Thanks for the offer Linda. I do have a couple of scrapbooking shops that are local, but there not as good value as Hobbycraft. Hobbycraft also stock Flower Arranging supplies...my other obsession.
Heather

I also take advantage of any trip to the US and stock up when I'm there. I have already found a shop in Alaska when where there in May. Just need to find something in California now. But keep it quiet as Rick will go mad.

[.:)Tinker_Belle(:.]

sorry,did i nick it?....:rotfl2:

You got post 3000

[cntkg1]

sorry,did i nick it?....:rotfl2:

Good job Chris! Last one to post on page 200 and you made post #3000!! :cool1:

batten down the hatches!! they are calling for 10 to 15 inches of snow today and another 6 to 10 tomorrow in ne ohio. blizzard warnings everywhere.


Easy does it Mike and Robin. I hope you are all stocked up on good food, good alcohol and of course, good chocolate. We've been getting snow all day today too but not as much as Ohio. :banana:

[cntkg1]

Is Mr Brenda home yet???:drive:

[oybolshoi]

Is Mr Brenda home yet???:drive:

:lmao: :lmao:


Yeah, thanks for asking everyone - he did finally make it home. Had to drive backwards down an entrance ramp to get off the highway and killed time with a work buddy who was stuck in the truck in front of him on the highway.

Just goofy! It's still snowing here.

Hope you guys in Ohio are ready for some bigtime snow - keep warm!

As far as I know only guests staying in Concierge level rooms on DCL can order from Palo. That means Chris is everyone's new best friend! ;)

[oybolshoi]

Snowbump!

We slid down to the 2nd page... :scared1:

[JLDSMD]

O.K. I hate the search function on the DIS.

I am trying to locate when we talked about Trip Insurance on our DIS meet. When you put in "insurance" in the search this thread screen, it comes back nothing. That is just F'd up. I know for a fact we talked about this and the deal the UKers could get for the full year.

What I'm trying to find out is the name of an American company that offered the same type of insurance. I know someone mentioned it. It would be a policy that would cover all my travels for an entire year.

Anyhow, if anyone remembers the name of the company or when we were talking about it (maybe one of our UKers knows by when they purchased a policy), I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

[Poohbush]

Hi! We're very icy here tonight. I hate ice. Closed the office early, and will probably go in late tomorrow.

I think I read somewhere that only cats 1-2 can order Palo for room service. :confused: We were booked in a cat 3 at one time. We've since moved. :cool2:

Nancy, hope you feel better soon. Brenda, glad Jason got home safe & sound. Paige, good luck with DH's promotion.

OK, all you "nudie" sleepers! My goodness, quite an eye opener! :eek: Security might seem some interesting articles of clothing, but no pajamas for this bunch! :rotfl2:

Cass, good for you for being the first one here to book a shore excursion. Wow! That's some planning! Sounds like fun! We're going to wait til the 105 day mark. But we'll probably book that Butterfly one in Key West. I think that was you who mentioned that one a few pages ago.

Does anyone here watch NCIS? We love it! Just know that Tony's girlfriend is going to get bumped off any day now. The writing is on the wall! :teacher:

Well, it's getting late! Jeff, I'm really bummed that your percentage to stay is that low. Keep talking to Suz!

Goodnight!

[Timon]

but in baby Kira case she is adorable full stop,a beautiful little thing who could be eaten in one mouth full with or without sugar.....

:goodvibes I tend to agree with you! :rolleyes: Sometimes I just wanna cover her in chocolate and eat her all up!! :love:

Poohbush, actually it's my second excursion booked so far! :woohoo: I booked the Dolphin Encounter at Chankanaab in January! :rolleyes: The only one left now is the parasailing on Castaway Cay but I can't book that until 90 days out.

So, I am finally off my prednisone (steroids) and saw my hematologist today. My platelets are good but I gained over 10 lbs on the darn drug. Now I have 30 freakin' pounds to lose!! :headache: :sad2: The good news is that Kira is sleeping well in her crib and will be taking regular naps so I have time now to work out every day! And when it gets nicer out, I can even go for walks! This snow thing sucks!!

Brenda, glad Jason is home soon! Get workin' on that trippie ok?? I need some good Disney entertainment! :woohoo:

Nancy, I hope you are feeling better soon! :sick: It's tough to be sick and even tougher when you are kicked out of your own bed!! Dust stuff coming your way! pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust:

Heather, :yay: Shout out to a fellow scrapper! I haven't scrapped since my daughter was born, and boy do I have a lot of photos to scrap now!!! Did you ever see my Digital DCL Scrapbook that I posted on the DCL forum?? If not, you can check it out here:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1201849&referrerid=&highlight=scrapbook

I need to get all caught on my scrapping this year or I will be so far behind I may even give up! :sad1:

I agree with Jeff, this is a great group to cruise with and I can't wait to meet everyone in person! It's gonna be weird cus we know each other quite well and yet have never been face to face. I hope it's not like my last cruise, I chatted with lots of DISers online beforehand but when we met face to face, a lot of people were too shy to even talk to us!! :sad1:

Note to fellow cruisers....if you see us, don't be shy!!! Come and chat with us...we don't bite....hard. :rolleyes: We are Canadians, so we HAVE to be friendly eh????!!!!! :upsidedow

[Lindy Loo]

Oh Cass, thats so true with us too. IF you do see us on the boat or anytwhere else, please shout out to us. A couple of times, we truely didnt see other Dissers, I would hate the to think we were ignoring them. ( It was our first cruise so we were always over whelemed by what was happening) a super lady called Belinda would always come over and say Hi.We would discuss what we had done for the the day etc. Though Belinda wasnt on our table ( wish she had been, but our table was already so large) In fact if we could we would have had a table for about 25! We loved Jen Mike Kyle and Nicole too.

Pooh bush whats NCIS? is it an American TV show?
We get Prision break, Lost, 24.

Jeff do you want companies that do annual multi trip insurance?
We are with Atlas direct, but will look around for a good deal in May, when this one runs out. I THINK Karen got a good deal at the Post office? Ellis has an allergy, so her costs could be alot higher with some companies. Who ever she got, I know after looking she got a great deal. Sure Heather mentioned something too? I had better note the repies down, or i'll be asking in May !

[Lindy Loo]

bump !!!!

Happy Valentines day everyone !!!!

:love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

Sorry Jeff, No information given out to Konked Kruisers who are planning on bailing on us!! Just Kidding!!:lmao:

I actually had that info on Monday but tossed it out in a bucket loaded with used Kleenex. I do like you, but sorry, not enough to dig through that bucket!!::scared1:

We just went through AAA but it is only for this trip.

[cntkg1]

Looks more and more like DD (Kristin) and her DBF (Jesse) will be going on this cruise with us. I got a quote for her from Dreams for a Cat 11. It is just under $2000.00. But add to that the flight, passports, tips, excursions, blah blah blah...it'll be considerably higher.

We had our taxes done last weekend and she is getting a nice chunk of change back from Uncle Sam. I'm thinking since today is Valentines Day, she will make her pitch to Jesse today. :love:

Keep your fingers crossed! :thumbsup2

Now, this probably means that DS (Tony) and his Fiance' (Stacy) will also want to go. :banana:

I'm just loving it that my kids still want to go on vacations with us. It does also mean that it gets more expensive for us because now we have to put the dog in a kennel for 10 days. Poor Pooch!! I don't know a soul who would watch our guy for 10 days. He'll be almost 2 1/2 by October but is still a real handful. :sad2:

OK..I guess if I feel well enough to go to work (yuck), I can hop on that bike for a bit.


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to all!!

Hey, I might know of a SPH room they could have. How much more is a Cat 10 than a Cat 11?

[Karen Mouse]

Karen,

I've been meaning to change my avatar.........I kept forgetting! Now it may be a little easier to see our posts at a glance. That is, if I haven't chosen another one that someone else has!:rotfl:

I think we both have great taste!:)

How wierd! - I was going to change mine too!:rotfl: I like your new one - I may swap to that one now;) - only kidding:goodvibes

I'm looking for the one that will cover the whole year.

If Karen remembers when she purchased it, I probably could find the posts regarding it. Someone posted the name of a company in the US that had such a policy.

But to go through 200 pages of posts when you can't do a decent search is like finding a needle in a haystack. :sad2:

Hi folks...just catching up on the last few pages - why do you always talk so much when I'm not online:confused3 :rotfl:

The insurance co we used was direct-travel.co.uk, another good and cheap option is asda - (walmart may have a similar one). Just google seach under "annual insurance" - you should find several to choose from. It also depends on howe long your trips are for. Ours allows us 30 days or less vacation at one time and covers worldwide and any pre-existing illness if no hospitalisation within the last 3 years - pretty standard terms that most companies use.

