Hi Jeff! Glad to see that you have joined our DIS group for the Antigua cruise.

Viking- I sent you an E-mail

Hi Everyone.

Welcome Jeff and family!

Arlene and Andy, Congrats on your savings and upgrade!

I wll not be getting any time off this weekend. I was supposed to work Sunday, but I just got the call from job #2. They need me in the morning. And since my doc at job #1 is taking off a week at the end of July, she desided to keep the office open on Monday. Oh well, more money for the cruise.
Panama City Beach is filling up as I type this. Traffic is a daily hassle this time of year.

Just 3 months to go!!!!!

Later, Avé

 

[jeanniec]

Arlene -- What a wonderful upgrade! Congratulations!

 

[jeanneg]

Arlene: great news about the upgrade....what do you need to qualify for a FL resident rate? Does DVC ownership apply?

Jeff and Jean: Welcome (yet another Jean from the south!) Glad to have you join the fun!

Ciara,
no mail from you - Neither at my AOL nor at my Yahoo

Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th. DH and I will both be working. Apparently a lot of people on the roads for some reason!
For your viewing consideration. Saw Spiderman 2 last night. We give it 4 excellent thumbs up!

 

[Viking]

Good to hear that Spiderman is worth viewing - Bad to know that we'll have to wait a couple of weeks til it starts over here

Just thought I wish everyone a happy 4th. Also I hope it doesn't rain.

WOW! So much to catch up on!

Laurarn, nice to see you posting. Happy belated anniversary!
I'm sure you son(and daughters) will find lots of kids to hang with.
Have a wonderful time at WDW. My recommendations for the DO NOT MISS THINGS:
Animal Kingdom: Tarzan Rocks, Ledgend of the Lion King, Safari Tour, A Bugs life 3D movie, Countdown to Extintion.
Epcot: Spaceship Earth (much shorter lines at the end of the day, but don't miss it!) The Malstome in Norway, Mexico boat ride, Iluminations, Body Wars, The Living Seas, The Land, Honey I shurnk the Audiance.
MGM: Star Wars, Fantasmic, Backlot tour, Tower of Terror
Magic Kingdom: Buzz Lightyear, Parade, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Pairates of the Carribean.
If you are staying on WDW property, get to the parks early...take a break in the middle of the day (busiest time) and go back to your hotel, for a nap or a swim, the head back in late afternoon.
Bring a small backpack with rain ponchos, small snacks and some juice packs. If you plan on dining for either lunch or dinner in any of the parks, make reservations today! The "Breakfast with Mickey" at the Contemptory is our favorite "Character Meal".
Excursions on the cruise: We are doing the Eco-Tour in Antiqua, and the Coki Beach trip on St Thomas. We did the Trunk Bay trip the last 2 visits there, so we thought we'd try something different.


Kathy...congrats on your retirement!

Arlene...congrats on your upgrade! How did you get a Florida Res. rate? We have a house in Florida, and are still registered to vote there. I wonder if this would qualifiy for Fl. Res Rates?

Welcome to Jeff and family! Glad to have you with us!

Got stuck working at Detroit Metro Airport today,so lots of free time!Need to get some pre cruise info from veterans. When you use your digital camera, do you have the ability to download them to a cd while on board, should we bring our cable and upload them to a website, or do we just need to get lots of memory cards? Lots to do, and only 3 months to do it in!
With enough time, I surfed the boards and answered my own question. Happy 4th!

Boston Pétér

 

[Laurarn]

RellingTwin: Thanks so much for all the great info! I'm taking notes right now We're staying at the Polynesian and I did make at PS for Chef Mickey's Character Breakfast and the Spirit of Aloha show. Looking forward to it!
Also, regarding the excursions, this is our first time on the 7 day and never been to any of these ports. I would love to see Trunk Bay, as I hear such wonderful things about it, but is it worth all the time and transportation it takes to get there? Is there enough time to relax before its time to head back? Our other choice is to take a taxi to one of the St. Thomas beaches, possibly Coki or Megan's bay. Decisions, decisions Thanks again and have a great 4th of July!

I'll bring a portable CD-Writer with an integrated card-reader. This contraption reads CompactFlash, MicroDrive, SmartMedia, MemoryStick, SD-Cards, and MultiMediaCards. The images are transferred to CD-ROMs burned in Multi-Session-Mode.
If you have one of the abovementioned cards just bring some blank CDs with you and feel free to download your pics at our stateroom whenever you want.
I also have only three 128Meg-cards for my 5Megapixel-cam, but this is usually more than sufficient for one day, enabling me to do about 200-250 pics in full resolution per day.
BTW: Disney (Shutters) also offers to burn your cards to CD: For $15

If you want to go to go to Coki Beach, you may want to join our group of snorkelers/divers. We booked a combined snorkeling/diving-excursion. The CokiDive-team will pick us up at the port, take us there, provide all the gear, and bring us back. If you're not into diving/snorkeling you can just use the transportation and enjoy the beach.

You have to come over here, I'll take you for a ride on the Autobahn - Then you'll experience REAL motion sickness

And BTW, it's three muses and one moose
