Have a great day everyone. I'm off to the grocery store to pick up a salad for lunch.

Jeff, I cleared out almost 30 emails between the two of us yesterday at work. No wonder I didn't get much done.

What was your tip Jeff? I won a passporter too last year. I think I'll wait until next year like Melody and get another one then. The info doesn't change that much but it gets us in the mood. We love sitting at TGIF on Saturday afternoons for lunch and read through the PP.

It was the one about asking your Room Host to leave more than one Navigator in your room each night so you can save one for your souvineers/scrapbook and the other to highlight what you want to do the next day.

This way you don't have to run down to guest services to get an extra one.

It will be credited as Jeff D. (I didn't get the release back before printing)

As for the free Passporter, they offered me the new WDW one for 2008 or the 2007 DCL. I asked them if I could get the 2008 DCL since we're going on the Repo and they said sure.

I had to email them last week to request it and they said they'll mail it right out. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll get it. Want to review the repo ports before we book our excursions on 5/19.

I just read back and found it. It looks like a it's angel food cake as a cupcake with frosting. YUMMO!!! I could have that for breakfast. (Jen, Lori, Robin,...you didn't just read that).

Did she answer it? I know I put out yesterday asking if it was what we call Angel Food. I don't recall reading Karen's response, but it may have been the accent that got to me and I just shook my head yes to her posting.

Have a good day Nancy.

I'll try not to email you today.

Actually, I have the dentist at 12:30 and wasn't planning on going back to the office this afternoon. My office is near Bayshore and the Dentist is by Goerke's corners.

I'll be much closer to home. I'll work the rest of the day from here.

One more post and we can make this a Wisconsin page Jeff.

Couples. We went with Brenda and Jason, Jo and Danny.

So is the pass for two then or do you need two passes?

You got Chuck in there?

And it isn't weird being in there with more than just your spouse? Is it a big room?

Tell me about the "great" showers they have up there, is that in that room or just in the regular locker rooms up there?

Might be something Suz and I will try next time.

 

[JLDSMD]

Hmmm, it all depends. If you were laying on a lounge chair and it was Pirate night you might have seen Karen and Paige with their skirts blowing over their heads!

 

[JLDSMD]

Got a question here. Why is everyone making payments? Why not just keep the money in a savings account until it's time to pay? Am I lost on that one???

I pay it off all at one time. Two payments actually. Deposit after the 6 months at 0% and then the balance at about 100 days.

The only payments I may make would be to fund the room account. However, with all the OBC's and Visa points, I may not need much.

Yes you did have the Chicken brats for your finicky "meat" eating friend. They were fabulous!

I will be serving those again the next time you come over. I just had them a week or so ago and they were really good.

I've had turkey brats from the Turkey Store, but these are better. Too bad there isn't the nutrition chart on it to know the real points per brat. I'm just assuming because they are using chicken, they are better than Johnsonville's.

I'm in for Palo brunch but I'll have to find a date. Tuna won't go.

I told you, you could come with our group.

Is Tuna sure he doesn't want to come? They have a lot of different things there.

I know Chris won't be going on the Repo, so Hazel is going to come with us. Maybe Chris and Chuck can go to Topsiders while you and Hazel join us in Palo on the BOB.

I think we did, but that shouldn't be too hard since we make up about 1/2 the BOBers (o.k., maybe only 1/6).

 

[JLDSMD]

O.K. all caught up.

Time to get ready for work.

Talk to y'all later.

 

[disgrits]

Hey don't forget about us.....let me know when ya'll are doing the brunch. I'd like to do dinner just me and Rob but brunch is fun with a group....

What surprised you the most on your last (or previous) cruises? This question can also assist our 1st time cruisers.

Mine has got to be the friendliness of at least 95% of the passengers. I really didn't see any grumpiness. Everyone was so friendly.

I was also surprised to see so few children during the day. I really didn't think they'd rather be in a club.

Must be the Disney atmosphere.

What surprised me was the amounts of comments from other passengers about why everyone was dress up for formal nights. That's the thing I like most about dining an a cruise ship is the changing for dinner.

Loved meeting all the KK'ers at 3pm.

If he is out in Oconomowoc again, he should stop at Piggly Wiggly. I think Fox Brothers owns the one out there too. They own the one in Hartland.

Get their meatloaf, it is really good. No need for you to do any prep, just put it in the oven.

Also, that is where I get our Chicken Brats. Those are the Bomb also. Did I not serve those at the Packer Party?

A kind request?

Jeff - do you think you could bring me a Piggly Wiggly carrier bag when we meet up in August?My sister and brother-in-law keep mentioning PW when we talk about their trip to the US some years ago, and I would love to have a bit of a laugh with them!

Hi Becky.

Becky is here to talk.

115 days as of tomorrow Becky!

We're almost down to double digits.

I trolled the DS earlier today. Guess DCL is still having problems but hopes to have them fixed within a couple weeks. Good thing because we book on the 19th.

Can you believe the WB sails in like 18 days? I'll be bouncing of the wall when we hit that mark, especially since that means I'm only 15 days away from leaving.

Jeff - we have to be up at 5.00am in the morning to try and book our excursions, but it will be worth it.

I almost bought myself a new passporter on tuesday. They are so tempting all new and stuff. Maybe when we're less than a year out I'll purchase a new one.

Right now I have to get prepared for our August WDW trip. I still don't have a rental car!

I've been tempted to buy a new passporter too, but I'm making myself wait until next year so it's more current.