Happy valentines day everyone:love: ....well.....the postman didnt bring me any cards:sad1: , but my son did make me a lovely one:goodvibes . Hubby forgot to buy one so used the spare card I had bought - great - I now buy my own cards:sad2: .

Karen,

Thanks. I'll try a google search again, but last time it didn't get me what I wanted. Do you remember when you purchased your policy? That would at least give me an approximate date to look for.

[cntkg1]

OK..I guess if I feel well enough to go to work (yuck),




Forget that idea. I made it at work for 2 hours and now on top of this cold I have, I've got the "Bubble Guts"!! One more sick day for me.....:sick:

Nancy,

Hope you feel better soon.

I have to laugh because my Dad would always say "Bubble Guts". Must be an older generation thing. :lmao:

[Lindy Loo]

:) Nancy how cool that your Dd and her Boyfriend may come on the cruise. I would love to meet here, but not have my picture with her, as shes far too pretty! :sad2: :rotfl2:
Hope you feel better soon, i love that phrase "bubble guts" :rotfl:

Jeff I will try and have a search for you tonight.I agree the search on the thread is worse than useless! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Karen, I got a card and flowers, but Elouise got 5 cards, yes 5!!!:confused3 1 from her dad, *** he didnt wnat her feeling left out, and then 3 from boys in her school class and 1 from a boy from kick boxing! Plus a shortbread love heart and a love heart key ring. Im feeling very jelous ! Shes now "deciding" which of the 3 boys from school can dance with her onFri at the school disco !!!!!! oh to be 4 yrs old.:)

[Lindy Loo]

For Waynes pressie I did something soooo cool. Our friends get married in Jamacia in 2 weeks ( stag do and hen party this Sat)... so LOTS of crazy stories to come, no doubt!

We were showing them our 8 yrs old video of the wedding and hotel ( Sandals) which is were they are going. It looked quite dated, the VHS tape and box etc. Anyway I had it digitally enhanced, and all our original photos scanned and put in extra as a picture slide veture. I choose our song "Lifted" by the lighthouse family, to play over the photo slide. (Wayne has forever you and me, engraved in his ring)
The guy put some of my best pictures on the DVD and the case. It looks very professional.

I gave it to Wayne last night and we sat and drank so Asti ( I dont like champagne)..... no gags about me being "cheap" Mr Chris!
and cried our eyes out. It was so wonderfully clear and having our photos on the DVD too, it makes it so much easier to have it all in one place.

Im hinting for mothers Day I would like an hours DVD of Elouise from baby to now. We have stacks of Hi8 tapes or what ever, as well as 1000s of pictures, we rarely dig out. I might even get a holiday one done too.
Guess we have 12 hours of Florida tape to squeeze into 1 hour. :headache: :headache: :eek: :eek:


Elouise saw some of the wedding DVD and wanted to know where she was !!!:rotfl2:

Hey, we were talking the other day about the small group we have and the number of posts we put up. I just checked, we are the 22nd thread with the most posts and we don't put up much "fluff" (except for a few people who shall remain anonymous that hogged a whole page to themselves).

If you look at the cruises that have already happened (17 for sure - can't tell on about 3 of them without going into the thread) we move to the top 5 of upcoming cruises.

Way to go people. :thumbsup2

[oybolshoi]

feel better soon Nancy!

For Valentines Day I woke my husband from a deep slumber at 7AM so that he could shovel the 6-foot icebergs that the City of OFallon so thoughtfully deposited at the end of our driveway while the neighborhood slept. ;)

Glad that everything is looking good health-wise Cass. Just need to catch up on all that scrapping.

Heather

PS - loved the digi scrapbook

[Lindy Loo]

Jeff did you see the thread TRIP INSURANCE FLIGHT DELAY on the main forum???? Is this any good for you?:confused3 or could you join in and get some answers from others DISSERS?

I would try and post the link, but im being dumb! :guilty:

Oooh la la!!:rolleyes1

feel better soon Nancy!



Brenda, I already feel better. I slept a little this afternoon and it helped. BTW, I heard about a woman being killed in an accident on the interstate yesterday right out side of St Louis. :sad2: Jason must have been sitting in traffic because of that accident.:confused3


How is everyone spending Valentine's Day? I got my "hand-colored" card from Chuck. He never buys a card for me, rather he colors one and writes his own. :love: :cloud9: :love: 27 years later and still a romantic!puckerup:

We will be going out for dinner this weekend for V-day.:hug:

[oybolshoi]

I guess everyone must be romancing it up tonight...this is Jay's night to work late so I'm cozy in the computer room (warmest room in the house!) eating pizza all by my lonesome.

Nancy - Jay was actually stuck yesterday because highway 70 at our exit and all points west was shut down due to snow and ice accumulation. I believe the incident you heard about happened last night on the STL side of the river. Very sad.

Ok, Jeff, or should I say Mr 142! :laughing:

Had a day off today, too much ice to go anywhere. Our power was out for about 3 hours, so that wasn't fun. Sammie would walk into a room, and say "it's dark" everytime! Katie kept telling us we should have paid our bill! What does a 4 year old know about paying bills?

We all exchanged cards, and gave the girls a few Valentine's presents. All in all, a quiet day. :hug:

Cass, I missed when you booked the 1st excursion. You're really planning ahead!

I'm a scrapper too. And like many of you, I haven't done it in ages! I have one book completed, of Katie up to 6 months old! Yikes! :eek: Will I ever catch up? Probably not!

Nancy, still sending some get well wishes your way.

a true sweet heart xxx

[Karen Mouse]

:love: :love: Oh my goodness - that Kira picture is just too darned cute:love: :love:

It actually looks like she's blowing a kiss!:cutie:



I booked our insurance a couple of weeks ago but I think I told you all about it way back in October - yeah! - it takes me THAT LONG to do anything:rotfl:

Have you checked out walmart? They were the 2nd cheapest and good cover for us.


I take it all back about Neil and valentines.....he came home with a huge bunch of white lilies (my favourite) and chocs, and had organised mom to "Ellis-sit" so he could take me out and cooked me brekkie this morning:love: - he's back in my good books;) ---wonder what he's after:rolleyes1


I agree with you all about making sure we meet on the cruise. I am a bit shy in person if I have to approach someone (although once I've met you you wont be able to shut me up!:rotfl: )


Perhaps we could have a mini meet before the cruise? We are there for a week before, so we could always meet up for an evening meal or drinks somewhere - Bahama Breeze is nice - we could hog the whole balcony outside!:confused3 If we pick a date early enough we could all work our itinaries around it. Anyone up for it? Either that or we could do the wishes or illuminations cruise together. I think the boat holds about 12 and its about $250 for the boat. Just a suggestion:confused3 I'm up for anything (within reason;) )

[Karen Mouse]

ooooooh! - just did a search under "multi insurance and I might have found the thread you were on about. No idea how to link to it :rolleyes: but just search multi insurance and its there:yay: - hope it helps.

[cntkg1]

I agree that we have to have some kind of DISmeet also. Anyone who is playing tag will have to get their taglist and their magnets to start the game.

On our last cruise we had a DISmeet on Sunday aboard the ship. I realize that this time around we will be in Key West instead on Sunday. A DISmeet on Saturday after the sailaway party and before early dining somehwere on the ship??

Some Konked Kruisers are arriving earlier the week of the cruise but I believe some may not arrive until Saturday or late on Friday.

We also had a follow up DISmeet on Thursday of the cruise.

One of our DISers also had a great idea on how to identify each other in the terminal on embarkation day. We all wore Mardi Gras beads to identify ourselves. It was rather fun running into people before even boarding the ship. A few of us had a mini DISmeet in the terminal!! I believe there were about 15 of us.

We definitely have to come up with something. If we all put our collective heads together, we'll come up with something.

[Lindy Loo]

In Oct, out table mates MJ, Sue, Allie and Janet, recognised Elouise from the photos i had put on our cruise thread, and that was before we even got to the secuirty checks! :thumbsup2 Wayne was parking the car, and they were sweet enough to say Hi and help direct me. !:)

Alot of us on the thread wore a small green ribbon tied on hand bags or in hair etc. This was great fun and we had a big group of us nattering around the sofa chairs in no time. :chat: :chat: There was a great benefit to this, as we queued for each other in the character lines and took pictures of each other too. This was a major help when Elouise decided she couldnt wait for the toilet just 4 off getting to Mickey!

