I think there are several $1.5-2 tolls along the way. Can't remember ezactly and I would bet they have gone up.

I can't remember exactly how much either but I do remember we put about $20 worth of quarters in a baggie and kept it in the car and it was more than enough for all of the tolls we paid on our entire trip to and from Florida.

has everyone who is staying at WDW made their reservations?
I am on the phone with WDW right now and there is NO availability at ANY resort 12/7-12/9. I was still trying to change.....I just hate to waste so much money for a two night stay where we won't even be able to enjoy the pool, etc.

Those with room only reservations have until 5 day out to cancel right? I would call starting on 12/2 really early and see if you find anything opening up.

I think I will try that...if not, I will probably cancel and just room with my mom for two nights. The savings (and extra cruise spending money, not to mention on site babysitter) would be worth it.

[lillygator]

Thanks!!

and actually I just figured out if I stay with mom, that would be our deposit for rebooking onboard!

OK, just did a quick camera setup (installed battery, CF card, etc), turned it on in full auto mode, and took a shot of Walt (obviously did not comb his hair that still needs to be cut, and I think there may be some lunch on his face...)
So, before I go off to learn more, here's the first shot to share.

Its a new nintendo game...from what i've heard its one of those interactive physical games - for example, you stand in front of the TV with a tennis racket and actually swing the racket to hit the "ball", or whatever...

Wii is pronounced "WEE", as in you buy this and your money will go "wee wee wee" all the way to the store.... :

That was funny.

Crazy people and their infatuations with these fad items...I have to disagree with buying into these kinds of things because they just show people its ok to fight and be ignorant to one another for the sake of a stupid game that will be obsolete in 6 months...granted the Wii crowds were not nearly as bad as the PoS3...

Remember all of those non electronic "fads" - Cabbage Patch Kids and before that Beatles tickets and before that Frank Sinatra. Sadly I think these same people would probably still behave badly whether they were buying a fad product or not. Perhaps that just gave them the excuse to outwardly reflect what is within?

Lisa you got me kind of nostalgic so I went back to first of this thread.

It was started on November 25, 2004 two years this week!

I was the 22nd post and the 10th person to post on the thread. One of the other 9 was never really on the cruise (HappyLawyer) he was booked on the Wonder during our cruise.

It has been a very long wait and I for one am ready but it has been a very fun ride on this thread!

That is cool!

I would also like to take the opportunity to add my voice to the choir (directed by Brandi of course ) and says Thanks to Lisa for all of your hard work coordinating this wild group!

To everyone else I just want to say 19 more days!!!!!!

Woo HOO!!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY V!!!!

I have a raging sinus infection. I suppose I should have gone to the doctor a week ago...but at least I will be getting relief soon!!! I still feel like my head might explode. This has been growing since a few weeks ago when I was whining on this thread! I just hope my kids and Dh don't get it!

 

[klineyqueen]

I'll check back later...have a good one!

 

[MrsMork]

wow!! I was excited there with you for a moment!

Me too! She really had us going!

 

[lillygator]

I remember Cabbage Patch Dolls....my first cruise, with my grandparents....I was holding twins in their red velvet xmas outfits in our boarding photo!

First of all . I hope you feel better very soon!

Secondly the actual sinus infection is not contagious. Now whatever cold, etc.. caused the sinus infection could be but if you started with it weeks ago you may be OK. You would think they would have caught it by now.

We sure have been a sick bunch lately. Let's hope we get it all out of our systems now so we are better in a little over 2 weeks!
