Looks like I'm going on vacation posting #2100

Mary, I really like the snow cartoon.

Finally packed, but must get bandaids. You never know...

Talk to everyone when I get back.

Happy Saturday everyone. The rqain has finally stopped.
I will be so glad to get on a plane this Thursday and fly to Florida.

Stacey and Barbara have a great trip.

Karyn, welcome back. I will be leaving in a few days so I will e mail you after our trip. I can't wait to hear all about your trip on the Magic.

Mary, Thanks for swaping pictures for me.

We will be cruising on Celebrity Summit 2/13 to 2/23. I will miss being on the DIS with you all. I will check out St. Maarteen, St. Thomas and St. Lucia for the DC trip. We are also going to Barbados and St. Kitts. I will have a lot of catching up to do when I return. Time to go and pack. Just a quick hello. Have a great day everyone. Talk to you all later. Fondly, Gail

Hey,
Its matt here. Sorry I have not checked in until today. I am not allowed on the PC because I got in trouble. LOL I might get back on in a few days. I am at my friends house now. I just wanted to check in.

Christy: I got a A- on the test.

videogal1: Hope you can get your cabin situation worked out regarding cash.

Mary: Got your pm and totally understand.

TTYL
Matt

David, that would be fun to be on the panel, they might give you some hints about their future plans. Just cross your fingers when they swear you to secrecy, so you can tell us about it! We won't tell, promise...I wouldn't be very good on that panel, since I wouldn't have anything constructive to say. Besides "we love DCL, we love DCL, we love DCL", or maybe "please don't change a thing!"

Good trips to all, hope you all stay warm too. Hate to say it, but we were outside without jackets today. DH has the bug for a new truck, so we were driving Toyota Tundras and Nissan Titans. Both nice, tough decision. Wish he could get one without getting a new car loan, cuts into vacations.

So why do I want to move away from this beautiful climate in NM? Diana

Gail, that cruise sounds wonderful. You will have to give us all the details when you get back, especially about St. Lucia!

Lucky girl - you get to celebrate Valentine's Day on a cruise! How romantic!

Good morning everyone!

Sure is quiet here.

Barb's off to Ireland, Stacey's in Vegas, Gail's packing for her cruise, Karyn's either still in Florida or so busy with house things she hasn't checked in, and Matt's got to stay away for a while. Wow!

Well here's a happy Sunday to all of you who are still here. Checking in before heading out to Mass.

Nascar season officially started last night so we are very happy in this household. Lots of driving on today so I may or may not be checking in.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Donalds_best_pal]

I get to check in right now. I wanted to say hi and happy sunday. It is very quiet here. Hopefully I will be back on full time by tuesday.
Have a Disney Day,
Matt

 

[Dancind]

Karyn and her family are on a Disney cruise this week, I'm pretty sure. It's Princess Aurora's graduation cruise. Diana

 

[gail1771]

Happy Sunday everyone.

I am finally packing. DD had a bitrthday party today and I am very busy getting everything ready for our trip this Thursday. Time goes so fast.

NY is so so cold today. We are expecting more snow this Wednesday. I hope they are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk to you all later. Fondly, Gail

Diana - Karyn's cruise was last week. She was keeping in touch with Barb via e-mail. I think they may be home now but doing the big move to the west coast. I'm sure we'll hear from her once she's settled in.

We have some of the designs for the t-shirts on the web page. Go as if you were looking for a newsletter page of the photo gallery and then click on the t-shirt link.

I beliveve the first two designs would be silk-screened to the back of the shirt and the last 3 could be what is embroidered on the font. Take a look at gaRry's picture in the photo gallery to get a better idea.

So what do you think? Colors?

My original thought was lime green shirts (the DIS color) with the design 3 (holiday bow) in red.

gaRry's design for the back would look better on a medium blue shirt (as the background of the shirt helps make the design).

So #3 could stay in red or be in green.

Opinion? Anyone else have any designs they would like to show us. We asked this before but really didn't get any others.

 

[2belles'mom]

I love lime-green! It is one of my favorite colors to wear, so put my vote there!