We had a planned meet at 3pm by the Mickey pool which was wonderful, as the kids could go in the pool and play ( great if they are a bit shy, gives them something in common) and the adults meeted each other and exchanged small gifts. ( Kind of Distagging but in one big go ! )

We bumped into each other alot of the time and it really really made our cruise. They were an amzingly friendly happy and chatty bunch of people,and I thank them for all their advice and support they gave us prior and during the cruise. :grouphug:

count us in for a meet ........... wearing what ever.... within reason!;)

[Lindy Loo]

Im celebrating.............. WE ARE ON THE WAITLIST FOR THE LIBERTY and the FREEDOM for MAY 08.

yippee.............:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[disgrits]

Cass, your baby looks just like you. I think you should post a pic of her once a month since babies change so much in the first year. She won't change that dramatically again until puberty, and believe me, the baby-look change is a lot more fun to watch than the "young woman" change!:rotfl2: Anyway, she is absolutely adorable!

As for a DisMeet, we are up for anything as well. We are arriving late on Friday, so I guess we'll have to catch up to everyone on Saturday.

Lindy, congrats on your May 08 trip. That sounds so tempting. We are planning 2 weeks at WDW in June 08. It'll be our first time in a DVC and we can't wait! But I have to say that the Freedom and Liberty sound great! We want to take our kids on a cruise when my DD graduates high school (2011), so that might be our time to skip a DCL cruise and go on the Freedom or Liberty since the kids will be older.

Ok, after seeing Cass' pic of beautiful Baby Kira, I feel the need to post......
not a beautiful baby, but a beautiful view from my "happy place." Have a great day, y'all.

[Darkrobe]

Actually Disgrits, Cass takes weekly photos of her and she'll probably do a slide show of it all after 52 weeks. Maybe if you bug her enough, she might do a 2nd slideshow on her website so can see how much she's changed in the last 12 weeks. Cass does a wonderful job, she puts the week# and everything into the photo so you can really see the changes.
Kira will be 12 weeks tomorrow btw, time sure flies!
Nice pic btw, thanks for sharing :)

Here's one of my favourite DCL pics, sunset isn't bad either.

Ok, Cass, you heard it.....now get to it!:rotfl2: :rotfl2: We're waiting....:surfweb:

Darkrobe, you are so right...time flies! Y'all are getting to the stage that is my favorite.....5 months through 9 months. They are so much fun and not yet mobile! Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. BTW, you and my DH share the same name-Rob. I am sure there will be no confusion on the cruise though, because when I say his name,I usually tack on a little sarcasm.:lmao: :lmao:

What a good idea - 3pm, by the Pool or deck 10? How about if we all wear lei's. We'll be ready for Sailaway! This will be easy for us to bring over or buy in Walmart the day we arrive. On our first Disney Cruise we met up with another DIS group and we exchanged postcards and sweeties fom home.

Rick and I don't arrive until Thursday afternoon. We have a complete day already organised for Friday (Segway tour at EPCOT, etc) as it's Dave's birthday, so we won't be able to meet up before hand.

Anyway, just need to get our thinking caps on!
Heather

Ok Heather im being thick what are Lei's?

Please dont laugh, I really dont know.

[oybolshoi]

We can set up a poll in the Yahoo Group to see where everyone would like to have a DISmeet / Tag-Info meet.

What time is the Muster Drill? We want to be careful about trying to get together too close to that or we may not have enough time for everyone to show up.

Personally I'm not a fan of meeting prior to Sailaway - it doesn't leave much time for people who are running late or who may need to make reservations for stuff once they board the ship.

But that's just me...I'm open to suggestions (of which I currently have none - ;) )

Nancy... you want to keep track here on the thread of people's suggestions for places to have a DISmeet? Once we have a fair number of ideas we can create a poll and let everyone vote.

The one with the most votes wins - nice and democratic!

OH! I do have an idea.... Let's have the DISmeet in AFEG's suite!

It rhymes - DISmeet in the suite!
AFEG would be a fabulous host
It would be nice and private and out of the elements just in case the weather is cruddy.

Chris, no pressure! It's OK for you to nip this idea in the bud, especially if you don't want 50+ DISsers traipsing through your stateroom. :goodvibes

[Lindy Loo]

Im happy to meet anywhere, any time.......... like the Martini girl! :rotfl:

[A fat english gent]

Please add your suggestions to this post and we can keep track that way.

[oybolshoi]

nancy, you're a dear! But...no one can add to your post other than you. ;)

I guess I should have been more clear earlier - I don't like meeting prior to Sailaway, but if we are going to do that then we need to cognizant of when the muster drill is so that we aren't too pinched for time.

Personally, I'd rather meet around 5PM - after the sailaway party when people are starting to clear out a bit and head to their cabins.

Although knowing Jay and me, we'll miss the sailway again because of baseball.

We learned about Canada earlier this year and we had to plan a trip through it for a project, finding out that West Edmonton Mall is the largest square footage mall in the world. Have you ever been to it? It sounds awesome.

[Timon]

.:)Tinker_Belle(:., Yes, of course I've been to West Ed (that's what it's known as here) but haven't been in a few years. I went MANY times as a teenager, it's an awesome place, it even has an indoor amusement park with an awesome rollercoaster!! But it's the only good thing about Edmonton :laughing:

The last cruise we had a meet at the Mickey pool at 3pm and that seemed to work out well. It was a little crazy and loud but it worked. I am sure that we will spot each other in the terminal regardless of what we are wearing (please don't make me wear a lime green t-shirt!! :scared1: )

Just flipped my calendar for Friday and I have a note that there is skating on tv this Sunday. 3:00 cst, on ABC.

Or you could just quote it, drop off the leading and trailing quote thingy's (that's the technical term isn't it?) and then add to the post. Just like we did with the list of people going on the cruise. :thumbsup2 See, here it is without the quote.

Not sure if you guys are doing any pre-cruise mini-meets or not, but I see the Cards are in MKE on 4/30-5/2 (not so good weather but we have a dome) and again 8/14-8/16 (excellent weather).

If you guys can convince Brenda and Jay to road trip up for a game, you should do a mini-meet, tailgate party, Brewers-Cards game. :thumbsup2 Just a thought.

I figure it would be here since they are one group and there are four here.

[disgrits]

I was just looking over a recent navigator for the 7 day western.......


Mandatory Boat Drill is at 4pm. Sail Away Party is at 4:30pm. Early dining is at 5:30pm, and the early show is at 6:15pm.

I guess we should try to plan around these events, huh? I know...... maybe we could request to have our own Boat Drill in Palo with a special Dis Dessert Buffet.....with free "drinks of the day" of course!:banana: :banana: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Good morning everyone....Ellis and I are up early baking scones. Yes.... its is 7.30am and they are already out and cooling. Sultana or cheese scones anyone? - actually by the time you get up they'll be in my tummy!

How long is the sailaway party?
It wont give us long but we could make a quick hello before running back to the cabin to see if the suitcases have arrived and getting ready for early sitting. Dont forget I'll get lost trying to find my cabin then I still have to find the dining room later:rotfl: .

Perhaps this is a good time to warn you I have ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE OF DIRECTION! Therefore, if you ever see me wandering the ship with a vague "I think I have passed this bit already" look on my face, please stop and point me in the right direction.:rotfl: I am not kidding, I went to my friends new house a few weekends ago. She gave me the guided tour and a bit later I needed to use the bathroom. I ended up in the back garden almost, then the pantry before finding the lounge again. No...it wasnt a mansion - I'm just useless!

Well... I'm off to eat my scones...good morning everyone:cool1:

[Lindy Loo]

Wow I now feel "educated", thanks:thumbsup2 my new word of the day is Leis..... c an you tell I havente been to Hawai ?:rotfl:

Really I dont mind where we met up as long as we do !!!:goodvibes

Perhaps a quick Hi there, ,etc at 3pm by the pool, hand out Distag stuff etc and then we could meet up on a sea day?

Karen, scones sound good! Yummy!

Im off to be a teaching assistant today. I have been screened, and fortunately my degreee coveres me to work in a school, as long as a treacher is present. Im the "cookery" teacher, which wayne finds VERY funny!. however today in order to get to know the kids on a one to one, Im working with the slowest group of children, with one to one reading.
Im actually quite scared and excited. :confused:

I made £234 on E bay, not bad really. It now looks like Christmas again, with brown paper and tape everywhere, and 20 odd parcels! :scared1:

Im off on Monday to Sussex for the week, to see my Mum, as its school holidays here.

[oybolshoi]

Thanks for the tip Nancy - guess I'll have to warm up the VCR....we're going to the symphony with Jason's parents on Sunday afternoon.

Actually my calendar shows skating on ESPN from 7-10:30 Sunday night...4 Continents recap (I already know the results because I never know if anyone is going to show anything on TV anymore). The more I watch the skating this year the more I miss Michelle Kwan and I marvel at what she was able to accomplish technically and artistically at the same age as the current crop of skaters, who for the most part, leave me cold. There are some very promising junior level skaters out there right now who are actually better artistically than the crop of seniors we currently have (notable exception being Alissa Cizny - I probably spelled her name wrong - she has lovely presentation and spins but seems to have problems with her jumps).

