12/24/08 Christmas Cruise on the Wonder

[drag n' fly]

It must be an American redneck thing. You might not understand.

A BEER CAN WRAPPY THINGY...of COURSE. I had no idea they had a name! Use them for camping and fishing all the time! That is a cool idea Andy! I think it would be good to include a LGMPH in the pic also with whatever we decide whether it is t-shirts, koozies, pins etc? I have a friend who has a business who makes all this crap. I will talk to him mabey he can swing us a deal?

And now for something important... will the sports they show on the boat include hockey?

Hockey? Andy, I thought you were a southern man? It's FOOTBALL in the south! Just kidding.


Long time ago(2000) they had an ESPN Skybox in the second funnel. I heard they took it out,and replaced it with the teen area "Aloft". Not sure where you would watch now. I know Sunday at WDW my son and I will be watching football THEN going to the parks. GO COWBOYS!

Cirque is cool. I got to see them for the first time in April! You know even if you have a bad meal somewhere chalk it up to an adventure and go with it. Next time you can always eat somewhere else if you want!

Thanks Annette. Ya know, DH and i wouldn't have considered cirque. DS,Michael,and I were watching Samantha's Disney Favs,and he thought it looked cool.(Actually it was more like Kick #$$ ) Then he showed it to Lindsey, who agreed with him. I'd never have guessed at 16 they would enjoy it.

As for Ohana. I guess I think maybe we should try it simply because we are staying at the Poly. At least I know Lindsey would eat the salad and the noodles. You have any idea how hard it is to find a table service restaurant with something she will eat? She says she's a veggatarian,yet she doesn't eat veggies, or meat. So what's left? Veggie burgers,and pizza
That's why we will mostly eat counter service.

Never seen it. I'll have to see it someday. Never eaten at Tutto Italia but I hear it's great!!

Unfortunately our travel is limited as well. Of course there is always summer but I have to switch major holidays with my boss who does the same job I do. One of us always has to be there. She has taken the past two spring breaks (although our kids arent in the same school district it is the same week) and I convinced her to split this coming spring break. I would like the next one all to myself. Maybe I'll see you on the flip side if you know what I mean.

Ok, I'm gonna show my lack of language skills. I checked out the menu on allears. I must say,How do you know for sure what you are ordering? I mean, the menu is mostly in Italian

About vacation and school. This will most likely be our last big family vacation till the twins are out of high school. Dale is unable to take vacation time from spring till Fall. Which leaves us fall and winter,when the kids are in school. Fall break is only 4 days, with 9 weeks tests the week of. Boy the school board really caught on to all the parents taking their kids out the whole week for vacation didn't they? That leaves us with the two week Christmas break to vacation,which is the most expensive time to travel. We will be vacationing closer to home,where we can do a long weekend here and there.

Well another day another drama. Our flight home on the 28th was cancelled Fortunately they were able to find us another flight....a real milk run. Tampa to Charlotte...Charlotte to Denver...Denver to Calgary, We leave at 3:30pm and arrive home 11:47pm Calgary time. We are 2 hours behind.....never been to Charlotte so that will be cool!

Today I go and view my requested tattoo for a final lookyloo and it goes on Thursday. It is disney related, involves tinkerbell, a hidden mickey and my kids.................stay tuned....not that anyone cares

Who says we don't care? A hidden Mickey sounds interesting. Can't wait to see it.

I keep checking our AA flight. So far so good. AA offers alot of non stop flights to Orlando from Dallas,and ours is the first of the day.(6:30 am) Hopefully, they won't mess with ours on either end.

I have no interest in sports, so I can't tell you which one, but some big football game was being broadcast on the giant TV screen (I believe it's called Ariel Vision) above the Goofy Pool during one of our days at sea. Could've been the Superbowl for all I know. Is that in January?

So far, so good on the calling every morning thing. It's not like I'm trying to book a princess breakfast at the Castle or anything.

Sunday, December 21-Dinner at Ohana at 4:05.

Calling every day at 6:00 AM. Cause that's the way we roll, baby. Whoop, whoop! 2 days down, 3 to go. At least I can book both my WL ADRs on the same day.

I thought you were from Canada. I thought they revoked your citizenship if you didnt watch every game or at least HNIC

I got to drive Iginla and Phanuef when they came to Atlanta for the All Star game. Dion Phaneuf was hilarious.

They have All Star Game jerseys of both for around $100 each now at the arena here if you are interested.

 

[adrianna_sarah]

Read your story, Andy. That is pretty cool. How has your health been since?

Adrianna

 

[drag n' fly]

I see everyone has gone to bed. Nighty night guess I will go hang out on Facebook for a few minutes! OMG I would love to get a all star jersey Andy tell me more!

 

[AndymanGA]

Adrianna, I'm doing well thanks.

Drag N Fly, I may be going near the arena today. I'll see what they have and let you know the details.

Andy I just finished reading your story. Thank you so much for drawing attention to organ donation. You have endured a very bumpy road and finding a donation from a stranger (who now will be your lifelong friend) must have been an incredible feeling.

Wow Andy I really would appreciate you checking what's left. You's the man!
