Thanks Julie, you are so sweet!

My payment went thru, so each wristband will be...... drum roll please
36 cents! Ta Da!

The mailing thing isn't a hassle. Just hoping that I get them sooner>

Whatever is easiest for you, seriously!

Yes firstly its easy to walk to everythnig at DL, (if both legs working) and the resturants in Downtown disney are good and easy to get to, and pop out/in the ark.

Thanks re leg, lying down with leg up to give it rest,

Did the doctors say how long you will have to rest it?

Make sure you charge enough to cover the difference for the extras you bought. You shouldn't absorb the unsold.

I agree totally. Round up to a number that is easy to deal with and still covers what you spent.

I agree. I would say just charge $.50 each so there isn't a lot of bother with change. I plan to give you $1 for two.

This is great of you to do this for us pirates. Sorry you had such a time with your credit card. I just ordered my rewards card today and will add any extra points closer to the TOAL. This is the card in my name only. We have a joint credit card too, but after previous experience I keep at least one credit card and bank account in my name only. My Ex closed all the credit cards and took all the money out of our bank accounts when he left. He even had the lock to the safe deposit box drilled so I couldn't get to the passports, birth certificates, stock certificates, savings bonds, etc.
I am much wiser now.

Quick hello as I've been down in sunny Pembroke the last couple of days. Now off to read the whole of this thread as I left as the last thread closed! Did manage to get a SM pressie whilst I was away tho'....it was nothing Welsh if anyone thought they were Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot!

Yes, eating early does help.

And yes, very easy to get to White Water Snacks. There's a park entrance/exit at the Grand California, right across from Grizzly River Rapids. WWS is just to the left of that entrance inside Grand Californian.

To the WDW veterans, I often describe the walk between the 2 parks as walking from Epcot Furture World to World Showcase. They are right across from each other. And the outside restaurants would start behind Mexico (still using the Epcot analogy). No more than a 10 minute walk from the DL entrance gates.

Now THIS I understand! Thanks for putting things into perspective for me.

I agree with the others. Just charge $.50 and cover the cost of the extras. I think it is safe to say no one will begrudge you the 14 cents and who wants to deal with the change anyway. Besides, you can use all those singles to pay the room service tips!

Thanks for coordinating the order for all of us.

On work computer use. My company is wayyy too lenient. They have never said anything to me and have "seen" me on the computer a lot. The attitude has basically been, get your job done and we will avert our eyes "at the proper moment" (ok, who knows the movie the line is from? )
.

That is how dh feels for the most part. There were a couple of people that literally were surfing the 'net for hours without doing any work. That was when they started *cracking down* and just removing access from the computers.

Hey Andrew ... For your sake I hope it is not a DVT... Been there, done that. It is not fun. Listen to the doctor, and be sure to get up and walk around on your flight from England. Take care, and all the best.

Julie ... Thanks for all your work with the wrist bands. You are getting a straight dollar from me for both of mine! You deserve it for all your work.

Everyone else !! Hi, have a great weekend all!

[4fosterkids]

ohhh fun! I came across this today while searching for something else. It is the after dinner drink at Palo! It was just fabulous...anybody know if they still serve it?

Schipinnio - special cocktail from Italy

Absolut Vodka 1/2 oz
A sparkling wine (Prosecco) 2 oz.
Lemon Sherbert 4 scoops

we have an audio clip of our server saying the name....we loved how it sounded! LOL

Just make sure you get the money to Tina (Downrivermama) since I didn't have anything to do with the wristbands!

Good Morning everyone! TGIF!

Hope everyone is doing well this morning.

Wristband Update!​

I finally finalized the wristband order! So here is the good news and the semi-not so good news.

First the wristbands will be under 40 cents each (just waiting for my cc to go through)! To get the cheaper price, I ordered 1,000 wristbands, so if anyone didn't put in an order and still wants them, I can do it. I ordered more of the red/black ones, since they were the most popular and some extra lime green large ones.

Now for the not so good news, that really will only effect the pirates that want the wristbands mailed before the cruise. I was quoted a production time of 14-21 business days, which would mean I would receive them mid July. the rep told me around July 18 or 21st.That's not to say I might get them sooner.
Thanks for doing this.

 

[MJGirl]

Sorry Julie ... I was trying to find Tina's name and came across your response to her and picked the wrong one . I'll definitely get the money to Tina...


Tina ... Thank you so much and sorry for the name slip!

 

[dahuffy]

I still have my 'Sunshine Family' and their house! I thought I had gotten rid of them and my mom was th one that freaked out. I did eventually find them.