I can't wait until Kabuli1 gets here (to the west coast, that is)! Kabuli--email or PM me once you are settled.

Matt--don't know how long you will be away from the boards, but CONGRATS on the A-

And if any of you DVC members have points to spare for rent...PM me!!! I am still trying to talk DH into buying, but renting is the next best things at this point. And we had soooooo much fun at the WL Villas--I don't think it will take too much more to convince him!

 

[Kabuli1]

We're back! Got in about an hour ago! We had a wonderful time. I think we talked some of the 1/31 cruisers into joining us on the 10 day!

Anyway, the next two days are going to be a whirlwind. Got to finish everything and on Wednesday the movers come! My computer is going out in the moving van, so it maybe awhile till I get back on! I'll try to check in before the computer gets put in a box!

I think I wrote this address for the last time on my US immigration papers on Saturday.

Hi Guys,
My dad is letting be on once and a while. Sorry Christy we dont have any DVC points for you. We are using are points faster then we get them. I talking my parents now into doing a cruise on one of the RCCL Mega Ships. We probably might go on the Adventure of the Seas 06/05. Hopefully we can go. I have been looking forward to going on it for a long time. I will check in with you later.
Matt

Happy Monday everyone.

Hi Karyn, Welcome Back!!!!!! You were missed. Good luck with the move. I will e mail you when I return from our trip on 2/23/04. Oh will you have a new e mail address??? If you do please e mail me it when you get settled in. I can't wait to hear all about your trip.
That is great if more join in.

Matt, We were on the Adventure out of San Juan, PR. We cruised in July of 2002. We loved it. It was awesome and great for all ages. I hope you all get to go. If you or your family have any questions e mail me and I would be happy to fill you in on all the ship has to offer.

Mary, I Love the bow design for the front of the shirt and I like the Holiday ball one too. I also like Design #2 for the back of the shirt. I'll go with the flo. Whatever is decided is fine with me.

Gary and Mary what a great job you all did. Thanks.

Time to get the children ready for school.
Talk to you all later. Fondly, Gail

Good morning everyone,

No more new snow here, but we sure do have a lot on the ground. It will probably be June before all this melts.

Mary - loved the snow cartoon. I am going to have to print it out and show everyone around here. We (or I should say me) are big Nascar fans also and I have been looking forward to this weekend since November. I would like to find out if they show Nascar on the cruise, so that FIL and I can watch it while we are on the cruise in April. May have to plan my excursions in Key West around the race. Then again that is Easter Sunday so maybe they won't have a race. I will have to look at the schedule.

Lynda - DCL does seem to have a strange policy regarding service dogs and the handicap accessible rooms. I don't know why they released this room so early, but I have to say for us it is a good thing. We did not want to cruise unless we were in a Cat 3 or better. But, I did tell inventory control that I would like to move out of this room to another Cat 3 if at all possible, so that it could be opened back up for someone who needs a handicap accessible room. I am supposed to call my contact at inventory control soon, so I will ask her about it again. And maybe I will see if there is someone I can talk to while on board in April.

Other post was getting to long, so I decided to split it into 2 posts.

Gail - hope you have a great cruise. I know I am counting down the days for our trip in March.

2belles'mom - wish we had some points to let you rent, but like Matt we tend to use all of ours. DD turns 16 in the summer of 2005 and we are planning on taking 4 of her friends and their moms to stay in a Grand Villa for a week, so we are saving up what we have left.

Karyn - Welcome Back! Hope everything goes smoothly with your move and we wil look forward to hearing from you once you are settled in your new home.

No race on Easter Sunday so you are free to go and enjoy Key West! The first part of the season is on Fox so I don't think you would get it on the ship. The only racing we have ever seen on board were the trucks back when they were on ESPN (since ESPN is part of Disney).

 

[WDWLVR]

We're holding on to our DVC points in hopes that another Member Cruise is announced. One rumor floating around is that the repositioning cruise through the Panama Canal may be a member cruise. That would be cool as that is one cruise I've always wanted to do but never did.

Mary,

That's a relief!!! We won't have to miss a race. I didn't think there was one, but had not looked at the schedule yet.
