April 29, 2012 ~ Aloha! ~ Wonder to Hawaii- who is with me? pt2

[Frodo UK]

We did have a small refund some weeks ago but thought it was to do with the TA cruise leaving on Saturday.

Yes, the cruise leaves on Saturday. We will miss all those who were on it last year. It won't be the same and some of you are old friends now so we will miss you all the more.

We fly over to Barcelona on Thursday which is later than I wanted but the cheapoair from the local airport doesn't fly there on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Monday would have been too long in Barcelona. I hope all the baggage arrives with us though. I am panicking about that.

Have a great time, hope we will see you on the other side. Do we need pack any baggage spares?

Thanks Alan for the heads up on SW. We will be flying out of Orlando to LA. I was hoping they would open sooner. I like to have things planned way ahead of time but I guess I will have to be patient. SW has always been very helping providing my husband who has leg problems with a wheel chair through the airport. He is 6'3 and is able to get the bulkhead most of the time because he has more leg room there.

Well thanks for the paticence.(I hope I spelled that right.) There is a lot going on as I am sure you know by know.

I currently have a message on the top of my screen:

Anyone else using Internet Explorer?
Are you getting this message?
Could it be my computer is having heart failure? (well, I know it is dying, but was hoping it could last longer..... )

I was catching up with the facebook page for our cruise and one of the gals Jan Easterly has been asking everyone to put their real name and Dis name down and has been keeping a list. Thought it could be useful for some and the FE gifts they are working on. So here it is as of today--

OH, MY I'D BETTER JOIN!

Jan - Could you please add us to the list? Thanks

ValBob89= Valerie & Bob Vanderheiden

The post office has disney-Pixar Forever stamps on sale. Lightning and Mater in Cars, Remy & Linguini in Ratatouille, WALL.E, Buzz Lightyear and Dug and Carl from UP. Cute and love that they are Forever Stamps.

Now then, I could have sent you a bag down to take for us couldn't I. But then you would have had to lie to the security folk.

Got you! Will add you to the list over on Facebook too.
I worked the summer I got married at VANDERHEIDEN HALL in Troy, NY--originally an orphanage and at that time a home for kids who had been removed from their homes by the court while awaiting final determination. I was the life guard and fill in Junior Girls counselor.

Something just hit me. The Wonder is off to Drydock today. Here is hoping for some really cool changes.

Any idea if there is a webcam?

Oh, how I wish we were on this cruise w/you again! Last year's was so lovely and we have so many great memories from it. I hope the seas are as calm as last year. Don't want you feeding the fishes .

Well, Hawaiian Cruisers--looks like I am now in charge of a list. Wish I had a post on page one to keep it up to date....maybe when we start our next thread I can snag an early post. (As I said before, I did not start this, AuntLynne did. But she has canceled and I will carry on. The list on Facebook is something each one of us can add to, but when a few people had trouble I was able to get it to work, so I guess it is now my list.)

Please check the list here and let me know if your entry is spelled wrong or alphabetized wrong. Also let me know if you know of someone who has canceled for sure. We want this to be a double list--one list with given name first and one with DIS name first.

Another idea to help us learn each other's names is to sign off each post or put our given name in the signature section. Then those who remember (I forget) to check the posting DIS name will connect it more readily to the given name at the end of each post.

Jan JLSE50
(I think I will put both names as a signature)

Thanks for doing this, Jan. My info is fine. And I've always had my first name in my siggie; it helps me think of the person behind the DIS name.

Ooooo, any of you out there have any kind of scoops on what they'll be doing?

 

[Frodo UK]

Now then, I could have sent you a bag down to take for us couldn't I. But then you would have had to lie to the security folk.

"Did you pack all your bags yourself, sir?", "Um, yes all but the Mickey bag, sealed with pixie dust"

 

[aan1701]

Ooooo, any of you out there have any kind of scoops on what they'll be doing?

Well one of the rumors are that they are making Beach Blanket more enclosed. That seems to be the strongest one. Some are saying they are hearing about the virtual portholes. I hope that one is not true. I am not a fan of these as they have drasicly raised the prices of inside rooms on the new ships. In some cases it is cheeper to get a real window than a inside.

 

[aan1701]

Just wanted to share I got our cruise docs today for our Oct 8 eastern. A lot of people are now going nuts they got there docs. I don't know. It used to be a big deal before on line check in. Here is what I posted. it used to be a much bigger deal before online check in. It used to come with the tags and then all the stuff you had to fill out. Now it just comes with the tags and you don't really need those because the porters or bell men at WDW have them. I guess for me it now feels reall when I check in online and print the forms.

Am I wrong?

Jan,

Please add myself and DW to the list. We are not part of the FB group yet, as Candida doesn't know about this cruise yet. She spends more time on FB and is likely to findout on there. While she does have a DIS name she doesn't venture over here.

pilk = Jon
Photographer Goofy = Candida
Thanks,
Jon

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

Those are kinda the thing of the past unless oil comes down. As for one of the people from tge show, I am taking one of them and her new Husband to WDW for Food and Wine in just 24 days for a week using my DVC points. It is going to be a really fun trip.

How KEWL is that.....have fun....I get to visit Mickey at WDW in 4 short days...to begin 14 glorious days of free dining!!!!!!!!

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

Jan...I seem to be included in the Dis Name = Real Name list but I'm omitted from the Real Name = Dis Name list.....

Real Name = Dis Name
Elaine = Mickey&JoshNut

Thanks for keeping this list updated.

Not wrong--
I knew it was different but had not analyzed why. Your assessment fits my experience. Thanks!

Seems real to me when I am packed and on my way to the airport!
