[JenGC]

U-GO GIRL[lefty] WE sent you a TRUCK LOAD of PIXIE DUST[prayers], I see it got to NASHVILLE.It was really hard to get those jeans to wear[in the office] and a cruise, WOW !, that was half of the truck load [preyers] by it self. Now I want 2 ice cream cones from SCOOPS.

You're gettin' expensive there buddy.

But yes, the prayers reached all that way! Thanks so much!

Hello All,

First let me re-introduce myself. This is actually P. Leilani, I had to set up another account, for some reason I cant not log onto this site from any other computer (it wont take my password...weird I know) Anyway depending what computer I am on or if I am logging on via my phone I guess will depend on how I log in so in short P. Leilani= Princessandthemommy, = Gennifer (real name).

I just did not want to confuse anyone about a newbie to the group...lol.

So hello again to you all.

Jen@ I am still working on the Ice Cream social (it is the party planner in me). I will have all the details ASAP.

 

[Princessandthemommy]

Oh how fun! I am seriously thinking about getting some points. Do you plan on going to the parks?

How was the interview for Disney for your son?

Princessandthemommy= P. Leilani,

What are points and how do you earn them, are they a DVC member only or DVisa card member only reward.

Coolio! I think we are doing dinner as well LOL

You buy them. they are the DVC points. You can buy points off of someone that is selling them and you can add to the points you already own. I may seriously think about buying some if I get this job.

YES, Dw & I are planning to hit the parks twice B-4 we cruise, Our Ds got us some park tickets B-4 the price went up yesterday. As for the job......not enough pixie dust. And as for points , its a BUYERS market right now. GO -4- IT if you can, your DD will LOVE you for it. Had ours since 97, We have loved every minute of it.

 

[Princessandthemommy]

Need some advise for the future,

I am considering booking another DCL cruise while on board if all goes according to plan, here is my stumbling block. (I hear it is discounted that way if you book on board)

Do we go in December for DD 4the birthday Dec 29, that way we will be at sea on New Years eve. And my DDS-14 and DBF will be able to go (son will be out on vacation and Boy-Friend will be on vacation as well- he is a school administrator)
or
Do we wait for the Dream to launch and go early next year. In off peek season.

Any thoughts or suggestions.

You get 10% off the cruise price and you only have to put down half the normal amount for a deposit. I say that would come down to paying full price, or going without DS and DBF. I am going to book the Dec 4, 2011 cruise but that is a year away from what you are asking about.

[tikimimi]

Thanks MIMI , that will give us 570 pts now,where it will end........who knows. Right now it is a buyers market, if you need any and can afford it, BUY!Got these almost $ 10.00 less[per pt.] than we paid back in 97.

Oh how I wish we could add more right now just because of that market! Not in the cards for right now though... unless my lottery ticket won Tuesday. I better go check that thing.

[kamgen]

Jen- thanks for answering my silly questions...looks like you have a lot of Disney still to explore! Aweome!

 

[JenGC]

Jen- thanks for answering my silly questions...looks like you have a lot of Disney still to explore! Aweome!

They aren't silly questions! I think they are great questions to get to know everyone better. I have more things to talk about now! Yes, I need to do more. We went to Disney 5 years ago but we stayed on Disney property but in a hotel. I was looking forward to staying at WDW after the cruise but I am glad now that I decided to do the other cruise. I have heard so many people say that going to WDW after is so draining that they really didnt get much from the cruise. I want to go to WDW for a week without a cruise. Maybe if I can afford points, (if I get the job : ) then I can do more down there. I am just so addicted to the cruises.....and I haven't even gone on one yet!!

 

[btjhayes]

Congrats Jen! Sounds like it went great for you!!


I thought since we are getting closer to the cruise it would be nice to get to know some fun things about each other! We could all ask questions and those who want to answer can answer and ask more!

Here are a few fun Disney questions to get started:

1. When was your first visit to WDW and where did you stay?1978...when they still had "A, B, E" tickets, etc. with my grandparents and I think we stayed at the Contemporary b/c I vaguely remember the monorail running through the hotel.
2. Favorite Quick Service WDW restaurant? Pinocchio's in Fantasyland at MK
3. Favorite Table Service WDW restaurant? Chef Mickey's mostly for the atmosphere...food is okay...love the characters!
4. Name 2 TS restaurants you want to try and haven't? Le Cellier and Boma
5. Favorite Disney Resort and why? Swan and Dolphin if they count because I just love that area!!!!!

And for those of you who have cruised DCL before....
1. Favorite place to relax?
2. Favorite Activity on the ship?
3. Best excursion you have done?
4. First time you sailed DCL. First trip...Breezin' To The Bahamas!

Have fun!

TJ

You buy them. they are the DVC points. You can buy points off of someone that is selling them and you can add to the points you already own. I may seriously think about buying some if I get this job.

Back up the truck 'cause JEN needs more PIXIE DUST. worship:
