Are you kidding, no way was I gonna take those pirates from you after all that work! That would've been rude and uncalled for!

[JsMom2]

I was over on the DVC forum, and someone said that they'd been waitlisted at VWL for 16-23 December and it came through in August. Now they've been notified that the area they were going to be in is being renovated and they've been moved to OKW. So I guess its just as well you got all your SSR days set.

Btw, shopping on Friday sounds fun. Maybe Jas and I can do DisneyQuest on Thursday. I'll see how much my Sis wants to do it. Even if we do DQ, I think we'll be done by around 3pm since we plan to get there when it opens. Plus we can leave and go back.

:flower3: I appreciate the pirate: . You could have easily got him too. :goodvibes

Everyone on here is going to read all my posts later and wonder "What was she thinking?" :lmao: Yes, I will admit I am an insomniatic and IT IS NOT FUN!!! It can be VERY lonely being the only one up all night. Like I stated before, I am sooooooooooo tired. But, I can't sleep. Maybe, this cruise will be my cure! :rolleyes1 Otherwise, I'll be the one up on deck 10 at 2 AM running around the basketball court. :rotfl:

Maybe, some of my words of wisdom can help others. I have a whole lot more in this tired head of mine. But, I honestly was too tired to type the words. So, I got lazy and started putting smilies. So, I do apologize to everyone on here for my rambles. But, it was all in good fun! :goodvibes

[JsMom2]

Oh just a few more days until I get to dial-in and try to get on the DVC Member cruise! They start taking ressies at 9am, and expect the ship to be soldout by noon!

Do you get a special rate? When is the cruise? No, Bill I am not planning anything just yet. :rolleyes: I'm curious. I don't get onto the DVC thread that much.

You can pay in either points or $$ for the cruise, but its only open to DVC Members - each member can book up to 3 staterooms. Next year's cruise is Sept 21-25 and will do a double dip at Castaway Cay and a day at sea. During the cruise they have all kinds of special activities and also special shows with guest stars. You also get a gift in your stateroom each night. Who knows about the lanyards now though! :rotfl2:

Member Services is taking bookings for the cruise from 9am to 1pm this Saturday. If you don't get on this Saturday, then the only option is to waitlist. Some folks are already booked because if you bought 250 points on the last member cruise, you got a Cat 6 stateroom on this one!

That was a nice little incentive for those cruisers. That cruise falls right around DD5's birthday. Hmmmmmmm? :rolleyes: Maybe, I'll have Bill check to see what if anything we could do to move our early Sept cruise to that one. I wonder if they'd let us transfer the deposit to that one? I am gettng more leary on cruising right after the PC and before drydock. We'll see. :goodvibes

I have to take the kids to the doctor in a few hours. I am up now. So, I am off to start my day here in lovely Texas. Everyone have a great day and I'll check back with you later.

- Jennifer

[AmberDaClown]

Good morning everyone! Almost time to get DD to school.

[AmberDaClown]

I guess I am the only one here.

[AmberDaClown]

For those going down early, do you have enough laundry for the week plus whatever time you are going to be gone, or will you send it out on the ship? I can send out blouses and shorts and things. Never my underthings. I will NOT be spending any of our vacation doing laundry. :sad2: I can do that enough at home.

[AmberDaClown]

mommyoftwinfants,

Sorry to hear about your uncle. I will share the story about DD and my father when I get back from dropping her off. It spooked us a bit then made us happy.

[AmberDaClown]

Things that bother me:

The way Minnie dances at the end of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the disney channel. Why does she look at her feet?

[SeaSickPsycho]

:thumbsup2 Alas, this is why we are homeschooling DS7. Like Stefanie, we live in TX too. He is currently in Second Grade. They start the TAKS test in Third Grade. He won't have any part of that! :sad2:

- Jennifer

As I said earlier, we enrolled in the GA Virtual Academy. We will have to test. In GA we are required to test every three years starting in third grade. As a homeschooler we did not have to show the results to anyone. Now that we are in "public school" , my son will be taking at least two tests each year. I really don't care because I know my son is doing well.

I posted a concern about my teacher on our Yahoo Group. No one has the nerve to post a response but I have received several private messages. Why are these parents so afraid of our poor teacher. I guess I realize I can just go back to homeschooling.

[AmberDaClown]

Back from school and the gas station. I could no longer ignore that yellow light. Paid $2.99 a gallon.

[AmberDaClown]

I am gonna check for brunch this morning for the heck of it.

[AmberDaClown]

Hmmm DCL seems to be unhappy this morning. This could be a good sign or a bad one.

[AmberDaClown]

IE worked fine. No brunch or high tea reservations this morning. We keep trying.

[WIFamily]

Hey thanks everyone for the hugs and cares for Ryan. He'll be ok. Last night he was running and jumping around the house again. After he fell asleep last night, I held an ice pack to his little face for about 10 minutes. It didn't do much, as this morning his right eye is almost swollen shut. But he's not hurting, because he decided to jump off the couch this morning. He's our youngest of four, and he's the first ER trip we've had, so we've been lucky.

[AmberDaClown]

Well since DD will be 4.5 soon, we are going to try and move her up with the 5-7 group. Looking over the activities, I can tell she will have far more fun than with the 3-4s. I know they can do it as I read a trip report where a 6.5 year old moved up to the LAB.

[AmberDaClown]

DH stayed home this morning and is going to try and "work" (sleep) from home. I had to set the alarm so he will not miss a conference call at 11. :love::sick::love:

[AmberDaClown]

It appears no one is here and I am talking to myself. That is ok I am used to it. The doctors say it is normal. :thumbsup2

Good morning.

You are not alone.

I was just ranting about my child's teacher with a friend on another site. The teacher made an oppointment with me for a confernece calll that "may be tomorrow, I am not sure what time, I have other meetings and if I don't call tomorrow I will call after Thanksgiving." :scared1: She is driving me crazy. I don't think I could get away with that at my job.

Yippee, I got 4 of the 7 passports we need today. It took exactly 3 weeks and 5 days, regular cost. So the two boys are a week behind, so we should get them next week. I have mine already, so it looks like we should have all of them by the cruise.

Forgot about the cost af all theose passports when I booked the cruise on the spur of the moment 3 weeks ago. Oh well, at least I did'nt spend the extra on rush processing. And now we have them.

Time sure is flying by :hourglass .......

Glad you got them! We decided not to worry about them this time - we'll apply for them when we get back from the cruise, so we'll be ready for any trips we might want to take next year :rolleyes1

[AmberDaClown]

And good morning to you as well. I was just biding time until the rest of America woke up. Sorry about these dealings with this teacher.

[AmberDaClown]

:sick: is calling me. I think he wants be to get him a little bell or something.

popcorn::

[SeaSickPsycho]

:confused: Is anyone else driving down to Cape Canaveral on Thursday, December 6th, to see the shuttle launch? I know people talked about it, but no one said for sure. We moved around our itinerary to make sure we didn't miss this one! :thumbsup2 Plus, it is later in the day giving us time to recover from the previous evening at one of the parks. ;)

- Jennifer

I am going and have already purchased tickets. I think it will be really fun!

[SeaSickPsycho]

:sick: is calling me. I think he wants be to get him a little bell or something.

I am sorry he is sick. :sad2:

I am just killing time waiting on the call from my teacher. I should get it around 9:30 or after Thanksgiving? I have already heard from another parent that she cannot pronounce her words correctly. She is to administer a test for my son this morning over the phone. Should he speak the way she does so he will "pass" mthe test? :scared1:

[JoiseyMom]

OMG...you guys are INSANE. I have 20 pages to catch up with. I have about 1 hour before I need to leave the house...can I do it??

[JoiseyMom]

I am Thankful that the Tag Fairy doesn't cruise with us... Some of us, would be in some serious trouble tonight.. :scared:


Hey I wish she did...I said some kewl things here and I wouldn't mind being tagged with some of it...:lmao: .

[SeaSickPsycho]

:idea: Another word of advice:

Let your server know if you plan to dine at Palo. So, they don't keep your tablemates waiting for their order. They put the whole tables order in at the same time.

What are table mates?

[JoiseyMom]

Evidently. Um....Angie was wrong, but don't tell DrHug! ;)


Huh :confused3 tell who what??

[JoiseyMom]

ooooooh. I love the Budget Board! I don't post there, but I love to read and have gotten some great deals from tips there. :cool1:


I go tothe budget board, and the spend too much money on the bargains I find... :confused3

[SeaSickPsycho]

pirate: pirate: pirate:

Congrats! Also, with post like your posts, I will be able to catch up.:banana:

[JoiseyMom]

When I was at that conference I went to Walmart to see if I could find any pirate halloween goodies since the boys bday party next year is going to have a pirate theme so I wouldn't miss out any steals and I saw the cutest little suits for only 29 so I picked 2 up. They are black with a very fine baby blue stripe. I actually found my dress at Ross it is all black with a sort of halter top look to it and is right under the knees, its really more of a cocktail dress instead of a formal dress but for the life of me I cannot find anything that actually covers up the chest area. I don't know why they can't make clothes anymore for women who do not like to show the world certain body parts.


certain body parts = "girls" :goodvibes

Well mine will be umm..out there..especially in one top.. :rotfl:

[JoiseyMom]

I am going to design a Spanx Thong. That should look really good.


