Karen, I think your light is on again and nobody is home.

 

[JLDSMD]

O.K., back to work then for me.

Revenue Reconciliations - lovely.

Hi! Wanted to introduce myself...DH and I will be sailing with y'all on the 24th! We always take a week without our kiddos. Don't worry...they get two cruises with us between now and then! It will be about our 20th DCL!!!

Saw Timon on another thread and she recommended a visit over here! Look forward to getting to know you.

I think we are going to have to start a Tinkerbell club for the cruise!!!


Hi... welcome from another Tink fan! I'm Beth. My husband Matthew is on here as EPCOT VA. My daughters are coming on the cruise with us and it is the youngest one that made me a Tinkerbell fan! Megan and Sarah will turn 12 and 10 on the cruise!

Karen,

The code for the Budget location at Port is CC5. I believe it is on North Atlantic.

Are you booking through that UK site? I think the other location is for Avis. I know AFEG sent me that site and it gives you two locations, but doesn't tell you who it is.

What size car are you taking after the cruise? $30 is a really good rate. That's US$, not Pounds, correct?

Just a medium compact - it was £18.86 so yes, about $30

Don't you have a bottle of wine that wants to talk?

Cheeky

Maybe you should leave it at 7999 until tomorrow and take the night to think about it.

However, here's one for you:

I have finally come to my 8000th post,
I'm doing a poem because I request them the most.
But now for the rules, I will amend,
And milestone poems will come to an end.​

Works for me.

Miserable toad! - I'm still gonna request my poems... and for your cheek I expect 2 verses off you next time

Where did you go Karen?

4:45 your time, what's for dinner?

Roast chicken, veg and mash ... diet food

Karen, if you're around, you can have the 2,000th post.

Yeah right ... and my Dad's the pope

Karen, I think your light is on again and nobody is home.

Nothing new there then

Car hire - Budget - is it close to the terminal?

Our other choice is Hertz or Avis

Any thoughts?

Question of the Day:

Which Disney character are you most excited to meet?

My answer: Kathy! And I mean that in a nice way.


*****

Good luck on the wrestling match today L. Have fun at the birthday party Jeff, Suz and L!!

I know I'm behind by a couple of days, but... I enjoy meeting the characters that you don't get to see very often. Peter Pan is cool to see. I can't wait to find Tinkerbell in the park now. Actually, I also enjoy meeting Captain Hook!

My kids have passed the age of clamouring to see the characters. (Or is it just that they have been around them too many times??)

What was really fun was Mickey and Minnie dressed for each port on our Med cruise!

 

[Tinkerbell.RN]

.... you know you're gtting old when things you remember are in a museum

Tell me about it!!! I've had that happen more times than I care to count.

So the three of us went to the mall last night and we took Kira on a carousel, similar to the one at MK with horses and she freaked out

So it seems we have a little bit of work ahead of us before we go to wdw

We have a crappy little theme park here, which we are going to get season's passes for this summer so we can take her and get her used to going on rides

We don't plan on doing a lot of rides at WDW but we would like to do some stuff

When Megan was just over 1, I took her to Disneyland with a friend who's daughter was the same age. Her "freak out" came when she met Mickey... and then Minnie! I had to hold her on my other side in order to get our picture with Mickey!

Her next hurdle was dark places. She had to leave "Voyage of the Little Mermaid" and the Lion King theater show they used to have because she was so scared! (Her big thing at the time was waving and saying "Bye-Bye" when she didn't like someone or someplace!)

She eventually got used to it all... and so will Kira!

 

[Tinkerbell.RN]

Wow, your daughter was 3 huh? Kira will be a month shy of 3 when we go

I'm hoping going to Calaway Park will help her out a lot because when we go to Gymboree, she is a KAMIKAZI!!!

Oh and bribery is awesome!



Funny enough, Cinderella's Golden Carousel was her first ride ever at WDW

Here's a pic from my cell phone last night...

She was ok until about a minute into the ride. Rob said she didn't like the up and down part of it

I think some of the horses don't go up and down...just look for them!

 

[Timon]

I just found out some devastating news......

The new AP menu does not have the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie!

That's it, I am starting a petition!!!!!!!!!

 

[Karen Mouse]

I booked the car hire too!!!!!

I figure the more I book the less chance Neil has of telling me we cant afford it

Booked with Budget - 7 days for £132 and 1 day for £18.82

Sounds too cheap to me!

Plus, we dont pay til we get there ...even better!

That means no port car parking charges either

Oooooh, I'm in planning mode - what else can I do

 

[Karen Mouse]

CHEAP CAR HIRE F.O.

I hate to say it but.....good! - no peanut butter is a good thing in our lives

Sorry Cass

They are all close to the Port. I believe Hertz is in the Country Inn and Suites, but their location at MCO is off airport where the others are at the airport.

I booked Budget pre cruise and Avis post cruise. It just worked better for me that way.

 

[Karen Mouse]

So will you be dropping your car off at Budget the morning of the cruise? Us too! - might see you there ..... mini Bob meet at Budget

Do you know if its walkable or is it a shuttle?

 

[tikimimi]

I know AirTran is very big in MKE, so I have a question for you cheeseheads. How is the flying experience with AirTran? I have wanted to try them, but it never worked out. I was always a Delta guy, but their flight times stink for the 3 airports I was looking to fly out of.

I did pay the $6 per person for seat assignments. I figured that I didn't want us to get separated having small children, and we are in the row behind my parents.

Chris - I think everyone probably has diffretn experiences with all airlines at one time or another. We used to fly Air Tran all the time and had wonderful experiences; however, we have had two horrendous ones. They liek to cancel or rather postpone and repeat the postponement indefinitely sometimes. They have humans working customer service, so of course, sometimes the service is good and others it leaves a great deal to be desired. We have learned one thing with air Tran worth passing along - make sure you book at a time when there are other flights (several other) after yorus just in case. The horror stories are better left for in person.

Andy has told me its walkable, but there is also a shuttle. I will probably drop the car off around 9am.

 

[Karen Mouse]

Thanks Chris - we're driving down in the morning from the villa so you'll probably be there earlier than us, although we do intend setting out early to get a good boarding card number.

Are you dropping your family and luggage at the terminal first or taking them and the luggage with you when you drop the car off and getting the shuttle back together?

I've not done this before - last time we just parked the rental in the carpark at the port.

 

[Karen Mouse]

I'm all excited!

How many sleeps til we get there?

 

[Karen Mouse]

ok, so I've made up my poem
