Wendy, when I turned the page the first thing that popped out at me was your post.

I only saw............. Randall had his first pee I started to laugh

Then I read the rest of the sentence

About your Disney stuff. You booked directly with Disney?

Are you staying at Disney before the cruise?? Going straight from the airport to the ship?

If you are going straight to the ship from the airport have you tried checking out your reservation online here:

www.disneycruise.disney.go.com

Click on My Disney Cruise at the top right, the info might be there.

If you are staying at a resort before the cruise try looking here.

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/index?rg=24331

near the top right there is a spot that says ......... My Disney Vacation. Click on there and see if you can access your reservation. That might tell you something?

Other than that maybe you could call Disney and ask about your flight times?

Thanks Robin. I'm gonna try my hardest to do this today before Coras party. With my dial-up connection it gets pretty frustrating! I booked EVERTHING through disney. It was my first time planning a disney vacation and while I may have payed a bit too much, I tought it would be worth it to not worrry about flights, rental car, traffic, etc. But there were a few things I forgot to worry about. Like how we're gonna keep our house warm while we are gone...we primarily heat with wood. And I didn't really think about our cat. Our dog goes to "visit" people and stays overnight occassionally, so it won't be a big deal for my F-I-L to keep him for us. But the cat....I was afraid if I took her to stay at someone's house she would try to get outside and find home. And if someone came to check on her, she'd try to get out and they wouldn't be able to get her back in. She just comes and goes as she pleases. So I guess we've decided to leave her here with self-watering dispenser and food dispenser along with like 3 litter boxes. And I guess we're gonna block off the bedrooms so not to waste the heat. We have a small propane heater in the living room, and we're hoping that will keep the kitchen and bathroom warm. Maybe my F-I-L will even come out the morning we return and open up the bedrooms and start a fire. I would be horrible to come home from the cruise to a freezing house!! (especially if pipes were to burst!! )

Okay- I think I'm pretty well caught up! I just read the last 10 pages!
Susan- wow!! Your house sold really really really quick!! Must mean it was one heck of a place! Must have been someones dream come true. I think it's odd that someone would be in the mood to move into the new house right after christmas, but at the same time, I think it's cool...new year, new house!! Good luck with everything. I hope it all goes smooooooooooth!!
Suzi- Kayla has been on occassionally. (Kay06) She is my step-daughter. She's a freshman in college this year and is 18! She and a good friend of hers are hoping and hoping they will be allowed to rent the apartment my husband and I are building on the lot next to ours through the summer months. I don't see too much of a problem. It'll maybe ease them into the "real world", for after college. They're good kids.
Robin-Enjoy your holidays! We, too, will be celebrating Christmas numerous times over the next couple of weeks plus a baby shower I am suppose to be planning! (yikes, I just remembered like 4 things I need to do!!!) Our christmas with our kids will be Christmas night. Kayla will be at her moms and Randall at his dads this year for the morning of christmas.
Mandy- I still have shopping to do. Mostly just gift cards for my husbands neices and nephews and then I usually buy movie passes for Randall half-brother and half-sister at his dads. It shouldn't take long to get those last few things, it's just finding the time to go to get them....gotta drive and hour to get to the city!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Betsy-How are you feeling? sending etra P & PD to keep you well through the holidays. Someone told me today that whooping cough is going around here...I don't even know what that is, but I know I don't want it!!
Kelly-Tell Carolin Congrats on 2nd. I don't know how those girls do the things they do!! How did Chads game go that you didn't get to? Hope it was a win! Here's a little kick in the keister (sp?) for ya to tie up all those last minute christmas and vacation loose ends!!

everyone else Hope all is well!!

Hi Jennifer and Wendy, it's great to hear from you, are you both ready for Christmas yet ?

Betsy - I'm so pleased that you're feeling better

There is so much that I am looking forward to seeing and doing - though I can't wait to see the Flying Dutchman and Capt. Jack Sparrow at Castaway Cay

I have had a really busy day visiting family and exchanging Christmas presents

Enjoy the rest of your weekend

Hello Everyone
Mandy,
Thanks ..I DO feel much better...

