Hey to all – (all say’s – HEY!!!)

Our web site through Yahoo Groups…is up…running!!! Below is a ‘screen shot’ of the home page. I’ve added; 8 Links - 6 Databases - 14 Photos - 7 Files & 1 Poll. So…we’ve got a good start.

DISYahooGroupsWebSite_HomePage.jpg


As you see on the left (shaded blue box), we can; add files (word – power point – excel – Adobe), insert links, upload photos and photo albums, register in databases, answer polls and put important dates in the calendar section. Please…feel free to poke around…review and add information. I recommend starting with the database section. If you want a new database or poll…just ask – it can be in place very quickly.

At this point…the ability to post messages in Yahoo Groups has been disabled. I made this decision based on past experience. IMHO – it’s best we keep ‘taking’ via this wonderful discussion forum on The DIS – keeping it simple. If all decide you want this feature activated…I can make the change.

I’d be happy to send you an invite to review – enjoy…and hopefully participate. This is a great tool. If everybody shares, we ALL win. If you would like an invite, click on the below e-mail link…this will open a separate window as blank e-mail message – already addressed to my home and work ISP. NOTE - if it won't automatically open paste/copy the below e-mail addresses into a new e-mail. Just include…the e-mail address you want your invite sent to.

kevin.smith@appl.ge.com;d_Isigny@msn.com

Or...send me a Private Message -

After I process your invite…you will receive an e-mail from Yahoo Groups. The e-mail you will receive – will be:
From: Seven_Days_of_Magic_Sailing_to_the_Saints moderator
Subject: Invitation to join the Seven_Days_of_Magic_Sailing_to_the_Saints group

It’ll look similar to the below ‘screen shot’.

When you get your message…you will see a ‘gray box’ asking you to ‘Join this group!’ Click on it. This is a link to automatically connect you to Yahoo Groups and eventually our web site. If you are already registered on Yahoo….all you need to do is input your user name and pass word – DONE. If not…you will need to register (this is a little painful – some where between a small pinch and paying taxes). Frankly…it’s not much different than what you went through registering on The DIS’. However, if any need assistance…just let me know.

BE ADVISED --- if you have filters on your incoming e-mail….this MAY not be in your regular inbox. If you don’t see the invite within 30 minutes of receiving my confirmation e-mail….look in your JUNK or SPAM folders. If you offer me your work e-mail address…be advised…you might not have access to your junk/spam folders – your friendly IT department may restrict this function.

Hope this finds all well…with great plans for the weekend – other than me…I have to work.
 
Your invite has been processed...ENJOY!!! K

The website looks Awesome! It is going to be difficult to stay current at least until I return from WDW in July. Then I can focus on 2010 vacations.

Thanks Kevin for all your work. Lois
 
I don't know what hit me recently but I'm sooo excited for our cruise.:banana: I wish it was tomorrow I don't know if I can wait that long.
 

Good Morning, Everyone. Sorry that I haven't been here in a few days. Still trying to get settle into our new place and get completely out of the old.

I will update our cruise page to add Sandy and her crew a little later. By the way, Sandy, welcome aboard.
 
Hi, Everyone. I know it's kind of early, but the early bird catches the worm. YUCK!!!

Anyway, Let's get acquainted.

I am Brenda and will be traveling with my husband Eric on what will be our third Disney Cruise together and by the time of this cruise, my fifth. It will be shortly after our third anniversary.

I have been on several cruises, but this will be my first 7-day cruise and I cannot wait.

So, what about the rest of you?

Hi Brenda - I am Brenda as well ~ friends of OrlanR (Rus & Chel)...and i'm in Gilroy - this will be my 4th cruise - all have been Disney, but my 1st 'eastern'...plan is for my daughter Jennifer to join me on this cruise, as my husband doesn't/won't cruise, & my son (my usual cruising buddy) will be only in his 2nd year at univ. - and is now too old for the stack anyway - so he'll probably wait till he's 21 before going again! Anyway - thought it was time for me to jump on board the thread & start getting to know everyone...

looks like i have lots of pages to catch up on...a great way to spend a sat night....

Wow, yet another "Brenda" AND another Californian at that!!! You have to decide how you want to be known as on the boards. I am "Sunshine Brenda" and the "dencord" Brenda is "Colorado Brenda".

Welcome aboard to you and your daughter and it is going to be great fun getting aquainted.
 
Well, Everyone, I hope that you all had a wonderful Mother's Day!!

I am pretty much back on the job now, so I will be updating the cruise page on a regular basis now.

It took a while to get the old place cleaned up because I had the water turned a little too soon. Can you imagine trying to clean an oven without water? Well, my sister and I we pretty inventive. I had a lot of half drank water bottles in my car (don't ask) which was enough to get us started. Then I had an epiphany; My DH is always telling me that in case of an earthquake, and we don't have water, that the hot water tank has water. Well, we high-tailed it out to the garage to check it out, and sure enough, there was water, hot water at that. So, we were able to clean the carpet and clean the stove and other tough up. My DH also brought over a 5-gallon jug of water, so we were able to get the house clean. I declare, that place looks better than when I moved in 7 years ago, with the exception of the carpet and walls. But even so, if you were to walk through, you would be hard pressed to tell that the place had not been professionally cleaned.

So, that is that.

I hope that you all have a great day. And thanks for all of your support.

Thank you Brenda!!
I am working on our fish extender which sorta-kinda contains our cruise excitement.

No problem, Sandy. I just found my FE material during some of our unpacking today. I had better put that so that I will have when making my FE for our trip in August.
 
Hi all!

I just put down my deposit today through DU - my husband said I better do it before I go into labor!! I am actually due this Saturday with our second child, a boy!! Thus far it is just the four of us going, but we are so excited - we're doing a combo birthday (I turn 34 during the cruise)/belated 10th anniversary (9/2/2010!!)/school break trip, so we will have lots of reasons to celebrate. AND we have stateroom 6106 - doubly excited to have a verandah this trip - woo hoo!!

Look forward to getting to know everyone!!

Jennifer

Hello, Jennifer. Congratulations on you little-one-to-be, and of course, Welcome Aboard. I am adding you all to the cruise post on page 1.

We will be celebrating a belated 3-year anniversary on the cruise as well (9/15/2010). And we seem to have a lot of folks celebrating a birthday during the cruise as well. So, is your birthday October 27th, by any chance?

Nice to have you all on board.
 
Well, Gang. We are up to 160 folks. There are a few "Brendas", "Kevins", and quite a few "Jennifers". Also, there seems to be several folks with the same birthday as well. It is going to be quite the celebration with this crew!!!

Thanks Brenda! And yes, my birthday is October 27th...how did you know?? You must be psychic. ;-)

No, not psychic. Just put 2 and 2 together and hit the right answer. :goodvibes I figured that since your Dis name has 1027 in it, and you are celebrating a birthday while on the cruise, I just figured your b-day must be October 27th. You will be sharing it with a couple of folks traveling with us as well.
