I guess this was my punishment for working late today. I missed chat!

We are having Florida issues. We have 4 offices in Florida and were only able to get 2 of them back online today. One of the offices that is still down is a hub for our office in Dominican Republic. That means, that if the main one is down, so is the secondary. Surprising enough, the office that was hit the worst was up and running today. That was in Melbourne. Go figure!!! We were VERY grateful for that. Well, I guess I will have to wait til next week for the next chat. I think I will manage...

Hey Y'all,

I loved seeing everyone's pictures on Linda and Sarah's family website! Thanks so much for doing that, Linda and Sarah!!!

Also, does anyone think our scheduled ports (including CC) might be diverted due to the storm activity this season? Just wondering if this would/should impact my attempts to plan excursions by next week!

PoohJen -

I couldn't agree with you more...The pics look great and it is so neat to see pics of everyone before we go!!!

Keep them coming everyone!!!!

Can ya'll believe that Sarah has her clothes packed already??!!

Have a great day!!

She does??? Where did you hide them, Lizzie?

Hey guys, I had to pick up Rachel from school early. She is running a fever, stomach bug I think.

Anyway, I talked to John earlier while I was at work, and he had just talked to Disney, and the word is that CC was NOT destroyed completely.

They should be able to make whatever repairs necessary in a couple of weeks.

Of course the vegetation probably won't be a pretty as all of us former cruisers remember it, but the island is still there.

John said that they told him (he talked to a supervisor) that the majority of the damage was to the sand. It will have to be dredged out. That is also a big problem at Port Canaveral.

Go ahead and book those CC excursions Jeanna. Parasailing and Banana Boating here we come!!!!!!!

So great to see everyones' pictures! Now we'll know who's who. I'll be sending ours soon, gotta charge the camera.
You're not alone, Sarah, we're almost completly packed too!
Good to have you back, Pat!

So glad we will be going to CC, I've heard it's a wonderful place!
Has anyone booked a cruise on the cruise? And if so, what kind of discounts were offered? (we're already planning the next one )
John made us a beautiful door sign!!

 

[cjsmom97]

mrsmg - Are you kidding?? You must not know who you are dealing with!?!?! We are OC!!! Not only have we thought about it, but a few of us are deposited on the 12/3/05 Western Cruise already!!! Come on and join us!! We are quite the crew!!

 

[mrsmg]

cjsmom97- Wow, you guys are really great!! I guess I shouldn't have doubted you! Now I'm afraid to ask the next question but here goes nothin'... How many of you are DVC members? We joined in 2001. With 8 in the family we thought it would be the most economical for us.
We will definitly check out the 12/3/05 western when we are on the ship. I hope to get a good discount. Thanks!

 

[cantsitstill]

Hey! Does anyone know?..........we already booked the 12/15/05 land/sea. Can we cancel and rebook it on board and get all the discount/stateroom credit perks? We got one of the secret porthole rooms and don't want to give it up!

 

[adisneymama]

Good morning everyone. I'm going to try to send the pics when Aubrey goes down for her nap this afternoon. Didn't get a chance yesterday, we were gone most of the day.

Hey, I thought I was the only one packing stuff already! LOL

Ok, on the weight loss, I'll try for 12 pounds. (Need to lose more than that, but I think that is reasonable in the time left.)

John, You have created a monster with DH! He loves the sign you made and has burnt a cd with all kinds of jpg on it for me to send to you. Hope he isn't driving you crazy, he thinks he is helping! LOL

Ok, got to run for now. Have a great day everyone!

 

[TinkHappy]

DVC here!! VWL. We love it there. We decided to join because right now, we spend most (OK...ALL) of our vacations at Disney (or the cruise) so it just made sense to us. I did do a financial analysis and basically you are pre-paying for your vacation with DVC...but, the reason we decided to go-for-it...the rooms you get with DVC are WONDERFUL. Full kitchen, washer&dryer, ect...

We love DVC!!

Hey Jen,

I didn't want to post this on the main thread that you started, to many "outsiders" reading those posts. hehehe

If you pack your laptop in your checked luggage, you will probably regret it.

There are just to many dishonest people floating around in our world today,(you should already know that ms corporate) and you certainly don't want anyone to get ahold of your precious pictures, along with whatever else you have in there.



Just get your strong strapping husband to carry it for you until you can get into your stateroom. (isn't that why we have DH's, to carry the heavy stuff for us)

 

[PoohJen]

yep, you're right Susan! Actually, as I was posting it, I realized the "potential" of someone tracking me down on my cruise to steal my laptop. But I knew I probably wouldn't check it. I may not even bring it; just get my pics transferred on St Martin's or, spend the $ and get it done at Shutters. hmmm, only 65 days left to decide....

 

[PoohJen]

P.S. - I saw the sign John did on the H's website - awesome! I am completely ashamed now of my amateurish door signs...

Where would you get your pictures transfered in ST Martin? and how???? what is the cost at Shutters - I am assuming my pix would be put on a CD?

Tell me please - quick!

 

[KyCruisinSusan]

Pat there is a post somewhere on the board that says you can get your photos downloaded to a cd in St Maarten for about $12.

Shutters is very very expensive, compared to this.

I believe that the place that does it is somewhere fairly close to the port.

Hey Jen, since you are bowing to his sign design creativity, you could always ask him to do one for your family too.
