It's a small world after all!

I just called Disney Visa to have them add the travel note and the agent I spoke with was sitting next to Arlene Hey Cheryl - Arlene says "Hi!"

Pamela

Hahaha did you ask or what??

My oldest just signed up for the National Jamboree in 2010.

Did they try to sell you the total protection package?

 

[Nutty4Disney]

Ditto that! Though I did know a bunch of "Teresa's" and "Terri's" when I was growing up, none were in my classes. One case of mistaken identity though, apparently I had a distant cousin with the same first/last names... In college, her transcripts were stapled onto mine and no one bothered to even check that I would've been 1 yr old when she failed out of that college The first time I went to the Dr in town after I moved here, they rudely asked "Do you have insurance?" I was like "Yeah..." Then they gave me paperwork for a woman that was 20 or so yrs older. And then creditors called my sister and asked if she knew me (again mistaken identity!)

It bugs me that no one can spell my name correctly... I always have to say "Teresa, no 'h'" and they still mispell it! I too go by Terri most of the time. In college, I always knew how people knew my name... If it was from a friend or I introduced myself, it was "Terri" but if they looked at an assignment or something, it was "Teresa". I always thought Teresa was more professional sounding so I started using that at work after college too.

I have an H. I am named after St. Theresa Martin. I have even had people try to pronounce the H. My principal in HS did when he announced me for graduation. I told him twice at rehearsal the H was silent, but there in front of the entire class he called me THeresa. I guess it may have been a good thing the principal didn't know me on a first name basis.

I only use the Theresa when it is official business - insurance, DL, doctor, etc. So when someone calls on the phone and asks for Theresa I usually know it is a telemarketer or my doctor's office.

Hahaha did you ask or what??

Nope, I started listing the countries and I think I may have said it was a cruise. She asked if it was the DIsney Panama Canal cruise and when I said "yes!" she said it was funny because her co-worker sitting next to her was on that same cruise. THEN I asked if the co-worker was Arlene

I got the speil when I put the travel alert on mine.

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

Ummmm Roger? What TIME should we casually, not as a mob head out to catch the bus?

Pamela

Just got this from Carla

Hi Roger,

I’m glad you think this is a good idea.

I would tell the guests to meet IN the terminal between 8am – 8:30am

This was everyone won’t come all at once.

There are always early birds and a then come the stragglerssss, the ones who forgot their towel and etc.

We’ll be waiting and ready for them.

Also the ones who prefer to go on their own by jeep rental or those who just didn’t get the message, we will also have someone at MooMba waiting for them.



If you are going to “post” this that would be great.



If you plan to “post” it would really help us if you mention that the morning cruise is sold – out (many are still trying to get on!)

If you want to mention that some have signed up for the afternoon cruise this would help!!!



Thank you!!!!

TRANSFERS QUESTION

We aren't taking the Disney transfers but was wondering if we should put the luggage tags on the bags before we leave our home airport or wait until we arrive in LA.

I wasn't sure if we used the tags if Disney will end up pulling the bags when they shouldn't be. How do they tell which have booked transfers through the cruise line and those that didn't

We are arriving the day of the cruise

Thanks

If you are not using DCL transfers, then I assume you're finding your own way to the port. The tags should be put on after you claim your bags at the airport and before you give them to the porters at the port. The tags will allow the porters to get your bags to your cabin later in the afternoon.

I came on to look abit, while trying to get work out of the way. Thanks for the reminder Pamela! Guess who I talked to? ARLENE! Cool!

OK now I'm too excited about getting this vacation started!

Trying to ketchup, but fear it is a lost cause.

 

[micmse2003]

I won't be going, he will go alone (with adult Scoutmasters).

Its the Boy Scout National Jamboree http://www.bsajamboree.org/

DD went to a Girl Scout National a long time age. Sounds exciting for him. If it was in Florida,I am sure you would beg to help.

So, you are going to treadmill for four and a half hours then?

But I did a ten% incline too!!! How many calories do you think a Chocolate Lava Cake has in it>

It is a small world..........I met Arlene when I called to complain about United Airlines overcharging me for a trip to WDW(my airline tickets by $3000). Arlene answered the Visa phone to help and we have been friends ever since.

 

[Joan1]

Thank you for all your answers on the transfer tags

That is too funny. I talked to the person last night whom (or who)we discussed ( ) and thought it was a great plan. I just don't have time to pm. you.

