12/6/07...Anyone with us?

[Hannosmom]

I was part of a "test group" for their new procedure when I was out west last fall. Better than sitting on the floor for an hour!!! But some people still "didn't get it" and anxiously lined up, which caused a domino effect of anxious queuing. It'll work great when everyone gets used to it!

BTW, it took me over a year to get used to SWA's open seating. I hated it and the whole line up thing. But they are the easiest to get free flights with, and they finally won me over! (the 24 hour before check in certainly helps too!).

Anxious queuing
When we flew SW home from Orlando 9/1, we got a B pass (checked in and printed it on the ship). I was worried about Sarah possibly having to sit alone, so we got a disability pass for her. Only one parent was allowed to go with her, so Ed went, but I was able to join them when the B group boarded.

 

[Hannosmom]

What was that Linda? What? We couldn't hear you! Did you say You Drank the Med Dry??!!!

Ed's catch phrase, LOL!

 

[faireygod mother]

Now I know why I never saw you on the cruise. I just did not go forward enough on the ship.

I am still waiting for the T-Shirt!

Dang, I would've checked you in, Linda! Even my maw has become a seasoned SWA flyer. She always gives me her ressie info so that I check her in the day before she flies home!

and, sniff, as Linda knows and has probably pm'd y'all, laughing behind my back....I've had a very hard day. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=20913662&posted=1#post20913662 I'm so embarrassed. I don't want to talk about it...

I mean, not funny. And go to bed, Sarah!

 

[faireygod mother]

My biggest fear is that happening to me. Hope it all works out for you. Hmmm I wonder if that is why they are moving me on 10/1 for supposedly a 90 day cross training.

oh, don't worry about me! It's an automatically generated warning/block that comes when something doesn't pass our filter's "sniff test". I was actually blocked earlier this year from the Florida State Government website, where a search for sex discrimination laws must've triggered the "s" word too many times (clearly signaling work-hour perversion!)! (for those who don't know, I'm a lawyer)(well, an attorney. I don't like to use the "L" word).

TiggerSis, thank you for your vocal support, BTW! You rock!!! You'll be glad to know I was able to back door my way onto the DIS via my blackberry , boy was I annoyed reading those self righteous posts! Keep it light, folks!

Just saw the Florida resident discounts for November cruises posted on the DIS Boards. Now - when do we hear about December? I need some type of discount - yes, I'm cheap So far we're paying more this year for our 3-day cruise than we did last year for a 4-day cruise. I think we do get a shipboard credit from the Disney Visa (hopefully).

 

[ibouncetoo]

Got my fingers crossed for you, Bev, on the FL discount!

HEY JANICE...I'm thinking of ordering the photopass CD in advance:

http://www.disneyphotopass.com/previsitcdplan.aspx

All four of us ('everyone in your group') could have a card and do all our pictures on one CD. So when any of us go off on or separate advertures, we could still be adding photos to the 'collection'. The good thing about ordering the CD in advance (besides the discount) is when you come home, you can go on line and edit/frame/clip the pictures however you want. Then when you are done and order the CD, you get all the original pictures plus all the ones you've edited on the CD. We would only get one CD, but it comes with a copywrite wavier, so that you can have photos printed at Walmart or wherever if you didn't/couldn't print them yourself. Plus we can mail the CD to each other after downloading into our computers. Wadda ya think....could make some good scrapbooking picutres.

Just spoke to my TA - she feels they will be out soon as today is last payment day...

Hello all. Well, I see Jackie forgot to post that our friend will NOT be joining us for this trip. The $$ scared her off. Oh well. I guess we shouldn't have even brought up the topic until we checked with everybody, but I KNEW she wouldn't end of going. But thought it would be nice to let her know we could include her on the next group fun event! Sometimes my mouth get a head of me... I just got a visual on that!

A work issue has come up and I'm not sleeping. Was up late and can't sleep now... Sunday morning and it's not even 6 and I've been up for over an hour.

I have to "go ugly early" today. Confront my "friend" who I work with about her behavior at work. URGHHHH I HATE this stuff. Why don't people just DO THE RIGHT THING in the first place???? People who are constantly trying to take short cuts in life - don't they get the "consequences" lesson?

Ok all - have a great day. Wish I could just turn off my mind now.

Hey double-dip team....regarding PhotoPass:

"Part of the genius of the system is that there is no limit to how many cards you can have and combine at a later time. That means if your group separates, each group can have its own card to be added to everyone else’s later on. Also, should you forget the card in the room or lose it (glad you wrote the number down now?), you can ask for a new card."

We can all share the same CD (which pre-ordered is $100). The amount of photos is virtually unlimited (999). Whadda ya think? I'll go grab a link to a web site that helps 'splian it.

Glad I am not with you guys. Pictures, who does pictures. This gal is behind the lends, not in front.

Well I leave in three days for DL. I am very excited. I have never been to DL or California. Started packing clothes today. Was trying to think about what CDs to pack for the long drive from Vegas to LA.

Have a great week in case I do not get to post.

Does anyone know if the internet is free in the Disneyland hotel? Not sure if I should take my lap top.

 

[ibouncetoo]

Dee, have a fabulous time and a wonderful birthday! When you are at DL, face EAST and wave to me!

so we divide the $100 by 6-7 = $16-18ish each - and then the multitalented Ed (okay, I AM volunteering him even though he isn't my primary DH ) makes a copy of the CD for us all and we use the release and get the pictures we want printed up at our local walmart??? or home computer????
