16 days to go and still no docs. Am I the only one? UPS guy has come and gone for today and I'm ready to cry. I know that by Disney's literature it's still not panic time, but on my other cruises I had them well before now. My biggest fear is that they got delivered someplace else (we have that problem a lot out here -- we live kind of in the sitcks and postal and UPS can be really screwey). Wahhhhhhh! Sorry, just had to cry but I want them sooooo badly.

 

[darcimborcherding]

How frustrating!!! Can you call Disney and see how they were sent? Maybe they can give you a tracking number and see where they are? Did you book directly through Disney or through a travel agent?

Good luck. Hopefully your day will come soon!!!!

April, I don't think we need names. I'm going to email my TA and make a ressie for 5 for tea on Sunday, November 28 at 3 PM. I think there is going to be a total of 10 because I think Scrappy (Millie) is going to join us too! This will be soooo much fun! If you don't mind April, could you make a ressie for 5. Maybe they could even link them with mine (Denise Tuleya) so we can all sit together. I'm going to email TA now and make my ressie. I'll let you know how it goes!

Denise and April

THANKS for taking care of the tea ressies for all of us, how nice!!!

[Scrappy520]

Yeap, you bet I'm joining you ladies for the 3pm Tea [Party!] on Sunday.

Oh gee, I forgot I have to dress up for this one too! Oh well, another reason to go out shopping!

I'm really looking forward to this get together.

[april riddle]

No problem Denise will do - ok those of you that have had 11 year old sons tell me that they become human again. I just ran into someone at the grocery store (someone who irritates the you know what out of me to begin with) and starts asking me if Zacch has his three (not one not two but three) projects done yet? of course I don't know anything about them and call him at home and ask him how are the projects going? He said - I don't have any projects due - all due the Friday we are leaving - and I am on administration call this weekend so will probably spend a majority of the weekend at the hospital. I then call DH and read him the riot act about Mr. Lazy. This is a accelerated learner with a 97% average but he is so freaking lazy I can't stand it. When I get home I ask him when they are due and he said oh they said I can hand them in when we get back - I ask him just when are you going to have time to do them if we are away? Can you guys see the smoke coming out of this post - I would just love to spank the heck out of him. But I am too old - too busty, and too darn tired to try and catch him. CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am praying really hard that I can get through the teenage years without a break down! maybe I will act like the little smilies and just drink.

 

[Scrappy520]

Oh my goodness, April, I feel for you! And yes, my PC was smoking when I was reading your post.

My sister has 3 girls & 1 of them is like that. She goes insane at times too. I have a dd8 - so I guess I better learn from others & be prepared for whem mine hits those pre & teen yrs.

Maybe a few of these will help!

Oops...I forgot about that part!!!!

 

[dtuleya]

Ok, I just can't help posting! Two weeks from tomorrow we'll be leaving on our very first Disney Cruise! We got the DVD from DCL in the mail Tuesday and have been watching it every night since! For those of you that have the Video and not the DVD, you don't know what you're missing!

 

[bodickmagic]

Hi everyone,
I am so ready for vacation - today, my 2 daughters (ages 2 and 2 1/2) had dropped off my Tahoe since we are driving to FL - just getting things off my To Do list. We were given a loner car and on the way, got rearended!! My first car accident ever! We are all okay, save my sore shoulders and neck. I just took Aleve and went on line to check with everyone - the laughs I got here were the best medicine!

btw - i forgot to mention earlier that MIchael and I are celebrating our ten year anniversary and we booked the Butterfly Tour on St. Maarten!!

Wendyleigh

p.s. Denise - definitely in for Tea - thanks for setting everything up!!

 

[NJ Cruisers]

Wendyleigh - so sorry to hear about your accident, but it sounds like everyone is doing okay. I think you need a vacation!!! .... something like a long cruise!!!

well ... just 9 work days left for me. WHOOPEE .... but wait .. how am I going to get all my work done in 9 days!! Oh well - what doesn't get done will be waiting for me when I get back.

Jeff - I like looking at my countdown clock these days too.

Diane

 

[CurtS]

wendyleigh--I'm sorry to hear about your accident. I'm glad no one was seriously hurt. NJ Cruisers' right--you probably could use a nice long vacation!

April and Denise--thank you for taking care of the tea--I'll cross that off of my "first day" things to do. I really appreciate your doing that.

This is a accelerated learner with a 97% average but he is so freaking lazy I can't stand it.

April--if it makes you feel any better, Chris is the same way. He's highly intelligent, but prefers to lounge around in front of the TV instead of doing his work. He asked last night if he could watch TV since he had read his project research from the Intranet. About an hour later, I had to turned off his TV and advise him that in order to read something, it has to be removed from the printer.

Bob--I'm REALLY trying to enjoy them while they are young!

Definitely need a few

--Curt

[april riddle]

Ok guys we may have a problem. I just got off the phone with Debbie and she said that I could only book two spots. She did not see your reservation Denise because I asked to be linked to your name. (I told her that you had 5 spots and she said that she did not have your name or anyone who had reserved 5 spots. She also said that they only have room for 22 people at anytime. The only time available was Sunday at 330. If any of you girls have an REAS you might want to call. I have two spots and know that DH isn't going to go for tea with me. We may need a different plan. Just let me know. Sorry

 

[CurtS]

If we can't book more than two people through REAS, we'll try to book 3:30 Sunday when we board. I asked Steph if she wanted an REAS to assure a spot and she decided that all of the other amenities for REAS wouldn't be worth the cost--the breakfast in bed would be spilled by children jumping on us, the gift would likely be eaten (even if it wasn't edible) and the turndown service would last until the kids used the bed as a trampoline. Failing booking at boarding time, it will simply have to be adult beverages by the pool.

--Curt

 

[kim bremner]

I don't have a REAS either and would be happy to bow out if we can't get a ressie for everyone or do like Curt and try at the port.

 

[CurtS]

I don't have a REAS either and would be happy to bow out if we can't get a ressie for everyone or do like Curt and try at the port.

...and if we can't get ressies, we'll have to drown our sorrows with some Kahlua in our tea!

--Curt
