We had a great weekend Marsha. Didn't do much of anything but enjoy being home and outside. We had really nice weather so we did some work in the yard and around the pool.

It is supposed to be a pretty nice week here as well. High's in the 70's.

My eyes are tired from trying to catch up. Surgery went well and cleared to get back into normal activities. To all the birthdays I missed Happy birthday. Dopeygirl my wife and I were in tears laughing at your tr. Not at you or because your family at times drove you crazy but because we had the same thing the first and only time we took everyone. We stayed in a grand villa over the holidays and it was pure heck. My father in law is a wanderer and we would turn around and he was gone. Found him one time in line to see peter pan and wendy. Then once he was checking out the Jasmine character. To funny. My wife was saying you remind her of me as I help plan trips for friends and family and I think my Pamphlet is up to 15 pages lol. We are going again around holidays and they have asked if they can tag along. Ummmm sure but they have to get their own place as I can't afford more than a studio this time and we are morning people and got tired of waiting for them to get ready in the morning. Thanks for bringing back stressfull but fun time by your tr. Congrats on making it through. Welcome to those that have joined the thread. Awesome people here with great information!!!

Scooter 7487 you reminded me of the time we "lost" my father in the MK-we went on the "People Mover" up high thinking we could see him. We did. He was talking to the CM trimming the bushes !!! My DD yelled "POP POP don't move". He is no longer with us but, this remains one of our favorite POP POP stories.

Hello all. I am so glad to be home. It was such a beautiful day but I spent all day in the courthouse. I was there from 9:15 - 8:00. Most of my time was spent waiting. I have another long day tomorrow. I have to be at the dentist first thing tomorrow morning and then meetings most of the day. This week is going to be hectic. But, I am going to try to enjoy the weather and not work too hard. I hope everyone has a great week.

The weather is supposed to be nice here this week too. Then we are supposed to be getting rain this weekend.

Marsha - hope your dentist appt went well today!

We're getting ready to go to North/South Carolina tomorrow night for a long weekend. My BFF lives in Rock Hill, SC and her parents live in Charlotte, NC, so we'll be back and forth between SC & NC. Thursday night me, my BFF, and her mom are going to a BON JOVI concert!!!! Bon Jovi is my second passion, and hopefully nobody here really needs to ask what my first passion is.

The dentist appointment went well today - routine cleaning and no cavities.

Have a safe trip to the Carolinas. Have fun at the Bon Jovi concert. I know you will.

 

[dvc4life]

Bon Jovi brings back lots of memories from College. Have a great time with your friends. And safe travels to you.

Ok, I am not sure this has been discussed and I am sure it is somewhere on the DIS boards. So sorry in advance. I am a planner so even though we are over 20 weeks out I am trying to get things set up. Plane tickets (done), List of activities I want to sign up for (done) DVC reservations (done) babysitter (done).

I was on cruiseline plan site last night and I can't sign up till june 29th for activities or palo. Guess where I will be on the 29th. On a plane to WDW.

So here are my questions:

I can't find area to sign up for transfers from WL to port and port to Airport?

The plan site is asking for air travel plan but was thinking I should not do that because I was going to WL friday and sat then leaving from wl to port sunday. Should I still do that part and also magical express?

Since I am traveling on the day I can request activites during the cruise can my DVC agent handle reservations for me?

Has anyone done the spa treatments? Are they worth the money? Thought it would be cool to sit in hottub while we are cruising Wed. But my wallet ran away when I saw the price. This is a celebration for my DW 40th birthday so want to make it special but if there are any other suggestions vs the spa please let me know.

Ok cool news my school is having a Disney day on Friday. Not sure why but we are to dress up in our disney stuff or disney character. You should see the e-mails from the teachers and staff asking if I set this up. No but it is gonna be cool. Not sure how I am gonna dress because I wear disney stuff a couple times a week. Have my Mickey shirt on today.

Thanks for the help.

I'm a planner too, as I think most of us are, so need to apologize.

I do not know what time you are leaving for WDW but if you log in at 12:00 a.m. on June 29, you will be able to make reservations. I was up at midnight last year making reservations for Palo brunch and Flounder's Reef Nursery.

So here are my questions:

I can't find area to sign up for transfers from WL to port and port to Airport?
I think DVC reservations will be able to help you with this.

The plan site is asking for air travel plan but was thinking I should not do that because I was going to WL friday and sat then leaving from wl to port sunday. Should I still do that part and also magical express?

I hope the above answers help you a little bit. Since we do not fly to WDW & DCL I do not have the answer about magical express and filling out the other documents.

I too was thinking about doing a spa treatment but I don't know if a spa treatment is worth the price. Some have raved abot the spa and say visiting the spa is a must because it is so relaxing and well worth it.

Let us know what you wear for Disney day at your school. What a terrific idea. It should be fun to see what people wear.

does anyone know if you have to put a credit card on file or can you just make a cash account when you get onboard like on other cruise lines?
