Night night Wally. You have a great weekend two. Say hi to Duffy's mommy for me.

Holy crap!! I am an elementary school teacher and I spelled the word "too" wrong. YIkes....now I know I need to go to bed.

 

[W@LL-E]

I've been working on my trip itinerary. Wish September's calendar was out already!

What are you thinking about?

 

[DizDragonfly]

I would, but she's screaming / crying over "The Hunger Games" on her kindle.

Sounds like a must read to me!

And it was "two" too! I'll sometimes flip "to and "too" and "your" an "you're". You just get to typing and forget!

She tells me it's good. 100 days until we're on the Dream

That's why I use "also".

Oh, just trying to fit more in than we have days to do. I want to get in 2 MK, 2 EP, 2 DHS, 1 AK, 1 water park and 1 Disney Quest. But, I'm trying not to exhaust us either. My boys say to exhaust us, because then we're doing the cruise for a week and that will be "relaxing".

Lucky!! We'll want a full report!

WOW, that itinerary just sounds exhausting
but I guess since you don't come over to the east coast often...it's OK

 

[DizDragonfly]

Ok, off to find my snack and then on to bed. Have a great night, Wally!!

G'nite Karen...Enjoy your weekend.

I know! It's too much. But, what do I cut? If I only get out there every three years or so? Ok, off to bed for sure now.

Wow, you guys were busy on here last night! It made for some fun reading this morning, though!

I AM!!! :-( Now Junior is talking about possibly canceling our March WDW trip, so I'll really be going through Disney withdrawal! We'll see what happens. But we have to decide here REAL soon before we hit 31 days!!!

So Junior came home from work last night and said "Seven more weeks!" So maybe he doesn't want to cancel the March vacation!?

hmmm thinking about my fish extender... went a looking for stuff to make it... and tomorrow going to Hobby Lobby for more idea's...

I was in full force planning mode with my FE stuff until the holidays. I need to get back into planning mode with that again!

Ok fellow dvc dream cruisers,
Finally think I have this figured out. We are going to fly a day early and get a shuttle to port canaveral to Country inn& suites. stay over and get a shuttle service from the hotel to the port in the morning. now we have to figure out after we get off the cruise how to get to disney. now will we be able to get a disney bus to take us to disney? is there a charge for this service or is it free. I cannot imagine then driving us an hour and not being paid for this.Will they take us directly to disney to our resort or will we have to go to the airport and transfer to a disney bus? First time for this so I am concerned about travel to and from. Can anybody answer my questions here?
Also, what kind of incentives do you get daily on this dvc cruise? First time being a dvc member and first time on a disney cruise ship. thanks to all your input. sandy.

How many of you are there? Disney charges around $50 (or more) per person to ride that bus back to WDW. You may want to check into Mears transportation. One advantage to Mears is they leave the port a little quicker which means you get to WDW a little quicker. AND...they don't make as many stops as the Disney buses to all the different resorts.

DVC also has incentives for adding on to your membership. They are usually the best deals you'll ever find with discounted points and freebies (we got a $750 visa card and a beautiful Beauty & The Beast painting).

Sorry, have a Great Weekend..

You too!

I can do this, I am a winner.... right?

Of course you're a winner!!!!!

short weather for me about now... we will call you guys so you can say hi to everyone....

That's a good idea!!!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's

PC
CC
Sea Day
CC
PC

But, I could be wrong ...

I totally hope you are right!!!

Karen is right....that's what the itinerary was on the 2010 Members Cruise.

Did I hear someone asking for me? ...

 

[DizDragonfly]

Karen is right....

That's what I like to hear.

Good morning! I slept for three hours and then woke up. I figure if I crack open a book that I'll fall asleep here pretty quick again. But, I thought I'd check email first.

Thought you guys might enjoy this...I found it on another thread.

we go in May with Terri and Wally...

YAY can't wait!!!!

oh yes yes yes, that reminds me I need to get hair done and pedicure,,, yep gonna still wear flip flops... and jeans.

It's in the 80's here again, so back in flip flops

Cool!! I'm gonna wear flip flops & jeans too! We'll all look like teenage wanna-be's LOL!!!!! (Ya don't typically see adults wearing jeans and flip flops, do you?)

I'm not sure about the rest of the country but in Florida you certainly do. Flips flops for everybody!

I see that. Wow!! Good for her. I may just go out and buy a few of the ones she recommended.

I've been listening to The Black Dagger Brotherhood series in the car. That's the one with the hot vampires. I am also reading The Hunger Games series on the Kindle which is very good but heartwrenching. The story is set in a not too distant future after the collapse of North America which has now become Panem. Panem consists of a Capitol and 12 districts. The people in the Capitol live in luxury, want for nothing, have no hardships and are very shallow and entitled as such. They are supported by industries of the 12 districts whose people frequently starve to death and have no medical care. Every year the Capitol selects two children one boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts to compete in "The Hunger Games" a reality show which is televised throughout Panem. The winner of The Hunger Games is the last one of the 24 left alive. They have to hunt and kill each other, try to survive the elements and also the traps set forth by The Capitol.

I am half way through the third and final book in the series. It's one of those, can't put it down books.

Ok - I have a question for the B2B cruisers:

I was just thinking about this. DCL offers the B2B cruisers to be able to exit the ship and the re-board right away without waiting till noon. The first leg of our B2B on 9/15 when we enter the terminal we will see it all decorated for the Dream's inaugural year, and if we re-board right away on 9/18 without going back through the terminal, we'll miss all the SSMember Cruise decorations in the terminal.

So, with that said, how many of you are going to take advantage of just re-boarding right away and having an empty ship all to yourself? And how many of you are going to go back into the terminal to get pictures of the terminal decorated with SSMember Cruise stuff? I know...I know...decisions...decisions.

HI TERRIE!!!!! How are ya?

 

[calypso726]

HI TERRIE!!!!! How are ya?

Hi Debbie!!! Doing all right I suppose. We are still in the process of updating things (in terms of Feng Shui) for the New Year, year of the rabbit. I don't mind since it gives me an excuse to get in my car and listen to my latest book addiction LOL How are you guys doin?
