09/13/09 SSMC09 S.S. Member Cruise 2009

[WDWLVR]

Mary, thanks for popping us in the roll call. I can't tell you how excited we are to be going w/everyone!

You are very welcome. I love seeing the growing number of partipants and I love that so many are sharing their photos. It is a great way to get to know each other before sailing and I've found that it makes the meets and the time on the ship even more fun when you recognize DIS friends.

They also give a holiday item at the member mixer in Dec. as well.

Well I'm not Flo but I can answer. Woodfield is a large shopping mall in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago (Schaumburg, IL to be exact). About a year and a half ago DVC opened up a store front called Doorway to Dreams to sell DVC. You can take a tour of both a one bedroom and studio model and talk to sales reps just as if you were at WDW. They currently have AKV models but I hear they are being switched over to BLT models. They also currently have special incentive drives and events.

Thanks Mary

AnnMarie, No I wish I could come but my schedule doesn't permit it.
(The cruise is before the Jewish holydays)

I'm just hanging around. Riff raff.

Oh! That's too bad. I work with someone who mentioned the same thing. She gets very upset when our own company plans an important event on the Jewish Holidays and wishes others would take on the calendars of all faiths! Hopefully, I'll get to see you again at some point!

Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on getting an ES I keep forgetting about these things. I am just having some health issues and can't sleep at night so I will log back in to see who is here. I am determined to get through this!

Annmarie,

on your health issues. We will help you get through it. I usually am up at night. I go to bed and I toss and turn. It runs on my father’s side of the family I am told. That is why I like having a veranda when we cruise. I go sit out there. It is nice and peaceful at night. My cousins are like that to. So I get up and log back on the DIS. So most night I will be there we can go back and forth like last night. I enjoyed it.

That's so cool! We'll have to talk about what we're doing while we're there. We've never done anything like it so we're real newbies at Europe travel. But that's one of the wonderful things about the DIS; you can always find help.

Thanks! DH doesn't like it when I'm up all night but I have saved this thread to my iphone so I can be online while he is sleeping.

I had PT today and go back to see the Neurologist tomorrow. Then I go back in 10 days for more tests. Like I tell people I work with . . . A month ago I was in a wheelchair and 3 weeks ago I started using a cane to get around. Then the following week I was able to wear shoes instead of sneakers these have been a lot of baby steps. Every step forward is one less I want to go back.

I posted a terrible issue I had while in my wheel hair wheb we were at WDW on the DISabilities board i cant believe how terrible some people can be.

I guess better late then never...My wife and I will be on the S.S. Member Cruise 2009. We joined while on our second cruise by buying in to Animal Kingdom Villas. I called in on the phone lines and was on hold for 1 hour 45 min. to get aboard the ship. we are looking forward to enjoying our next 50 years with the DVC...to everyone else...Welcome Home!

It sounds like they have you heading in the right direction.
I also agree people can be VERY insensitive
Wishing you the best of luck with your tests

Annmarie! Here' hoping each day gets better and better for you. It sounds like you are making good steady progress but I'm sure it is still painful and frustrating. If it helps focus on the fact that in Sept you'll be able to wiggle your toes in the sands at Castawy Cay!

Welcome Home to DVC and welcome aboard SSMC09! To get caught up you can read the first post in the thread. That will tell you what we as a DIS group have planned and will also give you a link to our group website. Looking forward to getting to know you and sailing with you in September.


Member Gallery Update!

Ok this mornings is a small one. Monika (Time4DisneyNow) got her cabin assignment from DVC so that has been added to the gallery.

Hello and welcome. You will have a great time on the cruise. I know on our first, and only DVC member cruise in 2007 we had a great time. We are so looking forward to this one. It will be just me and the DH. We are leaving the kids at home this time. Woo Hoo!

Happy Wednesday!

 

[WDWLVR]

So I asked this on last years thread and got a few people. Anyone here on Facebook? If so and you'd like to be a friend I'm Mary Gums on facebook. BTW did you know that there is an official DIS facebook page?

 

[Eeyores#1Fan]

We will not be on the SSM09 but wanted to stop by and say Hi and Congrats to all those that survived the phone lines on Nov. 2nd.

 

[seaulater]

Hi all! Planning on the 2009 SSMC! I don't know my stateroom number, don't know any details yet, except I know I have a Cat. 7 with a navigator's verandah and it will be me, Linda, and I'll be bringing someone along, but don't know who quite yet!

Okay, auditors coming soon, back to work. I'll check in periodically.

P.S. Mentioned to Mary I'd be more than happy to do the mini nav's again.
