I made it through surgery fine. In some pain & very tired. I still have no appetite.

Take care of yourself. Get plenty of rest. And hope you feel better soon.

We are going to be there Dec 11- 21 maybe we can get together and share some days?

Absolutly! We would love to meet fellow Disers. I will work on my schedule over the next few weeks and let you know when we are planning on pool days. I believe the 13th is going to be a full day for us at the hotel. I am sure we can work things out. More worried about signing and taking a picture. I think it is so nice to be apart of something that covers all over! I hope we get the list started soon! Everybody better get their reservation in before the noodles are all booked up! LOL

Happy to hear the surgery went well, try to eat something you need your strength and try to get some rest.

All this talk of food has me wondering, how is the breakfast at the Captain's Grille? Or any other meal, for that matter? I've eaten at Cape May several times. Yachtsman is our anniversary ADR (gonna order us a Disney-fied replica of our wedding cake top tier for this meal, I think). I don't think I know anyone who's eaten at the Captain's Grille...

Happy to hear you came through surgery fine. Rest take your meds and try and eat a little at a time. Good thoughts coming your way for a quick and speedy recovery!

Think Disney!!!

Yee Ha!
May you dream of Disney and Pool noodles (Especially the pool noodles if that pain stuff is any good! )

Just remember that each day is one day closer to putting this behind you.

Keep strong and rest up. Those pool noodles will be good therapy for you when you're ready!

My family and myself would love to have access to the noodles during our trip on 8/11-8/19. If not for the whole trip a few days during the trip would be great. They would be taken care of and pictures would be taken with them. I love all the idea's that are posted here. Great job everyone.

We are checking in on August 18th and would love to pick the noodles up from you when you check out. We can keep keep them company and entertained until August 23rd if it works.

Teena--Hope you are getting a lot of rest
doccoc--Thoughts and prayers with you
Robyn--I have been thinking of you and wish you all peace and good moments to remember

This week was tough ... didn't realize a person could feel so lazy. However, I'm now officially half way done which is a good thing to focus on.

Jeanne sent us a 3D sonogram DVD of Peanut. It was unbelievable. You can see Peanut blink and count the fingers. Jeanne put on some rap music and Peanut actually covered her/his ears with its hands and then she switched to Michael Buble and Peanut took his/her hands away from the ears and actually smiled. The stuff they have now is amazing. After watching it, I'm thinking girl because it liked Michael Buble.

Here's what I was told when I tried to find out about the ongoing construction.

Please take it with a grain of salt because so many factors (such as weather) can delay or speed up previous plans.

I was told that they would be done with the area near the gv cl rooms by the end of May. They planned on being done with the BC side around the end of July. Next they would start on YC.

I was telling DH about the renovations and showed him some of the pictures. I told him - if you don't think you can handle it tell me now and I'll try to change our reservations.

He told me that he would rather be at BC with a cherry picker in front of our room than at any other resort! True BC loyalty!

When the BC is done, I was told it's heading over to the YC.

Well, I'm just hoping that my spending the big bucks for a garden view does not include the view of a cherry picker. No online check-in for me. I'll be making sure (hopefully) I am cherry picker free...

The doctor has given Jeanne a scheduled C-Section date but said there's a slight chance the date could change. Right now it's scheduled for 7/11 so Bob and I are flying out on 7/10.

My Brookie was born on 7/8, and she was finally our girl after 2 boys... so maybe I'll send my "luck" over to Jeanne.

How I wished I could have had that technology. Well, it was there for my third, but the cost was not covered by insurance. Oh well...

Glad to hear from you, and you go REST!!! But don't get too far behind...

To those of you that have gone down the slide at SAB, it's not that scary is it? I am a self-proclaimed scaredy cat. I am thinking about conquering it. DH doesn't believe me, so I must prove him wrong.

August is taking sooo long I am ready to be at Disney!!

 

[Marlton Mom]

To start with here is a picture of those WONDERFUL YC/BC Disboard pins.
I was SO EXCITED when I got the mail today and there was an envelope from Nannette!!

Thank you so much to Nannette for sending me one! Thank you as well to RustManFan of the Creative Designs Forum and DIS'er Janloz for their efforts!

After receiving the pin I applied my screen name using the free font "Minnie" that I downloaded from the web. This pin will go in a place of honor on my camera bag!!


Dis Boards BC YC Thread pins by Marlton Mom, on Flickr

In other news I am now on my 3rd company to print my "lime green Dis-Boards symbol that does not in any way resemble a trademarked object belonging to a monolithic entertainment corporation that favors rodents".

The first two chickened out ('Zizzle' and 'CustomFink') and they are on Marlton Mom's black list for all of eternity, which apparently starts May 21st!

I finally called Sonic Shack http://www.sonicshack.com/ and after a brief phone conversation letting them know that I had in fact designed MY art MYSELF I was able to convert the heck out of my files and submit it for printing.

Sonic Shack was great because 1.) they understood what was legitimate as far as designs were concerned and 2.) they have a check box on their site that says that you agree that you have the rights to your design.

It was so refreshing to deal with a company that had a clue about these things!! BTW I couldn't use VistaPrint because they didn't have the size I wanted. I'm planning on using it as a cover up at the pool if I'm ever on dry land. Teena (and others) will be much relieved to hear that Marlton Mom will not be parading her naughty bits around the hotel lobby.

Ok so Now we get to the pool noodles. Before I set up a swap thingie I want to just try to understand the general rules for the fridge swap thing. I see your posts Noodle People and I'll compile a list and we will work it out.

I was looking for some sort of a bag to hold the noodles but I think we should just go with a bungie cord and a sharpie to keep things together.

QUESTION FOR TEENA: Will bell services let us store the noodles with them if there is a gap in the hand offs??

Ok now the moment you have all been waiting for! I have a PICTURE comparing the two sizes of pool noodles! Calm down and remain seated!

Here it is:


pool noodle comparison picture by Marlton Mom, on Flickr

Look how shameful the smaller one is!! The large one is only 3 1/4 inches wide so you can just imagine how tiny the other one is!

Would YOU want to be seen with one this wimpy??

~I think NOT!!!~

Notice they didn't even bother to shrink the hole so you get half the noodle and all of the hole! What is America coming to when we accept sub par floatation devices?? What's next, toilet paper that's half the size of your holder?? Oh wait, never mind on that last one... too late!

I also have a confession to make.

I went out and bought 4 more voluptuous pool noodles for home. Before you judge just know that all summer, I would have been in the pool, and after the children stole my floating lounge chair, I would have had nothing to hang on to.

I also took another trip to the post office to mail my crochety, ancient, 'Mr. Coffee' Iced tea maker to the hotel. This thing is on it's last legs and I'm sorry to say it's not swap worthy. It has a date with the dumpster as soon as we check out. I picked up another one at Walmart for $20 so Marlton Mom will be living large when she gets back.

Now all I have to do is pack half a metric ton of camera equipment and more clothes than I'll probably use and I'll be all set!

Well that's it from me. If I don't quit now Heather, Charley and Joseph will never get to bed!

Sweet dreams and fast recoveries!
~MM

 

[lov2b@disney]

Teena- glad to hear you are 1/2 way there! Be strong its almost over


I recieved the same envelope in the mail as Marlton Mom cant wait to sport my Y&BC club DIser pin...though mine is not personalized yet...the shame!!! thank you so much Nannette for send them out!!

 

[TeenaS]

QUESTION FOR TEENA: Will bell services let us store the noodles with them if there is a gap in the hand offs??

~MM

I know guests at the resort leave luggage and stuff with Bell Services and go on a week cruise and tell them they will be back in 7 days and they are okay with that. I think therefore if you tell them you are leaving for 5 days and will be back and give them your name (actually you will be giving them the name of the next guest) and ask them to store them for you, it should not be a problem. I do think if you try to explain the whole hand off thing, it would be confusing and they might not want to do it.

So, let's pretend Joan Smith has them today and Mary Jones is picking them up in six days. Joan gives them to Bell Services and says her name is Mary Jones and she is leaving for six days and would they please hold them for her until she comes back in six days. Six days later, Mary Jones will go to Bell Services and say, "I left noodles here six days ago and need to pick them up but lost my luggage tag." Bell Services will be able to find them with no problem since they will be under Mary Jones' name.

[QUOTEMy Brookie was born on 7/8, and she was finally our girl after 2 boys... so maybe I'll send my "luck" over to Jeanne.



My DD13 is a 7/10 baby!!! we have so many July babies in our family. My youngest sister is expecting this July also-----her due date is 7/23.

 

[ocalla]

quick question for the transporation experts:

thinking about heading to DTD after leaving MK one day, and thought about taking the Saratoga Springs bus, then the ferry over to DTD. But I wondered if STS has more than one bus stop? and if they do, would you know which stop we should get off on to be near the ferry?

It may be so close that we could walk over from STS, but we've never been there so I'm not sure how it's laid out.

I made it through surgery fine. In some pain & very tired. I still have no appetite.

I'll swap you appetites. Rest. Enjoy the bliss of sweet Disney dreaming. I'll be sending positive vibes for a quick, shockingly painless recovery.



Teena, great big yay for your halfway!

Wow. That is amazing about peanut. So incredible.

I have to agree it is a girl.

Teena - great news about Peanut! But I voted "boy" earlier and I'm sticking with it! Love how you keep your spirits up during this exhausting and difficult time - reminds me so much of Mom!

Doccoc - thanks for the update. Hope you can get some rest - we're all thinking of you.
