well after pretty much deciding on sailing on the westbound transatlantic in 2011, we're now looking at doing a week in disney and a week long cruise.
i know lainey mentioned that she may be going back to florida in september 2011, jenny whats the chances of you and joe being over there in 2011 too? it'd be great to meet up again, better yet you guys should come on the 7 night cruise!!
 
I'm definitely considering Sept 2011. I was thinking of maybe talking to my family about it as the time gets closer. My nephew Jake will be 5 by then and that'd be the perfect age to take him back to Disney. He was there when he was 1 and he doesn't remember a thing. I would love to meet up with you guys again!
 
yay for a possible cruise meet part 2!!
we've had more of a talk about it, and i think we've pretty much decided on the october 1st 2011 western caribbean 7 night cruise :) going to do 8 nights before and 1 night after in WDW, probably with the dining plan again!
you guys should come on the cruise!
 
Hey guys!! I haven't been on in forever!! We're getting ready to go back to Disney, leaving Friday night for a week. We were originally supposed to stay at Old Key West for 3 nights and then Beach Club Villas for 3 nights, but then our waitlist for 2 of the nights came through, so we were staying one night at OKW and 5 at BCV...but then my friend that works there had some guy pull some strings or something (no idea how these things work) and they have moved us to BCV for all 6 nights!! They called my friend who made the Vacation Club ressie for us and told her that they overbooked OKW, but it was just that the guy moved us somehow. Anyways, i'm super excited to get to stay at BC the whole time!!

If you all go back in Sept 2011, let me know!! Maybe i'll go. Although we are going on the MV of the Dream that year, AND i'm supposed to be going to Germany for 2 weeks...i'll bank some vacation to use!! LOL!! I can never get enough Disney!!

Have you guys seen the Disney Dooney & Burke bag? Use the Dis search and look for a link about it, I think i'm going to buy one on Saturday!! They look soooooo cute!!

Jen, I saw about your hard week last week, that sucks. My friend from band had her baby on the 18th, but there were some complications during labor, and he ended up passing away last Monday, so that was a hard wake to attend. It was just so sad, he was so cute and perfect looking...it is just amazing what can go wrong in a few short minutes.

The weather here is supposed to be SUCKO tomorrow night/wednesday morning. This morning it was snowy too, I worked from home in the morning and came in later. Thank god for my laptop!! :goodvibes
 

hi mary! was just thinking that we havent heard from you in ages!!
wow for going on the maiden voyage of the dream, how cool will that be, knowing that you're some of the first people to be on that ship! you'll have to let us know what its like! when are you cruising?
hows the CPA stuff going anyway?
 
CPA is going eh, I failed the one part, but I was expecting that. I took two other parts that I'm waiting for the scores on. I think I failed one, but i'm pretty sure I passed one. So, 2/4 on the first try isn't too bad! I'm retaking the one part that I know I failed in early February.

I'm SO excited about the MV!! It wasn't as much as I thought it would be, so that's good. I booked a room with a porthole, I didn't want to take a chance of getting an inside room on this one, since there is a sea day, but the balconies are TOO much for me!!
 
we had a porthole (free one!! booked a cat 12) on our first cruise and it was great, we didnt mind not having the window last cruise, but it was so much nicer being able to see us pull into port and having natural light.
what cat did you book? these new cats are a bit confusing, but i did wonder why it took them so long to realise that they could charge extra for being on specific parts of the ship!
 
i've been a bit p*ssed off the last couple of days, monday was a horrible day at disney. not sure why but pretty much ALL the customers were moody b*stards, and it wasnt just me who noticed that, the other CMs said the same thing too.
yesterday at the theme park was just dull. was soooo bored. was supposed to go pick up some money from a friend yesterday for the Muse tickets he asked me to buy for him. he texted me during the day and asked if he could pay me friday instead (why he'll have the moiney friday, but not yesterday i dont know?). he was supposed to pay me a week and a half ago, i went in last wednesday to go get it and it wasnt there either, and now he's screwing me around again. i've given him til friday then if he hasnt gotten it by then they're going on ebay.
the annoying thing is that i bought 4 tickets, he wants 2 but hasnt got the money for it, and i've already had one friend drop out because they dont have the money. why tell me to get them one if they cant pay for the damn thing?
at this rate i'm just tempted to sell all 3 and just go on my own.

hoping today is better at disney, dont think i can handle another crappy day, or i'll be coming home wanting to kill someone!
 
