Any 10-16-04 cruisers yet?

[WldWcnWmn]

Hazza Sandy! We're so glad you guys made it through yet another of Mother Nature's redecorating fits! I am so glad the horizons look clear for the forseeable future. Looks like you guys will be getting rain for the next week or so...nothing new to us here in Oregon. Rains everyday. Hope there's no flooding there. So glad to hear all is well!

Hi everyone !!!
I got my docs the other day, I wasnt even thinking they would be here by now, but time sure flies when youre remodeling a dungeon into a family room. It is 99% done !!! YAY I think I am more excited about that than the cruise ( did I just say that?) nooooooooooooooo !!! I guess I better shift gears as there isn't much time left to get ready!!! Nothing like waiting untill the last moment, huh. It's kinda starting to sink in now that there's only a couple of weeks left. Can you believe all this crazy weather, my office was flooded last week and I couldn't even drive into town, had to take a couple days off. I hope Sandy is doing well, I took some time to read all the posts I am sending pixie dust her way.....Now I can relax and just look forward to this vacation, everything is getting back to normal here. We did all the romodeling ouselves except for carpet, wood floors & electric, never again....now who wants to come hook up the surround sound system? that wire goes WHERE??? I am so clueless....we got an aquarium and some fish & I figured that out, they have been alive for going on 3 days now, hard to believe!!!
I must say tho, the family room has turned out 500% better than we imagined, I'm just sooooooo glad its done. Cruise here we come !!!!!!!!! Welcome to all the new people, we are: me, Lisa, DH Brian, DD19, DD14 (and that one may not come if she does't straighten herself out, ughhhh) but hey thats a whole nother story, ask me about the cooking oil and the dog and the 10 baths it took to get her clean and she is a LONG haired sheltie, go ahead ask me.....


I'm back & will be posting alot more now.....Bye & stay safe!

Lisa

Hi Everyone

I am really feeling discouraged. No docs yet. Seems like everyone has gotten theirs.

Please Please tell me are you having to be home to sign for them?? Or are they just being left??

Sandy glad you came through Jeanne ok. I was glued by the TV on Saturday night watching the weather channel as Jeanne was hitting land. That must have been really scary. Anyone heard how Port Canaveral held up?

Hello Everyone........

Glad everything's OK Sandy.........It's been hard for me to post lately, but I've been thinking about you.......I've been so busy, babysitting, picking up the slack of those who have forgotten what their phone numbers are and stuff...........but still have time to be excited about the cruise, hope everything is OK down south.........I'd be very disappointed missing a Disney Cruise 2 YEARS IN A ROW!!.........Hope our guys accomplished something today at the rally.......I was scared to go to work! See ya'll really really soon!!!! Good night........Jill

 

[Julebobo]

Vandawho: What do you mean you didn't go to work? Why didn't you have Danielson? I mean if I don't tell you Marchina people exactly what is up you just don't get it!!

We had sooooo much fun at Drew's party can't wait until the cruise that is going to blow us away. Nicole is hoping to be able to get a balloon for Robert at the party there......after all is was impossible at the party on Sat as they were all taken..........lol....

Sandy, glad all is well with you, you should be the official greeter on ship you have been through enough and deserve it.

Gotta get ready for the crew here chat later..........julebobo

 

[tevagirl]

First..... to Lisa62064....nuh uh, no way...I'm not asking! It sounds way too messy to even imagine!

Second....to Barb...hang in there, we haven't gotten ours yet either. I'm beginning to think we are going to have to take out a loan to pay for all the drinks we are going to have to get you guys.

Third...to Julebobo....first of all....if you are going to offer to babysit you really should give out YOUR number and not the number of your neighbor (who by the way, never answers her phone). Second of all....there were plenty of balloons at that party. It's not our fault your family was too busy hanging around the "secret cooler" and wasn't in line when they gave them out. You know that ancient saying about alcohol and balloons not mixing....you don't? Well, you never were any good at history.

Sandy - Glad you and your family are safe.

Mickey02 - I did not have to sign for my docs. They came UPS. I asked a Disney Rep prior to them arriving and she said they do not have to be signed for. Not sure who you booked with but we booked w/Disney online.

Let's hope this is the end of the bad weather for Florida and the E. Carribbean. My daughter is getting school pics today and it's been raining like crazy up here in PA. Good day for ducks but not for pics! Come to think of it I don't even think the ducks like this much water.

SAndy, glad you and your family are doing well. Let's hope that's the end of it for a while.

No docs here yet. Who was the one that said the last person to get their docs had to buy everyone drinks? What a silly thing to say. Maybe we didn't get our docs yet because they are giving us all upgrades. Yeah, that's it!

Well, I have the kids Halloween costumes for the MNSSHP. My 5 year old is "The Flash"....a pretty cool costume. And, think of the nerdest person my oldest could be? Yes, Frank wants to be Harry Potter for halloween. Can we all say Nerd? I tried to show him the mummy costumes and the ninja costumes but he wants to be Harry Potter! I kept my mouth shut but deep down I just want the kid to be cool! Why oh WHY?

We leave for Florida in 2 weeks. I can't wait. The only hurricane I want to see while on that ship are the ones you order from the bar!!!

Third...to Julebobo.... It's not our fault your family was too busy hanging around the "secret cooler"

There was a SECRET COOLER? I wasn't aware of any, second the balloon were designated to the OTHER crowd and third the phone # you insisted on calling is a seasonal person. And if she were theree she would have answered and it would have been PERFECT!

