[nikkistevej]

Not us. We are staying at POFQ. Our flight comes in at like 7:30 pm. We are still set on going to T-Rex.

You all are gonna have to let us know how TREX is- we are going the Saturday after the cruise!!

 

[nikkistevej]

We're using our points and staying at AKL Villas ... savannah view ... can't wait!

Is that your "home", it's ours- we bought DVC on our first cruise in Sept 07.

Anyone else? Roll Call for the Radisson!!?!?!?! Even if your not staying there and are planning on coming to the pizza by the pool DIS meet, we wanna know

Who is in charge of the stuff for this meet?? My sis said someone had posted earlier on that they were handling it?? Does anyone remember who that was (i really dont wanna go thru all those posts!)?

I don't know who's in charge of that- I don't remember either.

Good morning from soggy Orlando!
We've had 4 straight days and 10+ inches of rain. I feel so bad for the folks going out on the Wonder today - I know they were dreading this. Hopefully they can just sail out to clear skies...

No, we won't be at the Radisson... I have to work all day Friday so while you are sitting & sipping I'll be leaving instructions for whoever is covering me while I am out. I will also, however, completely relish the moment when I click "out of office" on my Outlook!!! Everybody already knows since I have a Disney Itinerary posted behind my desk and a countdown calendar above it, but that little act of writing the Outlook OOO that says "Sorry, I am out from X to Y dates and will not have access to email or calls" makes me so very happy

I have to say that yesterday was my personal pixie dust day -- we are going "away" for the weekend on a "Staycation" here in Orlando. I had bought last year at a Give Kids the World charity event a 2 night stay at one of these big fancy Orlando hotels (I bid thinking that there was no way I'd be the higgest bidder... oops). Anyhow it expires at the end of June so I figured we'd use it over Memorial Day weekend since that wasn't a "blacked out holiday." I had requested a room with 2 doubles since I thought DD might want to take a friend. They called me yesterday to see if I'd be ok with an upgrade to a King suite since it had a king bed in the BR and a pullout Queen sofa in the LR... Heck, yes, I was ok with that!!!

Awesome thing #2 happened at 5:01 pm when I called the phone number to see if I had to report to Jury Duty today and, yippee, my number was "beyond" the range of jury numbers needed so no jury duty today!!!

Sending pixie dust to everyone this morning

I can't wait until that day as well to send out that message. I can say I will be out of the office from June 11- June 29!! Your "staycation" sounds great!! I know you are glad about the jury duty thing- I hate that!!

We will be checking into the CIS 3 weeks from today and should be on the road right now! We will be looking at the cruise ships from our hotel!!! And we are planning on coming to the Radisson on Friday night.

Is that your "home", it's ours- we bought DVC on our first cruise in Sept 07.

No, our home is actually Saratoga Springs. We went to our first DVC presentation in 2003 and my accountant husband decided it wasn't a good deal for us ... however after going to WDW 2-3 times a year we bit the bullet and purchased in 2005 ... we have loved every minute of it. Last February we went on a 4 night with my parents, his parents and 3 of our 4 children (as one was in college) and we stayed at a Grand Villa at the B'walk the night before ... it was a real treat!

We were anxious to try AKL as we have never stayed, only visited. In fact, I think we may be arriving on Thursday if I am able to add an extra night ... at the moment they are booked.

We take the Auto Train down, so I am still flexible with the dates until they print the tickets.

We're leaving 3 weeks from today too, but we won't be there until Friday afternoon. Hopefully by this time in 3 weeks- we'll be past the dreaded DC beltways.

We are staying at SSR for this trip- we added on points so we got the Developers points. So have fun at our "home" and we'll have fun at your "home".

Ok, WOW you all have been talking up a storm!
Daniel is still wearing heart monitor till Friday and then we take him in for the treadmill test.
I noticed this morning that 2 of the monitors were slipped down on him about 2 inches, I replaced them and hope this doesn't mean he will have to try this all over again.
Daniel is in his 1st play tonight!! So we shall see also how that goes with him wearing the heart monitor.
WOW- only about 3 more weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see alot of you all are staying at the Radisson the night before and some are staying near WDW. OUr friends are staying at WDW the night before.
We are staying at the Shearton near the port. I think maybe one or two of you all are staying there but can't recall who and there are too many pages to go back to search? LOL

Hope everyone is doing well or better this week!
And hopefully all that rain in Fl will be gone we we get down there. Well at least some of it.

This cruise can't be that sold out....CAT 12's are back!

This cruise can't be that sold out....CAT 12's are back!

Maybe we have a chance at being shuffled around again. How can I find out if my Cat 11's sleep 3 or 4? Anyone know

This cruise can't be that sold out....CAT 12's are back!

Just looked - not there anymore...

 

[Morgey24]

I don't understand HOW/WHY they would put Cat 12's out... there are only a handful of cabins left if you look category by category by published inventory. Maybe there really is a LOT of inventory in the lower Cat's but they've just put everything in GTY status.... So odd.

 

[runwad]

I just looked 1a2c no cat 12's then I did 1A1C and the cat 12 popped up for $3355.80

 

[nikkistevej]

I did 2a1c- I saw Cat 12's as well. That is crazy how they do that. It was around $2300.00.

I am so excited to see everyone's pics on the roll call. Thanks again Stephanie for doing our web page!!!!
