flagalintn- ( did I get that right??) I have an 8yr old son who thinks he is ready to go try out for the atlanta braves....we need to try to introduce them at the club. Won't it be nice to get over jet lag on a cruise! See you 2 wks from today!

 

[eye R.N.]

Great I won't be the only one with a beaded dress. You are my hero.

Last year we used our card in Mexico in a non Disney recommended shop. Several weeks later we got a call from the company. Someone was charging dinner and car parts on our number. The next statement I found about $500 worth of other charges that got through before they caught it.

They issued a new card but this time I'm not taking chances.

I'll pick up some extra Mickey heads at home depot, so anyone who wants can make name tags.

Have fun in Germany.

Tell Mum sorry about mission space. Can't wait to see you.

Hey Smahoney6-We definetly have to hook our kids up. My son is obsessed with Baseball. Playing it, watching it and spending all his communion money on buying baseball cards!! Hopefully the boys can all meet at the dismeet.

Welcome Cynthia,
Glad to have you join the group! Do you know your cabin #? Early or late dining? We're also doing the 5 Star St John excursion.....it will be nice having people we "know" on the trip with us!
MBFergie: Please come and join us on Deck 10 even if it's only for a few minutes....at least this way we can put names to faces. Then if your kids want you to be on Deck 9 for all the action it's perfectly fine.
Shelley: that place in Burlington where you get the china/crystal is the same one we pass on the way to my daughter's home. I have a card from them and I can either bring it to the cruise or fax it to you. Just let me know which you prefer.

Finally got my computer back from the shop....it's so good to have it back!

We had the first showing of our home today. Maybe it was a good thing I had no computer last week......it enabled me to clean house with a vengance! We have a few people that are interested in seeing it before we list and if that doesn't result in anything we'll sign with a realtor before we leave. This way they can show it all they want while we're away. Selling a home is never pleasant....I've done nothing but scream at my kids all week and they' must surely hate me with a passion right now. I definitely need this cruise!

Less than 2 weeks to go!

Anybody else have problems getting on disboards yesterday and today?

Went to the Neurosurgeon today....I'm going for my Third ESI
(Epidural Steroid Injection) Wednesday morning at 7am. The doctor wants me to be the best I can for the cruise, and since I'm still having slight pain and diminished nerve response in my left leg, he feels this will help. He also wants me to walk every hour during the drive down, at least around the van a couple of times so I'm not sitting for hours on end (my end!)
Courtney & I are getting our hair done on Thursday and I'm getting my nails done so we're all set to go.

Shelley

Shelley: When will you be leaving?
Denise: what about you?
Anybody else staying at the Ron Jon resort?

 

[sbennett]

We're leaving Sunday right after Jay's Mass ends....around 1opm. We'll probably drive until about 9 or 10pm depending on weather and traffic and how my back feels.
We're staying at the Radisson again this year..but will meet you all at Grills on Friday around 6:30ish. Are we going to try to make reservations or just wing it. We plan on going to Kennedy Space Center on Friday with the kids after having left WDW that morning.

 

[EPCOTgrl1]

we are leaving Aug. 4th! that is a wednesday after my mom and dad get off of work. That will leave my sister and i to get all the odds and ends done that day! well will get to florida sometime on the 5th. and then grills on the 6th! o man 7 more days till we leave!

 

[jeanneg]

Chelsea: your mom said something about you and your dad going to Epcot and maybe not getting back in time for Grills. If we schedule it for around 6:30, will that work? We'll be 6, Shelley,4, Wendy, 2 and 4(?) for you guys. That makes 16 not counting any new people who would like to join us. I haven't been there before so i'm not familiar with the set-up or if they even take reservations, but I can certainly call and let them know we are coming. Is anybody else interested?
Shelley: Kennedy Space Center is awesome....and you can even do lunch at Dixie Crossings which is located in Titusville (but save room for Grills later on!)

Denise and Andy: meet you by the pool on Thursday evening....I already have the wine chilling!

 

[sbennett]

Last time Jay & I were at Kennedy it was BC (before children) so it's been 11 years. Hopefully they've made some improvements. We were a little disappointed...we took the bus tour, and it was hot the AC wasn't working right and it kept dripping on us from the ceiling of the bus. I don't remember them having the IMAX theatre then. Thought the kids would enjoy it, seeing things upclose.
Had my steriod injection this morning in my spine....ouch! It hurts a little more than it has in the past post-injection. But he says I should feel like I'm 18 again for the trip.....look out!!!

 

[EPCOTgrl1]

We will leave the park so we can be to dinner by 6:30. It isnt a problem. I am just going there to say Hi to everyone! and to catch up with everyone cause a lot has happened since the last time i have been there. and my dad is going cause he doesnt want me to drive up there alone!

 

[jeanneg]

OK, I will call next week and ask them to set aside a table/ section for 16 at 6:30. If anyone else is interested, let me know.

 

[luv2boys]

Hey everyone,

I'm back. Sure did miss you guys. Never met the two or three people I talked to on the boards.

The three day did not go by as fast as I thought that it would. However, I noticed a huge difference in service and friendliness of the crew. Our wait staff in the restaurants were not very good. We were spoiled last year with the best.

Sandy- I did not find the pins. I looked and asked everywhere and they were all sold out. Might want to have someone check on the Magic. I talked to someone on Castaway Cay who knew Andrea and Zorn. They have both left the ship and are expanding their stores that they own. Sandor is still on the Magic.

 

[sbennett]

welcome back Amy & Family ....sorry you didn't meet up with people from the boards and that the servers weren't as good as they should have been....hope you had a great time anyway.
But then again how can you not have a good time with Disney!

 

[gometros]

He told me that he may go back to Hungary and focus on their business. Good for them.

Sorry about your servers, but as Shelley said, I hope the rest of the cruise was wonderful. I'm curious how it was after doing the 7-day.

Elana called me from home and said that there was a package from Wendy mailed from Orlando. What did she do now!

I'm a disaster. I have this bad habit of getting some kind of stupid injury right before we go on vacation. NNow, I know we weren't going this time, but somehow my jinx didn't get the message. Last week I got mad at a vending machine that wouldn't release the item I was buying and I tried to body-check it jar it loose. I guess I hit it too hard, cause I felt something pop. It started really bothering me on Tuesday, so I went to the orthopedist. He said a fractured a rib. Like I said, I'm a disaster!

 

[sbennett]

Sandy...Sandy.....Sandy.....
What can we say? Hope you mend quickly! So what did you get from Wendy? Cadbury chocolate?

 

[eye R.N.]

My to do list isn't getting shorter, the more I do, the more I remember I need to do. LOL I am brining two bottles of wine, one for Ron Jon's and one for the ship, once the vacation starts I will drain them both!!!

Sandy, did you at least get your snack? Seriously I hope it heals quickly.

Shelley, have a safe trip. If you need to stop between baltimore and washington you can always hang out here. Someone will always be home between now and the time we leave. Andy is offically on vacation now. I have to wait till tues.

Back to my to do list. Safe journey to all. I can't wait to meet both old and new friends.
