We are home from Marathon weekend, a day late, but not a dollar short! How often does that happen? Flights were overbooked yesterday, so thanks to our lucky stars, we took the bump and got 3, yes 3, $400 vouchers! So we now have $1,200 for future flights in the next year! (more trips to Orlando!)

YIPPEE!!!!!!

The 1/2 was great. I am sore, but recovering. Congratulations to our friends, Alex, Carolyn and Shari who did the Goofy Challege and completed the 1/2 and the full marathon! We also got to see our good friends, Georgie and Joe who have been on the last two SS Member Cruises!

By the way, on our flight to Orlando last Thursday night, I was sitting one row in front of Tom McAlpin and his wife (in first class). They had been skiing in Park City for the week. He told me to look for the big announcement next week on 2008 itineraries, but then our friend, Ken found the info on the boards and shared it with us while we were in Orlando. Just wondering if the Magic is headed back to the west coast or if they will take the Wonder?

I would have loved to have been able to say to Tom, oh the announcement that DCL is going back to the westcoast in May 2008? It's already been on the disboards, the secret is out!

Giving us a little bump back to the first page. I have some udpates to do to the gallery and hope to get them done in the next day or two. Work has been a little crazy.

Good Afternoon friends and cruisers:

Just want all to know that Harry and I are home from the hospital.

Harry was in for 7 nights and 8 days and I was in for 21 days and in isolation the whole time. It was sure risky for a while for me.

We are both on the mend and just have to get our strength up now.

In the 21 days I went from 189.2 lbs. to 150.0 pounds and I sure don't want to lose anymore. Everyone that sees me now remarks that - WOW, how did you do that so quickly.

I don't recommend my way of losing weight to anyone. LOL - way too expensive.

THANKS FOR ALL THE THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS and good vibes. They surely reached us. I shall never forget all the good wishes.

Thank you so very much.

Just one more quick post to all: This is a good story.

OK, GUYS - here is a wonderful story:

About 1-1/2 years ago Harry and I went to K Mart to buy something in the garden dept. It was a non tax day and we paid by Chase CC. Spent under $50.

About a year later we got a notice that a Class Action lawsuit was being filed 'cause K Mart did not take the tax out and charged us. We didn't even know. So I filled out the papers and sent them in.

Back in October about a week before I went to Gainesville for one of the surgeries, I got a notice that the Class Action lawsuit was over and to fill out this particular paper and that if everyone sent in this paper, we would get approx. $130.

WELL, GREAT - $130 is free money. YEA

Then I forgot about it.

While I was in the hospital, my sister, Dianne, brought me some mail and this thick envelope came from K-Mart. I opened it and inside was:

a check for $4,000
and $800.00 in $50 gift cards.

I was SHOCKED to say the least.

Apparently a lot of people didn't send in their last paper.


SO THE MORAL OF THIS IS:

Always join a Class Action lawsuit. You never know what will happen.

I was very happy.

Welcome back Kay - sorry to hear about all you have been through.

Welcome danandnan!

I hope to get the gallery updated this weekend (most likely tomorrow). For anyone who hasn't seen it yet check out the links on the first post. Would love to get info from everyone so we can all get to know each other.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[krdisneybound]

Thank you so much

HAPPY SATURDAY, CRUISERS


I have more strength today - what a wonderful feeling ----------- Yea Yea

 

[JOANNEL]

Welcome back Kay, I hope you two recover quickly. Congrat's on the cash. It always comes in handy.

One question- is there a formal night on the 4 day? If not what is the dress for dinners? We always got dressed up on the magic. But four days seems so short.

Happy Saturday!!!!!!!

 

[krdisneybound]

GOOD MORNING CRUISERS -

It is sunny and hot in Ft. Lauderdale. I really would not mind some rain, tho.
Good for the grass and flowers

Hope everyone has good day and weekend

I was just looking at the most recent Navigators from the 1/7/07 cruise. The first night was cruise casual, the second night was "dress up night" (Whatever that means) the third night was Golden Mickeys and was pirate attire or tropical/casual and the last night was casual.

However, since this is a DVC chartered cruise, DVC will come out with the specifics (hopefully) on the nights and what the attire will be. Make sure you are signed up to receive the DVC newletters each month.

If not, Mark and Mary get them posted on the link or someone on the thread will post when they have received their email addition of the latest edition of the newsletter.

Hope that helps!

GOOD MORNING, CRUISERS

Hope most of you don't have to work today. It is a Federal Holiday.


Hey, Linda: how does Tigger keep jumping on his tail in your avatar. It must be awfully tiring for him

Hi Kay,
glad to hear you are on the mend.

Remember we look forward to seeing you on the cruise in OCtober.

WIth regard to the story about the cheque.I dont understand why you received more than you were due.Is the system different in the USA,or was it a mistake.

In the UK ,in such a claim the money would be held in a special fund and the balance would probably be kept in escow until all claims were in,or alternatively the payout would only be to the people who claimed for the amounts they originally claimed,and the balance would stay with the company the claim was agianst i.e. in this case K mart.That is my understanding anyway.
