Oh well, we were hoping for another Fool. Come visit us anytime. We don't mind at all.

Of course we will expect that you will be back here after your cruise to tell us ALL about it!

I actually crossed paths with Grumbo twice - once when he was my kindergarten teacher, and once when I did a brief stint as a parole officer (he was an exemplary parolee).

Actually the Kindergarten teacher part is true. Now remember Jazz IS older than I am, I was his teacher, so you can see that Jazz's intellectual portion of his brain, not to mention his reality portion , has some developing to do.

btw please will you guys not tell him that is Tom Cruise's photo. The doctor at the home says it is good for him to fantasize about something like this, as opposed to those dark fantasies that got him committed originally. Thanks.,

OH and I did catch Jazz's stint as a Jazz professional. It was on the Bass fiddle and I have a photo I took

Cheers,
Grumbo

Just heard back from DU:

Disney reports there is no availability in Category 6 or any categories
higher on your sail date. The Cast Member I spoke with said that some
staterooms had opened earlier in the week with just double occupancy, but
those are now sold out as well.

I am sure this frustrate you, doesn't it Kathy?? Cann't figure DCL myself esp when my parents were on the waitlist for the SPH since 1st day and they ended up giving it to someone else!! Go figure!! probablry can get more $$ that way!!

Well, i guess you can either bug em more or lay low for now...I am sure there will be cancellations at the 90 day mark!!

Is DU going to keep trying??

 

[kpgclark]

It does bug me and I've also been on the waitlist for a SPH since the beginning. I e-mailed Disney a few weeks ago about them giving the rooms to new reservations. They said they go over the waitlist manually and only once per day. Very frustrating. I doubt DU will check on rooms for me. I wish I could call Disney directly since DU seems to be slow and miss the openings.

Even though we won't be joining "The Ship of Fools" 14 days cruise, my family will be meeting up with some of you in California before you sail away. We just made our ressies today for 2 nights at HoJo's in Anaheim (August 14-15), thanks to Izzinmac and the discount code, followed by 5 nights at the Paradise Pier Hotel (August 16-20) next to Disney's California Adventure, using our DVC points.

I guess I'm still "1/2 of a fool" LOL!!!

Hello Everyone,

We hope this post finds everyone doing well and that your new year got off to a good start. Lynda and I have been doing the best we can and made it through the holidays though it was hard.
I know that some of you were wondering if we were still going on the cruise or not. We have thought long and hard about this, and have done alot of back and forth on our decision. The thing that finally helped decide what to do happened on New Years Day. Lynda and I went shopping at a local mall that has a Disney store in it. We went inside and once in, Lynda found it very hard to be there, and I started to cry. It was then we realized that we couldn't go on the cruise just now. We have cancelled our ressie with Disney and HoJo's.
We know that it will take sometime, but with the grace of God, and support of our friends, all of you, we'll be able to do it another time.
Thank all of you for your support, & prayers through this time, and as always, God bless you all

Lynda & Mike

Truly sorry we won't get to meet on this cruise but hopefully in the future, but completely understand.

Take care both of you,

Grahame

Lynda & Mike - Please take care and remember that we are thinking of you. Hopefully we'll meet up another time.

[Bmwdsny]

Lynda and Mike,
I completely understood. It has been very tough and will be tough for awhile yet. Please take care of yourselves and perhaps in the future, you will be comfortable enough to take the cruise again. Your family is forever in memory in my thoughts and prayers.

Melinda

Lynda and Mike:

As others have said, we completely understand your decision. Please continue taking care of each other, David, and your daughters. You will remain in our thoughts and prayers as part of our "cruise family".
