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

[WDWLVR]

Thanks for the heads up Roxann. I checked and ours does say the 27th.

Of course I scared myself because at the top it says the 26th but that is my check-in date for BWV. The date by the actual cruise says the 27th!

 

[alikat99]

I checked mine as well. It says the 27th also.

 

[BCVOwner2002]

It was brought to my attention that one of the families joining us for our Wishes Cruise was set-up for the 26th by mistake. Everything has been straightened out.

Please, check your Wishes Cruise confirmations and make sure you are set for October 27, 2006 for the Magical Fireworks Voyage @ 8:15 pm. Please, arrive by 8:00 pm at the Contemporary Resort Marina.

Yup! This happened to me. Thanks for posting here Roxann. You beat me to it. The original person who took my credit card information neglected to list the Gathering reservation number so Tom and I were scheduled to go on our own cruise on 10/26. Luckily, CM Mike called me on Thursday wanting to know why I was scheduled for MNSSHP and a Wishes Cruise on the same night! Thank goodness he noticed this and was able to rectify the reservation. There is no way I could be two places at one time! Besides, it wouldn't be nearly as fun to go on a Wishes Cruise with just Tom and I. The more the merrier!

If that's irrational I hope there are always ppl around who will think irrationally!! THANKS for doing what you do!!

Dh and I were discussing our fire dept the other day.....it's a volunteer one. We always see the guys fly down our side street on their way to the house to get the truck/their gear/etc....

And we decided wouldn't it be horrible for them to fly by our house while it's BURNING and not be able to stop cuz they don't have their stuff.

[tinkerbelle77]

Favorite pig out food:​

Mexican, anything mexican!!

Nickname:​

T, beans, or Smiley

Favorite Childhood memory:​

Isn't really childhood, but its when I went to WDW for the first time....I was in HS and went with the band. I had most of my closest friends with me, and it was the amazing. I fell in love at first sight of Cindy's castle and main street, and it just gets stronger every time I go!

Personal heroes:​

My hero would have to be my mother...she has survived alot, and came out stronger each time.

I've never been able to:​

Make most of my friends and family understand my love for WDW. They all think I am crazy and throwing my money away.

If I could do it over,I'd:​

Nothing...you live and learn from your mistakes, so I wouldnt trade anything that I've done.

I'd give anything to meet (& why):​

Well, I did meet her, but it was when I was little! My grandmother...she died when I was 5 and from what I remember and have been told she was an amazing women. I would love to just have one day with her to know more about her.

If I could change one thing about myself:​

My weight...I have struggled all my life, and everytime I say I'm going to do it, I start and never finish.

People who knew me in High School thought I was:​

A very happy person, always smiling, friendly with everyone. To this day my friends make fun of me because I was one of the few that could hang out with jocks, cheerleaders, geeks, just about anyone is who I hung with. My motto was the more friends I have the better off I am!

My most irrational act:​

Probably would have been getting married at the age of 18, less than a year after I graduated HS.

If I've learned one thing in life it's:​

Take life as it comes, don't let the little things upset you.

Major accomplishment:​

]My girls..Krystina and Haylee

BTW - has anyone noticed we are getting closer to another milestone?


Plus we are only 360 posts away from overtaking the 2005 Member Cruise thread!

Wow! It's hard to believe that we're close to overtaking that one! That thread seemed to go on forever!

So, here goes:

Favorite pig out food:cookies and milk (snack) or pizza (main course)

Nickname: Don't really have one.

Favorite Childhood memory:Playing Kick the Can with the local neighborhood kids at dusk in the summer.

Personal heroes:My husband, because he has worked so hard to see his own invention become a reality, and my mother, who was the longest breast cancer survivor I'd ever known up until her death from a heart attack.

I've never been able to:dance, draw or do higher math.
God does give us blessings though, because I have three daughters that can do each one!

If I could do it over,I'd:finish college

I'd give anything to meet (& why):my grandparents. My grandfathers both died before I was born, and both my grandmothers died by the time I was 4 years old so I don't have much memory of them. For that reason, I've always had a tough time understanding how close some people are to their grandparents.

If I could change one thing about myself:It would be my inability to stay focused.

People who knew me in High School thought I was:crazy

My most irrational act:Climbing out onto a rocky ledge that went under a small waterfall at a local state park with out any kind of safety harness.

If I've learned one thing in life it's:people can be stupid sometimes, and when that happens, it's better to just shake your head and go on than to try to understand them.

Major accomplishment:raising three daughters to adulthood without any major difficulties

The three words that best describe me:loyal, fun-loving, believer
