[Kabuli1]

YEAH!!!!

 

[dheller97]

Gary and Gail-

The "Dean of Mean" thanks you very much. It came as a big surprise and it was very thoughful of you.

"Magic memories live forever."

Dean

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Being co-chairman has it's advantages, Dean.

WWWD? (What Would Walt Do?)

800 Posts and counting!!! Go Group!!!

HADD!!!

 

[dheller97]

OK, if I got this figured out right, we actually have just 28 posting days left since most of us will probably be in transit on Jan 30th. So, if we want to reach the 1,000 mark in postings, we only need to post a little over 7 times every day.

Yeah, I think we can do it, dudes and dudettes!

Dean

 

[OKWMEMBER]

Totally, dude! I am soooo into that, man!

Shingle, what are the details for the Illumination Cruise? Where and when do we meet you and how much do Gail and I owe you?

Can you believe it's January already? And down the stretch they come!!! I can almost taste the Mickey Ice Cream Bars!

(8th post of the day! We got the quota!)

It's snowing. See, what Mother Nature apparently doesn't understand is that we want snow BEFORE Xmas, and FOR Xmas, but after that she needs to take it away so we can get to Florida unhindered.

*sigh*

No word from Disney to my TA/MIL yet re: our Palo ressies...she's going to try to find out the status of our docs and such.

I can't believe I still have 2 more days off...not that this was much of a "vacation" what with the flu and the kids coming down with it now, but...

Hey, anyone ever take a taxi from MCO to, say DTD? We arrive in Orlando on Friday at 10am! I'd love to get to Downtown Disney just to walk around, but I don't want to rent a car or anything just for a few hours!!

 

[Scott5150]

I think that a taxi would be VERY expensive. No one uses taxis to and from the airport. If it is only one person, you probably would get the best deal from Mears. It it is multiple people, a car service.

Any way you look at it, you are probably starting looking at a good chunck of change for that little excursion.

I just filled out my docs today! Getting excited and all. I am out of town for 2 of the next 4 weeks, so I gotta do everything WELL in advance.

I am in Germany for a week right before our cruise. I literally will be in an airplane (3 legs) for 14 hours on Jan 29, and then we fly to Florida on Jan 30. I have about 17 hours at home between trips. Just enought time to do a few loads of laundry and begin to recover from Jet Lag!

Ooof! 14 hours on a plane, only to get back on one less than a day later? You are a brave man! My daughter is going to New Zealand/Australia in July, and that's a LONG trip - Boston to LA, to Aukland NZ - I don't think that's set in quite yet. *grin*

Yeah, thinking about it, it's probably best to avoid the whole Downtown Disney thing...and use that $$ on the cruise instead...but there are these Mickey wine glasses you can ONLY get at the World of Disney and I'd love to pick some up, people always comment on them at my house and it's fun to have some as gifts.

Ah well. We can shop around the airport! I wonder if there's a place to buy flip-flops...cause there are arent' here in the Northeast in winter! I have found some online, but... *shrug*

we're dancin' Arrggghhh Randy

 

[dheller97]

Inquiring minds really do want to know -

- when we mail postcards from the various ports, is US postage acceptable or do we need to purchase the local postage?

Dean

 

[Cap]

When you mail postcards, you need the postage of the country from which you are mailing them. At Castaway Cay, there is a small post office that sells stamps. I don't think the mail goes out four times / day, however.

 

[jedokids]

We got our Documents today!!! I am soooooo excited!!! It makes it all real now!
I am getting in line to do the document dance!!!

[dheller97]

WAY TO GO, jedokids!
I'm happy for you - I don't need them, Cap, Nikki and I are using e-documents.

Dean

 

[OKWMEMBER]

All Right, Jedokids!!!

We're doin' the Doc Dance with you!!!

 

[Annie12345]

Hi everyone - wow, the way we're going, we'll hit the 1000 mark in no time...
Shingle, did you already pay for the illuminations cruise or do you pay when we get there? I could send you some $$ if you've already paid... We're looking forward to it - it's not something we've ever looked into before and it looks great!!
I guess the gloating about the unseasonably warm weather in our neck of the woods has backfired. It is soooo cold today! I can't believe it. It's -34 C. I was hoping to coast through a warm January to take us to Cruise Day.
Dean, we just received the magnets. Thanks so much, they are very cool!!!

HADD!!!

 

[goofyaboutmickey7]

Hi Dean thanks for the cool magnets Arrr4rggghhhhh
Randy

 

[dheller97]

Hi, Randy - glad you liked them. I've still got a few left. If anybody wants them, just let me know and I'll drop a couple in the mail to you.

Hey, everybody - my sneakers came today! I'll see if I can figure out how to post a picture of them this weekend for everyone to enjoy.

Dean

 

[The4OfUs]

Your mission, should you choose to accept it...FIND FLIP FLOPS IN NEW ENGLAND IN JANUARY BECAUSE OUR SILKY TERRIER ATE ALL THE ONES FROM THIS SUMMER... *sigh*

Well, I hit Old Navy, and I found some for me, for like 3 dollars! And some for DS, with a graphic of sharks on it, and some for DD, with slight heels, and fabric between the toes instead of the plastic, cause she's ... picky. *grin*

Whoo hoo! It's snowing and I am trying on flip flops!

Gotta order DH's online tho...

 

[Cap]

The4ofUs,

I understand the feeling. Had to go to six stores on Hilton Head last October because I forgot to pack my swim suit. Everyone except the last said they were "out of season". Of course, with Xmas over, I would think the stores would now have the summer items out, or perhaps they have moved on to Halloween already. Eventually they'll be a full year ahead and back in sync.

So what will your dog select for his next course? Keep the documents away from him.
