Who's getting the next one?

Congrats on the pirate!!!!

 

[acourtwdw]

That was pure luck! No skill in that at all. It could have been any of us for that pirate.

Luck or skill it ALL counts...LOL

Who's getting the next one?

Congrats Annette!

 

[acourtwdw]

Has anyone stayed at WL? We are hoping for a couple of days in December to use up some points we can't bank. Any reviews?

WOW it must be the week for injuries. I was injured while at work this weekend. Actually had a patient beat me up. Not his fault seeing how he has mental retardation, but I was silly and put my body inbetween his head and the ground, the 2 objects that he was trying to connect. Ended up spending 4 hours in the Emergency room, which isn't bad seeing how I work there. Usually the wait is like 6-7 hours. Our emergency room is very slow unless you are a gunshot victim or are having chest pain.

I went into OCC health today and the MD ticked me off. He said he was surprised that I got injured by a patient hitting me in my stomach. DHHH he had a very hard head! All is good though and I can return to work tonight. YEAHHHH!

I am so excited about the trip. The kids are also. Will be wonderful to sit and relax and not worry about anything.

On an up note....anyone doing the MNNSHP??? We will be in Orlando the 25th and 26th. We did the VMCP, was not 100% thrilled with it. Any suggestions on if we should do it or not?? Is it worth the $$?? Do we get a discount as DVC members??

Thanks!

I'm trying not to hog all the pirates but the competitive side of me comes out and I can't help myself!

We have done both and like the MNSSHP so much better than the MVMCP. The parade and the fireworks are worth the $$$. We are doing it on the 19th and I think Cobbler(Mandy) and family is doing it on the 26th. There are rumors of full size candy bars floating around the boards. Not saying that is why you should go, but (insert Homer Simpson voice here) CHOCOLATE.

 

[dejnosluvmickey]

Well that is good to know. I figured it was Disney and would be worth it, I already picked up every day that I had off between now and the cruise to pay for the tickets. And have some spending $$ for after=) good thing I got a really good deal on the room after the cruise. I hate to say it, we are staying off Disney =( It breaks my heart, but there were no rooms left together at WDW. Not even at the value resorts. We got a 2 bedroom condo for 2 nights for a little over $200. Not bad.

Hubby must now realize that because I'm working every night between now and then that he is now responsible for all packing and getting things ready to go =) I knew I would get out of packing somehow.

Do the kids get to dress up for the MNNSHP? If so that will add to the list for hubby to do. AH HA HA <----very evil laugh.

Any guess on when they will update the site? We are 18 days out! and not much info.

I went digging through old notes- last year it was about a week out from the cruise that they updated the website. The update didn't even then directly name names but gave really blatant hints.

As was said, I'd really appreciate names outright more than some guessing game so we can bring appropriate memorabilia for them. We have an original release album of Mary Poppins that would have been fantastic to bring for Richard to sign last year.

Our guest room is now officially the Staging Area for our cruise! Our cats hate to see that. My cat, Rolo, sleeps in the duffel bags.

I'm feelin' you, Beastly!!! These storms have me a little nervous. I wonder if the Wonder (Pun intended) will be diverted again tomorrow.

I always forget to put sunscreen on my bald spot!

My cats hate suitcases too! Nicky tries to hide in the suitcase and Sasha does the 'mommy don't go' dance.

Right now, the DCL website says: The safety of our guests and crew is always our first priority at Disney Cruise Line and we are closely monitoring Tropical Storm Hanna through the National Weather Service.

At this time, we have not made any changes to the September 4th voyage of the Disney Wonder.

Should weather conditions change, our Captain can alter the ship's course or itinerary for the safety and well being of our guests.

 

[JOANNEL]

Wow you guys have been busy.

Good luck to all those who need it. Too many injuries here's to quick healing.

I checked on our dining this morning, I must have got a newbie cause it's all mixed up. I hope he gets it straight. Early was fine but us late people he has all over. So I don't know. I guess where ever we end up will be fun.

Happy Wednesday all.

You and Roger are linked with us I notice this morning when I did the online check in. So if there are weird charges on your room key... I'm just saying...

That is too weird. I guess you are stuck with us at dinner We were at a eight person table so you would think there would be more names. Oh well more dessert for us!!! We did our on line a while ago so I didn't notice any names. I will have to check.

Just make sure I am around for al lthose frozen yummies!!!!!

 

[JOANNEL]

Has any one stayed at AKL before? How do we make reservations for the Safari's offered at the hotel?

 

[OKWMEMBER]

We stayed in a studio there and it was very nice! The Villa has it's own pool and you can use all the facilities at Wilderness Lodge. A great place to watch the water parade at night!

There is an update on the SS Members site. Looks like there will be an animator on board as well as an HD premier of a Classic Disney movie.

I've been watching- IF it stays on track, the 4th sailing might have to change their ports, but otherwise should be ok.

The one to watch for us is going to be Josephine which is plain too far away at the moment to know what it's going to do.

Ike, on the other hand is going to be another gulf hurricane, hopefully not a bad one.

The movie is Sleeping Beauty, I'm guessing. Since it comes out on Blue Ray on Oct 7.

But at least we have an update