**This concludes Wide World of Sports Figure Skating Edition - we now return you to more tropical topics**


All this talk of DISmeets reminds why I like the Eastern itinerary better - that extra sea day on Sunday somehow makes things a little more relaxed, IMHO.

Hey, what's this Mickey Pool I keep hearing about? I don't think Jason and I have ever been down to that part of the ship. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

This cruise I WILL get to lounge on the chairs, and enjoy the hot tub!

I WILL, I WILL, IWILL !!!:) :)

[A fat english gent]

Lindy loo how did you fair with all them kids?.....

[Lindy Loo]

BUMP............... just off to make some sandwiches for Elouise.

Karen, how were the scones?

[Lindy Loo]

Chris it was fun !!!

There are only 17 in Elouises class, so its not as bad as 30 odd.

Its weird they call me Mrs Noakes, as some are friends kids, so they know me as "Linda".

I helped do some one on one reading, and then we did PE ! well I obviously didnt............. :lmao: :lmao: they did the running around etc, I just stopped them bumping into each other while pretending to be lions, or butterflies or what ever. Yes, to our friends across the pond, this is our "gym" type class... being a butterfly. Cant see this becoming an olypmic sport !:rotfl: But if you do Elouise just might win England Gold !!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Is it rude Chris to sak what you do, in order to go to Turkey? I worked out there for a while along time ago, My Turkish is very rusty now.

[Lindy Loo]

Jeff, any luck with convincing Suz?

[JLDSMD]

You guys should pick Sunday, late morning as you are pulling into Key West.

Unless you book your Palo brunch for that day (not sure if they have it then or not) you should be fine around 11:00 a.m.

The Character Breakfast for the APL rotation will be over by then.

It was pretty nice watching the ship come into port and as I remember, there was plenty of time after the Late Char Bkfst. We had late on that day and I remember going to the room after, using the cell phone to call some relatives, and then still had time to go up to Deck 9 to watch us dock.

[oybolshoi]

AFEG, I will not be distracted - what about the paranoid dwarf??? :lmao:

[Lindy Loo]

Jeff great idea............... thata why we need you and suz on this cruise with us ! voice of experience! :)

[Karen Mouse]

Karen, how were the scones?

Too nice - I have eaten 5 :rolleyes1 :scared1: - I did aqua aerobics though so thats burnt off 1/2 of the butter I spread all over them:rotfl:


Lindy - I am a class asst too! - no job at present but I have the qualifications etc. Its fun - I could control 30 kids in a classroom easier than I can my 1 at home:confused3

Jeff - that sounds like a great idea - I'm up for it - you just have to convince Suz to meet us there too:goodvibes

[Karen Mouse]

AFEG, I will not be distracted - what about the paranoid dwarf??? :lmao:


Yeah - spill the beans Chris - we all want to know:lmao:

[A fat english gent]

AFEG, I will not be distracted - what about the paranoid dwarf??? :lmao:

:rotfl2: Maybe i was a little harsh on the fella but we didn't sleep for two days and all he kept saying was "am a very important man me",yer right like i care.....My job?.....am retired i suppose,i don't have a job.... am a kept man:rotfl2: Hazel works for social services and Jess works for the oops she's as paranoid as the dwarf so you'll after ask her,i get into trouble when i tell anyone...

ps...maybe she should marry the turk:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[oybolshoi]

At last some common sense decision!

No charges to be filed after 'Tigger' complaint

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sarah Lundy | Sentinel Staff Writer
Posted February 15, 2007, 3:28 PM EST Video

Tigger, the Walt Disney World character, is no longer in the cross-hairs of the State Attorney's Office.

No charges will be filed against 31-year-old Michael J. Fedelem, the employee playing Winnie the Pooh's bouncy friend, the State Attorney's Office announced today.

Prosecutors reviewed the complaint that Tigger punched a 14-year-old during a home-video session at Disney-MGM Studios last month.

I kind of like "Mr. I don't think we're going on this cruise, but I like you guys so much that I'll talk to you forever" 's idea for the DISmeet!:lmao:

[oybolshoi]

I actually like that idea best, too. Saturday can be so hectic and people end up not coming just for that reason.

By Sunday everyone has had a chance to settle in a bit and for what it's worth, I think it's easier for people to make it to a meet then.

The other idea would be to go ahead and have a meet on Saturday but schedule a separate get together on Sunday for the people who want to play tag - that way one thing doesn't get in the way of the other.

[disgrits]

We're in for Sunday too! I think that is a really good idea, Mr. I don't think we are cruisin' with y'all, yada, yada, yada....C'mon, Mr. IDTWACWY, pull out all the stops, work on that wife...whatever it takes, chocolate, roses, dinner, bubble bath.....:rotfl:

Morning too... yes wheres the link Brenda please? Wayne is on Stag night tonight and I can have a quick read, while I get ready to go too.

I can pretend to preen myself in the bathroom, but take the laptop in the DIS instead............... does that mean im addicted???

Cass beleive me after use to having 3 hours to get ready to go out, have a drink, relax in bath etc. Mums now get ready in 10 minutes. ! Honestly on the cruise Elouise was bathed hair washed and styled dressed with matching necklace/hairbobble etc. She even pinched mums lip gloss................:cutie: me ....i was rushing around 10 mins before dinner in a wet towel, no make up and trying to get the creases out of my outfit! :scared1:

Still she looked cute for pictures, I kept out of as many as I could !;)

Because they never get it right! We are too polite to say "that looks hideous" so we just pay the fortune, run back to the car hoping no-one sees us and then do it properly ourselves:rolleyes1 Its the colour she gets right - (she covers the grey:scared1: :scared1: ), so I dont mind the blowdrying bit going wrong.:rotfl:

I have 2 more viewings today - 2 and 3pm. God, the house has never been so clean. We'll have been in it 17 years this April. If we are still here I think the house deserves a birthday party:dance3:

[Lindy Loo]

Yep Chris, Karen got it spot on !!!!!

Though I have a hairdresser now who is WONDERFUL, she tells me when shes free and I slot in with her, but its soooo worth it, she has my hair sussed, with what it can and cant or wont do !

Good luck with house viewing today............. it may be a goodbye party in April for your house ! guess after 17 yrs you will be a bit sad to leave?

[jdkdorn]

for people looking for rental rate don't forget to go to Mousesavers.com to get their rate discount codes. There are some good ones for Alamo, budget & Avis. We have to use a car service this time because we have 7 people, 2 of which are teen girls, that means lots of luggage.

Does anyone have a car service preference. I have received a quote of $387 from Happy Limo. This would cover MCO to BCV, BCV to Port, Port to AKV (hopefully) or BCV & Resort to MCO. It seems like a good deal but I am still checking.

Sorry about not posting a lot but I can't seem to find the time lately. My daughter constantly has my laptop to talk on the kid's cruiser thread.

Cheryl,
The girls are planning a dinner meet, we may have to intervene to make sure dates work for all of us, not just the girls. lol They forget sometimes that the whole family may not be available when they are.

Judy

[Poohbush]

Morning!

Just sitting here running virus scans, updates, and spyware checkers on our work computers. Boring! Just a half day on Saturdays, so it's not too bad.

I too think we should meet on Sunday. Not too early in the morning please! Does anyone know the days the Palo brunch will be scheduled for?

Just called in another payment for our cruise. Just 5 more to go, and we'll be paid off! Planning on being paid off the end of June, so when July comes (our 105 day mark) we'll be all ready to book excursins & Palo.

[jdkdorn]

Do we have a list of the floors we are on or the cabin numbers. I know we might not want to post them here but we could on the Yahoo form. It would be nice to know who was near whom. Let me know if we want to do this. As to the meet let me know the preference and I will work it out. We are going into Key West so maybe Saturday or the day at Sea would be best.

Gotta go take the kids to Martial arts class

Yes, it'll be a sad day when I say goodbye to this house:sad1: . Its been a really happy home. We got married from here, bought Ellis home from the hospital to here, it'll be really strange calling somewhere else home.

We've had 4 viewings so far with 2 more planned for next week. One guy has ben back for a 2nd viewing and is talking to his bank re the mortgage on Monda so that sounds promising. The last lot I just showed round wanted me to leave the furniture:lmao: - yeah right! - I'll leave champagne in the fridge and a casserole in the oven for you too! - cheeky s*ds:mad: .

I dont even know why we're moving really:confused3 . We did it on a bit of a whim just to test the market after spotting that nice house and now it seems a bit too real:scared1:

Oooooooooooohhhhhhhh....I feel cold feet coming on:confused:

I'm off to read the trippie now..........byeeeeeeeee

[Karen Mouse]

Just called in another payment for our cruise. Just 5 more to go, and we'll be paid off! Planning on being paid off the end of June, so when July comes (our 105 day mark) we'll be all ready to book excursins & Palo.


