You know how it goes, if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it!

Isn't that the truth!!

I looked on the website, and it says to download a special form, but if you hit the "download" thing, it takes you to Disney's site and I looked everywhere, even did a search and there's no form to download. I guess they don't really want anyone to do these things!

And just how much $$$$$$$ do they want for these things??

Fill out a form and they will send you a quote!

Sorry. When we flew to London, we had the best food.

I think today is Passport day. Will try to get the photos done this am and then off to the passport office.

DH got sort of good news at the Dr Wednesday. Now if I can only get him off to the gym.
DDs husband was off to Korea yesterday. She is feeling lonely already.He will be there til the middle of May. This is the 3rd time the hotel has sent him there. They rotate the managers every so often. The manager from Germany I think is taking his position here in Orlando

Glad to hear about Rich. I didn't get a chance to call him the other night. Maybe while you and Cheryl are in chat I will give him a call.

Hi Everyone!

Once again, I was off the DIS this week - things are just too busy both at work and home! Work has slowed down this morning (I'm starting to think no one else is working on Friday's!) so I have just finished ketchup. Since the old thread is locked, you have all been spared a huge multi-quote

Just a few quick comments from the last thread:

What's with all the bunnies with stuff on their heads? Doesn't the SPCA have something to say about this?

Shoes - I so totally agree about flats (and Crocs!). I have totally flat feet and wearing heals is downright painful. I don't think I own anything above 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch heel. However, I can't really wear flipflops either - no support - so I mostly live in athletic shoes with custom orthotics and my Crocs. Definitely a problem for dressy shoes!

Steph5 - I have a "short kid" also. It varies a little, but he is usually one of the 3 shortest in his grade at school. I am 5'3" and DH is 5'8" so I don't expect he'll ever be tall (Although it is possible since my DF's family tends to be tall with VERY late growth - like the great uncle who went off to WWII at 5'8" and returned home at 6'4".)

I loved the description of "Posh Spice" at the gymnastics class! The part about trying to get a picture next time cracked me up. There used to be a DISer that had a website with photos of "bad shoes" at WDW - once we heard about it, we started watching for "bad shoes" also. DS was used several times in order to get photos of the shoes....

M - I LOVE the Kid Journal stuff. I've done Journals for DS for past cruises, but your's look better than mine! Right now, I am swamped (Work, PTO Stuff, Garden club plant sale stuff & getting ready for DS's crazy-huge bday party next weekend!) but the work of it will be over around mid-May. If you still need any volunteers after that, I can join in then.

Whatever you do, DO NOT look in his backpack.
In my world, school folder and library books go in. School folder and library books come out. I'm afraid to dig any deeper.

This is Soooo true! I had to get some of the c**p out of DS's backpack just this morning - they are having a talent show in his reading class and I had to get his step-dance shoes into the backpack, so some of the garbage had to come out!

So its not just my boys! Phew!

My DS8 has a helper come in his class once a week to clean out all the carp he has in his desk. The bookbag is usually overflowing then.

They just want people to do them who absolutely don't care how much it costs!

Puerto Vallarta - The Villa at Caletas
The price for the Villa is $2,350 (up to 8 guests)

It sounds wonderful but a little out of my budget

 

[tom31b]

I wonder how people who had shore excursion booking over the last two weeks made out (e.g. Mexican Riviera cruises in July) given the problems with website....

Puerto Vallarta - The Villa at Caletas
The price for the Villa is $2,350 (up to 8 guests)

So who is going for it? Can I come along?

 

[ga9497]

Seems Joan and I posted at the same time

Sure -- it seems that if they can include 8 and there are only a few of them . . . might as well invite ourselves, right, Jo????

Looked at another way, it is only $300 per guest . . .

I posted these on the main board, hoping to get some responses:

Calling All 2005 Mexican Riviera and Repo Cruisers

What shore excursions did you do and what did you think of them?

Thanks!

Kids Cruise Journal

Did anyone create their own kids cruise journal? There are some pages available on themouseforless site, but I was wondering what others have done?

Can you share?

Also, anyone know of any other websites with similar material?

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

It was me Julie!!! My wish list appeared but I could not add or delete!!! I just tried now and it is working!!!!

Thanks!!! Andrew needs to try now!!!

Just back after a meal out will try later.

I was just looking around a few of those threads -- it's amazing how few Dis people they have on some of those cruises!

Thats right I am not shy I will invite myself - just kidding

Doesn't sound too bad when you say only $300 per guest

They quote after they google Earth your home, check your credit background and search for assets to attach. These premium experiences actually sound quite nice - however, I want a deal before I bite. Then I'll want to google earth thier sites, check their ability to deliver as promised, and google the web for trip advisor remarks or anything else I can find on 'em! < wink >

Seriously, I've been following everyones' planning thoughts and ideas with huge interest - however, I'm still nailed to the fence until I can get my group organized enough to plan some shore excursions. I'm painted into a conservative slow mo position unfortunately.

Now when we see you sailing off for your private day, we will all wonder if you found someone to invite you or if you made peace with only $300 per guest!
