April 17, 2004 -- anyone going with us?

[ehtpnt]

Okay Rae-- I have a brilliant idea... Why don't you bring "Squirt" on the cruise? She could wear a really large Mumu and a floppy hat. Make up of course. And shoes like the ones Mickey and Minnie wear. If you need to see what I mean... check out the restaurant scene in the Emperors' New Groove. Squirt can only be better looking than the Lama/emperor...

Welcome MargaretMary-- we're glad you're coming too!

Welcome also to amtmommy--glad to have you aboard!

You will find the possible plans on page 15 of this thread. We hope you'll join us for anything that appeals to you.

Talk to you all later. My call waiting is muttering about the iron and shirts... wonder who that could be... Estelle

 

[amtmommy]

Thanks for the info about page 15ish on this post.


I am soooo excited, just got my docs yesterday!!!!

Now all I have to do is figure out how to lose 50 lbs by April 17.

 

[Luv2Dream]

Welcome MargaretMary! We are a fun bunch (if I do say so myself). Glad to have you join us.

amtmommy - I sent you a pm.

Update on the MIL: second surgery had complications. Lasted hours longer than normal. Then when she came out into ICU, she had an irregular heartbeat and they took her back in for catherization and had to put a stint in one of the bypasses. Then everything calmed down. I haven't received any word today so I'm assuming all is still well. It was a very LONG day and night yesterday.

It's going to be 60 tomorrow.....hey Janie, thanks for sending us this weather!

You are Welcome !

Hope MIL remains calm and that everything goes well.

Janie

"Llama" - love the "llama" - my favorite Disney movie!!!
Could just see her decked out with the hat and glasses! Love that visual! LOVE the MOVIE!

I have a new name for "Squirt" - it's Shadow Dancer. She's too dignified to be a "Squirt"!!!!

She's also being bred to the stallion, so I'm going to have two ladies enciente!! That will make me a 6 horse family in about a year!!!

Gosh, Rae, you've just got to stop "horsing" around.......

[ZebraStripes]

Got word from my TA last night that my docs are in his hands!!

Luv2Dream - prayers for your MIL.

Rae-Thanks!

 

[jeanie]

Hi everyone!


We finally got our docs!!!

I made the mistake of booking air through Disney and after reading the thread on why it's important to fly in the night before I am in a panic! I have been reading these boards for 3 years now so you think I would know better!

Anyway, we are flying Delta out of Logan and the flight is overbooked... We fly to Atlanta and then to MCO... Hopefully we will be on the ship by 1:30.... I am not planning on doing the "ressie scramble" so this does not bother me... it's the fear of getting bumped!!


Anyone else flying out of Logan? We have the 6:00 AM flight out.
Is there anyway to get seat assignements ahead of time on an overbooked flight???? Anyway to garantee that we don't get bumped???

Please no lectures on how stupid it is to fly in the day of the cruise, lesson learned! I will never make this mistake again...

 

[rae519]

Booking air by Disney will mean that they will wait for you.....the only advantage of that, certainly not the choice in flighttimes or cost!

This will be the first time that we are flying in the night before the cruise (other times we have either been on site, drove down or flew in the day of the flight). Looking forward to the experience and also the Happy Limo drive!

+++
I noticed that we do not have our first names on the master list - if you want to add yours please put it down on this thread and I will add it on. This is NOT mandatory, nor are any of the meets - if you want to meet fine, if not - life does go on!!!!

Hugs,
Rae

Hi Everyone!

I feel like the cruise is real now- Fedex just delivered our docs!

Now I have to start getting out the spring clothes, etc.. so packing will be the # 1 priority in a week or two!

Hope everyone else waiting gets their docs soon!

~ Linda

 

[dianthus]

Jeannie~ If you are Skymiles members, you can check in to any delta flight online up to 24 hrs. before & I'm pretty sure they issue boarding passes at that time. I would do that. Register for skymiles if you don't have an account now. That should help!

Perhaps if you call Delta & explain the situation, maybe they will notate your reservations to stop you from being bumped. I would also arrive a little earlier than normal just to be sure.

Good Luck & Pixie Dust coming your way!

~ Linda

 

[ehtpnt]

Rae-- you can put Phil and I on the list and the couple with us are Allan and Jen. Hopefully I spelled Allan right. My BILs' name is Alan and I keep getting the two of them mixed up.

Luv2Dream--Hope all is well with your MIL. We are all hoping for a good outcome.

Jeannie-- The best part is that they will wait for you. In fact I think that the Magic had to wait a month or so ago for a late flight. I seem to remember seeing that on the thread somewhere.

Linda-- being married to an engineer has some perks...not many mind you. I have my packing list on the computer from the last cruise. But not being the organized type I am completely redoing the whole thing. So the print out looks like total chaos. This is crossed out and this is added and on and on and on...

I will get organized, I shall write that 100 times while my family all laugh at me. Talk to you all later. Estelle

Is anyone staying at the Radisson before hand?

We are flying in from Boston Thursday night (the only direct flight we could get), on song airlines.
We are staying at the Radisson Thursday night (very late check in) and Friday.

I apologize if this was asked earlier in the thread.

 

[sheilacat]

Welcome Margaret Mary!
Glad to MIL is holding her own, Luv.
Thanks for the page 15 info, I'm gonna go check it out. Got my docs yesterday too. Guess that makes it real. Gonna preview our wardrobes this weekend. Yeah Yeah Yea!!!!!!
I can't wait to go!!!!!!

 

[ehtpnt]

amtmommy-- we will be checking into the Rad probably late Friday afternoon.
Luv2Dream hope everything is going well.

Does everyone have their docs? I took my packing list with me to work and worked on it while the laundry was going on. I have 4 pages of various notes and crossed out items. Packing could get really ugly.
Oops husband and daughter need the computer for various day care related problems. I'm outta here. Later. Estelle

 

[sheilacat]

Jeanie,
If you are leaving Logan on an over booked flight I'd be sure to get there early. Plant yourself at the gate and be first in line for when the desk opens.

Good Luck!
See you on board,
Sheila

 

[lsutigger2]

Rae: Thanks for the updated list.

lsutigger2 = Janie and Tom

It is three weeks from today! Plan to work on the packing/gathering phase today/tomorrow. Got a full weekend of events, but I'm sure I squeeze it in somewhere. DH needs lots of help!! LOL!

luv2dream: How is MIL doing?? hope all is well with her and she is on the road to recovery.

Later,
Janie
