jeanneg - Well, I guess I owe you an apology as soon as I can pull myself up off the floor. ROFL!! I woke up this morning and had to laugh. My first thought was the only thing better than being tagged is having your wit live on in someone else's tag. Then I realized the tag fairy got me to. Thank You Tag Fairy!!

Can't wait to meet you all. Take Care,

I hope Jill (two foxes) and her DH have been contacted by DCL. Have been keeping an eye on their first cruise and it appears it won't go out now until Monday (according to another post). Looks like another bad weekend for Florida. I hope everyone there stays safe, and hopefully we'll see EVERYONE on our cruise, no matter when, where, or how long it is!

I was just thinking about them today...I think that they are staying on WDW property so they should be getting information...I do have her home number which won't do any good and forgot to get her cell phone number. What a terrible hurricane season.

Busy day over here so far today.

Been watching Jeanne with some interest. It still looks like she'll move quickly up the Eastern Seaboard right after passing through the Bahamas. At this point, landfall is south of Port Canaveral so we'll have to wait and see.

Spent some time this morning in another unsuccessful search for The Tie. I think it fell overboard and is lost forever. Shame.

Haven't got my hair cut yet. The guy that I've been going to for some time is now "semi-retired" and only goes in for long-time clientele on selected days. I'm not sure whether or not I want to get it cut. I sort of like having the pony tail and I've gotten used to not being asked for spare change all of the time. I'm also given a pretty wide berth in the grocery store check out lines which is nice. I can get them to all bunch up a bit if I start talking to myself or to my Invisible Friend or go after some imaginary flies. Lots of fun.

Jim.

Disney Cruise Line® –
Important Information
As of September 24, 2004 - 1:00 pm EST

Unavoidable circumstances created by Hurricane Jeanne have brought about the need to make adjustments to our Disney Wonder and Disney Magic cruises.

Disney Wonder Three-Night Cruise, September 23, 2004
In order to avoid the effects of Hurricane Jeanne, we have extended this three-night cruise to a four-night cruise and modified the itinerary. We will now visit Cozumel, Mexico, on this voyage rather than the Bahamas. The ship will return on Monday, September 27, to Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades.

Disney Magic Seven-Night Cruise, September 25, 2004
Because Hurricane Jeanne is impacting Port Canaveral, the Disney Magic will now depart from Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades on Monday, September 27, on a five-night voyage. The itinerary will be:

Monday: Depart from Port Everglades
Tuesday: Day at Sea
Wednesday: Cozumel, Mexico
Thursday: Costa Maya, Mexico
Friday: Day at Sea
Saturday: Return to Port Canaveral
Ground transportation will be provided to Fort Lauderdale from Walt Disney World and the Orlando International Airport. In addition, transportation will be provided back to Fort Lauderdale from Port Canaveral at the end of the cruise if your car is in Fort Lauderdale. Special incentives will be offered to those who choose to sail on this cruise.

Disney Wonder Four-Night Cruise, September 26, 2004
This cruise is being delayed by one day and will depart on Monday, September 27, on a three-night voyage rather than a four-night cruise, departing from Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades. The cruise is still anticipated to sail to the Bahamas. However, depending on the path and impact of Hurricane Jeanne, it may be necessary to eliminate our calls to Castaway Cay and to Nassau. In this event, we will explore the potential to visit other ports or to have days at sea.

We realize that guests who have reservations for this cruise were looking forward to a four-night itinerary, and we are offering discount incentives to those who still choose to sail on this cruise.
Guests who booked air travel on their own should change only the inbound flight to Florida. Do not reschedule return flights as we expect no complications related to our return to Port Canaveral on Thursday.

Jim -- You are so funny!! Good thing I have a very private office or else people would be wondering why I am laughing out loud all by myself.

Videoman -- I just read that post by DCL that tomorrow's 7-day Magic cruise will be shortened to five days and sail from Lauderdale rather than Canaveral. Will this madness ever end? We are the next 7-day out after tomorrow's cruise. Sure hope DCL can keep to our original schedule. I will be so disappointed if our cruise is shortened -- much more than if we have to go to different ports. Let's all hope for the best!

