Bound for Barcelona - April 10, 2010 EB TA - Part 4

[auntlynne]

I always thought we cheered for our own team first, but if they don't make it to the next level in national competition, we root for another SEC team, even if it's Georgia, Florida or Alabama. Can't quite get behind those TN Volunteers, though.

 

[scottjm]

Got our ME stuff today, or at least the one from the airport back to WDW after the cruise. Now I want to find out where the one from WDW to the ship, before the cruise is!

All of this just makes it seem as close as it is really getting!

Isn't Kristi bound2travel a librarian ? Are we being surrounded by them? (My brother is a librarian in Massachusetts. I just went to WDW with him while he attended a users' group meeting for library software). They had dinner on the Streets of America in Disney's Hollywood Studios. The DJ asked them to shout out where they were from. Silence. I went up to him and suggested he might ask them to whisper where they were from. He had no idea that the audience was librarians and their families.

Yes, I am a librarian. I've worked in school libraries and public libraries. I only have 19 years of experience and I did start from birth

I went to Florida State (GO NOLES) - but I just can't root for Miami nor the slimy lizards (Florida). I also can't get behind TN.

I am SO looking forward to meeting you all. I started my library career in 8th grade too.

FINALLY got caught back up. I haven't had time to read the boards since early Monday or something. It has been a week and I'm exhausted. One last mri tomorrow. You should see the bruise from the shot they gave me on Tuesday! Not sure where they are going to stick me tomorrow as I have a bruise on both arms. One is greatly healed from last Friday.

Since people have been noticing upgrade offers online, I'll have to go check.

At least I should get my docs today or tomorrow as they finally got to my TA last week.

Natalie WOW I did not know we had so many librarians onboard.... One of my bestest friends is one...I know I liked you guys !
On the google spreadsheet (link on page one of this thread) there is a cougar sheet.... you can join the "cougar in training" club with disneyheather

Sometimes, I think my TA is holding onto my cruise docs....she is a little in a huff ever since I started relaying disboard info to her ...last week when I picked up my euros and stoppoed by her desk to see if my docs come in because many of you were getting docs....she said in a slightly annoyed voice "I TOLD you they would be coming about 21 days before the cruise" She is not a happy kinda gal to begin with...hmmmm I may switch my AAA TA for the next one.

FE List question

There are 53 cabins on the first page of this thread....listed as FE group 1 (by Michelle2)
There are only 47 spaces filled in on the FE list 1 on the google spreadsheet...did some folks not put their info on the spreadsheet? Are we missing some cabins on the google spreadsheet?

I want to make sure I have all of those in FE1 correct... Help?

Joi, I'm going by the list on page 1, for that very same reason. How about the rest of you?

As a North Carolina Tarheel fan (and former student) I root for UNC and then the other ACC teams but it is always extremely difficult for me to ever root for DOOK!

I am also going by page 1.

[slcmom]

Although, I understand that 'friends of Michelle2' from page 1 = freidyfamily on the spreadsheets. And there are probably other clarifications as well contained on the spreadsheets.

This is not good I don't leave for 3 more weeks and I'm already in vacation mode at work...

I need to be working at work not looking at the DIS boards and planning what I still need to buy and pack.

Must get some work done, must get some work done

Of course it also doesn't help that if finally got sunny this week and today is my Friday.

 

[kcashner]

I was hoping that the new slide at Castaway would be open for our visit and IT WAS OPEN FOR THE WONDER SAILING THAT GOT BACK TODAY!

Oh, and today I ordered my Euros. They will be in tomorrow for pick up.

Airport to WDW IS Magical Express...it comes separately. WDW to the ship is DCL transfers--that is in your cruise documents.

I just saw that on the regular boards. How awesome is it that it'll be open for us & we get to see the new Villains show.

 

[Happy Goofy]

I have 45 names and am missing room numbers for - Friends of Michelle and of course Princess Monkey. There were two names that are not on the list anymore.-Marren and Janell.carraso. Does anyone know about them. I too do not want to leave anyone out.

I hope everyone put their new cabin numbers on the list.They seem to change everyday.

I just changed my again. We still do not have our docs.

 

[emma'smom]

They will all be open on Good Friday and on Saturday. Easter Sunday is the only day where you might find things closed.

What is the "Rainforest Room"? Is it something you have to book onboard? Couldn't find anything on-line. Are there different packages i.e. 1/2 day, full day, week, entire trip?

Question for our U.S. DISers. We thought we'd take a quick U.S. shopping trip before the cruise but the only weekend we have available is Easter (good thing Im a last minute packer ). Is Good Friday a holiday in New York State? Would stores be open Sat and/or Sun?

Okay, that was way more than "a couple" of questions.

Thanks!
Eleasa

 

[emma'smom]

There's also an Old Navy, a Target, and good old-fashioned mall!

Good point!

We'd be going to Watertown. Clothing and/or department stores. I know there is a Kohl's, k-Mart and Fashion Bug at least.
