Good afternoon all! Well I'm have a great time at this ladies conference. We are on our afternoon break before going to dinner and then back for some more lessons. I'm telling you all it's great here in NJ. It's such a great time of fellowship with the ladies in the church. The speakers are awesome. Kay is one of my favorites. She is such a southern lady!!!!

Well I think we are down to 19 days. I kinda of lost track when I left home yesterday. I can not wait. Sometime next week we will have our cruise documents I can not wait. Well I guess I'm going back to the room to get a drink and a snack. talk with you all tomorrow. Have a great weekend. God is so good!!

I'm glad you like NJ.

Me, I can't wait until next year when I can move to FL.

I like the FE pics! Nice job.

Cruise docs came today!!!! Only 15 more days until we leave for FL.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I continue to pack! I really am trying not to overpack!

UGH! My AAA agent has been USELESS! I called her Tuesday to see where our tockets and docs were, she said the cruise docs would be here shortly and she'd call me thursday to touch base. Yeah, she didn't. I asked if she would at least send me my land portion stuff and she saked if she could wait to send them all together. I said I wanted them now, she said I'll call you Thursday and tel you know what is up w/ the cruise docs and if they weren't here yet she'd overnight the ladns tuff. Again. NADA. She has known squat about DCL and has been completely useless in help. ARGH! I wish I ahd bookwed w/ DU and at elast gotten a good OBC.

I feel like going over there at banging down the door! But of course, they aren't open on weekends!

Sorry. Just had to crab for a few minutes. I'm a toddler having a tantrum right now. I WANT MY STUFF! I WANT MY STUFF!

 

[feenie]

We got our Cruise docs too!!
? for all of you with Kids in your staterooms..
Do they show up in the booklet? Our cruise info only mentions me and Brendon. No mention of Abby anywhere in the book (or on the luggage tags)

I'm not overly worried because she is listed on the online form, but I still want to double check. I did e-mail our Dreams Unlimited agent today when we got home and she actually wrote back to me and said that she had not heard of them not including the kids, but it may be a change for security reasons, but that abby was for sure on our reservation.

 

[ACDSNY]

I had sorta the same problem with my docs. My niece is on our reservation, but not listed on our docs. DCL sent her docs to her address instead.

Maybe DCL sent Abby's to her CA address?

 

[ppony]

Well I got a call from the TA today saying they were there. So I'll go pick them up as well as our WDW tickets and stuff on Monday. I HATE waiting!
I made copies of our passports today, printed out all forms we need, have ALL luggage out and assuming the position (to receive contents), got my check list going. I have all FE stuff portioned out. I just need to make tags for the bags.

I just got an e-mail from Krystyne! She's getting on her first flight over to the States RIGHT NOW! Prayers for a safe flight!

 

[ACDSNY]

Sending Pixie Dust for Krystyne and her family that's a long flight!

I'll bet that's what happened.
I will check with her parents.
They may not be there quite yet, but at least they won't be like, Hey, Abby, YOu got mail! Way to BLOW it!

Uh-oh!!! I hope mom and dad intercepted the mail and knew to keep it from her!

 

[feenie]

Uh-oh!!! I hope mom and dad intercepted the mail and knew to keep it from her!

Me too! She does not check the mail, but if she sees something with her name on it she will want it!
They are not home right now, but I sent her mom a text saying if they see something DON'T give it to her!

FYI...Our all came by UPS instead of regular mail.

Talk about last minute shopping - well, today I got the fe items.

I tried my shorts on to make sure they fit. No problem, but I had to get new jeans, oh well.

I bought a new laptop. I have a sony laptop now; but I've gotten so used to MAC and really like it. I will probably give the sony to my daughter. She loves it when I buy something and she gets the old one.

looking forward to meeting you guys.

Same here! Can't wait to see as many of you as I can!

Macs are AWESOME! of course, as a graphic designer, it's all I ever used and I'd never go back. LOVE my Macbook. I'll get another next year just to keep up on the most current stuff for my business. I'll be bringing the one I'm on now.

I just packed up most of the FEs in 2 carry-on suitcases. Cripse! EXCITING! I'll be picking up my docs tomorrow from the A directly, along w/ my WDW TICKETS! YAY!

AND, as a side-note, I spied a DVC resale contract that looks particularly inviting. I'm waiting though. I'm not committing to anything until the ship at the earliest.

I hope our Aussie friends made it to the states safe and sound!

I'm impressed you've been SO patient. Finding a great resale contract can be fun and there are some great deals to be had. Just don't make our mistake in getting the wrong use year, it's been costly changing over to a different UY. I have faith you'll find the best deal possible and one that's right for your family whether it's through the resale market or Disney.

Are you at Women of Faith

The answer is no its Sword of Lord Ladies Conference. And I just love it. Had a great time. Dr. Shelton Smith is awesome and the lady speakers are out of this world. Just love it!!!!!!!

Wow everyone getting ready.. Time is ticking away. My aunt is making our FE so I have no clue on what they are going to look at. Granny and I are getting some the FE gifts finished. Oh yes its coming.

Praying they maked it safe to the states....\\\

I hope I get an email from my wonderful TA saying he has the documents!!!!!!

Well from what my guide said, October should be good for us since we like to vacation Nov-Jan. Most of the time smack dab in December. SO I'm hoping October makes sense. Does it to you? We still may do an onboard booking but we'll see. Apparently they give nice incentives there because they know you are tapped out from the cruise so they like to make it look more enticing. That's what my guide said anyway. pssst: I think it's going to be SSR. But I need to see it for sure first. If we buy through Disney, we might split our contract between SSR and AKV with 1/3 going to AKV and the rest at SSR so we can go to AKV every 3 years.

I've HAD to be patient! Not a lot of "extra" $ lying around. Okay, NONE. All has been going towards paying down CCs and saving for the trip.

I was surprised that our FE gifts took up a whole suitcase - and it's the big one too. oye the soda cans take up a lot of space.

I'm gonna guess the flight from austrailia to orlando was probably 16 hours - just flight time. I'm wondering just how long they spent traveling. Quite a trip for a disney vacation.

tried making both of the FE to hang by our door. We bought 2 more christmas stockings just this week - wouldn't you know it. couldn't find 'em. Oh boy

October would be a geat UY for you. I personally love SSR since we typically go in Oct/Nov when the park hours aren't very long it's nice to be so close to DTD. To me the resort is very peaceful and I don't mind being away from the parks. The resale prices on SSR are way low right now and MF are less than AKV. Both resorts are large enough you should be able to make reservations at the 11 or 7 month mark at either one with no problems.