 

[Denine]

All right, I'll bite. So Lisa, tell us the story about the dog and cooking oil.

I am so ready for vacation!

 

[katie'sduck]

You're a brave woman Denine!

Hi Everyone,

Well our docs finally arrived in Australia on Monday. Don't know why but I wasn't as exited as all you guys are....though I was pretty excited when my MNSSHP tickets arrived....
Anyway, I booked through DU and when you all started getting your docs I contacted our agent and she contacted DCL who said they had been posted the day before. Our agent said they are posted out by DCL in no particular order. But since we leave on Sunday I was starting to worry they might not show up in time..

Just confirming the wine party is at 2.30pm MONDAY (deck 7). If that changes after Sunday 3rd can someone slip a note under our door on the cruise?

Sandy, I am glad that you are back here and that you and your family came through this hurricane safe and sound.

It has been said that the last one to get their docs will buy everyone a drink, but I think we should all buy Sandy a drink. I can't imagine going through what she has been through in the last month. My hat's off to anyone who goes through two hurricanes in one year and hasn't lost their sense of humor.

My granddaughter came up to me last night (3 1/2 yrs old) and said she wanted her "case". I kept asking her what she wanted, because I didn't understand her. After saying "case" three or four times, she said (in a rather loud voice) "my blue CASE!!!" I finally realized she meant her suitcase. I told her that I had it in a very safe place. I don't want her getting into it as it is filled with new coloring books and sticker books. I want to save some surprises for her for the plane trip on the 16th.

Our DCL DVD came in the mail yesterday. I can't believe how beautiful the ship is!

Hi All,
We have our docs, Yippee !!! I was in a meeting all day, came home and while checking the disboards read there was an earthquake in central CA...I didn't feel a a thing, and my meeting was in a VERY central part of CA. Of course I've been in 3 earthquakes in my life, the biggest the one in Alaska in the 60s. That one was incredible...we all ran outside and watched the ground move up and down like a seesaw.

 

[scrapcreator]

Just wanted to pop in and say "Hi". We're on the 10/16 - dd (9), dh and I. Our docs arrived this weekend. I'd been trying to figure out how to read this thread (my computer doesn't like the length of it, lol) so (duh) I tried starting at the end.

Anyway, we are really excited to be taking our first Disney Cruise

Jeanne

 

[katie'sduck]

Glad you made it to the boards and welcome!

[Julebobo]

Denine: Are you also going on the repo cruise? We are and just yesterday I got out cabin assignment 7510. I think I have seen you on the other link. Julebobo

Oh yea, and we should have our docs by Thursday pm. Not really excited about that either but need to get them as we leave Friday, the 8th and I am excited about that. Really need this vaka so if no one sees me for the first few days me and vandawho will be at the bar with Goofy................

 

[tevagirl]

Welcome, Jeanne! We are excited too!

Gloria...my DGD is also 3 1/2 and she gets very indignant when I have to ask her what she has said more than two times. The hands go on her hips, her words get louder (not clearer, just louder) and her face gets all squinty. They are funny. Scary, but funny.

Julebobo...I do believe the "secret cooler" was actually kept in your car, was it not?

Have to get ready for work..talk to you all later.

OK- heres the story about the cooking oil & the dog. It all started when I woke up last Sunday morning and found a saucepan filled with what I thought was water on the back burner of the stove. My DD19 is a health freak and I always find saucepans with vegetable water sitting until I dump them out after she has eaten the vegetables. So what do I do? I start to pour it down the sink, only to my dismay that I find it is not water, but in fact it is vegetable oil. I know this is not my DD19's doing- she wouldnt dream of eating anything deep fried, let alone cook with oil. I knew it had to be DD14 who doesnt eat anything UNLESS its deep fried LOL (isnt it amazing how 2 kids can be soooooooo different) so after I calmed down and chased the oil with about 5 minutes worth of hot water down the sink, I questioned DD14. Oh yes she made french fries after we had all gone to bed last night. OH. so I said, "you know I dont like you to cook oil on the stove not to mention its not good for you to eat like that, plus you never clean up & guess whos left with the mess" blah blah blah. So I told her to go down & dump the rest of the oil in the weeds, which translates to take it down PAST the treeline & back INTO the woods. Well she stood there as I watched from the window & did what I told her NOT to do. The oil went right at the treeline and the dog was out. Well, you can guess what the dog did, as dogs do doesnt matter how much you pay for that pedigree. We were sitting, DH Brian & I, and guess who wanders over....a WET dog. not wet from water, mind you. WELL Brian just starts laughing, and for some reason that set me off big time....and then the dog had to have a bath....and a bath......and another bath....ect.....and the moral to this story is for all you kids out there reading: THERE IS ALWAYS A REASON YOUR PARENTS TELL YOU TO DO SOMETHING A CERTAIN WAY. And there my friends is the oil & dog story. WHEW I need a vacation.

WOO HOO! We finally have our electricity back!!! I'm so happy. At first the power company said we might not get it back until Oct. 12. I don't think I'd be able to handle that.
Still no school for DS. Maybe Monday. Kids have missed 17 days (so far) because of hurricanes. I feel very guilty about taking him out for the cruise now. We REALLY need this vacation though.


Welcome Jeanne/scrapcreator and family!

It has been said that the last one to get their docs will buy everyone a drink, but I think we should all buy Sandy a drink. I can't imagine going through what she has been through in the last month. My hat's off to anyone who goes through two hurricanes in one year and hasn't lost their sense of humor.

I like that idea!
