight. Hope you all had as good a time as I did.

[JOANNEL]

That was fun, but hard to keep up.

We did all the yard work tonight so I can float all day tomorrow!!!!!

Have a great week end

[tinytink]

Kay,

I am glad the baby is doing better.
Ditto, I am very glad to hear Baby Abby is doing better. We've got our International festival today so I've got to get to bed. I am so ready for it to be over and actually get to sleep in and enjoy myself on the weekends. I've been sleep deprived for about a month now. I hope everybody has a good weekend.

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

Joanne - you are right chat is kind of hard to keep up with. If the regular hosts were there I would have suggested a move to another room where it just would have been us. We've done that with other cruise groups. Easier to keep up when there are less people and all talking about the same cruise. However those lucky ladies are on a Celebrity cruise ship heading to Hawaii for a 14 day round trip cruise. They don't get back until right before we leave so I've been hosting the chats for them.












UTOP - PDFG and all who need it.

[WDWLVR]

I think it was Joanne in chat last night who asked what they did different on the member cruises. Since we have so many new member cruises and some first time cruisers I thought it might be fun to bring back some memories from our prior member cruises. If you read our trip reports on the web page these will all look familiar to you but not sure how many have done that.

Here we go starting with 2003!

I enjoyed the chat last night too. The pictures look great. Maybe we should set up some chat some night for the DVC cruise in one of the chat rooms soon. Just a thought.

That would be fun Dave. Anyone have any ideas on days/times that would work best. The only times I couldn't do would be the regular Cruise and DVC chats. Cruise - Fridays at 9pm Eastern and DVC - Sundays at 9pm Eastern. Would a Saturday night or Saturday or Sunday late afternoon/early evening work?

There is a special room for cruise groups so we shouldn't be bothered by others.

[acourtwdw]

Mary,

I loved those pictures.

[WDWLVR]

Last call for buttons!

We are closing off the list tomorrow. If you have been lurking and haven't sent in your information for DIS buttons you need to do it today. Once the buttons are made we won't be making any more.

[CrazyBoutDisney]

Thanx for posting those wonderful pix, Mary!! I can't wait to actually see the ship and experience it all for myself--I've wanted to go on a cruise for soooo long! I am so glad we chose the DVC cruise for our first sea adventure.

I would love a chat set up for a Saturday or Sunday evening--I don't allow anything to interfere with my SciFi Fridays, I'm afraid :blush:

Kay, Im so glad to hear Abby is doing better!! Will continue to keep the prayer line open.

[JOANNEL]

Mary those pictures are great. Now I am getting more excited. Will we get Castaway Club gifts also? The extra touches look really nice.

Either late Saturday or Sunday afternoon would be fine with me. We are Saturday night church goers to we don't get home until after 8. Next 's Saturday is out for me though. It's parents week end at FSU.

[krdisneybound]

As of two weeks ago, the CC gift is still the blue and white bag with two flags, two drinking cups and straws, memo pad, ship magnet, red and white mesh bags and two wrist bands, one red and one blue.

maybe they will change it for the member cruise.

some of us have so many of these that it would be nice to change. But if not for the new cruisers, that is all right also.

That's the same stuff we got last year less the flags. I really liked the beach towels.

[krdisneybound]

thanks for all the well wishes and thoughts for Little Abby.

She slept 13 and 1/4 hours last night. Her little body must have been really worn out.

BTW - I am taking her and DD on a 4 night on the Wonder on Dec. 9th. We have Cat. 3 and I am sure that will make her feel much better. :thumbsup2

[krdisneybound]

guess they had some more flags ordered - ha ha

[JOANNEL]

What a good Grandma!!!!

[krdisneybound]

rain rain go away - come again another day :rolleyes:

[JOANNEL]

Are you getting bad weather? I has been beautiful today, not a cloud in the sky.:banana:

[krdisneybound]

Are you getting bad weather? I has been beautiful today, not a cloud in the sky.:banana:

yep, lots of rain but no big deal - makes me stay inside and "try" to do nothing.

Had many, many auctions ending on e-bay and I need to work with all that.

With what I have cleared, I can book another cruise. :cool1:

But I'm not going to do that for a while now.

[acourtwdw2]

Mary- I love the pictures they make me want to leave tomorrow.

