August 7, 2004 Magic...who's going?

[wendym]

Oh how I am glad not to be a parent! Most of my pupils are delighted to escape their home town and go away to University but then in Scotland you are speaking at most 150 miles from home! But of course I can't speak as I stayed at home!
Good luck.
Wendy
PS Doreen likes the sound of the jet skis!

My sister and I went to MGM on Saturday, since we could do what we wanted, we went to Millionaire. In our show I was the third one in the hotseat!!!!! I missed the cruise by four questions. But I do have the shirt, hat and lots of pins. I will now never forget the Letrera (or some other weird spelling) was the ancient name of Paris (I guess Munich)

 

[jeanneg]

Wow, that's amazing! How do you get into the hotseat? I've been there only once and I seemed to remember it was a fastest finger type thing, which I would never ever be able to do since I'm basically spastic. Maybe this time one of us will get to play it on the cruise! And maybe Sandy can do his Palo dinner that night so we can all be in the audience for the same show (hint, hint)

Hope you had a great trip.....I did not realize you were going to WDW so soon. Don't you also have a trip to CA coming up in the near future? That's what I call total immersion!


Wendy: I can relate to your experience. My college (NYU) was close enough to walk if I was too poor to come up with the 35-cent bus fare. I never knew what it was like to live in a dorm, which is probably why I hate sharing a bathroom to this day!

 

[gometros]

I can take a hint. It's usually on Wednesday nights, right? Or is that movie night?

I don't know if anyone so the detailed article about the summer 2005 cruise rumors, but they're saying the repositioning cruises may be 14 days and reasonably priced at around $2400 for a cat 6. If the dates work out, I'm going to try my damnest to convince Judy that we ought to do it.

Hellooooooo a 14-day Disney cruise would be the absolute best!!! Don't try to convince mommy, actually convince her; I'll help!

 

[wendym]

Denise - well done! That was wonderful to do so well! We got to be in the fastest finger seats once which was great fun.
We would love to do a repositioning cruise but the dates are no use with school. However I have registered interest for the July 9th cruise as that would get us back for Disneylands 50th b'day on 17th July.

[jeanneg]

Oh no, don't tell me you guys are making plans for 2005 already!
I am officially begging out. It's bad enough we weren't supposed to do the cruise again this year and I end up sailing not once but twice! The repositioning cruise is totally out of the question for us since there's no way John can be gone from his practice that long.
You guys are a terrible influence! Besides, I'm afraid the next cruise we do will be Alaska since hubby really wants to go there. I'm hoping that if I stall long enough we can go there on a Disney cruise.

I wasn't going to be booking another cruise either and will only do so if the price is right! I want to go to Disneyland in 2005 anyway and this would fit in - Mum loves the cruises but they are getting expensive. I am so lucky that I can go for a month at a time, although the credit cards say otherwise!
Also why do you think I stayed at home - no way was I staying in a dorm - I liked my home comforts too much! However if I had moved away to university it is likely I wouldn't have completed the course as my dad became ill and died then and I wouldn't have wanted to leave mum. So everything worked for the best me staying at home.

Hello all,

You all know Shleey and I from her posts, but I decided that I could keep track here at work! So this is Jay, Shelley's husband!

 

[gometros]

Uh oh, Jay found the DIS Boards! Watch out, now SShelley has to say nice things about him

Forget it Sara, I just noticed the rumored dates. If thesedates are correct, May 14th – May 28th (from Port Canaveral to Long Beach, CA) and Aug 20th – Sept 3rd, then there is no way we can do it, unless, of course, mommy and I go alone

WELL then I guess you can't do it, because there's NO WAY you're going on a 2-week Disney cruise without me!

 

[wendym]

Welcome Jay - glad to see somebody else looks at the boards during work!
Sandy - I think it would be a perfect second honeymoon for you and Judy!!

Actually friends, what I need to do is spell my wife's name correctly! After nearly 15 years i can't spell it!

We are so looking forward to the cruise after the AWFUL week we have had! Just another "event-filled" week in the Bennett house! There MUST be a light at the end of this "tunnel" our family is in!

On the up side, my Mom is doing very well after Dad's death. She goes out twice per week to the local Senior Citizen nutrition program with some of her friends. It's great for her socialization.

Kristofer and Courtney are doing well in school and involved in a play/writing workshop after school!

Corey is still hospitalized and will hopefully be moving to a long term residential program at a school in Upper Nyack, NY.

The cruise can't come soon enough for us!

See you all very soon!

Jay

 

[jeanneg]

you're on the way to getting "hooked"! Now if I could just get my husband to post once in awhile.......

 

[sbennett]

Ahoy!
Well since we downgraded to a catagory 11, they weren't able to give us a cabin number just GTY......until today. I had read all the posts about getting upgraded when you had GTY, guess that won't happen now, wish it would. Sure could use some positive things happening. I just checked to see if they had gotten my payment and I see we will be staying in cabin 7541. Seems to be a good location, midship, starboard side right near the midship stairs.
Come on AUGUST!!!

 

[gometros]

Did anyone notice that we are under 100 days?

 

[wendym]

Hi Shelley
Think we are going to be neighbours!! Cannot find my details at the moment but we are very close I am sure though we may be on the other side.
Now we are in double digits does that mean time goes faster?
Wendy

 

[wendym]

Just found the number on Sandy's cruise list - saves me hunting out the confirmation - we're in 7567 which is on the other side of the elevators.
Wendy

 

[sbennett]

Wendy,
That's cool.....maybe we'll be near you at dinner too like last year, that would be neat...can we request that we be near everyone?