Hmm...how is it going to work?? Spanx are designed to suck things in. Thongs are designed to let things...out :rotfl2:

[helloemi]

I go tothe budget board, and the spend too much money on the bargains I find... :confused3

speaking of which, i got df a jack sparrow costume from the disney store (the one at the mall!) for 14$ (originaly 100$)

I never thought he would be out pirating me pirate:

[AmberDaClown]

What are table mates?
You can be assigned to a table as big as 10 I think. Your table mates are other cruisers who rotate with you to different tables. It depends on the size of your party, and if you linked your dining reservations with anyone else. Except in Palo, there are very few tables for two in the main dining rotation I think.

[JoiseyMom]

[AmberDaClown]

The fitness area does not open until 6:30AM :confused: What am I going to do without my 5AM gym time. I am very proud of my body and the work it has taken to get it this way. I guess I can walk on deck 4. Looking at the plans there really is no jogging deck is there?

I was able to move my son up last year and the year before I could leave my daughter in the club when she was two because she was potty trained.

[AmberDaClown]

So what dining time does everyone have?

We have late so we can enjoy the pools while everyone else is getting ready for dinner.

[AmberDaClown]

I was able to move my son up last year and the year before I could leave my daughter in the club when she was two because she was potty trained.:goodvibes

That is very good to know. How old was your son and what did he move from to? i am just thinking she will be bored with the activities I have seen for 3-4 year olds.

[JoiseyMom]

First time self quoter.
I don't think that came out right. My DD will see your DD's pink hair and want pink too. She has EVERYTHING in pink. I just don't want to pay for it. I had a friend who was an expert with coloring hair blue, green, pink etc. It was really expensive at her shop.
I have always wanted bright blue hair but work wouldn't let me:scared1:
Maybe one pink lanyard for my son. When he was 3 and 4 he told everyone he was Jewish. Not sure why he did this, we aren't Jewish. It did make Christmas interesting at my inlaws when he brought the subject up.:rotfl:


Maybe he just wanted 8 nites of presents, some chocolate gelt, and potato latkes!! :cool1:

[AmberDaClown]

Holy moley, the spa prices are about $100 more for treatments on the ship than on shore. :scared1:

[AmberDaClown]

I am so excited that we are almost here. In a month we will be on Castaway Cay. By now? I am not sure what time we get off the ship.

I hope we get good weather.

[JoiseyMom]

I have to tell you that the best teachers are quitting because they are not able to teach the children their way and can't handle the "rules" where no one is really learning anything. ........The reason why I am getting my MLS so I can work in a school library and not have deal with the pressure of teaching a child how to pass a test....:mad:


They are doing that here in NJ too. I hate it. DD was in the highest math class, but she is supposed to have extra time to take test (she has a 504), but the teacher can't give her more time, because the class is moving so fast she is going to be behind. So they moved her down a level. They all learn the same material, but not at the same speed. DH asked, well if the other class is so fast, they must be learning more material. Nope, they will be taking the extra time to do practice tests. ***. You can't meet my dd's needs with the 504 because of this stupid tests?? :mad:

[AmberDaClown]

When is the Cognac and Cigar social supposed to be?

[LAShutterbug]

speaking of which, i got df a jack sparrow costume from the disney store (the one at the mall!) for 14$ (originaly 100$)

WOW I just ordered and paid double that - guess I ordered a few days too early.

BTW where's this bargin thread?

[SeaSickPsycho]

:goodvibes

That is very good to know. How old was your son and what did he move from to? i am just thinking she will be bored with the activities I have seen for 3-4 year olds.

You are probably right about being bored. My son loved the actvities once he was moved up.

[AmberDaClown]

If we have registered our kiddos online is there any need to go to registration at the port or can they go right to the clubs once we board?

I guess I would have to go check on the ship to see if she could move up? :confused: I remember the line for the club on RCCL was horrendous and we were at the port early.

[AmberDaClown]

Do you ever see Mickey Mouse in the traditional Mickey mouse outfit while on board or should we do that at WDW. Ya know the red pants, jacket and yellow tie. Not the different variations of clothing he can wear?

