[PBader]

Crash...I'm so glad to hear about your friend Jean!!
Praying for a miraculous recovery.

Me too! That is great news.

 

[PBader]

Trying to catch up, but I think it may be hopeless once again.

I had my final physical therapy session today.


I GRADUATED!!!


Still have a lot of work to do at home and in the gym...but no more appointments 3 times a week.

Now make sure you keep doing some of them at home!!!!

 

[PBader]

OK, DH & I are officially signed up for Disney's Expedition Everest Challenge!
4 days at WDW, no kids, and AKL for $155/night!



Oh, I really hate running!

It will be a fun weekend for you both

 

[arlenesp]

Morning everyone

Beautiful day here. 54 here partly cloudy altho the sun is shining. High 76, low 55

Hope everyone had a great Valentines day.

Crash glad to hear of Jeans recovery.Keep me posted...........

 

[jhryb]

Oh no.

This is my friend who bought DVC as a single person. Goes 2-3 times a year by herself or with friends. When DH gets the message and books Victoria and Albert's Chef's Table for my 40th b-day, this friend is there.

She understands.

Wow - you do have a great (and understanding) friend. I am actually a little embarrassed to tell my friends that my DH and I are spending my 40th Bday at WDW sans kids, because I know that they will not understand. They will think that I am losing it. I can't wait to finally take part in the Food and Wine Festival. I can't wait to finally go to 'grown up' restaurants. I can't wait to go to Pleasure Island. I can't wait to .......

Good morning!

Happy belated Valentine's to all my friendly pirates!

Congrats and Birthday wishes to those who I have missed over the past few days.... to anyone who needs it (or just wants one!)


I got excited when I saw postings of room assignments and dining changes..nothing has changed on our ressie....


Brendan got me this for Valentine's Day!

Happy Friday...OH there is chat tonight! Friday chat night! I almost forgot!

Have you stayed at AKL before? Wonderful place to stay!!

Nope. We've never stayed at a deluxe resort before. I usually can't bring myself to pay the price since we can stay in just as big & nice a room at SOG for $125.

AKL is #1 on DH's list as far as a place to stay & the price is great, so I can't resist!

You'll LOVE F&WF! We've been several years & it keeps getting better.

Grown up WDW is wonderful. I've gone for a week with 3 friends (including the bride & maid of honor) & DH and I made a few day trips by ourselves when we lived in FL.

I love my kids. I love sharing the joy of WDW with them and seeing through their ever changing eyes, but there is something special about an adult trip.

Brendan and I stayed there a few years ago for my birthday..It is such a beautiful resort! We had the absolutely funniest mousekeeper! She was a riot! (So good at the end of our trip we handed her a $20-on top of the $$ we left daily!)

Hello Chrissie - My dining change did not happen automatically. It seems that even though they say that they process "wait-listed" requests in the order that they were received, this is not the case. I called DCL myself last week and they would have switched me, but because I used a TA they said that I had to go through my TA. My TA called on Wednesday afternoon and she informed my yesterday morning that I had been switched. The best thing to do is to call them.

I called a few weeks ago and they said our TA put us on the waitlist...I already knew that because our TA told us as well!!!


I am sure it will work out in the end...just anxious!

AKL is cool, its a great, kid friendly resort but is also a very grown up romantic place...

FYI - The Passporter is offering free shipping until the 18th on the 2008 Passporter. I ordered the deluxe refill pages w/ everything included it was around $17.50.
There is a 30% discount code of "friend" if you are not a previous customer.
In the preview download they said it would include information on Los Angeles and the Panama Canal.
Expected ship date- Mid-March.

Also, if you pre-order it you can immediately download it.

Had a thought last night What other ships will be in port while we are visiting. I know that we all think 1) we are the only ones on the Magic 2) we will be the only ship in port the days we are visiting. So here is what I found.

Date....Port....................Magic....................Other Ship

8/17....Los Angeles...........5pm......................Vision of the Seas 5pm
8/19....Cabo San Lucas.....9am-4pm................Vision of the Seas 10:30am-6pm
8/20....Puerto Vallarta.......9:30am-11:30pm.....Carnival Pride 8am-10pm
8/22....Acapulco...............6:30am-1pm...........None
8/26....Cartagena.............9:30am-5:30pm.......None
8/28....Aruba...................7am-11:30pm..........None
9/1......Port Canaveral.......7:35am..................Sovereign of Seas

Vision of the Seas 2435 passengers
Carnival Pride 2667 passengers

At San Pedro there will be 2 separate terminals next to each other but this still means 5000 passengers boarding in this area. Our first two stops will be crowded as well with 5000 passengers disembarking about the same time. Good thing we got those zipline ressies already.

 

[GOS]

Anyone receive any room assignments lately or are you still on a GTY?

Checked the other day and we were still GTY. Going to check again tonight.

Just checked and we're still listed GTY

Trying to catch up, but I think it may be hopeless once again.

I had my final physical therapy session today.

Great news Stace!! Make sure to keep working it, just don't overdo it.

Every formal I owned in HS had a butt bow! I hate them, but it was required in the 1980's. I even had a few of them 'taken in'. I was skinny in HS, like double digits skinny, & most of the butt bows were actually visible from the front - like my butt had wings.

Oh, the butt bow.

Guess I better return this dress I bought for you for formal night.

Looks like the DIS chat is still down

 

[arlenesp]

Came across this on another Disney site. Haven't gotten around to reading it yet but a CM on DCL wrote about her experiences. Here is the link if anyone is interested. http://www.allearsnet.com/cruise/issue389.htm

Have the kids for a bit. Thinking of Bucca for dinner. They have some new seafood entrees and the $10 coupon helps.

Gotta run...............

Hi everyone.......just wanted to stop in and say hi and share with you guys. I haven't been on here much lately. After long days with special ed preschoolers and then coming home to my kids and family, I am too pooped to even think about staring at the computer screen.

ANYWAYS.........The physical therapist who works with some of my students has a student teacher working with her right now. Something was mentioned about DCL and the student teacher perked up and said "I have a friend who is in some of the shows for DCL but she wasn't sure what ship SO.............I told her she HAD to find out. A few weeks had gone by..I had forgotten aall about it.

Today she came in and told me that her friend is on the MAGIC. He asked for all of our sailing information & said he may make our trip extra "special". She couldn't remember what some of the characters he played were BUT she did remember he plays Jeremy in the first & last show they have on the ship(can't remember the name of it right now - disney dreams???) - I was so excited! Now maybe between now and then we will have been forgotten I am not sure but its really cool to know someone who knows someone who knows someone.................it would be even cooler if he did remember! Anyways, just thought i would share.

Have a great weekend everyone - maybe I will try and make it to chat.
