Anything we SHOULDN'T miss about the flower fest? Even my non-gardener hubby is looking forward to it.

Thanks for the report...have fun!

[first timers]

Didn't mean that they would be on the Wonder...if that happened a riot would ensue for sure.... but that half would go to the Ship of Fools Repo cruise coming back in Aug....making only 500 available for us. I don't think that many people (non pin junkies) will spring for the $65 when a little logo pin will also be available probably for around 10.95 or 12.95. It will be us Pin addicts that will go for the big one AND all the little ones.

The hubcap pins might be sold out of treasure ketch where much of the "pricier" items are sold. I would imagine items would have a limit, at least initally. DCL has learned from previous cruises.

Leslie,

Didn't even think about that. I would think they would get their own hubcap.

The rose garden is paticulary beautiful this year, it can be found on the path between the mcdonald's stand next to canada and future world...

The snow has melted and it is a great day here. Will be walking our Malamute herd when Lynn gets up.

We are excited about all the things others have mentioned. 5 days of work, then we have the weekend and a day to put it all together.

Bob, hope your charity walk went well.

I was able to get us Fantazmic Seating for 5/30, the night before we head home. This will be a nice way to cap off the trip. I got the feeling that when we get home I will be on the road the next day. Oh well gotta pay for this trip.

Do we need to start a Forget Work Support Group.

Work Work Work, a big pile of it and the boss is a …. You know the song

We will be box packing tomorrow, so Lynn can ship it off on Monday.

I hope one and all get their docs soon, I would be a wreck.

Rocky Mt Oysters aren’t that bad.

Lucky Linda getting to go to DL.

Keep an eye on the DIS navigator for a Southern Cross viewing.

 

[krdisneybound]

Just our "hubcap* pin was on display - not the one for the August cruise.

LISTEN - Disney doesn't care what is "fair". If they sell out the first 500 or 1,000people and 1/2 of those people buy 2 each, then only that many people get the pin. END, PERIOD, FINISHED AND OVER at that point. See it TOOO TOOO MANY times with the pins and all the events.

They are not going to pass them out ahead of time either. If there were any left on our cruise, then that is the only way the August cruise would get one of ours.

Of course, I bet 'ya that one for the August cruise will be on "silent auction" for us and ours will be on "silent auction" on their cruise. In that event, it will probably get up to around $500 to $600 -

I got the Inagural Western prototype large pin on the 2002 pin cruise on the "silent auction" and it was $550 by the time the auction ended. Hubby just about divorced me over it and it hangs on my TV room for him to see each day..... !!!!!

I doubt if the "hubcap" pin will be on Castaway Cay. Too large a pin and not the type to sell out there. The smaller logo pins might be there, but not the large one.

Other pins were on display that will be released in the next two months and including the jumbo ones - and I just can't describe them. They are beautiful.

None of the other DCL AC was available for viewing, but the 50th countdown was listed and shown.

 

[auntrenae]

Funeral potatoes are the same as 'sacred casseroles'... It's kind of a joking way to talk about a dish that is given as a service. Really, they are any potato or casserole dish that can easliy be taken to a potluck, to someone's home who is sick, or to a lunch served at church after a funeral. Any other input, Linda or Celeste? I couldn't think of any other way to say it...

Renae

 

[auntrenae]

K,

I don't start my on the job training at PO until Tuesday. I'll be at RS Tues and Thurs, FQ the rest of the week. I'll be there from early morning till about 2pm every day. Don't know the next week yet. I'll be the one looking brain dead because I don't know anything yet!

Renae

 

[krdisneybound]

Ranae: went to PO and tried to find you this morning. They told me you were not on the schedule today.

 

[krdisneybound]

Don't know exactly what Rocky Mt Oysters are ---

but regular oysters are good...

Was in a contest once and I ate 5 dozen at one time and won the contest. And no, the prize was not another dozen.

Believe it or not, I continued eating oysters after that.

 

[auntrenae]

Linda,

The smell of all that great Utah home cookin' might make the chef's quit! I know I'm taking my life in my hands when I say this, but nobody cooks better than a Utah grandma with homemade bread, baked dinners, and those pineapple upside down cakes.... I"M HOMESICK! (sorry, it's too hot to cook here today...)

Renae

 

[auntrenae]

Uh Oh Linda,

You didn't? I already spent a wad on their website! They have some gorgeous stuff right now. Did you see those dressy t-shirts with the lace on the neck? Oohhhhh, yeah.... got one in pale blue!

Renae

 

[EpcotKilterFan]

Well shipped off 2 boxes today. Should be there by Thursday!

Started actually putting things in bags. It is getting closer!

Headed off to dinner for my birthday, so don't post alot tonight!

Debbie

 

[Scott H]

Happy Birthday Debbie, have a wonderful evening.

 

[auntrenae]

Robin,

AMEN!

I can't wait to think about anything besides learning a whole new job! Even though I think the job will be a lot of fun, learning it isn't my favorite thing right now...

I can't wait to slip into that warm water at Castaway Cay again,
eat hot chocolate souffle again,
go to all these new ports,
sleep in a bed that rocks,
watch the stars from a dark ship,
meet my new servers, who will be amazing,
meet my new DIS family!

Renae