[SeaSickPsycho]

Maybe he just wanted 8 nites of presents, some chocolate gelt, and potato latkes!! :cool1:

Maybe so, my DD(18) was really upset in preschool when she realized her best friend celebrated both holidays, I think it made for at least 9 presents. My son(7) now says he is an atheist. DD(4) says she is not because she believes in Santa Clause. :santa: Where do they get this stuff?:confused3 We live in the Bible Belt.

[AmberDaClown]

Did you see our governor on the news yesterday on the steps of the capitol praying for rain? I am sure that will play well across the rest of the country. Something there about mixing church and state.

After our first cruise, we have never bought photos because we never go back and look at them. DH was wondering how we are going to spend all of our OBC.

[JoiseyMom]

Well 4 pages to go..and I have to leave. Time to go to work..ick. Retail BITES!!!

[ragdoll]

After our first cruise, we have never bought photos because we never go back and look at them. DH was wondering how we are going to spend all of our OBC.

You can pay your tips with your OBC.

[AmberDaClown]

You can pay your tips with your OBC.
That is true. We had a waiter on another cruise tell us he preferred when guests did their tips on account because then he had no cash that could be stolen. :sad2:

[AmberDaClown]

He also told us a little bit about what he called the "onboard mafia". He didn't mean it in a bad way, but it was what life was like.

He and his roommate had a cabin steward which they tipped. He would also tip the head waiter for better table assignments, the kitchen staff to get his food up in a hurry and sometimes he would tip a co-worker to reset the tables after the second seating. They had to be done before he left the dining room for the breakfast seatings. If he was tired which he always was, he would slip someone some cash to set up his area so he could get a few extra moments of sleep.

[AmberDaClown]

Here is another question.

I know if you have late seating, you eat on the last day at a second breakfast seating. If you are not going to eat breakfast on the ship, can you just walk off when they announce that people can leave?

[AmberDaClown]

I may actually try and take a nap today because it was not a restful night out on the couch.

[SeaSickPsycho]

I heard a report on one of the nat'l networks this morning about the prayer meeting. The reporter kind of chuckled and said GA might get rain today. He added "less than 1/2 an inch". I think he thought the whole thinkg was rather silly. I don't care what works, we need rain.

[SeaSickPsycho]

WOW I just ordered and paid double that - guess I ordered a few days too early.

You still got a GREAT price!:thumbsup2

I loved the ministers on TAR on Sunday talking about how they had prayed during the race, but said "We do not think g*d really cares if we win the Amazing Race." Very humble and very funny. I was sorry to see them go.

[AmberDaClown]

I am reading the most recent Nagivators (as my DD calls them) and on the last day it talks about settling your account. It is a fact of life that many people in America and who take cruises are living beyond their means and overextended on credit. I wonder would it happen if they could not pay their final bill because they had maxed out their credit cards?

Would they be forced to stay on the ship? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[ragdoll]

Here is another question.

I know if you have late seating, you eat on the last day at a second breakfast seating. If you are not going to eat breakfast on the ship, can you just walk off when they announce that people can leave?


Yes, you can just walk off then. Don't forget that Topsider's buffet is open early for breakfast on the last morning. DH and I always go there then. It is very convenient.

The DIS is not cooperating for me. Way too slow today so I'm off for now. Have a good day everyone!

[AmberDaClown]

So WIFamily,

How is your son feeling this morning. Is his face still purple or is there some blacking and bluing going on.

[AmberDaClown]

Yes, you can just walk off then. Don't forget that Topsider's buffet is open early for breakfast on the last morning. DH and I always go there then. It is very convenient.

Thank you thank you for your answer!!! We figure we would lightly snack if anything and then get on the road for the drive back.

I think the rest of the DIS is waking up because we have hit lag city.

Almost there. I can see the shimmering desert. Is real or is it a mirage.

It is either going to be the captain, someone similar. They are supposed to call us next week to set up the details onboard. Disney has made this whole process very mysterious!

http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=sc_pgb_r_12_1_16275561/602-4040296-3715825?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B000X1GRKS

I was very excited to find a dress with bunnies on it!

When this cruise is over i will have no excuse to buy ridiculous things anymore:sad1:

So you like bunnies? When I got married for some reason a collection of bunny stuff was started, stuff for my new house inside and out. My DD6 now has asked why there are so much bunny stuff since I haven't collected much since she was born.

It's amazingly fun isn't it?:goodvibes

[AmberDaClown]

I wonder if a Cat 3 will become available at the last minute. It would be fun to have a ton of space and concierge service.

[fldisfanatic]

So what dining time does everyone have?

We have late so we can enjoy the pools while everyone else is getting ready for dinner.