Its great paying a bit more off isnt it!:banana: We paid the whole thing last week - it seems real now!:cool1: I still havent worked out when 75 days is for us to ring and book any scraps that you lot and the 90 dayers leave behind!:rotfl:

[Karen Mouse]

Do we have a list of the floors we are on or the cabin numbers. I know we might not want to post them here but we could on the Yahoo form. It would be nice to know who was near whom. Let me know if we want to do this. As to the meet let me know the preference and I will work it out. We are going into Key West so maybe Saturday or the day at Sea would be best.

Gotta go take the kids to Martial arts class

Judy:cool1:

Judy, I think some of the cabin numbers are on Cass' site, but not all. It would be good to have a list and the floor number *** I'll get lost easily delivering my dis goodies to you all!



Anyway, how do you multi quote? I have to answer each one individually *** I dont know how to multi quote:confused3
It does bump up my post count;) but I'm bored of that game now:rolleyes1

[Lindy Loo]

Karen ive just PMed you

[Lindy Loo]

Hi Judy, great to hear from you, glad you are ok, just busy !:banana: :banana:


thanks for the reminder about the saving coupons for car hire, we just got a quote from Avis, for our car for 8 nights before the cruise. it seemed very good, compaired to what we would have paid through a TA in the UK.

Linda x

[Lindy Loo]

Brenda, your TRIP report is amazing !!!!!!

no more dissing here, until its done.... I NEED more ! :goodvibes :lmao:

[jdkdorn]

We received a confirm for the cruise yesterday and I haven't put anything new on it lately. Did the taxes go up. Did anyone else receive a new confirm?

thanks
Judy

Judy:cool1:

Judy, Yes we already have a spot on the Yahoo Site for cabin numbers. Go to "Database", then to "October 20, 2007 cruisers". I noticed you are not listed there yet. Edit the screen and add yourself.

Clear as Mud???:lmao:

[cntkg1]

Tomorrow night we are having Rob's family over for a "Disney Night" :banana:
Since they are all newbies, I gotta get them all prepared for the parks and the cruise...you know what I mean...."Now, make sure you wear comfortable shoes....there's gonna be some walking involved....everyone have their passports?.....prepare yourself to pay $3 for a bottle of coke....if you see chocolate croissants on the cruise, don't eat them, they are horrible (:ssst: more for us!)....if some weirdo that you don't know waves and yells "Hi Timon's family" do not panic, they are probably just DISers, not stalkers....don't follow Rob, he gets lost easily, always follow me....unless I am lost....yada...yada...yada.

:rotfl:

Can I come?? Sounds like fun!!:banana:

Thanks, Nancy. Some day when I have need of a publicist I'm going to hire you! ;)

Does it pay six figures??:lmao:


Does anyone have a car service preference. I have received a quote of $387 from Happy Limo. This would cover MCO to BCV, BCV to Port, Port to AKV (hopefully) or BCV & Resort to MCO. It seems like a good deal but I am still checking.


Judy

How about "Florida Tours". It seems to be a favorite of Brendas too. :yay:

[A fat english gent]

Because they never get it right! We are too polite to say "that looks hideous" so we just pay the fortune, run back to the car hoping no-one sees us and then do it properly ourselves:rolleyes1 Its the colour she gets right - (she covers the grey:scared1: :scared1: ), so I dont mind the blowdrying bit going wrong.:rofl:

I have 2 more viewings today - 2 and 3pm. God, the house has never been so clean. We'll have been in it 17 years this April. If we are still here I think the house deserves a birthday party:dance3:


Ok i understand now....So someone like Dick Turpin was a really a pioneer for hair dressers then?.....:rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl2:

[A fat english gent]

PS..Where can we find this Brenda Rowling Novel?.....And Brenda will you sign my boxer's please as 10 years from now you could be a house hold name best selling author and I'd have YOUR autograph on MY boxer's?......:rotfl2:

[oybolshoi]

Florida Tours charged us about $190 round trip... airport - BCV - cruise terminal - airport back in 2005, but that was just for two adults and luggage for six in a towncar.

We've used them several times, however, and they always provide great service. There is a link to their website on the DIS homepage.

Nancy... six figures... how about this: :confused3 :confused: :eek: :scared1: :eek: :scared1:

Your contract will be negotiable as soon as I make my first fortune. ;)

[oybolshoi]

PS..Where can we find this Brenda Rowling Novel?.....And Brenda will you sign my boxer's please as 10 years from now you could be a house hold name best selling author and I'd have YOUR autograph on MY boxer's?......:rotfl2:


AFEG...you're my other new best friend! It you follow the last link in my signature you'll find the one I'm working on for our October visit (Argle-Bargle will take you to the first page). The dining link for that trip is just above it...I'll warn you - I'm not known for being brief! :lmao:

[disgrits]

Brenda, just read page two of your trippie........it was great! I like trippies with pics. Keep it coming!!:surfweb:

Hope you are all having a great day......

I am...it's my birthday! I am 39 today. My family and I are going to our favorite Italian restaurant tonight after going to mass (I want to sleep late tomorrow morning).....Chicken Parmesan here I come!

Lindy, I told you that today is our "8 month mark", but it is actually on Tuesday, which is also Mardi Gras.....I think a celebration is in order!:banana: :banana: :banana:

Thanks!

How did the house viewing go ?

Judy I love the dates to remember.... cheers!
Chris will want the 105 day marked.... lucky him:)

[oybolshoi]

Hey I just wanted to say thanks for reading the work in progress...I managed to get another section up for Day 2..I'm hoping to finish it tonight but I can't promise anything...had to bring work home and I need to finish it today since we won't be home tomorrow.

[JLDSMD]

Man you guys were a talkative bunch today.

Happy B-Day Paige!! :bday:

O.K., accroding to Judy's post, my drop dead cancellation date is July 21, 2007, 91 days out. Like I need that much time. Guess we should call that the day to accept reality. :sad2:

[oybolshoi]

See what happens when you join the popular cruise threads? You get tagged...that's why Jeff is leaving us all behind. :sad1: :sad1:

Seriously, congrats on being tagged - it's fun! :goodvibes

[Lindy Loo]

Wish I could get tagged !!!!:yay:

Guess I dont say anything "worth while" :sad2:

[Lindy Loo]

Jeffs what the % looking like, on you coming ?????

you KNOW you want to................ go on.... .you know you do !:goodvibes

[Lindy Loo]

Hi there, on another thread there is a lot of talk about "checking the price of your cruise" in case it goes DOWN!!!! and IF it does, how you can re negotiate your price.
question..... where do I find the cruise prices for this cruise? Other than going to Dreams and asking for another quote, but you have to input lots of info etc. I thought there was a site where you wacked in a date etc and the the price pops up.

Any ideas from our experienced cruisers?

Doubt it will go down for us, as we booked on board so got a great deal.

[jdkdorn]

Who was tagged and how do you know if you have been tagged

thanks

Judy I THINk it was Jeff, you can see the "quotes" under their names on the left.... or in my case the LACK of quotes.... thats a tag.... i think. L x

Judy,

whenever you see colored text underneath someone's user name that is a tag. It usually happens when a moderator reads a post you make that he or she thinks is memorable or funny.

[cntkg1]

Paige...Happy Birthday!!!:bday: party:

Jeff, Congrats on your tag!! Kind of fun isn't it??:banana:

Just had the kids watch the Disney Cruise tape that I have from the Travel Channel. Also made them sit through our own home video of the cruise. Our poor daughter gets motion sickness quite easily and for her to sit and watch Chucks video almost put her over the edge. Anyone know where I can send him for videography lessons? He seems to think that you can swing that camera in all directions and expect people to want to watch it. YIKES!! I'm a litte queesy myself. :eek:

We now have all four kids thinking of cruising with us. Told them to decide quickly because the prices for flights and cruising is going up by the minute.

:hourglass

[Timon]

:bday: Paige!!!!! Have a great day!!!!

Linda, you can check on DCL's website. Just choose your cruise and cabin category and see what the price is. If it goes down, email Dreams and they will call DCL and get the new price for you.

[JLDSMD]

Thanks for the congrats on the Tag.

I must have just got it today.

The funny thing is I don't remember saying that. Also, I only got about 3 or 4 mini's, which they aren't even doing anymore over there. Furthermore, the Tag Fairy obviously didn't see post 19,000 on that sight, which in itself is a "Pirate".

The tags are flying left and right over there over the past few days.

[Poohbush]

Happy B'day Paige! :cool1: Chicken parmesian is soooo yummy!

Congrats Jeff on your new tag! :thumbsup2

Judy, thanks for the dates! Jeff did that along time ago, but there's no way I'd find it. I couldn't remember what the exact 105 date mark was, so that helps alot! As we're in one of the suites on deck 8, we can't check prices on the website to see if they've gone down any. I'd have to call direct, and that's sort of a pain! So, I'll just be satisified with what we've got.

