Going to guess at 3-5...

As long as it's not on deck 6 with the streaking children!

 

[MrsMork]

well I hit 400 posts. to think I only had 10 before meeting all you guys.

I know I am not as

as a lot of you but I really am having fun with this

This has been a fun ride, hasn't it? E ticket for sure!

 

[MrsMork]

He looks right at home. Awesome! I wish we could do that, but nobody to see it. LOL. Well, this is one or two places above us that might get a peek once in awhile. You can really see our place from down below, even though we have a good view of the valley.

I think he meant to say you CAN"T see our place from down below.

the answer is that they do not have the summer stuff out all year long Caroline. when I forgot my bathing suit in Jan. at WDW everything was gone and I was hard pressed to find one bathing suit in the stores. I mean they act like Jan. is cold when it is really almost 80 every day.

I think we may be good on summer stuff now. At least I am hoping. If you see us in the same clothes all week, just don't stare!

 

[pyramid2000]

I really wish I had done this before. everyone else seems so calm.

Amy - how about giving us some calming words. Angie?

someone sane tell me that it will all work out. LOL.

It will all work out! The only thing you need to worry about is getting to the port by 3pm with the proper identification.

 

[MrsMork]

This is unusual, since we always pack the day before we go. LOL!

That's just your stuff!

 

[MrsMork]

I will be stopping in Warner-Robbins GA. Looks like it is over an hour away from Atlanta. I took I 75 from there last September.

Send Patsy a PM. I think she is a bit east of Atlanta. When we were there we met at Stone Mountain Park, east of Atlanta and she said she lived very near there.

Just curious guys . . .

We have talked an awful lot about photos, but just wondering if anyone is really into video? I am debating whether to take my camcorder too. There are two problems with the camcorder.

1. I cannot operate two cameras at once. Amy will do it for me, but it annoys her.

2. It annoys me to do it too. Somehow when I have the camcorder, I feel "left out" of the action, and it feels like I have some kind of job to do taking footage. Ruins being "in" the experience for me. I don't feel that way with my still camera.

I was erasing stuff off of the computer yesterday and found my iMovie of my stills from our last Disney vacation, and then found out I could export it to my iPod! Whooooo hooooo!

iPod+iMovie= GREAT!

We always lug the camcorder, but rarely ever use it.

My tree has been up for two weeks.
I have 3 large, 2 med, 2 small and my rolling laptop bag.
I have everything packed but some of DH cloths and no I wont let him pack for himself are you crazy.

WEATHER
The weather her for the next few day is sundy high 29, monday high 27, tuesday17, weds is a HIGH OF A WOPPING 9, Then you look at disney weather and thursday is a high of 82. You cant beat that can ya. It snowed here again today not much but enough to cover the ground. I have to program my tracfones now. Mum

Can we say Brenda is officially the first one packed??

 

[pyramid2000]

I saw the 900 before I signed off though so I really did intend to go to sleep. Too much on my mind too. DH called MIL today. She was in the hospital last week getting her kidney tube replaced because it was blocked off. She was very sick from that.

More your way.

Lisa,

I had to go and lift my mom yesterday because the nurse will not do it when she comes to change her catheter. Having ill parents is really difficult. It is such a role reversal from when we were little. Mom cannot leave her chair in the living room without someone lifting her. Monday I have to get her in a wheelchair and out the door for a doctor visit.

John, I hope you were able to find someone reliable to help while you are gone. You are a very good son.

 

[pyramid2000]

Elaine, I am actually getting worried because I am NOT stressing out at this point.

 

[pyramid2000]

NO I havent got the docks. I called costco last wed and told then I still havent gotten then and then asked them to send them to the resort for me. I thought we shouldnt get any though becouse I did all the stuff on line.

Also anyone know. My TA has messed up a few times the latest time being even after I sent her copies of our flight stuff she had DSD on our ressies instead of DH, then when she fixed it she still has him coming in the same day as us and he isnt coming in tell the 2nd. Is this going to matter with ME. Do I need to call them and change it. His laugage tags even say her name and the ta said we will not get new ones. I figure I will just cross out her name and write his. Then we have gotten nothing about our stay after the cruise, Hello where is our paper work for that one. Not happy about it.

Now this kind of stuff would have me stressed and irked!

 

[pyramid2000]

YO HO! YO HO! A pirate's life for me!!!

Congrats Lisa !!

Now that would be funny ...got to do that ...

 

[MrsMork]

thanks all for your help with Ken's Mom. I know she will really love meeting everyone.

I have to warn you that she is really proud of her grandchildren so you may be hearing a lot about them. She has 4 grandchildren - all born since she turned 80.

Well, I certainly can understand that! Have I told you about my grandchildren? Five we have five. Oldest 17, the band geek that we chaparoned at DL and the youngest 7, Aaron that is going traveling with us this trip. The three between them are special too. We will be happy to fill you in! Grandmas are entitled, Elaine. Everyone just has to listen to us.

are we allowed to tape the shows on the ship? I have seen a person on ebay recently selling the shows from the wonder but I thought you were not allowed to tape them. DD would love it if we did. she did get the okay to do her chorus paper on the shows. she sent an email to dcl asking if she could do an interview with one of the main players in one of the shows. she hasn't gotten a response yet. I think I will suggest she send another email this week. hopefully she can do a little one on one so that she can get some background info.

I hope she gets to have the interview! That would be so fun!!

 

[lbgraves]

Good morning everyone!

John, the kids love the house!

 

[lbgraves]

does dcl have these available right when we get on board? I think we can get them at the ice cream place on the pool deck

ROFL! No! They are available at dinner in the dining rooms and thru room service.