We have late dining :thumbsup2

[MrsMork]

Oh just a few more days until I get to dial-in and try to get on the DVC Member cruise! They start taking ressies at 9am, and expect the ship to be soldout by noon!

Use the 407 number, not the 800 number. :thumbsup2 Words of wisdom. ;)

[MrsMork]

That was a nice little incentive for those cruisers. That cruise falls right around DD5's birthday. Hmmmmmmm? :rolleyes: Maybe, I'll have Bill check to see what if anything we could do to move our early Sept cruise to that one. I wonder if they'd let us transfer the deposit to that one? I am gettng more leary on cruising right after the PC and before drydock. We'll see. :goodvibes

I have to take the kids to the doctor in a few hours. I am up now. So, I am off to start my day here in lovely Texas. Everyone have a great day and I'll check back with you later.

- Jennifer

There is no deposit when you book thru DVC. You have to pay the entire amount at booking. So, if you book 2 people with points and 3 with cash you have to have the total cash for the 3, plus the $75 booking fee.

[MrsMork]

When is the Cognac and Cigar social supposed to be?

You will need to check the navigators.

[MrsMork]

I am reading the most recent Nagivators (as my DD calls them) and on the last day it talks about settling your account. It is a fact of life that many people in America and who take cruises are living beyond their means and overextended on credit. I wonder would it happen if they could not pay their final bill because they had maxed out their credit cards?

Would they be forced to stay on the ship? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


They applied money from our account to our card several times during the week.

Still have 15 pg or so to catch up! That's what I get for going to sleep early!
Hey have some news. My DD 6 did her first swim meet Saturday, competing with 8yr and under and got 4th in Backstroke and 5th in 25mFreestyle and the only 6 yr or younger that beat her was the Coach's daughter that's been swimming for 2 years. DD started in August training. She's so pumped.

Wow, that's amazing, Mary. WTG for dd! I think when a kid excels that young, she must truly have a gift--good for you for spotting it and helping her along, also! :thumbsup2

Ryan (1) got hurt today pretty bad. He fell on our playground while running and hit his cheek and nose on a wooden step. I took him to the ER. Nothing broken, he might have fractured his nose, but Dr said it's hard to tell with him so young, and there's no treatment for it anyway. I'm uploading a couple of quick pics I just took.

Ouchies! That sort of thing makes your heart stop. Glad he's recovering well, and I have to say even with that big owie, he is as cute as a dickens. :love:

We have good days and bad ones as the worst is to change clothes 10 times per day for both of us since Soy smells so much.

OMG, I had forgotten how awful that smells...ds had a realllllly strong gag reflex and could throw up a belly full of milk for no apparent reason. Bad enough to clean up, then there's the laundry you'd rather just heave in a trash bag and seal up...wishing you THROUGH this part quickly!!

today she was offered a position at a new bank here in town!! NOW I'M MARRIED TO A SUGAR MOMMA BANKER!!!! :woohoo:

Congrats Tina!! And I hope she told them she needs a week off soon. ;)

[TheTXTaylors5]

They applied money from our account to our card several times during the week.

:thumbsup2 Yes, it is my understanding they take out increments of money from your credit card to cover any costs you may have throughout the whole cruise. It may have been like in $300 increments. If someone else remembers, please chime in. So, when you spend that money, they deduct more from your account. Kind of like a toll tag system, where they take $40 directly out of our checking account if our toll tag account gets lower than $10. So, there shouldn't be a case where someone gets an oops at the end of the cruise :scared: Guest Services would contact them well before the end of the cruise if there was a problem with their credit card.

Oh, ok, just wanted to post my little victory--down 2.6 lbs at Weight Watchers this week! I have a feeling it's only temporary--like, 25 days or so... ;) But better to start from a deficit, anyway!

:rolleyes1 Since I am posting, I am obviously back from the doctor with the kids. I :worship: the person who invented the flu mist. All three of them took it without any incident. I'd like to see that with a shot. :rolleyes: I am off to feed the kiddos . . .

Congrats !
I agree with you on needing that deficit, unless there is a seamstress onboard, I will sadly be dieting. My cheapness got the best of me at davids bridal, It was going to cost 80$ to let the top out....I wont be able to breath...but that paid for my exotic rasul!

Congrats. Yes any little bit helps. I dropped 10 since Oct 1st - I'm such not a dieter, no will power but knowing I would put it back on on the cruise. Trying to do another 5 at least by then and wishful thinking another 10 as that was my goal.:rolleyes1

[pfishgirl]

Hello All :wave:
Home from work !! I actually got off from work on time today.. :woohoo: That's because only my 2 assistant managers were there and it was slooooooooooow other then shipment.. Took us 2 hours to unload the boxes off the pallets.. When I left there were still a ton of boxes that needed to be opened, unpacked, shelved or put away.. :sad2: We knew it would be a big one cause we were out of everything.. :scared:

I am going to make a post about our Secret Mickey exchange.. I just need time to type it up.. I also need to go back about 20 pages of fluff and posts to catch up to you all..

Back in a bit..

[coastgirl]

Is it just me? I've been trying to get in to my reservation off and on today and still haven't managed to get in. And, for the record, can I say I hate the way the site "blames" you for putting in the numbers or whatever wrong when it's a glitch at their end? grumpy gus here...

[JoiseyMom]

You can be assigned to a table as big as 10 I think. Your table mates are other cruisers who rotate with you to different tables. It depends on the size of your party, and if you linked your dining reservations with anyone else. Except in Palo, there are very few tables for two in the main dining rotation I think.


Tables can be bigger than 10...as of now we are a table of 15 :cool1:

[JoiseyMom]

WOW I just ordered and paid double that - guess I ordered a few days too early.

BTW where's this bargin thread?


Its the budget board...like we are cruise meets. Its here on the Dis.

[JsMom2]

They waived the $75 fee for the Member Cruise:thumbsup2

Good for you Joanne! I know you've really been working on it. And more importantly, you've been working out so you are healthier. :thumbsup2

[AmberDaClown]

We have a new infestation of ladybugs in our home. A couple of hundred of them around the front door and window over the foyer. I know they are a good insect, but it gets annoying having them drop on you while you go in and out.

Good for you Mary! For someone with "no will power", that's really an accomplishment.:banana:

I was checking the website and there are all new Mythbusters until almost the end of the year.

Since I went from dial up to dsl I cannot access my ressies at all on the DCL site.:confused3 On top of that half the time the DIS boards are as slow as dial up was or even worse.:badpc: And this is where I spend most of my computer time. Other sites are fine. It is so frustrating! And being a computer dummy does not help!:eek:

[SeaSickPsycho]

Wow. I am really worried.:sad2: My husband just told me one of our best customers,a greenhouse supplier, had to lay off drivers today. It is due to the drought here in GA. I know I was making light of the prayer service our Gov. had at the state capital yesterday, but this is serious. I am so sad to think of all these great guys being out of work right before the holidays.
A side note, if construction and the rain don't get it together, they might cut into my Disney funds. :eek:

[JsMom2]

:thumbsup2 Thank you for the info. This DVC thing is still so new to me. :goodvibes

Here's a tip...if you decide to do Disney Quest at DTD you can save something like $8 off the ticket price if you are a DVC member! :thumbsup2

They are really bad this year. Maybe it is a sign of a cold winter or something. No, once again it is probably something to do with no rain.:confused:

We have been infested with ladybugs here too for the past few years. I just started to notice them around the windows this week.

Yesterday and today have been absolutely beautiful. Temps in the low 60's. Trees are still pretty. When we get these glorious days I almost think it is worth living in Cleveland! Supposed to get windy, rainy and cold tomorrow. This will be the last warm day until spring.

We have never done Disney Quest. I really don't get what it is all about.

Its an indoor amusement park with lots of virtual reality games and rides. It sounds like fun, and something different. I've heard its best to go when the parks are open, as it gets crowded in the evenings when the parks close early. It can also get pretty crowded on rainy days.

And the one of the best things is that the cafe inside is run by the Cheesecake Factory!!:banana:

If you have little ones it is a ton of fun, it is also fun if you are somewhat into video games. I always do the "draw" classes, and the pirate ride is so much fun... kinda reminds me of the pirate chase here pirate: They also have this buzz lightyear ride where you sit in a "car" and shot "cannons" at the other people but you really need 2 people to do it :) . They have all of the OLD SCHOOL games too which we love :thumbsup2

HI Jennifer!!

[TheTXTaylors5]

:sad2: I am such a bad Mommy. I totally forgot to get the kids concert tickets to see Hannah Montana. I read about her coming months and months ago but had since forgotten about it. The dj on the radio just reminded me that she is in Fort Worth in concert TONIGHT. :scared1: I hope the kids don't get wind of this. Hopefully, they can catch her next time around. :rolleyes1 The tickets sold out within minutes from what I hear. But, I assume 90% of those were to ticket scalpers. I wish they'd do something about that! Just because the people open up a storefront operation, it is still scalping to me!!!!!:mad:

Even DS2 likes Hannah Montana. DD5 got a booklet when she went to BAB. One of the bear outfits was a Hannah Montana outfit. DS2 saw the booklet and was shouting "Montana" with a BIG grin on his face. :love: He's in love.

