For first seating people... if you will send me your reservations I will call and try to get us seated together. I'm off this week, so I have time to do it.

And, definitely we need to get a group picture!

Jackie, I'm getting ready to roll change too! We have a large jar (came from Sam's and was full of dog biscuits at one time) that every afternoon we dump our change into it. Then, around time we take our family trip, we roll the change for our spending money. It's amazing how much it normally adds up to... But, then I always wind up with a roll not quite finished... Go check your car. I always find some extra change there.

We leave our missions can on top of the dryer so all our change goes to our church missions teams.

What's a missions can?

I'm not experienced but .... I imagine it's churches go on missions to help the poor or just send money to the poor. Like the ones that go to Mexico and build homes... I've always wanted to do that.

Howdy Strangers!

As you all probably have guessed by now, I'm not a big poster on the weekends!

Anyway, I had no problems whatsoever booking the day and time I wanted for Palo (our last night) early (6pm), still leaving time to meet with my DIS peeps at dinner later that evening.
I also booked the excursions we wanted. The catamaran sail and snorkel at Nassau, parasailing and stingray adventure on CC.

This morning I saw on the DIS that the Wishes DP has been extended, so booked it for Oct. 4th to surprise DH! tee hee. (we will be in WDW for 5 nights pre and post cruise for a total of 2 weeks vacation time. It's a biggie for us!)

Jen, I love all the work you post! I can't wait to see my FE! Sorry I didn't e-mail you back about the whole Minnie/bow thing. I will in the next day or so I swear!

We are saving so many different ways! Just this morning I checked our Buzz bank. That is where I put away singles and fives if I can sneak them from DH. We are planning on using this $ for tips throughout the trip but as of now we only have $100 in there so we have a long way to go...

We also have my Disney Debit Visa card Rewards (only $100) and our regular Chase Debit Rewards (only $40) plus I do Sunshine Rewards which I hope to be able to cash out for $150 at the end of the week.
Other than that, it's just saving, saving, saving!!!! Eesh.

Ok, just wanted to say Good Morning to everyone! We're in for a group pic for sure!

Are all you guys friends on FB? I missed out somehow...I'm on there too.

LOL no worries! You arent bothering me but I worry I am exasperating you with all my questions and not getting it very quickly at all!

I am trying to find ways to get money from CCs too. I have a disney Visa and with the cruises and stuff I will get maybe $120 from them, then I have a WKU cc that gives back 1% and I have $55 on there already. I use this for any other item I will buy. I dont use cash but with the way things are going, i am going to have to get a second job! (plumbing, car repairs etc) And I am doing inbox dollars too. I have $40 there lol I am trying to get swagbucks but they dont give very many points so if I can eekk out a $25 GC to Disney I will be shocked. Then my OBC that should sustain me for the cruise LOL Maybe I should start saving change, but when you buy everything with a CC, you dont get much change LOL

Exactly what she said, plus our church supports a bunch of missionaries all over the world as well.

I'm a doof. I should have finished reading the post but awesome for you! I have a girl in my Sunday School class that is a missionary and just got back. We are hoping she will find a job here because we enjoy her so much in our class!

Oh wow! I just noticed your English "accent" LOL You are going to be on the same floor as me! I am in 7556 so down the hall really! Are you going to want to do the FE or combined seating??

Wow I never even noticed the accent. I love English accents.

 

[JenGC]

Wow I never even noticed the accent. I love English accents.

I KNOW! But I have a hard time figured out how to translate English to English. Do they have dictionaries that do that?

Welcome back to the boards. I mostly lurk during the week, but it moves so fast I feel like I get way behind that way.

Sowwy! It was quiet before I came in here with my loud mouth!

I dont really understand the FE I get that its like a secret santa thing but how do we exchange the gifts and what type of gifts are normally given? But yea, put me down for that. I'd love to do the combined seating but my dad is just unbelievably shy lol I'll come over and say 'hi' though, if we're in the same restaurants

Lol, its probably easier for us English to understand what your saying coz we have so much American TV over here. Last time we were on the Disney Magic, which was a 7 day cruise, we were sat next to an American family and got really friendly with them (we still e-mail now and that was 3 years ago), the 2 girls who were mine and my brothers age had a really hard time trying to figure out what we were saying most of the time lol
