Disney Dream ~ September 15, 2011

Well, I just accepted a job in Alaska. We will be moving in 10 short weeks. Now I will have to figure out how to get back south for our planned vacation. I hope I don't have to cancel. My husband is trying very hard to get a job with Alaska Airlines so that we won't have to worry about the cost of the flight. Fingers crossed.

Hey Princesskayla congratulations on your new job!!!!:cool1::thumbsup2:thumbsup2:thumbsup2:banana: We all will keep our fingers crossed for you and your DH that he will be able to get that job with Alaska Airlines!!! (I'll cross my fingers, toes..............but not my eyes.................last time I did that I almost didn't get them uncrossed!!!! Ain't doin' that again!!!!!:sad2:

I want to ask all of you if you know of a nice jewelry shop on Nassau where DW and I can get new wedding bands.:confused3 Since we have been excercising and have lost some weight our old ones don't fit us as well.

Congrats on the weight loss! Why dont you just take your cuurent wedding bands to a local jeweler to have them re-sized? Unless you REALLY want to buy new wedding bands.

PS. I have heard good things about Diamond International. Also when you get on the ship there is a desk that specializes in all the duty free shopping so they will be able to give you some great tips too! :thumbsup2
 
Hello everyone! I've been reading along just busy busy and not posting. Great to hear the upcoming nuptial excitement, new jobs/adventures ahead, and weight loss (<--jealous on that one..LOL). Lotsa good stuff going on. And we're under 180 days til it's cruise time! Yaaaayyy!!!! :woohoo:

I made our WDW ADRs for the pre-cruise portion of our trip on Tuesday. Today we got some per diem checks in the mail for the hubby so I quickly ran those up to the credit union, made a big payment to Discover Card, and paid the balance of our cruise off so I could get the whole 5% cash back they have for travel this month. Woot!!! :yay: I feel like the cruise is official now that it's paid in full!!!! Tuesday I'll be able to make our WDW ADRs for the post-cruise portion of our vacation. Exciting time right now!!!! :banana:

Hope everything is going well for everyone!

Thanks Luckymomoftwo. I have heard good things about Diamonds Int'l also. We thought we would get a new look in our wedding bands to go along with our new weight loss look. When we turn sideways you can't even see us except for the clunky looking wedding bands we are wearing!!!:lmao::rotfl2::rotfl::lmao:

How exciting for you both! I wish DH & I could drop some weight...we just have a real problem with this thing called "WILL POWER". :headache:

About ten years ago all of my jewelry went missing. I'm pretty sure my brother's evil (someday to be ex-) wife stole it and pawned it. But I have no proof. It included my wedding ring, engagement ring, star sapphire ring that my mom gave me for Christmas, tanzanite ring I got on a Disney cruise, and a Winnie the Pooh watch from the Disney store. All of it GONE! So, on our next Disney cruise DH saved up money and surprised me by buying me a new ring. I can't remember where we bought it (DUH!) but I had it appraised here at a JB Jewelers when we got home and it appraised a couple hundred more than what we paid for it. So, I was happy with it (except that it wasn't my original wedding set that I loved!)


Well...gotta run! We're heading over to Illinois today to meet up with a friend from here on the DISboards!! :thumbsup2

WOO HOO for you to make a big payment on the Discover Card! We are on a strict budget "Diet" to pay off all the credit cards by Summer. I think we are going to make it!!!!! :thumbsup2

Isn't it super exciting to make ADR's?! It's one step closer to actually being there!!!!

Oh yeah, nothing like having "empty" credit cards. Yay for y'all, too! :cool1:

Me, too. Last week when I made the ADRs for the pre-cruise days at WDW I hit a snag. I think maybe there's still some glitches with the online system. I was able to make a reservation for our arrival day which was the 180 day mark. Then I made a reservation for the next day but had to put my room confirmation # in to do it because that was 181 days out. No problem. I had 2 more ADRs I wanted to make for the next 2 days, 1 the day before the cruise & 1 early-early on embarkation day, but the system wouldn't allow me to do it. I must've entered my confirmation # 4 or 5 times. It just wouldn't allow me to book it. I know the confirmation number is valid. It let me book an ADR at 181 days. So I ended up calling WDW-DINE to finish the other 2 ADRs which the CM had no problems booking with my confirmation #. Strange. :confused3 I'm crossing my fingers that I can get the next set done on my own without these issues. I haaaaate calling in anymore.