:sad2: I am such a bad Mommy. I totally forgot to get the kids concert tickets to see Hannah Montana. I read about her coming months and months ago but had since forgotten about it. The dj on the radio just reminded me that she is in Fort Worth in concert TONIGHT. :scared1: I hope the kids don't get wind of this. Hopefully, they can catch her next time around. :rolleyes1 The tickets sold out within minutes from what I hear. But, I assume 90% of those were to ticket scalpers. I wish they'd do something about that! Just because the people open up a storefront operation, it is still scalping to me!!!!!:mad:

I have heard of tickets being sold for 1000's!! Who is crazy enough to spend that much money?? There is a mom in NJ who is suing HM and her companies, because she joined the fanclub and still wasn't able to get kid a ticket. What is teh world coming too???

DrHug had a very close encounter with a thong in the Rainforest. We were in the hot steam room, which is very tight quarters, he was sweating a bunch and so had his eyes closed. He "felt movement" in front of him and opened his eyes to a completely bare rear end and his nose was almost right in it! He was :eek: and immediately closed his eyes again. I was :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: One of my many funny stories about my love. :love: :rotfl: So just be aware that anyone wearing a thong may become the butt of one of our family jokes! :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Edited to say....sorry I just couldn't resist!

I remember that story :lmao: The Rainforest can be a "revealing" place sometimes. I'm not sure what some people are thinking. :rolleyes1

I wonder if on the ship they set up "photography only" lines. Since we are doing the pillow case thing, we will not be worrying about autographs. It really is not like DD at 4 really cares about them, YET.

I don't think I've ever seen the character Tinkerbell out for pics or autographs. Last time we were at WDW we DID see Jiminy Crickett - that was a first for us.

Thank you for answering my question. Wouldn't it be nice for photography only lines. I have heard the lines move pretty fast though. I will be calling the PALS line every night though.

There is a lot of Disney she does not know so there will be some characters we can miss.

Sure you can get the special seats if they have any more. But they will cost you. The scapers have really upped there prices. Cost more than we would want to spend.

Ok.. so.. BAB story time..
When I was hired, I was not aware my Manager was leaving to go to the New Disney Store in Atlantic City for almost double of what BAB was paying him.. :eek:

My friend of 11 years is the Assistant Manager of BAB and was up for the Management position.. Well she was over looked and they hired my current Manager..

Well it seems to be that Noone likes him.. :sad2: Everyone complains about the way he "manages" the Assistant Managers and the other Employees.. He never has the schedule done on time nor is it ever fair to all the employees..

Ok so I found out Yesterday that several people have called the Home Office on him and complained.. Soooooooo tomorrow at 7:30am.. a Big Wig is coming to our store for a Special Meeting... I don't go in til 10 am so who knows if I will meet Mr. Big Wig or not.. but if I do and he asks me.. I have a few things to tell him..

I wish I could be a fly on the wall at their meeting though.. I just hope that when I do get to work.. Everyone isn't in a Bad moood.. I'm glad I should only be there til 1:30..

:rolleyes1

[megalyce]

This whole Hannah Montana thing bugs me. As with all popular concert events, ticket brokers and scalpers buy the tix and resell them WAAAY above face value. Let's be honest, this isn't The Police (which I went to see!) whose average fan has the bucks to spend...these are KIDS and their poor parents.

I wanted to buy as many tix as I could for the show near me in Albany, NY, just so I could give them at face value to some poor kid whose parents can't afford a $500 ticket.

I realize this country is built on the capitalist ideal...but this just takes it too far and kids suffer.

Having teen boys, I don't really follow a lot of the Hannah Montana stuff, although we have been known to watch an episode or two :rolleyes1

I have made some extra cruisin' money selling H.M. shoes and purses on ebay though :woohoo: That stuff sells GREAT! :thumbsup2

I just read a news story about a recent class-action lawsuit against Smiley Miley Inc and someone else regarding the fan club. Apparently when you join one of the benefits is supposed to be better access to tickets, but that obviously isn't happening. :confused:

Nope, although there are some character meetings where they do not sign at all and do only photo, but they do not set up separate lines.

Want to get even madder? The process to get a wheelchair seat and companion seat are this: When the tickets go on sale at ticketmaster you have to email them and request a wheelchair accessable seat. Then you wait for them to email you back, and at that point you hope they reserved you one. Then you confirm you want them and pay for them. It is done by email, you cannot buy them online or stand in line at a ticket outlet.

