Hey all!

Just thought I invite you all to read my pre-trip report on the trip reports forums. This means I have committed to actually writing a trip report!

Tania- my DD & I loved Journey to Atlantis, went on twice and got SOAKED!
We will definitely hit it again this trip!
How do you see the sale of Anheuser-Busch to Inbev affecting the parks?

Marcy

WOw! Very adventerous of you (I'm totally intimidated by the other writers too!). Great report so far! I LOVE the pics included!

Well my husband is really worrried about benefits and job losses as I think everyone else is at this point. From what has been going through the grape vine the leaders of InBev are known for cutting jobs and he doesn't want his to be outsourced. We know for sure they want to get rid of the parks, just don't know who they are going to!

This is very disheartning! The kids and I enjoy going to Sea World alot! I don't understand why company's do stuff like this... I think there should be law against OUTSOURCING!!! JMO

P.S. ONLY 35 more days until we cruise!!

Double post...oops!

 

[SILLYANDI]

It's Official-we have a list! I will not be adding anyone to the list from now on so feel free to purchase, make or steal for the numbers below...(please don't get caught if you choose the later!)

Magnets-14 families (one for each family)-there is one family that is magnets only and they are highlighted in red.
FE-27 adults (includes a 19 year old FYI) and 20 kids.
Your assigned deliver day is in the column left of your name. The "done" column is there for you to check off each room as you deliver there. You can print this list out yourself (wait until grumpy gramps and chartanleo get rooms assigned) but I will also deliver a copy with a map to the rooms on Sat when I do the first delivery.
Please have your FE hanging before the muster at 4:30 so that I can deliver before dinner. For those of you who I have made FE's for I will make arrangements to get it to you before then.

If there are any questions you know where to find me!

Hey Andrea! Not to be picky or anything, but our last name is Weitzel, on the spreadsheet it looks like Dweitzel, probably because of my screen name. Thanks for putting the list together, as DD4 would say, "you rocked the house!"

 

[PenskeSth1]

Andrea I just wanted to thank you for all the effort you put into organizing the exchanges! I know we all appreciate it.

Geez, so picky. First Michele wants her name spelled right now you. I'm doing pretty good for being selectively dislexic!
do you find it at all strange that I can spell grumpy gramps' name fine though? PRZYBOJEWSKI... yowza!

PS (It's fixed...sorry )

No problem...
WHO IS GOING TO ORGANIZE A MEET????

ANYONE...BUELLER...

(I figured if I shouted someone would hear my desperate plea and step up!)

I looked at other threads and found some ideas for meets-a lunch meet on an at sea day, meet on deck 10 for the sailaway party, meet on deck 10 for the pirate party, meet in the foyer for a picture, meet on CC for a pic with the sandmen/snowman things...

I think meeting early would be good for the kids. Maybe at a family activity on the first night or morning? Going to look at my navigators now...
I AM NOT PLANNING THIS TOO! I'M NOT, I'M NOT!
I nominate Mandy (or Michele, or Marcy, or GG, or anyone else BUT ME!)



ALRIGHT, since you twisted my arm...
I will be at the pool at 2:30 on embarkation day. Anyone who wants to meet me and make it official can. I will be the one laying in a lounge chair with a frosty cold beverage and a huge smile on my face!

 

[SILLYANDI]

Too much caffeine at work today (and too much websurfing)

Michele we are at the same hotel before the cruise, what time are you getting in and do you have a plan yet?

We should be to the hotel by 6 and I think we're gonna grab a quick bite to eat then I'm gonna head over to Walmart to pick up bottled water, beer, & a few other necessities that I don't want to pack all the way from Cali...

We're in. I don't know what other planning is required for a meet but I can bring a camera if we want a photo? We'll look into what other groups have done and throw any ideas for general flaming and ridicule.

Save a lounge and a drink for me, we will be there. We actually hope to be at the terminal within an hour of them opening! Just listen for the screaming brats, look for the man who is jonesing for a cigarette and the nervous wreck of a mother lol
Maybe I should make Clampett shirts for us to wear lol

We leave for WDW/cruise soon. I am so excited!

I totally agree! Thank you!

Today is monday. I have 27 days left as a free man, and yesterday i was kicked out of my own house, forced to take my three dogs to go watch football and drink beer alone at another home so My lovely other half could have a bridal shower. /rant

ps. the solitary time was awesome

Awww. Enjoy your solitary time! That is the only thing DH ever complained about was loss of that. Then we had kids and I am now the one complaining!

 

[CKB3]

I stay away from kids. Except for the ones i can return at the end of the day!