Thank you, Mary. I'm really sorry to hear about your friend from band. That's got to one of the hardest things to deal with. That's terrible, so sad.

Karen, the 10/1 cruise would be the week of my birthday so that would be awesome! Those are the cruises they always give the crazy TA deals away for, the 25/nt per person so it would be even better if I could get that! Maybe we'll go down for that and spend some time at Disney afterward.

I would just sell the tickets. I hate when people bail out on you after you've already purchased tickets. I learned my lesson and I always get the money up front!
 
yay for maybe-being-able-to-come-cruising-in-october!!!
it'd be great if we could all meet up again sometime round then, even if its only for a meal or something, but a cruise would be awesome!
 
Even if we don't all go on a cruise, we could always do dinner at Ohana again. That was so much fun and we had the best table in the place! This time Karen, me and you sit with each other on Buzz and see if we can beat the boys! ;)
 
Sounds like a good plan to me! I've never managed to beat Gary at those shooting games so you'll definately beat me! And Gary says hell yeah to more ohanas, i think between him and Joe they ate the whole cow!
 
I think I ate about 20 shrimp that night. I beat Joe sometimes on Buzz but never on TSM. Buzz is so random, I can never tell what I'm shooting at.
 
i prefer TSM as at least you're stationary. gary keeps moving the buzz car around as soon as i line up a decent shot! but he wont let me steer as i "keep moving it around too much"

i dont know what to do about work. any opinion would be greatfully appreciated:
i've pretty much been told by disney that i can stay on after xmas, which is yay!! i love it there, and its so much better/funner than my other job. BUT i'll be dropping down from a 20 hour contract to an 8 hour one. and apparently thats spread over 2 days. boo. my first reaction to that was "its not worth annoying my theme park boss (gemma) over for the sake of 8 hours a week".
so decided i'll have to go back to the theme park full time in january as was originally planned. but i just dont enjoy it there. before i left in july i used to do the MD's (philip) emails and personal stuff sometimes, basically i was trusted enough to do that. after i left the finance department, my boss up there did some major s**t stirring, and when gemma asked philip if i could come back, his answer was why do you want her back after all that? luckily gemma managed to argue my case and i was allowed back.
but the problem is, i really dont want to be back there full time. but i havent got another job lined up so gotta stick with it at the mo.
well i got in yesterday (after a really cr*ppy week at both jobs, along with some non work cr*p to deal with) and was reading the minutes of the management meeting, and one of the comments was "credit control has got 100% better since donna (woman who took my job in accounts over) took over". now was i really doing that bad a job? i know i wasnt, but at the mo it just seems that everyone there is against me. well maybe not actually against me, but their attitudes towards me have definately changed since i left.
its just making me not want to be there even more.
now i'm back to thinking, i should keep disney, and do 3/4 days at the theme park. why be at a place full time that i dont enjoy at all? but the only prob with staying at disney is that it costs me an hours wages in gas to get there and back, and they're only 4 hour shifts. i'll be able to pick up overtime if i want it, but if i do 4 days at theme park, and 2 days at disney i'll be doing 6 day weeks. just not sure what to do at the mo.
what do you think? kinda need an objective point of view and you guys are the best. :hug:
 
oh yeah, forgot to add that i'm sending out christmas cards today! i've got jenny's, lainey's, donna's and stacey's addresses, anyone else who wants a card, PM me your address!
 
I think you should just stay at Disney and only work part time at the theme park. Why be somewhere full time when it's just going to make you unhappy? It'll just result in the same thing as last time. I would just do part time at both while you look for something else full time. I understand that it costs more to commute to Disney but at least you enjoy it there. That makes it worth it. Just my two cents.

I like TSM 100x better than Buzz. I won't let Joe steer in buzz. He's too slow at it! :rotfl:
 
garys the opposite, he moved the damn thing around too fast, i can never shoot anything fast enough as its constantly moving.......
i think i'm going to have to have a word with gemma at the theme park on tuesday, if its a "full time or nothing" kinda scenario, then i guess thats my decision made for me, but i dont know at the mo til i ask.
 
thanks!
now make some money so i can fly out and wrap your xmas pressies!!