I got everything we wanted the first go around. I hope my good luck holds out for the next bunch. Good vibes for you, too, to get all the ADRs you want! :goodvibes

Congrats on getting those ol' pesky credit cards paid off. It looks like it's going to take DW and I a wee bit longer then you to pay ours off.

You know I hadn't even given ADR's a thought until you mentioned them on here. DW and I are staying at AKL for a couple of days before the cruise. I better get on there and make our ADR's also. Thanks for mentioning it. (Guess the ol' brain just ain't functioning as well there days! I am sem-retired you know!!!):lmao::lmao::rotfl2::rotfl: Better get on over to Disney's website and make our ADR's. Talk to ya'll again real soon!!!:woohoo:
 
I hope everyone is having a good day today. I have to go to my dr. appointment here in a few minutes. Nothing wrong just a check-up. But you know, getting older is a hoot. You have a dr. for this, and a dr. for that.........good thing I'm retired or I might get fired for missing too much work!!!:lmao::rotfl2::rotfl: Well ya'll have a great day today. Talk to you again real soon.:banana:
 
Spring seemingly arrived early for us, a few days ago. But yesterday we had a ton of snow fall!! Last night, I heard a radio DJ compare it to when a guy breaks up with a girlfriend, "You know, how she show's up just one last time, and then goes away"....... ya, well maybe. When I broke up with a guy, I NEVER went back for one last time after that. :)

Still counting down the days and SOOOOO wanting to tell my son about this trip....... Trying to keep it a secret this time, is getting SO DIFFICULT to do!
Every time I look at him, I almost spill the beans.......... How do I hold out till his birthday in July?
 
Hi everyone,
Been really busy - working one full time and two part time jobs will do that to a person I guess. But gotta pay for a wedding. :)

Been putting off making my ressies for post cruise cause I didn't have flights worked out. Then today I find out that I didn't pay close enough attention and my coupon code expired 3 weeks ago. UGHHHH!!!! :eek:

So - anyone got any ideas re: if I might get another code?????

Ok that is all for now. Thanks for the welcome wishes and I am going to try to post more.

Becky

So how are you going to break the news to him?? popcorn::

I'm thinking of a Pirate treasure hunt in the park at the end of my street. He loves dressing up in his pirate gear, so thought I'd work that into it. I would put in our mailbox some MICKEY MAIL for him to open and he'll find a treasure map inside which would lead him to the park. He'll use a shovel to dig where X marks the spot, OR use the metal detector as the container he'll be looking for is a metal tin. Inside the Tin will be a formal notice that he is going on a "MOMMY & ME CRUISE", aboard the Disney Dream, in X number of days. THATS kinda the plan IF I can keep it a secret. Lately when it's about to slip, I end up saying somethingin like "TIM, I have A FABULOUS Surprise for you.............but you'll have to wait till your birthday to get it", or it comes out "TIM........." at which point I get control of myself, and end up saying "I Just Love you SOOOOooooooo Much!" It's most difficult to keep my mouth shut when he's either upset (because telling him would definately cheer him up), or when he's done something really sweet (which he does often). Ohhhhhh, how many more days till July 23rd? Thats when we'll be having his little birthday party with just family. He's actually away at Camp for his ACTUAL birthday, and doesn't come home till the 18th, so we must wait till the following weekend to celebrate. He keeps telling me I could wrap up the surprise and send it to him at camp :rotfl:
 
This sounds like an awesome way to deliver the surprise! I hope you can keep it a secret. That sounds like such a fun way to find out about a cruise! :thumbsup2

Now all of a sudden it seems like time has come to a stand still. Now I know I shouldn't wish my life away....................but September can't get here soon enough!!!!:banana:
