Good Morning all,

On a lighter note, both boys are home and we are expecting one more guest today. Afriend of ours from CA, who is a priest- ordained this summer. He is doing his reserve duty at Maxwell- AL. He has a long week end so he is coming down also. Each boy brought a friend. So I have 5 extra bodies this week end. It should be fun. Saw Bucket List last night- good movie. If you want a good laugh and a good cry at the same time you need to see this.

Dan- We are game for Palo's. When is our 90 day mark? June 23rd?

Have a great Saturday- MAry you and I are early birds..... Already have some laundry going and are catching up on the DVR...

Thats a pretty good idea, im going to have try that! Thanks for the tip...Stay warm, I'm near Mary and with the windchill the temp was -23 when I left for work this morning at 7:30! Hopefully it warms up soon, I think 60 is cold!

 

[iluvdisney]

Big OUCH - my old bones are telling me that it's a good day to stay in and daydream about our upcoming cruise - can't get here fast enough for me! I am leaving for "my happy place" in a few days and I sure hope that my bones feel better down there - not having a great winter up here - ready to travel!
Stay warm everyone!

 

[tikimimi]

We have snow in Georgia - some of the largest flakes this morning, but it is still snowing. It is beautiful! We have it so infrequently, it is easy to enjoy. Have a safe and warm day everyone!

We got a few inches of snow here yesterday, stuck to the grass but not sidewalks and roads so it does look kind of pretty. It's sunny and cold today (28 right now) so it hasn't melted.

hi everyone: home from my trip to Disney and a cruise on the Wonder.

Yesterday at CC, it was terribly windy. I got a hammock and was in it for about 1/2 hour and got up and walked back to the ship.

Felt like I had a war with Mother Nature. My face burned from the wind and sand hitting it. We were not supposed to be back on the ship until 4:30 and almost everyone was back by 3 pm.

All watercraft activities and excursions were canceled due to the high winds and rough seas. But other than that, it was nice outside.

A lot of CM's are leaving for their breaks, since it is after the Holidays. Quite a few of them are going to the Magic.

Have to unpack all my bags and go get Shelby. She is doing good, from what the Vet has told me.

Thanks for all the well wishes. Very much appreciated.

Back home only to leave again on Thursday for Salt Lake City - when I get there, I'll probably wish I was back on CC and the wind and sand.

ANNETTE & AMANDA: Glad Opraha was good. I tape it each day just in case I don't get to see it. Hope you also had a good time shopping.

IF ANYONE WANTS ME TO ADD ANYTHING TO PAGE 1, JUST LET ME KNOW.

 

[PKK/MJK]

It is really nice.:


The bag is very large with a large outside pocket and two side compartments for water bottles or other items.
Inside are two water bottles, a good sized note pad with pen and a little rubber ship.
Also one of the red mesh bags.

Hi all,

Not much going on. Have a house full. Have doen a lot of laundry & cooking. I love having the kids home.

Dan- If you only want to do one I would pick brunch. Around 11:30 then you don't miss what ever is planned for the morning. You are such good grand parents.

Kay- I love that bag. It seems so much nicer than the white ones. Sorry the weather was so bad. Has to be better than here it was 28 this am. Sunny Florida????

Have a great Evening.

HI Joan

[figmentnnemo]

I just read that Journey Into Imagination at Epcot is closing for another refurbishment. Here's hoping Disney gets "one little spark" of imagination and replaces Figment to his former glory and brings back the Dreamfinder. We have a couple of post-cruise days booked at SS, so Figment will be my first stop on land after the member cruise!

brunch is ONLY on sea days. So there will be only one day we can do Brunch at Palo.

I know we've still got plenty of time, but....

On the Member cruises are the dining/show times the same as on the regular cruises? If you have late dining, do you still go to the show before dinner? And will they have any of the regular shows (like the new Toy Story), or are they all specialty entertainment?

Thanks!
Wendy

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone!

Dan - thanks for the heads up. I'll fix it the next time on working on the page. I had hoped to get to it this weekend but never did.

Wendy - the dining/show rotations are the same as on a regular cruise. On the 2003, 2005 and 2006 cruises they had a special presentation the last night but all the other nights were the same. On the 2007 cruise they two special nights but the others were regular. I'm sure hoping we get to see the new Toy Story show.

 

[krdisneybound]

yep, the shows are on rotation. If have late dining, your show is at 6:15 and if you have main dining, your show is at 8:30 p.m.

Hercules is the one that is be gone "forever". It is not going to the Magic or anywhere...... Toy Story starts about March 13th or so. I will just miss it with my Feb. 28th cruise. A lot of new things they are incorporating into the show. Should be really nice.

I know we've still got plenty of time, but....

Linda is sad she won't get to see it, but she'll get over it......

Thanks!
Wendy