We just watched The Wild, and there were alot of Lion King references in it. Lion King is my all time favorite Disney movie! Hakuna Matata!

[oybolshoi]

Just a bump before I finally go to bed.

Sounds like Sunday is going to be our last really cold day and then the weather will start to break - forecasting 40s by the middle of the week. After the last couple of weeks that sounds downright balmy.

Have a good Sunday everyone - I'll be out of circulation. :goodvibes

Lindy - I checked a week or so ago and my lowly cat 11 has gone up around $300. I just went online and got a quote for a cat 11 sailing on our dates and compared our price to the current one:confused3

Dont worry - we'll both be upgraded for free to concierge either side of Chris and keep him awake all night:rotfl:

AFEG, I'm flattered...really. ;)

I'm not sure that I can actually make any money with what I do...based on the lack of response from people who don't "know" me, it looks like I suck. Talk about a tough board. :confused3

Oh well, I usually do that stuff more for Jay and me than anything else.

And yes...after the last few weeks of 0 for low temps and 18 for the high I am totally ready to break out the vacation gear!

Did you guys all hear about the salmonella outbreak in the Peter Pan peanut butter? I can home from work Thursday night and every single jar in my pantry had the recalled product code on it! :scared1:

Now I think I know why I've been feeling so crappy (pardon the expression... :lmao: ).

By the way, AFEG, I'd give you a tag if I had that kind of omniscent power at the DIS - you say something funny every time you post. :thumbsup2

[Karen Mouse]

OH GEEZ! - we've been driving round all morning looking at houses, came home and had a quick lunch then I sent Neil into the loft to start the mamouth task of going through boxes:scared1: (if you saw our loft you'd realize I probably wont see him til April.) Well, he was chucking bags and binliners and boxes down and I was opening them and disgarding or keeping etc. Imagine the sight - boxes everywhere, baby toys and clothes etc everywhere (they'll be on ebay later;) and the doorbell rings. Go down covered in dust only to find a buyer at the door.:scared1: The agent was meant to phone back to let me know if the woman was going to view or not - she didnt:mad: . How embarrassed was I:sad2: The place on a normal day would have been fine - tidy even, but today:scared1:

Then to top it all off Ellis decides he needs the loo right in the middle of me showing her the upstairs:rolleyes:

The best of it all - she wants to come back with her mom to have a second viewing!:lmao: :lmao: My god! - what couldshe have seen previously to think this was ok:confused3

Ok, thats all for now.....back in the boxes I go....

[oybolshoi]

Karen, she's probably coming back because she knows what it's like to actually live in a house rather than a showpiece. Maybe you've got a smart potential buyer on your hands! :goodvibes

I've never understood the marketing of homes that are for sale...should it be clean and well maintained? Yes. Should it look like the people who live there shuffle around with kleenex boxes on their feet and latex gloves on their hands? No.

Good luck with everything! :hug:

"They also have a specialty coffee machine for lattes, capuccinos, etc. Most importantly, the NL lounge is staffed all day with a concierge"

Jeff is their anything we can do (without breaking the law,sorry if that sounds a bit wimpy but am into watching series two of prison break and i play with no man's hankie chief if you know what i mean:rolleyes1 )why not try something like DCL is being bought by the Mexican government to show all future illegal immigrants just what is waiting for them in the USA and this will be your last chance to cruise in the caribbean a board the Magic Before they take over....Must go as 24 is about to start,24? it's another of the bloody crazy American programs Ive now started to watch along with STARGATE,STARGATE ATLANTIS,24,PRISON BREAK...

[disgrits]

I just wanted to thank everyone for the birthday wishes!:thanks:

Rob and I and the kids had a nice dinner followed by a short shopping trip to Target. I found shirts for my boys for formal and semi formal night, and a skirt for DD for pirate night/semi formal night--really cute black eyelet skirt. Eyelet fabric seems to be the new style....Last week we found a really cute white sundress made of eyelet fabric--It makes her think she is in style and grown up and still reminds me of when she was little.:cutie:

Sorry to ramble; I had a little time on my hands before hitting the gym to work off last night's dinner.:scared1:

Brenda, keep that trip report coming, girl!:surfweb:

[cntkg1]

Cass, How did your Cruise Party go last night? We had one too for DD and her DBF. Made them watch every tape we had but I think I went too far when I busted out the flip chart!!:lmao:

I put out bowls of fresh fruit (thank you to Sams Club for having grapes the size of golfballs), raspberries the size of grapes, grape tomatoes double in size. Chuck was wondering if they were the same size as last years kidney stone he passed.:rotfl2: I think the heirs of Sams Club are injecting their fruits and veggies with steroids.

Even with all that healthy stuff to eat to keep their minds completely clear to listen and absorb every word I spoke, I notice Jesse nodding off and Kristin getting comfortable with her head in his lap with a pillow over her face so I couldn't tell if she was sleeping. PUNKS!!! Don't they know how serious this all is??:confused3

DS was supposed to come over today to talk a little more about it but I think his lovely little sis tipped him off and he's nowhere to be found now. :tiptoe:

So Cass, here's a question for you. Did you ever think about renting out your cruise video and cruise pics on your website? Since we are still plagued with "dial up", watching your video and getting passed pictures #18 were impossible. I even left my computer alone all night hoping I'd find all the pictures this morning. Nope...still stuck on #18 and the video won't even start up for me. I suppose when Kristin comes home from her third straight weekend of wedding dress shopping for her future SIL we can all gather around her laptop and enjoy the benefits of high speed internet service and take a close look at your site.:surfweb:

[JLDSMD]

Cass, How did your Cruise Party go last night? We had one too for DD and her DBF. Made them watch every tape we had but I think I went too far when I busted out the flip chart!!:lmao:

O.K., now everyone, remember to bring you laser pointers and when Nancy goes through how to play "tag", just keep shining her all over with the lights. It will be like the chimps on the Monster.com ad (or whatever add it was). :lmao:

You better notify DCL that we will need A/V equipment for your DIS meets. :rotfl2:

[jdkdorn]

Brenda,

I noticed that we are both staying at the BCV's before the cruise. Maybe we'll meet up some evening in the hot tub by the Dunes pool. This is one of my favorite things to do, I put the kids to bed or in front of the TV and go down to the hot tub to relax for a while. ( without constantly hearing someone yell for me)

We are also owners at both BCV & SSR and like them both for different reasons but if going during F & W you have to stay at BCV. We always ask for a Dunes pool view so that I can watch the kids from the balcony with a beer in my hand and a smile on my face. (The smile starts the second I leave MKE and gets bigger every mile closer we get to WDW.

Have a great night everyone

Judy:wizard:

[oybolshoi]

Hi Judy! We love BVC for the F&W Festival - there's no better place to stay in our book! You pick the night and we'll pick up a good bottle of wine or something and have a mini-meet at the hot tub. :thumbsup2

I was wondering if any of you have stayed at the port the night before the cruise. Any suggestions? We are driving in on the Friday night. I would like to leave my car at the hotel, so free parking/shuttle service is a plus. If not, have you ever taken a cab, and how much was it?

Our original plan was to stay in Jacksonville at the base, then head out on Sturday morning, but I am afraid of being delayed because of a traffic accident on I-95.....

[A fat english gent]

Morning People....:)

[A fat english gent]

One does hope my fellow UK Diss friends are all up and atem this Morning and not taking advantage of their children being out of school this week to have a sly lie in....:rolleyes1

ps...Thier are only 242 days left before we take up residence aboard Mick's floating play ground,with so much to do,so little time to do it.....:rotfl2: :rofl: :rotfl2:

PPS...Did Wayne return home?,has Lindy loo discovered the fresh "Bad girl was here" tattooed across his buttocksss (yes forest gump is one of my all time best films)or has someone done something like what we did back 1991 when we had a young man in our care for his stag do on the island of cyprus,firstly we dressed the boy as adolf Hitler then we went on to fill the lad up to the neck in local fizz before decided how nice it would be if we could find the poor chap a bed for the night.....Some 10 hours later we finally managed to get him to answer his mobile "hello,hello where the £$%^&* £$%^& am i"..your in Famagusta..."don't be daft i can't be that's in southern Cyprus were in the north"....we are your not.....:scared1: he spent the next 14 hours hiding in a old seller before creeping back across no man's land still dressed as adolf Hitler....:rolleyes1

[Lindy Loo]

Oh Chris you are sooo spot on!! I have had a sneaky lay in... we are now rushing around packing up to go to my Mums in Brighton, Sussex till Fri, just me and Elouise. Dad has to work ! ;)

