Mrs. Happycamper:

Once people have had a chance to put their name on the list I'll work with folks to figure out how the split would work.

Could you add me to the Palo list as well? I missed out on this earlier due to the Hawaii trip.

Luckymomoftwo:

If anyone else wants to be linked so that we are all on the same dining rotation and eating at tables near each other, please send me a PM so I can compile a list. ALSO if you are doing the B2B and want dining linked for the first cruise, too, please let me know in the PM.

Will send you a PM as well, but I'd like to link dining for our family. 2 adults and 2 teen boys. We're on the 9/15 B2B, but we have main dining for that part of the trip.

Karen's the only one I know, but she's in Hawaii (hopefully taking nice pictures for us).

I wonder when Karen gets back from Hawaii...Hope she got to see Aluni site.

Yes, I have lots of pics (I took 750, but won't make you look at all of them!) and I did get over to Aulani and took a bunch of pics there. It's really going to be beautiful when it's done.

I got home in the wee hours on Sunday and crashed half the day. Spent Monday doing nothing and then went to a Dr's appt on Tuesday. The doc convinced me to have a flu shot. Bit mistake. Two hours later I started coughing, followed by runny nose, sinus headache, body aches, fever, chills, cold sweats and all sorts of other unpleasantness. I'm only starting to feel better now. That's the last time they talk me into a flu shot. No way, no how am I going through that again!

I haven't even finished unpacking yet. I'll try to get my pics uploaded and a brief trip report written and I'll let you know where I post it.

Am I the only one from Cali?
My guide @ Disneyland told me that I'm the only one (of her members) she knows of that got through for the SSMC 2011.

Not in Cali, but Oregon. Who's your guide? I'm not 100% sure who mine even is. The first person I had contact with was out on vacation when we decided to buy. So, we bought through someone else. But, we still get mailings from the first guide. So, I'm not sure who our contact is.

Good morning everyone! Will be a cold one today in IL. Stay warm. Hope everyone has a great day! I am working this weekend so hoping it's not too crazy. My job is to bring in the new admissions at the hospital where I work. I have to get into work this afternoon since our dept is dressing up for the Halloween contest. Have fun today!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE
I WISH I WAS SITTING ON CC WITH MY KONK KOOLERS, SPECIALLY FROM THE 2 FOR 1 BAR NEAR THE FAMILY BEACH

Good morning and happy Friday, all you SSMC disboarders!

Maybe corporate is just changing payroll systems or something. I'll keep good thoughts for you.

Thanks Terri! I appreciate that! I hope you're right about the changing of payroll systems.

Yeah, or THEY have time off/Halloween party and YOU aren't allowed.

Now that would be just downright evil of them!

Just getting a chance to get on here again. I left off on page 5 and ya'll are already on page 29. Wow. I have the whole weekend off for my birthday. Im really excited because I don't get that many days off in a row very often. I hope this weekend goes by nice and slow. Also hope everyone else has a great weekend as well.

I hope your weekend is full of birthday fun!!! And I hope it goes by slow and you enjoy and savor every moment!!

Actually, I think it has finally slowed down a bit over the last week. Not that I'm helping to keep it at a moderate pace though. Just wait 'til there is some breaking news about the new ship. And after some people have sailed on her for the first time, and begin sending out photos and reports.

OOOOHHHHHH!!!! I cannot WAIT to see some REAL pictures of the new ship!!!!

I said to one guy, "So if you're a pirate, where's your Buccaneers?" He said, "Their under my Buckin' Hat, mister".

Will send you a PM as well, but I'd like to link dining for our family. 2 adults and 2 teen boys. We're on the 9/15 B2B, but we have main dining for that part of the trip.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience with the Flu shot. Hope you had a wonderful trip! Can't wait to see pictures!!

I hope the weekend isn't too crazy for you, too! I'm assuming when you get busy that means there are a lot of sick/hurt people.

If you're participating in the Halloween contest....Good Luck!!!

If you close your eyes and look a little to the left, that's me on the hammock with my Konk Kooler under the palm tree. I'm there alot. (at least in my mind)

Man, I can't believe it. My DW has been here since last night, and hasn't even looked in the garage at the shelves I built. A lot of extra work to sand and paint them, because she wanted them painted to match the garage. At most I would have just stained them because I like the look of wood.

 

[Hoosier John]

Hi John

Hi Wally, must have just missed you last night.
Loved the script
Have a great time at Disney!

Just checking in to say HI!! We still haven't heard from the waitlist, but we're still hopeful!! I did see that a couple have heard from the waitlist, so I'm just waiting, waiting!!!

Here's some pixie dust to help the waitlist to come through.

Hi Amy,

Hang in there. We were on the Wait List for the SSMC 2010 until about 2 or 3 months prior to sailing. The only bad thing was, being unsure if we were even going, I never bothered posting here. Then I was too far behind to catch up and meet everyone. You're way ahead of the game by staying in touch with us. I'm pretty sure your "ship will come in."

Besides that ... I've already included you with people from Florida going on the cruise (and posting here) in the list of who is from where. I re-post it every now and then as new people join the forum. I think it is kind of interesting knowing how many people are from your state or region, what areas have strong/weak representation, and how far away people are coming from.

Hey everyone I kicked butt tonight! Made Seared Ahi Tuna, Braised Short Ribs with Wasabi Mashed Potatoes and Spicy Lamb in a pita For all the Democrats in Queens. They loved it i'm so happy.

What's for dinner on election day? We'll bring the wine!

Thank you! I started it off taking my DS to the doctor and then we went to the McDonalds play place and now we are laying down for a much needed nap!

The OP on the thread I posted above just posted an update that they have opened the water doors into the dock where the Dream is sitting and the ship is actually floating in the water right now!!!!! I can't wait to see all the pictures that people will be posting tomorrow as the ship actually floats out into the water!!!!

Just checking in to say HI!! We still haven't heard from the waitlist, but we're still hopeful!! I did see that a couple have heard from the waitlist, so I'm just waiting, waiting!!!

Here's some to help make your waitlist come through.
