2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 4

[WDWLVR]

Oh, I hope you get time to see Three Pints Gone! We used to see them a lot when we lived in Illinois!

Darn - looked on the website and they are playing the fest, but not until Sunday night at 8:15. We'll be home long before that.

I didn't realize I was that chatty! I've had a very busy day, and today was supposed to be my take it easy day. We got up and were at the gym by 9, then left at 10:30 and went straight to Saratoga to the racetrack. We didn't get home til a little after 4 because I was having a good day! Well, a good day for a SAHM who only makes $2 bets! I was there for 4 races and the first race, well, my horse--he's still running that race, he was dead last. But then my luck turned around and I picked the winner in race 2, 3 and 4!! I came out with $25 more than I started with so I'm a big winner in my book! The girls love the track, only this time, for some strange reason, Emma thought we were going to RIDE the ponies.

Tomorrow is 100% cleaning day. I'm not even going to the gym because my SIL will be here around lunchtime. And heaven forbid Bruce come home early to entertain his crazy family. So I'll probably be here on the DIS all day.

Wow, sounds like loads of fun Diana. I haven't been to the horse races in years. I don't know how you choose horses, but my system was purely based on the name of the horse and the colors the jockey wore.

 

[sanddune]

Glad to see everyones back!

Mary have a great time on your trip!
Diana way to go big Winner!
Cindy, I agree that's not fair having all that done!
Sorry Cquick I didn't mean to leave you out. Just picking on some friends!

#2 works for us. We have late dining but I haven't a clue what time that means we're done on Thurs. morning.

Hey, I just needed to put my 2 cents in!

 

[RRBB]

No major cleaning around here tomorrow. (Yuck, who wants to do that anyway if you don't have to.) We have visiting day at Ian's school in the morning. We get to meet his teachers and he gets to check out his classroom. At parent orientation the other night we got his class assignment. There are nine in his class, ALL boys. And most of them will be turning 2 in December.

Thanks Gail!

We have no preference on departure times for Sunday or Thursday

The quote I gave for Orlando Buses and Tours only included a 5% gratuity (the companies suggestion). I personally don't think that is enough. I was thinking at least 10% and if people feel they want to tip additionally for outstanding service then that is up to everyone individually. I want to collect money for the transfer plus gratuity so no one feels obligated to tip additional if they don't want to.

So, if we stay @ 37 people we are looking at $19.32 per person. Getting cheaper everyday! If we have more passengers the price keeps dropping! Anymore takers?

Hey, that's how I bet when we have gone to the races. How cute is the name of the horse and does the jockey look cute on his/her horse. Is there a different way we should be betting????

 

[fireplug]

These are the first pics I am posting taken with my NEW Sony H-2 camera. I went to get an H-5 but the sales girl showed me that all the features were the same on the two except 7mp and a 1/2 in larger LCD screen. However the H-2 was $100 cheaper and she said unless I am gonna print like 14 x 20 or larger I wouldnt notice the MP difference.

So here are the pics tell me what you think.

Oh and by the way I posted this with my NEW Vaio note book computer. We had a new Best Buy open in town and they had some very good deals.

You Party Busers are going to have so much fun. Sure wish we could join y'all but we're heading straight to the airport after disembarkation.

I was looking at Navigators on other sites and found the following information about breakfast on the last morning. At least this is how it was for a cruise back in May. Breakfast on disembarkation day is in the same restaurant you ate in the night before.
Animators Palate: 1st Seating - 6:30am, 2nd Seating - 7:45am
Parrot Cay: 1st Seating - 6:45am, 2nd Seating - 8:00am
Tritons: 1st Seating - 7:00am, 2nd Seating - 8:15am

We don't have the horses around here, but Greyhound racing is big here. I've gone with Chris a few times and I always bet based on names.

No, I think anyone that picks horses any differently is being way too serious and not having near enough fun.

Ok, I have a stupid question - I must have missed it somewhere along the way. Is the $19.32 per person each way - making it $36.64 per person total or is that $19.32 RT for each person?

I agree Roxann, 5% is too little - unless the driver is DAN!

 

[RRBB]

Great pics Steve. So what's the story with the Gemini Giant?

 

[#1Mouse]

Nice pictures Steve! Looks like you are having fun at the new Best Buy!

I forgot to tell you that my kids had a surprise birthday party for me and invited mine and John's family. They had it at Hooters. Yep, they made me stand on the chair flopping my wings while they sang Happy Birthday. Just for you, I had my picture taken with the waitresses. Those pictures are on John's camera so I'll have to find them and post it.