Hi Everyone
Just sitting here waiting for our fearless, listkeeping, leader and his better half to show up.
Maybe I should be cleaning or cooking or something? Nahhhh!
Can't believe Port Canaveral is closing again. Really feel for all those cruisers affected. I don't care where we cruise to....but a REALLY want my 7 days.

Hey Jim, Can you spare a buck or two?

Just found out that the place we planned on taking the Germans to for dinner next Thursday night has re-opened. It got some damage from the tornado that hit our neighborhood.

Jeanneg... So Funny about the tag fairy thing!
Nancy...I have PLENTY of old worn out underware. Shall I pack a few extras for you?

Auntmeme...Looks like we are going to have to do another update on Pier Park, once this storm passes.

Sooner, rather then
Later,
Avé

Love it...love it !!!

Congrats.....to U Both on Your New TAGS

[jeanneg]

Good idea, Ave......let's use the money we're collecting to buy Jim a tie and save our leftover "disposables" for Nancy! But remember, we have to pack a few more for ourselves just in case our cruise gets extended!
I'm with you, Jean, I don't care where we go as long as we're on the ship. Someone on the main board was moaning and groaning about going to Charleston, but that's the risk you take when you book a cruise during hurricane season and the lower rates reflect this. If they had taken the time to read the fine print, they would know that no specific itinerary is ever guaranteed and the captain always retains the right to change course if necessary. I feel bad for the people who lost days of their eagerly awaited vacations. but I really can't understand having a pity party because DCL went to Charleston!

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Jim...aka Santa...is that you I always see in the supermarket???

More itinerary changes for these cruisers...I know that if this cruise gets extended into our cruise, we will be cancelling...I don't want to go on anything less than 7 days!! Don't care which ports we sail to but it has to be at least 7 days. Plus, if there is any remote possibility of another hurricane (can we say Lisa) that we might have to stay out to sea longer, we will cancel. I can just imagine me calling Sarah's principal from Mexico explaining why Sarah isn't back in school. Oh well, we will just have to wait and see. We've had too many things go wrong with the trip planning (original airline flights cancelled and then Ron Jon's cancelling) that for me it's three strikes, you're out!!

Gorgeous day out today but just hope that Jeanne misses Florida to give those people a break.

 

[cdnmickeylover]

Ah Mary Jo don't cancell. We'd miss you. Hopefully we won't have any hurricanes at all during our week. Lisa -- are you listening???

We've already decided that as long as we can drive and get there that we are going. Need a break desparately. And staying at home with my mother is NOT a break. Besides if I just stayed home I'd be reachable by telephone.

Funny thing happened last night -- I was woken up by darling DS and his friend outside in the back yard at 2:30am. Got up to see what was going on. Seems our dog, Lily, had caught a mouse in the basement. Was thinking blood, gore, yuck but nope our smart dog just licked the thing. DS picked it up and put it in the neighbour's yard and didn't see any damage to it except that it was soaking wet. Lily was terribly excited by the whole thing but obviously didn't know what to do with it!

Still at work and will be for a while but hopefully not as long as I had first thought.

See you soon,

Bye, kim

 

[Twinave]

hey Santa I mean Jim What's your fav. color? We need to know what color tie to pick out.

MaryJo...don't blame you for your feelings. But I really hope it doesn't come to that.

The folks with the funny accents have arrived in PCB!! They are settleing in thier motel room, and will be joining my family this evening for some food and brew.

Just thought I would let the other people who are going know that my husband - Ken Bell, myself, Adelle Bell, and our 4 year old grandson - Nicholas, will be going to the Pineapple Beach resort also. Thanks to Renee for letting us join in.
Looking forward to the cruise. Hope the bad weather is out of the way by Oct 1st when we fly to Orlando.
We are celebrating our anniversary on the cruise also. Noticed that many people are celebrating special occasions. Can't think of a better way to celebrate than a Disney cruise with dear hubby and Nicholas, the number one love of my life (after Ken)!
Look forward to seeing you all either on the ship or at the beach.
Adelle
