10-Oct-2009 - Eastern Magic St. Croix

[Schachteles]

When do you think we should cut off the FE/Secret Mickey stuff? I was thinking a cut-off of something like September 1 (or is that too late?) so we could maybe con a couple more people into participating. Right now, we only have eight people on the list, and I am afraid that a couple of them may be some of those who I missed on the roll call being taken off the list. But what do I know, I've never done this before!

I like the idea of cutting it off right about the 1st, then we have time to get out things together! I am trying to think of what I want to do!! FUN STUFF!

Thanks for taking this over, let me know if you need any help.

It directs me to a login page rather than to your page. I will trust that my info is correct.

I am trying to figure out what I have done wrong. It should work for anyone who happens to follow the link. I guess I thought if it works for me, it works for everyone .

You have to have a google login for it to work. I do and was able to view the spreadsheet. Thanks!

I played around with this several times last night, and I have it set to "not require log-in when following link." It appeared to be working (I had my dh check the link, and I did it without being logged in). I guess I'll just keep both lists updated and try to figure out some other way.

Gee, if you could only see the gesture I'm giving you right now (just kidding)! My fat fingers tend to move faster than my mind and I always make tons of type-o's. That's why I love things like spell check!

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday, I thought I'd be off my crutches by now, but the doctor said "nope, four more weeks". Uggh!! This means that my vacation will be horrible. We leave early tomorrow for St. Louis to visit my parents and other extended family. It's the first time in four years we have been back to the hometown where I grew up, and it certainly won't be much fun on crutches. I guess that just means I won't be overbooked and can actually spend quality time with my parents at their home.

Hello & WELCOME Ninette! (What a fun name!)
My Fam & I will be on the Dubloon & Snorkle for St. Thomas and will probably walk & shop the rest of the day afterwards.
As for St. Croix...no plans yet. I think we're gonna wing it.
Catsaway Cay, You'll find me in the Lagoon, face down with a snorkle in my mouth...My Hubby worshiping the Sun God, (as if he needs to get any more tan), The Teenage Son will be on teen beach,(girl watching, no doubt), and if all goes well, our dear lil monster of a princess will be diggin up treasure at Monstro point for a good portion of the day......AHHHH, family togetherness!!!

:welcome Ninette and family! I have added you to the roll call.

PaigerPoo - I think that we are going to be joining you on Doubloon Snorkel and Sail in St. Thomas, we wanted to do this last year, but the hurricane kept us away. Hopefully this year will be different!

Jac - I think, if I remember correctly (without paging through all the previous posts) you and I were on the same flight out of PHX - US Airways 3 pm on October 8. Did your flight get cancelled? I just got notification that this flight is no longer available through Travelocity and was wondering if you were in the same boat.

I was just jumping on to warn you. I hadn't received a notice but did figure things out when i logged on to US Airways last night to see if the flight was full yet. I checked our reservation (booked through US Airways) and our flight has been changed! Since you booked with Travelocity, how does it work if the airline cancels a flight? Do you have to rebook or do they just move you like US Airways moved us?

And for some reason, I am not receiving DIS Boards notifications. FYI!

Travelocity rebooks the flight for your (so, I am now on the 12:30 flight). I think that I need to change this though. I am supposed to be giving finals at that time. I'm going to be giving my boss a call in the next couple of days to see if he'll let me give finals a day early so I can just get a sub for the day and leave on the 12:30 flight.

What flight did you guys end up on?

US Airways moved us to the 12:30 flight. I know you had needed the 3 pm flight because of school. I'm a little freaked out that we're leaving at 12:30 now instead of 3. That means I have to be at Sky Harbor at 10:30. Which now means most of my packing will have to be completed the weekend before the trip. The one nice thing is we get in earlier to FL!

Oops! I tried to finish up my FE goodies today. Of course, I can never do anything the easy way. I'm not going to tell ya'll what it is, but I did put the wrong dates on it by accident. Then, I was going to iron on something and screwed that up too! So, these FE goodies are going to cost double what I thought. Oh well!

Hey Everyone! Me and my family are getting excited about the upcoming cruise as I'm sure everyone else is too.

Any advice on the best beach/snorkel excursions for a family with kiddos 6 & 7 who swim okayyyyy in a pool which they can grab onto the sides (no, they don't get a lot of practice). And any opinions on excursions taken booked outside of Disney? There may be as few as 5 or as many as 15 in our party any given day.

Thanks Much!

I am glad that you found us!

I wish I could be more helpful on what to do with your kiddos. We keep on changing our plans, but right now, on St. Thomas we are planning on going to Maagen's Bay on our own (just getting a taxi to drop us off/pick us up) and then onto the Paradise Point. Then on St. Croix, we are planning on the 1/2 Day Snorkel and Sail. My kiddos are great swimmers, but we didn't want to do more than one hour snorkeling.

On a side note, if you would like to be added to any of the things we are doing as a DIS group, read just let me know - I also have a roll call if you would like to be added. The link is in my signature.

Yes it is pretty quiet. I keep waiting for someone to start chatting a bit more. Maybe I'm feeling chatty because I am so very bored! My kids are still at their grandparents and will be there until Friday (they will have been with them three weeks total) and I am still on crutches and can't drive, so I am BORED!!!!! And checking this board daily.

Isn't the 90 day mark on Saturday! Yeah!!!! Hey, remember that we can log in and make reservations at 12 PM EST - that means those of us on MST can log in at 9 pm.

 

[DenverVal]

It's 12 AM EST and 10 PM MST. I'll be there.