Wayne returned safe and sound, but worse for wear at 5am.,... apparantly, I was obviouosly in the land of nod! He looked very rough all day sun according to Elouise, and he had to take her to a birthday party then kick boxing, where the instructor got him to "help out" and hold the mat, for the kids to kick. Great with a hangover ! No outragous stories, or not that I have been told. I didnt check his bum for tatoo! :rotfl:

Well I wont be on line now till Fri, so bye everyone have a great week, Keep us on page ONE !!

xxxxxx

PS Racel Elouise just posted on the kids thread, took about 30 mins to type 2 lines !!!:rotfl2:

[cntkg1]

Linda, have a great getaway with your DD and mom (mum).:cutie:

Chris, Was the Turkish Dwarf the same guy as your "Adolf Hitler"??? :rotfl:

Jeff, I notified DCL that there are a few passengers who may be trying to smuggle some laser pointers onto the ship. I was assured that anyone caught with one will be gagged and bound and made to watch the rest of us eating fresh shrimp. I also mentioned your name as the "godfather of the pointers" and DCL assured me once again that you are now on their black list for future cruises. :thumbsup2

Karen, how's the house selling going? Don't listen to Chris about the buns in the oven. It's too close to cruising time and I believe there is a ban of pregnant ladies in the cruising rules.:eek:

Cheryl, Jesse pre-registered for the Birkie and will call me with his number. I'll post it here as soon as I get it so you can be sure to toss a banana or two his way. :banana: No fair aiming for his head. You may be meeting him in October and he never forgets a "tosser".

Paige, we were originally planning on staying at the Marriott in Cocoa Beach on Friday night. Now since the kids are "thinking" of joining us, we may have to rethink that decision and switch to the Hyatt airport. Chuck and I are flying out of Milwaukee non-stop to Orlando. The kids couldn't find any direct flights from Milw on Friday so they may fly out of Chicago instead. A nice cheap flight was found but it doesn't arrive in Orlando until Friday, late afternoon. I don't feel like sitting around the airport for hours with all our luggage waiting for them all. Checking into the Hyatt may just be the most convenient thing for us. Costly, yet convenient.

Brenda, Yup, we have a heat wave forcasted for Wisconsin mid week. We may be hitting 39 on Wednesday. By Saturday, 45. I can just see all of us crazy Wisconsinites this weekend. We'll be in our driveways in shorts and t-shirts washing our cars, golf courses will be open, and our car windows rolled down. :dance3:

Sorry people. This is what happens to me when I can't sleep and pop a sleeping pill at 3:00 am!! I ramble, and ramble and ramble..........

[A fat english gent]

Linda, have a great getaway with your DD and mom (mum).:cutie:

Chris, Was the Turkish Dwarf the same guy as your "Adolf Hitler"??? :rofl:

I wish Nancy,the lad found god (not for me but each to their own,i say)and went to work for UNICEF,he was killed doing unpaid mine Clearance in bosnia for some charity...:sad2:

Karen, how's the house selling going? Don't listen to Chris about the buns in the oven. It's too close to cruising time and I believe there is a ban of pregnant ladies in the cruising rules.:eek:

Good advice,you can hardly expect your prospective house buyers to simply but a bun in Karen's oven can you? :rolleyes1

Cheryl, Jesse pre-registered for the Birkie and will call me with his number. I'll post it here as soon as I get it so you can be sure to toss a banana or two his way. :banana: No fair aiming for his head. You may be meeting him in October and he never forgets a "tosser".

"tosser". That's another of them translation things...:rotfl2:

I'm waiting for one of our English friends to pounce on Nancy's use of the word "Tosser." :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Hi everyone:wave2:

Just a quick hello.

Another young couple just left from viewing - she couldnt stop smiling and was already talking about where her stuff would fit etc so that looks promising!:banana:

My hubby just called. He drives past the house we like regularly and was bothered about a car that always seemed to be parked outside "our new house" but not on the driveway. Well, he refused to buy the house on the grounds that some "tosser" could park his car outside our house and partly block the drive - bad *** we have 3 cars between the 2 of us to park.. Today it was on the drive so it must belong to the owners anyway:banana: . Phew! - thats pleased him *** it means it'll go when they do! - sorry - bit of a ramble but I'm chuffed:yay: .

ps - Ellis went back to school today - :banana: :banana: - normality rules!

[JLDSMD]

Jeff, I notified DCL that there are a few passengers who may be trying to smuggle some laser pointers onto the ship. I was assured that anyone caught with one will be gagged and bound and made to watch the rest of us eating fresh shrimp. I also mentioned your name as the "godfather of the pointers" and DCL assured me once again that you are now on their black list for future cruises. :thumbsup2

You guys heard it here. Nancy ratted me out, so now I won't be sailing with you. Guess I don't have to contemplate cancelling. Thanks Nancy for making my decission for me. :thumbsup2

Hum Nancy? Did you check Air Tran's website?

I just went on there and they have non-stops to FL for $195.80. They have two flights listed each way. On Fri 10/19, they have 8:00 a.m. - 11:36 a.m. and 2:50 p.m. - 6:28 p.m. Returning on Sun 10/28, they have 11:40 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and 6:58 p.m. - 8:45 p.m.

They could come back on the later flight on Sat 10/27 if they wanted. The earlier flight that day is $60 more, plus you'd have to rush to the airport.

Midwest also has seats leaving on Friday 10/19. If they come back on 10/27 it would be $288. Coming back on Sun 10/28 would be $312 unless they connected through Kansas City, then it would be $239. If they wait until Mon 10/29, they can go non-stop both ways for $216.

Not sure what you were looking at. Maybe something came up this morning on the airlines. :confused3

See, I help you out and what do you do? Report me to the DCL authorities. :lmao:

[Timon]

Nancy, your Disney night sounds a bit like mine....my father-in-law napped through most of both videos, the kids were running around or demanding we go NOW and they left early and I still had a whole page of stuff to go over :rolleyes: Oh well, we still have time, I can bore them another night :lmao:

Those darn non-Disney people huh? :rolleyes1

If you like I can burn you a dvd of my videos and slideshows and send it to you. I can't believe you still have dial up...I would DIE!! I have super high speed and I still curse at it!!!

[GOS]

Just taken this of one of other threads...

"They also have a specialty coffee machine for lattes, capuccinos, etc. Most importantly, the NL lounge is staffed all day with a concierge"

Now I might be a thick here, but what is the NL lounge?

Heather

[jdkdorn]

Staying at the port is easy and inexpensive. We stayed at the Radisson at the Port and had a two room suite for $156. You can get smaller rooms for lower prices but we figured it was our last night to have a bedroom to ourselves for a while so we wanted the privacy. You do not need to book the cruise package to get the free shuttle or the free car parking. If you want more ideas you can go to Mousesavers.com and she has a whole section on staying near the port. If you do choose the Radisson make sure you book your shuttle as soon as you book your room. The early shuttles to the port fill up early. We were on the first shuttle at 10 am and were checked into our cabin and received KTTK cards by 11 am and were on the ship by noon.

We are stying at WDW the night before and using a limo service because we have too many people for a rental car and because we are DVC nd we have not used our 2007 points. (for the first time ever I am not a year ahead on my points and we actually banked some. I am having the Disney DT's right now)

Last year we were at WDW as on Tuesday and on our Cruise Saturday, I need a fix badly

Haven't seen Cheryl on here lately, hope everything is OK, her daughter is very active on the kids site.

Have a nice afternoon

Judy:cool1: :hippie: :love:

[disgrits]

Just an FYI....Country Inn & Suites has a rate of $89 right now. It has to be paid in full when you book, though.

Hope you are all having a nice President's day....It's beautiful here in Monterey. DH is at the beach with our boys; Emily and I are stuck in the house...she can't seem to get over this cold/bronchitis/sinus infection thingy!:sick:

[jdkdorn]

:cutie: I know it is great in CA, I wish I was there. My sister used to live in Huntington Beach and I have a brother who lives in Pleasanton, CA. Are you still in the USMC? My brother is a Navy Pilot (without a base) they closed his base 2 years ago and since he has gone reserves he drives to LA for his duty. He will be retiring in 3 more years with 25 years in.

I really miss our trips to CA and the lovely weather, enjoy it while you can they may send you someplace frigid.

Have a good night

Yes, my DH is in the USMC. We're moving to Quantico, VA in June, and plan to retire from there in 4 years. (In what seems like a lifetime ago, my DH was a pilot as well. Well, stillis I guess, he just doesn't fly anymore.):cool1:

Yes, the weather is mild in the winter here, but it is chilly in the summer. We live on the central coast.....I think there is just something very wrong when you have to wear polar fleece in June.:confused3


I see you are in Wisconsin. My DBIL is from Superior, Wisconsin, but he and my DSis live in Louisiana. He tells us stories about how cold it gets there...scary to me!:scared1:

Good morning everyone. I just have time for a quick hello :wave: 8 months from today we will be boarding the Magic :banana: :banana: :banana: We always do a "countdown" email with our friends from NY that we cruise with so I just sent them the 8 month anniversary email.

