12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 11

[becka]

Well back to work for me...I will check in later with you chatty people!

 

[lillygator]

I think I'll have to start doing that for Samantha. She would probably really enjoy that.

I still can't believe we are under the 30 day mark....is this really possible??!!

 

[Bella2000]

There are several dresses I want to order off the internet. Trouble is the size...I am not sure if they will fit or how they will hang. I don't usually order clothes for myself but these are great buys on dressy dresses.

Can you post a link, V?

Exactly what I was going to ask. I've been looking on Nordstroms and Neiman Marcus.

 

[brack]

Well, at least there are short lines at the men's room . . . although I remember going to concerts in my college days where women used the men's room because of long lines . . . wonder if that happened last night?

I have been in a Men's Room using the facility and had a woman come in and use the toilet!

I think I just may have made a big mistake. This morning I was checking the prices of the cruise again and noticed that the category 12 went down to only $1282.16, this price does not include transfers or insurance. Paul and I originally booked at category 7 and paid $3058 for it. So, i was thinking of switching us to save us some money. Well, I called costco and they quoted me the $1282.16 price, so I said sure, go ahead and switch us. Well, after she switched us she came back on the phone and said costco could only guarantee the amount of $1882 for the cruise and the rest of the savings would be up to the DCL accounting department. I was so angry as I told her we were only going to do it if we got the $1282 price. So, I am sitting at work just wanting to fall over right now. The money is a huge savings and it will pay off my car, which will be nice becuase we want to start looking for new homes.

Anyways, I emailed costco telling them how upset I was with the travel agent and that I was quoted the one price and was given the other. I know that they don't have to honor anything after the final payment is due, but I told her only if it was the cheaper price. So now, I just hope i didn't mess up our trip.

never seen/heard Off Kilter - least I don't think so.

Vanessa, they play at Epcot - Canada. They are an amazing band - Bagpipe rock and roll! DrHug has all their CDs. Another story with those of excellent customer service. He bought 2 CDs while there in 2004, then we did the 10 day cruise, and somewhere in all that we lost the CDs. We called BCV and asked of they had been turned into lost and found. Nope, but the very, very sweet gal who talked to DrHug for hours about everything including the CDs went to the Canada pavillion and got 2 CDs and sent them to him. We lost them somewhere, but she still replaced them free.

So, you still have your original room, right??? She didn't cx you?? Maybe your email will get some response and get the price quoted. Bait and switch is NOT good!

 

[lillygator]

I said it was nice....

 

[MrsMork]

will have to check them out!

I'm betting you and Johnny would like them alot. DrHug said you can find them online and even hear samples of their music.

 

[MrsMork]

We liked it at our house. DrHug and I were Sorry we skimmed and didn't post. Was in a posting frenzy at the time.

 

[brack]

Looks like some of the camera geeks are posting... I'm finally going to get the Canon rebel xti (yes, I have been shopping and thinking about this since August....) Now I'll have enough time to play and practice before the cruise. Brack, did you get the battery grip, too? Do you like the feel with that on the camera?

Yes I bought the grip and I love it. It gives the camera a little more bulk to hold on to. It is worth it.

 

[MrsMork]

I'm off for awile now. Dennis is leaving for work. I should get at least something done around here today.

 

[DisneyVegas1]

I said it was nice....

Nice , Nice sounds like something someone says to a person showing them an ugly puppy so is not to be rude ...LOL

 

[lillygator]

Todd - did you make it yourself?
