Good morning everyone. On-call tonight so up all night. Visions of the warm Pacific keeping me going. It's currently windy and 15 degrees here.

Good Morning.
I work in IT and I know about being oncall too,
My week dosnt start untill tomorrow as we have holiday today.


One week on, two weeks off is my cycle.
At one point it was always on, and never off


Hope its a easy on for you

 

[HeelMD]

Whew! Finally home. Three deliveries, two C-sections and one emergency surgery. 73 weeks seems like a long time now.

Talked with our friends today and we're thinking of flying in (from Charlotte, NC) on Friday...hitting Universal Studios Hollywood on Saturday and the boat on Sunday. I haven't been to L.A. in about 10 years, so any recommendations on hotels would be appreciated.

If we get enough people on this thread maybe we will have enough to book the back room as a group. Then you wouldnt have to go alone.

What is "the back room" ?? how many people would we need to book it?

Yikes! I ventured off to another cruise board and those people are not very friendly! They argue a lot and throw flames left and right! And they are not fond of Disney Cruise Line Scary
Glad to be back on the DIS boards!

How was everyone's Monday? I'm a pharmacy technician and we were open today and I had to laugh at the amount of phone calls, "Are you open today?"

Oh how I wanted to respond, "Nope, had the phones routed to my house so I could answer your cal!"

Good news is I leave for Las Vegas in 4 days !!

Hi all

Here is another trip report from the 2005 Mexican Rivera cruise,

Deb Wills of allears provided this one from the first cruise.

Picutues too

For anyone who is interested and is staying at DL after cruise, it would be cool if we could book a dessert buffet for fantasmic and get the balcony to ourselves!!

 

[eeyoregon]

So, depending on how many of us there ends up being, have we pondered the idea of renting a bus to transport us from DL to the port on cruise day? I had read about the 2005 folks doing it and it came out to under $10 per person. Or are most folks flying/driving in that day and going straight to the port?

 

[Ct_TiggerFan]

Right now I am thinking of renting a car, since I will be staying the week after in So Calif. This way I will have a car at port when we return and I can start the second half of my vaction.

Hello All. On call again today, but have a long weekend. Just saw the story on CNBC about DCL adding two new ships; one in 2011 and one 2012. They look almost identical to the Magic/Wonder but are two decks higher and about 6,000 more tons.

 

[LOLA2]

I am definately blocking 2011 and 2012 off in my schedule Yahoooooo

Hello All. On call again Af, but have a long weekend. Just saw the story on CNBC about DCL adding two new ships; one in 2011 and one 2012. They look almost identical to the Magic/Wonder but are two decks higher and about 6,000 more tons.

Its still my oncall week, I was woken up at 2 am, After fixing the issue, it took an 1 1/2 to fall back to sleep.4 more nights to go.

 

[vossjemi]

With the new ships, I wonder if people are already faxing in their IC requests? ha ha. Well, maybe not if DCL is now requiring deposits to take those IC requests. I can't wait to hear about the itineraries. In 2011, our kids will be 11, 9, and 5....and since we're not taking the younger one in 08...SHE DESERVES A DISNEY CRUISE TOO!!!

 

[Ct_TiggerFan]

I heard some people did try faxing requests to IC, and were told none were being accepted at this time. Only 2008 & 2009 requests being accepted.

2011 and 2012 is a long way off, Our dd Caitlin will be 14 in 2011.
Personally I hope one of the ships will do Alaska

Happy Saturday All

Heel! Isn't 8530 the Roy Disney Suite? I just saw that on Travel Channel. "Sweet!" as our son would say.

We are in the low rent district, room 7063.

 

[HeelMD]

It is. We stayed in the Walt last summer and it was fantastic.