I am so behind here I am sure I probably have pages and pages and pages to read to get caught up and I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to do that, might not be until next week. Last week was crazy at work and then we had a busy weekend and this weekend is when I go up to northern WI by my sister and brother-in-law to help out for the Birkie cross-country skin race. I need to get going to work.

Happy 8 month to cruise anniversary everyone :cheer2:

Bumping....it's a slippery slope!

Not the best of days for me today but i did get to cheer up a very tired old lady because as my sister thought I'd be unable to attend today she'd already made my excuses so when my aunts "Laurence" (her nickname for me after Laurence of arabia,because when i was younger i'd ring my mum from some far off s**t tip ever week:rotfl2: )made a late enterence her old face lit up the whole church and i got an old lady to forget the very reason she was there if only for a split second anyways....:sad2:

[cntkg1]

Chris, So sorry that it's a lousy week for you and the family. Better days are ahead.:hug:

[Poohbush]

Chris, my thoughts are with you too!

Yah - Cheryl reminded us that it's just 8 more months til our cruise. That's great! I was listening to some "on hold" music on the phone today, and it just reminded me of the music you hear on the ship walking around. Sort of that 40's, or Swing sort of sound. Really had me wanting to be on the ship RIGHT NOW!

Still can't get Sammie potty trained. It's just hopeless. She's so stubborn. She's going to be in college, in diapers. I just know it! :scared:

Not much to add here. Just wanted to bump us up. We were on the bottom of page 1. :eek:

Cass, I always wanted to bite her little cheeks, but those legs...I want to squeeze one of those now.

Well, I guess it's official now. My kids will be joining us on the cruise. We booked their cruise, flights, hotels and car rental. Got a quote on a kennel for the pooch too. Nothing left to do except get them to pay back my Disney Visa. I hope those tax returns get here quickly.:lmao:

So, if this works, here are the kids. From left to right....Jesse (26 in March), DD Kristin (23 in June), Stacy (24) and DS Tony (26) at the Polynesian Luau last year.

A big Welcome to Nancy's family.....
























Ive never been averse to looking at attractive women the more the merry i say.....:rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl2:

And girls before i get the flames here i can't believe you never take a sneaky peak,not ever?......:rolleyes1

[Karen Mouse]

Chris - big hugs to you:grouphug:

Nancy - lovely news about your kids cruising - the more the merrier!

Cass - oh my god - you are gonna have to hide that baby or I'm gonna keep her.:love: She is just the cutest little munchkin:cutie:

Tina - we had problems potty training Ellis - he just wasnt interest for ages. We gave up and the one day I just said "forget it... you tell me when you want out of these stinky nappies and into big boy pants." Said no more about it and put the potty in the corner out of the way. Within 2-3 days he'd decided on his own that he wanted to try. *** it was "his" decision he tried and within the week he was dry day and night. A little "reward prezzie" works well too!. Wrap up something in a big box with ribbons and bows - make it look extra special. Put it somewhere she can see and explain to her that when she is dry in big girl pants she gets to open the prezzie *** she's such a clever big girl and you're proud of her. Yeah - its bribery but who cares:confused3 - worked for us;)

It wasnt that Ellis couldnt do it - it was laziness and he didnt have an incentive. - That box sure was a good incentive. A nice and bright and visual reminder that she has to choose to try or leave the prezzie on that shelf.
good luck:thumbsup2

[oybolshoi]

Nothing wrong with admiring an attractive individual...


Now, if I happened to see Jason starring after some drop-dead gorgeous woman with his tonque hanging out of his mouth then I might have a problem...;)

Thanks Karen,Do you know any good looking fellas (no am not having some kinda mid life thing)about 25 to 35?, you see am supposed to be going to a wedding in the caribbean in October and because of me and some friendly advice the said wedding is now in major doubt due to the fact we dont a bloody groom:scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

Hi folks

Just spent the afternoon on ebay:surfweb: - selling not buying for a change!

We are still "de-cluttering" and making money:banana: . Sold loads of Ellis' baby stuff, toys, clothes etc - up to £125 so far and loads still to go.

How did we all manage before p.c.'s?:confused3 I do everything online. Even just paid my tax disc online. Thank god for technology:rotfl: - even if I dont understand half of it. I just need to wait a year or two then Ellis will teach me:goodvibes

Good news on the house - the lady who came last night is coming back with her daughters tomorrow then I think she will offer:banana: :banana: :banana:

We have a property to view on Friday ourselves so it could all be going smoothly - am I tempting fate by saying that?:eek: - I take it all back just incase.

Chris - sorry - I only know one handsome guy and he's all mine! - Its easy to see because he has "SOLD" tatooed on his head:rotfl: :rotfl:

ps- its not time to go,..but it IS time to pack:rotfl2:

Brenda - I caught Neil watching the woman gym instructor today at the poolside doing my aqua class. When he realised he'd been caught he started laughing and nearly fell off the treadmill. Then it was my turn to laugh.:rotfl:

No fair Steve! But good for you! It always seems more official when it's paid in full! Then when the docs arrive, woo hoo - even better! :woohoo:

Karen, good suggetsion about the big potty bribery. We've tried small bribes. Right now she's really loving the Matchbox type cars from the Cars movie. I had an unopened pack of them sitting out, and told her we'd open it when she sat on the potty and did something all by herself. Little sneak opened them up and brought the empty container to me! :rolleyes1 With Katie, the My Little Pony promotion was going on at McDonald's. We awarded her with a new Pony, and she was done in no time flat. She loved getting new ponies!

Cass - Kira gets cuter and cuter with each picture!

Nancy, how fun that your kids are going too. We tried convincing my parents and my sister and her hubby to come along with us, but no bites.

[Scouter]

hey I'm joining this cruise!
I love the buildup to it, talking with DIS'ers..... the anticipation! YIPPEE!
It will be me DD 42, DBF (Dear boyfriend)40, and DS17.

This will be cruise #3 for me and DS.
We did a land and sea wonder cruise in 2003, then a 7 day western in
November 2005.
That second cruise was the best vacation we'd ever had. So we're so
excited about this one and hopefully DBF will love it as much as we do.

Can't wait to meet everyone!:yay:

[jdkdorn]

Welcome to our cruise,

It is kind of humerous that you are from Liverpool, NY, Most of the people on here are either from WI (like me) or from England. You are a combination of US with a English twist. We like to post a lot so feel free to join in. How old is DS, we have a kids cruisers site but currently it is all girls in the early part of their teens.

Have a good night,

Judy:goodvibes

Wow. I could get a whole page to myself.

[chibben2003]

This is really cool that everyone is sleeping.

[chibben2003]

I guess if I keep posting I will soon find out.

Chris, Please pm either Brenda (Oybolshoi) or myself and give us your email address. The Yahoo site is by invitation rather than a link. (Neither Brenda nor I can access that site at work, so you'll probably have to wait until we get home tonight).

BTW...glad to see you're back. We were starting to wonder if you decided to change your cruise date. Also, we have a Konked Kruiser's (that's us) list started, so in your pm please give us your family's specs. Names, ages, etc...

Scouter, please pm us for your invitation to the yahoo group also and family info to be added to our Konked Kruiser's list.

Nancy:hippie:

We will be there about noon or so, but then we stay until Tuesaday night.

Chris, my kids (all four) will be flying in on Friday via Delta also. Do you have a stop in Atlanta? They are leaving early (I believe at 7:00am) and arriving in Orlando at 12:30 or so. You may all be on the same flight.:banana:

We are flying in via Midwest Friday morning.

Hi everyone! My family just booked our first Disney cruise. Two sons age 5 & 10 at time of sailing. Anyone have great ideas for excursions for us?

[Lindy Loo]

Ok Ok i think ive caught up.......... kind of !:confused3

Welcome to our cruise thread Scouter and Chibben2003:welcome: :rainbow: :jumping1: we are a crazy but very friendly lot here.

Chris. sorry you had a crappy week, glad you could make an old ladies day, by attending the funeral. These things often are so important to others, and you made a horrible day bearable. Good on you.

Cass the picture of Kira is sooooo cute, I agree with Karen, keep her away for us, *** we might just want to smuggle her back to the UK, she is adorable!

[Lindy Loo]

Paige asked what the REAL Engand looks like, so I took a few photos of where I live and of Brighton pier and seafront ( about 14 miles south of my parents house) It seemed weird taking photos, *** I lived there for so long, and never really took much notice of the beauty around me.
Sadly it rained on soe days I took photos, so they are a bit dark, but I guess this shows how it really is..... not sadly the sunny bright pictures of Florida.