Kay- I'm glad that your gd is better. You are a great grandma. I loved spending time with my grandma and i'm sure they will remember it for ever.

Have a great Saturday. Off to walk the park.

Amanda

[wispy204]

Mary- I agree, seeing those pictures has gotten me to want to pack my bags tonight!!!! :cool1:

We cannot wait to meet everyone at the Beach Club on Sat. Will it still be at 3pm?

I was showing Alexander the pictures and he seems very excited to go. This will be our 4th DC but first with DVC. I can't wait to take him to Port Canaveral!!
I've got a quick question....

Alexander is going to be 3 on October 17. He has started Preschool and has a different schedule now than he did when we booked. He is going to bed at 8:30-9pm on most nights. Do you think there will be a problem switching to the early seating? I want to keep everyone sane....

Thanks!!

Nicole

[krdisneybound]

Nicole:

to change your dining, you should try and change your time immediately when you get onboard. The sooner you get there, the more chances you have at getting it changed.

Since this is a special cruise, it might be a little hard to do.

But I sure would give it a try

[trishy]

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

We need a vacation NOW - we just cannot wait another minute!!! Today I spent 3 hours in the ER because my daughter, Aly (her new name - used to be Alexis), injured her right leg during a soccer game today. She had to be carried off the field. Thankfully, no broken bones - just a really bad sprain. Unfortunately, she's on crutches and has a lower leg brace. Doc says she'll be this way for at least a week and half. We leave in 13 days - wish us luck. Sad thing is, 2 years ago this happened, during a soccer game, and she ended up spending a lot of time in a wheelchair at WDW. Better believe I've been making fun of her all evening.

Looking forward to some more info from the DVC cruise site...

I'll have to take a look at those pictures from Mary that everybody has been talking about.

Hope everybody is having a great, and injury-free, weekend.
;)

[WDWLVR]

Good morning Member Cruisers!
http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/data/500/36347SS2007.gif
We sail in 3 weeks!

[WDWLVR]

Glad everyone enjoyed the photos. I know I enjoyed looking back at the great memories we had and looking forward to the great memories we'll make on this cruise.

can't believe we are only 3 weeks away from sailing! I went through our toiletry bags yesterday making sure we had everything. Some (like the daily stuff - shampoo, deoderant, toothpaste, etc.) need to be in our road bag while others like sunscreen, and the "what-ifs" can be in the luggage we most likely won't open until we get on the cruise. With that set I'm going to bring our rolling rack up to the dining room and start setting out clothes for the trip. Again with two packing styles in mind. One piece of luggage just for the road trip and then two more for the cruise.

[krdisneybound]

Oh yes - the pics are great to see. All of mine are on my screen saver on my computer and I see them each day.

Each one brings back memories.

When the ones with my DH pops up, I remember those very special like.

Besides the Panama Canal cruise, he loved the Member Cruise very much.

He'd be happy to know that I am going on this one with a friend.

Enough of that and back to regular scheduled programming !!!!!!

Less than three weeks to go - sounds wonderful to me.


Joannel - let me know what you found out

[acourtwdw]

WOW only 3 weeks left!!! My time has certainly flown by. Can't wait.

[acourtwdw]

Does anyone have the Navigators from last year's cruise that they can post (or are they already posted?)

Thanks

[JOANNEL]

Morning all,

I hit up Walmart this am. I have had success...... I have found the goodie I am going to put in every ones' FE. I hope no one else has gotten the same thing. I spent a lot of time wandering Wal mart at 7:20 am. Not very crowded on a Sunday morning. It is beautiful out. 75 and no humidity.....yippeeee fall is here.

Only 20 more days.Two more Sundays and it's us.!!!!!!!!


Have agreat Sunday.

[WDWLVR]

Does anyone have the Navigators from last year's cruise that they can post (or are they already posted?)

Thanks

Not posted anywhere that I know of. We didn't bother posting them to the DIS as they are for a unique cruise.

We have them but doubt we can get them all scanned an up anytime soon. Mark (who does the scanning) has been working some long hours and today is doing over the car (oil change, check breaks, clean, wax) for the road trip.

If there is something specific you are looking for I could look it up for you.

[JOANNEL]

I doubt there will be much time for exercise, but did they offer any classes other than spinning?

What time do the activities start on the sea day?

Thanks Mary
