[IleneF]

Amy, I also wanted to comment on Chris' accident. Glad he is OK especially since the recent surgery. He might want to get that checked just to be sure.
Thank goodness it was only a fenderbender.

I am attempting to book a shore excursion and when I get the list of times, the only guest I can select is my son. Does anyone know what I need to do to allow me to choose other guests in my party?

It also looks like the site just went down. I keep getting the following when I try to log in:
We're having a problem with our reservation system that will prevent you from booking your vacation package or retrieving your reservation right now. We're sorry for any inconvenience. Please call your travel agent or call (800) 951-3532 weekdays 8 a.m. - 10 p.m. ET or weekends 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. ET and our agents will gladly assist you.

One other thing, there were no available sittings for Palo Dinning.

When you first log on to your cruise reservation there should be a list of names with check boxes next to them. Make sure those are all checked. Not sure if that was your problem or not.

As for Palo I just checked and it seems like all the online reservations are gone. I have heard that they hold back 50% of all reservations for those who don't book online (to make it fair for those who don't have computers etc.). So plan on getting to the port early and going right to where they are booking Palo and you should be fine.

Well I was up at 2:50 to get ready to book.
I tried for Palo's first thing and there were no reservations available. Guess we will try on board.
I got Stingrays at 11 am - but did not know it because the next screen said "unable to locate page" So I went back in and that time was gone and I took 1 pm - same thing happened "unable to locate"
I kept having to go back to My Disney Cruise - My Cruise plans...

When I looked at what showed as booked I had 3 stingray excursions.... needless to say I cancelled the others. It was a lot of headaches for a 15 minute period of time.

This morning really stinks now!!!!!

Have a good day everyone.

I was heading from the Y to dancing school with the girls. I'm driving down this road that has a light with a one lane underpass, and then about 500 feet or so after that has a very very very tight two lane road that goes under a train track. It's really hard to describe but it's like they blasted through rock to build this road and keep the train track intact. Well, I'm driving my Trailblazer (so BIG car) about 35mph through this road and this red Ford Tempo (little old car) comes from the other direction. Now, two cars can fit through, I've done it a million times...but both drivers need to be able to judge how big their cars are. So I'm driving, like 35, minding my own business, and this guy crosses over his line because he couldn't judge and didn't want to hit the rock wall sides, I guess he thought I was going to get out of his way. So I took the lesser of two evils and smacked the side of my car into the rock wall. The noise was horrendous, but luckily, I only ripped the mirror off and cracked my passenger window. It happened so fast I didn't even have time to react I just thought if I hit that guy, head on at 35 in my big SUV I would have killed him in a Tempo. Luckily, we were all ok and pretty much all unphased, except Emma who yelled, "what was that noise" and then immediately saw the mirror hanging off the car and said "you smashed the car Mommy, Daddy is going to spank you!". Nice kid, huh. Mind you--we've never spanked either child, never even mentioned spanking, I've never heard her say spank before.....but I guess she relates it to big trouble! Bruce was cool about it---as it was better than him backing into our own car!

Yikes, Diana, I'm glad you and the girls are okay.

Bruce is a smart man, after he backed his car into yours, he's wise to not make a big deal out of the situation.



Between you & Chris, I'm glad I stayed home yesterday. Safe driving everyone!

[Diana Lyn]

Wow, it sounds like you guys had a hard time with the booking system this morning too. That's really too bad!

To answer everyone's question, no, the other dude did not stop. But we're all ok, and that's what matters. Bruce was able to piece the mirror back together and snap it into place last night, so I still have a mirror on the car! The electric thingy inside it doesn't work, and I doubt the heater thingy works but that's ok, it's 90 degrees, I don't need heated mirrors right now!

Driving to the gym this morning, Emma kept yelling "Look out" from the back seat. I think she's going to need therapy after yesterdays incident!

Dance Camp Day 2 today at noon. Yesterday was adorable and she loved it, so we're going to try to stick with dance for now and maybe make gymnastics a summer event until she's old enough to really decide for herself. I have some pictures, most are blurry--you try to photograph 10 running 3 year olds! I'll take more today and post some later on!
