Dawn, is Skylar not going with ya'll?

Nope. He's decided to stay home. He's staying with his mother and papa. He rather play his guitar, music and talk with his friends. Umm...you'll think he was 13 or something

dang, not much would make me give up 15 days in Disney...wait nothing would make me give up 15 days in Disney!!lol

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Dawn, sounds like your all set for a Magical time.

we want lots of pictures!!

Hi Wendy,
long time no see posts from you. Nice to see you here again.
Only got up to 88 today, what a relief after 4 days of 105 or above.

Well my dirty dishes are still waiting for me. I tell them they can leave but they never seem to listen to me so I best get to them.

Maybe I should let the pups do them tonight. Pixies tongue cleans as good as Palmolive does without standing over a sink of hot water

Later all,

Kathy

Sounds like a great trip Dawn, you are going to have so much fun. Is this Elizabeth's first time?

I just found out something intersting (besides our itineraries being announced next month). Disney no longer does staggered dining. Early seating is 5:45 and late is 8:15.

Hi Denise,

feels strange not to be insulted all day doesnt it I'm sure Greg will post during his trip and make up for all the quiet times here.


Hi Christine,

I had heard they changed the dining again. That is the way it was originally when we first cruised DCL. It took a bit longer to get your food it seemed but other than that you cant tell any difference.
They can only fit so many people into each restaurant so it feels the same.
It is harder for the servers because the kitchen area is much harder to move around in, thats why it took longer.
Maybe they have solved that problem?? I hope so.

I forgot to post that on our last cruise at the Castaway Club meet the Captain did say that when the new ship replaces the Wonder and she goes to LA the Magic will do 3 & 4 day cruises and the new ship will do the 7 day cruises.
I didnt say anything before because I wanted to check with others who were there to make sure they heard what I heard and they did.

So this should be on 7 day on the new ship. No promises but that is what the Captain said. I am cruising 11/7 and will try to ask again to make sure it is still going to be that way
I'll let everyone know what I find out.

They are announcing the new itinerarys on Sept 12th so you will be able to rebook on your November cruise.

I'm touched that you miss me so much Denise.

We made it to Orlando a few hours ago and checked into the Marriott. We just ordered pizza delivery and will let the kids swim in the pool before bed. Our flight for Jamaica leaves at 9:30am tomorrow morning.

I'll check in after we get to Jamaica.

Kathy: Actually I hope its a 7 day cruise. I would book a b2b if the nana's were going, however, I would prefer a 7 day....so hopefully we can find out next month.

at this point I would just like to be going anywhere!!!!

oh yeah, I leave in 14 days to see Izzy.....

I know, I never can get enough Disney--neither can one of my daughter's. My other two children did the same thing, though a little older. We've have spent more than half their lives at Disney I guess it gets old

This will be Elizabeth's 4th time . She was 8 weeks, 11 months, and 15 months the last times that she went.

Woo hoo, bet you can't wait!!!

Yes I just read that September they will be announcing the cruises I love getting that 10% off and room credit and for now they are still doing the half price deposits. I am sure they will still be doing that in November.
YEAH!!! Plus we will know which ship for sure



Denise,
I dont want to do Nassau twice so we won't do 3/4 B2B but we will book what ever 7 day this will be. I like Nassau but it usually costs more to do that than a 7 day and I am on a strict budget so I can get in my 14 day TA cruise in 2010 too.
Just too many crusies and not enough money or vacation time

Got to go, Brother called and mom is going to the hospital. She has been going downhill fast lately. Her lungs are filling with fluids from her congestive heart failure, so they are going to see what if anything they can do.
She takes meds to get the water off but they take several days to work and at the rate the water is collecting the last 4 days she wont have enough time for that to work. She has gained 13 pounds in one week all fluids.

Back when I can, may be a long night for everyone here,
Kathy

Morning all,
Nice and cool this morning. only getting to 80 today

Mom still in hospital. Hoping she will get out soon and go back to the facility where she lives. But that may never happen. Its tough getting old. I will know more later today.

Hope everyone is having a great day today, enjoying the summer before winter arrives. This summer seems to have been flying by for me.

Back when I can,, just wanted to drop by and say hello.

Kathy

Everyone

Kathy hope mom is doing better

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Thanks Christine,
But it isnt looking good. Now her kidneys are shutting down. Not sure she will ever get out of the hospital again, if she does she will probably go to a hospice facility.
Waiting for news to see if she is conscious or not or if she even has her mind still. She was out of it last night. Probably wont know us now even if she lives for awhile.

Not a good time for me.

Back when I can.

Hope your not roasting still. We are down to 80 for a few days then a couple in the upper 70's which will be so nice
