Just have to share this story from our local news. It brought tears to my eyes when I watched it on the news. Karen Campanale said she pretty much kissed her rings goodbye & she couldn't believe how Disney went above & beyond the call of duty to return them. One of the many reasons we love Disney so much! Sometimes they really get it right!![]()
Disney workers recover rings mistakenly thrown away
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Walt Disney World seems to have worked its magic on a Massachusetts couple who accidentally threw away three platinum and diamond wedding rings.
While tidying up their villa as they prepared to leave the park late last week, Paul Campanale dumped a cardboard bowl, not knowing the container inside it held his wife Karen's engagement, wedding and five-year-anniversary rings.
Park employees warned the couple from Worcester, Mass., that recovering the jewelry was all but impossible. So on Friday, the Campanales and their two children loaded onto a Magical Express bus and headed to the airport.
Back at the Wilderness Lodge resort, executive housekeeper Drew Weaver realized that trash from the Campanales' villa hadn't reached the industrial-size compactor yet. He and seven other volunteers donned protective clothing, emptied a parking lot bin and waded through bag after bag of rubbish to find the rings. And they did.
Paul Campanale, 37, a chemist, received the good news on his cell phone and Weaver met the family to deliver the rings. Karen Campanale, 35, a teacher, said she was shocked by the find.
"That's not the first time we've gone through trash -- oh, no," Weaver said. "We don't always find things. Many times we come up empty. But we didn't this time."

My Mom's surgery isn't going to be this Friday, scheduling conflicts with her docs are holding things up. Decisions have been made though and thankfully she has calmed down![]()
I've missed more than 20 pages and don't have the energy to go back more than a few to catch up.
It's still you, Mike and Tom for this weekend, right![]()

As of now, it looks like things are fairly well settled down, so we should be there! I think the boys would mutiny if we cancelled on them. Can't wait to meet everybody!
I KNOW that feeling Terri. I have been trying to get my feet used to heels for the last year. It is getting better, but my feet prefer flats![]()
My e-mail this afternoon:
Additionally, I can assure you all appropriate team members are aware
and prepared for the opening of pre-reservations for both the Disney
Wonder and the Disney Magic August 17 sailings.
DCL Response:
