Has anyone heard from UKIan (Ian, Amanda, Connor and Elise)? Our Roster says they live in Northampton. Is that close to London???

It is quite a long way away so it would only affect them if they were in the centre of London today.So hopefully they should be OK.

Thanks for the quick update! My first thoughts after hearing the news was were my Disney friends ok. Prayers are being said for all in the "UK".

 

[krdisneybound]

I originally posted this on the wrong thread. Had too many windows opened.

Here goes:

I also did post pics, but don't know what happened to them. Celeste will be posting when she returns home.


good morning everyone:
First of all, hope that all our friends in London are OK - our prayers go out to each of you for safety.

We did meet with Celeste and Rob (and with their two sons) last night along with Renae and Eric. As Renae said, what a good time we had. Did not get home until midnight. For those of you who have eaten at Whispering Canyons, Rob wanted to order KETCHUP, lbut Celeste wouldn't let him

We all ended up wearing different hats made from straws and napkins by the waitress who was one of the best we have ever had at Whispering Canyons. We actually closed the restaurant. Pictures were taken and Celeste will probably post them when she gets home, since I will not be able to from the ship.

 

[bonzie1]

I am SO GLAD out UK friends are safe! How TERRIBLE. Prayers will continue.

Thanks for checking in.

Disney, Sprint Launch Cell Phone Service

Walt Disney Co., the world's second-largest media conglomerate, said Wednesday it will launch a national U.S. wireless phone service next year designed for families.

The service, called Disney Mobile, will use the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network. Overland Park, Kansas-based Sprint Corp. is one of the nation's top cell phone carriers and the largest non-Bell local phone company in the U.S.

Disney Mobile plans to offer wireless voice service, exclusive handsets and a package of features and applications targeted toward families. The company said the service also will include a range of entertainment content.

Walt Disney Internet Group entered the mobile arena in 2000 with the launch of Disney branded content, including graphics, ring tones, games and utilities, on NTT DoCoMo in Japan. In 2004, Disney's ESPN unit announced it would launch the first U.S. wireless phone service specifically targeted to sports fans.

The newly formed Disney Mobile business is part of Walt Disney Internet Group and will be led by Senior Vice President and General Manager George Grobar, who reports to Steve Wadsworth.

Disney will be responsible for all aspects of the service, including product development, distribution, marketing, customer relations, billing and other business operations.

Steve Wadsworth, president of Walt Disney Internet Group, said, "We'll be in investment mode for the next several years, but expect that over the long run this initiative will generate solid financial returns for the company."

Hey... I could use a good accountant. I'm sure the IRS could too....

At the moment I think I am spending more time buying scrapbooking STUFF than I am actually using it!! I am actually up to Curacao. I'm trying to go in order, sort of.... I really need to stop and organize everything first. That will be my project this weekend... since Dennis will probably supply us with a lot of rain. PS....I loved "Brickey Mouse"!!!!

Leslie...I sent you a funny email...I know what you mean about buying supplies...you should see my scrapbook room!!!!!

Have done your pages for the Slumber Party yet? I'd love to see what you did.

You could send a little of Dennis' rain our way...we haven't had much rain lately and despite my watering efforts...my poor grass is turning brown!!!!
