Well nanc and I recovered from watching the grandchildren last night. Just jokeing they are great kids. Grampa also get a chance to watch some of his TV shows on my son's new 42 inch flat panal HD TV. Some day we might be able to get one.
I just got back from filling up the gas can I use for blowing snow. Just getting ready for the next one tomorrow althought they say it might be mostly rain. We will see.
Nanc is out getting her annual physical as we speak. I hope it goes well she is in good shape and we take care of ourselves. When she gets back I think we will go for a walk its a beautiful day about 45 degrees and the sun is bright.
Catch you all later

Morning all. I am back home . Don't know how that happened.

Really enjoyed the little mini 3 night cruise. Too short! Hercules has already been loaded off the ship so I didn't get to see it one last time. They had All About the Story on the first night. Toy Story premieres on the March 20th cruise. It will be the final night of the cruise for the 3 night. THey say it is going to be the best show ever. The new cast was on and in rehearsals. Old cast gets off the ship on the 20th. So, totally whole new cast.

Cruise was great. Now back at the office and buried under the middle of the Girl Scout cookie sale and starting to track all that $$$ coming in.

Okay, so I'll check back in soon. I did get to eat dinner with Ashley and Karen from the UK who have been on past member cruise and we had a really nice dinner. Went to the buffet over at Fort. Wilderness in the back where the hoop de doo is. Never been there. It was pretty fun. Guess I need to go to the Hoop de doo sometime.

Talk to you soon.

Happy Birthday Gail.

Also Mary - I too think it is a sign. Mickey is calling.

 

[WDWLVR]

Linda I think Trails End is one of those hidden gems of WDW. They also do a great breakfast buffet which we did in December before doing the Ft. Wilderness Segways.

That's great that you got to meet up with old friends. Always fun!

Welcome home!

Hi all,

Slow day on this thread. Really busy at work so didn't have much time too even check on it. This doing two jobs is getting old.

I emailed member services yesterday to get some rooms for after the cruise. they told me everything was full. Yikes. I will have to call tomorrow.

Brought the computer home to do some work.

Have a great evening.

 

[JOANNEL]

Welcome back Linda,

Any new food items? How was the weather?

 

[cobbler]

I was hoping they would put a Halloween Party night on Thursday the day we get off the ship. Friday night would be super busy I think - although maybe not since it is so early in the season.

Hubby really wants to go to the Halloween Party and collect the candy, we still have some left over from last year's party after the cruise.

 

[JOANNEL]

We went last year too. We sent all the candy back to college with our youngest. He and his girfriend met us after the cruise. I more enjoyed the rides without lines, the parade and the fireworks were fabulous. Somuch more than the regular ones. The decorations were fun and the workers in the haunted mansion had great make up.

What a workaholic or is just dedication HA Ha just joking girl. Instead of E-Mailing Member Services call I bet you will have better luck.
Before I forget it Joan did you get the E-mail Nancy sent you thanking you and Rog . It was sent Sunday night.

[danandnan]

IF you call Member services tomorrow let them know what resort you want and they will put you on a wait list. If somethings opens up they will call you or you can call them. Just an idea.

[JOANNEL]

No, the only email I got was speeding ticket one.

No workaholic here. I just have this massive spreadheet that I can work on while watching Amercan Idol!!!

How does the waitlist work? When will we know? I may just make reservations at Shades of green to be safe.

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone - happy Wednesday!

We've found that the Friday night MNSSHP are a little too crowded for our tastes as they have a lot of locals. The mid-week ones tend to be more enjoyable.

 

[JOANNEL]

Good morning all,

Woke up to 40 degrees!!!! This is Florida. My kids will be home this wek end for Spring Break. Definately not beach weather.

Have a great day.

 

[WDWLVR]

We had some fun at our house last night. Mark is always looking at the new releases on video and came home yesterday with the first season of The Love Boat! Corny but fun to watch. I so remember when that was first run and how impressive the Pacific Princess was. By today's standards it would be a tiny ship. I actually got to see it once when I was in Acapulco at the same time. They wouldn't let us go on board (even though we were allowed an another Princess ship earlier that same trip.

 

[JOANNEL]

How fun I used to love that show.

 

[JOANNEL]

I am on the phone with member services. Amazing they have the rooms. I wonder why they told me no yesterday. We are staying at Animal Kingdom. I am so excited, this is a new one for us!!!

 

[TnRobin]

I was just sent the most awesome video link by a fellow Scout leader. I hope I do not offend anyone by posting a link to a Christian Song, but I just loved this church's performance to this song. Plus it is one of my favorite songs. I know a few have talked about attending Mass on Sunday before the cruise, so I thought a few here would enjoy it. Watch it to the end.

[JOANNEL]

That was very sweet. Thanks for sharing. You guys are good about going to Church on Sunday morning. We are Saturday nighters so we usually don't get there when on vacation.

have any of you ever stayed at Aninal Kingdom? Are there any hints for things to do while there? I saw the early morning safari on the travel channel. member services told me to sign up when we get there. Does it not sell out? What about Disney Dining? Do you think it's worth it? Last year we went to Universal so we didn't need it but it sounds like a good idea.

I think I'm the only Jewish person in our group. I usually go on Friday nights, sometimes Sat. morning.
