Wow, had to go to page 2 on the cruise section to find this link. Quiet today. Just checking the itinerary for Sat, meet up. Can't wait to also fo to my favorite store Lush. It will be fun meeting everyone for the first time. So nice we live so close.

Kelly - I am so jealous! I want to go on the Dream NOW!!!! But I have to wait until September. Guess I shouldn't complain...I know there are people who want to go on it that aren't even booked. At least I'm one step ahead of them.

We are supposed to go out shopping for FE gifts today. BUT...DD got sick before school this morning. (They had a snow make up day today) She's sleeping now...but hopefully when she wakes up she'll feel better and we can go shopping. She seemed fine, no fever or anything but she was afraid of getting sick again when she was at school. Poor thing!

Hope Emilee is feeling better. Three of my nephews and my BIL have strep throat right now. I have had anywhere between 2-6 kids out the past two weeks at school. Something is definitely going around.

Did you say you are staying two nights in Schaumburg?? I am trying to get Jim to agree to that. We will see though. I like Springhill Suites.

Good morning. How is everyone today?

We were successful at the 7 month mark in getting a studio for the three nights following the cruise at BWV. So we are staying at BCV on the Night prior, then cruising with all of you fine folks, and enjoying the week end at WDW. A few ADRs to make in March and then the countdown to cruising.

 

[calypso726]

Our "after cruise" stay is now a done deal We switched over to BLT and have LV studio from the 22nd through the 25th.

 

[TIGGERmetoo]

Awesome Terrie. Looks like we're going to have a quite a group at BLT post cruise.

That's EXACTLY what we did today! Got a LV at BLT for the 22nd thru 25th.

It appears that Andy has some updating to do on the before and after the cruise tally board. Congrats to all the 7 month reservations.

Emilee went to the Dr. today and she has strep throat AGAIN! I kind of thought that's what she had because all the symptoms were the same as the last time she had it. But she seems to feel just fine! So, since she'll have three doses of antibiotics before school starts tomorrow, she's going back to school tomorrow.

Yep, we're staying Fri & Sat nights in Schaumburg.

Good morning. How is everyone today?

I had a very long boring day at work, but other than that I'm doing ok. Spring is less than a month away now!

Yeah it sure does!!! So psyched! Yay Debbie! I am glad that Shawn doesn't have to worry about playing Mission Impossible this year and sneaking me and Wally up to ToTWL to view fireworks post cruise

I forgot about that! I'm glad that we know not to book 7:30 reservations at Le Cellier this year so we don't have to inhale our steak and rush back to miss the beginning of the fireworks!

Thank you Andy for keeping track of this for our group It looks like the after cruise party will be at BLT If we are nice maybe they will invite us to visit

LOL, fat chance! They will be sitting up on the TOTWL looking down on us and laughing...

This morning I decided that instead of flying home straight from the ship, I would spend one additional night at a resort to have a relaxing day of poolside bliss. Having stayed at AKV before and since I will be there prior to the trip I booked one night there. Now I am looking at this and thinking that maybe I should have booked one or more nights at BLT instead. Oh well, I guess I will get Calypso to hide me in her new DCL D&B bag and sneak me up top for the fireworks

Andy, you take all the fun out of trolling for a joke. Problem is, I only understand the second half of the double entendre. I have no idea what the 'house of beaver' means. Uh ... never mind, figured it out.

I meant to PM you....I really did....ummmm....I just sort of forgot! Sorry! Thank you for updating the list!! I'm looking forward to this trip too!
