OOHHH, I misunderstood. I thought you were just going to a resort for the day. I didn't know you had a package deal. You are so so so right about that -- DCL and WDW WILL NOT work together. We have had more problems over the years trying to coordinate things -- it's almost like they don't want to acknowledge that the other exist. It's kind of like my husband working at Campbell Soup -- even though they own Pepperidge Farm, PF doesn't like to have their name associated with Campbell Soup LOL....

Sorry Jenny, no rain heah (yet)! And I am happy to say that I had a successful basement box raid. Found all my old lanyards and bottle straps, my personal Mickey fan, a few more Thank goodness DH isn't due home till tomorrow and I can get it all packed neatly before he arrives.
Kmiles, I forgot, yes it was Cingular that bought out AT&T Wireless. THe competiton is getting less and less.

I don't really mind the rain (at least until the temperature drops and it turns to ice). I'm actually glad it's raining....it's better than the alternative - snow. My mom said it's snowing hard in Northwestern Vermont. I told her to keep it

Yummmmm!!! Goldfish! I have a question...You may not know the answer, but I'll give it a shot anyway...back in June 1996 we flew on Continental airlines (not really important, but I thought I'd put that in incase it was) and for the in flight snack they gave out goldfish, but they weren't your usual cheddar cheese ones - they were vanilla flavored and more like a sugar cookie than a cracker. Do you (or your husband) know what I'm talking about or am I a deranged lunatic (THAT'S A RHETORICAL QUESTION)?
Since I'm a deranged lunatic.....
HOW TO KEEP A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY
1) At lunch time, sit in your parked car and point a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.
2) Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice)
3) Insist that your e mail address is: Xena-goddess-of-fire@companyname.com or Elvis-the-King@companyname.com.
4) Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
5) Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair dancing.
6) Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "IN."
7) Develop an unnatural fear of staplers.
8) Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
9) In the memo field of all your checks, write 'for sexual favors.'
10) Reply to everything someone says with, "That's what you think."
11) Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy."
12) Adjust the tint on your monitor so that the brightness level lights up the entire work area. Insist to others that you like it that way.
13) Don t use any punctuation
14) As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
15) Ask people what sex they are.
16) Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."
17) Sing Along at the opera.
18) Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.
19) Find out where your boss shops and buy exactly the same outfits. Wear them one day after your boss does. (This is especially effective if your boss is the opposite gender.)
20) Send e-mail to the rest of the company to tell them what you're doing. For example: If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom.
21) Put mosquito netting around your cubicle.
22) Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.
23) Call 911 and ask if 911 is for emergencies.
24) Call the psychic hotline and just say, "Guess"
25) Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard.
26) When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won!", "I Won!" "3rd time this week!!!"
27) When leaving the Zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling "Run for your lives, they're loose!"
28) Tell your boss, "It's not the voices in my head that bother me, its the voices in your head that do."
29) Tell your children over dinner. "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."
30) Every time you see a broom yell "Honey, your mother is here."

No, you're not a lunatic. According to DH, they were trying out the goldfish shape as a trial cookie line. My DH thinks it was just a temporary item that was being test-marketed on airlines, etc.

Tell your DH that I need a case or 10 of these! They sound devine!
OK, I just got the final pricing worked out for the lanyards. With shipping and art set up charge the final price will be $2.25 each. (I forgot those 2 important things before). I will still be ordering them close to the cruise, and I will have to set up a bank account so that y'all can pay me. THe only thing I need to do now is go to the PO and get the postage rate for shiopping back to you. Details to follow!

Marsha has twins and they're tatooed and have piercings.
Nancy needs corrective lenses.
Tracy had hers installed permanently.
Donna and Melinda like beer scented cologne.
Melinda's bed is a trampoline.
Dan wears his g-string backwards.
Grumbo has an ignore button in chat room.
Bob (izzi) is still not feeling well.
Melinda slurs her typing when she drinks.
Tracy has a bottle of MadDog 20/20 in her wine cellar.
Marsha likes to be referred to as 'Mistress'
Travis has a goldfinger.
Jason has the midas touch.
Scott's the quiet one.
Robin has envy issues.
Jazz sleeps with his car more then his wife.
Denise doesn't mind either.
Barbara lives near Donna.
Arlene has issues with her iron.
Arlene lives 20 minutes from Janet.
Renee's onboard neighbor has organized a party in her cabin.
Grumbo's door will be the one with 1000's of Mickey magnets.
Mark tries to keep the chat on a clean footing.
These are just some of the things you'll learn by coming over to the chat site...Mark

Could those folks who have requested bus service to MCO after the cruise PM me their departing airline and departure times. The airline info is to see which side of the airport you'll need to be dropped off at and the time is to coordinate the bus leaving the port and to make sure that those with earlier departures leave as early as possible.
Those intending to continue their already long vacation plans might want to take the bus to MCO for a car rental. The rates to pick-up and return to MCO is about 1/2 the cost of rentals from the port and dropping off at MCO.

Possible Bus To MCO after cruise-Update
Are there any more people interested yet?? Our total so far is 87, and there is room for 55 per bus or 110 passengers in total.
If we use Mears Transportation and manage to fill the bus (capacity 55) the final cost will be $7.29 per person. If bus leaves the Port by 10:00am or so, it should put us at Orlando Airport by 11:00am. Cost for bus is 401.25 and tip is included as per my contact. Departing Airline is needed to make sure you are dropped off at correct side of terminal.
Some people have mentioned the bus times seem a little late. We can make our pick up time anytime we want and if we have 2 buses they can have different pick up times. Those with earlier flights will be put onto the earlier bus regardless of which bus you are now set for.

Jenny, I loved your level of insanity post. I think that number one is great. I might just have to try that one. lol.
Thanks for the curacao liquor info. Don't think it is for me. I am more into strawberries as in daiquiris or maragaritas and Kahlua drinks. Ohhh, has anyone tried the BBC drink on board. Wow, they are to die for!
Bonnie, I tired your Cosmo. Definitely not for me!