So, we did just that the day of the presale and did manage to buy 2 tickets at $53.00 each. One for my 15 year old daughter in a wheelchair and one for myself. Then later I went on gotickets.com to see if I could get one more companion seat. They were selling the wheelchair seating right next to us for $260.00!! They went and lied, saying they needed wheelchair seating, then scalped them. So, not only did they use computer software to gobble up all the regular tickets, then they go and lie to get even more tickets. That is pretty scummy. :mad:

[AmberDaClown]

Speaking of eBay. We did some speculating on one of the "Top Ten" toys for Christmas. At least it is not the one that has been recalled. Now though we are thinking of returning them as I still see them in stores, but we are close to Black Friday so we do not know what we are going to do yet.

You sounded bitter earlier so thanks.

Our ebay id is: learningathome

We mostly sell Disney Pins - we go so often and are always trading, so we started selling some on ebay to help support our habit :rotfl2:

My DH's time on his job is uncertain - we're hoping between my company and an ebay biz that we can eventually bring him home fulltime. Of course that would mean we would need to curb our Disney habit, so we could put the money we make into paying bills :rolleyes1

The biggest problem we see with the possibility of being self-employed is the lack of good health insurance. We had a high-deductible policy for several years, as that was all we could afford and his employer didn't offer anything else. 1.5 yrs ago our youngest had to have corrective foot surgeries (one on each foot - 6 mos apart) and we had to pay a $5500 deductible. :scared1:

With his current, albeit temporary position, we have GREAT health insurance. I don't think I want to go back to the way it was :sad2:

(When I run for Prez, this will be one of my "hotbutton" issues, along with making another Federal holiday between President's Day and Memorial Day):cool1:

The answer to this is for parents to stand firm and refuse to pay those prices. If the ticket brokers/scalpers cannot sell them then they won't buy them. Those poor parents who can't afford $500 for tickets to a concert just need to say "sorry we cannot afford to go". I really think a kid missing a Hannah concert is not really suffering. Not having money for breakfast is suffering. There are lots of things we adults would like to do that we cannot afford (round the world cruise for DrHug and I) and learning the lesson as a child that you cannot do everything you want is maybe a good thing.

[TheTXTaylors5]

Amber that is the funniest s*?! I have ever seen (sorry for the language but OMG it was sooooooo funny)

:badpc: I agree! :lmao: I've wanted to throw this computer out the window many times. My favorite is when the man jumps over the desk because the other guy kept throwing things at him and the other men are just sitting there on their phones like nothing is happening. popcorn::

:sad2: No Hannah Montana concert for us this evening. Since this concert is so successful, I am sure she'll be back again. $$$$$$$$$$$ Bill told me to buy DD5 a concert DVD and she can watch that over and over again.:lmao: DD5 had the BEST time at the Gwen Stefani concert this past summer. So, I know she is itching to go to another concert. Her next favorite is Fergie. Maybe, if she comes in concert. I'll surprise DD5 with tickets to that. :idea: Yes, my 5 going on 15 year old daughter likes Gwen Stefani and Fergie. :rolleyes1

Am I the only one in a slight panic mode?

As of now I have two 6 foot tables end to end and some suitcases are on them labeled "girls", "boys", and "Mom/dad". There is a new rack hanging in the laundry room for "cruise clothes". I picked up the Disney medical form from the doctor today and am ready to fax it to the cruise line to authinticate we do need a wheelchair accessable room. 6 of the 7 of us now have some really nice dress clothes due to some great consignment shops and some super sales. 5 passports are in (yes I know we don't HAVE to have them), and I'll send the #'s to Disney later tonight. Pick up the dry cleaning tomorrow, started making the room lists (toiletries, etc) times 3 rooms, started packing the "medical" suitcase, last night got the hotel reservations in Kissimmee for the 7th, MVMCP tickets came yesterday, tomorrow is my last day off until Tuesday, did I mention I am a part time cake decorator at a VERY busy store and was told that instead of my 20 hours a week I should expect to put in 50 hours between now and Thanksgiving?, squeeze in a Hannah Montana concert (Monday) which is 2 hours away, picked up two mickey mouse ties at JC Penny's today, and then the thought accured to me... if we all get to bring 2 suitcases, how would I ever fit 7 people and 14 suitcases in my van????? :eek:

Is it time to panic yet????

The boys wanted to see hannah too but they have seen raven and Aly & AJ at six flags, we always get season passes and on the day of the show you get free tickets :)
