Good morning everyone - happy Thursday.
Just finally getting around to checking back in on our cruise. I realized that our trip was in under 5 months and I haven't been posting on our thread since back in Oct/Nov right after I booked the trip. Bad Diser!!! I see that I have a ton of posts to catch up on but thankfully I have a few months to get them all read and get into the swing of things. I am just getting ready to book our pre-night on Saturday. Are most of the disers staying at one place. I would like to try and make some of the pre-cruise meets as they sound really fun.
I am ready to be on that boat today I tell you.
So glad you checked in with us. When I saw your post on the main board I thought you had posted before but wasn't sure. That's why I posted the link. Especially since we moved to this new thread.
I wanted to say thank you for the kind words for Kyle. I have not had a chance to show him all your Get Well Wishes yet but he'll be happy to see them.
I have to take him to get his cast on tomorrow. The big decision is ...What color cast to get. Wouldn't that be great if that was the only major decision in our life. The color of our cast.
Thanks again.
Have a good night.
How about DIS lime green.
What one thing haven't you done that you want to try this time? The galley tour. Do they do that on the member cruise?
Have you been on a DVC Member cruise before?
If no:
What have you read about that you can't wait to see or try? I am hoping that there are legends on this one like the last one I read about. That would be awesome!!
What one question have you had that you just didn't know where or how to ask? (we're here to help) In addition to the special shows and gatherings for it being a member cruise do they still offer the regular shows. I haven't seen Toy Story yet and am excited to.
Looking at the navigators from last years cruise they did offer the Galley Tour on our sea day. This was at the same time as a DVC presentation so you may have to make a choice.
The Legends were 2 years ago. Last year was Disney Inspirations, but I felt some of them were still legendary.
They do offer the regular shows but some are replaced by special DVC shows. In 2007 they had two special nighttime shows but last year only the last night. Last year they showed The Golden Mickeys, Toy Story The Musical, and Disney Dreams.
Well, my wife would about die if Julie Andrews were there, and I'm all about keeping her (my wife) happy
I would love it too but would be really surprised if it happened. I thought I heard at one point that they tried but couldn't get her.
Bad news, while I was out having my knees replaced, the hospital had to cut 20 positions for budget cuts....mine was first to go. So now we have no wound care specialist and no ostomy nurse. I feel so terrible for the ostomy patients. Caring for someon with a colostomy or ileostomy is more than cutting a hole in a wafer and putting on a pouch. The expertise it takes to take care of issues with extensive wounds and ostomies is unappreciated by doctors and administrators. I still have a job, I am now working with the orthopedic surgeon...not using my brain at all, however.
In our town they also cut the wound/ostomy nurse position. So, I suppose this is becoming a trend. I hope all of the patients who are in need write letters to administration, or go to their congressmen...I work in a Veteran's hospital.
Of course, I cried and cried for weeks...and I would just burst into tears when anyone brought it up to me. I am better now, but it has consumed my life for months now. I just pray about it, that's all I can do.
So, I was going to work until I am 65, but now I will probably retire at 62 and I am 59 now. Unless I end up in a job that I love, that is.

It is very hard when cuts are made for both sides. Those cut are out of work and we all know how hard that is. Those left behind often take on more work or other work like you and that is also hard.
Morning everyone!
Looks like it is going to be a nice day here.
I worked Overtime yesterday and I am going to do it today to. I am happy for that.
take care and have a great day.

Congrats on the overtime. Always makes that paycheck a little nicer. I'm salaried so it doesn't matter how long I work.
Looking forward to getting back to work today as sitting all day made the day looooooong.
Just wanted to post since it is the middle of April and it seams everyone is starting to shop.

Question for everyone....do we want to set a cut-off date for sign-up on this. We did this last year which gave everyone a chance to have them all made in time. It seems that we always get some people popping in at the last minute and that makes it hard for everyone. I know what Linda (seaulater) has done for us in the past is to put in the mini-nav she does who is participating. Those who signed up before the deadline got a Nemo and those who signed up late got a Crush. That way if anyone had extras to give to those people they knew who they were.
I know we'll be setting up a cut-off for the buttons - most likely August 21st.
to even out my group. 
instead.
