TinkerbellTris-

I have another option concerning dolphins. To the group, please do not start throwing things at poor Dennis, I know I am going to be uttering profanity here in a minute, my apologies.

Have you done Discovery Cove (Sea World) here in Orlando yet? All inclusive park, swim with the dolphins, swim with a bunch of sea life. The park is all inclusive, hefty price tag, only so many people are allowed in each day. I beleive you still get unlimited park access to SW for a few days as well.

Hope all is well

I can afford that if I can stay with you instead of at WDW resort. Only Kidding.

I did look at that and you are right it is prices but looks like a good time. I don't remember what all was included but it was way more than half an hour with the dolphins. For those of you who really want to swim with the dolphins this might be an option. I have only heard on complain about the place and that was the cost. Thanks for posting the info.

Good morning everyone. The keeper of the list is writing at you now. I have been asked to do one more list and that will be one for the leis. Ladyemmaann and I will attempt to get a total of leis needed and then order them. I believe they will be about one dollar each. We both think the best way to do this is for us to pay up front and for every one to pay us when you pick up their leis.

Pick up locations: Ladyemmaann will be at MCO on Friday night. Being at the airport she can get to the port sooner and then hopfully at the Mickey pool at 3PM

Myself will be at the WDW meet on the 7th and at the port a little later and I will try to get to the Mickey pool meet but I need to eat first. Not sure when we will be done.

Here is what I need for every one: I need to know who you are (can use screen name) and how many you would like to order for your group. I will then complete a new list on the dining link. Once I have that done I will post and then I need each of you to double check that I have it right.

I am going to try to contact those who have not posted for a little while. In fact I will most likely PM each of you with one last request for your stateroom number etc. I want to try to have as much information as possible on the roster before we sail.

Will be in contact, The keeper of the lists.

Morning all, not good news. My grandmother (who's also on this cruise) went to the ER with chest pains the 2 days ago. HEr EKG was normal, they held her overnight and sent her to the cath lab this AM for a heart cath. She just got out and they say she has the heart of someone 20 years her junior. They 'think' she was just having spasms and are sending her home later this afternoon. Please send positive thoughts (or prayers if you pray) to her for me. She's the pillar of our family and I don't know what we would do without her. I guess you can love someone so much you just never think anything will ever happen to them. Her name is Mary Wright, for prayer list purposes. Thank you!

She will be added to the prayer list with Twin Princesses' neighbor, Ladyemmaann's mother and my mother in law. I believe in the power of prayer or positive thought. Do take care and enjoy the time God has alloted us with those we love. We never know when we will lose them and I am very glad I knew that my mother was going to die. I used the time she had left to mend any broken pieces and to make peace with her loss. I will also keep you and the rest of your family in my prayers so that you might have peace of mind no matter what is placed on your plate. It sounds as if this might have been just a wake up call and that there is nothing major going on at this time. Please keep us posted and let us know if there is anything more than prayers needed. Do take care. Looking forward to meeting your strenght in September. Lois

 

[PrettyInTink]

Thank you Lois. I believe in the power of prayer as well. All seems to be ok right now. I'll keep you posted as I hear. I just wish I was at home to help. We went back to work Wednesday.

[PrettyInTink]

Thank you, OtherAnn.
I know that when you lift someone up in prayer and powerful thoughts, mountains can be moved. My mom (a RN) is with her now and says she seems to be ok. They are prescribing her nitro tabs for the next time she has the pains. DR says it could be the heat as well. Its been 100 degrees for the past couple of weeks and she loves to be outdoors. She just needs to take it easy.

Oh Goddess of the List,
Good line huh!

You can put the 2 of us in for the leis.
I'll have the wristbands with me. I can give them out at MCO on Friday night, but more like Saturday morning before the busses arrive.. All of them will be set up for each family.
So if anyone else wants our Dis Board Green wrist bands PLEASE contact me, give me your disboard name and how many.

Let's go out and have a great weekend.

No we have not tried Dolphin Cove. I checked it out, and yes hefty price tag, but then we chose to just do universal at the end of the cruise instead. I think we might just bite the bullet, and do the thing on Cozumel. It will still with Taxi run us around $486 for 3 of us, but the disney one that's offered just does not impress me for the money. When I really researched it it ended up being 20 minutes in the water on a platform touching the dolphin, and thats it. Unfortunatly in 2001 I did this in Hawaii and felt very cheated for the price we payed. So I guess I will suck it up and pay. They say you have to book as early as possible becasue the one in Cozumel is so popular. Thank you for your advice, and quick response.

Tink-

Sorry to hear the bad news.

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt and a whole lot more. 5 weeks before our Alaskan cruise last year I came home to find a business card form the Orange County sherrifs department asking me to call a number. Of course I recognized the area code of my father (in Wisconsin). Turns out the number was for the morgue. My father (who was going on the cruise with us) had a massive coronary and found passed away that morning. Needless to say, not a fan of the Sherrifs department here. The cruise went on, life went on, neither the same as before the call.

We both offer our thoughts and prayers.

Hope all is well-

Possitive thoughts from others and their prayers are some times the ez part. It is you being in this with your loved one and keeping the possive thoughts that is hard.
You and yours have our thoughts and prayers. Let us Dis lift you all up until you re find the strenght..

 

[PrettyInTink]

I can not tell you how much the prayers and thoughts mean to me. My Nanny is resting at home, very tired, but that is to be expected. She told my mom to let me know she needed a vacation! This cruise with her and my Papa is so much more than a vacation. Its a dream come true! I can't wait until I get to see their faces as I walk onto the ship with them. I get teary eyed thinking about it. Thanks again, prayer is powerful, and appreciated more than you will ever know.

I hope your grandmother is feeling better soon!!!

Bareacuda, you can put me down for 2 wristbands and I'll pick up the 3 for Twin Princesses. Maybe I will give Ladyemmaann the money and she can pick them up at the MCO meet. Thank you for doing that. Lois

You got it. Do you want the money now or on the ship. How much are they going to be anyhow? I forget.

 

[Bareacuda]

Lois,
You can pay me on the ship if you want. The cost is $1.50 per wristband. I'll put them in family groups, so all you'll have to do is give me your DisName. Im a bit of an over planner.

Thanks for the order!