There are two things I am looking forward to the most....

1) Meeting all my DIS friends...

AND

2) RELAXING..with no commitments..and just UNstressing....

By the way, Did you know that.... if you spelled stressed, backwards...it would become desserts...THIS HAS TO MEAN SOMETHING ...Im not sure what...But I figure if I eat enough desserts..I'll become less stressed ... On the other hand I could become MORE stressed..about how much weight I'd be gaining

Have I told you guys I REALLY need this vacation?

 

[Cruisin]

Introducing my parent's new puppy........ Briggs.

He is almost 4 months old and a real little cutie. He's very playful and happy and seems to be settling right in really quickly.

 

[Dalpal]

I just love his club feet. and his ears... ..How big do pugs get???....

 

[Cruisin]

Pugs are not really big dogs.

The ideal weight should be 14 to 18 pounds. I couldn't find anything about height but they're not really tall.

 

[Dalpal]

Thats all Einstein is..about 14lbs....Nice and compact

 

[Cruisin]

Yup pugs are small and compact dogs. They have short legs but stout and muscular bodies.

​

Only 3 Weeks 'Til the Cruise !!!​

I hope we all start receiving our documents this week

Betsy ~ I'm with you on the stressed/desserts meaning, and I'm definitely up for eating lots of desserts to help with my stress

Robin ~ Briggs is so cute, what lovely photos, I think your parents are going to have a lot of fun with him

Have a great Sunday everyone

Hi Jennifer!!
I'm really looking forward to going to Disney World. Randall, Cora, and I have never been!! I can't wait to see Cora's face the first time she sets her eyes on a "real" princess!! Also, I'm looking forward to spending some time in the rain forest room on our sea day! and the Pirate party, I really think Randall will enjoy that. I'm even packing pirate costumes for the two little ones. The rest of us will wear pirate themed things, but not full costumes. I'm NOT looking forward to disembarkation. That's always a sad time!!

I have an elderly aunt who has a pug. This is her third in the last 25 yrs. She really does love those little buggers!! He loves attention and she lives alone so he gets it. They seem to be very trainable, although I think MOST elderly people are not consistent with them as pups. They end up being like spoiled rotten children that never grow up!! My aunt would probably just sit at home and never go out or see anybody if she didn't have anyone (or anypup) to depend on her. He seems to keep her young. She's 76, so every little bit helps!

Cora's friends party went way too smoooth yesturday. I arrived at the pizza place about 15 minutes before the party. Brought a pin the horn on the unicorn game, game prizes and goody boxes for the kids to take home. The girls working the party had the pizzas in the oven when we got there. They had the tables set up with placemats, silverware and paper cups. They brought out several pitcher of soft drinks and I started getting the kids thier drinks, by the time I got that all done and they all decided where they would sit, the pizzas were done and it was time to get that all sorted out. It was commented numerous times how well behaved and neat the kids were. After pizza, we played the unicorn game, everyone got a prize! Then it was time to make sundaes. The kids really liked that part!! There were sprinkles, cherries, hot fudge, butterscotch, & whipped topping. There were cupcakes too! Then after Cora was done eating, she opened presents. Cora is soooooo good at opening presents. She 's kinda slow, but it's because she loves every part of a surprise and every single thing she opened, she was genuinely happy about. She hugged every single guest and thanked them. And as they were leaving the party, she hugged them again and thanked them for coming. By them time she opened the gifts, the party was over. I didn't even have to clean up anything, the girls did it. I'd share pictures, but I forgot my camera!! I have been taking pictures of her playing with each of the gifts, though. She has already colored the posters she got, stuffed the "build-a-bear" bear she got, wrote in her "locking" diary, and had a tea party with her new tea party set and she's working in her new princess activity book with magic pen right now! She's already written out her thank you notes and never even complained! Eric has always said that Cora is a very special little girl, she seems much older than she is at times, he says she has an old soul. She just knows what to say and do to make people feel better, like she's been through it before or something. We are very lucky to have her.