 

[micmse2003]

Do you really think we will have another pirate before we all leave??????????? What could still have to possibly discuss!!!

 

[ChrizJen]

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd pop in here and wish you all safe travels, and have a GREAT cruise!!

I've glanced in here a time or two over these past months, and I'm glad to see so many of you still here. I'm finally to the point where I don't cry just reading here...
But I still get a little teary-eyed thinking about the TOAL that we won't be on...Maybe next year.

I hope you all have a wonderful time, and I can't wait to see pictures!!!

Hmm...how much have we actually discussed in the few weeks?

By the way..got an email from DCL Weddings..I have been blessed with something truely "hassle Free"..issue all worked out....only took 2 hours...a couple of emails..phone calls and a shoulder to cry on!

 

[allshookup]

I can't believe I forgot to tell everyone.


I got a call from the company I interviewed with. They are in the final selection process and asked that I provide them 3 references. I've sent those off so we'll see what happens.

Keep us posted Monica!!!

I finally had the pants hemmed up so Caro took a couple of pictures of me in my Tux:

and:

I also have a Bow tie to go with the vest.

What do you all think??

six more nights until TOAL

Very dapper!

Yes. LOTS! And heat makes it worse...it was 106 yesterday......

He thought the pain was from something else so, he was using a heating pad for 2 wks before he went to the Dr.
Our oldest 2 children get shingles, also. So, does his mom & brother. This was the first time that dh got them... I told him there must be something hereditary about the *chicken px* virus since they all get cold sores, too. Luckily there are so many good medications out there to get rid of the stuff quickly.

Although the dr wouldn't even tell him what was good to take for the pain. He kept ignoring dh whenever he asked. It was his regular dr so, he should be able to tell by his records that he isn't some type of pain medicine junkie.

Oy so sorry this happened, but I'm glad it happened in time to treat!

Here are some pictures from our adventures at Pinks yesterday with Chrissie and Brenden

We'll be there in just a few more days!!! Was it good???

He needs some green kool aid. Congrats wench!



I always thought it was interesting that just about every girl my age (35-ish now) is named Michelle, Amy or Lisa (there were at least 3 of each in all of my classes and teams) & our moms were all Judy, Linda & Bonnie (60-ish now).

(I'm not saying you are my moms age...I have no idea...)

Diane was one of the most popular names in the 60s, now it doesn't even make the list. I was name after this song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD-AJK_MUrU

..and there were abs...lots and lots of abs...



Don't forget Gymnastics Hour - 4 p.m. dialy on the ship.




Nice Dan. So you'll be the guy in the nightshirt and top hat then?


YAY! Brendan's Big Adventure. Did it live up to the hype?

Inquiring minds wanna know!

I'll second that thought... 4 more days of work.. and then ..


BTW i had a real scare this morning.. missed my traintype scare.. for all of the bottom line only folks.. everything is ok

I thought I lost my wallet.. credit cards, driver license, health card., cash station card. etc.. I went to Target last night and then thought I put it in my laptop bag like always.. I am driving off to the train this morning and looked for my wallet .. wanted to see if I had any money.. not in the pocket it belongs..stopped and looked all over the laptop bag..in all the pockets .. zipped and unzipped each one.. not there. turned around went home.. not on my desk, not in the pocket of the jeans I had on last night.. not in the kitchen or the bath.. nowhere..

So my mind is racing.. ok i can get on a plane with the passport.. if I cancel the credit cards will i get a replacement before Friday.. prob not.. so I can bring am ex checks.... So i wake up DH and ask him to drive me to train.. as I don't have a license.. he said he would look around the house some more and then go to Target.. I am PANICed.. but have the train ticket and badge to get to work in another pocket of laptop bag..

Get on the train.. keep looking for the 12th time in the laptop bag.. like it will appear magically.. Took my blackberry out to check emails and FOUND IT in behind the Blackberry.. in the little blackberry pocket.. i AM SO RELieved.. so that is my day so far.. how is yours??

Oh my that was some heart pounding moments huh? I have then quite frequently & I imagine I'll be doing that often during the next few days. That's one of the reasons I picked the user name I have.

 

[Stepht5]

We always stay as cheap as possible. We would rather stay cheaper for longer and do more vacations per year instead of one big huge high-end room vacation.

DH can only take off 3 wks a year. So, when he is with us we stay as comfortably as possible. But, when the kids & I travel I usually stay at Holiday Expresses!

Now when we were younger and not as much expendable income....