I have the Sunshine Family still new,in the box!

 

[dahuffy]

Sil, have you tried the company discounts? We were thinking of renting as well but I decided against it. Will take the super shuttle to Hojo.

We're going with SS to HoJos too.

 

[dahuffy]

I can't wait to see Rich in a Tux!!!



Glad Dads surgery went well. We missed you!

Great Roger!!!! Does Cherie think you are too organized!!!

I haven't seen Kevin in a tux since we got married in 1979!

 

[dahuffy]

I am sure someone will have some duct tape and we can use some human hair ( From me back) if we needs to be tying him up ...

EWWWW!

 

[arlenesp]

I think I might do this too. They have never shut down my card when we are in WDW. they probably think, there's that crazy woman in WDW again. Doesn't she ever stay home!



That I did. It didn't take very long either. My friend had her cc declined renewing her subscription to Ancestry because her cc company had a fraud alert for Ancestry, so she had to call to put it through.

So if I have to talk to you about my cc, that isn't good, eh?

Ancestry and the other sites for checking on your family tree are used by those trying to get your info to use for example identity theft.They can find out mothers maiden name and a whole bunch of stuff you wouldn't want anyone delving into. Never thought of it that way before until they explained it to me.

Coupon?

Thank you so much for doing this.

Speaking of credit cards - this might be a good time to remind people about the Capital One credit cards. Generally speaking, they are the only card still available that imposes no foreign transaction fees. For those who plan on spending significant money abroad, this can save you quite a bit.

Good to know. As there is usually an average 3% charge. Visa and M/C do impose the 1% to all banks for currency conversion.Cap 1 must be eating the fees. I will use one of our cards if I buy anything in the ports as it is easier to deal with a merchant if something is not ok after you get home and you need to dispute something.

Oh I loved that drink. Our server told us it was I think Champagne? Whatever it was really good. Even DH drank some of his. (He is not to drink alcohol with his meds ) This is what wikipedia says about the drink

Prosecco also features in the Italian mixed drink Sgroppino (with vodka and lemon sorbet). I like your spelling better

After dinner we will attempt to get down to IKEA. It was just too darn hot today.

An additional suggestion on credit cards, take a few on this trip, and tell your Bank / credit card company about one week before you go, of the places and ports you will be going to, there are many security checks nowadays, and your cards could be stopped, when they do stop a card, they may call your home phone or write a letter, but you will not be there, they wont call the ship, so to avoid expensive calls to unblock your card tell them a week before, Do not do it too soon as they will forget or it will be buried in all of the other admin.

Also Disney or DCL, will seek an 'authorisation' for a certain limit as you check in to yuor hotel or the ship, often this is a per day amount say $100 per day so fro a 15 day cruise it could be 1,500. Whilst you may not 'use' this limit the authorization is outstanding all the time you are there and eats into yourauthorizationyour limit which could cause a refusal.

Whatever is easiest for you, seriously!

There wasnt a space in the DVT clinic for a scan until Monday the options are:-

1/ A bad ligament strain
2/ DVT

The GP (My local assigned doctor), Thinks its DVT, and wanted me to go straight to A&E, A&E think it might be a ligament strain, or torn ligament, but as I cannot have this confirmed to Monday, and I have a blood condition that has confused them in the past, they do not wish to take any risk.

So I am on a Daily injection ( every 24 hours) at A&E, till Monday, -will be full of holes by then, and then the scan will see.

In the meantime I must rest the leg, because of the possible Ligament issue, but also keep moving if DVT!!

I personally feel its ligament was surprised by all the fuss really, but the ligament will take about a Month to correct. I can walk on it, by its painful, but it wouldn't stop me on the holiday!

The Doctors are aware I have lost a lot of weight over the last 5 months and part of that is walking, so that is a possible cause, but also as I went by train within a month and sat for three hours, they cannot discount DVT.

 

[pdarrah]

For all those planners who like seeing everything laid out in a spreadsheep, I just finished updating mine using the dining info recently posted (realizing that as in all things DCL, it could change!) and thought it might be helpful for others. Here is a link to the Excel version. I also put a copy into Google Docs for those who don't have Excel - this is my first attempt at sharing a Google Doc, so we'll see if this link works.

Feel free to copy/use/modify for your own use. If anyone knows of anything that is missing, let me know and I'll update it. I put events that were knew the date, but not the time, down at the bottom of each day. Events that don't even have a day yet, are on the far right of page 2.

Just do what the Dr. says. DH said it was a really bad pain in his calf and he has a really high threshold for pain. So now he has this umbrella looking filter in his vein to catch any clots.
